No, it doesn't. And now the multiplayer mod is cancelled too. You can really tell that this game was supposed to be free-2-play at some point.

Holy shit, it's like they had no idea what made the first game any good.
I'm still not convinced Rorie was telling the truth.I wonder when that video of Brad and Dan trying the Elusive Target will go up. Still not on the schedule.
Breach mode in Deus Ex Mankind Divided looks like a mode no one ever wanted or asked for.
I do wonder if those types of modes that no one really plays are easier to do than the tacked on multiplayer that no one plays.
I figure SE or Edios is requiring some sort of repayable mode.
Edit: Easier is probably not the way to say that....Maybe cheaper?

Just watched UPF and holy shit, Overcooked looks like Cook Serve Delicious meets Spaceteam. I am SO getting in on that shit. Seems great.
It does look awesome. That is the kinda of chaos I want in my couch mp games.

Playing RDR, there is a reason I it finished it 2 in the month it came out. Damn it good.
However I've been having a strange issue I don't remember having when it came out. I can't seem to aim my gun while riding on a horse or riding a stage coach, almost every time John Marston dismounts.
Had to replay this mission 5 times because of it
I looked at the controls and it says only triangle dismounts. Its strange bug.
I just need to know were Javier Escuella is friend.

I'm almost done replaying the story and this made me laugh aloud. I had forgotten how 90% of the plot is just John getting jerked around on a leash while asking everyone if they've seen Bill Williamson or Javier.

Finally went back and finished Witcher 3 after 130 hours. Ending was ok, I wish I hadn't spent so much time on side stuff. I don't think I'm ready for the expansions yet.

Yeah lol, almost every story mission is...
1. John enters scene.
2. Goons or bandit try to cause trouble
3. John says something cowboy cool partner.
4. Right as fight is about to break out main character enters.
5. John and said character talk.
6. "Were is Bill Williamson and or Javier Escuella?"
7. Character give vague non anwser.
8. Character says do this thing for me and I'll help.
9. John - "Well I guess I ain't go much of a choice amigo"
10. John completes task, still doesn't know anymore about Bill or Javier than before.
11. Complete steps 1-10 until you find Bill or Javier

Listening to the newest Bombcast, it's really cool to hear Dave Lang speak so frankly about business stuff. Very good talk going on.
One day he'll have to spill the beans on Arkham Knight PC, right? Surely NDAs can't last forever...

It's less the NDA and more about Iron Galaxy's rep with their partners.
Edited to add: given the disaster of the Arkham remasters, it's pretty clear that there's something deeply flawed with the modified UE they've been using. Masterful technical games on their designed platforms, but not adaptable at all.

If I remember right Jeff problems were in the gameplay department and not being in to cowboys in any media. While the main missions are mostly what is listed the sidemissions are not so it doesn't bother me. RDR is really well written imo and relationship between John Marston and Bonnie MacFarlane is one of, if not the best, the best male-female relationship I can remember in video games.

Yeah RDR's story is like, 3 great scenes people remember, and 90% fetch quest nonsense. All of Mexico was a giant waste of time in every way and the game would've been better off without it. More = / = better.

DLC stories are so much better than the main story. I feel they're more concise and less convoluted.

Game wouldn't have been better if it didn't feel like Marston was going through a long trek to get to where he ended up.
It's not like Witcher 3 where there's all this side bullshit and half of it doesn't effect the main story whatsoever and conflicts with Geralt's goals of finding Ciri.

Ah cool, that's exactly what I'm looking for in more Witcher content. I'll get around to them eventually.

I don't think anything tops the Baron storyline, but the Hearts of Stone is a close second. I wasn't super into the Blood and Wine story but it ends really well and is a great finale for the series

It would still be plenty long without all that stuff, and none of it ties into Marston's story at all until you find whatshisface at the end. It's basically nothing BUT side stories, only they're mandatory.
Also Mexico makes Marston look like a total sap who'll just do whatever he's told. You get conscripted into some awful shit and he just goes along with it. It's really badly written.

Hearts of Stone is really, really, really good and not that long. Still haven't played B&W yet, still waiting for my 1070 to do that.

Why did nobody tell me they are making another Lovely Planet? I really liked that game. And it's out next week. Hoping for a Drew/Dan QL again.
Movies only use 24. So that's the maximum a game should have
i mean 30 seconds per frame is maybe a bit much
just my opinion

Oddly enough The Witcher could work well as an episodic game. A new 3-6 hour long self-contained story every few months? Yes please.DLC stories are so much better than the main story. I feel they're more concise and less convoluted.
I suppose TW3 kind of is a bunch of "episodes" already (White Orchard/Vizima, the Bloody Baron and the Crones, The Flames of Novigrad, Skellige, and so forth) but containing it all in one package means it's easier for people to get burnt out.

Eh, that's just the nature of hub-based games. TW1 and TW2 were basically the same, with a big story for every location you went to as well as a handful of other things happening that you can stumble across. The only difference being that TW1 and TW2 were more linear in progression than TW3, which of course tied the progression together in a more seamless way.
I don't think an episodic, or even more linear TW3 would've been such a revelation. It is a remarkable title in part because it wove open world gameplay seamlessly into an epic-scale RPG, sacrificing neither the quantity nor quality either side is known for. On its own it'd just be an incredible RPG, but with both it is, well, the most lauded game of all time.

On the bright side, it's not Clash Royale or that wrestling game about feeding cards. I guess.

I can second the recommendations above for both DLCs. Hearts of Stone is the better overall story but Blood and Wine brings Geralt's story to a satisfying and surprisingly moving conclusion.
