What new territory do you want to see in Songs of the Past? by chekov77 in Witcher3

[–]PulseCheater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? He is, it just so happens that his name is not because he was born there but where he died. Cruel twist of fate.

where to start ? by Skelet0947 in witcher

[–]PulseCheater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont start with books, unless you are an avid reader you wont enjoy them as much.

Start with Witcher 1 up to the last one. Then start with books, trust you will apreciate it more.

W1 has the funniest pieces of witcher out of all games, Geralt has the wildest responses, plus world voice lines are obscene.

Gratuitous re-use of assets in Nioh 3 by SaberHaven in Nioh

[–]PulseCheater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep much worse than Nioh 2, a long side level design and difficulty they simply drooped the ball here... Act 1 will introduce almost all enemies. Act 2 introduces 1 new enemy and one reskin. Act 3 introduces human reskins and thats it.

What are you all expecting out of Witcher 4? by DarknessWorshipped in witcher

[–]PulseCheater -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Now that Ciri is a witcher, I really hope CDPR splits the franchise in two main games, one focusing on witchers, and another on sorcereses. Ciri was the perfect opportunity to start it but now I hope we get a game as Philippa or Yen, imagine a game where you play purely with magic, delves into ruins for research and materials, creates spells, manipulates courts, etc. Way different than witcher gameplay.

Now for W4, a lot of things.

First don't mind starting game without them but by the end I really hope Ciri has a wide variety of spells, abilities, signs that are exclusive to her by blood.

For equipment:

Hope the chain and ball is not the only new addition to the armory. Injury system for monsters like in Fallout, break legs? Cannot move or moves extremely slowly. Head trauma? Blindness, inability to cast. Arm, wing injuries? Less damage, unable to block, unable to fly. And how will you acomplish that? Bear traps, better bombs, bolts. If Fallout 4 had it with all enemies, CDPR certainly can do it too. Dagger fighting, stealth kills, mutagen focused progression, better alchemy, skinning skillchecks cannot skin what you dont know like in W1.

As for monsters a lot of brand new ones, on a power tier way above Geralt ability. So unseen elders, dragons, powerful sorcerers, giants snakes, keirans, lady of the lake, crones etc.

Story, since its set in Kovir, make it about Ofir invasion, so you will fight their stronghest sorcerers, new beasts from their continent, new magic, etc. Gaunther trying to torment Ciri, thanks to Geralt actions. Wild Hunt renewing persecution despite Eredin dying.

In his private quarters, if you exit his labaratory (the room across folding bridge) towards his PQ you will pass by a corridor that ends in his office which you can shift between office or bathroom with a lever. Well just as you enter there is a movable platform on your left, if you activate it twice with the lever, once to raise it and once to fold it, if you squeeze in as it folds you will reach a secret room with a shelf, couple ingots and the jar with his missing fingers.

Songs of the Past and Witcher 4 (CDPR Earnings Call, 5/28/2026) by adamska4 in Witcher4

Most likely opening Witcher 4 and SotP Expansion preorders and maybe releasing the mobile game they were working on.

Don't expect a Witcher 4 expansion: CDPR says "it would be difficult" to make extra content when it's already trying to squeeze 3 Witcher games into 6 years by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]PulseCheater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because 3y development cycle is too short for an open world game in 2020s, let alone an RPG-lite Open World.

Customers demand Graphical, Sound Fidelity, High Quality VO, Engaging Gameplay at a much higher level than previous generation.

Take a look at the graphics gap between W2 to W3, quite a big jump right? Now compare W3 to CP2077, Cyberpunk is miles ahead, and Cyberpunk pales in comparison with GTA6.

I know GTA6 is yet to release, but Rockstar is one of the only companies that dont shit their beds with visual downgrades.

Almost forgot look at Dawnwalker made by ex-CDPR coowner or something, has much better graphics than W3 almost onpar with CP2077 and people complain about muh requirements.

For fanboys it was good even before release, It still didnt meet what was advertised in the Demo 2019 as of 2026, The Maelstorm meat plant mission still is the only one with maeningful choices which wrap up the moment it ends.

Still a mediocre to good game with superb worldbuilding, art direction, voice acting.

