Oh yeah, forgot about that one. Yeah, its definitely the one bright spot of the Iconic shotguns. I think Mox looks pretty solid going by its listed stats, but I've never gotten it since I've always romanced Judy but she never calls to tell me she's got something special for me.
 
I know about "Janusz mentality" well enough (for anyone non-Polish, Janusz is both a meme name for calling typical Polish men in their 50s and a term for a sleazy, greedy "enterpreneur"). And it's true that among Polish gamedev studios no other company embodies it as well as CDPR - to the point of simping to femoids (like a typical Janusz would do); but good Janusz has to also have his henchmens/sycophants. Paweł Sasko is the biggest one by far. This fucker is plastered all over the Internet, rushing to CDPR's "defense" with his "erm... akshually" bullshit: "Paweł Sasko said triple A RPG's will hit a wall", "Paweł Sasko said he's disappointed with gamers" (because they didn't find a minute easter-egg) - who cares about your feelings? And RPGs WILL hit a wall if you try to cram as many niggercattle slop as possible to artificially swell the playtime. Who told those mongoloids that more bullshit to do=more better?

Witcher 4 will end as a slopfest. CDPR is just a shadow of its former glory - and Witcher 3 was the first time cracks were seen.

TW4 is going to be the next cyberpunk 2077.

There was a playthrough where I couldn't get her to give it as well. I never liked the Carnage mark of shotty personally but that was purely due to feedback and handling rather than effectiveness.

I love TW3 but I have to remind you that there were severe lighting and foliage downgrades as a result of open world and lazy programming, they likely gutted it just to run on the Xbox One. But even then it's still bizarre given the earlier gameplay footages had the correct shading. It took a fan modder for HD Restoration to look as it should which became the next gen update (which runs like dogshit and looks way worse on PC with TAA and other slop lmfao). I lost faith in CDPR after the next gen disappointment. Runs nice on PS5, but on PC it's unforgivable trades. Thankfully you can play older versions. DX11 runs more stable than the DX12 version but it's still off last I played (2023).

Very late to this. At the time, TW2 was one of the best looking games on the market and in some ways, it still holds up. It was what motivated me to blow all my high school student summer wages on a PC. No one I knew had a beefy enough PC to play any good looking titles of the era and I haven't had anything roll my eyeballs on the floor like that since stepping out of the sewers in Oblivion.
 
Looks like CDPR have hired a bunch of old karens for their witcher4 developer team :story:

I'm surprised by all the people worried that witcher 4 will ruin the franchise considering its never been particularily good to begin with. Combat was already abysall dogshit so it can't possibly get worse and the writing was already fuckawful.

Like yeah, the bloody baron was great, but the bloody baron is borderline false advertising because there's no other quest that gets even remotely near the same level of detail, writing, choices and moral ambiguity.

99% of the rest of the game's writing is closer to Cerys vs Hjalmar.

Cerys is the OBVIOUS person the devs wanted you to choose.

She's intelligent, wise, mature, progressive, diplomatic, everyone talks about how awesome she is and has the makings of a near perfect leader.

Hjalmar is a bumbling retard who's childish, impulsive, and makes every stupid decision a man could make. The only reason anyone would ever choose him, is because they either already chose Cerys on another playthrough or because they don't want a woman as a leader.

The game is heavily stacked in Cerys's favor.

Smart, wise, mature, great leader?

Or dumb retard who will destroy the isles by engaging in every war he can find?

People worried that witcher 4 will be a girlbossfest are hillarious, did you people even play witcher 3, or did you just watch a youtube essay on the bloody baron and thought the entire game is like this?

Witcher has awful combat, bad writing, and barebones RPG mechanics, what are people afraid the witcher 4 will ruin exactly?

The witcher schools are dead, witcher is a dying profession, there's no one alive who even knows how to perform the witcher transformation, and Ciri apparently doesn't have anything better to do than work as a pest exterminator around the countryside.

A story about Ciri as a gifted kid who had all the opportunities in the world but failed to launch in spite of it all and got burnt out could be interesting even if it wasn't particularly fitting. They won't do that though, I imagine it will be full girlboss mode.

My bet is the main story will be about the lodge of sorceresses trying to control Ciri. They tried to do it in the books and in the third game already. What else could it even be about? Nilfgaard won, the Wild Hunt is dead, I guess it could be about saving elves and dwarves from genocide but the ship has long since sailed on that.
 
If you think about it, Ciri is a test tube baby pushed too much to excel in childhood, which had the opposite effect than intended.

And yeah the mover & shaker of the lodge is at least blinded and in prison.

Nah Philippa is totally dead. bitch deserves it for stringing along uber simp Dijkstra
 
I don't know what you guys are talking about, but as far as the games at least half of the Lodge are still alive (depending on choices in the 2nd and 3rd games). Philippa escapes and is in hiding while doing experiments to get her vision back. There's a whole part of the story where one of the events to determine the ending is letting Ciri talk to Philippa alone when she's trying to talk her into joining. I'm sure at least a few of the surviving members will show up in the story, like running into Lambert and Kiera or a quest where you have to find Triss in Kovir if the story takes place in that area. Maybe they'll bring back Philippa with her gaining her sight back and she gives Ciri an ultimatum to go with her plans or die which goes into a boss fight, or they could just keep her in exile since she's supposed to be dead in the books.

i dont care about any of this
 
I wonder how they're going to do levels. Witcher 3 had it pretty decent with variety, pick between melee, alchemy, or magic skills.

If they let us cast full magic instead of just signs that would be cool. It could make up for losing alchemy since she's not a witcher all the potions would just kill her.

The best Witcher 3 build was light attack and alchemy. Geralt looking like he just hit the fattest crack pipe in every cutscene because he's on 8 different potions was always hilarious.
 
I can see magic working (just ass-pull it as her supergenes let her without much training) but signs are a no-go because that requires the mutations. She almost fucking died just trying to light a campfire. And it would overlap with magic too much anyway.

What bothers me most is the story. I'm a 2077 apologist, but apparently people didn't like CDPR's first original story and this one will have to make a lot more concessions to make it work.
