CDPR would like you to please stop "making opinions" you stupid gamer chuds.

I don't want to play as a girl in a Witcher game

>>713365913 (OP)
still not playing as a womyn

>>713365913 (OP)
I remember when Assassin's Creed did this shit too.

Wtf happened to the internet? For years after TW3 people wanted a Ciri focused game

>>713365913 (OP)
>This is how its gonna be, and you will see in the game how it will play out
But I won't, I don't want to play as her.

>>713365913 (OP)
I want to play as her but not as a mutated witcher and not in a EU5slop clusterfuck.

>>713365913 (OP)
Her parts in TW3 were the weakest.
Where did this meme of her being a protag even begin?

>>713366105
Ciri's sections were the most boring shit in TW3

>>713366105
something happened between 2015-2025 i think

>>713366105
Playing as Ciri in the Witcher universe is cool because you get to see how terrifying the world is when you're a basic bitch human without Witcher powers.

Canonically, women cannot survive the Witcher trials. So a Witcher game where you have to rely on improvisation and general knowledge instead of fucking cheat codes was a neat thing people wanted to explore. But CDPR pulled a bitch move and made Ciri a mary sue who can ignore all the rules because of girl power.

>>713365913 (OP)
Never forget who is CDPR these days. Did you alread forget all those mentally ill trannies in all those group pictures? Did you really forget CP77? Ever since Witcher 3, CDPR had undergone the great replacement. All the wokes of Poland work there now.

>>713366105
People got sick and tired of non-straight white men because they were shoved in our faces too hard.

I'm buying Dawnwalker instead

>>713366105
No they fucking didnt ciris parts sucked ass

>>713365913 (OP)
Indeed. If you're on the right side of history politically though feel free to give us feedback so we can tune the game more to your sensibilities. We already have sensitivity readers and other consultants on hand but more insight is always appreciated.

>>713366378
>basic bitch human
>ciri
>basic

>>713366252
>>713366270
That has no bearing on a completely different game.
But W4 will be shit anyway because all the signs point to it.

>>713366378
they didnt even have to make her a witcher, shes a half elven sorceress trained by geralt

>>713365913 (OP)
"Make opinions" isn't English.
Dumb fucking Polack filth.

>>713365913 (OP)
lmao

>>713365913 (OP)
See Ciri isn't a bad option.

But making her look like this wold have sold the game better.

>>713366105
Are you able to work out why people might be bored of faultless girl-bosses? If you can work it out you're ahead of a billion dollar game developer.

>>713365913 (OP)
>developer
Who is that developer? Why are game jurnos making clickbait articles without mentioning who this is?

>>713366742
What’s girlboss about Ciri?

>>713366378
yeah why not just make things up who cares not like /v/tards have critical thinking skills

>>713365913 (OP)
>>713366105
if they made her look young and sexy no one would complain
but they made her an ugly bogged old hag

>>713366873
So you're not ahead of the billion dollar game developer. That's fine. I'm not here to educate you.

>>713366873
Disingenuous retard.

>>713366105
Not a smug, overconfident, antigod, lesbo Ciri.

>>713366972
>>713367021
>can’t back up his own claim
Pathetic

>>713366378
Even with Witcher powers the world and its people are shown as some of the scariest in all of media. Geralt died in the books in a black friday stampede lol. They won’t put that in any games or movies and he gets revived so it doesn’t matter.

>>713365913 (OP)
One day those woke retards will understand that 100% of the people make their opinion BEFORE throwing 80 bucks at a game so asking to make an opinion after buying the game is pure insanity.

>>713365913 (OP)
I don't want to play as Ciri. Her story has been done and completed fucking twice now. Just have a custom character like in Cyberpunk and be done with it. Retarded fucking hacks.

>>713365913 (OP)
Imagine the sheer amount of trannies that this game is going to make lmao.

>>713365913 (OP)
What are they afraid of lmao? Who hurt them? Let people type words, how does a random opinion of a random person affect you, your job, your workplace or the product you work on in real life? Lmao insecure nerds, imagine making thousands of euros per month and instead being happy and work on your house, hobbies, get some medical checks, go to the gym, take a vacation, have fun with your woman, buy a car, read etc. you worry about a random dude saying things about a bunch of pixels on screen that were arranged by you in a certain form. ROFLMAO.

>>713366105
I think you know what happened in the past decade, anon. Video games are changing and going back to what they used to be.

>>713366105
She's too OP. Also, her becoming a witcher is the most retarded plot twist ever.
>A literal one-hit-kill indestructible goddess at the end of Witcher 3
>They'll remove her powers via a retcon, because fuck you that's why
>She's now a witcher, even though only a few % of children survived mutations
>Neither Geralt nor Yennefer stopped her from committing almost a certain suicide
It's retarded, that's what it is.

