I never completed that one but had explored most of the mainland. I really need to go back and go through it all again. I loved the small details throughout the world. The wilderness and countryside was so well done, with little shrines along the roads here and there and so many lived-in places throughout. I spent 75% of my playtime with Roach set to a slow trot just so I could really absorb the world and feel like I was making a journey on those old roads. There’s something so profoundly Witcher about quietly riding dark paths at night and stopping to hear a monster in the woods. You climb off Roach and draw your silver sword, then make your way into that decrepit forest to deal with whatever is going on out there.
As an American, now living in Canada for the past 20 years, I am really not into the winter area in games I’m currently playing PoE Deadfire Breath of Winter and I want to go back to the beaches and kill stuff :D
I remember when Skyrim came out I was living in a drafty house with no heat in a snowy winter. I was wrapped in like 5 layers sitting at my PC going “Why couldn’t this have been in a desert” lol
Hahaha, I’m talking about an entirely different game. I read PoE and thought you meant Path of Exile. The main mechanic in the end game is running “maps” which are like dungeons with specific environments. Beach being available this league.
You’re lucky if the game has reasonable climate progression like this. Most games the frozen zone is right next to forest zone which is right next to the volcano zone.
I mean, I played all of them as they released, at least from 3 onward. I picked up GTA2 for PS1 from a discount bin way before 3 was even announced which is what had me so hyped for 3 in the first place. Though for 3 I waited until it was on PC as I didn’t have a PS2 then; but by VC I had a PS2 and had SA on pre-order (I still have the bandana bonus from it somewhere).
My recollection of when things happened is fuzzy AF though lol
I was dumbfounded when playing 3. in the game series that was unlike any other I’ve played before in terms of throwing me in the middle of an open world full of action to be experienced any way I want, some dipshit I don’t care about was holding me by the ear dragging me around town to do shit I don’t want to do. I quit playing in an hour.
now every AAA game is like this. thanks, GTA, for ruining games for me.
But really, I place it second after GTAV, but I’m biased. I was born and raised in LA but I was too young to fully get San Andreas references. But V? I live where Franklins from, work where Michael lives, and have relatives where Trevor lives. It’s not satire, it’s a documentary.
