In other news, alot of ex CDPR developers have started rebel wolves. Including the lead quest designer for the Witcher 3. First game is called The Blood of Dawnwalker. Medieval supernatural (vampires/werewolves) narrative rpg. Published by Namco Bandai. Gameplay trailer drops in January.
All CDPR devs that made witcher 3 left during the initial Cyberpunk development due to harsh working conditions and were replaced by freelancers and DEI activists, only the average normies think that witcher 4 will not be full of social justice themes and similar narratives

@TheReviewerWildTake It's such a stupid argument. If a Neonazi said don't drink bleach you'll die. You don't go drink bleach just to prove them wrong. We have a saying even a broken clock is right twice a day for a reason. If your only counter is I don't like them so they're wrong. You have a cult-like adherence to "your truth".
Well, this situation with "lore-master" is not shocking to me (while still being sad). I remember watching the video called "CD PROJEKT | Deep Dive: Approach to ESG [EN/PL]" two years ago on the CDPR channel named "CD PROJEKT IR". It told me everything I needed to know about future of this company. Since then I knew their next game will be strongly influenced by modern agendas. Currently, this video proudly sits with 396 likes and 12300 dislikes.
sure, it was one of the red flags. I hoped that mb they only did this for financial reasons, investment, being publicly traded at all, but since then they started to fill company with ppl you don`t want around, so it is just worse and worse...
CD project woke now. They took the shekels and sold out. Do check out Blood of Dawnwalker, the real talent behind the Witcher games left years ago and are developing it noww.
@TheReviewerWildTakeagreed. Really need people defending the crazy lore breaking decision on ciri being full blown witcher to see this video. It's not just coincidence that this guy is the lore master and this decision for next witcher game
@TheReviewerWildTake Considering they have hired numerous people like this, including some in senior writer positions. Have been shifting strongly into this for the past few years, with clearly shown in many ways. Including posting gender focused sexist crap on their twitter. That focuses on gender rather than the individual(and their programs, initiatives). How they have handled CP77 marketing post release, and even a bit before. (changing the official fem V into very masculine one, completely erasing the male V from all marketing materials, posters, trailers, end credits animated thing etc. Some content in the game clearly pushing certain things, and some of it in the base game is the worst written, with the worst character in the whole game. Though game is still good overall.) So many things they have said about their direction. Tons of classic gutter tier corpo speak and practices. Especially recently. Basically turned into the typical scum corp now. It was clear it will happen from years ago, if you paid attention. I kinda hoped not, but shouldn't ignore reality for hope. If anything, I do want for stuff like this to fail as hard as possible. Only way for anything to change. And I don't want to see such behavior rewarded.

I've been telling people for a while now that CDPR is cooked. The people that were involved in the Witcher trilogy are gone now, replaced by DEI hires.
I wonder what about those who are left. Is it even the same environment? It was a Polish company, now it is more like international one, with constant flashing of DEI and ESG policies, lgbtq flags on shirts, etc.
@TheReviewerWildTake You can believe me or not, but a friend of a friend left CDPR a couple years ago and it's basically exactly what you would expect. Once the company went public (biggest mistake ever), changes started happening and veterans were replaced by political hacks with no love for the source material. Supposedly the switch to UE5 was driven by necessity rather than any other factors. The makeup of the company changed so radically, there weren't enough people left that knew how to use red engine anymore.
Not even 3 minutes into the video and I am so confused why they hired this guy in the first place. He is the perfect speciment for your typical video game journalist, even defending the writers of the netlfix series and I am now more woried than ever what changes he will do to the Witcher lore. This is not the type of guy who should CDPR hire but the one who should be let go from the company.

great! Yeah, I just watched his video too. btw, the second part of my video has like 10 minutes of all the screenshot that didn`t make it into article on Fandompulse. There are just too many horrible takes to fit in one article, I guess :) This dude is even worse.
@TheReviewerWildTakeCDPR gave woke journalists gifts and censored CP2077 lore after a fake 'trans backlash', as uncovered by Savvy. This doesn't surprise me at all.