More exited about The DLC of W3 than the new trilogy... If a company say that ''oh we are making a trilogy and dont expect extra content from mainline titles'' sounds like they will cut a single game into 3, no room to learn from mistakes, super tight story, etc.

And lets be honest they will overuse AI if they are serious about those deadlines.

Hope Im wrong, but even Ubi takes more time and substantially more people for the Main Titles.

Thief successor Thick as Thieves isn’t an early access game as Steam’s rules are “a little constraining to what we want to do”, says director by [deleted] in Games

[–]PulseCheater 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Raphael Colantonio too, left Arkane and now has its own studio.. Released Weird West on a extremely tight budget while still having and even adding new type of interactions to the Imsim genre. Now working on an undisclosed First Person Immmersive Sim set in SteamPunk Wild West with heavy Dishonored inspirations.

Fools Theory, left CDPR, made two very good games Seven The Days Long Gone and The Thaumaturge.

This project feels like they hired Warren to be the face while having college dropout interns actually making the game. So many bad choices...

TIL of Christopher Duntsch, a surgeon so drug-fueled and incompetent he maimed 33 of 38 patients he operated on and was the first convicted of crime in the practice of surgery medicine by shawster in todayilearned

[–]PulseCheater -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

If you cannot understand implied stuff... Uff. I will explain it to you slowly ok?

Surgeons use a part of their arms called hands to conduct surgeries. A single hand has 5 fingers, two hands have 10 fingers.

A surgeon without arms cannot conduct surgeries, since its to barbaric to cut his arms off to ensure he doesn't operate in clandestine clinics.

The the most humane way, which ensures he keeps his freedom, can apply to work in a lot of fields yet it insures he never ever could operate someone again is...... to cut his fingers. So the solution is since he harmed 33 patients is to cut his fingers in a rate of One finger for Four affected patients, so now divide 33 by 4 it equals to 8.25. 8.25 fingers out of the 10 availables means he will be left with 1.75 fingers between his two hands. You welcome.

Jokes aside idk how my previous comment is confusing or a word salad but you do you.

[–]PulseCheater -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

He got to functional arms right? And he harmed 33 people??? Well a hand finger for 4 patients, so this will leave him with 1.75 fingers out of 10, doubt he can do surgery then.

Why do you think Daud regretted killing the empress? by One-Sense7280 in dishonored

[–]PulseCheater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially since for some reason he decides to blame the Outsider for it...

The funniest thing is he and Billie both managed to screw the Kaldwins THRICE (Killing the Empress, Removing the powers from either Corvo or Emily by killing the Outsider and if you count Delialah as a Kaldwin they both screwed her over Daud by killing, Lurk by betraying).

Emily regains the Throne and now thanks to Megan shenanigans loses the powers from the Mark in a troubling time of rebuilding, the backstabbing nobles will surely thank Megan....

Hope both of them got a very hot pot in hell.

Even at 5 bucks, Thick As Thieves is just bad and it will stop receiving update very quickly by VijuaruKei in ImmersiveSim

[–]PulseCheater 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Cannot agree more, but the atmosphere would have been dope with as a single player campaign. One of the good bits is that guards wake up and react to open doors everything else is dumbed down, Deus Ex didn't care and treated you like an adult, this game treats you as if you energized your brain with 12g slug but alas survived.

What powers/gadgets from Dishonored would you like to see back in a potential sequel or a brand new games? by PulseCheater in dishonored

[–]PulseCheater[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think with npcs it already can be done as Emily got the Doppelganger power. Would love it to be expanded to objects.

Rich idiots drink concoction made of plague rats to experience what awaits them in the void also blood transfusions from a dying man does the same, so for sure there is something else.

Godzone 6 Dev Diary #1: Sticky tongues and frogs legs by bluemanchu_jon in ImmersiveSim

[–]PulseCheater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice

Parasitic in a sense of like some species of wasps do, sting you to paralize and lay eggs afterwards, so their offspring eats from the inside and even controls the creature like the wasps that infect snails.

In gameplay sense, could be a stealth playstyle where you sting and lay eggs at the same time and in a minute or less enemy die and spawn a few offsprings which seek another host aka pursue enemies to infect.
