   Look, I just hope Witcher 4 is good. I hope it has good writing, I hope it doesn't have any stupid preachy shit in it, and I hope that despite it being made in Unreal it'll still perform well and have enough graphics settings to prevent some of the visuals being distracting.

   I also really hope that there aren't people out there bitching and whining about playing as Ciri or playing as a female character just because. It honestly makes you look really fucking stupid. Save your outrage for stuff that's actually outrageous.

   Witcher 3 is, as far as I'm concerned, one of the greatest games of all time. Truly lightning in a bottle. It's going to be nigh impossible for Witcher 4 to reach that status. I still hope it's good though. It's kind of sad I have to hope that something is good these days instead of just expecting it to be tbh.

     @tomie the one photo that matrix posted looked pretty bad but watching the trailer she looks fine tbh. maybe a little bit weird looking, but most of what i take issue with is just the "realistic rendering" making things look bad. unironically, i think a game looking more like a game and less like real life draws me in so much more. i love the way final fantasy games have always done their graphics because it's this sort of hyper-realistic, anime-esque style. i think it works out way better. older games that were really pushing for realism are able to strike that kind of balance, almost by accident, because they couldn't quite hit that target yet. now that we are getting closer and closer it is just looking strange. not to mention the actual techniques for rendering like all the temporal shit and the weird artifacts coming from it all.

     i posted a video earlier about a dude complaining that geralt wasn't going to be the protag and he couldn't even pronounce his name right. lots of tourists and grifters out and about.

     @beardalaxy they are already bitching and moaning because Ciri isn't "hot" enough (she literally looks the same, even the dumbass makeup is present)
