What exactly did CDPR mean by this?

Isnt Gerald like the least like male vidya protagonist in gaming.

nobody wants to play as an angry woman that hates men. this is going to bomb real hard.

I read the damn books and Witcher Ciri makes no sense.

Shut up and eat the slop goy

What did xhe mean by this?

it's real

Deserved.

You can't just have Mario for every single game

it doesn't matter what you read in the books, that's the point
from the opening moments of Witcher 1 where Geralt stumbles out of an amnesiac fugue state, all bets were off and they did that to allow a clean slate for the player, and Geralt as a character, to relearn these things and reintroduce themselves to the world
it may well say this shit in the books, which are old, but the games, which are newer, have gone out of their way to cover for that best as possible, and you would have to be dummy retarded to play Witcher 3 for more than ten minutes without realising "ok so this is the next witcher"

it's basic fucking trope anatomy

all voice actors, writers, and jews should be killed, like straight down the list of sag-aftra members

I played the games, Witcher Ciri still makes no sense.

I played the games, they are awful and cdpr is the most overrated studio of all time, even worse than r*

how does she not, the first fucking sequence in witcher 3 is all about Geralt training Ciri

as a gamer, in a gameplay mechanical sense, what could that be for?

What? Ciri appears like 50 hours into a playthrough ~10 hours before the game ends LMAO and the vast majority of players never made it past the bloody baron yet alone into Kaer Morhen.

Consume the slop goy

a 1 minute flashback sequence made for gameplay introduction purposes should dictate the future of a billion dollar franchise

My fucking sides LMAO

Witcher 3 is the game that made me realize the world is full of normies and I’m not one of them

meant for

oh okay that's fair as fuck
I'm actually watching a mate play it right now whenever I see him and I've played through Witcher 1
and it's a BIG GAME, Witcher 3, so I'm only getting bits
that's absolutely fair
however
anybody with a very basic understanding of how these tropes are developed and created in these mediums should know that the way the plot is centered around Ciri would lead to the next game being Ciri

regahdless of plot lore or whatever

they sat down and were like "SO WHAT DO WE DO FOR WITCHER 4 THEN" and obviously thats what was going to happen
really I'm mad people didn't have the foresight to realise this was going to happen before it happened and then be mad about it then

writer writes a waifu for himself, later dyke feminists latch onto it to claim it for lesbo feminism, many such cases

basic goddamn tropes, mate

you're getting mad at me
what you should actually be getting mad at is what they're gonna do to Geralt that fucks Ciri up so badly she decides to try becoming a witcher despite the fact that's insane women-talk
fucking think about that now

I wanted a new character not Ciri. Her story was already wrapped up

I don't give a shit what voice actors think

there NEEDS to be a Witcher 4!

Just fucking retire franchises, god damn. Witcher is the Geralt franchise, when you retire him, just end the fucking series and do something else. Or make a series of Ciri games set in the same universe, just don't call it Witcher 4. That way you wouldn't need to go out of your way to make her a Witcher, either. She could just do wacko mage knight shit or whatever, and you wouldn't have to drag along the divisive albatross of having to make her into something she can't be.

Why are video game devs and writers so fucking retarded?

The Ciri segments in books were horrendous and liked by no one

The Ciri segments in W3 were horrendous and liked by no one

Let's make Ciri protag of W4

Yeah, you really should read the books. Nothing will make you appreciate old CDPR and the veritable MOUNTAIN of changes they made to most characters to make them actually likeable more.

Killing the franchise is a favor to humanity and the best thing cdpr will ever accomplish

nah the original Witcher 3 scripts made it clear her story would more or less end at the tower

The original idea for Witcher 4 was some make your own character mmoRPG slop that got canned like the first few drafts of Cyberpunk

The game is Witcheress 4 for ESGbux and to satisfy schizos like pic related because they are already balls deep in the corporate structure

No, that sequence was never meant to expand on anything. It was a last minute addition to explain gameplay mechanics and introduce characters to newfags

nigga will end up like joel and kratos - eveyone knows that

yes
have you perchance noticed what medium of fiction this is?
yes indeed

they were always going to do that and as I've pointed out, everyone is mad about Ciri, nobody is asking where Geralt is, which is a more pressing issue

You can't just have my money for every single game. If you think making a woke game is a good idea, read the damn thread.

