I just still can't imagine it being a big seller...I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that I game in my front room whilst I chat to my partner etc and therefore this would be very strange.
I'm still not sure VR in this form has big commercial purpose. I'd prefer the idea of arcades/gaming centres being set up with these things. I'm sure some will love this but I can't see many with families taking this on.
@Gemuarto Yeah I'm about 2 hours from the end now and it feels a little too easy but earlier on I had some difficulty...I always find one and one so much easier than for example a pack of bloody drowners! On my second playthrough I'm going to try and create a video for each monster
I have heard it's not that hard compared to other games...I suppose I'll get a real test when I eventually get Bloodborne or Dark Souls!
@Gemuarto Thanks, although I've stated I wasn't sure what attacks he was doing as it's the first time I faced him. Second time was fine. I very rarely use X but was trying to figure out his move pattern. Playing on Death March so I assume my skills are perfectly acceptable usually
@BertoFlyingFox haha I've only been gaming since December really so certainly room for improvement, I am usually better than this video shows...but then I would say that!
I love slaying monsters, so when I heard about this I went straight to White Orchard and got to work!
@benrawr I've never understood it either, NEVER have I not had enough money. I've only got about 17,000 and I'm in act 2 now and still haven't felt the need to really spend it.
I've never bought armour or weapons and instead opted to craft as it's so much cheaper.
I love the cow boss! Made a little video the first time I tried to fight it...if anyone does watch, I apologise in advance at how poor my skills are. I was under levelled and wasn't sure what tactic to take with it!
@Vorlon @A1RB4G I have mine set as my Primary console and when someone else logs into their PS4 as me (my brother, my friends)..it logs me out and tells me I'm logged in using another PS4.
So I personally don't think 2 PS4s can be logged in using the same PSN account. However, anyone can log into your Primary PS4 and play the games you've downloaded on their account whilst you use the other one.
@B3ND3R It's certainly more realistic, but just not that accessible to those who don't want to google how to get it. I've heard people suggest that you get a delivery from Kaer Morhen that you pick up from someone.
@BAMozzy I wouldn't trust the in game timer as it's been known to be incorrect, tells me I've played for 125 hours but it's more like 50 or 60. I'm level 21. To change Yen outfit, on the initial options menu, go to DLC and you can change the setting in there.
I do agree that the DLC hasn't been implemented that well and it's very easily missed. I do wonder whether it will all be level static armour DLC that may render it useless for certain people.
Fortunately for me, the game is so damn good without DLC that it doesn't bother me Happy monster slaying.
@Splat Yeah I've noticed the play timer is wrong, mine keeps jumping around and currently says 5 days and 8 hours. Unfortunately, I've not actually had that much time...it's probably more like 50.
I'm level 20 and am being pretty thorough. I want to do pretty much every side quest, contract etc before I finish. I've also recently discovered how much I enjoy Gwent so now got another 10 hours of enjoyment from that I think.
@icarusdreams as with all my trophies, I try and obtain them correctly and I shall do with this. Not to say from time to time I don't obtain some using a work-around.
This game is really fun so I'd be surprised if it didn't drop naturally at some point The thing I loved about the game so much, was how no matter the score or how I played, I still enjoyed it. Great game to play with my friends
@ztpayne7 I've used it quite a lot. Without Fibre Optic it doesn't really work though. I have an upload of about 5mbs when tested on the PS4 so it works for me. So far, I've mostly used it to show other people games I have. They have all said that the quality there end is as good as if it were being played locally. I've SharePlayed...The Witcher, Trine 2, Diablo, Infamous and Flower.
@alphadrago5 Looks like I've misunderstood this then, I thought it aloud you let you pick any race and join any faction, therefore allowing you to play with friends of other races.
I still don't think the game is for me if you can't play with those not in the same faction. I'll probably wait to hear on reviews etc.
@thedevilsjester I personally wouldn't want you to miss out on The Witcher 3 as you haven't played the others, they have said they won't be doing a remake of the first two.
I've read the books and watched the "Witcher Films" (cutscenes etc from first 2 games) and I feel like I've got quite a solid understanding of the lore and characters.
Can see why they've done it, most fantasy fans will be playing The Witcher at the moment with no real incentive to go out and buy ESO just yet.
I do however think that they've added a pre-order bonus that impacts on those who don't pre-order it too much. I'm happy for them to add a little extra content but to add something that affects you entire experience...NO!
@SethRollins The font size is menus isn't changed at all, but when I am looting stuff I can see that the entire pop up window is larger and easier to read.
@kyleforrester87 Totally agree. I've put over 30 hours in and it's one of the best games I've played...but the performance of it isn't as good as it should be. Fortunately, the actual game is solid and no game breaking bugs for me so far. Hopefully all the cosmetic annoyances will be patched pretty soon...and the loading screen times reduced.
@rykkchii Yeah I do see your point, maybe they will improve on the saving system. Although it could have been a choice to make the game seem more difficult.
I actually started playing Skyrim the other day, and I went to save after about 5 hours of playing to notice that I couldn't...and I lost 5 hours of my time. So pre-patch Skyrim was not so good lol
@Scollurio You make some great, well constructed points which is pleasure to see as it's quite rare on gaming websites.
After putting over 200 hours into the game I also grew tired of it. I do however follow all the news about it in the hope that one day I will want to pick up the game and play it again and when I do, I want to know what awaits for me
@blah01 Considering a decent amount of "AAA" games have game breaking bugs...I don't think we can expect Sony to not allow an Indie game because it has screen tear and a few animation issues. There seems to still be a few people enjoying the game and maybe they can learn for their next one.
@BetweenTheTrees I feel your pain on the Diablo one, such an easy platinum but it just takes forever. After doing all the other trophies, I had only done about 250 so spent every night for a week doing them until I finally did it
Not sure why anyone is personally bothered whether Sony have a first party title out at Christmas.
I choose my games based on whether they look good, not based on whether it's an exclusive. I've never played Ratchet and Clank before so will be looking forward to the game when it comes out
@get2sammyb I certainly understand where you are coming from there is a definite feeling that game companies are just trying the best they can to milk the consumer and can see that this is another potential example of that.
As with all games, I'll be holding out until more details are released.
I think I'm one of the fortunate gamers as I didn't game at all during PS3 generation and therefore the franchise isn't worn out to me. I've never actually played an Assassins Creed game so may start with this one.

