Good trailer. Although, MoS also had a good trailer and it ended up sucking. I'm also getting the feeling that there's way too many characters in this movie, and that's going to be one major criticism.

Yeah, the amount of shit I picked up started to bug me. Until I got saddlebags large enough to never worry, anyway.

Second Witcher video is up. It's a bit longer, but I feel he did a good job once again:

Gwent is odd, I never really warmed to it. Whenever I played it, I always seemed to win with ease, despite not having made a special deck outside of cards I just picked up along the way. It's the kind of thing that could use a multiplayer feature because of that.

The only quests I have left to do are Gwent quests and bugged hand ins. Also a few ? marks left on the map. I've no doubt missed a few minor quests as well, so I'll probably go looking for them. The game really is huge, I have no idea how they managed so much content on top of such a good looking game in a traditional 3 year development cycle.

Finally finished the Witcher 3 at 72 hours. Unknowingly stumbled into the 'best' ending, so be aware that various decisions throughout all 3 acts (but mostly those regarding Ciri) can strongly influence how the end turns out. Completed every side quest I could, in addition to all contracts. Ignored Gwent completely.

The game was pretty stellar, with the only bad stuff being control of Geralt (including horse racing), and a weird difficulty curve. Previous games allowed pretty fluid control of Geralt, whereas they decided to make it clunky as fuck here which resulted in me falling off of various things throughout the game (sometimes to my death).

Towards the end of the game, major bosses became extremely easy to kill. In fact, everything on blood and bones (or whatever is 1 step below deathmarch) just kind of fell over once I put together the Wolven armour set and built the talents around it in a combat/signs style. Contrast this to earlier on, where some fights (especially those with multiple enemies) are extremely hard. Overpowered talents like Whirl and alt-Quen trivialize much of the later fights, and doing every quest/place of power makes you stronger than just about anything in the late game.

Overall, don't think I've played an RPG quite as good as W3. As noted previously in this thread, it didn't really buck conventions, but nearly everything it does is done extremely well. The story was also pretty solid, which is more than could be said for W2.

I still think Yen makes a better canonical love interest, now that she's been fleshed out in W3.

Rooster, how does the lore regarding the Wild Hunt work? Are they just a bunch of alien elves that teleport around the place? Do they bear any relation to the elves in the Witcher? None of their backstory is really explained well.

I don't remember any fights like that.

You or your parents arrived via the Australian points system - a system envied the world over. In other words the same system you earlier derided, assessed that you would not be a drain on the economy. You aren't a refugee who arrived on a boat and was allowed to stay by political pressure from bleeding-heart liberals and economically illiterate students who believe we should all be holding hands and singing kumbayah.

Is it really this difficult to educate yourself on a topic before you ejaculate all over the thread? The policy of detaining refugees indefinitely is entirely distinct from Australia's points system. Moreover, when I arrived in Australia, the offshore detention facilities had not yet been established.

All of this is irrelevant to your claim that immigrants "vampire" a country's economy. Would you care to back that up, or have you reneged?

I suppose you could say they 'vampire' a country's economy in the first few years while they're receiving social welfare and other support, but looking at their life as a whole (assuming many years of taxpaying) they would more than earn their place.

What's ironic is that it probably costs significantly more to work the RAN/RAAF harder with Sovereign Borders and pay private companies to keep them in detention indefinitely.

All those white people that came to Australia in the first fleet really ruined the country.

Witcher 3 is just great. 22 hours in and still not out of Velen. There's so much stuff to do, and while some of it is similar, it's varied enough with contracts and side quests to never get old.

People have suggested changing your DNS in order to get around the filter, but the government are yet to determine how it will be done. It will suck to lose iiNet's unmetered bonuses if I switch to, say, Google's DNS servers.

George Weidman just put up his first video of the Witcher re-play review. I feel he describes the first game pretty well, despite his love for it.



Also, took you a while Saddam ;) I got 1 and 2 done over a weekend. Granted, I rushed.

We need to throw out that Act forthwith. We need to remove all illegal immigrants immediately. All Muslims need to be removed from the United States forthwith. Anybody that's already here legally can't be removed, of course. Australia should return to the White Australia policy forthwith, although its own Indigenous People should be treated with respect and dignity.

How do you transition from "immigrants are bad" to "all brown people are bad"? There is effectively zero support for a white Australia policy among any political group that holds sway.

I've got nothing against detention of illegal type immigrants. In fact, my approach at the Mexican border would be to militarise it, and shoot every illegal adult attempting to cross. But to abuse children is unconscionable, even someone with extreme views like me agrees with that. Children cannot be blamed for the actions of idiot parents. And they should not be abused by others whilst in detention. That part is NOT fucking cool at all. 

I'm hardly surprised by your position on this, but seeking refuge is not illegal. Australia has an obligation to grant asylum to these people if their situation warrants it. The only reason such a simple thing has become a huge shit show is due to the intense politicization of the issue on behalf of both major political parties, the media, and the intense lack of critical thinking on behalf of the populace.

They'll probably be large enough for the 2 or 3 tie fighters on the map to shoot each other, but not much larger. Certainly no where near as huge as the space battles were.

Apparently there's been a beheading and a bombing at a French factory, with muslim extremists to blame. Things are still developing, but that hasn't stopped the anti-immigration debate from immediately flaring up on social media. Thoughts?

But why?  Battlefront doesn't have a lot in common with Battlefield.

Going from DICE developing it under EA, from what they've said about the maps and features, and what was shown in the trailer, I think it's going to be a reskinned modern Battlefield game. That is, small maps and small engagements; I wouldn't be surprised if the most played maps were clusterfuck explosive shit fights in Hoth corridors. Maybe throw in some Star Wars flavour in the form of snowspeeders doing loops around AT-ATs to kill them.

Some of the citadel bits looked extremely fake, but you had to look closely and the shots never lingered on them.
