I hope she knows how to play Gwent.

[-] pigup@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I liked gwent. Tried the app, didn't understand wtf was happening, deleted it.

[-] storcholus@feddit.org 1 points 5 months ago

Same. The worst thing they can do to fuck Witcher 4 up is change the gameplay of Gwent

[-] ogeist@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Can't wait to see the Netflix adaptation again with Henry Cavill as Ciri.

[-] Siethron@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

You're joking but I feel like that would satisfy EVERYONE's fantasies

[-] tpyo@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Just cast him as all the roles. in everything

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

He's busy... Doing everything

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

Super hyped, I've wanted a sequel with Ciri since finishing 3.

Please don't Cyberpunk this up, CDPR...

[-] darkkite@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I'd argue each CDPR game improves on the one before including cyberpunk, but since it was a new franchise and perspective it was like creating witcher 1 all over again except... The combat offered more choice that the witcher games, better 3d level design, pretty solid endings (better than deus ex, and mass effect).

[-] Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 5 months ago

what does that mean, cyberpunk is awesome

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 0 points 5 months ago

It took over a year before it was made into something worthwhile.

[-] Raab@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

As with The Witcher 3, which is now regarded as one of the best games of all time.

[-] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 months ago

Witcher 3 came out in May of 2015 and set the record for goty awards at the time. I don’t think it took that long to patch it up.

[-] Raab@lemmy.world -1 points 5 months ago

I distinctly remember it taking at least until the first expansion for it to be considered one of the greats. GOTY Awards have never been a true tell for quality of a game in my opinion.

[-] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I think it took a month for it to be polished enough. I remember this because it was when cdpr spun its upcoming patches into a great pr move by calling them “free dlc”. I think it was like 11-12 weeks of continuous “dlc” and Reddit was eating that up and dunking on other devs while praising the game to be the best game of all time. I legitimately remember post on Reddit showing some glitches in the game and comments saying something like “the game is glitchy, but at least it’s just funny glitches and nothing game breaking”. Also, first expansion came out 5 months after the release, so it still tracks that the game was patched up somewhat quick.

Play Deus Ex: Mankind Divided & come back

[-] darkkite@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

I play the deus ex games over and over and cyberpunk surpases them IMO.

DE does less with more, but 77 offers better combat, exploration, and better relationships. The stuff with megan reed in the first was ineffective, but the characters you meet in 77 jackie, panam, judy hit much more. you not only explore more characters, but yourself more than jenson ever does.

https://youtu.be/bgJazjz9ZsA?t=7821

if you watch this small clip you'll notice how deus ex rarely allows you to enter/exit important buildings via glass windows. in 77, while your cannot enter your apartments that way you can for many gig locations, but you might need the augs, or tech expertise to open a sliding window.

adding mods on PC that add hardcore, realistic hunger and sleep, vr and this clears the modern deus ex games. I do want Adam's story resolved though

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

They will cyberpunk this, because they also witchered Cyberpunk. As in "delivered less than promised and then mostly fixed it with patches".

[-] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

Yep, it's their business model. People were pissed about Cyberpunk because they'd only played Witcher 3 after it was complete.

[-] Don_alForno@feddit.org 1 points 5 months ago

I played Witcher 3 day one and have no idea what you're talking about.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 5 months ago

Feels like W4 being about Ciri is the worst kept secret in gaming.

[-] HK65@sopuli.xyz 0 points 5 months ago

Is it just me or is her face a bit weird? Like too much jaw?

I'd love to play the game as Ciri though, hope they make up a good story, it felt the Wild Hunt was her story, IDK what can top that.

[-] dance_ninja@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Might be a character redesign. Geralt definitely got that treatment from 2 to 3.

[-] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

And from 1 to 2, which was desperately needed.

[-] kandoh@reddthat.com 0 points 5 months ago

Her face looks longer to me. I assume they're trying to make her look more like a real person.

[-] Mistic@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Problem is (well, not really, but still), she already looked like a real person. Personally know people who look a lot like Ciri, it's not the most uncommon look in Slavic countries.

It may be just the trailer. In some scenes, she looks like herself from the 3rd game, just aged, but in most, she looks a bit... weird. It's really hard to tell what's going on because when you try to compare the models, they do match up.

[-] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works -1 points 5 months ago

She looks like a supermodel, what weird gooner take is this.

[-] Fades@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

You’re the one taking it to gooner/sexist territory, us fans of the series know the characters and when the overall face-shape changes but keeps defining features like the scar on her cheek, it’s a little unexpected and strange at first.

[-] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works -1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Me, a fan, instantly recognized her and noticed nothing "weird" about her. Caring at all about her jaw shape or whatever intrinsically makes you a gooner.

And honestly, you're fucking weird for even responding to me.

[-] aluminium@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

Looks great... but it uses Unreal Engine 5

[-] eupraxia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 months ago

like most engines, UE5 is whatever you hack it into being. I hate developing with Unreal but I do have to admit it's solid in a lot of ways. and has pretty mature content/LOD streaming, one of the biggest issues I saw with Cyberpunk at launch.

[-] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

As if anyone expected to play as any other character than Ciri.

[-] Pooptimist@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

I hoped for a witcher (whichever gender) from one of the other schools, tbh

[-] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

So did I, but I mean, given the current game development climate, Ciri was an extremely predictable pick.

Not only is Ciri a woman, which modern games seem to be making super majority of main protagonists these days, but she also has market familiarity. Her character is recognizable and therefore has a builtin audience, where a new character does not.

[-] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 0 points 5 months ago

If women make up around 50% of the people on earth, shouldn't they make up around 50% of the main characters?

[-] felykiosa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

I think that wanting equality over men/women % of MC is not something you would want to focus on I would rather have a quality story and universe whatever of the gender of the MC.

( I will clarify my point , I am an human therefore I am for gender equality obviously but I don't think that this metric is the most interesting )

[-] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca -1 points 5 months ago

I completely agree that the quality of the story is kinda the whole point, but I am tired of seeing comments like the one RightHand made; complaining that she is a woman just because she is a woman.

[-] Silverseren@fedia.io -1 points 5 months ago

I mean, I agree. But, based on that argument, it's totally fine if 100% of pre-created MCs are women then, since it's only the story and universe that are important (and I would be 100% a-ok with that happening).
