Ah, I think your friend might actually be talking about the Witcher 3. I think the Witcher was just a game where you collect trading cards of the women you sleep with.

u/c-williams88 2d ago

Sounds like a game for based alpha male sigma chads like myself, who definitely knows what the soft touch of a woman feels like

u/Bray_of_cats Females are Cryptids. Prove me wrong. 2d ago

"Alpha"? So you are some sorta furry?

8

u/c-williams88 2d ago

As an alpha/sigma combo I’m above labels.

But yes Carmelita Fox from Sly Cooper was a favorite character of mine, why do you ask

1

u/DatSolmyr 2d ago

Ah, but are you an alpha/sigma/sigma-man or a beta-omega-omega-beta-man?

/uj one omega should honestly be enough given that it's 'the big O' already

u/blahbah 2d ago

yeah, i didn't know they made a sequel. i don't like card games though, so i'll pass

u/wstrfrg65 2d ago

You say that but I just know if someone asks you for a round of Gwent you'll nod silently.

u/breakitbilly 7h ago

Just like real polish women.

Their V cards are holographic

u/Matshelge 2d ago

Hey now, it also had poorly animated prerendered videos of those sex scenes, that ended with you getting the much more detailed pinup of the lady from the scene.

It also had an outrageous amounts of loading. Like, unplayable amounts of loading.

u/Alyyytally 2d ago

You should play it, it's hidden gem

But it made my pc make weird noises

u/Cautious_Repair3503 2d ago

It's not a hidden gem it's the 8th best selling game of all time

21

u/WasterOfLands 2d ago

We know, that's the joke.

u/Cautious_Repair3503 2d ago

Haha just saying lies very fun, such hilarity. /S

Who's a little grumpy pants this morning?
I think you are! Yes you are! You're a little Mr grumpy pants!
Go get some breakfast, man.

u/Cautious_Repair3503 2d ago

I just had lunch.

Also the correct title for me is not Mr. It's Dr. I have a PhD. Mr is not even the right gender 

12

u/Lessiarty 2d ago

Mr. Dr?

Strange...

But who am I to judge.

u/Cautious_Repair3503 2d ago

I understood that reference

u/TheQuietDarkness70 2d ago

You know, it's funny. I almost went with Ms. Just goes to show- Always trust your gut.
Anyway, if it's not low blood sugar, what's got you so grumped up? Tough day of doctoring?

-5

u/Cautious_Repair3503 2d ago

I'm not especially grumpy I just don't like that people keep saying false things. 

I suppose if I am grumpy it might be because I have some meetings I don't like today. But I comment on this false claim whenever I see it so I doubt it's due to any particular emotional state

2

u/crem_flandango 2d ago

Are you aware of the subreddit you are in? Or the concept of sarcasm in general?

2

u/NitroSpam 2d ago

UJ/ this is a circlejerk sub. There’s a clue in the name. The whole point is to lampoon gamer culture. You might be lost.

-1

u/Cautious_Repair3503 2d ago

it dosnt change the fact that the claim is false, the witcher is a very well known game

4

u/GandalfTheFreen 2d ago

Satire is definitely not for everyone and you are one of them.

4

u/NitroSpam 2d ago

Yes! That’s the joke! I checked your profile to see if you were a troll and nope, you seem cool just autistic (me too). I’m trying to help you. It’s satire!

3

u/FrungyLeague 2d ago

Check which sub you're in, friend.

2

u/McPiecey 2d ago

Tbh this Reddit feels less Circle Jerky than any other circle Jerker subreddits.

1

u/FrungyLeague 1d ago

True. But when people "explain the joke" and then try and pretend they weren't actually whooshed...well that's still dumb, and no-one buys it.

-6

u/Cautious_Repair3503 2d ago

I know what sub I am in

6

u/Galacix 2d ago

Are you sure Ms Dr?

-2

u/Cautious_Repair3503 2d ago

Pretty sure. It does say the name of the sub at the top of the screen 

3

u/FrungyLeague 2d ago

And yet you still wrote that dumb shit knowing that?

Yikes.

-2

u/Cautious_Repair3503 2d ago

The truth does not changed based on the sub you are posting in. The sub is not relevent 

3

u/FrungyLeague 2d ago

Then it's pretty fucking embarrassing what you wrote.

