At least we got a few great games from cdpr before their success caused their inevitable switch to standard industry tactics. It happens to every studio.
Ciri is already more powerful than a witcher. She wouldnt have to become a witcher if she wanted to hunt monsters. Its so unbelievably dumb.
The first 2mins of this video make me want to watch the game trailer more, as those are the only minutes I watched of this rage-bait drivel
Thought provoking content my friend. Don’t let people tell you otherwise
Love your reviews. Your penchant for storytelling that no longer exists in games. Are you catholic?
what a sad little life you must have
Dear anti - woke why do you torture yourself?
1:20 They aren't the heart of "our" stories, this is naughty dogs story, if you don't like it then go find what you do like, and stop expecting naughty dog to bend to your preferences
"woke" in the big 25', bro, just say ur mysognistic lmaoooooo
@@evan_ogv-g4n how is me wanting a girl to look feminine instead of being an androgynous creature hating women? On the contrary, it’s people like you that defend the erasure of the feminine archetype that hate women! Also what does the current year have to do with the argument?
Lmao didn't you get the memo? 25 is the start of things going back to normal and not this identity politics crap everywhere

Since there are a couple of repeating comments you guys leave I'd like to address them all here. 1. Is Ciri ugly in the trailer? My answer: Compared to what? How the main protagonist of an action RPG should look like? Compared to Ciri from Witcher 3? Sure she is not ugly in general but expectation-wise I'd prefer playing the hot Ciri to post wall Ciri lol 2.My problem with Ciri as MC is that she is a woman. My Answer: Not at all, the problem is that she, a woman, performs physically impossible acrobatics for her gender and stature. In Witcher 3 she was far more agile, assassin-like fighter which was far more suiting to her stature. I disregard the LORE excuses and make a META critique of this type of art as inexcusable. 3. I never played Witcher 3, if I did I'd know she was always set up as the next MC. My Answer: I have 72 hours on steam, I played through the entire game and both DLCs. Ciri became the empress in my playthrough how is that the set up for being a witcher is unknown to me.
bruh I'm tired of grifters in the assassins creed and Witcher communities go touch grass
This is some QuantumTV Elden Ring Critique type shi...
You can tell the guy never had contact with a woman irl. Have you ever noticed how ugly Geralt is, relatively? Women also have mishapen faces, ugly bodies, dry ass skin, crooked noses and bushy eyebrows. Not to mention her being "ugly" has sense: being a witcher brings a shit ton of stress, and faces get ugly from stress,if you haven't noticed irl.Ever seen traumatized people? Observe how "ugly" their eyes and facial features are. It's not woke its real smh
Hey pal. You just blow in from stupid town?
Hope this is satire.. Because holy fuck this is a shit take
All these people that are mad that ciri is the new protagonist have played the witcher 3 with their eyes closed and you can’t convince me otherwise.
I remember choosing an ending that made her an empress. I guess my eyes were closed and I didn't see they meant a witcher.
Dude youre absolutely trash and just trying to cash in on some BS rage bait.... A- literally ANYONE who ever played Witcher 3 would 100000% know Ciri was always going to be the natural progression for the main protag and hands down fuckin adore that character. B- Her design is fan-fuckin-tastic and even stevie wonder could see that C- If you actually paid attention to the damn video youre trying to shill off of, those physical differences between her and Geralt are specifically shown, she has to struggle with her sword when it gets pinned, she has to tack multiple whacks to chop off an arm and the head... shes displayed in the video as still being strong and experienced (which she fuckin would be) but also shown as having to be capable and clever utilizing her strengths to make up for areas she may not be as strong as Geralt. Ultimately the silver lining to all of this is your walmart quality video will be lucky to peak past 1k views so I dont have to worry about this bullshit catching on.
Also, props to the comments section... most of yall already know whats up.
64 dislike to 8 likes u know ur done bro sit down dog xdxdxdxdxdxdxdxdx
It’s not woke, she looks 10x better in the new W4 than she does in W3 and CIRI was always supposed to become a Witcher it is her destiny….
Not sure where you find that she was supposed to become something she could never be (being a female). In fact she is far more than a witcher, a messianic type figure, not sure how becoming a witcher is a compliment
@ I will tell you where, in the first book…. Geralt made a deal with emyhr on the ‘ Law of surprise’ after saving his life literally 2 seconds before they realised Pavetta ( Ciri’s mother ) was pregnant which means that ciri was bound to Geralt before anyone knew Pavetta was even pregnant, and in the book Geralt wanted the law of surprise because he wanted to make a Witcher…. It was her Destiny regardless of her elder blood
Granted, It's my error talking about things I don't know much about considering I haven't read the books but...Here is what Grok says about Geralt's motivation: Initially, Geralt invokes the Law of Surprise almost flippantly, not fully understanding its gravity or implications. It's more of a tradition among Witchers rather than a deliberate choice to gain a child. However, when he realizes the child is Ciri, his motivations shift. Geralt does NOT wish for Ciri to become a Witcher; in fact, he's quite protective of her, often trying to shield her from the harsh realities of the Witcher's life.