>>713366735

>>713365913 (OP)
>Niggersradar
Kill yourself nigger

>>713365913 (OP)
I don't want to play as Ciri. She is the worst part about Witcher 3. So I will voice my opinion whenever I want.

>>713366105
Politics brainrotted retards that don't play games infest online discussion, herded by their eceleb commissars.

>>713365913 (OP)
You can tell CDPR hired some crazy karen from bongland or leafland as PR and she is used to berate consumers
They self destroy in most cases, so let them talk

Yboi outee making opinyins n sheet nigga shut yo pasty ahh up

>>713367805
Have they confirmed she's an actual Witcher who has undergone the trials? I thought the entire point of her was that while she wasn't a "proper" Witcher, she had her elf-space magic to make up for it.

Hope they don't do a "she underwent the mutations, but that removed her powers" asspull.

>>713367805
>Neither Geralt nor Yennefer stopped her from committing almost a certain suicide
The only way to get the good ending in TW3 is if you (Geralt) let Ciri make her own decisions.

>>713365913 (OP)
But I ignored the show when it was about Ciri rather than Geralt so I have already formed opinions about this MC change.

>>713366105
If they had released Ciri Game IV ten years ago, people would have loved it. Problem is, over the past decade game developers overplayed their hands and made a few too many games starring strong independent girlboss protagonists, and now people are sick and tired of the trope. Customers are so sick of it that if you announce your game has a female protagonist, people will immediately assume you're doing the meme for woke points and dismiss your game offhand.

It's funny, if they introduced Samus or Lara Croft today, people would boo because they're so sick of the tired cliche. And game devs have no one to blame but themselves.

>>713365913 (OP)
I don't buy games from devs that have time to scold me before their game is out.

>>713366873
All modern western female characters are girlbosses until proven otherwise.

>>713368552
>And game devs have no one to blame but themselves.
And that's why they're lashing out in anger at you, their customers. They're like women, they're allergic to taking responsibility for their own actions. Maybe it has something to do with the increase of female employees at game studios. Who can say for sure.

>>713368268
Yes. And she can drink potions and has cat-eyes.
>>713368287
Except for ONE decision you make for her. Because if you allow her to decide whether she wants to meet her father, you're getting the Empress ending and Witcher 4 doesn't happen.

>>713366105
Yeah, those 12 people (aka. resetera and twitter tards) are getting the exact game they wanted. Sucks to be everyone else.

>>713365913 (OP)
I'm just not interested in Ciri's story
I don't care if they call it The Witcher 4, they still removed what caught my interest to begin with
Changing the main protagonist after several entries leading with them in a heavily story focused game/movie tends to alienate people and is extremely difficult to pull off in a satisfying way

>>713365913 (OP)
Then what the fuck are the trailers for if not for me to have an opinion on the game before it comes out?

>>713366105
1) Everyone got negatively polarized by the bad faith actors on the other side to the extent that they became easy marks for the bad faith actors on their own side. In a vacuum, almost everyone recognizes that a non-standard protag can be done well and in fact add depth to a game. In practice, it's so easy to trigger someone with ragebait spin that no non-standard protag will ever meet the ever-goalpost shifting criteria of a "well done characterization".
2) The industry realized low brow action schlock primarily appeals to shiftless young men and not as much to other demos they were chasing. They tried like hell to get young women interested in action games and they just gravitated towards life/dating/farming sim games instead. And obviously the high brow, cultured audience just isn't that big to begin with. If you want your action game to sell, you have to pander to chuds.

>>713366105
>For years after TW3 people wanted a Ciri focused game
you're full of shit. everyone was saying B&W was a great ending and CDPR should either leave it alone or do something in the universe that is separated from the main cast of the original series.
also everyone hated the Ciri sections in the books too.

>>713366105

Who? Leftist game journos and feminist retards?

>>713365913 (OP)

if the chud doesn't like it then it's the right choice, yeah that worked pretty well before

>>713365913 (OP)
Just like they shouldn't have made opinions about Cyberpunk until it came out, huh?

>>713368734
The neon heart over her pussy is a little on-the-nose, no?

If I'm not supposed to "make opinions before the game is out" then why do these retards spend millions of dollars on marketing and show me footage before the game is out? Or do they want me to form "positive opinions" of the game from what I've seen?

>>713365913 (OP)
i honestly dont want to play as ciri. choosing a school and creating your own witcher would have been far better.

