November 3, 20231 yr I finished reading book 8 Season of Storms again. It was published 14 years (2013) after the end of the sage (1999) and before the development of the Witcher 3. Chronologically it is weird in that the events are considered to take place after book 2 and before book 3. The book was clearly heavily used as inspiration for W3, eg. Cat school Witcher, various side quests in W3, Yennefer's references to Coral, and stuff from the Hearts of Stone expansion. The Geralt in this book is more self-assured than the one in the 1990s era books, he seems a bit different. The overall feel of this book is different, it feels like the gameplay loop for the Witcher 3. Geralt goes on a journey and stumbles upon quest after quest.
November 6, 20231 yr @Enrico_sw Did you know that Bloodborne's hunter design is very similar to Brotherhood of the wolf? Brotherhood of the Wolf - Wikipedia

Brotherhood of the Wolf - Wikipedia Oh I didn't know! I love this movie, really great French movie. Monica Bellucci looked great. Le Bihan/Dacascos did a great job in building the atmosphere. Did you watch the movie?
November 9, 20231 yr Author This James-Bond like intro (mixed with the cyberpunk atmosphere) is great. CD Projekt messed up with the initial marketing of C2077, but they are still way better than a lot of AAA gaming companies.
November 13, 20231 yr New Witcher anime movie with Doug Cockle as Geralt!!!! I think this is based on a short story in book 2 Sword of Destiny. It seems to be an expanded version of what happened in the story "A little Sacrifice". @SympathysSilhouette @Enrico_sw

The brothel scenes with Monica are very sexy!

November 14, 20231 yr Hell let loose seems to have replaced Red Orchestra 2 as the gold standard in WW2 FPS multiplayer MG34 hipfire was one my favorite modes in RO2.
November 14, 20231 yr WW1 multiplayer. I like how all these recent games use the same engine as RO2. It's simply the best one for ww2 fps gaming

And great to hear Doug Couckle (the real Geralt voice!)

And great to hear Doug Couckle (the real Geralt voice!) The trailer looks accurate to the short story in the book. I suspect it will be a big fan-fiction component to it though. Essi Daven was the book character that influenced a bit the creation of "Priscilla" in the Witcher 3. I am very glad to hear Doug coming back. There is a Witcher 1 remake in development.
November 17, 20231 yr This 2-D game is so similar to Bloodborne that it could take place in the same universe. I think a lot of people buying/playing this because they miss bloodborne.

All these games use a similar engine, basically they are the best WW2 multiplayer FPS games out there. This is the first game I've ever seen use France 1940 weapons and equipment. In the trailer the German Panzer III has the markings of the 10th Panzer Division, which was charging towards Dunkirk. This could be inspired by the battle of Stonne.

November 29, 20231 yr Author ^ one of my favorite games (before Bethesda butchered it). I'm very cautious with Hollywood though... I don't trust them any more, they're just a mediocre political machine.
