    The co-founder is definitely referring to the Gwent standalone game. I played it when open beta came out but it steadily went downhill from there until they eventually stopped working on it in 2023.

      Funny because I stray away from anything that associates itself with AAA

            Once you go Ubi, you can't go back to a life without climbing towers.

              Well, the world should have moved on to IPv6 a long time ago.

                Well, The Witcher 1 and 2 weren't open world, and those turned out pretty well, especially 2. There's something to be said about what a game from them might gain by doing more in a smaller world.

                    CDPR's open worlds are cardboard props to the stories.

                      They also created a standalone, story based Gwent card game that is pretty good, just in case you didn't know: Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales

                        I tried playing Witcher 2 when it came out, but couldn't. It's so immersion breaking when some parts of the map are blocked by some gates or invisible walls. When Witcher 3 came out I was hesitant at first remembering my bad experience with 2, but I loved it so much.

                          How did you feel about Baldur's Gate 3? Because the structure of the maps in the first two Witcher games are what most of the genre is like.

                            You're missing out on some great experiences that indies simply can't produce in that case

                              They are in almost all open world games.

                                Any such experiences in the last few years? I think the last AAA games I've played where RDR2 and Spider Man.

                                  I rarely play games nowadays and even more rarely new games. Baldur's Gate 3 is the first one that comes to mind in recent years.

                                    The cyberpunk one was great, because it was so beautiful that merely driving in it was enjoyable

                                    TW3's open world was boring and terrible in every way

                                        The co-founder is definitely referring to the Gwent standalone game. I played it when open beta came out but it steadily went downhill from there until they eventually stopped working on it in 2023.

                                        I liked that game. Then they decided to completely rework it. IMO for the worse. It went downhill from there.
