Witcher 4

I've no particular attachment to the series but Ciri looked very cool in the trailer. Baffled by the online discourse saying she has DEI chin or whatever. People will find any reason to be angry or offended these days.

They’ve never actually seen or interacted with a real woman before.

The response to Naughty Dog's Intergalactic was even worse. I guess they're wanting waifus to be in every game.

I've never played the Witcher games before, but I always meant to give Witcher 3 a go.

Indeed. I’m not a fan of the character design in that game, it’s a bit lacking, but the actress they have is really good.

That trailer was terrible though, did nothing for me and nobody else seemed to care either during it until Naughty Dog popped up - from the streams I watched anyway.

I love the look of it. The 80s vibe. Her design is ripped straight from Akira. The product placement was ridiculous though! It definitely peaked my interest.

I got Alien vibes from that ND game but it seems interesting. Its ND end of the day, made some of the best game franchises of all time. I hope they can deliver , nobody wants a bad game. Long ways away to improve it before we get it in hand.

BTW, did you all like the Steel Hunters trailer?

I can’t wait for the game to be delisted 5 years after launch because the Porsche and Adidas partnerships expired.

Can we keep this BS out of this thread/forum please? Sick and tired of hearing about culture war everywhere. You have the "chuds" on one side that scream bloody murder, and the other side sticking their head in the sand and pretending nothing is wrong. Reality, as always, is far more complicated and nuanced and the internet is the last place I'd expect people to have any kind of in-depth, bona fide discussion.

This is the one place I hope not to hear about this crap.

What is wrong with the trailer though? I get the concerns regarding Ciri seemingly losing her powers and getting the mutations and all that but a lot of the discourse surrounding this trailer is just: "They replaced Geralt with a woman!" "Ciri looks like a man!" "Of course the white men are the real monsters!" "They will kill Geralt like Naughty Dog killed Joel!" "The trailer reeks of woke!" and so on...

The people saying those things clearly don't care about the franchise or these characters, and likely never even finished a single Witcher game. Most are just grifters thriving off the culture war nonsense and it's just tiring at this point. They bring nothing of value or nuance to the discussion, so obviously the people that do care about the franchise, including those with legitimate concerns regarding lore changes and so on, are going to react negatively when these frauds infiltrate discussions about the trailer with their blind vitriol, parroting the opinions of their favorite grifter.
