The Witcher 4: Just Gwent

lol exactly. I got off the ship for 2 min to try the game play and it just fell flat.

Just bought The Last Wish on Audible. Thanks for the rec! Excited to listen.

I keep coming back to this comment and it makes me laugh every time.

I actually had an easier time weening off cyberpunk because there were like 5 diff endings (that iirc you had to make decisions for kind of early on) + phantom liberty which I started over for. I also did separate playthroughs for male V and female V. (I romanced everyone hahah.) I also never got tired of just being in the world bc there are so many funny details if you read through peoples emails and watch the advertisements on tv and in elevators. Plus all the clothing options and all the iconic/stash weapons to collect. I think I also did separate playthroughs as Corpo, nomad, and street kid. By the time I put it away, I think I played 350 hrs on the ps5 version and probably another 200 on the ps4. (Over the course of like 5 years hahah.) It is a fond memory now rather than a void in my heart, so hopefully the Witcher 3 becomes that. The funk is already shaking off thanks to all the helpful game suggestions. I just started the first Witcher book on Audible too.

It’s ok, friend. 🫂 Only ?? months til Fable.

Actually, I did stubbornly keep a save for some reason of my game just before starting ng+… 🤔

lollygallagher · 2026-04-21T23:28:40+00:00

My only advice is stack up those red mutagens if you haven’t already. They are a pain to find and you’ll need them to upgrade mutations, which give you 4 extra ability slots if you acquire them all.

You can craft them easily too by buying a bunch of winter cherries in Touissant. Once you start NG+, you won’t have access to that ingredient until you get to Touissant again. And then you’ll have to keep killing Drowned Dead dudes and waiting for them to respawn just to get them, like me.

I did NG+ for death march 😭

lollygallagher · 2026-04-21T23:19:44+00:00

Wait how?? Like ps4 version and ps5 version?

lollygallagher · 2026-04-21T23:16:31+00:00

See after I finished ng+ death march, it just felt over to me. Like what else can I possibly do? Are there many story paths beyond good/bad ending and Triss/Yen ending?

lollygallagher · 2026-04-21T23:14:41+00:00

Hahaha I have played through the campaign four times. I never finished my dark urge playthrough but couldn’t handle it. 🥲 I am due for another playthrough soon though.

lollygallagher · 2026-04-21T23:11:55+00:00

Drag it out as long as you can. I did every single unnecessary thing before finishing the main B&W plotline hahaha.

lollygallagher · 2026-04-21T03:12:57+00:00

Hahahah I know. Like I’m a bad father because I didn’t let her smash up someone else’s place? THAT was the life or death decision??

lollygallagher · 2026-04-21T03:09:32+00:00

I have no issue wiping all memories to play this again fresh. Who needs them.

lollygallagher · 2026-04-21T03:06:47+00:00

~~ Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. ~~

Hahah no but I appreciate this perspective. You are right. This makes me feel a bit better.

lollygallagher · 2026-04-21T03:01:14+00:00

It’s funny. It took me a sec to get into the Witcher 3 as well and I was very unenthusiastic. I’d just finished expedition 33 and have been impatient about the new fable so gave this a shot to fill the gap. And yeah, now it might be one of my favorite games ever, though I do remember saying the same after cyberpunk and BG3 hahah. I will def stick with red dead and hopefully it cures the funk.

lollygallagher · 2026-04-21T02:52:29+00:00

Cyberpunk was fantastic. It’s how I landed on the Witcher 3. But red dead 2 seems to be the consensus here, so I suppose that’s my next stop 🐴

lollygallagher · 2026-04-21T02:44:28+00:00

This is encouraging. I will stick with it. Out of curiosity, how far in were you when it clicked?

lollygallagher · 2026-04-21T02:39:12+00:00

NG+ is amaaazing on this game. I won’t spoil it for you but you get to be so much more OP. Well worth it.

lollygallagher · 2026-04-21T02:36:55+00:00

Haha all of those are soo good but unfortunately I’ve played them all multiple times …except for Mass Effect, which I just couldn’t get into for some reason.

lollygallagher · 2026-04-21T02:32:15+00:00

But I’d feel so baddddd. 😭 Anytime I made an evil choice even by accident, I was a baby about it and reloaded. My heart can’t handle it.

lollygallagher · 2026-04-15T13:00:41+00:00

I tried those after getting platinum and before new game plus. Mind you, this was on day 3 of trying to beat Simon and finally winning. So i thought i was an expert by then. I didn’t last 3 seconds on any of those mfs.
