This game does have a very addicting quality to it.

Gotta love the last scene in this video. Given the relationships in the books and in the games, at first I thought "how in the hell is that even possible given the rivalry between...?" And then the ending came along and I am laughing and wondering what plot threads have to occur for such a hilarious scene.

Re: The Witcher 3 - May 19, 2015 - PS4, XBO, PC

Not had as much chance to play on the game this week as i would have liked, but i am seriously addicted. The stories are mostly really enjoyable, and i have a long list of quests, treasure hunts, Witcher quests etc. to go through. Will take some time. One problem i have had is the Vampire creature that is hiding out in a barn. You climb the ladder outside and then have to drop down to fight him. But the time i have dropped he usually hits me and within a hit or two at the most i am dead. Literally gives you no time to put up a decent fight. I have long since moved on to many other quests and decided i would get back to this one once my character was really built up in stats. I am really loving the fighting now and anytime i see a bandit camp i will stop to wipe them out. One problem that bothers me a lot is when you are running and a creature appears it draws your sword and interrupts the sprinting. Kind of annoying. The lock on and movement in fighting could be improved i would say. Still, all small quibbles and not taking away from how truly great this game is.

Trying to play but it says loading and won't go past menu. Grrrr

Always great when you can't play a single player game due to online issues.

Roach is retarded. I wisteled for him and he got stuck between some other horses. Later he was galloping and I wanted him to jump a small fence which resulted in roach slamming into it

the further i get in this game, the more it is pissing me off. terrible bugs on side missions that won't allow you to complete them.

For the record, I wisteled to him as well, and nothing.

Game breaker?

A few small complaints:

1. Having to get your weapons repaired somewhat frequently and costing a pretty penny.

2. When in a shop and looking to buy an item the game doesn't show you how many of those you already own. The only way is to be on the same page in your inventory and look for that item to see how many you own. A bit of a pain.

3. The world, despite being connected, has areas where you can't just travel through and forces you to use those fast travel posts. Why not make the open world where I can actually travel from one place on the map all the way to a different destination in a different state/district/whatever? It takes you out of the immersion by forcing you to use a travel post.

edit: i checked on youtube. i guess there is a way to trigger what i need, but it's something that is completely outside of what it tells you to do. so stupid.

No major bugs for me yet (PS4).

I thought the Bloodborne load times were long. The loading times are pretty damn dreadful in this game.

as i'm doing that quest that was glitched out, i get to a continuation part of it and it freezes up at the loading screen.

I just got to that part and it is indeed hilarious.

However, I replayed the sequence so as not to get that outcome because
Spoiler:
should I romance Yennefer afterwards, both women dump Geralt in the "threesome" scene. If you want to romance Yennefer, you need to make sure to not have sex with Triss.
