Gwent is fucking Condottieri for 2

[Gangrelrumbler]

Holy shit!

 

[Gerrard]

What

Is this the thread where we post how stupid the AI is?

Also, you know what is really dumb about Gwent? You have cards with different powers but there is no playing cost, so you just cram in the most powerful shit you have = person with best cards wins = shit game. At least I don't have to spend real money on it.

AI gets better with stronger opponents..
This game is pretty solvable mathematically if you know what cards both opponents have.

I don't think they went that far with it though.
I really enjoy Gwent but it really favors who has the bigger dick cards.

 

[Perkel]

good spin on card games.
Easy simple rules and yet deep enough to have fun is minute or two

I assume they will release it in physical version along with probably separate game for download

It'd be funny if they started collecting more by microtransaction than by selling the actual game:D

I thought the whole idea behind it was "gotta catch'em all" to favor and reward exploring?

This is Condottiere:
https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/112/condottiere

Similarities:
+soldier cards ranked from 1 to 10
+hero cards that are unaffected by special cards
+winter card that redces strength of all normal soldiers to 0
+decoy card
+card that discards the strongest card on the table
+card that doubles strength of all normal soldiers

Differences
+Condottiere lacks leaders, medics, cards that summon other cards and spies, normal cards don't have special abilities
+Gwent lacks surrender card (ends the battle the instant it's played, whoever is stronger at the moment wins) and courtesan card
+Gwent is for two players only, Condottiere is for 3+ players
+Gwent has 2-3 rounds, Condottiere is played until one player captures enough territories
+In Condottieri units are not separated into melee/distance/siege, they all fight on the same level, which means that winter is even deadlier

Gwent is retarded.

The entirety of the world's casino/gambling business also proves you wrong, by the way.

Okay, so you're so stupid that you cannot see a difference between normal poker and rolling dice. Could've said so earlier, would save me time arguing with an idiot.
Or do you not understand the purpose of a casino?

No wonder you like Gwent, it's just as retarded as you are, you shitposting edgelord. Are you seriously so mentally impaired that I need to spell out the similarities between poker and dice poker (hint hint hint), in concept and actual gameplay?

BTW, don't bother replying shitposting back, I'm ignoring you.

You don't say?

 

[Gangrelrumbler]

Dice poker was almost pure luck. Roll a dice, reroll once, pray. It's almost nothing like an actual poker which is why you can't play it in real casinos.

Don't pretend that I'm not right Jools, Dice Poker was garbage. It was removed for a reason.

Dice games were universaly popular all thru ancient and medieval times ''The Dies are Cast'' when card games being en vogue since only renaissance and only initially among the idle rich royal courts and aristocracy. Soldiers, Witchers and Proles using cards instead of dice game all in the moment of ITZ like Invasion of MILFguard .
CDRP ing down Twicher setting on their way to be AAA Kwan like Publisher like Biowaste and Bethpizda.

People used to fuck goats for fun too soo....

Too bad the game is played by actual people and not character's from Sapkowski's books. But yeah my gripe with Gwent is that it's so lore unfriendly it hurts. First of all the game is nothing like the game described in the books, secondly it has information almost nobody should fucking know like Ciri being a swordsman or Ereding being the leader of the White Hunt, thirdly nobody comments about being featured in the game, and last of all the ilustrations would be impossible to made by anyone in the Witcher's world. So yeah, dice poker was more lore friendly, but it was the only good part of it. Becoming master of Dice Poker required nothing besides luck.

 

[Doktor Best]

I dont mind gwent, i just think they should have kept dice poker in aswell. Dice poker for gambling and making money and gwent for collecting card and actually playing a game that has a nice mixture between tactics and luck.

 

[Commissar Draco]

If they wanted cards they should bring back booby cards, not to pussy out before the SJWs.

^ This is my biggest gripe. If the game would consist of elven, north and milf deck it would be just fine. Deck consisting of illustrated versions of combat units. And without heroes who are known in Lore because they tie to Geralt's/Ciri's story.. It would be better with some heroes that are known through the game world because they are Big Names (eg. Coehoorn (?) who was the Milf commander during famous Battle of Brenna).
Including people like Dijikstra/Thaler in the deck is mega-ridiculous (because everyone knows they are spies, right? right..)

Monster deck is totally out of ass - most people in known game world can't even recognize monsters even if they attack them, eat them and shit them out.

 

[bonescraper]

I like Gwent.

 

[Talby]

I feel like kind of an asshole for beating Vernon Roche using the Milfgaard deck.

 

[Latro]

I feel like CDPR missed a cool opportunity to expand their own "witcher lore" since Sapowski (sp?) isn't involved, by adding little lore nuances in the cards.
Seeing some historical event being mentioned in a future Witcher game referenced lightly through the W3 cards would have been pretty cool.


For instance "insert famous medic who saved such and such in this such and such region is mentioned in card", you run into a relative or whatever in a future game. Just little touches like that.
