Boy a lot I don't remember. If you got it with all the DLC then do the Turn and Face the Strange quest from the Blood & Wine DLC as early as possible. It unlocks a skill tree that offers the best powers for Geralt. Other than that, I would just suggest you figure out what kind of Geralt you want and outside of main quests then do the quests to get the guy that is best for your build.

So for example if you are going to a glass cannon damage dealer then you want to do the quests that net you the best light armor in the game. If you going to be a tank then go do the quests that get you the heavy armor. That is of course if you playing on higher difficulties. If you just playing casual and want to just enjoy the story then nothing to really worry about as it is a great story.



A build guide and a walkthrough guide if you ever get stuck or need some ideas on how to build Geralt.
Witcher 3 = get through the first 10-15 levels and then the combat gets a million times either as you upgrade. It’s one of the best RPGs of all time, the story and world is fantastic but the combat is kind of meh. It’s hard at first and then super duper easy to get over powered.

I tend to play most games on the hardest initial setting. Can't remember if Witcher 3 lets you play on Death March or if you have to beat the game on another difficult setting to unlock. In any event, the early game on DM is a *****. After beating it once on DM, I would normally play a new game either with New Game+ which saves your level or by lowering the difficulty in the early game and then putting it on DM once I was appropriately leveled up.

I bought Rocket League because it was 50% off on steam and I have always liked the idea of it since I first learned of its existence. Two days in and it is really fun, short games so you don't have to tie up hours to play. All in all I am enjoying it a bunch.

This is one of those games that it is really easy to learn and play, and I am sure, ridiculously hard to master it.

Gwent is one of my favorite parts of the game. They had a separate Gwent espirts game with rankings and world tournaments. Got ranked in top 10% at one point but dudes were making decebt money playing. I stopped playing seriously because theybkept tweaking card values and got tired of coming up with new strategies.

Thronebreaker is an awesome game, if you like Gwent. Just make sure to put it on the hardest setting.

bargain bin shit..mostly franchised/collection games, i like to run it back and smoke a bag.
just playin' the whole MSG series now... picked up the whole collection and just had beaten peace walker moving onto guns of patriots. by release dates order tho. In between I play GTA V & Injustice 2. I'll probably finish the next two latest released games of the borderlands series and finish the latest game of assassin's creed series off next. games are to much of the same lately..no story.. just dumb shit.

glad i've brought a lot of bargain bin games, i wait to play later in life from gamestop when i go there most times, you'll never know who comes over holidays wise or if a got damn "stay at home" is ordered!!
i'd tell you guys this tho, it's paying off for sure, can't beat gamestop's 3 for 10$ games that you didn't want to pay 60 a pop for in the first place!

I've been trying to get the VALORANT beta drop by watching Twitch streams and have had ZERO luck.

game looks fun though.

Like old school counter strike with some magic mixed in.

I am level 17 right now running a pure alchemy build. I pretty much just drink a **** ton of potions/decoctions and bomb the living **** outta people as did the skill tree that allows me to carry 8 bombs per type.

Will probably add some combat elements once I get to level 30 and start Blood and Wine expansion so I can run Euphoria.

Ok been progressing slowly as there were a ton of quests below my level 17 that I tried to clear. The problem is when you are level 17 trying to clear a level 7 quest, the experience you get from it is pretty much nil unless it is a main quest. So I decided to go search for all open quests on notice boards and then systematically clear them in order of level so only progressed 3 levels to level 20.

I left the main quest at Level 16 (first question in Skellige) as I can still good full experience from them and will restart main quest line once all remaining quests and contracts are at least 3-5 levels above my currently level. That should aid in ensuring I get max experience.

Blood and Wine is probably the best expansion ever

Haven't gotten to it yet in my current playthrough but Regis was probably one of my favorite characters from the books so I really enjoyed it. The new mutagen system for it was great as well will.

If anyone wants to play Journey or the Uncharted series they are all free downloads on PlayStation up until may 5th. Once you download them, they are free forever.

I'm a huge fan of the entire Uncharted series. Uncharted 4 was probably my favorite. I'd guess most have already played these, but if not, definitely jump on it. Fantastic games.
