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"

I would never research a game, its called trial and error my friend. I'm the type of gamer that goes after the hard trophies like Grounded Mode on TLoU, Crushing Mode in Uncharted, Platinums in games like ME1+2, RE5, MGS series, AC series, GoW series, GTA V and Uncharted series. I'm not one of those people who play a game just to pass time, I actually enjoy the experience put forth and more than anything look for a good storyline and a challenge at the same time. Playing games like Oblivion or Fallout 3 with the difficulty cranked up is time consuming but its the most effective way to make the game more immersive. I get the mosrt out of a game, trust me.

The reason why I said I am now unattracted to The Witcher 3 is because SvennoJ made it seem like it had problems with its progression after death which is an unattractive thing to have in games, plus the statement about the clunky controls which I've heard people talk about. The quest he described sounds pretty glitched but oh well. Doesn't make the game bad, its just my opinion, many people find MGS series to be very annoying but that's just an opinion. My opinion is practically baseless due to the fact that I've never played The Witcher 3 but that's all my previous statement stood for anyways, it wasn't meant to be anything special, just my simple view of some random guys post.

But no, without researching about The Witcher 3 before hand I'm sure I would welcome the challenge, I do not look at guides unless they are Fallout or ES games (I'm a completionist).

When I say research I mean talking to people int he game about the enemy, finding books in the game about the enemy, reading the beastiary that gets updated as you progress through the sidequest.

I dont mean going online at all.  The beastiary is amazing in this game.
