>>377610092
Its a lot of fun actually. Its not on par with Magic or something obviously. But as far as mini games go, its definitely one of the best mini games ever made.
It gets easy pretty quick though. You can set it to hard, but that only helps a bit.

>>377610329
This means that the cards break immersion.
Here, somebody made mysterious bog goddesses that nobody ever sees into photorealistic cards that depict them in every detail. Also you see the card way before you see the crones in the game, spoiling the mystery and the surprise of the first encounter. Also all these people that Geralt encountered are basically super stars, everybody knows how they look as they also have their personal cards.
>>
>>377610329
Not him, but it bothered me as well. The are cards for a publicly played game of the characters that whose identities are supposed to be unknown to the large public within the Witcher settings. I'm talking about spymasters for example.Or Ciri. Or Avallac'h.
>>
>>377610668
But the crones are supposed to be feared and known, as well as most of the others depicted on the cards.

All I can say is that Gwent is by far the easiest card game to pick up, despite being the most complex and deep.

There will be plenty of singleplayer content in the open beta beyond just facing a standard AI match like in Hearthstone.

Try those out first before thinking about PvP.

>>377613568

Take it slow next week. Tons of SP content like I said above. Gwent gives you a starter deck for all 5 factions off the bat, I'd say start with Monsters.

ceyrs is a hero cards that lets you instantly summon up to 3 shield maidens that you might not even hold in your hand (the hero has a muster ability. the regular shield maidens don't)

each shield maiden has 4 strength. but they have tight bond so 3 of them gives you 3x12str cards

if you have the shield maidens in you hand you can play them. return them to your hand with the leader ability and then summon them again with ceyrs for maximum fuck you

just be careful from scorch and dragons

It's such a rare trait to have in the industry, unfortunately. They don't have a bigger budget or anything of the sort, they simply make better decisions regarding their games since they take user feedback into consideration, as evident by the Enhanced Editions and the patches for W3. W2 felt like their 'fucking around' time where they got caught up in the 'norms' of the industry, making some bad decisions before rectifying them with the Enhanced Edition. I just hope the success of the Witcher series doesn't get to their heads and cause them to fuck up Cyberpunk. Whether they like it or not, it's already gaining bigger hype than any of the Witcher games.

>>377618241
if cyberpunk flops it will probably have more to do with the new setting. they need to build up a new franchise from zero when witcher was established a long time before the amazing game witcher 3 is

Never played Gwent but I heard that the designers based this game on an older card game called Condottiere, so it has to be solid at least.

Here is a link that explains how Condottiere plays.

>>377618394
In all honesty, I don't really care whether or not it becomes a financial success. I just want another great game to play and as long as they took what they learned while making the Witcher series into developing that (which seems to be the case, I hear a lot of good things about the Gwent game that's coming out, a lot of user feedback is taken into account and shit).

I'm at the part in the game where you gotta find Uma btw. Do more quests pop up as you progress the game?

i wasn't talking about financial successes. they just might struggle doing a new setting. they had tons of experience with the witcher they are doing something different now

you passed 1/2 of the main story. you still have tons to do. the main story will progress faster from this point should you pursue it but most content still wasn't explored for sure

also some merchants sell cards. especially bartenders

you will get a new gwent deck in b&w but leave that to the end it's the last part you should play

Sorry, my mistake. You have a point there anon. I hope they take their sweet time writing up the world's lore and getting familiar with the setting. One of the reasons I hate the fags who make a big fuss over the estimated release date of the game. Why the fuck would anyone want them to rush the game out the door instead of taking their time with it?

>tfw I've been in the closed beta for Gwent since February and barely played it at all

It's hard to play a game that's so unfinished for me.
>>
>>377619061
I'm really taking my time with the main story by doing almost all the side quests and hunts. I wont touch the DLC til I beat the story. But on my first playthrough (half the game) I never touched gwent, this time I did, and its fun as fuck.

Do I need to buy all the cards from venders to complete my collection, even decoy/combat horn/weather cards?
>>
>22 minimum card decks
>this means you get almost 50% of your deck since the beginning
>with spy cards you get 2 cards for each
>you can get your entire deck in your hand in 4 turns
At that point it becomes a numbers game, with only field effects being capable of fucking you up (not as long as you keep one dispel card).

