My Qualm With GWENT
To start off with, I'm absolutely not bashing on GWENT here! I was hoping for an online Gwent game after only a few rounds in the in-game Gwent. I signed up for the GWENT beta the moment it became available! I'm a huge fan of the Witcher universe and I can barely wait for GWENT!
Having said that, I still have some qualms with these sorts of games. As a very picky gamer - who mostly like great single-player RPG experiences - I have trouble with games that require you to spend multiple hours on end everyday to have a competitive chance. I simply don't have that drive and passion for it.
I wanted to become good at Hearthstone, but quickly realized that you had to spend countless of hours (and real money) to be anything near successful at it. I have no problem spending real money in-game if I love the game. I didn't spend a lot in Hearthstone since I didn't really connect with it after some intense playing.
With GWENT, however, I think it's going to be different because I adore the lore and Witcher games so much - I want to become great! I'm ready to spend money. I want to be competitive! But fear that I won't be able to keep up with gamers of a different mindset.
Even though I want to be competitive, I also want to enjoy GWENT; I want to take my time, play through the campaigns and learn at a reasonable speed. That's quite contradictory, I know.
Do you guys think gamers like myself will have trouble on the competitive scene? What are your thoughts?
