Just what I always wanted to play as, a Japanese school girl!

Seriously WTF. I think I played the first four on console back in the day, and love them but they all have their ups and downs, I'm definitely not the target audience for this one even though it looks good.

Yeah, not too sold on the Japanese schoolgirl protagonist, but I'll give it a go anyway since I enjoyed the previous ones.

Eh, I'm of two minds with the Ciri stuff.

On one hand, she was trained by Geralt, whose entire demeanor is big badass with a soft voice and several big sticks. She's going to carry that arrogance (especially as a continuation of the same story) and it's likely she would act in a similar manner, but with her own quirks as evidenced by previous games. Hence, you get overly confident and "oh shit, I fucked up" kind of reactions from her to things she takes for granted, which is a lot because she was trained by Geralt, who fucked up a lot while still being a badass.

I get it.

On the other hand, without the entire "witchers are basically drug enhanced humans" angle behind it, her being a witcher is laughable at absolute best. It's a common problem with video game artists in the modern era. They try to make 120lb broads the equivalent of 240lb jacked dudes in most situations, and it rings (correctly) absolutely false for the majority of the playerbase. Not that I want a super butch lady as a protagonist, but she should be huge lesbian levels of jacked if she has been constantly swinging swords around for years. Her being built like a barista at a local coffee shop just comes off as... retarded. Who cares about her face; she's literally not physically descriptive for the role she is playing. Or for the backstory. Or for what she is being shoehorned into doing.

She's just not believable, even in a fantasy world.

Anyone else looked into this? Just came across it a few days ago and hhad never heard of it before. It looks like a cyberpunky GTA.

its published by the hitman devs but not made by them. first impressions have been pretty bad but its hard to trust reviewers nowadays, game is out in 3 days so we'll see.

the game was expensive as hell apparently to dev ($200m+? ex rockstar devs) and has literally zero hype 3 days before launch. Some of the character models look rough as hell

Also this, so yeah, this looks like they just ran out of money, so no advertisement, and they're just rushing the release to try to get some money back.

thats the big problem with female space marines that thge lefties are constantly screaming about. basically space marines have had puberty hijacked and it made them grotesquely overmuscled.

but if you did that to a woman you'd wind up with a horrific slab of muscle on a weird little frame and it would be utterly unfeminine. you basically would wind up with a wow dwarf, facial hair and all and nobody wants that.