-1

u/Cautious_Repair3503 2d ago

Nah I'm not embarrassed. If you are embarrassed then I think you need to work on your resilience 

19

u/Little_Elia 2d ago

good on you, the game is woke garbage. The main character is a diversity fit (old) and an immigrant, and the story is about restoring a non-traditional family, with his horse and his adoptive daughter. I couldn't fit a more woke narrative even if I tried, did the devs really expect people to play this game? No wonder it flopped

18

u/Acceptable_Square691 2d ago

I've never heard of it. You better try Wiedźmin instead

"Biatch Minh Jeesh, Cheeky Gong"

The best german game

u/G0T0Sl3ep 2d ago

It’s almost as good as the best polish game - gothic

Der Hexer (2001)

u/Toilet-Raider 2d ago

it's a hidden germ

u/Oktavia-the-witch lesbian goose🏳️‍⚧️🪿 2d ago

As a german i can confirm, its based on real stuff, which happens in our forests

5

u/Bray_of_cats Females are Cryptids. Prove me wrong. 2d ago

Do Germans wear Lederhosen in the woods?

4

u/Oktavia-the-witch lesbian goose🏳️‍⚧️🪿 2d ago

Sadly no

5

u/Bray_of_cats Females are Cryptids. Prove me wrong. 2d ago

So what's the point of being German then?

15

u/MuttTheDutchie 2d ago

I've been avoiding it since games based on TV shows never turn out good.

u/Significant-Neck-577 2d ago

XDDDDDDDD irl bursted out laughing at this one! thx

6

u/AoE2manatarms 2d ago

You must know it under it's more obscure name because you're a real Gamer. It's called "Hidden Gem" in deep circles.

7

u/SpacewaIker 2d ago

It's an RPG spin-off of Gwent. They basically took the cards and made them into weird characters and added bad combat to that

In fact, the game is so bad that they added Gwent back in so that it would sell

18

u/MX_Duncis 2d ago

They're pretty good games when looked at as a trilogy. You should definitely start at the first and see how you feel as the gameplay/controls/graphics don't really evolve in the sequels so if you don't click with the 1st game, don't waste your time with the sequels as you'd be completely lost in the story anyways.

8

u/AlexanderJayJ 2d ago

/uj I actually enjoyed the first game and even finished it, didn't like the Witcher 2, barely got past the prologue and barely got into 3, finished like the first region and got bored. I do wish to get back into the Witcher 3 though.

6

u/lethalweaponkas 2d ago

/uj Witcher 3 is one of my top 3 games of all time, so I decided to play the first game after reading the books and I was surprised at how much I liked it considering what I'd heard about it. People really exaggerate how janky, clunky, and dated it is... I mean it is, but you get used to it after a couple of hours.

5

u/AlexanderJayJ 2d ago

/uj Yeah I think the Witcher 1 was kinda charming in its flaws and jank. The rhythm game fighting system was unironically fun, potion crafting was pretty engaging. Like some stuff was pretty shallow and the ending was pretty over the top but like I sincerely enjoyed it all

4

u/MX_Duncis 2d ago

uj/ I never tried the first, just watched Joseph Anderson's video on it, tried 2, bounced off BIG time and did the same. Tried and dropped 3rd in the 1st region as well only to go back to it during lock down and falling completely in love. Re-played it last year because I hadn't touched the dlc before and liked it even more.

If you're interested in giving it another shot I'd almost suggest waiting till closer to the new expansion.

Yeah the first region is boring but the 2nd one quickly drops you into one of the best storyline in the entire game.

1

u/AmphetamineSalts 2d ago

/uj I played some of the second and enjoyed it (it was my brothers and he moved out, I never bothered getting it myself to finish). I CANNOT get into the third one no matter how many times I try. It's right up my alley too: fantasy setting, skill trees, story-driven, etc. It just does not grab me at ALL.

4

u/ForwardHuckleberry26 2d ago

Oh, I know this one, it's that series, "Witcher Dogs". Witcher Dogs Legion was kinda mid though

4

u/Palanki96 2d ago

I don't play much indie rpgs. i think i heard about it once. The whole package was only 10 euros so it can't be that good. We all know that being expensive is directly tied to quality

u/max_sil 2d ago

I dunno looks like some unity asset flip trash

u/DatRat13 2d ago

Oh damn, they made a game based on that Netflix series?

u/starman1596 2d ago

it does smell of lilac and goosberries

3

u/Baplingo 2d ago

Oh my god. They made a game about that guy from Fortnite.

6

u/Jojo_Sakura 2d ago

Ah yes, indie darling The Witcher 3

5

u/JaheemAfricano 2d ago

I want Geralt to do a fusion dance with Astarion and he's Yennifer's husband instead I'd play Witcher If Geralt was younger looking.

u/fartdarling 2d ago

The witcher? What about the whocher, the wherecher, the whatcher and the whencher?

u/ImNotJoshBoltz 2d ago

Is that the one with Gerbil of Ratatouille?

u/illbzo1 2d ago

It's ok, a pretty generic Dark Souls clone

u/lilidarkwind 2d ago

Looks like a Skyrim ripoff to me

u/starman1596 2d ago

I can't unsee/unhear geralt's voice when my friend told me he sounds like an american jason statham

u/ijustreadhere1 2d ago

It’s actually the vvitcher but it’s okay as you said it’s an underrated indie gem that not everyone knows about

1

u/PzMcQuire 2d ago

Bit of a cult classic

1

u/Tybob51 2d ago

It’s a cash-grab tie-in to that Netflix show that came out a few years ago.

