Enrico_sw Posted October 28, 2023 Author Share Posted October 28, 2023 I still think it's the best game of 2020 and it should've been GOTY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cult Icon Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 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.

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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrico_sw Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cult Icon Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brothel scenes with Monica are very sexy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And great to hear Doug Couckle (the real Geralt voice!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Cult Icon Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Enrico_sw Posted November 29, 2023 Author Share Posted November 29, 2023 ^ 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
