Witcher 3

[John V]

I'm going camping for a week later this month. Easy camping - cabin with electricity, but no internet. Thinking about taking a game to play and the reviews I'm reading make out Witcher 3 to be awesome. Is it?

I'm usually not a fan of swording in RPG's, but it's a decent enough game. I haven't finished playing it as I'm taking a break to play some other stuff, but I'll get back to it eventually.

Hooo boy yes. Widely and rightly regarded as one of the best RPGs of recent memory. The lore is such a nice breath of fresh air from the common western fantasy stuff, since it's all eastern european folklore-based. Tons of shit to do, lots of meaningful choices, great characters.

I'd say though, you should try to find a short recap of the first two games to bring you up to speed if you haven't played them - there's an assload of characters and history and events that are referenced heavily in the 3rd game. But, even if you don't know what's going on Witcher 3 is a hell of a good time.

What would Jesus thought if you were spending your time in sinners game, instead of glorifying the Lord? Repent bro.

Does it have an intro that teaches you how to use the controls? Or should I look up a beginner's guide and save it for offline reference?

Most all games have a tutorial in the beginning, and this one is no exception.

Yeah there's definitely a controls intro, but the lore/backstory is the thing that needs a quick up-to-speed guide.

Thanks! Saw it's based on books, so I just downloaded the first one.

Cool. I play online games - DDO and Fortnite. Last time I played a regular game was Oblivion, so I don't know a whole lot.

Witcher 3 is one of those games that is frustrating in the extreme in places and still one of the best games I've ever played.

Be warned that it is very addictive.

Shouldn't you be singing Kumbaya around a campfire rather than playing video games? Young people today...
