I’ll say it again: cross-save will help sell Switches. It’s was one of the best things about the Vita, and it will be the same for Switch.
Nice. I really want to get into this game. I already bought it on switch day one but I have not even opened it yet. Cause you know; life, work, school, knitting, baking and other games.
But Im afraid I might not understand anything since I haven’t played the other games and I have only watched the Netflix series and for what I understand is very different from the games but it was a great watch! (my only critique was how difficult was to understand what was a flashback and what was present other than that, great series) anyway Im glad it’s getting support from the devs!
So you’re a Grandma that’s a fan of the Witcher, but you don’t have time to play it because you’re busy knitting and baking.
You won’t. I played the game without playing the first two & I wasn’t lost on what was going on. They tend to explain why this or that is happening & why this or that character has it in for Geralt.
Cross save with PC is a wounderful addition. I only have it for Switch, but considering that the game is a lot of times with great discount on Steam, I will consider buting it on that platform.
I love this game, so if they ever have cross-save support with PS4, I will have no problem buying the game again on Switch. I won’t hold my breathe, though, since Sony IE is going stupid.
