What are you playing?

[okidna]

Does anybody know what quest you need to take in order to meet with Merigold, or to kill Orianna ?

Spoiler: ans

If you want to meet Triss Merigold in the end game at your vineyard, you have to romance Triss (only Triss, don't romance both Triss and Yennefer or neither). The related quests to romance Triss are "A Matter of Life and Death" (you have to kiss her at the masquerade) and "Now or Never" (say that you love her).

There's no quest to kill Orianna, but if you watch closely, she is the higher vampire Bruxa in the "A Night to Remember" trailer, in another words, the "ending" of Orianna IS the trailer.

Spoiler: oh wow

I didn't realize she was a Bruxa and not a higher vampire like Regis. Gearlt couldn't have killed her if she were higher.

Why not ? I fought Dettlaff.... at the end Regis decided to have the last hit (bite) , but i think Gerald could have ended him with his sword as well. Remember very well when Regis had a conversation with Geralt at the beginning of Blood and Wine when he said that ultimately only a higher vampire can kill another higher vampire.....still Geralt could have had the finishing blow. Regis wanted to do it cuz he was saying farewell to his friend (Regis and Dettlaff where blood brothers)

For sure they made this trailer before they started adding content to Blood and Wine. In the trailer she was intended as a Bruxa ,but int he game she is a higher vampire.... mmmm...i have to find the gameplay. Regis says "she is like me " ...and Geralt tells Regis " i already knew" ...something like that. It's fresh in my mind cuz i finished B&W yesterday .

Anyways thank yous so much @okidna for your imput.
They will make Witcher 4... who knows 10 years from now on.. Cd Projekt has to finish with Cyberpunk ,as the game will most definitely have sequels. A masterpiece as the Witcher can go on and on. You can do so much with the story. Years from now when the visual graphics will be so much improved, we will once again delight ourselves with a new chapter from the Witcher world
Until then ,most of us, we are left still ,to own computers and displays, in witch we can enjoy this current game in 4k ultra settings! That experience must be a completely new game all together

I finally picked up a couple games I've been wanting, and got them on sale for Direct download from Amazon. L.A. Noire, and Max Payne 3. So I'm playing these both, as well as a hard copy of a hidden gem I should have played years ago. It's Venetica, and is somewhat of an RPG. Very fun! I'll throw in some screenshots now, and maybe some of the other two later.

Here come the assassins...

 

[Capitan Harlock]

Just started with a friend playing Clandestine. and Aragami and are very good XD .

Mhm i remember this. I have trouble recalling the fun part. I know that the story starts strong, you immediately feel like you have a purpose, and back in 2009 (i think) when it came out main female character with story etc was rare to find (still is).
Hmmm... if not mistaking i got into Dragon Age: Origins in 2010 with an addon , but 2009 was Batman: Arkham Asylum year. Venetica came after that.

 

[RejZoR]

Guys, you have to try INSIDE! It's from creators of LIMBO and it looks even better, motion animations of everything are so lifelike and the atmosphere is so dark and gritty. It was just 6 hours of gameplay, but I loved it.

Yep, story starts strong, and seems fun, but now it feels like a slog. The game can't decide if it should hold my hand, or just leave me completely clueless what I am supposed to do. I'm going to finish it though, because it is a bit different than many games.

How is that? I've had my eye on that and Dead Effect 2 for awhile for good, mindless, but fun shooting.

Bought Inside over on GoG when it was on sale plus Outcast v1.1. Only played a few minutes of Inside, and Outcast since I was more interested in what my new RX 480 was capable of.

 

[RejZoR]

Grabbed Dead Effect 2 today. Realized I already owned Dead Effect 2. I guess we'll be shooting some zombies soon

 

[EntropyZ]

You know what time it is. The best I can do is 1280x720 on medium with 3 bars of viewing distance (look at that awesome aliasing, and what? No ENBseries? No HD textures? Wha...), and even then the framerate drops crazy in some places. I have to do something while I wait for Ryzen. Almost finished with Serious Sam: FE on Serious difficulty.

I also feel like I should replay Max Payne 1, just because I can.

THIS LAPTOP SUCKS. GAHHH! I WANT TO UPGRADE, I WANNA, I WANNA.

I can almost FEEL IT, that smexy AM4 uATX motherboard and a Fractal Design Define Mini C, possibly even a 1440p Freesync monitor. Aaaagh! I even panic bought a Corsair Vengeance DDR4 8GB stick, and totally forgot to post about it in a showoff thread. Fuuuu.

Send help.

PS: Can't wait for Resident Evil 2/Final Fantasy VII Remakes.

Anyone considered ASTRONEER in place of No Man's Sky? Seems like the game to get if you were disappointed with No Man's Sky.

You know you done ****ed up when an early access indie title beats your game. Take that No Man's Lie. I think I'm going to get this instead, it will even have co-op. Where have I seen this game before... maybe someone put a link in some reddit post, can't remember.

Dead Effect 1 has the same problem 90% of indie games have. It actually has pretty decent graphics and level design isn't bad at all. I can also see developers were huge fans of System Shock like myself, they also mixed in some of the Pandorum movie plot and so on. But it's the movement, aiming and shooting that ruins the experience. It lacks the fluidity of motion, aiming and shooting and the weapons feedback found in other games. It's possible that Unity engine is the reason, I don't know. Because I've played Unreal based indie games and those felt great. Here, best way to describe it is that it feels a bit clumsy and awkward to play. For example, Thief and System Shock 2 had that weird kind of motion compared to super smooth and fluid Quake based games, but they still feel good to navigate. But here, it doesn't. If they could only get this part right, it would be a pretty damn fine game. But for the price I got it, I'm not gonna bitch too much, but that's still my observation.

Note to indie FPS devs. Get the motion, aiming and weapons feedback right and the game will be WAY more enjoyable for your customers. Take Half-Life 1 and 2 as a base. If your game feels to move around, aim and shoot enemies like in that game, you're doing it right. If it doesn't, try to do something about it. I hope they've learned something about that in Dead Effect 2. Again, it's interesting, but could be way more enjoyable if the core element of FPS game feels great. It's late now, so I'm done shooting zombies for now, but I'll be killing them tomorrow

Play it like it's counter strike and it suddenly plays more naturally.

Don't ever aim down sights.

Pretty sure 3 is the end. There will be no more. If Cyberpunk 2077 sells well, I think they'd work on a sequel to it.

Yeah, CDPR was pretty clear, the Witcher series ended at 3.

It's not even the aiming down the sight, it's just the aiming itself. And the movement. For example, sprinting goes into instant narrow view, crouching goes from stainding to crouched instantly, these things need to be gradual and fluid to feel good.
