It has nothing to do with the gaming industry.

I enjoyed Geralt's story in two of the three games (I did enjoy the first game more after they enhanced it) but I played the games for the writing & stories. It's not like BG or Diablo where you have options to create your own character, you know going into these specific games who the protagonist is. If the developers want a dragon or a marsupial as their hero, I'm not going to cross my arms and huff and puff because the character doesn't represent me.

I always hated Super Mario because of this. I'm not an Italian Plumber!

True, being old and cynical must suck.

ehhh sort of, tho it saves me a decent amount of money when i keep seeing the same patterns come true again and again, with the likes of concord, veilguard, saints row reboot, etc.

with the likes of concord, veilguard, saints row reboot, etc

are those... games?

last thing I played was Anno 1800 and some Arams

but I really liked the Witcher-games so far, Witcher3 had so many references to the source-material, Cyberpunk was also quite decent after a few months. I really dislike CDPR's focus on Nvidia-cards though. I hope they at least try to work with AMD&Intel to not make the performance on those platforms tank so hard with Ultra settings (from Hairworks to the Raytracing implementation it was just a big commercial for Nvidia so far).

And that Ciri's just badass is very, very much compatible with the source material.

>UE5

Yeah I'm checked out. They got CDPR. It's gonna be the perf requirements of CP77 but with none of the technically impressive visuals. It'll look like the last 5 UE5 games, which is, to say, a blurry TAA-riddled mess, and make my 3060 explode if I try anything above the Medium preset with DLSS Quality.

anyone that mattered at cdprojectred left around the time of cyberpunk so im not really surprised this looks like ass. add them to the list of producers that once were good like bioware, blizzard, ubisoft etc. gaming got hollywood and hollywood has been creatively bankrupt slop for decades.

Typical outrage crowd, calling something woke before realizing that that's a character straight out of source material.

I've always been intrigued by Witcher games but never got around to playing one. All this misogynist hate from a trailer (woman can't get mad or take charge, apparently?) means I'm definitely playing this one!

how do you enjoy these things? is it like watching a neil breen movie where its so bad its kind of funny?

Now-now, let’s be fair. She’s 1/8th elven at best. And I too was represented by Geralt, a widely despised mutant monster slayer, a glorified pest control specialist. After all, I too am widely despised.

LOL. Judging by the familiy tree, Ciri isn't even 1% elf.

At work now, haven't seen the trailer, but has Geralt gone non-binary?

I guess this is what happens if you leave Toxicity level at 100 for too long

Apart from that... very Witchery trailer. That is really all I can say. It could have been the teaser for the next season, too lol

I was just about to comment how sick to my stomach I was after being told that there already are lots of dumb comments under the trailer, presumably by the "white heterosexual males", complaining about having to play a woman, but I see that shit is already being brought up here. I just hope most of the comments here are irony (my pseudoautistic mind cannot tell).

Yes, they are, the first one was enough to get us going lol

I honestly can't fault the trailer for anything. It is what we've come to expect. Ciri being a Witcher is, okay, but she was already training for it wasn't she. Not entirely unexpected imho. TW3 revolves around her as much as Geralt.

Perhaps that's the thing though, you do kinda get into Geralt's skin when you play this stuff right. Its a big change of scenery nonetheless, I can see why some people have trouble adjusting. Its a bit like if you were to change the protagonist of Mario Bros. into Peach, and then still call it Mario Bros.

But adjust or don't, its happening anyway

What is decidedly not slop to you in gaming around this time? I'm curious. Or is everything shit
