Yes nothing fun or creative today, just a quick look at Slum's morning.

I have very little faith in game journos, god knows they're prone to lying their cheeks off, but I do trust what I see, and that's a clear narrative shift to what we see in trailer (compare "no gods here, only monsters" to Witcher 3 trailer and Geralt "Slaying monsters" scene for a good idea of how one poses morally evil people and how another poses tradition as psychological device that people hide their choice behind).

I just saw the new trailer in my own language, to be sure to get all the nuances right. I agree with you on the subtext, but there is also a less effective narration, IMHO.
The older one is straight to the point, no detour, the message and the overall atmosphere of the game is conveyed effectively.
This new one takes its time before delivering its message. It's more spectacular, but also less effective. We'll see when the narrative/gameplay trailer will be released if we're wrong or not.

Bear in mind, Ciri ≠ Geralt - They're different characters, with different sensibilities. Ciri is younger, more inexperienced, more ideoloical. Geralt is old, world weary, cynical.
You can't take a 4 minute Trailer and say "The writing is worse/better/equal" because you've seen nothing at all. You've seen less than 0.1% of what you'll be getting in the final product.

Good morning Monokuma, how are you? Did you make sure your robotic batteries got charged last night?

 

[barbarian]

I must have some type of OCD, i keep putting my coins in the bank as soon as i get them.

Good Morning Fellow Lurkers, O happy day!!! The next installment of FF7 is finally being released on Steam!

I guess it's time to break down and finaly play Rebirth that I bought off Steam the 1st time it went on sale oh so long ago. Thankfully Square's not being stupid this time and only putting the game on epic. Sales must've been hurting more than we thought and they've been letting on.

I did! Took them out a Vibrator and now I'm just buzzing all over the place like a jackhammer of chaos.

Then all you're doing is delaying your interest! It resets with each deposit.

I did it too at first.... Only because this it was more profitable in my mind to get it up to a certain number and then wait

At the very least, hold off on doing it until you hit 100LC

That's... odd, let me check real quick

EDIT : Just checked and I don't have that issue

I wouldn't call anything in this thread a war, more like we post funny pig pictures, and no one fights back.

Bear in mind, Ciri ≠ Geralt - They're different characters, with different sensibilities. Ciri is younger, more inexperienced, more ideoloical. Geralt is old, world weary, cynical.

I beg to differ. I (we) saw the trailer and compared it to a previous one. I'm judging that and only that and, IMHO, of course, I don't find the new one as effective as the old one. Killing monsters went straight to the point, this new one is more spectacular but delays its point. In the older one in a few minutes you get themes such as war (with Nilfgard involved), famine, abuses. The new one gives you a generic medieval polish/slavic setting and a single theme: superstition.
I also specified that we need to see more to see what the story will be about. I keep my finger crossed. Cyberpunk managed to be inclusive without being preachy and gave us many gray charachters. Hopefully CDProject Red will deliver again.

And since I mentioned superstition...

Fair enough then! I'll shut my trap. If you're just like for liking, 1:1ing, two trailers, go for it. I think I was just reading between imaginary lines that there was insunation that, either trailer, was a reflection of an end product. As a trailer, I enjoyed it and felt it was effective at showing us Ciri.
I, personally, don't see a value in saying "Trailer from this game is better than trailer from that game" because... Well. Seems a moot point to me. But certainly no harm in doing so and more power to you!
