Video games are supposed to be fun!!!
Jun. 20th, 2017 07:52 am So, as I've mentioned before, Witcher 3: Blood and Wine is HARD. Even on the 'Story Only' (aka - stupidly easy) difficulty level, it is HARD. Now, there is a reason I've picked the 'Story Only' level - it's because I'm interested in progressing the story, not because I want challenging combat. if I wanted challenging combat, I would have picked a different difficulty level. This game doesn't seem to understand this concept. It took me 4 goes to kill the Big Bad Wolf (who was a boss), and I got killed by a couple of low level vampires in a 'normal' fight. Boss battles should be tougher than normal ones, I grant you - but FOUR attempts?!
And now I'm up against the Big Bad, who changes form part way through the fight. Oh, yes - the dreaded boss-that-changes-form type battle. And this isn't the end of the game, so it's unlikely to be the last time I meet him. I gave up when I died the first time. That is not a battle to tackle when you're tired.
But all these tough fights are REALLY taking away the fun element from the game. Added to which is the fact that I can't go back to my villa and apply my buffs at the moment. And I'm reliant on my weapon and armour repair kits because I can't even visit a bloody blacksmith! it's a good thing I stocked up on those. I am really enjoying the game but I'm not having fun at the moment!
Today, I'm going to give my friend a ring and see if she's up for some company this afternoon. And I'm meeting someone else for coffee this morning. So, at some point, I will be taking on the Big Bad again - just need to remember my Vampire Oil!