>>713366105
in these RPGs you are basically playing clint eastwood from the dollars movies. It's already a big stretch to take that kind of cartoon masculinity seriously without also making me play a woman

>>713366105
The fuck? Nobody ever wanted that

>>713365913 (OP)
You WILL play as Ciri and you WILL be happy

>>713365913 (OP)
I think CDPR is supremely overrated and do not respect them as a developer. I also believe narrative RPGs are a misguided genre fraught with internal contradictions. Player agency and narrative direction just don't mesh well. I don't particularly mind female protags, but I'm gleefully anticipating CDPR reaping the consequences of the chud edgelord audience they've sowed.

>>713365913 (OP)
I'll be honest, I don't want to play as a fucking girl in a Witcher game. When boys say girls are fucking gay it's not them being immature, it's the truth of the universe. There has never been a good female protagonist that wasn't carried by her sex appeal. I don't want gooner protagonist in a Witcher game either, it doesn't fit. Give me a guy. The only archetype that fits these games is a Geralt or a Shepard.
I don't make the rules, it just do be like that.

You heard them: shut up and pay up

you are imagining things
nobody except for braindead normies wanted ciri as a protag
she makes the shittiest protag ever. she CAN'T be a witcher, it's a plothole and makes lore of witchers from past 3 games irrelevant

>>713365913 (OP)
Game devs should simply stfu about their game before it comes out, and definitely should not answer fan questions or complaints. There needs to be a distance between creators and consumers.

>>713370261
>women are finally tired of girlbosses
Grifters whose audience are right-wing idiots are finally tired of girlbosses*

>>713370725
Yeah! Indie games work the best when they have 0 marketing and no one knows the game exists when it launches!

People still do. Unfortunately CDPR is giving us some Mary Sue in the shape of Ciri.

>>713371036
you don't have to explain it to me
all im saying is that Ciri as main protag makes NO SENSE at all
can't use witcher signs, can't drink brew and drink potions, has no knowledge about monsters, has no witcher sense etc. etc.
and she has her own stupid superpower, she's literally a Mary Sue
CDP could buy rights from DC to put Superman as main character, it would make no difference

>>713366105
Ghostbusters 2016 and everything that came after.

that's what happened.

>>713371473
I doubt GB2016 had that big an impact. It was a factor sure but only a part of the entire equation of everything going on in US culture at the time

There are no monsters here ... only men.

I wanted a witcher game where you made your own character.
The main story was the weakest part anyway.

>THE AGE OF MEN IS OVER
what did they mean by this?

reminder there are more american people working in CDPR nowadays than polish
there is a reason the trailer looked like diablo

>>713371836
Ciri in the books and earlier games is not a Mary Sue. She's weak and vulnerable and can't control her elder blood powers. She needs help from Geralt and Yennefer.

Ciri in The Cirier IV is a Mary Sue. She's just so dang awesome and cool that she can survive the (lost) trial of the grasses by herself without breaking a sweat, because that's how strong women really are you stupid little boy. Now pay us for the privilege you small-penised loser.

>>713366105
and it was the obvious sequel too, one of the endings it's clear that gerald is ''retiring'' and making Ciri to the work

>>713366105
Aside from the culture shift, nobody wanted or expected her to be an actual Witcher that had done Trial of Grasses and all.

>>713365913 (OP)
doesn't matter, they betrayed me when they nerfed witcher 3. they gave us all those sizzle reels and then they dared to fucking nerf the game when it came out on pc. that, is just will not forgive. we could have had what those sizzle reels of their promised us, boys! but they betrayed us and our trust and gave us a nerfed down crapfest, instead! never forget! never forgive!

>>713370429
>nobody except for braindead normies wanted ciri as a protag

TW3 has sold 60 million copies, who the fuck do you think these people are? 55M chuds and 5M normies who happened to stumble upon this little indie game?

>>713372473
>55M chuds and 5M normies
Unironically yes.

>>713365913 (OP)
You would think that after the success of the DLCs and the positive reaction to them they would have tried to move on from the boring main cast and explore more of the world but nope, enjoy your femgeralt with choosen one powers.
Like onions wars has to always be about the skywalkers.

>>713366105
Fk off you cunt
Lambert is literally the only guy that deserves a standalone game from W3
If it's Ciri then it better pick off days after the ending instead of this cringe time jump shit

>>713366105
>Monsters are Monsters?
>Men are the real Monsters!

