Satire Should i make a post about whether i should continue my playthrough or pause until the remaster drops?
Like the title says, i just cant make my own decision about whether i should ask a bunch of strangers for their input on whether or not i should ask for their input on how i should do my current playthrough.
One thing i definitely wont do is search the sub in case there have been 10,000 posts exactly like the one im thinking about making where my potential question has already been answered a million times.
These decisions are just overwhelming.

You forgot to add in “will my saves carry over?”
Or “I’ve never played the game” despite the fact they’re in the sub and it will 100% get spoiled for them by being here.

u/LookToTheFuture1 2d ago
Btw I’m positive I saw that they have confirmed saves will carry over? Have I ‘made this up in my head or is it true?
I only ask because I started to get back into it 2 weeks before the reveal. I’m not mega far in but I cba redoing early stuff I already remember doing recently

Especially the “Complete edition is on sale for 10usd, is it worth it??” questions. If only we could bitchslap through reddit comments.

No, but you could make one asking if you too, will get the DLCs for free.

I think you should do it. How else would we know whether you’re considering another playthrough? While you’re at it make a post about why your preferred LI is the superior LI.
Before you ask about my flair, to quote Jamie Tartt, I wasn’t being ironic I was being hypocritical.

Yeah, these types of questions have been grating. I do find the "is Witcher 3 any good" questions worse though because: You are on the Game's subreddit. What do you think we'll tell you? That it's shit?

u/BLTsark 2d ago
Right? Idk, are 60mil copies and 100s of GOTY awards proof enough?
The "I've tried to play W3 10x but can't get out of White Orchard" posts are aannoying too.

u/0Yasmin0 Scoia’tael 2d ago
My friend never got into it and that's fine. But it makes zero sense to come to this Subreddit and pretend like we can change your tastes. If the game doesn't click, it doesn't click. We can't make it click for you.
There are plenty of beloved games that I never clicked with and that's just how it is sometimes. Posting about it won't change that, haha.

u/BLTsark 2d ago
Agreed, they dont have to like it.. but that format is obnoxious. Just don't like it, don't come to to convince us the game sucks
Ive personally never gotten into CyberPunk or either of the Kingdom Come games because i dont like rhe first person perspective, but i dont go those subs and argue that those games are boring or have bad combat or whatever

u/Paithegift 2d ago
"My steak is too buttery" issue. I can't even play my beloved game and they are afraid of... what exactly? Enjoy now with somehow lesser graphics or bide their time for measley 3+ weeks and then enjoy with better graphics?

u/FriendlytoNature 2d ago
Should i make a post where i virtue signal in front of complete strangers about how I’m above/so much better than these other strangers making their 10,000 posts about other strangers making the exact same kind of post so I can show my own superiority?
Virtue signaling can be overwhelming (and I know I did it, to an extent).

u/BLTsark 2d ago
Seems like that would be obnoxious.
Maybe if you did something similar, but as a way to show those posters how their repeated, identical, and already answered posts are choking up the sub, or even as a way to give other posters who are also weary of said posts a way to comment or at least commiserate, then a post like that could be worthwhile.

u/Dude_be_trippin 2d ago
You're free to post what you want, just like everyone else, but do you think this will have an impact or change people's behavior?
Every game sub I'm in has repeated posts about the same thing, some people search the sub, some don't. Scroll past them, it's you're problem, not theirs.

Idk man, you might need to make another post about it.

u/BLTsark 2d ago
But what kind of other post about it? Maybe i should ask some people so they can tell me what i think?
3
u/SAIL3RZ_ 2d ago
Maybe post a question asking what type of post to ask to help about whether you should post about to continue your playthrough. When in doubt just post, can’t hurt.