Culture flows from the top. CDPR's bigshot investors encouraged and facilitated this cultural shift. It's the same across all of popular culture. The 1%, the elites, whichever label you prefer. This isn't going to stop until they are stopped.
sure, feel free to do it if you can. I don`t have a verified X account, and apparently on X you can`t message some ppl without it :\ At least it does not allow me to message some of ppl there.
hey, cool! Oh, finally someone recognizes UT2004 :) Usually ppl ask wth I am playing :D I am not really investigation channel though, this is why I even put disclaimer :) But I do cover some universal gaming related topics, gaming news, reviews and parody reviews. In fact, I didn`t expect to uncover so much stuff on this guy when I visited his profile. So this video was not even planned, it was just too much to ignore.
@TheReviewerWildTake Unreal Tournament junkie back in the day. Those Giant Rooms mod maps. Playing like honey I shrunk the kids. Such a blast. But I have to say my favorite modder maps are Space Noxx and DM-Morpheus3 . When UT III came out, I was more than happy to see Space Noxx was carried over to that one too. Don't remember if Morpheus3 was carried over too. I think it was. I've been looking at my boxes for a while and have been getting the itch to install and fire them up again.
@TheReviewerWildTake as fun as it might be to single this guy out for ridicule... this problem is systemic... - wanders the desert for 40 years til this has passed -
I can understand why, he seems to be the type that gets punched a lot himself so much so that his face is probably as puffy as Ciri’s from TW4 trailer.
They don't fok around but actually they do. I don't believe cdpr after ccp2077. I don't buy any games from them. This game journalist task to burn down game company. They have done successfuly, this is what cdpr want. Let them have it.
@TheReviewerWildTake because they bent their knees to dei crap so they will pay the price. Those devs made witcher 3 left some of them working on kingdom come deliverance 2.
wait... yellowflash good? channel names make it really hard to know who is a good click, and who will pollute my suggesteds algorithm for the next 21 days... xD
@longpinkytoes well, he is among based channels, if you are asking this. He is not exclusively gaming tho - he covers that Hollywood\actors\with some social media stuff too
@TheReviewerWildTake oh cool good to know... it's all a big bundle of poop taco at this point though, can't really separate the gaming aspect from the rest anymore
Just ignore him. These people LOVE attention. There is no other reason why he keep spewing none sense article which even he himself dont' care about. The more you talking about him, the more happy he is. Harassing him? He could whine about that for years! DOXing him? That could have been a headline! Do the opposite, don't read anything that has his name on it. Don't watch his video. He would soon learn that this is pointless and would eventually change. As for WC4, if CDPR stupid enough to hire this guy... Well they may be THAT desperate after Cyberpunk crunch. It is doomed for real. Just forget about it.
yep, I saw that! Actually, I wanted to message him on X before that, but could not, because apparently I needed verified profile or smth to dm, and I am not that serious with X. :) Thankfully, Fandompulse made an article with video, which got it all it going further into the internet.
You are just a mad gamer thats mad about games being bland and heartless. You gamers are all the same, all you want is a good game or even worse: for games to get better Hawk tuah'd on that gamer
Wait, He said Persian poems about Vikings???? As a Persian, I don't think any Persian poet, even now when the Internet is everywhere, has ever wrote a poem about Vikings. Even the word "Viking" would hardly fit in any classic Persian poem because of the strict rules of classic poetry.
I know you warned against it, but i subscribed anyway. Based reviewer. Thanks for your work. Hopefully you got a couple thanks or credits from the large channels as well.
Oh my gosh what a marathon of misery lol. It must suck to be that guy. Seriously, with the sheer volume of negative tweets the guy has made, probably a mountain more you couldn't even fit in the video, it makes you feel like life sucks. Lol I'm pissed he's the lore master of my favorite game series. But aside from that, it's a glimpse into how mental these activist types are. Like does Cian actually LIKE anything? Not just what he's "supposed to like" but i mean is he ever a fun guy lol. Man if i knew him I real life i would have no problem telling him i don't like it when he's around lol. "Dude your a real emotional vampire, i would prefer you just keep your misery to you're self". Lol screw that guy. Thank you for the video. I hope everyone sees this video so they can stop defending the huge violations to the lore in witcher 4
his attitude is smth along the lines of "I am enlightened journo, and gamers are just plebs and fools, and I must teach them a lesson about everything"...
this is a very compassionate take. is this sungrandstudio's alt account? xD poor Cian is damaging himself daily: 'Almost all tissues in your body have glucocorticoid receptors. Because of this, cortisol can affect nearly every organ system in your body, including: Nervous system. Immune system.'
thanks! I think it is starting to gain more traction today. In case of this particular video I am just mostly concerned about preservation of this info and raising awareness. Coz normally I don`t do investigations like this here :D It is mostly reviews and gaming related discussions. But I loved Witcher and CDPR of the past :\ Hopefully they can change the course of action and won`t follow Ubisoft path...