Ciri is perfect for the main character
Perhaps, but not as a witcher and not fighting the way she does in the trailer
It will fail because of Rebel Wolves. CDPR must be more concerned about The Blood of the Dawnwalker reveal than anything else concerning the witcher 4.
Yes, very excited about their work. But remember the success of one game has nothing to do with the failure of another, it's the W4 devs that will ruin their own game if they pursue this woke nonsense
I dont think it will fail. If both games are good, players will play it. I dont quite get the argument that The Blood of the Dawnwalker is a competitor. Its not like LoL and Dota where devs compete for player base to survive. I think it doesnt work that way in these kind of games
It seems to me that you never played the game, anyone who has played (and finished) The Witcher 3 was waiting for Ciri as the protagonist
Perhaps, but not as a Witcher. I remember choosing the empress ending, to me it makes no sense
co ty pierdolisz? ruchaleś kiedyś ? :D
> I just knew, from first thumbnail, this will be another bs video for clicks, which will not have any valid points and it will be pointless crying. > Look in comments. > i was right. > Bye clown.
There's a lot of forced "woke" garbage in games these days. This is not one of those. After everything that happened in Witcher 3 and its DLC's, I would have been disappointed if Geralt was back; he earned his retirement.
Admittedly it's not forced and I agree about Geralt, but I could still bet it'll be hella woke, just from the track record of the studio in the past few years
Why everyone calla everything woke now days, just say it's gay
Actually I do not disagree, I'm pretty sure Sapkowski is at least a classical liberal so even though I have read very little of his work I'm not surprised by what you're telling me. The reason I use goes is because this is a sequel to Witcher 3 the video game which, overall, I would not describe as woke though it certainly has some elements of the ideology
Calling Witcher 4 woke before it even came out is fucking crazy
Cd projekt has never went woke before and has always delivered perfectly amazing games, just because the protagonist is a woman does NOT mean that the game would be shit or woke. Ciri has always been powerful and perfect to play as a female witcher, even Witcher 3 was set up in a way that she would be becoming the next protagonist regardless. I would advice you to read the books and get some more knowledge on the Witcher saga but considering how brainless your takes were i can tell even reading the books won't do you any good and the rage bait that you are trying to achieve through this video might get you views but won't change the foolishness in your person and your takes. Anyways, i hate the idea of "woke" but that does not mean that if a protagonist is a female makes the entire saga automatically shit. Get the bitterness out of yourself and actually think before preaching your views 🤦♂
I appreciate your feedback it's well thought out. I do not however agree that my argument was that she is a woman hence that's the problem, it was rather that she is a woman performing a certain kind of physically impossible fight in the trailer. My argument is general, it's in regards to the role of art and simulacra. If she did the same in the books it would still stand. Her fighting style in Witcher 3 was far more agreeable to her constitution but perhaps I should have flashed out that point harder. thank you.
🤡🤡💩🤡🤡
I'm a shit clown I agree
How do you know, for a fact, that this will be woke? We’ve already played as Ciri before and know that she’s a badass so she’s not a Mary Sue. It seems to me that you’re just riding the typical grift to make a little money. I’m wary of any game announcement for sure, but saying this is woke because it features a female protagonist we already know and like is just retarded. Make actual content that’s good and not an easy attempt at a cash grab.
I mean is it woke just because they wrote an amazing ending for one character and wish to continue with another? That they did already set up as a possible protagonist more that 10 years ago?
As someone who is generally conservative, I'm embarrassed to be associated with people like you. Get a life.
Did you even play the Witcher games?
If you think Ciri looks ugly... I dont know what world you are livining in. Step out of pornhub. And enter the real world.
I'm not worried about her being the main character because I just won't purchase the game and be done with cdpr games from after Witcher 3 until the day I die. If geralt is t the main I just won't play it
Geralt decided in the end of the witcher 3 game to retire so it wasn't a big shock to see a new MC . Ciri is a good character it may be concerning because of all of the woke agendas everywhere but if it's executed right it will be a good game. Time only will tell
He didn't retire lol
@@joshuabapp2402 yeah he didn't say it directly but he was saying in the last dialog in blood & wine dlc that he is now too old for new adventures and may try to spend some time with his friends and ciri. So you can say it's an unofficial retirement like vizimer maybe 🤔
@@joshuabapp2402 we knew he won't be a main protagonist for almost ten years and people are still surprised
I agree and I hope it turns out well, sometimes criticism is important prior to making a mistake
I always hated forced woke stuff in movies and games, but the whole forced "Ciri controversy" is making me hate anti-woke content creators even more.
