it just won't be the same without Geralt. the whole game is gonna feel like a filler, a spin off.
Bro is gay for GeraltLOL
>>739887018It's CDPR's way of turning everyone into a troon.
>>739887131just admit that you want to>press X to suck cock
>>739887018>let's sideline the male MC for a female protagin the end, this shit never works well
>>739887018What I wouldn't give for a Witcher game that doesn't follow the story of a designated Witcher main character and instead lets you create your own custom silent protagonist Witcher that lets you pick what school they belong to.
It's not the Witcher if Geralt isn't the MC>>739887131Yes
>>739887018it's gonna be astroturfed to hell by journos and normalfags are gonna buy it in droves. you can't prevent a psyop in current age unfortunately.
>>739887018Geralt is in the game as a mentor figure from what I understand.
>>739887018Before it devolves into a woke discussion, I really want to talk about two really big problems I see1. Ciri is really milquetoast and boring.2. Her being a female Witcher feels like a double negative.Is she going to have to explain all of that every single time she takes a job? Like, I’m some peasant, I’m not going to rely on some woman claiming to be a witcher I guess you could make a story out of her proving herself, but it’s not modern timesHow are people in the next village supposed to know there’s a cool female Witcher now? It just feels weird narratively.Is there an explanation in the books?
>>739887018Ciri will have a black male romance option, you can count on it
>>739887018I agree with you, anon. The Witcher is a male power fantasy. It is what it is. The world is carefully crafted around this concept. The grim dark that erodes morality and makes most women promiscuous, the constant warring and danger of monsters, the supernatural power witchers have to seduce women, etc. It won't feel the same from the perspective of a woman.
>>739887270>It's not the Witcher if Geralt isn't the MCIf the only thing you care about in the setting is the main character, than the game is shit. Geralt is overrated as fuck, and is the least interesting part of the world. The women he fucks around with also aren't that interesting.
>>739887357>just buy it for a cameo appearance dudenah
I don't want to play as a woman so I shan't be boughting it
>>739887357Nothing indicates that; it looks like they deliberately cut ties(as they always do with genderswap protagonist)
>>739887372>Is there an explanation in the books?No. Witchers themselves are dying out in the books. Geralt and his friends are among the last of them, if not the very last. They have never taken female witchers, but I don't remember if it's because the mutagens don't work on them or something.
if you replace the main character of a franchiseyour shit game will only sell thanks to the nameand the game will be shit 100% of the time
Female "Successor" or Sensetive young man Which way western man?
>>739887436Yes, CD Projekt Red has officially confirmed that Geralt of Rivia will appear in The Witcher IV (codenamed Project Polaris), and a mentor or supporting role is highly anticipated. While his legendary voice actor, Doug Cockle, is locked in to return, the developers are keeping the exact narrative details a tightly guarded secret.
>>739887534this makes me angry
>>739887534How about cool autist.
>>739887534They killed Gustave so it doesn't apply.
>>739887018Ciri was a McGuffin and doesn't deserve her own game, they should just let us make a witcher and have a fresh self contained story
>>739887396That's fine but just say you're an incel afraid of cooties instead of pretending Geralt was some super interesting character.
>>739887472No i mean what's explanation to people exception among exception Like seeing well spoken black guy in 1800s
>>739887534Female successors never work, modern writers can make only an angry dyke
>>739887576Thanks chatGPT
>>739887241Retard
>>739887647Of course there is no explanation. Why even ask this?
>>739887602Only works for linear FPS >>739887606It does, because i like him
>>739887645I collected almost all the cards in witcher 1, shut up idiot.
>THERE ARE NO MONSTERS ONLY MEN *this is mytfight song starts playing as ciri cuts the cocks off of all the men in game with her elder blood powers as a superimposed Hilary Clinton, AOC, and a fat black woman are seen in the sky mouthing the lyrics to the song*>*an ad for women empowerment and vlosest women shelter is them shown on a black acreen to silence*>the credits roll with Taylor swift songs playing as all 9000 indian names that "worked" on the game go bye
>>739887628It's crazy that everyone knows TW3 was at its best in the DLCs (short, self-contained vignettes/adventures like in the first two books with interesting characters and themes), and instead of making a game where it's just 4-5 of these strung together, they're going for another full open world cinematic slopfest that will suck. The TW3 MSQ was seriously bad.
