I am officially unattracted to this game.

Why?  Reading that is just made me think of half the gaming journalists out there.  Horrible gamers.  

I feel like if he had a let's play and I watched it, I would quit watching very quickly thinking "this guy sucks at games"

 

Haven't played bloodbourne but from what I've heard of that type of game its very unforgivving and you die alot.  i would think that would have helped people to be prepared for battles.  Witcher is a game taht you don't just blindly run up to groups of enemies and swing away, and just focus on mashing a button till enemy dead.  Someone hits your back and you lose like 3/4 of your hp.  This game rewards preparation big time.  Knowing what enemies are weak against. Quick or Strong attacks.  Applying oils they weak against, using signs they are weak or vulnerable too.  Drinkign potions to do various buffs ect.  

I mean heck one of the side quests you fight a noonwraith and you can't do any damage to it unless you either throw a certain bomb at it or get it into one ofyour signs.  Without researching about it before hand you would not know this and probably die bitchign at the game for being "BROKEN"

Thanks, but I do not suck at games :)

It was the second fight since the tutorial I played a day earlier. (First one I had that graphical corruption). I did not blindly run up, I approached carefully trying to lure one out, didn't work, they all jumped me together. I started dodging which made the camera go wild as I couldn't recall the lock on button.
No, I did not gather traps, oils and bombs yet. Everything was still locked and no money. Anyway the fight wasn't even the problem, autosave points, slow reload on death, and the horrible horse chase were the problem.

I'm still having lots of fun exploring, although I feel like the usual errand boy again. (Find my pan, really) But the game suggests I should level up and prepare, as you said as well, so I'm stuck running errands for now instead of enjoying the story.
Mr experienced Witcher has to start at the bottom of the ladder again, although he claims he's already killed many a griffon, and probably noonwraith too. He should know this stuff, yet he starts as a lvl 1 unprepared rookie...