@TheReviewerWildTake yeah, I feel that too. I have yet to finish witcher 3, but cyberpunk was one of the best written games I've played in recent years. A shame to see that go in favor of fake "lore specialists" who only care about DEI and virtue signaling
i started finding out a month or so back that nearly every problem with healthy, happy family has its origins with the Sexual Revolution, the 60s, and Woodstock (the original) D:
What do you guys think about their last game, Phantom Liberty. Pretty big expansion with over 20 hours of content, new characters and story. I think it is really good game. Really weird that a DEI studio does game good as this. This gives me hope for Witcher 4.
problem with companies that drag their name throughout all these years, is that almost no one tracks what is going on behind closed doors. Like are these same ppl, with same leaders, with same agendas, with same goals or mb everything has changed etc.
I scoffed hard at the notion that the makers of the Witcher Netflix series love the books. If they did, they'd have seen the value of not infringing on them. What a jackass.
Most people who played the Witcher 3 didn't bother to check out the W1 and the W2. Also, most of them didn't read the books. Those who know the source material were always pointing out inaccuracies.
yeah, I think lore debates themselves are not new. I am personally not a "100% lore purist" - for me, what is really unacceptable - is that arrogant and hostile attitude towards customers. It is one thing to bend lore in the interest of customer, and another thing is to break it when everyone is angry at you and asks not to do it, for example (like in RoP, which he defended so passionately) . These ppl cause more outrage because they turn everything into "my opinion vs all those toxic fans" format (instead of just "lore vs necessity" for example) , this is why it is easy to see, why certain things always coz more resentment, compared to some old problems\inaccuracies. LoTR trilogy had some inaccuracies, but it was never shaped in a "we vs customers" form, imo.
@ As someone who plays casually looking in. It seems to me that them being defensive is warranted. There seems to be a crowd of people who will disregard things because of ‘Wokeness’ or out of ‘lore inaccuracies’ which is ridiculous when they base their opinions on a game that’s not even remotely canon to the books. I think it’s one thing to want them to stick to the lore in an already faithful game. But the Witcher series from a gaming perspective has always taken creative liberties to the point where plenty of important events in the books aren’t the same. I don’t see why it’s that big of a deal if 1, 2, and 3 are all different from the books and then 4 comes along and everyone wants to cry wolf at the same formula that’s been given to them for years. Especially when the last game had an ending where this very thing ( Ciri becoming a Witcher) happens. Even the complaints about Ciri are kinda pointless. “Why did they Uglify her” She’s older and has undergone the trials of grasses. Heck she isn’t even that ugly and looks fitting for someone who fights monsters for a living. “But if she’s a Witcher wouldn’t she have barely aged?” She could have just taken the trials when she was older. I.E basic plot elements that a short cinematic trailer can’t tell you. On top of this her in-game model will probably look better. “But only Men and children can survive the Trial of Grasses” It was never explicitly stated that women couldn’t survive, only that they were much more likely to die. On top of this there are points in the books and games where adult Witcher’s either go through, or are considered for further mutations. An example of this is Geralt who was resistant to these experiments because of his psychology. “But what about the elder-blood prophecy’s” What about it? If I remember correctly she was either going to be forced to conceive a child…. And she (canon to one the games endings) wanted to be a Witcher anyway. I think a better example of wokeness in gaming and studios is by far Naughty Dog and the Last of Us. Like compare their current track record to CDPR and you’ll see the difference is like night and day. Even with their current new game that they recently showed.
You play Ciri... Geralds Story is over. We know this for years BUT i would say it looks like they had that Plan before they finished the Witcher 3 because every Male Main Character gets replaced with a Female in Movies and Games.
well, if this game would be in hands of someone we could trust, I might be a lot less alarmed. But we know what exactly they bring into play, when ppl like these are in development...
