3 Years of Service
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'm a console player mainly... I still remember how Cyberpunk was supposed to play "surprisingly well" on last generation consoles... What to say... let's hope they learned from their past mistakes.
I don't know how trustworthy that rumor is (the thing people does for clicks on any media, social or not)... but, and this is just me giving a totally subjective opinion, I find Ciri a lot less attractive than her Witcher 3 counterpart... usually a big red flag.
CDProject Red has one of the best writing team ever, IMHO, so if there is company needing a writing consultant, that's not them.
Last but not least, with current state of "gaming journalism", I really don't know who to trust.
Choices to make Ciri less appealing have also clearly been made.
Thing is, the Finkbucks are able to make even great studios turn to making slop.
if studios can eat 60-120 million production costs and just flush the product down the drain because uncle Larry gave them the DEI scholarship, they probably will.
