I’m sorry for the huge gaps between videos. It’s really frustrating me, too, but I honestly don’t know what it is I’m doing wrong or where I can speed things up without cutting corners.
I keep picking topics that really interest me, and I try (not saying I always succeed) to make the best video I possibly can with zero padding. I don’t even know if it shows in the final product, but I keep working and reworking things until I feel like there isn’t a second of my audience’s time wasted.
Anyway, on a positive note I’m super happy to finally have this video out! Onto the next 👀
thronebreaker is really so underappreciated, making any choice that resulted in "you chose one evil in favour of another" had me howling, bawling, and crying on the floor but I loved every second of it. i also played it in the polish dub, which was a great experience ngl
This comment section makes me so happy. Thronebreaker is such a gorgeous, underappreciated game by the general Witcher community. ❤
Damn I liked Gwent in Witcher 3 (after a while) and really didn't liked standalone.
I liked Thronebreaker a lot and even liked the Gwent quite a bit. Too bad it didn't do well 🙁
Thronebreaker sold just 10%: 13:47
Thronebreaker sold 3 copies: 14:36
Thronebreaker sold 2 copies: 17:14
Thronebreaker sold 1 copy: 17:56
😂
TL/DR: CDPR sucks and has no qualms shamelessly milking Sapkowski's works for all their worth, and doing it very poorly 90% of the time. Capitalism, babayy
I'll miss gwent. It's such a good card game to play on mobile, no pay2win, mostly skill. I recommend everyone give it a try while you still can
CDPR should have made standalone Gwent into a silly singleplayer game where Geralt and friends play some gwent after the ending of Witcher 3.
So basically Poker night at the inventory. But with gwent.
I know people will disagree with me, but I do not care. I know the gwent had issues, but still I consider that the best and most fair CCG ever. Despite that I knew it won't succeed sadly :/
I actually refunded Thronebreaker because I expected a standalone Gwent game from The Witcher 3 with some basic story framed around the gameplay. Sadly, two hours was enough to figure out that it wasn't what I expected from a gameplay perspective, but not enough to figure out that the story itself might actually be the main reason to stick with it. Now that I listened to you talk about this game, I actually wanna go back and try it again. Too bad that it will be too little too late…
I bought thronebreaker week ago 20hrs so far and im going for second playthrough. I cried, i cried so hard.
I loved thronebreaker, i like card games so i basically played gwent before thronebreaker, and i loved it but i never replayed since 2018, what i can say is that the gwent gameplay gets a bit old to the end of the game, its a game better played every now and again to not get bored
Love your Videos, and you are absolutely right, I really do need that Megadeth Displate. They don't happen to come with the Don't Break The Oath or Leprosy vinyl, right?
I enjoyed Thronebreaker, including the combat. My only issue was it didn't have any replay value. Sure, there was a lot of diverging story choices, but the combat didn't have any variety. You had one deck design, thats it. Still, worth it for just the one playthrough. Soundtrack is fantastic, too.
I can't really fault them for the thronebreaker marketing, if you recall, Gwent inside W3 was extremely popular, everyone loved it, I really don't get why these people didn't want to play a standalone gwent with a story, because I did buy it at launch precisely because of it.
buys Thronebreaker for 6$ due to 75% sale
Wow, I never knew these existed. I thought that Gwent and that telltale game were the only spin offs
What would be cool is an easy Gwent PvP mobile card game like Marvel Snap. Simpler than Hearthstone, more complicated than Snap. There is a ton of players on both, so make a nice medium.
I was really hoping that they would just take Gwent from the Witcher 3, exactly like Witcher 3, and make it a standalone, single player game. It would be a fantastic mobile game, even. Change as little as possible. Don't even change the artwork. The "low effort approach" is what many people wanted. I mean, you could have had complicated multiplayer Ultra-Gwent as well, but why not give us Witcher 3 Gwent too?
Thronebreaker is so good, it beats the online version of Gwent twice over. Its such a shame we never got any sequals.
Are you genuinely… ok?
The problem with Gwent to me was that it was a standalone card game. And I (and i think a lot of witcher players aswell) dont care much about a card game other than as a minigame inside their big RPG. So even if Gwent was like the Gwent inside Witcher 3, I would not have continuesly booted up a separate .exe just to play a card game. I think the standalone gwent was better than the Witcher3 Gwent but they needed to get the Hearthstone Audience and the MTG Audience to play Gwent and not the Witcher Audience. (Now obviously there is gonna be some overlap but not as much as the Devs were expecting i think)
And i dont know if Gwent was good enough to compete with established Card Games.
About Theonebreaker: i saw it when it came out and i was interested but I was always waiting for a sale to pick it up for like 5 Bucks and now i still havent gotten to it because there was always more interesting things to play
Thronebreaker has great battle mechanics, you need to think about your deck, and event battles (where u use a prebuild by game deck) are awesome, because there is a riddle that you need to solve, it's super interesting if you like card games.
I didn't know most of these games even existed.
Absolutely agree on the holy trinity.
I loved my ~20 hours of Rogue Mage, but yes, it is very weird
Crimson Trail really looks like God of War: Betrayal, anothe mobile spinoff from 2007.
No need to rush the work. This is well done and I am glad to have found this channel. Subbed!
I Love Thronebreaker and Gwent. I regularily finished high on the Gwent ladder. Sadly, it is not getting the love it deserves (esp. Thronebreaker). I woudnt play Thronebreaker though or even recommend it if you don't like gwent.
no way in hell i'm skipping a single gwent game in thronebreaker, i've spent way too much time doing gwent in the witcher.
Man, I was so ready to scoff and laugh at all the failed spin-offs that just didn't meet the quality that the Witcher IP is known for, but then you got to Thronebreaker and I forgot that was also a "failed" project, and made myself soooo sad thinking we were THIS close to a Thronebreaker-esk Iorveth game……. D:
Oh hey, glad to hear that there are two more people out there who bought a copy, 'cause for sure i bought a copy and 100% the game! Yay us!
really enjoy your video's! thanks
I liked the free to play GWENT and played it alot but the Thronebreaker GWENT was a bad decision really.
The Witcher shows well how fucked up the gaming/entertainment industry has become with all the empty suit games and show that released
Thronebreaker was excellent. Seriously. It had an amazing story, tons of choices, surprises, fun gameplay and strategy. I absolutely love everything about the game. Its a masterpiece. I remember i couldnt get off the game for straight 24 hours. If you like card games or witcher story, u definitely should check that game out. I wish they made more witcher tale games..
Oof 9 times on crimson trail. Props for doing it to capture the different choice outcomes and endings.
I never tried Thronebreaker, mostly because the story is told to you in text form, it's the same reason why I don't find Nintendo games all that appealing. When I play a game I want a story to be told to me, I don't want to be the narrator, I love reading books but there's a weird limbo when it comes to games that have a lot of text in them where they are neither? I may not be the majority here but I would've jumped on it day 1 if it was narrated like the Witcher 3.
I bought Thronebreaker and loved it. Shame the series was cancelled.
I'd play Witcher versus. I enjoyed that game…
They were really convinced Gwent was gonna become this huge juggernaut like Hearthstone, lol
I literally finished a plague tail today! Can’t wait to see your video on it ! And hope you share a link to a trauma support group for that ending 😢 haha
I knew thronebreaker and gwent were a thing, but other than that i didnt even know there were spinoffs