@TheReviewerWildTake Yes, but is true. A lot of players will find it hard to relate with that MC. (and romances?) Who, in the cinematic, doesn't act, speak or sound anything like Ciri from TW3 that we love. The Witcher in its core was very masculine. Muscular bad ass super soldier fighting monsters(with the typical baggage). Women are into you etc. While I am reducing it, it was pretty masculine and Geralt's personality and backstory worked well for protag. Kinda laid on those pillars underneath. Now they say focus is on player agency(although they use qualifiers like "feel like" and "players to TRY to define her character"), but completely contradict themselves when they are forcing you to play a specific, well established character and gender. Especially one that most of the player base will have a harder time immersing into. (it also depends on the game, how much of an RPG it is, the lore, world building) I might have been down with Ciri game, if it went a completely different direction. Not this nonsense. (Like having her powers and ability to travel between worlds, with whole system built around it, infinite potential for exploration, wonder as well as mechanics and scope) (they even said before game shouldn't be called TW4 because The Witcher 1-3 was Geralt's story and that is over. But called it TW4 anyway, 100% a corpo decision for brand recognition and to bring ignorant TW3 fans thinking it's a proper continuation. Even tho they say, like all these corps, they want new audience. Because 60mil~ copies sold of TW3 is just not enough. It's never enough for these types.) Ciri game had potential if approached right, it also would have been far from easy to do well. But no, shoehorn her into some cringe female Geralt but with angst. Of course, better than him. Well, everyone knew female witcher is coming, even if it wasn't "Ciri". No matter how little sense it makes. Obviously Geralt shouldn't have been brought back, I don't think most people want that anyway. Especially people who actually finished the game and expansions. Though I am expecting them to bring him back in "TW4" and do something real crappy to him. Somehow relating to Ciri.
hard to get behind that sentiment... if this was Doom or Duke Nukem, then maybe i could see it but games like Resident Evil where the protagonist is a subtle problem-solver, a woman actually makes more sense
your irrelevant attempt at damage control will not change anything. If you don`t see the problem - you are most likely the same as him, with the same set of opinions and biases. There are hundreds of screenshots, in multitudes of different contexts. Dude is one walking red flag and sale destroyer.

btw, the second part of my video has like 10 minutes of all the screenshot that didn`t make it into article on Fandompulse.
There are just too many horrible takes to fit in one article, I guess :) This dude is even worse.
yellowflash is super nice for the mention, but the people that actually took the cue and jumped over are the legends
My concerns are now fears. Dammit. How do people like this get in?
mb CDPR tries to butter up dying gaming journalism industry? Otherwise hard to explain ..
@TheReviewerWildTakeCDPR gave woke journalists gifts and censored CP2077 lore after a fake 'trans backlash', as uncovered by Savvy. This doesn't surprise me at all.
Culture flows from the top. CDPR's bigshot investors encouraged and facilitated this cultural shift. It's the same across all of popular culture. The 1%, the elites, whichever label you prefer. This isn't going to stop until they are stopped.
Everyone needs to watch this
yep, too bad X have all kind of blocks for DMs, difficult to spread this info to ppl who usually do this kind of content.
@TheReviewerWildTake that sounds like a bluesky thing, i thought recently 𝕏 made it slightly harder to cancel other users
Grumzz and Endymion need to watch this. I am gonna send it to them.
sure, feel free to do it if you can. I don`t have a verified X account, and apparently on X you can`t message some ppl without it :\
At least it does not allow me to message some of ppl there.
@TheReviewerWildTake I appreciate your effort, my dude.
@TheReviewerWildTake th-cam.com/video/tCmlx7Gm7GQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ac_fHI6JEpmjwqqK he mentioned you.

Smash JT recommend your channel. Rock on gamer. Great take on this issue.
thanks :) yeah, saw that too, cool! This story just has to get in the news. So many issues...

Up until now I still didn't watch the witcher 4 game reveal trailer, because I knew who worked on that game since CDPR embraced the woke.
gonna be hard to persuade customers that they somehow don`t have woke infestation in a game with ppl like these...
I'm here from SmashJT and like this content and subbed anyway :)

Yellowflash2 recommended. Hello there. I think you're about to get a boost in your subs. That background game Unreal Tournament 2004!!! 👍👍👍
hey, cool! Oh, finally someone recognizes UT2004 :) Usually ppl ask wth I am playing :D
I am not really investigation channel though, this is why I even put disclaimer :) But I do cover some universal gaming related topics, gaming news, reviews and parody reviews.
In fact, I didn`t expect to uncover so much stuff on this guy when I visited his profile. So this video was not even planned, it was just too much to ignore.