>>739887576You have too much trust in Polish scammers. guys. Nobody from you heard what they said about TW2, but it turned out to be a soft reboot where you get shitty armor and a few lines if you import your saves.
>>739887719Because it’s really weird narratively, anyone who is into worldbuilding knows you don’t want one character to have too much. Ideally, all things should stem from one node, not from multiple unrelated sources like "he’s the chosen one, but also works hard, also got this power from X, and also got this cool sword while being an outcast."
Controlling strong men with our pussies is going to be so much fun, sisters.
>>739887819You're overestimating current CDRP. Likely, this won't even be an issue for Ciri in the game outside of one or two scenes with a misogynistic king or noble (because patriarchy). Don't keep any hopes they game won't be woke as fuck.
>>739887754Blood and Wine was great but I didn't care much for Heart of Stone compared to the base game
>>739887993I think it’s actually an interesting narrative problem, but one that falls in the middlebecause chuds will just call it wokeslop and move on, and wokes won’t say anything since doing so might be seen as problematic or as agreeing with the alt right
>>739887131frfr skibidi fanum :skull:
>>739888172Reasonably, that is easily solvable in the narrative by making her famous, just as Geralt was already famous. Ciri, Geralt, and the rest are like elves; they are near-immortal. This game could be set 200 years after W3 and would make little difference for them.
>>739887705>t. thinks playing the role of Garalt makes the Witcher a role playing gameFaggot
>>739887018>never played 1 and 2>never read the booksBUT IM THE BIGGEST FAN
>>739888389Fair, but the first game seems like an underdog story. And her being famous would have other issueslike how many times are you going to repeat "I had no faith in you, but you’re actually good"? But it’s probably better than people just immediately accepting a female Witcher
>>739888456>beaten 1, 2 and 3>read all until season of stormsyes I am
>>739887018Ciri is Geralt with tits. You won’t be seeing much change in how the protagonist behaves.Since she’s bi you’ll most likely still be able to fuck hot sorceresses too.
Id be fine with a "create your own witcher"Ciri as a protag is just not gonna do it
>>739887018the literally remove male V from all CP77 promotional arts, CDPR has been overrun by trannies, this game will be woke as fuck
>>739887241This. I'm fine with Geralt's story, but now it's done. Time for us to go on our own adventures in the Witcher world. Let us choose our Witcher school and set us loose on a huge open world.
>>739888738>Since she’s bi you’ll most likely still be able to fuck hot sorceresses too.Lesbian romance just isn't the same. You need both parties to be really compelling for it to work.
>>739888738>Since she’s bi you’ll most likely still be able to fuck hot sorceresses too.See this is what makes female protagonists weird. Because gamers are still male and most likely not gonna wanna romance men, all of a sudden every female character will be lesbian or bi and now the world starts to feel like fanfiction or something.
>>739887018Has this "pass the torch to a new character"shit EVER worked in a vidya series?Not even the japs manage to do it.
>>739888738Just give her a young boy apprentice/noble she needs to save and make her romance him.
>>739887018>witcher 3 >looked amazing at that time>run well, even gpus of that time could easily run it in 4k>based redengine allowed for crazy modability >witcher 4 >ue sloppa>30fps + frame gen + dlss + 5090 + tip + path tracing + tax >0 modabilityGame is gonna be dogshit no matter what.
>>739887018Never understood why Ciri wants to become a witcher, or why it's empowering or whatever that she becomes one. Being a witcher supposedly sucks. Everyone hates you, your job doesn't pay and you're getting replaced by a bunch of lads armed with halberds.
>>739889028I wouldn't mind playing a straight fem MC, but the problem is fem gooners who write them are dreadfully boring. The male LI would likely just end up as a cocky, Chad rich guy.
>>739887131can it, dyke
>>739887241Which is what everyone hoped the next Witcher game would be but then (((Blackrock))) got involved.
>>739889228That's a really long discussion. Gist of it: the original idea was for her to become Geralt's love interest, but that was changed when Witcher became a series of books.
>>739889228It's just how she tries to connect with the only father figure she has.
