Lost for words. Yennefer looks cool. Witcher 2 was my game of the generation even though it was short compared to other rpgs. The ending made me want more

GeraltofRivia3559d ago

You can play The Witcher 2 a second time around, chose a different path, and most of the game is completely different. Don't rush through both playthroughs and The Witcher 2 can easily last you over 80 hours of gameplay

blackstrr4113559d ago

I don't want to spoil my ending. I just hope there's a way they can give us options to continue with our story.
Eg. For people that played witcher 2. Give us options to choose our path

This game is gonna be great. I would much rather play a game like this where I could create my own character though, much like Skyrim or the great Kingdoms of Amalur.

oIITSBIIo3559d ago (Edited 3559d ago )

No .
The game is about the story in the first place and this is the 3rd game of the series how the hell would you want to create a stupid random character Instead of Geralt of Rivia !
how do you expect your new character to fit in the story ?
and what about Geralt story that didn't end yet ?!!
your idea is totally wrong and doesn't work with the Withcer game .

Drithe3559d ago

Because the character you create is YOU, whether you role play or not, and you tend to enjoy the game more when it is YOU and not someone else.

Geralt of what? The same attitude was also used with Tomb Raider and Lara Croft. I didnt play Tomb Raider because of Croft. I played it because it was a cool game. The story of the Witcher is surely awesome though.

The thing I hate about story driven games are the sequels. How come I have to go back and RE LEVEL CHARACTERS that should already be badass to begin with and have all the moves? Logic says that Geralt should have all of his abilities from the prevoius games at the beginning of this new game, but every rpg like this I have ever played you always have to go back and RELEVEL them again. This is stupid and makes no sense to me.

aliengmr3559d ago

What you don't understand is Geralt is not just a character, he's much more. Geralt is the perspective of the outsider, the frame in which the story is told. His perspective is the whole point.

The point of ES games is to be a nobody. to be dropped into a world that, in theory, doesn't revolve around you.

They are different types of narratives that have different perspectives. Changing that would harm the story.

It would be more awesome if that Live action will include bed scene just like the actual game itself lol.

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave14d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan14d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Cacabunga38d ago

Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name38d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno38d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno37d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure37d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
