I feel like I'm the only person who hated gwent. I played what was required of the main story and then never touched it again.
I enjoyed it on my first playthrough, but it got really old on my second.
It's pretty simple, and your ability to play other decks is locked behind progression, leaving you largely to play Northern Realms and Nilfgard spy decks for a large portion of the game.
I love the standalone Gwent game (which I played first), but hated the more primitive version they used in The Witcher 3. Never touched it beyond what they required.
You're not alone. I just really don't care for CCGs.
I just got that mod that lets you insta-win as soon as you play, for the plot point games.
I felt the same way - never been a fan of card collecting games in general. Then I went for the Gwent achievements and I started understanding the strategies more… it got to the point where I would boot up Witcher 3 just to play Gwent lol I tried the standalone version but it doesn’t hit the same.
But don’t even get me started on the visceral hatred I have for Caravan in F:NV
I swear, Caravan was created by like this one guy at Obsidian who was locked in a broom closet with a bunch of mismatched playing cards and when someone finally went to get the mop bucket one day found him in their, crazed and dehydrated, and he'd created Caravan.
Maybe we shouldn't call people "lame-ass wannabees" just because they play a game differently? Like, I understand it's just a meme, but people should be able to play any game however they please, y'know?
