We've seen such little coming out about the game's development, and the last trailer was still quite rough. I never expected 2018 to happen.
This game is going to be another big disappointment, but I don't get too emotional about these things, so hopefully it's a disappointment I enjoy playing like Torment or Dreamfall were. |

It's not that it's not possible to comply with GDPR it just that they don't want to commit the resources to do so.
I wonder how many other developers out there just don't give a damn or are going to be dealing with situations retroactively as they come up as opposed to proactively.
I'm sure there are some, but the penalties are pretty steep so it's really not worth the risk to neglect it.
Where it may have been OK to keep a mostly dead game running before, it's just not worth it now. I think it will get easier as new games will consider privacy from the start, but right now it's chaos unleashed. |

I'm in the minority but many of the quests are terribly written (chap 3 bank job, Shanni and Triss) and the constant false choices (chap 1 Abigail). Forced to play as a poorly written egotistical male instead of creating your own Witcher (male or female, good or bad or neutral) then learning about the world, while doing the main quest to find out what happened to the magical widget.
I mean, those would be fair criticisms if the game had been created out of nothing, but it's an adaptation of a series of books, and geralt is the main character from the books. It's called 'The' Witcher not 'A' Witcher. This is like complaining that you have to play Batman in a Batman game.
I thought the writing was pretty good, but this game was a bit of a slog to get through, especially towards the end. |

Yeah strange choice for the answer to "which gibson novel should we adapt?" It is neither the most conventional of his novels, nor the most recognizable.
Stranger Things 2 got a little hokier than 1. The weird parts felt more obvious and some of the character reactions felt less believable. The good parts were still enjoyable.
I'm a little curious where they can go storywise at this point, I could see it getting real dumb real quick. Please don't make Will the focus of the danger a third time. His mom's been through enough lol. |

Honestly I think steam sales and game backlogs as a result have done more to prevent piracy than all the copy protections thrown together.
Don't forget all these day 1 patches and then constant updates after that. Most pirated games (at least a few years ago) required a new crack every time there's an update. Who wants to play with an old version of the game? The whole process with keeping your pirated games patched and cracked isn't worth the effort.
Too right. Companies should have never messed with rootkits and such and put more effort into buggier releases. |

I actually liked the first one, even though a majority of folks seems to disagree.
It was a nice distraction, but I haven't thought about it much since. I had similar feelings about other non-gta open world games, like [prototype] or the whole saints row series. |

If shenmue 3 is any good, I'm sure there will be many new to the series who are intrigued and would want to go back to be filled in on the story. So it's cool that they will all be available on the same device.
Big if at this point. |

The Long Dark? Really? Shitty abandonware from asshole devs. Won't even run on my PC for more than 5 mins without CTD.
It clearly works for someone's machine(s). You might want to try running in dx9 mode (https://steamcommunity.com/app/305620/discussions/4/1290691308593730337)
While the story isn't that great, and hasn't reached a conclusion, they've delivered more than was promised. I feel like I got my moneys worth out of a game that stands out in a pretty crowded genre (filled with mostly awful cash-ins). |

| I've started like 3 times and can't make it to the part where it gets good. I want to play it because I know there's a cool twist, but before then it is the exact kind of bland shooter I suspect they are going to make some kind of point about later. Shrug? |

Trumps hatred of Amazon has nothing to do with Amazon and everything to do with the Washington Post.
Amazon is scary but not for any of the reasons trump would point out. |

NWN1 used a poor ruleset (3.5 is far superior), dated GFX even on release (what happens when a game is in dev for 5 years) and now just plain painful to look at and a subpar main story which amounted to a mix of convoluted motives of the main NPC and a giant fedex quest. The ONLY redeeming quality of it was the MP/toolset. If it wasn't for that just on it's raw SP quality it wouldn't be on anyone's list higher then temple of EE. Quite forgettable.
NWN2 was far superior in both story, GFX and gameplay. Why they are hell bent on putting more time into this hot mess and not NWN2 is perplexing.
On the otherhand, the toolset was outstanding. I don' think I've put as much time into a non-mmo as I put into NWN1. And it took so long for the community to migrate to nwn2 that by the timer I felt like picking it up it seemed kind of dead.
No, I also don't see the point in trying to make it happen in 2018 lol. |

| Every few years another push for RRT. It's never going to happen because the industry keeps finding ways to make polygons work better. It's still a ton of artist effort to set up all the tricks required to make polygons look rendered, but the tools to do so and the quality of the hacks get better, while the complexity of scenes required for modern games stay very far out of available raytracing power. It's cool to see advancement and I think it's worth smart people continuing to whittle away on it, but don't get too hyped up about next years games or anything. |

I don't need a better headset for Gorn - my personal killer app. It's a great workout I am happy to play for short bursts every so often.
I'd like the resolution bump for other experiences, but it's not really worth this price.
Still I'd rather they release what they have so devs can start planning to take advantage of future upgrades. |

Everyone wants more restrictions on the 2nd amendment. How about more on the first?
No. When was the last time someone murdered innocent kids with the first amendment. Oh right, never.
Right, because nobody does this for the instant notoriety the press issues them. Oh, wait...
Why do they do it has many answers and no one really knows for sure which would have the biggest impact. Would not repeating there names or making a big deal about it on the news prevent them? Maybe. I do think that's one avenue that could be looked into.
How they do it though is a well known and solvable problem.
I'll bend a little on 1st amendment if you do on 2nd. Fines or losing tax breaks for news organizations above a certain income who report on stories in ways that may lead to copycats. If the penalties are to the corporation and not to individuals I'm kinda OK with that. |

| Their website provides no link to the game. Their mention of steamworks leads me to the idea that the game is on steam, but I'm not going to go search for it on my own. The greatest rpg ever doesn't do you much good if your business funnel is broken. |
