    The main problem is actually that nothing happens between going from point A to point B. New games are designed the way that nothing surprising / not scripted can happen anymore because gameplay is completely streamlined and reduced to basics / simple affairs. Getting from point A to B in e.g. Starflight or RoA meant that anything could happen before you reached your actual goal.
    E.g. in Straflight you had to manage your fuel and cargo for repairs. Having encounters on a simple flight which was supposed to get you from A to B could give you a fight which you have to flee from, looking for a planet to get repair materials with its own hazards (not to mention to find one via scanning etc. while hoping fuel will be enough), to a wormhole which you teleports on an for you completely unknown part of the universe, encountering a new species with negotiations turning out badly because your com officers is dead and you suck at it...
    In new games, even in openworld ones, you can maybe find new things inbetween your questmarkers, but the gameplay is that streamlined that nothing can really happen to you which makes it in general a boring experience (I'm looking at you especially PoE).

    Ten skurwiel czaruje! :P - Yup, there is nothing better than a proper human language version.

    Also when Geralt talks to Płotka/Roche, Rozenek sounds more like the emotional Geralt from Witcher 1 than the indiffrent Geralt from Witcher 2. Did they change the director of the dub?

    Those jumps Geralt makes look insane. It's not unheard of, but in the context that they have mocapped so much, these kangaroo hops look pretty wierd and misplaced.

    Hey guys, I won't be here long. Just checking to see if the usual has happened. You know, guarded enthusiasm at first, then the slow disintegration of that into the almost gleeful conclusion that this is going to be the worst thing ever based on superficial bullshit that has suddenly been deemed important? Oh yeah, I see it has.

    Carry on, gents.

    Geralt is so fucking grimdark he emits a grimdark aura.

    I'd like to get my hands on the idiot who thinks this looks good, or even acceptable.

    I'm fairly certain it's because I'm incredibly stoned, but this made me laugh my ass off:
