[zkylon]

fourth guardian beaten in la-mulana

this game is great, i only wish it was more clear with what unlocks what and whatever.

like, hit a wall a bunch of times, "puzzle solved" sound and wtf did i just do

specially when you're in like 8 different areas at once and you're also tracking items and seals and whatnot

 

[wilflare]

finally got my PC back up
- removed the failing HDD
- installed new 480GB Intel SSD
- did a clean install of Win 8.1 Pro
- installed both DS4Windows and GeDoSaTo (had to totally disable UAC but oh well)

time to play lol
though I'm flying off tmr

Yay! Now it's my Birthday! Anyway have some bundlejunk.

Happy Birthday!

Ok, if that's the case, I think I'll stick with Roche's side this time and save Iorveth for a second run on insane.

Beware on Roche's path that there's a bug with the Little Sisters quest in Chapter 2: if you talk to any mage about the quest From A Bygone Era (the Operator quest in Chapter 3) before completing Little Sisters, once you reach Chapter 3 you won't be able to complete From A Bygone Era. So, focus on the Little Sisters quest and finish it without multitasking.

As an achievement focused player, there are 3 achievements based on reaching certain talents/abilities in the skill trees. I want to do a save, respec, reload thing to clear the 3 of them out and not have to "worry" about exactly how I do my talents prior to doing so.

I did the same, but I started to save points right after I reached level 8. I was able to get the achievements at the beginning of Chapter 2.

When I played through The Witcher, I think I ended up aligned with The Order, simply because I did not align with the squirrels and I generally was trying to protect Vizima from the crazy squirrel terrorists, so while I'm not a huge Roche fan, I kind of gravitate that way because of my negative feelings about the Scoia'tel.

In Witcher 1 I always side with myself. Neutrality forever!

I've only beaten the snakes, the statue, and some mini-bosses. Some of the stuff is like "How the fuck would I know to go there to do that?" How to damage Anubis was the biggest example of that for me.

 

[Salsa]

I'd rather fuck Yeneffer.

;_;

 

[Teggy]

Looks like Kate Beckinsale.

yeah pretty much, i'm checking a guide half regularly for things i missed since it's really too much to remember for me

i'm too old to figure all this out on my own

;_;

lol shot down

Happy birthday man

I chuckled. He's all stoic in the first one, and then cracks a little devious smile in the second.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Hmm

on one hand it's not the recent edition

on the other I am not really a "true" fan compared to GGXX and I doubt we'd ever get a PC release of the most recent versions of ASW games anyway

 

[electroflame]

So, uh, yeah. I accidentally hit 900 games today.

The 900th game was BEEP, which I got for the cards.

Yeah. Kinda disappointed that I didn't keep better track to make that one special.

come to think of it.
not sure if disabling UAC is a good thing - maybe I'm just paranoid ><

my dad uses my PC from time to time - I use Chrome while he uses IE... what should I move him to? Firefox?

bleh so many of settings not carried over

@paging for Nabs - do you use any DS4Windows profiles

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

my sister texted me about life is strange, so i wrote her back that i didn't know much about it:

...fine

 

[Shadownet]

hehehe, i just got to this one. made me smile too.

he's like

"watch what you do with that arm!"

and then

"right thereeeee"

...fine

you ppl keep ruining it for me

 

[texhnolyze]

;_;

That's even better.
I love hard-to-get girls.

whynotboth.gif

Oh I will. Pretty sure I'm going to have at least 2 playthrough of this game.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Admit you're a Warren.

It's ok bro.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Yennefer really looks like a better version of Miranda Lawson in that screenshot, mostly because of her face and hair.

So, uh, yeah. I accidentally hit 900 games today.

Look at it like this.

Beep is only your 900th game. It's not like 900 games is a big milestone in the grand scheme of things compared to something like the 1000th game will be. Just plan for that instead.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

but geralt be like

That little fourth wall breaking smirk...

 

[Vazra]

Admit you're a Warren.

It's ok bro.

Maybe a Warren with a mix of Daniel.

 

[Nabs]

@paging for Nabs - do you use any DS4Windows profiles

Depends on the game and what I need. They're usually not insane, just for putting important things like the map button on the touchpad, or managing my music or other external programs while in-game.

I did create a decent one with Axiom Verge. I used touchpad swipes for 4 weapons, and the touchpad modifier to put weapons on the d-pad for another 4. The game supports the keyboard well, so weapons are 1-9, just don't forget to check Scan Code if you try this.

Hey Copons...

Not sure if this has been posted yet. To disable the message that a gamepad has been detected over and over again:

http://www.reddit.com/r/witcher/comments/36k02v/question_disable_the_gamepad_detected_box/

Go to your Witcher 3 folder location and go into this folder:

"...\The Witcher 3\bin\config\base"

Open up "hidden.ini" with notepad.

Change "LockControlScheme=0" to "LockControlScheme=2"

This will get rid of the annoying message box and will always show the controls for the controller. You still can switch to your KB/M whenever you want, but it won't display the KB/M controls on the hud.

Now you can get the perfect arse shot without everyone knowing your dirty controller playing ways.

 

[dex3108]

Another mobile app update. Aaaaaaaand it is nothing XD

 

[zkylon]

Admit you're a Warren.

It's ok bro.

haha not really

been a max way too many times tho

 

[Deleted member 125677]

I installed this Witcher 2 game everyone is so on about right now.

 

[Nzyme32]

I ran to this same issue in yesterday, someone else got it too on the OT. Did you run into it in the

diner?

Yeah, the very same

Better rush to 1000 then

 

[wilflare]

hmm one more question
how are you guys enabling DSR (I tried adding Custom Resolutions but my screen just flashes lol)

and how do I ensure that DSR and GeDoSaTo don't fight with each other and get my games downsampled twice or something

 

[Shadownet]

I have the first episode of Life is Strange in my inventory. Haven't felt the need to even redeem it.

#Rebel

 

[Atraveller]

It begins.

Always such bad luck when it comes to horses in open world games.

 

[Copons]

So apparently I'm the only chicken playing TW3 at Story and Sword difficulty level?
And still, I'm being buttkicked by all the dumbest enemies in White Orchard.

Goddamn you, how are you that good at playing vidyagems.

Yeah Witcher games aren't for people who think they can just hash and slash their way through enemies like Skyrim. Even on normal mode of Story and Sword. normal enemies will still fuck you up if you're not careful.

Someone told me about the animation jittery, especially while going slowly on Roach (Geralt's horse). Cannot unsee.. damn they need to fix the animation. less jittery, Geralt keep running into things, cause he got a reaction of a crack addict but the coordination of a toddler.

I died at least once on almost every single encounter on the 2nd hardest difficulty.
I almost died on my very first fight with the ghouls lol.

 

[Shadownet]

I got a buddy who just got the game on PS4, he wanted to play on the hardest difficulty. Despite never playing any Witcher games before.

I had to talk him away from doing that. That's almost like trying to play Dark Souls and all you'll play before that was Skyrim on Easy.

I got my arse handed to me by a pack of level 10 Drowners while exploring a Question Mark in the water but guard up, watch the health bars for when they flash as that's when the enemy is about to attack then either riposte, dodge or roll then go on the offensive. Also read the bestiary to find out what Signs are best for which type of opponent.

At least you can get rid off the controller popup now (see my post above).

I switched to Story & Sword after reminding myself that meditating healed you in TW2.

Yeah Witcher games aren't for people who think they can just hash and slash their way through enemies like Skyrim. Even on normal mode of Story and Sword. normal enemies will still fuck you up if you're not careful.

But I'm not a Witcher IRL!
I'm more like that merchant attacked by the griffin at the beginning, with the bad haircut.

From the Witcher series I just want smartass talking and sweetass screenshotting!

!!! Damn, I missed that post, gonna try asap!

And I guess I also missed when the tutorial told me to look for flashing health bars.

Yeah, but when I meditate I accidentally wake up in the middle of the night and everything is super scary and I go to meditate again until sunrise.

Get off of your high horse!

Lol, adorable.

I gotta say though, the horses in this game, make the ones in Dragon Age Inquisition look like two guys wearing a horse suit.
--------------------
Edit: lmao, adventurers beware.

 

[Chariot]

Murf. Always getting taken out of the game by the game freezing on me when I push ESC too much in the inventory menu (since I instintively want to close it with that button). Hate that >_<

my sister texted me about life is strange, so i wrote her back that i didn't know much about it:

Can't agree more with your sister.

Well, roaches are supposed to fly, aren't they?

I'm starting to get the hang of it though.
Slew the ghost from the contract in one try, yeah.

Well, roaches are supposed to fly, aren't they?

I always misread Roach the horse as Roche.
I'm sorry, Roche.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

there is that "fuck boy" term again. wasn't there a thread about this recently in the ot?

I'm assuming this isn't "fuck boy" as in BILF given the context here?

edit: Urban dictionary is the best geriatric

A person who is a weak ass pussy
that ain't bout shit.

 

[Milamber]

What's a fuck boy?