>>713365913 (OP)
It will play out with me not buying the game.
Ciri could be the protagonist of a spin-off game. She isn't fit to be the protagonist of a mainline Witcher game. How do you even make any sense of it? She's too powerful and important to hunt monsters for a living and she doesn't even like doing it. Geralt was a great protagonist because he felt down to Earth and fit the narrative. He was (peak) human and felt vulnerable when facing overwhelming odds. Ciri is a god in CDPR version of the Witcher world.
Forget the low hanging fruit of making this a political thing. Just forget about all of that shit. If you do that, Ciri being the protagonist is still a dogshit idea.
I hope the game is a massive fucking flop and CDPR goes bankrupt because I'm tired of shitty devs pushing dumb ideas that clearly don't work and refuse to listen to fan feedback.

>>713366105
Did you even play TW3? Ciri's "gameplay" was the most boring part about it, anyone who claimed that they wanted a Ciri-focused game were just AGP faggots who saw the bathhouse scene and wanted more masturbation material.

Matter of fact, the books get really fucking unbearable whenever Ciri has her scenes too. Just a boring character in general.

>>713368890
Not gonna lie
I still hate that Nero faggot and the general direction of dmc past 3
At least trish had some sick animations in dmc 4

It’s going to be a feminist game and Ciri is going to be desexualized. I can also tell there will be something akin to rape at some point, talks about empowerment, moments where Ciri owns some old white male chuds and leaves them speechless, etc

Telling me I’m wrong or delusional is just gaslighting and you know it

>>713372473
Most normies align with chuds ideologically they just don't broadcast it to the world because they're too busy not being autistic terminally online faggots.

I don't have issues with female mcs, but Witcher was literally a male power fantasy.
Fucking retarded decision.

>>713365913 (OP)
Honestly, it's really stupid.
Ciri somehow manages to get her hands on The Cat School's Trial of the Grasses and that explains how she's a Witcher.

>>713372943
Normies don't care about this culture war shit. They'll play a game if it's good, no matter who's the protagonist.

Why the fuck would they make any kind of statement? Are they retarded? They already made a controversial decision, making any kind of statement is just going to add gas to the fire. if the game is good, they won't have to defend anything.

>>713373379
Guaranteed she's going to miraculously rediscover the ritual in some secret cave or some retarded asspull and administer it on herself using girl power. Screenshot this post.

>>713366105
Yeah, as badass magician like you play her in W3 not as another Witcher that takes away what makes her special.

I actually like Ciri and I did want a Ciri game but not a full fledged sequel trilogy all about her. Ciri's game could have been a neat one off, more of an ARPG instead of full blown open world adventure RPG. Give me a trilogy of OC donut steel Witchers from their first era, where schools are basically classes for the player to choose. Or even young Vesemir over a century before the books and games.

I'm so tired of strong female protagonists. I'm not buying anything with them in it.

this time they probably did. we're in the middle of a social shift and people are becoming aware of it. being edgier, push back more and more against needless inclusivity. it probably would have done well a few years ago, now it's honestly gonna be a toss up on how it's received. one of those situations where they can't afford to miss imo

>>713366105
Girlboss fatigue. I started to avoid anything with female MC like a plague. Be it movies,tv shows or video games. Girlboss shit now is on par with another Stallone or Van Damme flick in early 20s. Like we have been on that shit for last decade,im out.

>>713373891
Nah, Shazam won with CP2077, that’s undeniable. They ended up making money but it was a MASSIVE blow to their reputation. They went from the beloved, flawless dev that could do no wrong to just another AAA company. There’s a reason most TW3 reactions are skepticism or just ‘meh’ rather than ridiculous hype and enthusiasm

>>713372847
the best part about ciri was the sex videos someone made. Other than that, she’d just a small side character.

>Have they confirmed she's an actual Witcher who has undergone the trials?
Yeah I'm pretty sure they did, if seeing her with potions and inhuman eyes wasn't enough of a giveaway. The lore is raped & gaped.

Yeah you will have to show some proof of that champ.
Nobody asked for a Ciri game, maybe some trannoid journo.
Everyone else was expecting a nameless OG witcher.

(I mean rape)

>>713371962
Yeah me too, except not just different kinds of Witchers but also other characters from the universe. Wizards and sorceresses, some elven and dwarven classes and so on. It was the perfect opportunity to use the world for a game with more flexibility now that they already have a trilogy focused on Geralt, but no, no we get more of the same except it's Ciri and they broke the lore to make her as generic as possible as well. It's all ass.

>>713366105
People would tolerate a Ciri focused game but not as a Witcher because she has a fundamentally different power set and

However between rewrites, recodings, layoffs, studio moves, bad press, and Indian graphics farm fuckups, it'll probably be more like 2029.

