The Witcher 3 Switch Devs Reveal How They're Adapting to Less Powerful Hardware

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, an absolutely massive game, is somehow fitting onto a Nintendo Switch card later this year. Despite nitpicks over graphical fidelity, it's an incredible feat, and one CD Projekt Red is saying they're proud of.

Achievement Locked: The Inaccessibility of Completionism

A huge community exists online now for those seeking full completion of their favorite games, but it seems that not everybody can join in on the fun.

Everytime someone says difficulty is bad because it isolate disabled people I feel like it's an excuse because made by someone who wants to have their work done for them, you talk about how much you dislike something and then add a little "I'm talking for the sake of disabled people", also I think it's a bit disrespectful to think that disabled people can't do what others do, you have someone beating Malenia with his mouth or her feet!

Also after reading this article I feel like you don't want completion to be tied to everything in the game (which includes difficulty settings), it's called completion, yet you want to be one without actually completing it?

If an achievement or trophy is too much for me I simply don't do it. I can complete the game 100% without playing in Nightmare mode-if it's too hard for me (or will take too long like the witcher 3).
Then there is the BS achievement mentioned for FF9 jump rope which I will never waste my time on.

My OCD may act up if something is not complete, but my patience will over power my OCD with ridiculous tasks.

Having said all that, achievements have gotten more relaxed in the last few years as gamers tend to want to complete all of them (due to the platinum trophy), when before they were designed to give you a score-to make you want to try more games like in an arcade. So, focus more on relatively modern games and your OCD will suffer less.

Lots of hobbies are inaccessible. Do you think everyone has the steady hands to build ships in bottles?

But nobody is accusing ship bottling conventions of being exclusionary. That’s just a difficult hobby that nobody cares about.

Every hobby becomes exclusionary at some point. I didn’t feel welcomed to my school’s basketball team. If I wanted to play basketball, I had to join a recreational team.

Why erase a challenge for all at the benefit to a very, very few?
