That’s an absolute lie and you know it.

Bruh yennefer is mentioned multiple times. You’re also looking for her. What I’m saying is not wrong. I’m gonna stop responding to you because you seem to clearly have no desire to engage in good faith conversation. I was not being condescending . You’re clearly looking to pick a fight. Goodbye.

Huh? Witcher 2 was primarily focused on Geralt looking for Yennifer. Are you mixing up names?

The books are canon for the games, yes. The games are not canon. Idk what else to say. I played W2 and 3 originally without having read the books. It didn’t seem weird in W3 because W2 was spent looking for her the entire game. And it gave clues about their history. After having read the books W3 makes even more sense since I understood more about the characters. There is nothing unreasonable about how they did that game. The game is totally fine without having read the books. But I am telling you that it makes more sense if you did.

I mean… The game has numerous book references. It expects you to have read then. Half the characters and references are from the books. So not sure why it’s the yen part that specifically bugs you :-)

The whole triss vs yen thing was lazy fanservice added by CDPR. If you read the books, it’s clear Geralt is destined to be with Yen. The books make this abundantly clear. It also makes it crystal clear that Geralt thinks of Triss like a little sister, not romantically. There was absolutely no reason to have that in the book. It’s straight up stupid fanservice and made the game into kind of a meme in my opinion.

Yea what the fuck. This is clickbait as absolute fucking shit. “Gaming journalism” my ass.

Yea that’s exactly what I’m saying. I blame the consumers. It’s not like they don’t have options.

Does anyone defend them? I think what happens is that people get mad at them but then still buy the games anyway because they’re absolute fucking idiots. I believe this is what happens.

Because people are dumb and have no impulse control. Companies exploit that.

Agreed. I blame the consumers more than the companies.

No i didn’t mean walkthroughs.

Yes, exactly.

Yes I completely agree. The best source for game issues I’ve found is technical discord servers and asking people there. However this is not ideal either because:

1. Discord is entshitifying and will probably be dogshit in a few years (they recently announced they wanted to go IPO and we all know what that means.)

2. Discord is not searchable on search engines

3. Search within discord is dogshit

4. You have to ask people and wait for an answer which is not guaranteed.

I probably wouldn’t bank on Lemmy for tech advice. I see the same misinformation posted here as on Reddit for tech.

I’m not even that old and I still prefer reading because you can take screenshots of directions, flip to the correct spot, easily reference stuff, and copy/paste text. You can’t do any of that with video. I will never understand why people prefer video for this stuff.

Oh sweet child…

Nah first game sucks.
