Thwomp

Because Novigrad is like a maze, and if I don't use the white dots I inevitably end up on the wrong side of a wall from my destination.

I wish there was an arrow above your head or something instead of the minimap. I really feel like using the minimap has seriously hindered my enjoyment of the game. I can barely remember Novigrad because I was looking at the white dots the whole time. Something like the bar Bethesda use would've been perfect - not at all intrusive, but still gives you a general idea of what's around you.

I've just had my two best moments in the game Both had me smiling to myself, they were proper heartwarming

I did the palio horse racing quest last night, it's the first time I've been properly annoyed with the game. I couldn't see where I was going, and it was an instant mission fail if you deviated slightly from the correct line. One time it spawned me on the sea bed

Knives Out - 5/5 I thought it was going to be more like an old-fashioned Sherlock Holmes adventure, so I wasn't sure about it at the start. It totally won me over though, great performances by all, and some really funny bits

@Talk Show Host I love the fist fights! I expected them to be terrible, but I find them really fun. The swimming is hot garbage, mind

Shopkeepers saying: You don't sell any of those things!

Yeah, once you've crafted a potion, you never need to craft it again. Every time you sleep they're replenished. So meditation actually has a purpose

The last time I started this I didn't bother with potions. I thought what's the point when you use have to keep brewing them I didn't realise it's a one-time thing. I do find potions and oils to be fiddly to use - the quick menu has been done better in other games. I didn't even know how to use my second slot of consumables for the first 15 hours. Trying to hold the dpad down during the heat of battle is a right pain. The lore and world-building are so deep in this, and I love the feeling of peasant villages being nothing but shit and mud.

What happened to Walkers turkey and stuffing? They were the best.

It is a bit budget, they'd only made two games beforehand.

You can switch enemy upscaling off in options.

I read so many comments saying stay away from performance mode on xbone X, that 4K was the way to go. Well it's definitely not, the responsiveness of performance mode makes the game so much better.

Oblivion, four or five times. I absolutely love anything medieval, so Skyrim is a bit too much in the realm of fantasy for me. Oblivion is perfect.

I'm going to give this another go now that I've finished with Far Cry. I got quite far last time, but I found the game very difficult because I've got the reflexes of a turnip. I've got an Xbone X now though, so I'm looking forward to seeing it in 4K.
