I bought all of The Witcher 3 with all of the DLC for $10usd last steam sale. I have never played it, and they just released an HD update for free.

Dude. I totally scored. It is indeed good to be patient lol

Proceeds to continue to never play it.

steam has publicly spoke about their whale customers who buy games and proceed to literally never evne play them just because they feel like they're getting a good deal

I misremembered, my bad. it was never a quote from steam, i thought it was but i cannot find anything on it.

i likely remembered some sort of analyst article like this

I will however say that gaben has spoken about sales being a form of 'entertainment' outside of games. this kind of is adjacent, tbh

Are you unable to use Google?

I couldn't find anything. Also OP responded. You can see his comment.

I probably don't count as a whale as I've only got 2300 games but I've only played like 100 of them. Gotta min-max those sale prices.

You all just out here doing digital extreme couponing and hoarding, lol.

Idk maybe there is something wrong with me but I just can't get into the witcher games. I tried 2 and 3 several times they just are kinda boring to me. What's crazy is I love the world and the lore.

[u/the_zerg_rusher → u/-Clarity-]

I think I have over a dozen hours in witchers tutorials cuz I can't bring myself to finish them, then I take a break, then I remember nothing so gotta restart.

maybe I'll just read the books.

[u/Lyramion → u/-Clarity-]

In such big game as Witcher 3 and Skyrim I put on my blinders and follow the mainpath religiously. Because I know getting sidetracked will destroy me at some point and if I take a break I'll never get back into it.

I am still the only person in my friend groups that ever "finished" Skyrim.

For stuff like Cyberpunk I enjoyed the city so much that I cleaned out the map. I only wish the decisions you were able to make were even remotely on Witchers level.

I'm finishing Doom Dark Ages first, which I also got the whole thing for $30 lol

If anyone is hesitating on this game…you need to play this asap as it’s excellent as many have stated time and time again.

However, do yourself a favor and save right before you play the GWENT tournament as I’m not kidding when I say this is one of the most addictive and fun side games I’ve ever played.

I’d pay $80+ for a standalone game, it’s that good. (And no, the mobile version they created is not the same at all).

For anyone reading this. Keep in mind that's the case if you put story above gameplay. Witcher 3 gameplay is nothing to write about. It's there and it's a tool for the story.

Gameplay is serviceable and once you get the hang of it quit enjoyable in my opinion.

I say this after legit quitting a few hours in and my brother talking me into playing it again years later.

The story and GWENT alone is worth the price tag and flaws