@TheReviewerWildTake Unreal Tournament junkie back in the day. Those Giant Rooms mod maps. Playing like honey I shrunk the kids. Such a blast. But I have to say my favorite modder maps are Space Noxx and DM-Morpheus3 . When UT III came out, I was more than happy to see Space Noxx was carried over to that one too. Don't remember if Morpheus3 was carried over too. I think it was. I've been looking at my boxes for a while and have been getting the itch to install and fire them up again.
thanks for outing background gameplay. it's shiny
cd project next ubisoft nice
yeah, it is sad :\
I mean, I have witcher 3 inspired name here :D , I really don`t want them to go to s***...
@TheReviewerWildTake tfw: i was half-a-dozen videos in before that clicked xD
This is madness.. wth..
yep, dude is unhinged on so many levels, and yet he is there..
@TheReviewerWildTake as fun as it might be to single this guy out for ridicule... this problem is systemic... - wanders the desert for 40 years til this has passed -
I can understand why, he seems to be the type that gets punched a lot himself so much so that his face is probably as puffy as Ciri’s from TW4 trailer.
DEI really does kill another studio, such a shame but also entertaining watching these fools fail so badly lol
yeah, it is like zombies marching off the cliff. So easy to stop, yet so hard.
They don't fok around but actually they do. I don't believe cdpr after ccp2077. I don't buy any games from them. This game journalist task to burn down game company. They have done successfuly, this is what cdpr want. Let them have it.
the question is, why CDPR would want to repeat some other companies fate with employees like this...
@TheReviewerWildTake because they bent their knees to dei crap so they will pay the price. Those devs made witcher 3 left some of them working on kingdom come deliverance 2.
@@nemesissuperhero2078 yeah, heard that too. Also Rebel Wolves studio have lots of them
I hope gog gets sold off to another company that doesn't have dei in their games\mission statements
@@nathanscarlett4772 yeah, I really hope GOG won`t sink together with them. That would be really sad.
Another red flag.
the amount of insane unhinged tweets leaves me speechless...

Wow he sounds based none of you will even match him in greatness
He has a good taste when it comes to beer though ;-)
Ofc, why i'am not surprised. Explains a lot. Sad tho.
Thank god, another game I don't have to buy, this DEI stuff is a true money saver!
sad, but true.
2024: the year of the lets-play then lets-don't-pay
Good work brother.
thanks! :)
so as for now its good to short cdP at the premiere
would love to say otherwise, but with old devs leaving, ESG, DEI hiring and this kind of employees, it is kind of hard to be optimistic,
And here goes CDPR. We've had a good run while it lasted. Goodbye!
yeah, I dunno, mb they should have remained as a strictly Polish company
@TheReviewerWildTake But that would be racist, reeeeeeee - CDPR (probably) 😅
Sent by yellow flag. Lets see your channel explode.
i love seeing youtubers prop each other up when the algorithm wants to knock them all down
Yellowflash recommended you. Glad I found ya. Subbed
hey, welcome :)
wait... yellowflash good? channel names make it really hard to know who is a good click, and who will pollute my suggesteds algorithm for the next 21 days... xD
@longpinkytoes well, he is among based channels, if you are asking this. He is not exclusively gaming tho - he covers that Hollywood\actors\with some social media stuff too
@TheReviewerWildTake oh cool good to know... it's all a big bundle of poop taco at this point though, can't really separate the gaming aspect from the rest anymore
Just ignore him. These people LOVE attention.
There is no other reason why he keep spewing none sense article which even he himself dont' care about.
The more you talking about him, the more happy he is. Harassing him? He could whine about that for years! DOXing him? That could have been a headline!
Do the opposite, don't read anything that has his name on it. Don't watch his video. He would soon learn that this is pointless and would eventually change.
As for WC4, if CDPR stupid enough to hire this guy... Well they may be THAT desperate after Cyberpunk crunch. It is doomed for real. Just forget about it.
well, ppl had to know. What they gonna do with this info, is up to them.
SmashJT referenced your video
yep, I saw that!
Actually, I wanted to message him on X before that, but could not, because apparently I needed verified profile or smth to dm, and I am not that serious with X. :)
Thankfully, Fandompulse made an article with video, which got it all it going further into the internet.
Legend. i suspect a lot of viewers hit SKIP on that bit of dialogue and will never show up here
You are just a mad gamer thats mad about games being bland and heartless.
