I hit all the question marks on the main map and all of the land-based ones on the Skellige map in addition to completing all the side quests that I could find and the main story plus expansions. Steam tells me I finally finished the game at 148 hours. Compare to Skyrim: Took me more than 300 hours on my first complete playthrough (with DLCs of course). 4 hours ago, Kaligator said: Star wars fans legitimately chase off every single person who is interested in doing more star wars including George Lucas and apparently the only one who is remotely acceptable is someone who only does nostalgia and rehashes clone wars cartoons. You don't have to rehash old things and be stuck into pure nostalgia and yet still admit that if asked which is the best SW movie, Empire or a New Hope are the best replies, Return of the Jedi or Rogue One are acceptable replies, The Mandalorian would be cheating but could be accepted as well maybe (picking KOTOR 1/2 would be a bit too much, though not wrong either), but anyone picking a prequel, a sequel or Solo is just plain wrong. Expecting someone who has some taste to write SW stuff isn't too entitled, and it doesn't mean one who has such expectations just wants to see clones of the original trilogy. It's not because one likes Asimov's books about robots, Foundation and the Empire that one isn't interested in reading his other stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone asked you what the best Star Wars movie was and you answered The Mandalorian or KOTOR you clearly didn’t understand the question.

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I now believe I have 75,000 "?" on my map. Rough estimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to know that I have no taste, since I like The Force Awakens and especially The Last Jedi more than the Mandalorian and Rogue One. I'm deeply sorry that this reply is unacceptable to you; after all, they were critically acclaimed movies, but the Council of Some Internet Star Wars Fans have decided that the sequels are bad, and as we all know, this is very serious business. I accept the judgment of your gatekeeping and will go into exile, away from all Stars and/or Wars. From now on only people with acceptable taste will write Star Wars material, like Kevin J. Anderson and George Lucas and Lawrence Kasdan. But wait, but didn't he write Solo? And didn't Lucas write Attack of the Clones? Only Kevin J. Anderson then. KOTOR: Darksaber edition it is.

I mean, some people just have bad taste. I love a lot of bad movies. Main difference is I recognize they’re bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlyaP Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 A whole bunch of Star Trek games that I'd hoped would get some modern loving are on GOG, including Elite Force and Elite Force 2. Have purchased EF 1 and 2 - both still look and play excellently, even at 1024 x 768 resolutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because it's not even the best game in it's own series much less Star Wars games as a whole. It is a flickering candle next to the Sun of Tie Fighter for example.

Obviously there are better Star Wars games by now, but at the time it was incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 My god, the last mission I completed was insanely hard. What are you supposed to do when you have to fight someone way stronger than you and you have no life?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just quick attacking everything because the movement is so janky. Give me RDR2 specs and I'd be fine, but trapped in a dungeon, with no life, fighting against shit way stronger than you.....good god. It took so many tries and I'm not even out of it, just beyond the worst. Also, feel a bit weird that I wish the hot platinum blonde in the game would teleport next to me, lol.

I turned the difficulty all the way down because of the janky combat. It’s still challenging enough, but I don’t have to micromanage as much and can focus on quests. Also, play some gwent and buff up your deck. That shit is the best part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorn Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 If you're having trouble with Witcher 3 combat, just spam the Axii sign on everyone, stunning them will grant you an instakill. Aard also works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Probably the main reason why I was never able to get into any of the Witcher games - the combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorn Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 The only one whose combat I really hated was 1. Combat in 2 was OK, and I even liked it in 3. Once I got used to mixing up the swordwork with signs and roll-dodges, I developed a rhythm and it became enjoyable. In any case, I never played any of those games for the combat, but for the parts between the fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I need more fingers to do this on a keyboard I used my Xbox for PC controller. Works a hell of a lot better than mouse and keyboard for Witcher 3 imo. And it's not like the game requires any sort of precision aiming since combat is all lock-on based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