I was thinking about not playing it because it's outsourced but then I remembered cdp is now americanised and run by DEI fags so I guess being outsourced to some poles might actually make it a better game than if it was made by diversity hires
>>739889065Silksong and Hades 2 performed better than their predecessors.Im sure it will be the same case here as well and I expect the board to be unusable for 2 weeks as a result.
>>739887018On of the main points of the og Witcher games was being this mysterious Chad traveler who fucks random girls and shit. How is that going to work here? I'm not playing this woke trash but even if I pirate it I'm not having Ciri fucks guys. At the same time making her lesbian would reinfroce the whole girlboss feminist aspect and asexual would be boring so...This game is DOA. Specially after the debacle and the lies with CP 2077
>>739889512solution: >>739889167
>>739888738>Man is woman without titsKek) Dilate then strangulate
>>739887224Atrocious character design
>>739887131Lmao
>>739889241>I wouldn't mind playing a straight fem MCI just can't picture myself doing it. I'm supposed to be inserting as Ciri and seducing/fucking a dude? Fuck all that gay shit. Nope. And of course the gooner in me would be fine with banging girls as Ciri but like I said that's where you start running into the everyone's a lesbian now thing which feels really goofy from an actual story perspective. Realistically everything should be in reverse. The Yen and Triss characters for Ciri would be male versions but... male gamers aren't gonna be down for that.
Not to be a woke libtard, but why is Geralt always in discussions about great protagonists?I guess the whole daughter stuff is kind of interesting, but other than that, he’s basically every stoic protagonist ever>I’ll do this morally dubious thing because that's my job>Get out of here before I change my mind and kill you all>You might as well pay me half the ransom you were going to payA lot of the choices in the game are interesting, but Geralt has nothing to do with those choices. He’s basically John Marston, except Marston had a more interesting story of his own
>>739889935>The Yen and Triss characters for Ciri would be male versions but... male gamers aren't gonna be down for that.Because they would make them boring. Give me an age gap young boy and it would work. Men love couples with older girls. Or someone as well written as Garus.
>>739887018I'm already fatigued because she will be an empathetic figure as a witcher.
>>739890182Can you do that with a female protag though? And if you do that, why even make her female? Face it, it's just a lot harder to write good female MCs that don't just feel like a man.
>>739887386A witcher should be ugly as shit though.
>>739887018Any doujinshi at the very least?
>>739890352I don't even care for female protag thing, ill play if game is actually good and they fixed the combatbutI am just asking why Geralt is held so heigh up
>>739890520Is it Geralt or just the male protag?
>>739887224The fact that this game is being made to me speaks to the EGO of Cory and the atrocious writers of nuGOW.People only give a fuck about KRATOS. Not even an Atreus game would sell well
wondering if i should replay witcher 3. don't remember much since it's been too long other than the broad story strokes.
>>739890645There isn't a lot to remember outside of the Baron's quest.
Apparently CDPR are already planning a trilogy with this bitch but I'm like 95% sure those plans will be abandoned when Witcher IV has disappointing sales and they bring back Geralt for Witcher V
>>739887018I'll break my ribs with a hammer and suck myself off if the game even remotely looks like this demo
>>739887018>Worst part of witcher 3 was the ciri sections>Their next game completely focuses on ciriI cant see this going well at all.
>>739890182>why is Geralt always in discussions about great protagonists?He's the strong, silent type. Very traditionally masculine.
>i am strong depended ugly woman hear me roar>rooooarr!
>>739890809cyberpunk was a pile of garbage and it sold really really well. no chance this game flops financially.
>>739887018the main audience for this game is troons and women and they don't buy games lol
>>739891016Cyberpunk let you play as a dude. Witcher IV is really cucking itself with Ciri it never goes down well when you take these franchises with male fanbases and male protagonists and shove a girl in there.
>>739887534When the sensitive young man cries the angles weep with him, for they know his tears are pure.When the foid cries the God looks away, for he knows her tears are fake.
>>739890981Not saying it's not fun But it's every other video game protag even in 2025 with the beast and 40k games
I'll buy it, but only if Ciri gets blacked
>>739887018I fucking hated Geralt, after pushing through first two games, second was good, but the third one with it's open world shit was to much for me, hopefuly it will be more kino with Ciri
>>739891082Male v is soulless as fuck tho. Female V is much better.
