Stands to reason she's has her face broken once or twice.
The skin looks a bit too smooth for a medieval setting, but maybe its magic 🤷
she is so magical that the biggest baddest faction was hunting her most of her life, only fair it also grants perfect skin.
Probably. Her adopted mother, the witches, do this, so maybe they taught her.
I blame UE5 though
This is more psychotic than any of the dialogue in American Psycho.
Oh, it is not. It is on par with the book.
The book is faaaaaar more psychotic than the movie.
Is it more American too
You like Huey Lewis And The News?
Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about the band itself.

Bet this guy can tell someone’s IQ by their ~~skin color~~ skull shape.
oh noooo a fictional female character that is not catered for my wanking needs boohoo
I'm more worried about her having mutation potions (and them working instantly, but that's more expected), they better have a damn good reason for her body not melting
They pretty explicitly make it sound like she underwent Witcher mutations in the meantime. How that happens, I have no idea, maybe it'll be a plot point in the game? If they hand-wave it away I'll be disappointed
Yeah I was also wondering as soon as I saw her cat-like eyes.. Thought it's not possible anymore but let's see. Hopefully they'll explain it
Wasn't one of the endings of Witcher 3 that Ciri goes through the trial of the grasses and becomes a witcher? Seems pretty damn possible to me.
I can't remember but I thought that for the Witcher ending I had she didnt go through the trials. I mean one reason is iirc that there is noone knowing how to do it.
What's a couple decades with a dying witcher school, the world's most powerful sorceresses and the ability to teleport to the dimension where magic was birthed?
I'm pretty sure Yenn or Triss mention how trivial it would be for them to figure out the potions and transmutations required to make the trials happen but the Witchers are very, very against an outsider touching it all. The original plans were made by a sorceress in any case.
I'm sure they'll have a perfectly reasonable way of explaining how she went through the trials.
She looks 40, now as a 30 year old I couldn't have less of a problem. At this stage of my life I prefer my women to look like they've been an adult for a while.
I find her extremely well made, kinda like I imagined when reading the book: full of scars, beefy, and angry at the stupidity of tradition (recurring theme in the books)
When you get so into looksmaxxing that you start sounding like you're going through psychosis
One of the reasons I avoid the gaming communities. So much complaining / whining / negativity / cynicism.
Misogyny, racism, transphobia, toxicity, unfunniness, bullying. Fuck gaming communities. I'll play my single player games and seldom post anywhere about them.
Women bad.
This is like the lame version of those people who can locate your position on the globe by analysing the only visible cloud in one of your photos.
more like mentally unwell people who get that invested in the media they come to analyze the bone structure of a character and link it as a reason to some imaginary wokeness
Yeah it’s sad. I’ve also seen a lot of people crying because Ciri is just sooo boring. I’m guessing those either didn’t play or like W3.
I will say I’m disappointed in the voice actor change as I liked the original VA, but any fan will get over that pretty quickly.
Her facial shape or whatever does look slightly different from W3 Ciri in ways that don’t happen just with age but given the new engine and whatnot, who cares :) (also a Witcher goes through many physical changes so it fits lore-wise also)
Must be the same kind of person that cares what a man's canthal tilt is.
Say what
I wish she had sharper rather than rounder features to resemble her model in W3 closer, but I don't see anything wrong with her new look, and anyone who does should probably touch grass.
Also, I'm an inveterate enemy of the braid
I agree with everything you've said, but with the comment that the trailer as a whole had uncanny valley vibes to me. I think that the red pill crowd don't know how to properly voice their complaints. They see the model look different like you said and they like it less. Maybe they see the same sort of general weirdness in the characters like I do. Then they chalk it up to making characters less perfectly beautiful because they're going woke lol.
Witcher 4 comments are bad, but Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is getting a lot worse heat. You would think that a new IP by renowned devs who have not made a single bad game would be hype.
They're exceptionally upset that the rough-and-tumble female bounty hunter lead character of the 80's cassette-retro-futurism sci-fi action game isn't some generic-looking 80's supermodel type, instead of someone who you'd actually expect to be a space-bounty hunter. I have no doubt Naughty Dog has made another banger game, but sexist coomers are gonna be sexist coomers, and there's not a whole lot you can do for them.
Yeah, like when was there ever a heroine in 80s action sci fi that was a no-nonsense rough & tumble ass-kicking type? I can't think of a single one, let alone multiple iconic characters that headlined my favourite movies from the era.
First I can think of is Ellen Ripley from Alien and Aliens. Didn't start out badass or ass-kicking, but sure as shit ended up doing so.
Her and Sarah Connor were the main ones. T2 wasn't technically 80s but it's close, and the character started in the 80s.
If only that era of movies hadn't spawned a TV Trope that sadly coloured these folks' perceptions on strong, independent, rough and tumble women: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VasquezAlwaysDies
It looked like just weird angles and lighting to me.
the trailer did feel a bit off in general, what really gets to me is how.. badly? ciri fights, she just throws up her sword over and over again which makes her look like a panicked amateur, when she's supposed to have trained with a sword since childhood!
So what is the point they are trying to make in that video?
Is it just listing facial changes since Witcher 3? Or is it whining because the girl became less fappable in their opinion and claim it is woke?
Well you see, she isn’t wearing bikini armor and flirtatiously interacting with everyone in the trailer, so it is woke. Wokedy woke woke.
I'm soooo excited. Ciris whole story arc in the prior games. Now seeing her as an older adult.
I know this post is about the toxicity of people. But I'm excited, that's all.
Determining if games are any good is getting really tiring because it involves wading through an insufferable number of manchildren whining about stupid things.
Essentially you need to find some influencers you agree with. That are willing to call out a game for being shit, too.
Wait for game to be out, wait for your favourite YouTuber to review it. Read Steam reviews that aren't oneliners or religious rants
Just don't preorder. You know what I told my friends several years ago?
"Cyberpunk 2077 is the first game I'm actually considering preordering because it looks so awesome"
I didn't. And I'm glad I didn't. I still enjoyed the game a lot, just later, after it had been patched to hell and back.
I don’t want to sound like a neck beard but I would prefer her character model to look like her w3 one with just age applied. This one looks like someone doing cosplay and they also have Botox. It was cool trailer … excited about Ciri … just hope they improve her model.
you'd sound a lot less like a neck beard if you just didn't comment on her looks?
I want her to look like the same character who was in w3. It seems off to me.
