The non-ME3 games recently enjoyed by ME3MPrs

Did you ever play it before? If not, just a word of warning that it starts out pretty slow and I almost stopped playing it on my first playthrough [sooo glad I didn't], but I also had no idea it was an rpg either before buying it so take that as you will. Anyway, if it didn't come with the DLC I'd recommend them they're all good to fantastic and the Gun Runners pack has some really nice weapons in it.

finally got witcher to work, and just did intro + first fight, pretty ugly , and story starts shitty. Surely gets better, but rpgs... god ... :fellsbad

Fed-up with FF7 spin-off (sorry, its a spin-off not a remake), started Assassins Creed Odyssey and it didn't exactly grab me- going to dive back into Civ 6 for at least a game or 2. Probably will get back to AC Odyssey eventually, but I think I may be done with FF7, though it probably will inspire me to try to find my discs for OG FF7 for PC, and fire that up again for the first time in years and years.

ou mean the first Witcher game? Act I serves as a basic setup and introduction to most mechanics, the story begins to develop for real only in Act II. As for fighting, I assume the fight was against barghests so play the group style and dodge the hell out of them until you get some vitality bonuses.

I have a problem with this too, I buy games "for later"... and then never get around to them, because I find something else in the meantime, or decide to jump back into ME3mp, or RDR2, or Xcom, or Civ, or whatever else instead. Currently have Outer Worlds, AC Odyssey, and Xcom 2 War of the Chosen in my queue more or less untouched, but between Civ 6, ME3mp, and NBA 2k I have no idea when I'll get around to any of them. 

I used to make the same mistake that I bought pretty much everything that was on sale, so I hardly ever managed to play it.

I have now got used to the fact that I have now only decided on a certain selection of games and will play them. There are simply too many games for you to just play any of them

still hocked on the witcher, but a bit pissed with bugs and stuff, especially when it kills a romance with a nice looking naked green gal of the elve type

I'm assuming you'll be giving that a go on your PS4, in which case be prepared for the fact that it's buggier than a wet night on Ghost against Collectors on PS3. Seriously. It's even worse, crashing regularly, especially when late into missions featuring 'the lost'. Make sure you have the autosave feature turned on at least.

That said, it's really, really good. I played the vanilla game first (thanks largely to a great review by HamleticTortoise ) and thoroughly enjoyed it, to the extent that I bought the dlc. Despite the crashes, I've played the WotC version 3 times, as it transforms the game, introducing several great innovations. It's highly addictive. I finished it on the second hardest difficulty setting without losing a soldier, leaving only the hardest setting for me to complete.

As for the Assassin's Creed franchise, like most people who have played it, I regard ACII as a genuine classic - easily in my top 10 games. Because of that, I've bought every single AC game since (or received 'free' versions via Gold). I've only paid money when they've been on sale with significant reductions, but I haven't finished any of them. To be completely honest, with the exception of Black Flag, I've only managed to make it a couple of hours into any of them, always assuming I'll come back to them later but never doing so. I think it's some kind of illness - not the 2 hour thing, but buying the feckin things in the first place! 

I'm not sure that you are forced into either one romance or the other, its been a year or two since my last TW3 playthrough but I'm pretty sure you can pick the dialogue option to break it off with Triss (or, rather, not pick the dialogue option to profess your love and continue the romance), and then also tell Yennifer that you don't like her anymore after you defeat the genie that put the two of them under the spell. Maybe I'm misremembering, but I could have sworn that was a possible path.
