Love Ciri and can’t wait to see more, but I will miss Geralt. He is also undeniably awesome.
Ok so i just found out about this. Honestly, i saw nothing wrong with the ciri in the trailer. She looked more mature and well aged. Also if i remember correctly the early renders of geralt in the first witcher 3 trailer looked way different to what he looked like on release.
Ciri doesn’t need fans to protect her, she can do all that herself.
I’m seeing more discussion of hate than actual hate when it getting really tiring. People that really hate for the sake of hating will go away on their own when not given attention and it’s making any harder any valid concerns be discussed by grouping all grievances as hatred.
If Wither 4 is truly a masterpiece (or is just great in general), then it’ll be like Red Dead Redemption 2 where people will hate it initially but then it’ll be remembered fondly when it actually comes out.
I do not see much hate on reddit. The only dicussion I see here is that a lot of people wanted to create an own Witcher. But it can be still be a feature in an other game.
I don’t mind Ciri being main protagonist in TW4 but tbh, I want a brand new character and let all all TW3 main characters behind. Except, they can be part of side quests or such helpful NPCs.
I was hoping for a Letho or a Vesemir spinoff, or maybe something more exotic like a Manticore school witcher, but Ciri is perfectly okay in my book.
I am excited to play the new game. I think it will be good!
Now you guys are just being literal White Knights.
I don’t see anyone complaining about Ciri, but the feeds are full of people White Knighting again ‘all’ the people that are mad.
If you are seeing people mad at Ciri, you are subbed to rage bait channels and need to stop.
I will defend my witcheress to the death
Based on how the books ended, I’m more than thrilled that Ciri is the protagonist as it has answered many a question about the “what if?”
I’m fine with people happy with this trailer when I personally don’t but calling people names and insulting them because they have a different opinion than yours just makes you the stereotypical raging leftist or rightoid, stop.
I too loved the trailer and didn’t understand some reactions, sure. But this virtue signaling is just cringe man…
A cringe meme, white knighting for an imaginary girl, while straw maning the concerns of other Witcher fans.
LOL I’ll bite
This is a promo trailer and not the finished product so who the hell knows what we’ll actually get. Its probably 2+ years out.
She can be a “witcher” w/o mutations. CDPR can say she still has her “Elder Blood” plus one ending of W3 is her & Geralt slaying monsters together.
As for the mutations:
Ciri undergoing the full procedure is dumb and doesn’t fit with the books or games. Geralt/Lambert/Esbern are all horrified at the idea of using the trial of the grasses on Uma he’s not going to do that to Ciri. Calling someone an “Incel” for pointing that out is typical Reddit.
I’m gonna miss Geralt. Easily my favorite game protagonist.
I’ve seen more posts complaining about people complaining about ciri than people actually complaining about ciri.
I love the gaslighting going on in here. They did change her face structure, it’s that simple.
You’re kind of cherry picking and exaggerating here, most discourse and fanbase split around the trailer is around her mutations, people preferring self made characters and not wanting to effect the several endings of Witcher 3 and less about Ciris face and gender. And the supposed discourse is mostly discussions and speculations.
Originally didn’t want ciri as the protag since I didn’t like the voice acting but they’ve changed the actress so I’ve no problems anymore
Enough of these posts, they’re more frequent and annoying than people saying she’s ugly.
ciri isn’t a real person
Damn, people really like using those words on anyone who doesn’t like Ciri being the Witcher
I was watching the trailer, saw someone in the crowd with two swords, and got hyped. Then I saw a long white ponytail and absolutely lost my shit.
I think she looks great. There a a few still pictures where she looks a bit off, but in the trailer, I recognized W3-Ciri at several moments. She looks like a fairly faithful, aged version of the Ciri we know with no other changes than her age and a bit more weathered.
My only issue is that I don’t understand how and why she chose to become a “regular” witcher who appears to be at least mutated enough to withstand a potion and she seems to cast signs. Now, I wanted the W4 to have those abilities, which is why I didn’t want Ciri. But they gave her those skills. Did she go through the Trial of the Grasses? Did she do that with a 70% risk of dying? Did they improve those odds or did they find another way? And is the witcher profession still relevant and in demand?
I’m curious about how all that’s explained.
People who cry and complain that Geralt isn’t the protagonist in 4 didn’t even make it out of White Orchard and don’t even know that the book series exists. Having Ciri taking this spot is nothing but expected if you actually completed The Witcher 3, especially if you also did the DLC.
Biggest skill you can learn these days is to drown out thw “anti-woke” hysteria.
she looks slighly older, but i dont have a problem with playing games with female leads. i dont know why this is such a big issue
I have seen 1 or 2 people complaining about her
I have seen about a hundred people like OP decrying the overwhelming tide of hatred coming
It’s so natural for every person critical of something to have the exact same phrase to justify their dislike.
It’s really not clever yall, it happens in every fucking game.
I’m sure a handful of people legitimately mean the “I just wanted a custom character”, but how did that become the expectation of every Witcher critic at the same time, and it just so happens to line up with the game release that has a woman lead?
Lmao.
This is the pattern for these ragebait gamers. They’ve been eating propoganda that is braindead for so long it is integrated into their gut reactions.
But the criticism of the alt-right gamer movement has become equally prevalent, so now they have to gorm their criticism in context of “acceptability”.
So all these dudes get super pissy about a woman’s face being the lead of a game, but it takes a day or two for the echochamber to lock down the “acceptable” reason for such extreme reactions.
Amd then on day 3, every critic is repeating the exact same 1 or 2 criticisms that for some reason applied only to the woman lead game and none of the previous titles.
Nothing wrong with wanting Geralt as the main character to a Witcher game.
It’s extra weird considering Ciri is objectively beautiful.
Geralt’s story was completed in the previous game. Y’know. The one you played, right? If she doesn’t look ‘feminine’ enough for you, touch grass.
My wife has played all the Witcher games, watched the series, read the books, etc. W3 is hands down her favorite game. I told her that W4 is coming out, and Geralt will likely be a supporting character with Ciri as the lead.
She said, “cool”
I think we’ll be ok
