Well, I intend to stay in Switzerland if everything goes well, just in a different region ;-)
So anything specific you are considering from the sale?

Admittedly, I ultimately found the control scheme in the first Witcher too awkward, and lost momentum a good 40 hours or so in. Gameplay and writing both seemed much improved in the second game and I thoroughly enjoyed it, but the third one just stood out to me for being so well written and so well rounded. I am anything but a completionist in video games, with rare exceptions... when I wrap up Witcher 3, I'll have played a ton more side quests and treasure hunts and "fetch quests" than I'd usually do in any RPG, but the side quests are really where the game shines, and exploration is fun enough that even the treasure hunts are fun to do, as you're bound to find some interesting places and characters. But I'll be hanging in the hat without coming anywhere near "completing" the game, as there are still a ridiculous amount of "?'s" on the map (which indicate an "undiscovered location," which could mean a bandit camp, or a place of power, or a hidden treasure, or a number of other things).
I'm considering just leaving the game installed after I finish the last DLC just to run around and open the rest of the ?'s, but I've already put in more than enough hours... it's just an absurdly huge game, but it's kept me interested for 140+ hours (mind you, I'm very slow with RPG's, especially ones with lots of in-game books/lore to read, as I read even more slowly than I play) :)

No, I was just going down my wishlist and trying to figure out why I put all that junk in there. :-)

Hello there!
*big return hug*

*alternating between dead tired and insomnia... that's how it's supposed to work, right? Maybe I've just always sucked with the resting thing. ;)

Well, maybe I should start with 3 then, as slow as I play I may not have enough years left in me for the series. :-)
I'll have to check and see if even my new machine can run it, it a bit of a resource killer.

*laugh* Yeah it looked quite full. *wishlist stalker* ;-)

Naughty Valkyrie. :-) I forgot I made it public for GOG Connect, which I always forget to check anyway. ;-)

Haha. I'd say if your machine doesn't meet the specs, work your way backwards and check the specs on 2... it's both amusing and unsettling how effective a reminder of our limited time a video game backlog can be. I used to get *so excited* when I'd see the words "more than 100 hours of gameplay!" on a game ad. These days, I feel that same level of excitement when I see "can be played in an afternoon!"

Just being curious :D

I knew that. ;)

I find that genre plays a big part of that, for me anyway. RPG or GTA-clone/sandbox offering hundreds of hours worth of gameplay? HECK YEAH! Point & Click adventure game? OH NO! But yeah, overall I definitely prefer a short, tight all around strong game over a long up and down game nowadays. A good example is The Cat Lady, you can finish it in an afternoon but it doesn't waste a single bit of its length.

Anyway, good time of day folks!

For anybody wanting to delve into the wonderful world of 90s darkwave heroes Switchblade Symphony, their second album Bred and Jam For Francis has been made available on Bandcamp, joining their debut album there. Switchblade Symphony was a wonderful mishmash of classic goth, industrial, ethereal rock, trip hop with the occasional touch of opera and pop. https://switchbladesymphony.bandcamp.com

Btw. if you want I can send you a friend request since it is quite unfair that you can't see my wishlist.

Yes please. :-)

And now that you've started something would you please hit Akhliber with your Valkyrie +1 hammer for his generous gift? :-)
Thanks Akh!

Alright :D

Hello there!
I guess it's genre-specific to me as well, though I've less and less interest in incredibly long sandbox games for some reason.
Thanks for the heads up on the Switchblade Symphony... have only heard a few songs, and it's been a while, and I'm already sitting here all headphoned up. :)
