Come on, CDPR, this decision just doesnt make any sense. Gwent was fun because it was a nostalgic retake on the game all of us grew to love in Witcher 3. Not only does this change fundimentally rewrite the original's mechanics, but it also changes everything all of us beta-testers learned and helped to perfect in the beta.
Frankly, it's just plain disrespectful.
Was so good i beta state.Now its i s just nice graphic with no gameplay you can just fall aslpeep during rounds nothing happednd. I Wonder this 2 years was for.... to turn in to gwentstone. Why so many changes... why no just keep current mecahnic with this awesome artstyle.
I didn't play much gwent while it was in beta coz there is not much free time in my day left for games, but i really liked it. 1-2 hours, time to time. This game was like an old friend, you don't see him everyday but you still miss him. I've read about deck building, watched videos from gwent open and so on. It was cool.
And now you made it into something totally different. It's just another game. Why you don't name it Gwent 2 and release some time later? I mean game in beta should be polished, but not totally messed up. Your new game is still ok, but I would rather continue to play the old Gwent, and one day (maybe) move to the new version. The problem is not only I don't want to play it, I don't even want to watch videos or read any materials about it. I just don't like it. At all. That's really sad... Gwent was absolutely unique... until you made it 1.0.
Anyway, thank you, really, for that short, but beautiful time that I spent in Gwent beta.
Well, they say making completely different game in 2 years is great, but it is... strange. The had a nice gameplay with some freshy mechanic and they made laggy unplayable simplified game with lots of unplayable cards which don't even combinated!
Did it worth to make awful CGI commanders instead of nice intensive gameplay? I think not.
Or at least you should wait untill this ...thing will run with more than 15-20 FPS.
