I played a few hours of TW3 and decided I didn't want to make the 80+ hour commitment to finishing it, so I took it back to Gamestop.

You made the right move. Around hour 40 when the princess is in yet another castle you'll want to hit yourself in the head with a hammer.

I respect your opinion, but not StepfordSam's because he has shown incorrect opinions regarding The Witcher in the past

The Americans played ok, none of them got on the sheet. Olle Lycksell got on the board for Sweden. USA won with 1.5 seconds left in OT.

I know I hope the Schenn Special is as enjoyable as the "Philly Special"
- dragonoffrost

Nothing is as special as a trip to the cum coffin but the schenn special is an adequate fill in.
Lots of local massage parlors offer the Philly special in exchange for a very nice tip.

i just can't deal with the actual gameplay. it drives me crazy.

i think modded Skyrim and even Dragon Age are much better games if you're looking for an open world RPG with smooth mechanics.

but meh, overall people should try it for themselves before taking my word as gospel.

Personally, when I play RPGs and story driven games like Uncharted or whatever, I don't mind clunky gameplay. I love the Witcher's story and immersiveness and I weigh that much more than how the combat isn't very satisfying (although again when you get some of those nice abilities...). I really got sucked into that game's story and starting caring a lot for a few of those characters and remember REALLY thinking about choices and how they'd effect others in the game and what ramifications they could have, rather than just doing the "right thing" or trying to a bad/good guy.

That being said, a game like God of War is the fusion of amazing gameplay and great story, though I still like the characters in the Witcher more. If you're going to continue to play I really would recommend the DLCs, they're borderline better than the main game's storyline tbh

i respect all of this.

though while i LOVE good lore, when it comes to a game that i'm going to sink hours upon hours of time into it has to feel rewarding. i've recently been sucked back into Destiny but it's still a mess so i'll probably revisit Witcher down the line. anything is better than Fortnite tbh

I'm salty about Fortnite too but tbh being terrible at it isn't helping any matters

Admittedly it is fun to watch good players play that game

I liked Skyrim but it was a soulless experience. Original Dragon Age is good but they don’t make games like that anymore.

Too much open world that is littered with icons on a map. The latest Zelda game got it just right. Organic open world.

Overall most games are sub par. Nier Automata was excellent and the first party games for Switch are great. Haven’t tried God of War yet but it’s on my list.

Anyone know why Frost isn’t playing for Canada tonight? They mentioned something about “Canada’s injuries”, but haven’t seen anything regarding that.

it may be because they play tomorrow, or because he took three penalties in the last game.

Im only speculating.

Farabee should have had an assist on the first goal...He played very well today. Forced a lot of turnovers, played a lot with Jack Hughes. He seems to remind me as a good as a complementary player on a top6 line, but maybe because he was playing with Hughes.

Cates looks pretty good, too. Strong on the puck, had a few scoring chances, not A quality ones, but decent work. He got more ice time than O'brien.

Obrien was ok, imo. Looked very good at times, almost invisible others. I read that a lot were impressed, to me he was just okay. More consistency in his game would have been nice to see, but I can imagine this is all new to him hes making a lot of adjustments. Looking forward to his development path.

Lycksell showed some smooth skating and a nice flick pass on his assist. Pretty fluid skater in general. Had a good game.

Ginning was ok. Hes very long, 6'4", but seems much taller. Jack Hughes exposed him once, but went okay. Lack of puck skills stick out.

Berggren, Quinn /Jack Hughes were sick.
