    witcher 3

    first time playing, i got to the bloody baron and for whatever reason i can’t explain, felt like it wasn’t resonating with me. went back some time later and was hooked enough to finish the main game and all DLCs.

    fucking fantastic game

      similar, though for me it was less that it wasn’t resonating and more that even getting to that point is a decent amount of play time if you’re exploring

      I think I finished the game in three distinct chunks each a year apart - up to the bloody baron, to the final quest, and then literally just the last two or three hours of the final quest because I didn’t realize how close to the end I was. and I had like a 1.5 or 2 year break between chunks 2 and 3 lmao

      For me, it was Witcher 2. The combat system felt very weird and unintuitive, so I barely got past the tutorial before giving up on it. Later decided to pick up the first game, and after that, the Witcher 2 system made so much more sense.

          Me neither. Never encountered a bug. But still waited for a long while to play.
