The Witcher 4 Thread

[Vergil]

@rusty_shackleford would it be a bannable offense to DM a member of the forum with an sfm animation of ciri getting her severed head ****** in the throat hole?

I'm not sure if you're not just Red7's alt-account

He would be MY alt not the other way around you kaffir.

You're in luck because they'll stop making Witcher games when the Ciri one will flop.

Don't forget about the W1 remake. It will be interesting to see if their wokified remake will lose them any more goodwill.

Iv been holding out on playing W1 because iv heard of a remake being made. But as i understand from a few funny youtube clips iv seen the original has a LOT of things that probably won't fly with todays snowflakes. Bunch of racism, derogatory comments etc Maybe i should just play it despite the weird combat if they gonna make it lame.

Considering CDPR has already stated that they are quite open to remove or modify outdated/controversial content, you might as well either play the original at this point. Specially considering how long you'll have to wait for mods to fix the Remake.

Best case scenario it will be a completely unoptimized, heavily censored shitshow. There is no reason for it to exist anyway, better just contribute to the downfall of CDPR.

Meanwhile, former CDPR designer who worked on W1:

"Designer Karol Kowalczyk, who worked on the original but is no longer at CD Projekt, admitted in 2022 that, ‘It is indeed very disturbing that the game kind of forces you to become a mindless sex addict to get some of those. We failed to see that as when you are testing the game for the 100th time, you start to do it mechanically and don’t really feel those emotions.’ ‘With the experience I have now, I’d leave the drawings in the game, but remove any suggestions that this is a collectible, and also do a review of all the scenes and strip the game of those that were causing mixed feelings,’"

Prequels are for outsourcing something to someone you don't trust.

He's right, btw. Drawings of imaginary naked ladies are the original goyslop.

I'm sure you'd be salivating over those drawings if they were of strapping young lads.

I was joking before, but now I'm definitely convinced that you're a Vergil alt. Because nothing screams "I'm a cop" more than saying "I'm not a cop."

How about an alternate universe where these medicore games based off of lame polish knock off books finally stopped being made so I don't have to keep hearing about it?

You're in luck because they'll stop making Witcher games when the Ciri one will flop.

I don’t know about that. A lot of comsoomers will buy the latest slop regardless of quality if it’s attached to popular franchised.

Not anymore. The ruined economy combined with the obvious low quality of the slop have made a lot of normalfags choosier when it comes to buying something as non-essential as vidya.

The fact Dilate Age failed, and likely Unislops We Wuz Samurai will also fail pretty much proves this

The Outlaws failed despite it being a sandbox game made by Ubisoft set in the Star Wars universe. Ten years ago this would've sold as many copies as GTAV did. But Disney spent this past decade systematically destroying the biggest and most profitable franchise in history and Ubisoft kept Ubisofting its way to bankruptcy and into being bought out by ******.

There's a clear trend in entertainment at the moment, slop is now being rejected nearly wholesale. I assume because the main audience (white men) realise that playing as a dysgenic *****, in a story written by demented feminists is not a compelling entertainment medium.

It is not just that. It is also that these female characters, made by feminists, are not heroic or compelling. It is like; "Oh wow. Story #3895628 about a female protagonists who is ****** over by a white man and with the power that is always inside of her is able to get her revenge at the patriarchal society that shunned her for being le' epic girl boss. She also emasculates the white male villain who is an obvious stand in for the feminist writers father." Contrasts this to your average male hero who goes through trials, loss, temptations, and sacrifice to become the hero that the world needs him to be. I told this to friends last night. You were to ask a man who is the ideal male hero they may say something among the lines of Batman. You ask women that same question and they, 7 out of 10 times, will say Harley Quinn. It is no wonder that entertainment written by women sucks ***.

Your comment reminded me of video half a decade ago about female power fantasy. I never forget the most poignant statement in the video.

“The male power fantasy is about being the hero and saving the day,men fantasize about doing the right thing.The female power fantasy is essentially the exact opposite.Women fantasize about being the villain and getting away with it”


The video in question.

So ******* EASY isn't it, to make money and please their audience.

But as we know, there's more "important" things than that..

No, they have more important things to do then make money which is to force behaviors in their audience and change the world. These fuckers, like the delusional ****** in Marvel's Eternals (By the way that guy is the lead villain in Cuckmann's new fetish sim) thinks they are saving lives with their DEI slop. Of course the ***** and ****** who puppet master these dip shits don't think that but they, the puppets, do which is the problem.

They just lucked out on Cyberpunk and think now they are invincible. All their talk seems already outdated by a few years. I played their games since the release week W1, but I don't think I could stand 60h of snarky girl boss commentary.

It's so crazy to me. The praise for 2077 is completely unwarranted imo. They fixed up a ****** broken game and made it a ****** game. The game has no soul in it at all. It's the epitome of slop. Just like Naughty Dog, their drop off will come soon. It's just the lag.

They played it well to be fair. It was a broken, but pretty mess at release. Pre-Sales numbers still high up. They took their sweet time doing things they should have done a year earlier. And by the time they rolled our their only DLC, the whole product was not bad. Of course woke slop, but in these 3 years they fixed a lot of issues and now thats all what people remember.

Even the Witcher RTX release wasn't total ****. The new quest fits well into the story, there were no ******* or ******** inserted and also otherwise they did not diversify the population.

They barely saved their reputation by the skin of their teeth. However, it will be interesting to see how they fare once the likely W1 Remake debacle launches.

People trying to pretend every flop that gets patched is the new no man's sky. Let me know when you offer a decade of free content & updates to make amends.

That angle clearly worked for them. Whoever was in charge for that, sure got a nice bonus for that.

May I ask you to explain what do you mean when you call cyberpunk 2077 woke? Isn't the normalization of perversion and degeneratism part of the dystopian universe that cyberpunk usually is?

IIt started during the pre-release phase. Male V was intended to be the cover character, but he faced significant backlash from the usual critics, leading CDPR to use Fem V instead.

Additionally, the character creation process hinted at this shift. There were also clear trap sets, as seen with characters like Angel and Skye, clearly trying to encourage players to choose male.

And so much more. Why give me an option to look at her *** when all I get is a snarky remark and I should learn my place?

The presentation clearly seemed designed to mislead. To date, the most upvoted comment on CP Steam simply stated, "Remember, Skye is the chick, and Angel is the dude."

You can make ******** and choose male or female voice regardless of sex.
As for the Anger/Skye issue, you have to visit a brothel in a mandatory story mission and have to choose one of two prostitutes - Angel or Skye. In the earlier versions there was no clear indicator of which one's male or female, not even a "he" or "she" when describing them. Making the names gender neutral is clearly an intentional choice to confuse the player (who's statistically most likely to be a normal man) into picking a male ****** prostitute.
It was complained about often enough that CDPR made a visual graphic in-game that clarified which one's male and which one's female in the more recent patches.
