Upon last leaving The Witcher 3, Geralt and his crew (and me) had just recovered from an intense battle at Kaer Morhen, one which was brought to an end in an awful and unexpected explosion of magic brought on by none other than Ciri. As terrifying as that was for everyone, it was not enough…
Tag: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Here, There, and Everywhere in The Witcher 3
Considering that my last update on my playthrough of The Witcher 3 was in November of 2020, one might think that I would be done with Geralt’s adventures some four months later. That couldn’t be farther from the case. However, I do think I might be on the verge of completing the game’s main story,…
Resonance: White Orchard
Inasmuch as Fallout 76‘s version of apocalyptic Appalachia has captured my attention, I’m still trickling through The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. My efforts to remain focused on the main story were so strong there for awhile, and yet…the tug of side-questing and monster hunting has simply been too incessantly interesting to pass up. (Needless to…
Listmas 2020: Cary’s Favorite Games Played in 2020
So, this week’s Listmas list is actually called “favorite games of 2020,” but I had to alter it slightly because, well…I’ve not played a single game released this year. (Cyberpunk 2077 is in the wings as of writing, but I doubt I’ll get to it before the clock strikes 2021.) As it turned out for…
Agitated Ambling in The Witcher 3
In my ongoing playthrough of The Witcher 3, the good news is that, since my last post, I’ve managed to make it to Level 19! The even better news is that I f-i-n-a-l-l-y got Geralt’s handsome visage out of rural Velen and into the bustling city of Novigrad, which is proving quite distracting, but in…
Off to a Good Start with The Witcher 3
When I sat down unencumbered and ready to finally and fully enjoy The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt a couple weeks ago, I was…nervous? Yes, nervous. And intimidated. Before me lain no mere game. Rather, it was an RPG masterpiece that had received countless awards, industry-wide acclaim, and praise from game site large and small. And…
The More I See of Cyberpunk 2077, the More I Want to Play The Witcher 3
My history with The Witcher games goes about as deep as a sauce pan. Via Steam, I put a sizeable handful of hours into both the first and second games combined, and both failed to capture my attention. And, according to the Internet, I must have done something wrong, because The Witcher games are, as…
Tossing an Hour to My Witcher
I was one of those who didn’t really pay The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt all that much attention when it first release in 2015. I initially wrote it off as yet another open-world game suffering from the same lack of depth as every other open world game at the time (and arguably since), but my…
Wandering the Endless Expanse
I finally did it. After all kinds of recommendations from friends and seeing that it was getting all manner of praise, I finally picked up and started playing Final Fantasy XV. I hadn’t really been paying a lot of attention to the media surrounding it, so I really didn’t know much about what type of…
Saturday Video Round Up: August 28 – September 3
Welcome to the weekend everyone! We’re into September now and that means the fall rush of games is about to kick off. As such, it’s another busy week for videos and trailers, so let’s get going on the round up, shall we? I can’t decide if Titanfall 2 or Gears of War 4 had bigger…