You gamers are all the same, all you want is a good game or even worse: for games to get better
Hawk tuah'd on that gamer

John Trent sent me here.
He really helped to get that thing going with his video and article on Fandompulse!
til: John Trent, and the fact that some things associated with the word Fandom are not dumpster fire
Wait, He said Persian poems about Vikings???? As a Persian, I don't think any Persian poet, even now when the Internet is everywhere, has ever wrote a poem about Vikings. Even the word "Viking" would hardly fit in any classic Persian poem because of the strict rules of classic poetry.
can`t comment on this one, but seeing how he blatantly lies in many other cases, I guess the chances are high that he will say whatever he wants :D
maybe he's misquoting the work of fiction that 13th warrior was based on...
it did happen but he was a traveller .
@@belstar1128 Care to tell me the name of the poet/poem?
@@belstar1128 yer yer yer yer, my cousin's brother's friend from primary school said exactly the same thing so it MUST be TRUE

Oh my gosh what a marathon of misery lol. It must suck to be that guy. Seriously, with the sheer volume of negative tweets the guy has made, probably a mountain more you couldn't even fit in the video, it makes you feel like life sucks. Lol I'm pissed he's the lore master of my favorite game series. But aside from that, it's a glimpse into how mental these activist types are. Like does Cian actually LIKE anything? Not just what he's "supposed to like" but i mean is he ever a fun guy lol. Man if i knew him I real life i would have no problem telling him i don't like it when he's around lol. "Dude your a real emotional vampire, i would prefer you just keep your misery to you're self". Lol screw that guy. Thank you for the video. I hope everyone sees this video so they can stop defending the huge violations to the lore in witcher 4
his attitude is smth along the lines of "I am enlightened journo, and gamers are just plebs and fools, and I must teach them a lesson about everything"...
this is a very compassionate take. is this sungrandstudio's alt account? xD poor Cian is damaging himself daily:
'Almost all tissues in your body have glucocorticoid receptors.
Because of this, cortisol can affect nearly every organ system in your body,
including: Nervous system. Immune system.'
Great work. You need more viewers
thanks! I think it is starting to gain more traction today. In case of this particular video I am just mostly concerned about preservation of this info and raising awareness. Coz normally I don`t do investigations like this here :D It is mostly reviews and gaming related discussions.
But I loved Witcher and CDPR of the past :\ Hopefully they can change the course of action and won`t follow Ubisoft path...
@TheReviewerWildTake yeah, I feel that too. I have yet to finish witcher 3, but cyberpunk was one of the best written games I've played in recent years. A shame to see that go in favor of fake "lore specialists" who only care about DEI and virtue signaling
Forget Trump Derangement Syndrome, this guy has Gamer Derangement Syndrome!

What do you guys think about their last game, Phantom Liberty. Pretty big expansion with over 20 hours of content, new characters and story. I think it is really good game. Really weird that a DEI studio does game good as this. This gives me hope for Witcher 4.
problem with companies that drag their name throughout all these years, is that almost no one tracks what is going on behind closed doors. Like are these same ppl, with same leaders, with same agendas, with same goals or mb everything has changed etc.
Witcher IV is going to fail
sad, but possible\probable
I scoffed hard at the notion that the makers of the Witcher Netflix series love the books. If they did, they'd have seen the value of not infringing on them. What a jackass.
considering how he hates fans talking about accuracy, it kind of scary to imagine what we might get with Witcher 4...
So… When are people going to start complaining about the last three games? I heard they were incredibly inaccurate to the lore.
Most people who played the Witcher 3 didn't bother to check out the W1 and the W2. Also, most of them didn't read the books. Those who know the source material were always pointing out inaccuracies.
yeah, I think lore debates themselves are not new. I am personally not a "100% lore purist" - for me, what is really unacceptable - is that arrogant and hostile attitude towards customers.
It is one thing to bend lore in the interest of customer, and another thing is to break it when everyone is angry at you and asks not to do it, for example (like in RoP, which he defended so passionately) .
These ppl cause more outrage because they turn everything into "my opinion vs all those toxic fans" format (instead of just "lore vs necessity" for example) , this is why it is easy to see, why certain things always coz more resentment, compared to some old problems\inaccuracies.
LoTR trilogy had some inaccuracies, but it was never shaped in a "we vs customers" form, imo.
