All Things Video Games & Game Reviews Part II

[Gonzo]

Hey all, you know the deal...
The other thread hit over 1,000 posts and we have server issues when that shit happens so here she be, a fancy new mega thread.

Anyway, just a quick rundown.

Post anything and everything gaming in here. Console games, handheld/mobile games or PC.

Playing something you love or maybe hate? Find a hidden gem on Steam? Let us know via a review. Try to make sure you give a good rundown on it. Graphics, sound, storyline, overall gameplay and replayability. Let's keep it at a 1-10 scale.

Thanks to all that left me awesome rep comments/posts and even pm's thanking me for the many reviews I wrote.
Just an FYI, developers do read our comments in here I guess. CD Projekt Red (of Witcher 3) was one that stopped by.

Anyway, thanks all for your input and as always, no griefing.

I really recommend taking the time to experience the Witcher 3 story before the game starts to feel too dated. It's one of the best story-driven games ever made, and it's absolutely worth the 80-100 hours it takes to complete (especially with all the DLC, which, are whole new stories themselves). Plus, Gwent is a fun mini-game that adds a nice break from the main story.

It can be really helpful to look up a quick synopsis of the first two Witcher games to better understand the motivations of the characters in The Witcher 3. I played The Witcher 3 without any prior knowledge and figured it all out as I went, but after finishing, I went back to learn more because the story was so good and I wanted to fully understand the context.

Agreed. The only thing that can get dated with that game is the graphics. The story is absolutely amazing and the DLCs are just as good (although I prefer Blood and Wine over Hearts of Stone).

Gwent was very addicting once you understand it. I found myself fast traveling to every town trying to buy the cards and play every person I can. It was such a time waste from a storyline perspective, but just so much fun.
