Damn Right I'ma fanboy!
Well no offence mate but that's not something you're supposed to be proud of.Lack of critical thinking and inability to criticize because you're '
in love' with some developer or company is really disturbing and I would never understand how can someone become some company's 'minion' defend them no matter what.
P.S.
I'm a HUUUUUUUUGE CD Projekt's FAN.
Not a fanboy.So thus I'm sorry and I will risk being named a '
hater' a '
whiner' and other beutiful names anyone gets labeled with if he dares to criticize some company.Now let me elaborate why this is bad (to be perfectly honest it DOESN'T MAKE ANY BLOODY SENSE):
First and foremost the sound of rolling dice and sounds of people losing or wining is much more fiting for medieval style tavern than playing YU-GI-OH type of card game.Do I have anything against new card game?Nope,why should I,if they make it fun then the more - the better.Do I have anything against cutting dice poker?You can bet I do.
If it's unbalance - than how can they balance other minigames like the card one cause it will also be played for money?
It's unfitiing - after 2 games it became and it is part of tradition.This reminds me of Bethesda's cutting of sprears in Oblivion and so on.Why they did it?Well...they just did it.Too much work.Well that's excuse for idiots and everyone who does business knows for PR talk.And that's just it.
If CD Projekt uses the same excuse that it's too much work despite minigame being already done and needing only minor tweaking than I will have no problem to call it PR Talk.
Don't be stupid like Bethesda is and cut good stuff because..................REASONS!!!!! Keep good stuff and add new good stuff.
NOONE can convince me that by removing dice poker game will be better.
P.S.
If by any chance dice poker is in the game and your programmer just didn't know that for sure cause he did say:
I'm not sure than for love of God tell your employees to
STOP talking about things they are not sure about cause by now we had a gazilion conflicting stories about everything from world size to hair cuts.
I think I'm one of the few ones here who is sad that arm wrestling is gone. Now no Dice poker either. Why ?
CDPR could have just kept the games and improved them, and added the new games on top of it. Dice Poker is THE mini game that defines the Witcher series, it was there since the first game.
And almost every mechanic in every game can get exploited except in the games that don't give the players save option and the game saves automatically (checkpoint system). Even decision making can get exploited with optional save system. If CDPR wants to stop the exploitation of mini-games and decision making they have to change the save system and not take the mini games out of the game.
^Plus this.Come on.It's not like they are trying to make things harder if anything they are trying to make things more accessible so making money harder to get plus inevitable exploitation makes such 'reason' a pure BS.
