      “Woke” is anything they don’t like, including characters they can’t immediately sexualize.

        My guess would be that Ciri looks older now, she was 21 in Witcher 3, and there are a lot of Leonardo DiCaprio types out there who get offended by any suggestion they should be attracted to women their own age. And as you point out, assume that any women in media are there for them to sexualize.

      Hey now, they haven’t seen the sun in two years and like worms only crawl out of the earth when it rains so of course they don’t know what real people look like. And c’mon, if you didn’t respect women for anything more than their appearance then you’d also have ridiculously high standards and nothing more to offer them but insults when those standards weren’t met! /s

      These people suck and so do their opinions. There’s always going to be something wrong because if there isn’t then they feel like “normies” and among that group they’re bottom of the barrel. They could do something about it but that takes work(and probably therapy). There’s no point in trying to appease them because they’ll never be happy, they refuse to be.

    The trailer does give uncanny valley vibes. I chalk this up to toxic gamers saying anything they don’t like is woke. It’s like they can’t even articulate what they’re upset about.

      It took me a second to adjust. I recon it’s just the change of engine and I have no recollection of the camera being that in her face for 3

      I’m kinda stoked for this given the way 3 ended

        I haven’t played 3. I got the trilogy and tried to start with 1 but it’s pretty dated lol. I should just play 3.

          The only witcher content I’ve consumed is witcher 3 and it was great. Didn’t have any context going in and enjoyed it.

          There is a very loose through thread between the game but the 1st in particular is very dated both for mechanics. You can play just 3 very happily

          Me specifically. (Trying to be vague ans as spoiler free as possible below but just incase it’s not here be yer warning)

          You don’t meet yen until game three and I had read a couple of the books by this point so for me personally my Gerald had built a rich relationship with triss in 1 and 2 but the cannon relationship is yen so it made for some really tough choices on that side of the game.

          we all ended up just good friends which also felt right in reflection.

    The complainers are stuck on the r34 version of Ciri, which is why they’re upset the sequel doesn’t match their wank material.

    Edit: It was the same for Horizon. In the first game, you could glitch photo mode to clip through clothes and see fully modelled breasts. Then the sequel popped up and their wank imagery was ruined.

    Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a sec. You’re telling me that women can look different as time goes on? Like… ageing?

    I’m MORTIFIED.

    Remember the name, once the game comes out and of its a total hit. He and all the others who follow will change their tune, as they always do.

    Honestly I don’t like it when people look hyper realistic in my games. This isn’t a “vidja girls must look hot”, but more “oh god you spent 250K on skin textures”. This stuff puts me in the uncanny valley. I want my girls to look like my boys, cell shaded or pixels.

    Maybe I’m not the target demographic for that post, but I find that character beautiful.

    Well as director Joel Schumacher once said: people like to see beautiful people. That’s why (lead) actors are usually very beautiful, regardless of gender. I mean sure, sometimes you just need Danny DeVito but you get the point

    Although personally I don’t see what’s the problem with the screenshot, just replying to what OP said

    Disclaimer: I haven’t heard him saying it myself, Mike from channel RedLetterMedia mentioned he saw an interview with him on this topic. But regardless, it made sense to me

      Too true. Sometimes you need beautiful people, but sometimes you need perfection.

      @[email protected] how does one define “beautiful”? By who’s standard? Yours? Mine? It’s subjective and also cultural. Then there’s realness which an abundance of shows & movies also follow, casting the correct person for the mood & vibes.

      In other words… I call bullshit on Schumacher.

        Beauty is subjective but I’m willing to bet I has distribution or atleast some agreement. There are definitely people who other people tend to find more attractive than others.

            I’m not arguing characters shouldnt look normal. I was arguing the idea that there isn’t some consistency to what people generally consider attractive. I’d say across all of humanity, including all races there’s probably some agreement among attractiveness. Even without trying to define what it is. I’d say if you had people rank a group there would be some people that came out above others. I don’t think people’s opinion on attractiveness is fully random.

            Even across races. Ofc there would be variance between cultural groups but internally those groups probably have some consistency.
