The Witcher 3 GOTY Edition

On the other hand, we sure have more tolerance for naked tits and asses, unlike the American prudes that's why Witcher games happened on this side of the pond.

 

The first Witcher actually had the sex cards censored for some reason in the NA release, they were uncensored in the enhanced edition. Don't think they ever bothered giving a reason as to why they were censored to begin with.

 

Because it was more tasteful as LundB demonstrated https://rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/arcanum-modesty-mod.70721/page-4#post-2414292

 

And Tagès in Witcher 1.

If it behaves like malware, malware it is.

 

America's fear of nipples and love of blood is really crazy at times. You can see people randomly disemboweled on cable TV at 7:00pm on a Wednesday, but Janet Jackson accidentally shows a nipple briefly and the whole country goes apeshit.

 

Eros has traditionally been scarier than Thanatos. Reproduction is a basic need, murder is not. Such a powerful need it is that it can sap your free will and take over your body at puberty, in addition to the extreme neural stimulation. This is frightening to a "civilized" human being who likes to be in control of himself.
Losing control turns people into beasts, so you can see why this has always been a problem, especially in cultures influenced by the three Abrahamic religions.

 

Isn't a powerful inevitable need kept in check by regularly satisfying it ? Doesn't deprivation invite much more catastrophic loss of control ?

 

Form follows function.

Mere friction isn't satisfaction.

 

Yes. I suppose basic needs shouldn't be universally vilified even if the fringe individuals manifest them in ways that are disruptive to the very fabric of society. Some conservative cultures seem off-balance in regard to sex, but then some people believe that tolerance for the baser needs is the cause and symptom of cultural decay. I'm going to pick the easy answer and say that the right balance is needed since there clearly are many things to consider beyond what anyone happens to want at any given time. The universal constant "brighter burners burn out faster" seems to apply to many things, like how lab rats live longer and healthier if they are only given enough food so they won't starve.

 

The need you spoke of was reproduction. The need they're speaking of is draining blue balls.

The biological illiteracy involved in conflating the two has nothing to do with Abrahamic religions.

 

I really don’t understand the angst about the Witcher 3; it is a wonderful game with maybe the best cast of NPCs ever with good dialogue, fantastic voice acting, even the lowest of sidequests have something interesting or remembered
Yeah the combat is okish, sort of a Arkham City kind of approach or a poor man Dark Souls and yeah the leveled world, leveled monsters and the dwarfing of interesting aspects like Alchemy and oils for combat is not the best but it gets SOOO much right that is easily forgiven, plus the various oberhauls like EE or Ghost mod help cure the worst offenders

Hell if it had the leveled world of Gothic it could almost be perfect

I am currently playing in on Switch and frankly I don’t think I could get into these huge open ended worlds if not for the current quarantine but frankly I am having a blast, at the higher difficulty levels you need to fight more carefully and at the highest level the oils and potions are almost mandatory

As a matter of fact, I am done with the main game but enjoying it quite a bit
Just got Zelda and was playing also Dragon Quest 11, so what should I do continue to play Witcher 3’s expansions or go play something else and come back when I get the itch for more Witcher?

 

Play the expansions, they're better than the main game.

 

Not to defend CD Projekt, but the DRM in TW2 was a publisher addition. And the GOG version was, obviously, always DRM-free.

 

Reproduction is a biological need, draining blue balls is slaking that need.

No? Aren't sex and all related acts generally considered bad in those, unless performed in a sanctified union in ways that lead to having offspring? It seems like a forced compromise, it's a sin but the clergy understand that it's a necessary sin, or that's what they have the public believe anyway. Remember, those are
the religions in which pleasure of any kind is sinful because it is literally Satan's plan to erode man's belief in God and his efforts to better himself, especially the kind of pleasure that lead to man's damnation.

I'd rather not be labeled as some religious nut so I'm done with this topic for now

 

I don't blame you, if I were that ignorant I'd run too. Or know better than to open my mouth in the first place.

Slaking the need for reproduction is bouncing your boys on your knee, not jacking off in whatever receptacle is handy. The people who taught you otherwise didn't have your best interests at heart, to put it mildly.

There is no such thing as necessary sin. There are no religions where pleasure of any kind is sinful. Fred Phelps brand religion is a lie brought to you all wrapped up in a bow by people who wanted to cut down on the competition for their own kids by convincing you to intentionally fail at the one task all living organisms take care to accomplish, and you bought it hook, line, and sinker.

Grats. I'll be out now too.

 

As much as I like TW3, I'll be the first to say it would need a lot more than that. The loot system is terrible and needs to be completely overhauled.

 

The entire game needs to be overhauled.

 

the main problem of the game is the way the leveled everything; loot, monsters, quests... to make it safe and accesible for console peasants but still a very good game

 

You're getting defensive, aren't you? If the subject is too personal for you then it might be good to admit it, it would put some things in a different perspective. If you were completely un-ironic with the "bouncing your boys on your knee" then I'd say that they both qualify to belong under the same umbrella. Simply Sowing your seed might get the job done sometimes and it serves the more immediate physical need, but many animals will ensure that their offspring will not only be born, but reach adulthood - an age when they themselves will be able to reproduce, which is considered successful reproduction on the parents part. Looking after the young and bonding with them with the knee-bouncing and whatnot will obviously cater to many emotional needs, but the reason it (and pair bonding between mates) exists is because it ensures that the children will have better chances at life.

 

Heh, looks like someone having their own problems dealin'.

Truth hurts even more than that cock up your distended anus?

 

... and you got your pigeon chess checkmate, sir.

 

replaying this, what do you people see in this game?

It's so bland. Combat is left click - dodge - left click - dodge, etc.

Every quest is "humans are the REAL monsters." k thx.

Customization is terrible, skills are so limited and impotent. There are two types of skills, those that make left clicks better, and those that don't.

 

More like "we create our own monsters" congrats for entirely missing the point of the whole series.

 

Its still one idea repeated 1000 times over the entire game. Congrats for entirely missing the point of the criticism.
