Decided to start a new game on Guild Wars 2, really good game, haven't been on it for donkeys.

Elite is peeing me off so I'm leaving it a while. Time for some good old RPG missions.

Can someone give me a very brief idea on Witcher 3?

Like what you do in it, what's the story (short version), and what type of game is it?

Nice one.

Like the look of the new Assassins Creed

That's the problem mate. They all look boss in theory.

Then you start playing and it's exactly the same as the last one. In a different kit.

Witcher 3 is exceedingly popular

Not played it myself, but that's mainly because I've not had time

Meh, I don't really mind if the gameplay is samey so long as it's fun and the stories good to be honest

What actually happens in it? I watched a few videos on it which intrigued me but none actually telling me much.

Didn't the story get insanely confusing like half way through the second one?

It's an open world game set in a fantasy style universe where monsters, elves and the like exist

Looks very engaging but also something you'd have to commit to

I tend to ignore the modern day stuff on Assassins Creed and just enjoy the past story, whatever it is

Played quite a bit of the 2nd one and liked the story a lot, with inexperienced Ezio eventually becoming a skilled assassin

I loved then first one where it was all new and stuff.

And did quite enjoy Black Flag for a bit.

There's defo fun to be had in the games but I do tend to get tired of them real quick.

London looks great it should be said.

Open world fantasy game.
You play as Geralt, a Witcher (monster hunter) searching for his lost adopted daughter (who is being hunted by 'The Wild Hunt' )

You also pick up contracts to rid towns and areas of meddlesome monsters for a fee.

It's tremendous fun and even the side-quests have plenty of meat on them to keep you interested.

It also has an interesting take on how your decisions affect the world. There's no good or bad karma etc. In fact, some missions don't have a good outcome and some of the results don't become apparent until many game hours later.

Oh, and it's bloody massive!

Thank you. I am very intrigued.

My only reservations are that I'm not really into fantasy type stuff (Harry Potter aside!), hate Lord of the Rings for example, but I do like the idea of a game where consequences of what you do really matter.

I can't wait.

I can't wait either. Going to have to buy a next gen console for it. Prob get an xbox one as I have a 360 currently.
Hopefully there will be a Fallout 4 bundle...