always going to do that

As explained to you by others - nope. W3 was supposed to be the final Witcher game just like Windows 10 was supposed to be the final version - turns out corporations do not want to abandon their money printers

where Geralt is

Busy passing the torch to globohomo

nigga will end up like joel and kratos - eveyone knows that

and as mad as people are
dude it's gonna be way worse
but for the purposes of it being a video game, if they needed to introduce a new player character from the cast of characters already introduced to take over from Geralt, it would be Ciri and it's because they have a surrogate father-daughter relationship that Ciri would feel she needed to live up to
Geralt was probably a very important person to Ciri

it's not that weird actually at all, people do these kind of things

when they lose someone they love

he first fucking sequence in witcher 3 is all about Geralt training Ciri

and the point at the end is Ciri is grown up, follows her own path
Ciri becoming Empress is the good ending, Ciri becoming a witcher, is a childhood fantasy, especially if she takes the mutations which make her sterile, when both Geralt and Yennefer always struggled with not being able to have kids, would never support her in that choice
witcher Ciri is just to milk a recognizable name, not lore friendly

what level of simpleton are you on that the implication of multiple endings is that there's one canon ending and not that none of them are canon endings

Yeah, I'm just not playing Witcher 4, simple as.
Should've went with the Cyberpunk 2077 custom protagonist route.

game has an ending where ciri dies

if you analyze all the data on tropes in storytelling from chatgpt it's clear this was the only option for the series going forward

don't you guys ever get tired of coming here?

instead of attacking my argument, you attack my reputation
look I'm talking about storytelling in video games
I'm not surprised by ciri being witcher 4
I think it's weak that you are
I think you're weak
grow the fuck up

W3 was supposed to be the final Witcher game

both ciri and geralt's plot is wrapped up at the end of the game. ciri fufils her destiny and saves the world. geralt retires in his wineyard.

if you'd told the 2007 dev team to make ciri the protagonist they'd have laughed in your face. people play the witcher to kill monsters and fuck witches.

Should've went with the Cyberpunk 2077 custom protagonist route

Except CP2077 doesn't have a "custom protagonist", not really. It has street gangbanger V in male, female, and troon editions. As long as they insist on having voiced protagonists, there will never be a custom one.

God loves punishing faggots with ass cancer (deserved)

I just dont want to play as a girl haha.
Gl with your game anyway.

look I'm talking about storytelling in video games

No one cares gtfo out of vidya tranny

No one thought any of that shit, what part of that fact do you fail to understand?

hello klaus of blackrock globohomo, we need a 6 gorillion dollar loan to publish more goyslop

INTRODUCE ZE DEI CHIN FEMALE CHARACTER

This picture shows exactly 0 things that CDPR said.

You can't just have Gerslt for every single gsme

Why not?

Read the damn books

Hell no

Says VA

Who the fuck played this shit with the english dub? kys

instead of attacking my argument, you attack my reputation

lol didn't even read the first line of the post, dumb faggot.

It means you are no longer the target audience and they dont want your money.

Pure contrarianism, I was there in the fandom in 2015, everyone was begging for a Ciri game or dlc.

Witcher 3 won GOTY over Bloodborne btw

You can't just have Geralt for every single game

Why not? Not that I'm against following a new Witcher, but Ciri is just a boring character. Make a game about the prequel niggas, they have some cool as shit lore surrounding them and a lot of them have already been teased in the games.

It doesn't matter if it's accurate to the books, the story. it doesn't matter if you have a bunch of arguments as to why Ciri as the protag makes sense. I don't want to invest in a 100+ hour RPG to play as a chick. It's my money, and it's not leaving my wallet. Simple as

I was in the fandom 2005 - 2017 and everyone wanted to play as Geralt gołydupiec rawdogging hot bitches

Kill yourself faggot

Holy fucking BASED

Why not? Mario has like 50 games

I was there in the fandom in 2015, everyone was begging for a Ciri game or dlc.

why lie? everyone was saying B&W was the perfect ending to the series, and most only wanted to see another witcher only if they did a story that was disconnected from the events TW1-3.

Total Sorceress Annihilation

already running damage control

you will get to see CDPR go bankrupt within the next few years

Witcher 4 flop is going to be the most feel good flop of gaming history.

This game is a flop 10 years in the making. Imaging making a decision what will undoubtedly result in your product failing and having to live with it for a decade. All it would take is a single person speaking out and nobody was willing. Good riddance, I supported CDPR through the cyberpunk launch, but even I can't support this.

Wow even slop globblers can’t stomach this one

in two weeks
just like how saarfield bankrupted bethesda

My wife's trilogy cannot flop. 50 millions sales per game minimum.

use popular ip

don't use the character that made the ip popular

it beguiles the mind, it's like they want the game to fail.