It's an extremely barebones game.
>>
>>377619494
i'm not sure if you need to buy a card you already have to finish the collecting all cards quest but just do it anyway they're like 10 crowns each it's practically free

>>377619591
> what is scorch.muster.tight bond.heros,decoys and healers
>>
>>377619821
I forgot about scorch, yeah.
>tight bond
Summon cards instantly, still about numbers.
>heros
Units that are not affected by special effects, still about numbers.
>healers
You mean the units that improve the power of one row? Because that's still about numbers.
>>
>>377619983
Oh and decoys are only worth to use on enemy spies so you can get more cards and get fast to the numbers game.
>>
>>377619983
confirmed for not playing gwent for shit

healers revive dead cards
you also have avenger cards that activate only on the round that follows them

you have cards that can be played on more than one row

you have a commanders horn

heros can have affects besides being immune to weather

you have berserkers if playing as skellige

decoys can be used to take back a dragon or other high value card
>>
>>377620439
I think the anon's point is more that it's easy to break Gwent since the AI doesn't play too well to counter the easy cheese tactic of spies spying on spies so you have a huge hand that can tank through anything the AI throws your way. The side quest Gwent matches do put up a challenge though, which is nice. I also like the Skellige faction, Toussaint as a whole was Gwent heaven.
>>
>>377620439
>healers revive dead cards
Oh you're right that's what Yennefer did iirc.
But it's still about bringing units to the field so that doesn't really change much.
>you also have avenger cards that activate only on the round that follows them
Alright I'll believe you.

>you have cards that can be played on more than one row
Yes, and that's just so you can minimize the effects of any row-negating card and keep their power intact.

>you have a commanders horn
That doubles the power of one row, increasing your total number.

>heros can have affects besides being immune to weather
Yes, and all of those effects are still based around summoning other stuff.

>you have berserkers if playing as skellige
Yes, and they're still just cards that increase their power when put together, still about numbers.

>>377620675
You're right on that, the IA is garbage, but I still think Gwent is a very shallow card game.

>>
>>377620778
i don't understand what you expect a card game to ultimately be about besides bottom line who has a more powerful lineup? gwent has deep strategy in which ultimately the better strategist wins because he has more points what's the problem with that?

if you play your shit well you can win against an enemy that has significantly more cards than you

it's also clear you don't know much about gwent if you struggled to know what a healer is and don't know avengers

>>377621065
also - leader's ability! a very important thing in gwent
>>
>>377620797
>>377620778
I think the standalone Gwent game has a lot more depth to it with newer cards, abilities, heroes, leaders etc. Gwent in W3, as heavily featured as it was, was still essentially a side minigame to take part in. Maybe that's why it deteriorates quickly into being a numbers game. The poor fucking AI doesn't help the situation either. But in the end, Gwent entirely depends on the numbers in determining the winner, so abilities that affect your or the enemy's numbers are pretty much what gives it what little depth it has. It's the point of the game, in other words. Take that as you will.
>>
>>377619591
I agree with all of this.

However the actual standalone Gwent game fixes a lot of this shit. This would be a problem in TW3 if not for the fact that you only play Gwent against NPCs anyways so the fun comes more from abusing numbers than the strategy.
>>
>>377621065
A card game being about who has a more powerful lineup is the antithesis of "strategy".
Card games usually have bigger decks because that means that you have to strategize based on the cards you're currently getting.
In Gwent you get your whole deck in your hand pretty soon, which makes all strategy meaningless, you just build your deck to have a shitton of points and prepare for the -very limited- set of magic effects that can fuck you up (scorches and field cards) and just throw stuff around.

You can't even pass a turn without passing the whole round, because that would be something different than just throwing around cards to outdo each other.

>>377621272
>>377621282
I'm not aware of the changes of the stand-alone gwent game so if they fixed some of that that's great, I'm talking just about the game as it's in W3, I've seen it endlessly praised everywhere and I don't understand why.

It's really good and fleshed out for a mini game.

For a mini game is a the keyword here. It's mediocre or bad as a standalone game.People don't really expect minigames to be that good.

Who said anything about spamming? Dodge has i-frames out of its ass, you don't need to time it to dodge everything.
Sidestep is just a better dodge -doesn't consume stamina and has even more i-frames-, and I don't know why you would even mention parry when is as mindless as it gets.
Riposte is also incredibly easy to use, since all attacks are excessively telegraphed.

>tfw I actually prefer W3 gwent over standalone Gwent

Standalone just feels too bloated for me. Suddenly there's fiftyseven new decks, hundreds of new cards and special attributes to all of them. I prefer the simplicity of W3's decks.