@ As someone who plays casually looking in. It seems to me that them being defensive is warranted. There seems to be a crowd of people who will disregard things because of ‘Wokeness’ or out of ‘lore inaccuracies’ which is ridiculous when they base their opinions on a game that’s not even remotely canon to the books.
I think it’s one thing to want them to stick to the lore in an already faithful game. But the Witcher series from a gaming perspective has always taken creative liberties to the point where plenty of important events in the books aren’t the same. I don’t see why it’s that big of a deal if 1, 2, and 3 are all different from the books and then 4 comes along and everyone wants to cry wolf at the same formula that’s been given to them for years.
Especially when the last game had an ending where this very thing ( Ciri becoming a Witcher) happens.
Even the complaints about Ciri are kinda pointless.
“Why did they Uglify her”
She’s older and has undergone the trials of grasses. Heck she isn’t even that ugly and looks fitting for someone who fights monsters for a living.
“But if she’s a Witcher wouldn’t she have barely aged?”
She could have just taken the trials when she was older. I.E basic plot elements that a short cinematic trailer can’t tell you. On top of this her in-game model will probably look better.
“But only Men and children can survive the Trial of Grasses”
It was never explicitly stated that women couldn’t survive, only that they were much more likely to die. On top of this there are points in the books and games where adult Witcher’s either go through, or are considered for further mutations. An example of this is Geralt who was resistant to these experiments because of his psychology.
“But what about the elder-blood prophecy’s”
What about it? If I remember correctly she was either going to be forced to conceive a child…. And she (canon to one the games endings) wanted to be a Witcher anyway.
I think a better example of wokeness in gaming and studios is by far Naughty Dog and the Last of Us. Like compare their current track record to CDPR and you’ll see the difference is like night and day. Even with their current new game that they recently showed.
@@darkvoidswrath958 I mean, none of these are my opinions, so can`t really comment on it.
@ for sure it’s just the topic of outrage and DEI in general.
I knew the game was dead as soon as they announced you are forced to play as a woman.
You play Ciri... Geralds Story is over. We know this for years BUT i would say it looks like they had that Plan before they finished the Witcher 3 because every Male Main Character gets replaced with a Female in Movies and Games.
well, if this game would be in hands of someone we could trust, I might be a lot less alarmed. But we know what exactly they bring into play, when ppl like these are in development...
@@mrturbo84 i would like to take this opportunity to remind you about the Fall of Rome for your daily dose of the Roman Empire
@TheReviewerWildTake Yes, but is true. A lot of players will find it hard to relate with that MC. (and romances?) Who, in the cinematic, doesn't act, speak or sound anything like Ciri from TW3 that we love.
The Witcher in its core was very masculine. Muscular bad ass super soldier fighting monsters(with the typical baggage). Women are into you etc. While I am reducing it, it was pretty masculine and Geralt's personality and backstory worked well for protag. Kinda laid on those pillars underneath.
Now they say focus is on player agency(although they use qualifiers like "feel like" and "players to TRY to define her character"), but completely contradict themselves when they are forcing you to play a specific, well established character and gender. Especially one that most of the player base will have a harder time immersing into. (it also depends on the game, how much of an RPG it is, the lore, world building)
I might have been down with Ciri game, if it went a completely different direction. Not this nonsense. (Like having her powers and ability to travel between worlds, with whole system built around it, infinite potential for exploration, wonder as well as mechanics and scope)
(they even said before game shouldn't be called TW4 because The Witcher 1-3 was Geralt's story and that is over. But called it TW4 anyway, 100% a corpo decision for brand recognition and to bring ignorant TW3 fans thinking it's a proper continuation. Even tho they say, like all these corps, they want new audience. Because 60mil~ copies sold of TW3 is just not enough. It's never enough for these types.)
Ciri game had potential if approached right, it also would have been far from easy to do well. But no, shoehorn her into some cringe female Geralt but with angst. Of course, better than him. Well, everyone knew female witcher is coming, even if it wasn't "Ciri". No matter how little sense it makes.
Obviously Geralt shouldn't have been brought back, I don't think most people want that anyway. Especially people who actually finished the game and expansions. Though I am expecting them to bring him back in "TW4" and do something real crappy to him. Somehow relating to Ciri.
hard to get behind that sentiment... if this was Doom or Duke Nukem, then maybe i could see it
but games like Resident Evil where the protagonist is a subtle problem-solver, a woman actually makes more sense
He's clearly making a joke, you are a huge baby.
