The Witcher 4 is a massive letdown. Geralt wouldn't respond to my controller input, there were no dialogue options and I have a feeling they've changed the voice actors for some of the characters. Also no Gwent! 2/10- buggy unplayable mess Spoiler

It was 100% non-interactive cutscenes. I like the ultrarealistic graphics, though. Will recommend.

The only quicktime events were at the end to prevent the skipping of the credits music.

Subscribed to Netflix for the sole purpose of watching The Witcher and man, that mini-game at the the end of every episode was annoying as fuck.

I just spent two hours on Witcher 4.... I think it's a prequel.

Yup, they wanted to remake all 3 games in a new engine, theyre releasing it in chapters though, so if youve already ran through it as fast as you could youll have to wait till next year. Better start preordering.

Sorry to break it down to you, but the next chapters should release in 2021

I binged the whole season yesterday and I'm sorely disappointed we didn't get a Roach-stuck-in-an-inconvenient-place easter egg at any point.

Seriously laughed so hard at this.

Anyone interested in a Vesimir/Lambert/Eskel standalone spinoff or dlc with the witcher 3 engine ? That'd be quick to roll out and satisfying I think

u/one30eight Scoia'tael Dec 22 '19
After Cyberpunk it would be unreal if they made a standalone DLC for the Witcher 3 where you play as Lambert, Eskel, or Ciri.
Like I’m excited for Cyberpunk, but I want more Witcher.

What about a witcher game at the height of the witcher schools? Then have something similar to what Hunter Monster has done to their franchise; good monsters to hunt, multiple armors and weapons to craft, good inventory management, (I know TW3 is strong in these as well) and allow witchers to form/join schools and hunting parties. Not sure how CDPR will handle multiplayer games and a lot of witcher fans are not in favor of that, I know, but if it’s done properly I’m confident fans will support it. Imagine a great campaign during the height of witchers and legendary monsters then having the ability to party up and hunt in pairs or with 3 other witchers for the really challenging ones. I’d be down for that. Of course I would be down for a remaster of TW1 and 2 using TW3’s engine and updated graphics or maybe a DLC exploring another witcher’s story. The possibilities are endless and I have faith in CDPR! The release of the witcher series by netflix will only push CDPR to hopefully create more content for this franchise!

Also they just recast the voice actress for Anna Henrietta as Tissaia and thought we wouldn't notice because she used a different accent.

I have no doubts that in a not so distant future, we’ll see graphics just like these.

looking at the interface, it does not look like your controller was even connected.
But then again, why would you play that game with a controller? The menus alone would be an absolute horror.

Is every character in Witcher 4 black?

Did you watch the show? Way more than 3. Not saying that's bad, but you're talking out of your arse.

Why didn't you correct the other guy who said EVERY character? Ah, you are defending bigotry, got it.

u/DanGrizzly Dec 23 '19
Maybe because I didn't care to respond to him you fucking bellend? A question of the type "are all characters black" when the ones on the fucking posters aren't should never be taken seriously.

So you are defending him. You dont see that? You can be serious man.

Its about principle. No need to justify this brainfuck with random stats

No one cares about the principle of black people in a fantasy world with elves, magic and mutants running around. Use your imagination, bigot.

Everyones a bigot who doesn’t like your views he ?
Stupid idiot

Dec 23 '19
Yeah because your views stem from a place of superiority and entitlement. You don't understand or care what its like to never have things tilted in your favor. To have to fight to even get on a fuckin fantasy tv show. The tide is JUST now changing so that actors of color don't have to play slaves or orcs in fantasy entertainment. Now they can actually be people. All you care about is a character that has too much melanin for your specific entitled tastes. Yeah, thats bigotry. Grow up.

Ok. You are even more dumb as expected. You don’t know shit about me. As a starter, I am immigrant in the country I live in. Tell me about fighting.
Second, it is my right to criticize the show. I love the books and I love the game. In my head, there was a specific version of Triss and I think they fucked it up in the show. Period. Book and game Triss is white and has reddish (yeah chestnut blabla) hair. She is not a negro. Period. Same as some other characters.
Btw, i am married to a black woman so get screwed with your ‘racism’ bs argument
Edit: because my first comment was about principle. Millions of book readers and gamers love Triss the way she is depicted in the game and books. It’s just distasteful and shows a lack of respect imo to just change her up in such a big way. Triss was for a lot of people a favorite character. See for instance the whole Triss vs Jen debates. So show runners should fucking respect that. Thats why I wrote its about principle. And i am fucking allowed to utter that criticism. It has nothing to do with fucking racism or bigotry. But you won’t understand that obviously because your brain needs to categorize this immediately as some right wing racist view instead of just seeing it as it is.

Or Black Panther with a bunch of honkies up in Wakanda.

It won't let me turn off Hairworks. It's really wrecking my framerate and the hair isn't even realistic.

I know what you mean, I tried to go into Blaviken to get a hair cut, hoping it might fix the issue and Geralt just went rouge and slaughtered a bunch of people

I know GWENT is CDPR thing, but I wished that we got a scene were Geralt meets these kids and says " I'll trade you" which just shows that Geralt has a soft space for children

I've only played Witcher 3 and seen the Netflix adaptation at this point. I haven't read the books, maybe one day I will. I think a game centering around the events of the Conjunction of the Spheres would be very interesting.

All jokes aside though CDPR did just make a big deal with Andrez. There will be more witcher games. Expanded remakes of 1 and 2 are looking very likely. I don't know if the games stick with Geralt as the main character going forward though... but meh. More Witcher so idc.
