It's for sure more in the hack and slash style of game play, which I can understand doesn't fit into the witcher world that well. I just feel there is a balance to be had. I have not played the any of the dark souls series yet but I have played Sekiro, and while I think for my preference it could be a bit more responsive, I feel it achieved a good balance and is very playable.

Yep tried to play Withcer 3 several times and gave up because of the ultra janky controls. I work in the industry and I just don't understand how control schemes can still be so shitty when other games have nailed it as far back as N64. That's not even counting how much I despise the overall industry shift towards prioritizing flowery character animations over player input, so your character always feels like there is a huge lag between player input and onscreen actions because your character is still doing the 4th twirl on his sword strike from the button you pushed 8 buttons ago..

In my opinion all characters in games should be as responsive as a fighting game when it comes to input and onscreen actions. I think the Ninja Giaden series nailed this down perfectly, compared to this level of responsiveness pretty much every modern game I've played feels like the characters are underwater.

That's literally what happened in the reboot that came out a few years ago...

I wasn't replying to you to challenge your answer, I was just clarifying my original question. I would like to think you would say it would be an issue regardless of the gender of who asked. My original question is scrutinizing the original post's intention as there are two issues present in the situation presented and at least on the surface they seem to take more of an issue because it was a man who asked. So If a woman asked that same woman the same question would she still respond with "Name 5 woman who trust you?" Just because a man is gatekeeping doesn't mean he's doing it only becausae she is a woman, he could just be a jackass who is gatekeeping and assuming he's doing it only because they are a woman is reverse sexism.

I meant if a woman asked this same woman the exact same question, would it be ok? Or is it a problem ONLY because a man asked the question to a woman? I've had men and women both ask me patronzing gatekeeping questions, jackasses are not limited to one sex.

Just checking, if woman asked the exact same question would that be ok? Gatekeeping happens on both sides, not sure how this a male only issue.

I instantly thought of Jack Skellington. 😆

It's suprisingly in great condition. The only sign of wear is the paint on the eyes has chipped off in some areas.

I have a ninja turtle cereal bowl from when I was a kid that I still use. It's from 1988.

After having my back go out twice from sneezing, I asked my doctor about it. He told me this life changing tip which so far (6 yrs) has never failed. When you feel a sneeze coming on, pull your shoulder blades back and look directly up, you can sneeze as hard as you want in this position and you will be fine. In my experience just the looking up is usually enough to protect the back, the pulled back shoulder blades is just an added layer of protection.
