gwent Fun but incredibly frustrating
So as many of you know the Witcher 3 has a very cool card game called gwent. I've enjoyed roaming through out the games would and challenging the inhabitants of the games It's also a lot of fun collecting new cards and strengthening your decks. But the thing i like about the game the most is strategy part of it and the thing I hate about it the most is the luck element of the game. Yes I know most if not all card games have a bit of luck involved in playing them and that's perfectly fine.
That is as long as the people you are playing against also have to deal with the luck aspect of the game. So imagine my disappointment and frustration when I got to the side quest High Stakes. Now don't misunderstand me I don't mind that I've lost 10 game straight in a row. But what I do mind is that the developers decided that instead of making the games A.I smarter they decided that they would basically let the A.I cheat.
Now when I say that the A.I is cheating I mean that they no longer have to randomly draw cards from their deck. They can pick w.e cards they want to chose from. This means that they can pick the best cards from their deck every time. Mean while I sit their with a very similar deck have to have my starting cards randomly pulled. Again I want to emphasize the fact that I do not mind that the game is hard. I just hate the fact that in order to win I have to pick counter cards to each person I play against in this quest.
For me at least it takes a lot of the fun out of the game. Because It's either to hard due to the fact the A.I can pick their starting cards or too easy because I can just pick perfect counters. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I was really looking forward to this side quest and it really disappointment me.
One last thing i should mention is that I've only beaten the first player and I did it by picking perfect counter cards to his and in the end it felt like i was cheating so I pretty much abandoned the quest out of frustration so I don't know if the other A.I have the same mechanic. Also please try to remember that if you disagree with me this is just an opinion your free to share yours but don't be mean about it. .