How is Ciri waifufag poster going to feel when this board is going to get spammed with Ciri's lesbian scenes? (game is going to be full of them)

>>713366105
Porn addiction. That's the difference. It's harder for people to get pleasure so every woman has to be a gacha slut. There's no joy in critical thinking from the withered pleasure center. So anger is abused in order to feel something. Less resources, opportunities, and less influence over media so people fantasize they have influence over politics and make everything politics. People forget they wanted a Zelda game. Shat on that. Only liked Linkle because she was an obsessive fap slut introduced in a game with a big titty brown witch.

>>713377331
havent played a fatlus game since persona 4 in.....2008? 2009?
are you a little kid or something, what does fatlus even have anything to do with someone not liking your slavic slop

Then my statement clearly doesn't apply to those particular people.

>>713366105
We still do, it's just fucked up how they took Ciri and made her a Fem-Witcher. It goes against established lore. A normal ass Ciri game would have been welcome, doing this weird virtue signaling female space marine thing with her is just retarded.

>>713377695
There is literally nothing wrong about the game.

Also nobody is saying Ciri can't be a protagonist, they're saying Ciri can't be a *witcher* because it violates established lore. Take it back to your Bluesky echo chamber, tourist tranny.

>>713377872
Having her call herself a Witcher would've been fine too, but for some reason they thought she would be "lesser" if she wasn't a true Witcher despite being the most powerful character in the story

So do people who does play games with females as the main protagonist not watch films with females as the main protagonist? If so, you retards have missed a lot of good films.

I have never wanted this. Who did? The Ciri parts of Witcher 3 weren't good.

Worse thing is i was really looking forward to the game when i thought it was gonna be a custom character.

>>713379337
What is it with chuds and inventing random shit to be mad at? The only reason no one thinks about that game, is that it's a fucking shit game that nobody cares about.

You will see in the sales exactly how many women will support you. Exactly how far their fragile hands can carry your doomed business.

I watched the old stuff like Underworld, Resident Evil, Nikita, etc that were aimed at dudes, yes. Today's stuff like She-Hulk, Furiosa or Rey's Star Wars aimed at women? Not at all. Western gaming is aimed at women.

>CD Projekt Red has confirmed that there will be romance options in The Witcher 4 (Project Polaris).
>CD Projekt Red has stated that romance is an integral part of their storytelling and human nature, so they wouldn't tell a "full story" without it.
>It's worth noting that Ciri's sexuality has been depicted as fluid in the books, with romantic and intimate relationships with both men and women.
>The Witcher 4 could offer a wider range of romance options compared to Geralt's primarily heterosexual relationships in the previous games, allowing for more player freedom and representation.
Get ready for lesbian NTR!

>>713366105
I don't mind it, they just as usual went about it in the most nu gaming they could. She already had powers and her own way to fight and they turned her into female Geralt anyway. And that is if you ignore the very obvious attempt at adjusting themes and her design for "modern audiences" (as seen in the initial marketing) and are now panicking because of how "well" other recent titles went that did that. It's ironic how the headline of the article is practically word for word how these other dev studios tried salvage their slop.
>please wait until you bought the deluxe edition + dlc until you criticize the shit we are oblivious trying to pull
Yeah no, and especially not when most of the gaming industry is at negative value benefit of the doubt.

I always skip games with female protags. They never make them actually true to a woman (having periods or NPCs not wanting to give you quests etc).

What's most retarded about Ciri though is she isn't a Witcher.

I wanted to make my own Witcher, not play as fucking Ciri. They did a decent job with V, cyberpunk is good after the updates. Geralt’s story has had 3 games and DLC now, I’m getting a little tired of him/Ciri/Yen.

>>713365913 (OP)
>players shouldn't "make opinions" until the game is out
That's retarded. I'm looking forward to Ciri's game despite not liking that they made her a mutated witcher. They've explained that they wouldn't have done that without a very good reason storywise so I will give them the benefit of the doubt.
Still, it's good for people to express their concerns about the game and for developers to take note of it like the lore and Ciri's bogged face in the first trailer. Without critique they would just serve us whatever slop they come up with and call it a day. They should feel pressured into giving us a good game.

>>713365913 (OP)
I really don't care.
Ciri was "good" idea 10 years ago. Now it's just pure fatigues because every game now has a female mc and they have continuously substituted the male mc of the series.
Pass, I'm not interested in another boss woman game.

I'm just glad I don't like fantasy as a genre anymore, a few years ago this would have definitely pissed me off. But I make an effort nowadays to avoid any game that has elves, magic and "monsters" in them. Sorry that your Witcher series got ruined bros.

Trump and incels brainwashed a generation of boys

Beyond the lore fuckery I just think turning Ciri into an actual mutated Witcher is really boring. Ciri using her own abilities to make up for the ones she lacks would've been interesting, instead she's just gonna be "Geralt but a girl now"