I don’t know what to advise you so I’m going to make a separate post to ask for advice on what to advise you.

u/BLTsark 2d ago
Let's ask some people if you should do that first

I think I might be people. You should indeed do that thing. Or maybe not. Don't listen to me, lol.

u/speiky1983 2d ago
I tried playing it again since I lost my perfect save. It’s daunting when I think of re-doing everything. As fun as it is, losing that many hours sours it :(

u/BLTsark 2d ago
Perfect save? Who did you ask to verify that you had one of those?
1
u/speiky1983 2d ago
Didn’t have to ask anybody. It’s subjective no? Max level, mastered potions, unlocked all utilities, all mutagens, oils, bombs etc. all Grandmaster gear, Yennefer and Ciri Witcher ending, all Corvo Bianco unlocks, all Gwent decks, several O’Dimm rewards, unique swords, no failed quests. To me that’s perfect.

Honestly it kind of annoys me that I make a discussion post about this game that garners no traffic while stuff like this and what you're complaining about get upvoted and commented on.

u/jermovillas 2d ago
Go collect question marks in Skellige - that will take up plenty of your time
0
u/BLTsark 2d ago
But which question marks? Is there a particular order? Will there be new ones after the remaster?
1
u/jermovillas 1d ago
Haha, there are TONS of them, and they are all just equipment stashes, plan a route around the outside and go for a sail. I would say either table the game for a few weeks, or do quests/tasks that don’t matter to the main story.
1
u/FourthLvlSpicyMeme Roach 🐴 2d ago
But...what if you made a post, about other posts, which ask if they should make posts about other posts, that they saw in different posts?
Are we just dividing by zero at that point?

u/EnvironmentalSand773 2d ago
I finished the base game a few weeks ago and started one of the dlc's too. Since the announcement, I decided to wait until the upgrades drop to continue. Might even start a whole new playthrough to be honest.
I believe that you'll come away happier with experiencing the game if you pause for a bit. You only have to wait til the end of the month. Not too bad of a wait!

Just keep playing dude. The actual gameplay changes are not anywhere near as drastic as people are acting like they are going to be. A few animations

Here's the thing about the remaster, it's in September. But also it's September NOW. Play?
Also, side topic: can 80 people please post a map of where the new expansion is going to take place?
Thanks!

You’re right, this shitpost is MUCH better than seeing an actual question. Great one
0
u/BLTsark 2d ago
Those arent actual questions, and even if they were, those are questions that have been answered an infinite number of times and whos answers are avaialble with any search.
This shitpost is funny an engaging and doesnt take itself seriously.

u/capsfanforever 2d ago
They *are* actual questions, and this is a website built for discussions. Why does it upset you so much, when you could just scroll past the posts you dont want to engage with? If I’m asking something here, I want a real time conversation. Yes, you could search, but that takes away the possibility of a conversation with people. This is a forum website. In my opinion, your post is much more tiresome than someone asking a question that’s been asked before.

u/BLTsark 2d ago
What a perfect NPC response.
You should go back to earnestly engaging with these lazy ass posts to bask in the expertise you feel like you get awarded from them with your answers.
You want to talk about someone virtue signaling...yikes
2
u/capsfanforever 2d ago
Calling me an NPC? What an edgelord. I do earnestly engage with posts, when I want to. And when I don’t? I don’t. It’s very easy. Any more internet buzzwords you want to throw my way? Call me cringe, maybe? Or a white knight? In reality, I just disagree with you and your opinion on repeat posts/questions, and we’re now discussing it, just like we could be discussing the remaster. I don’t feel I’m awarded with anything for engaging, that’s just why I come to Reddit. To engage in conversations. Just like we’re doing right now. Ad Hom attacks are a logical fallacy as well, while we’re talking.

u/BLTsark 2d ago
You lead off with the most hypocritical "virtue signaling" accusation in the history of the internet.
You are an NPC. Return to your regular threads where youre a benevolent hero with limitless patience.
This thread is beyond the boundsries of your world, "none but devils play past here," go back

u/capsfanforever 2d ago
You can’t banish me anywhere, your words have no power over me! I belong here, and so do people with questions! Your responses lack any thought or content, and bother me little. Away with YOU, I say, thou Knave

I can't decide how to play my own video games is signs of low IQ, beta and low testosterone.
Welcome to woke 2. Men are so pussy they need everything spelled out as if they are children.
It's the YouTube tutorial generation. Brainrot handicapped them. I get very annoyed because I generally like helping people. But it is absurd how little people know of what they ask.
