re: The Witcher 4 Reveal Trailer

There’s also passages in the books where he discusses how it brings him good things and he enjoys certain parts of the life and the path. That’s why I said he’s neutral about it in the books. You can pick and choose examples

There’s literally so much stuff they could pull from in the lore and the books to build a game around like just off the top of my head either first or second northern war (the 3rd is the one the Witcher 3 for those that don’t know), playing as a mage and involving the game and plot around the coup of thanyd and go total game of thrones red wedding with it, making a game when witchers were literally at the hight of the power long before the fall of kaer morhan. Of course these would all require you to mostly completely ditch the characters whose stories are done but unfortunately for them are the branding and they don’t have the talent or they don’t believe they do at least to do that this. Much less make something Witcher related that pulls absolute nothing from sopkawski

Hot take buddy, most of those people arent there anymore. It isnt surprising you dont know this tbh. The name CDPR means nothing. The people who actually make the game means everything. Go check how many people credited for Witcher 3 are still employed at CDPR. Do they still have the ability to make something good? I think so yeah, I probably have the most faith in them out of all establishment AAA companies, im not counting on it though. Do I think they have the ability to make anything thats not absolute garbage that doesnt continue to ape off the established iconography and branding of witcher 3? Absolutely not. Which is why this is just Witcher 3 the sequel.

Do you have any idea how many people it will take to make a game the size of Witcher 4 is likely to be? From what I remember because there was a really big controversy about the crunch involved witcher 3 because it was basically made in about 3 years of actual full scale production with only 150 people scaling up to 250 people for like the final 6 months. That game exploded the company the company in size, which isnt always a good thing, and they will easily have 500 people working on this at least. You are also aware these team leaders have people working under them yes? The lead writer for witcher 3 didnt sit down and write the entire script. They use scenario writers, some will be tasked with writing side quest, some will be tasked with creating the charming lines npcs say while you walk around etc. If all of those people are gone, which they are, then the "lead" still being there means absolutely nothing unless just as talented people are brought in to replace them. And since DEI has never done that once in history I find it hard to believe it will here. Dont forget guys the Veilgaurd team had some team leads from Dragon age Inquistion. Great game right?

who exactly are the incel children? i despise DEI, does that make me an incel?

Because I'm happy to compare our lives.

people that see a game/movie with a female lead and call it DEI and cry that it will ruin the game/movie based on no other info.

we have a good example right here

Ultimately this is my main sticking point. I have zero interest in playing a female character in a video game and I think its a bad $$ decision but its not my game and I realize there are weird cats that like that kind of game....so I can kind of concede that.

as for comparing lives, you spend way more of yours complaining on the poli board, you don't come off as a happy person but I guess the saying probably has some truth that misery loves company

it's like you tried to make a clever jab here, but didn't have the balls to throw the punch. but since you did, frick it. I might have 100 posts total on the PB, but sure.

You on the other-hand spend 90% of your day pretending to be something you're not. (even tho no one believes you; see downvote counts). 22k posts in 2 years and you want to talk about how my time is spent? lol, i only see one 'incel' here, it ain't td.

again, we can compare lives any day of the week. if you want to pretend to be tough, put your money where your mouth is or put your weight into the punches.

The context was in replacing the tons and tons of people who have left the company since Witcher 3 and how just because one or two team leads are still there it means nothing if merit isn’t the deciding factor in bringing in whose on those teams. And since CDPRs website is slathered with as much ESG and DEI slop as you possibly could put there I have my doubts that’s what happened. But, and again as I’ve already said ITT, they haven’t actually made anything worth objecting to yet so I’ll give them grace until they do.

And no the people who made phantom liberty will largely not be the people behind Witcher 4, if at all. It depends how their studio structure and setup works but a company of that size typically has independent divisions working on an individual game. They don’t just finish phantom liberty and run over to Witcher 4. Those people will have moved on to whatever is next for cyberpunk.

well, I guess when I'm playing the game in a few years and enjoying it you'll still be around to tell me that it sucks over some reason or another.

I'm really anticipating it though, should be great.

with that being said. the trailer looked good to me.

i dabbled in Witcher 3, but sort of missed the boat. I thoroughly enjoyed Seasons 1 & 2 of the Netflix series and plan to devote some serious time to Witcher 4.