Admittedly I'm very conservative, so I understand this won't fly as woke to most people but that's how I see it, thanks for the feedback
Wow. A lot of bad takes in this video
A lot of CDPR shills like you brigading this tiny ass channel's video. Do you all coordinate on discord to try and shut down criticism against the Witcher 4?
@@fluxmuldar what makes you so paranoid, dude?
@@atisnicholson1844 I don't know, maybe the fact that this channel's 5 other videos have less than 400 views combined while this one has over 900, and the comments are full of shills insulting the video creator rather than providing any valid counterarguments? Maybe you all the ones who are paranoid that your favorite game franchise won't do well.
@fluxmuldar yeah, I know, it doesn't make any sense. Who knows why it's being recommended to Witcher fans. A true mystery
@@atisnicholson1844 If it's being recommended to you, then you're actively seeking out and watching videos critical of the Witcher 4. The algorithm recognizes that and gives you more of these videos, regardless of the channel's size. There's no reason this tiny channel's video would be recommended to you unless you were actively seeking out this specific type of discourse. That so many of you converged here suggests either a brigading effort, or you're all individually very sensitive about criticism of this game.
They really butchered her looks in the new trailer. There was absolutely nothing wrong with how she looked in the Witcher 3. She was probably one of the best looking female game characters ever. And yet somehow CDPR got the bright idea to make her look worse.
Well i think she looks badass.. Shes also older you know.
@@Sjakub5CZ Older doesn't completely change your bone structure and puff up your face like you overdosed on Botox. They used a completely different face model and it looks terrible. And I see the shills are out in force. How did you all even find this tiny channel's video? Did CDPR hire a marketing company to brigade anti-Witcher 4 videos?
Honestly it's crazy how most people don't see it and outright claim she looks better now lmao
I think this is incredibly stupid. Yes there is a woke problem in the industry, but Ciri is not ugly. She looks very good and all you people only use the picture with the angle which makes her looks bad. Cdpr may have embraced DEI, but one thing you people are refusing to see is the fact that they did this years ago and have not been forcing agendas into their games wnd it doesn't look like they have now. They had every chance to force it onto gamers with cyberpunk wnd its DLC which they didnt do because their inclusivity is doen naturally unlike american devs. But honestly you people are deliberately choosing to become stupid just so you can complain about the company. They havent done anything wrong so far. You people need some common sense
the video is clearly rage bait for views, Witcher 4 is going to do just fine bro
@aaryabhardwaj9255 it's not just him. So many UA-camrs are trying their best to make sure CDPR fails just because of the DEI stuff. I will admit it they make their games infested with DEI stuff with social politics then yes we can complain because players don't want that. But CDpR has really done nothing bad so far and it's not just small channels like this one making videos like this but also larger ones
Sometimes criticism is aimed at preventing mistakes. We talk about it this way because we love the IP and would like it to stay true to traditional story telling tropes as much as possible. Thanks for feedback
Bruh the ending of Witcher 3 literally sets up that Ciri would be the next MC. Also if that’s “ugly” then I’m the pope.
the witcher has ALWAYS been about Ciri, idk how these pepegas never realised this.
Ciri being the new main character isn't the problem. The problem is that CDPR broke the lore to make her into a Witcher and severely downgraded her looks to appeal to you modern audience types. And I guess you are the pope, because she IS ugly.
U still got time to delete this shit...
having a female main charater does not mean Woke, that is what the book goes with, the witcher games and books all set up ciri as the main protogonist, now what you are suggesting is keeping the geralt as main character which is understandable but it is not what the source material says.
trash take and will not fail plus you never played any Witcher game
100%
Goes "Woke"???? Have you actually ever played the games or, better yet, read the books??? It was always woke! In the books, primarily novels, "Blood of Elves" through "The Lady in the Lake," Ciri is the main character. So yes, a story about strong female LGBT protagonist written 1994! She kills Leo Bonhart. A man who has killed three Witchers on his own!
Dude have you even played Witcher? Everything sets up for Ciri to be next main protagonist. Also, it is confirmed that no "woke" studios work with CDPR on Witcher 4. So please, make some research before posting a vid.
That Woman is NOT ugly
Yes she is. Go get your eyes checked.
Compared to what? How the main protagonist of an action RPG should look like? Compared to Ciri from Witcher 3? Sure she is not ugly in general but expectation-wise I'd prefer playing the hot Ciri to post wall Ciri lol
How did you feel about the game?
I like the game but the story sucked because it was a ripoff of outer wilds but half-baked. If you like starfield's story play outer Wilds you wont regret it
