Witcher 3

[emjay]

Me? I actually looked that up on YouTube just to see what it was... and it was very weird... a shootemup but with very weird characters like a guy with a dog on his back...

The dog is pretty cool. The characters are weird because that's how they make their money. The game is free, but people pay for cosmetics upgrades, dance moves, etc. It's a pretty cool model.

Ah, right... so it's basically like a Facebook game. Tbh I usually avoid games that involve 'in app purchases' especially for 'virtual' benefits like in game currency etc; I mean that just seems a recipe for addiction. So like as much fun as Angry Birds is, I'm not willing to pay to play it in the sense of buying powerups. It's not about being cheap but the principle of spending money on virtual and transient benefits like power ups etc. But if it really is possible to play a reasonable game for free, then I'd be okay with it. Ie in fortnite do you have to buy these cosmetic changes and/or can you gradually earn them, albeit much slower, by playing?

really didn't know what to make of it but I've never really played any of those sorts of games like call of duty (another one I looked up on YouTube and was impressed by the technology of it but have never played it). I was slightly introduced, indirectly, to fortnite through the notion of 'battle royale' which another game, age of empires 2, borrowed from it in some of its recent maps - as in an encroaching storm that forces action into the middle of the map - so that looks pretty cool. Yeah, I'd be willing to play if I knew what console it was on and it didn't cost too much to get one

We (AF plays more than me) play on PC.

Right, cool. I might have a look at it then at some point, and if you were serious about wanting to play with me... though I can pretty much tell you in advance I would not make the most skilled teammate in a game like that... then we could try and figure out how to do that