Just like how BG3 and KCD2 flopped, isnt?

Roachmongold got a real job?

theyre literally trying to convince people ciri witcher will be good when all the ciri parts in witcher 3 were dogshit unnecessary filler gameplay. its not even about woke or girlboss because cyberpunk was woke and had girl bosses but everyone still liked it, the problem is that no one gives a shit about ciri, she was eye candy in w3 and may as well been one of the whores in the brothel doesnt mean people want to play as her

Cooe, seethe and dilate tranny shills

Bethesda has blank checks from Microsoft

CDPR has nothing

leftism is a death cult so yeah

bg3

chinkshit botted by gooks

kcd2

The White man is still too afraid to stand up against turbokikes. Soon (tm)

Many such cases

It's gonna be hard for it to feel better than Veilguard.

act sassy about your woke agenda being superior

get critizised

double down

game releases

gets utterly obliterated by chuddha

veilguard trannies and journos seething till this day

CDPR isn't really doing any of that. It's just that one voice actor for that one character acting like a faggot

This shit is the kind of scenario where nobody wins. Sure, these games didn't flop and kill their studios. But they also confirmed just how many tasteless NPCs there truly are, which is just a fucking dire realization. Video games are fucked. It's going to be nothing but AI-developed, poorly running, poorly written, modern day hot button political topic pandering slop from here on out.

CDPR isn't really doing any of that

lol
lmao

this isn't about wokeism, it's about changing your target audience in the middle of the saga
think about it, people play the witcher for the power fantasy, they want to be geralt the witcher slaying dragons, saving the world and hooking up with hot ladies. a female protagonist doesn't offer that.

everyone is stupid but me

Maybe the problem here is you.

I can reprise my same CaC in all 3 BG games so your argument doesn't apply

Damn, I missed those threads. Aarrrgh, I'm mad, so mad! I hate pussy! Stop oppressing me!

Saar the woke does the needful, is it?

former journo who said thing sometime in the past

great now give me an actual thing that an actual representative of the company said, not some random faggot who slithered into the company

I want official new Claymore games

one random person speaks for 4000 people

Retard

witcher 3

listening to gay hunters who are shunned from the village for being gay, but that doesn't stop them from telling everyone they are gay, because that one worked out so well when still living in the village

retard game for retarded people

trannyfaggot pollocks, glad they're been overrun and replaced with Ukrainians hopefully azov hangs these faggots from lampposts

Ask and you shall receive you absolute degenerate faggot

Seethe harder cuck

Doesn’t pass

I for one love Ciri as a character and can't wait to play as her again (hopefully they don't completely take away her elder blood powers)

Geralt's VA isn't CDPR's employee

You have to be soulless not to like Ciri after reading the books. My poor daughter has suffered so much...

Ciris fate differs drastically depending on what Geralt chose. her story is done and even if you want to retcon it, her going through the mutations is the dumbest shit you can ever come up with

She is a magical mary sue, have her go on cross dimensional shenanigans in milfguard palace intrigues while having some basic sword skill play as legacy from her days as a Geralt trainee

Forcing her into a witcher is the most cringe penis envy/butch dyke/fem supremacist power fantasy you can come up with

I don't give a shit about this franchise anymore, played the trilogy, enjoyed it a lot, now I let it rest and pretend this new game never happens, won't be wasting any money on it

it means he's crashing out like a little bitch because nobody likes woke shit and he's stomping his feet like a faggot.

The only thing without soul is cpdr

karma is like pottery

crashing out

Are you black or do zoomers say this now? Actually not hating either way just curious

No it's not. The majority of normies is just undeniably, objectively retarded and tasteless.

former journo

None of those woke faggots are journalists, at best subpar propagandists and they never move on

sometime in the past

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Under the given context - yes

I watch too much YouTube. it's a zoomer thing. I should have said he was having a bitch fit

Do people really want another geralt game? Especially after that perfect sendoff that was blood and wine?
Are you guys retarded?

personally I don't want to buy anything from cdpr anymore regardless of what it is.

random faggots can become franchise and lore designers

And what does that tell you about the corporation at hand? Go on and answer, don't be shy.

2020

hundreds of hags and troons

do those cunts actually work there or just sit on their asses and moderate the forums or edit GoG store page all day?