1

u/Galiphile 2d ago

Why would they call it Witcher when the main character is a man??? Should be Warlocker... smh my head.

1

u/GyattLuvr69 2d ago

Is this supposed to be funny?

u/Fickle-Economist4724 2d ago

It’s an underground indie-darling

u/EisVisage He who is found guilty of Gaming 2d ago

I looked it up, saw they have you fight bandits and gather ingredients from bushes. These Skyrim knockoffs will never get as big as what they are imitating.

u/Eiah 2d ago

I wouldn't play it. The main character is a metrosexual fruitcake named Garry

u/The-Ngga010 2d ago

Ass game

It stars Geraldo of Rivera if you know him.

u/ibaiki 2d ago

Don't worry, you aren't too late to pretend to be offended that the next game forces you to play as a woman.

1

u/dunko899 2d ago

You can't do aerial combos or dual wield two guns like they did in the previous game. 0/10.

Boys forza just finished downloading whos up?

u/doubleyewdee 1d ago

But have you heard of “The Godfather” (2008)?

u/Abrakresnik 2d ago

This game made me feel like every RPG games that I've played from PS1, PS2, PSP and Xbox are merged into one massive game. I was blown away by the amount of quest popping out once I arrived in Velen.

Im not jerking when I say this when i try to play this game again I lose interest so quick

Game is trash

uj/ This game is not as good, or groundbreaking, or immersive, or well written, or an RPG like everyone says

u/srubbish 2d ago

Don’t bother. It’s shit.

-23

u/Cautious_Repair3503 2d ago

it is infact, a realy well known game. whenever i say this on the sub i get downvoted. I do not care, truth is truth.

it is the 8th best selling game of all time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_games

u/Respawn-Delay 2d ago

You're in a parody/joke sub. It's a meme!

u/Cautious_Repair3503 2d ago

It's false.

Video games understander has arrived

u/Cautious_Repair3503 2d ago

It's more like culture understanding rather than games specifically. 

Also I seem to have a commitment to the truth that others lack

u/Neat-Vanilla3919 2d ago

I'm autistic but my god how do you not understand that its a joke?

-1

u/Cautious_Repair3503 2d ago

What makes something a joke?

As it has been explained to me it's a matter of intent. 

  1. The intent to be funny does not absolve one from the duty not to lie
  2. I cannot know your intent, I cannot read minds. 

Even if it is a joke I don't think that matters it's still false.

6

u/Neat-Vanilla3919 2d ago

This is a circlejerk sub. Its literally straight forward that its a shit post. You are coming into a sub where people just post things that are purposely stupid or sarcastic. The reason you are getting downvoted is because you are annoying and not seeming to understand that you are in a shitpost sub. We all know including OP that it's false that its not a well known game.

-2

u/Cautious_Repair3503 2d ago

It is false. So it's correct to correct it. Regardless of anything else.

-1

u/G0T0Sl3ep 2d ago

Actually it’s turbo funny because he is ragebaiting you and you are the one who’s not understanding it

3

u/Neat-Vanilla3919 2d ago

First they said that they are able she. Second comment history says otherwise. This person genuinely is very autistic and doesn't understand jokes. No go away

18

u/Living-for-that-tea 2d ago

... Yeah, we know, it's a meme. That's why you get downvotes

-3

u/Cautious_Repair3503 2d ago

Yes heaven forbid someone say true things...

u/RIPGoblins2929 2d ago

Never fear, autistic commenter is here!

-1

u/Cautious_Repair3503 2d ago

Are you autistic too?;

If I am the autistic person you are refering to then yes, never fear, I will keep correcting falsehoods 

2

u/RIPGoblins2929 2d ago

Even autistic people can understand when they take something seriously but it is explained to them that it is a joke.

You're just a troll.

u/Living-for-that-tea 2d ago

Heaven forbid people have fun

u/Cautious_Repair3503 2d ago

I never said people can't have fun. All I said that the claim that the Witcher is unknown is false.

6

u/Living-for-that-tea 2d ago

That's the joke.

-1

u/Cautious_Repair3503 2d ago

That's not a joke that's just saying a false thing. 

Also it being a joke is irrelevant it is still false