Re: For Your Own Safety, Don't Try to Slaughter Cows for Cash in The Witcher 3 on PS4
@ShogunRok Not at all! I should have recorded it the second time it came really once I'd figured out it's move pattern! But yes, feel free
Re: For Your Own Safety, Don't Try to Slaughter Cows for Cash in The Witcher 3 on PS4
I've seen pictures where this is level 105 but they've only been level 27 for me. I personally didn't use the exploit but wanted to fight this guy.
When you kill him, another spawns instantly so if you are a high level you could technically just keep killing this and getting 100 orens per kills
Re: For Your Own Safety, Don't Try to Slaughter Cows for Cash in The Witcher 3 on PS4

Re: Guide: How to Make Easy Money in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on PS4 Post Patch 1.04
@xMEADx If it was online multiplayer it would be annoying but if someone wants to "cheat" on a single player game then I'm not too fussed personally.
I've never had the need to, I've got enough money without exploits.
Re: Guide: How to Make Easy Money in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on PS4 Post Patch 1.04
Easy way to make money: Play the game as per usual and end up with more money than needed anyway
Re: Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection's PS4 Dynamic Theme Is a Real Treasure

Re: This Week's Free Witcher 3 DLC Has Been Detailed

Re: This Week's Free Witcher 3 DLC Has Been Detailed
@BAMozzy Wish I had one of those things so I knew how long I'd be playing for.
Totally agree with you about how it could be gifted.
Also agree that a Witcher having a house/storage doesn't fit into the lore that well.

Re: Top the PS4 Rocket League to Earn a Platinum Trophy

Re: Top the PS4 Rocket League to Earn a Platinum Trophy
I played the Beta and all the feedback from it was how FUN this game is...and that was only with one game mode.
I can't wait until it's released and I believe they've already indicated it will be around the £20 mark.
Not saying I would...but if you can earn that trophy in private online matches it would be easy to boost with friends.
Re: Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition Brings Disastrous Puns to PS4
@Ryno Certainly not, there hasn't really been enough sole PS4 games yet.

Re: Guide: Which Skills Should You Pick in The Witcher 3 on PS4?

I actually think the save system is better than most games as they don't normally have a manual save option.
Re: Guide: Which Skills Should You Pick in The Witcher 3 on PS4?
Great article to explain what they all mean...but personally I'll just tailor what I want to my play style.
Loving the game and other than a bit of FPS drops I have no complaints whatsoever.

Re: Review: Toren (PlayStation 4)
Well...I gave the game another ago and once I had gotten past the screen tear, this is actually quite a wonderful game that has had me very engaged.
If you think you can see past the issues, I would recommend giving it a go but I wouldn't be rushing out to buy it.
