So. CDPR did it. They’ve abandoned good old Gwent for Gwent: Homecoming. If you liked the old gwent, it’s hard to get used to the new style. All your cards, all your decks from beta: gone. No thank you playing the beta .. No scraps, no kegs, simply gone. Everything is gone for good:
So since Gwent: Homecoming is the new Gwent I don’t see why I should pay anything more, just to take the risk of losing everything all over again? Well – It won’t happen I guess, but anyway. The gameplay is, let me say ~different~. All cards are “remastered“. Mostly weaker, with other treats. When I started playing gwent, it was fired up nearly immediately, you could play a round and quit. Or you could simply get some kegs and had fun unpacking them. No hassle.
Unpacking kegs now, is just half the fun of Gwent beta. Or not at all. 🙁
Playing Gwent:H in the beginning it was like story here, story there blah blah and a lot of right clicking to skip all this babbling. CDPR wants to sell Thronebreaker and fit the Gwent style into it. They changed the old 2D Board style to a 3D Board style. Your deck leaders are no cards anymore, they’re 3D animated characters on the side of the board. The 3 rows were reduced to 2 rows. All in all, too much Animation for old computers IMHO. If you’ve never played Gwent, it is quite a neat game. It looks good and you’ve got the witcher world setting. The tutorial is a bit lame, but it explains the game. The gameplay is still okay, but the fun is gone. I’ll try it some more nevertheless..
Thank you CDPR. 🙁
