How do we gatekeep gen Z and gen Alpha from RPGs? Obviously im talking about small indie devs since all the big titles are already lost. I just want to smash enemies and fuck elven tsuendre bitches, not all that gay quirky shit.
If nothing will change anytime soon, genre gonna be pretty much dead - same way it happened many times before with different media raped that way

Absolutely soul-crushing scene. My first playthrough of W3, I had played W1 and picked Triss, but not yet read the books, so I picked Triss again. Terrible mistake.
>>
>>3654981
Terrible indeed. Only Yennefer is Geralts true love
>>
great /tv/ thread

He was happier with Triss.

How do we gatekeep you?

know your place zoom zoom, back to v with you

By that point in the story, Yen was acting like such a power-crazed cunt I refused to go on her quest.
>"This psycho wants to tame a fucking djinn now? I'm out."
>>
>>3654970
Start your own corporation publishing your own problematic shit or sell your soul and make bland aislop RPGs and gatekeep people that way.
>>
>>3654970
you don't need to do anything.
zoomers are scared shitless of commitment, even as little as choosing a video game to play. They won't try anything new out of their own volition, they need someone to tell them to play one first. You can experience it on gaming boards on 4chan regularily, e.g. >>/vr/11370357

I give you 10 seconds to copy and paste it manually, then come back here to suck me off.
>>
>>3655417
Why is everyone who cries about zoomers a retard who came here in 2016
>>
>>3654970
Why would zoomers, a demographic barely into their college years at the oldest, be responsible for "gay quirky shit" in RPGs? Blame the retarded aging millennials and soulless scum-sucking corpos who only care about social posturing and profit margins.
>>
>>3654970
You can't. Same way we couldn't keep you out of them.
>>
>>3655575
im modeled by RPGs, its part of my persona, my yang/ying you shithead

its made for zoomers, you cant sage newfag
>>
>>3655598
zoomers are significantly more rightwing than millennials, the content you're whining about isn't pitched at them

It comes from the books: Geralt made a wish to a djin that forced them to be together in one of the first short stories.

I always do the mission and reject her right there; all romance options in that game are aweful, imo.
>>
>>3656164
She deserved the heartbreak. Yennifer is a piece of shit, just like all the sorceresses. They are all driven by pure spite and never grow up past it.
>>
>>3654970
Puzzles.

>zoomers, a demographic barely into their college years at the oldest
That's alpha, zoomers are younger millenials
>>
>>3655002
He was """happy""", if you could even call it that, due to the Djinn. Narratively there would be no reason to have that wish unless it wasn't a a naturally happy relationship.
Canonically Geralt is dead and undoing the wish never happened, ergo it wasn't some "true love" or anything like that.

The games however are not canon and Yennefer is barely in them (just in 3) and in the canon of the games, Triss makes way more sense since you spend more time with her, she has far better chemistry with Geralt's friends (which are very important to him), doesn't fuck around with stuff Geralt greatly disapproves of like black magic, is very clearly a far happier relationship without the constant lies, gaslighting and bitchy attitude Yen gives him.

So no, neither option is canon in the games an Yen most definately isn't Geralt's true love in the games, in fact they make it abundantly clear she's not.
At the end of the day you pick the one you like more, the bitch or Triss.
>>
>>3656170
>without the constant lies, gaslighting
Game-Triss does this too tho.
>>
>>3656171
Only in the first game to shoehorn her in, which incidentally also wasn't very well written and was a very rough game.
Yen does this non-stop. Yen is not a good person at all. She's basically the textbook example of everything people in the setting say is bad about Sorceresses. Half the time she's basically abusing Geralt.
>>
>>3656174
Yeah, but then in w3 triss’s personality is a mopey
>woe is me, I stole a man by using his amnesia to fill the role of his love but then he remembered he was already in love and caught me in my plan
There’s really no reason to pick her besides tits and red hair, which are compelling reasons I will admit, but in flies in the face of roleplaying and the backstory of the series
Imo the worst part of Triss in w2/3 is how they gave her fire engine dyed red hair when there are other characters with reasonably realistic natural red hair

Give me 5 examples of Yennefer lying and gaslighting in the game. I haven’t played it probably five years so it’s not fresh in my mind. I will grant you the bitchy attitude, fair. She’s mostly uptight and anxious about Ciri, which is why she will do literally anything for her (e.g. the necromancy scene). She loosens up and relaxes later.

I thought you nigs and nogs had /v/ to be your echo chambers. Get your Indian bots isolated in your shit spaces.

You're the one who needs to be gatekept.

Every choice in the games is awful. The whole atmosphere is awful, the world and the lore too. The main character is a disgruntled plumber going around taking care of everyone's shit, not just the monsters and then also laying (witcher-made, STD-resistant) pipe to all the unsatisfied women around town. Does the job so well, much to his chagrin, that it gets the attention of kings.
I should do another playthrough.

This is a rean board

>>3654970
The fact that you care about romance in RPGs just proves you are a newfag and part of the decline. Every real oldschool RPG player who played the genre when it was still good knows that romance is retarded gay shit and a waste of time and resources.
>>
>>3654970
time and place let's settle this like real men boomer.
>>
>>3656872
haha...
>>
>>3656178
The reason to pick Triss is because
>she's a much nicer and selfless person than yen
>doesn't treat geralt (and the player) like shit
>get along with geralt's friends
>etc

The game isn't even subtle about it.
>people running into yen almost always strongly dislike her, including ones that like geralt, the opposite is true for triss
>yen consorts with emhyr and constantly lies to geralt
>yen's quests involve performing dark magic, necromancy, draining groves of natives, selfish acts like with the djinn and pissing people off,
>triss quests involve rescuing mages, allowing herself to be captured and tortured to help geralt, etc

Player's perception will be that Yen is a bitch and Triss is a nicer more selfless person.
If you ignore this, it comes down to preference in terms of looks and if you have a kink for being treated like shit.
>>
>>3654970
Become an indie game dev. Don't expect anything. Do it out of the shear love of rpgs.
>>
>>3658070
>yen constantly lies to geralt
Still waiting for examples of this btw
>>
I only played W1 and W2 but Triss is basically a saint compared to every other sorceress you meet, I have a hard time believing Yen would be a better partner than her
>>
Death to all sorceresses.
>>
>>3658208
In w1, Triss was not-Yen, just like Alvin was not-Ciri
>>
>>3658208
But Yen is true love of Geralt. Oneitis
>>
>>3658250
She was a huge bitch but was Ciri's "mom", Geralt being such a fuck boy for her was probably his biggest character fault since they both just fuck around all the time anyway.
Playing the games before reading the books made me think Triss was the main interest though.
>>
>>3658222
>Alvin
I cringe every time i think of that character