I distinctly remember them shitting on the books althoughbeit

I want a prequel with this brick shithouse and his friends in a stand alone story of their time pre milfguard employment

Mario plot is centered around saving the princess the same as w3, yet the next Mario games are not expected to be peach games

You are full of shit, fuck you

If you call subversion work then yeah

Geralt should never have been the protagonist, he's basically dead in the ending of the books and Ciri is the protagonist for half of them
The games are just shitty fanfiction from people who never liked the series

But hohols are 100 times bigger fags.

Yes.

Witcher characters are ugly as shit. I never touched that game so specifically because the ugly characters

W4 is gonna be an unmitigated disaster unless the retarded CEO steps in time to tardwrangle or fire these cunts and troons.

The bigger they are..

tardwrangling in the middle of development

nah, he will just decay in his cunny dungeon

Rockstar blizzard and us

LMFAO what a faggot retard

You're mad at the guy who made 80% of the slop you're comsooming because "he hurt the feelings of the big billionaire corporation"?

30mil copies later

If I can't just have Geralt for every single game then there's no problem if you can't just have my money every time you release a game! Ohm!

A kindred soul

*enter*

what a nice guy, and he is doing meets and fuck these days

instagram.com/dougcockle/p/DKAxHsbo-xx/

Pretty much this, dropped GoG when they came out with the ESG pilpul and haven't bought anything from those faggots since and never will.

pilpul

nigger they started as greymarket CD smugglers hence the name, did a lot of shady shit to get onto the stock market and sell out ASAP

It's like a deer being mad the truck he spent 20 seconds looking at hit him

SeedyPR bent over eventually. Still wont be buying though LOL

Where's TESVI Todd?

You actually can have Geralt as the protagonist for every game. That's the cool part about making video games, you can make them however you want.

It’s coming.
Right after I rerelease all my games on ue5.

you will buy witcher 4 and play as ciri, and if you don't you're a sexist incel anti woke chud.

I don’t think it changed anon I think the perspective is different. Nose, laugh line, lips, eyes, chin and jaw are the same thing, I don’t know what you’re seeing here

Wet and fun?

A man got cancer and you're laughing?

Still looks like shit and nothing like Ciri, I'm not even touching this turd with a ten foot pole.

girl turns 14

TOO OLD

Not exactly. Those anons are kinda sad actually because they guy survived.

it was always gonna be about ciri
actual people are not complaining about that
they're complaining that they're making her a witcher when there is no reason to do that whatsoeer

Are you brown or genuinely retarded?

UE5

Not even Bethesda would be retarded enough to retire the engine that makes their games unique for UE5slop

these things are not mutually exclusive, anon

lucky fuck has a full head of hair

becomes a tranny

Fucking wasted on shits like that.

I would if she was hot and into femdom.

It literally says what is says or do you have bad reading comprehension? you fucking retard.

But doesn't punish the muslims raping white kids in the UK

From three love interest sidekicks to three powerful CEOs.

Yeees yeees. Very convicting.

God doesn't hate the UK enough

Horse armor proves Todd’s utter retardation has the ability to change gaming forever

You’re one of the hearts of the beast system, it’ll only get worse

If you read the books it also doesn't make sense

she's some kind of elf blood mary sue with teleport powers, she could be a sorceress probably, but becoming a witcher means you nerf all your spellcasting power and the exchange here is basically she probably dies and has to give up all her political power and influence from her birthright but maybe she will survive the process and get to be a shunned monster-human who lives in the muck wandering around the world hated by almost everyone just so she can hit monsters with metal until they die

it's so fucking retarded considering what she's capable of

it's like super saiyan goku downgrading himself and removing his super saiyan powers so he can go back to fighting like a normal human in a dojo somewhere, except you're trying to make that into some kind of epic heroic adventure

the entire premise is so flat what the actual fuck are they doing

Blah blah my story structure conherence plot sensibility blah gay fag gayyyy
Maybe all you Witcher trannies should just stick to reading books and stop ruining video games

CDPR

He's a faggot voice actor. The higher ups cringe when they say stuff like this and there are "news" stories.

I don't think he read the books either

how is this supposed to make a good game

It would've been cool if they stuck with what ciri actually is and made a political-intrigue game with ciri having sorcereress powers

thats new and interesting and conceptually different from prior witcher games while staying true to the books and the prior games both

instead they are just genderswapping geralt and trying to do the same witcher game over again

The witcher is not a developed enough world to explore like middle-earth, it is meant to be Geralt's story foremost

it doesn't need to be a developed world, the games can add whatever and that work is what develops the world

I don't understand what you're trying to argue here

stunlock raping

It means that the game is gonna be shit.

It’s never cool because it’s a moviegame.