>>739892878>Female V is much better.She sucks bro, just a generic girlboss voice. Male V nails the emotional climaxes of the game better and his banter with Johnny feels a lot more authentic.
>>739892878Male V sounded so fucking goofy bro
Why do chuds say this game is woke?Ciri in the books and in the games is already the most powerful being. Her being a Witcher is more of a downgrade of her abilities than anything.
>>739894258regardless, we want to be Geralt
>>739894382Geh
>>739894258Because Ciri is a lesbian. Even in the tech demo there were prostitutes trying to fuck her. It's woke af
>>739894382nah fuck geralt. eskel isn't pussy whipped like he is
>>739894961Is she lesbian? I've not read the books but don't remember anything in the games about her being lesbian.
>>739887372>>739887472lurk moar, Witchers have easily identifiable cat/reptile/animalistic eyes.it's a non issue and exposes your bias and shitty taste.But more importantly, what possesses people to do this?Jump on random threads and have lengthy discussions about things they know nothing about and aren't involved in, without irony, just pretending the whole time and gargling bullshit back at each other?Is it some kind of mental illness?Autism?or just mundane stupidity and social ineptitude?
>>739887241Agreed, would've been interesting, I considered both Geralt's and Ciri's stories done with 3.
>>739895751It takes a lot of courage to barge into a discussion, say something incredibly ignorant, and still call others stupid.
>>739887224This will be the next concord, mark my words. Its like making a DOOM game without doomguy
>>739887018Why do UE games always look so shit? It's like an uncanny valley between actual good looking realism and soulful stylisation
>>739888771Have you seen their latest stream? Literally filled with blue haired, pink haired soulless annoying women kek
>>739895751i'm jealous of how you can be so confident in what you're saying while being a complete fucking retard.>witchers have easily identifiable cat/reptile/animalistic eyesand most of villagers in the world of the witcher also believe they have tails, or eat children. they also look like fucking mutants. geralt is mostly identified as a witcher by a) two swords on his back b) his medallion. seeing a chick with reptile eyes would make them think they're confronting a monster, not a miraculous female witcher.why miraculous? because trials of grass aren't conducted on women because they all die. fuck, most of boys die. they even discuss it in kaer morhen in one of the first books. that's why the most important thing to know for the villagers is that witchers take MALE CHILDREN when the surprise law is invoked.
>>739889339Bit extreme just to connect with dad, would Geralt even approve? I thought Ciri was stronger than a witcher anyway.
>>739898104The Unreal Engine is the most advanced, versatile and widely used game engine on the market today. It's not their fault if a dev team leaves half the engine's settings of default instead of heavily tweaking it for their game.
>>739887018It's gonna be WOOOOOOOOOOKEWhen I was 12 all gaymes were heckin based and kinopilledBut now that I'm a jaded adult and my miserable life sucks (because of DA SJWS DA TROONS DA NIGGERS DA PAJEETS and DA JOOS) the gaymes are hecking WOKE and GAY
>>739900547I look like this and I say this
>>739900547well, look at what happened to Dragon Age Veilguard
>>739900547This but ironically and also unironically
>>739900547its going to be PROBLEMATICwhen i was 12 all games were PROBLEMATIC AND SEXISTim glad we saved videogames and STOPPED THAT even though im still miserable (because we live in a FASCIST PATRIARCHY)FUCK YOU CHUDS
>>739900547yup that's exactly right
>>739894258replacing a male protagonist with a female protagonist is woke 101
>>739900874pretty accurate but you forgot the part where it's a tranny that wants to cut his dick off and that he commits suicide shortly after because he will never be a woman
I want them to let Geralt rest, just like Master Chief and Halo. There are franchises like DOOM and Mario where you can keep the same guy forever because the story is mostly just filler but the Witcher is a very story heavy trilogy with a linear timeline. Does the protag's struggle ever end if a new ancient evil awakens every 5 years? Give him a break.But since the industry refuses to stop making sequels I'd rather they keep using Geralt anyways. The alternative is worse.Oh and uh woke and stuff and sex with succubi and harpies
