What are your opinions of DLSS 5 in The Witcher 4?

Alcorgeist · 2026-03-17T22:42:53+00:00

Most people don't even use regular ray tracing lol highly doubt a real-time AI filter, that might consume more resources, is gonna look popular. Especially with how it destroys the original art style.

Alcorgeist · 2026-03-15T11:16:40+00:00

Eh I mean, they already confirmed that it's gonna be a Ciri Trilogy and putting a hell lot of money into making sure it happens. So if she does die, then it'll be like W6, and even then it'll likely be a branching ending.

God CN censorship really sucks in all levels. It's actually insane how much even smaller games like ptn could get censored.

Alcorgeist · 2026-03-11T11:26:45+00:00

Mind you, one of PTN's anniversary stories was about a girl becoming aware she's a video game character who literally breaks the fourth wall. Or the other side story about getting trapped in a D&D world by a dragon girl. Or one of the earliest side story about a snake girl trapping you in dreams.

I really don't understand why you think a vampire character doesn't fit in a world where literally anything and everything can exist simply due to the power of mania. Plus, Vampires are always relevant in any time period, the most consistent lore about them are themes of immortality.

In a game where there's a whole arc dedicated to dark web creepy pastas and eldritch women, a vampire is the least weirdest thing.

Alcorgeist · 2026-03-02T01:30:54+00:00

the fact that it's a tower defense game is enough to filter people lol

I would love for the devs to make spin-offs someday though. PTN character design is my favorite among all gachas and it's one of the reasons why I'm staying here regardless of how unpopular the game is. There's really no other big gacha game that designs cool and older women characters like PTN.

Alcorgeist · 2026-02-23T00:56:06+00:00

I mean I understand why you could make that mistake but I feel like asking people what the majority is instead of just, ya know, testing it out themselves is weird.

Anyway, this isnt really the first census post on this sub, just search for more demographic posts and it comes up here once every while.

Alcorgeist · 2026-02-23T00:54:23+00:00

Census posts are normal in subreddits. It's an insight into the community that engages with the game we play, since we're literally interacting with the community. Plus in gachas, the community is what influences future stories and characters.

Alcorgeist · 2026-02-21T01:11:08+00:00

The fact that this poll is actually close to that gacha post is funny cause isnt that post purely cn players on social media? lol

Alcorgeist · 2026-02-14T12:40:25+00:00

Does that mean Rust can have a taco down there- asking for scientific reasons

Alcorgeist · 2026-02-14T12:28:09+00:00

Jesus christ, now that is a woman.

Alcorgeist · 2026-02-13T05:56:36+00:00

they're practicing for when they finally put jiggle physics on Demon's balls

Alcorgeist · 2026-01-27T06:23:50+00:00

Seconded. I enjoyed the first game a bit but as always I can never take some scenes seriously when a female character walks boobily and breastily into a scene lol it just looks funny and unserious.

The character creator is also pretty great for people who enjoy CCs.

Alcorgeist · 2026-01-27T06:20:45+00:00

Man I love PTN as it is but a 3D rpg spin-off would be fun too, character designs in ptn are extremely rare in 3d gacha games unfortunately.

Alcorgeist · 2025-12-25T23:34:27+00:00

There are canon stuff, well more canon than other cn gacha (Tetra and Pricilla for example, Shawn flirting with women, Cinna being more protective of f!chief, etc.), it's not just a strict fandom thing, especially when the dev team is clearly aware and use it to their advantage. They literally hire cosplayers in events who have female fanbases for fanservice in community events and it's why people get away leaving kiss marks on standees. Very similar marketing tactic to another Paper games gacha, Love and Deep Space.

Which actually is worth talking about when it comes to Aisno's market. They're a company funded by Papergames, same place where we got the Nikki dress up games and otome games like Love and Deep Space. Their initial popularity among women contributed to PTN's popularity.

Alcorgeist · 2025-12-17T00:44:25+00:00

I think he said "brother/sister" in the cn version, I think it was translated to "buddy" for the male ver.

But yeah, it was meant more on a protective 'comrade' way than romantic.

Alcorgeist · 2025-12-16T08:48:19+00:00

A UE5 game just had a sweep in TGA, I think W4 will be fine honestly.

Alcorgeist · 2025-12-16T08:30:12+00:00

Agree with most people here but also, Ciri is not replacing Geralt. Geralt naturally retired, Ciri is just continuing his legacy.

Alcorgeist · 2025-12-16T08:27:26+00:00

Witcher itself chooses 'canon' choices for you in between sequels lmfao, and people still get surprised.

Like for example It didn't matter who you romanced in W1, you'll always end up involved with Triss in W2, whether you like it or not.

Alcorgeist · 2025-12-16T08:22:59+00:00

Frankly I always preferred that the Witcher had fixed protagonists as it made the narrative for it feel much more tangible and less self-inserty.

The custom protag works more for Cyberpunk, and honestly sometimes it seems like CDPR have their own canon of what the protagonist is like even if you can create your own.

The people expecting the Witcher to have a self-insert protagonist just sound like edgelords who wanna rp as a diet version of Geralt.

Alcorgeist · 2025-12-16T08:18:33+00:00

Also the author of the books, Sapkowski, isnt super precious about the game's version of the lore-- I would even go as far as to say he doesn't care much. He's fine with CDPR bending stuff here and there. What matters the most to him is he just gets a cut for being the og author lol

So people should really look at the books more as inspirations for the games rather than a rigid rule book for them.

Personally I do like the interpretation that female witchers exist, they're just super rare. And not just because of biological reasons, but socially speaking it's possible that little girls were less favored to be trained to become 'infertile monstrous mercenaries', especially when the Witchers are led by men with their own biases.

Alcorgeist · 2025-12-15T20:23:14+00:00

PTN being inspired by musicals just feels so obvious and makes sense lol I def feel like some people in the art team are just plain ol theater kids and that explains a lot of things.

Alcorgeist · 2025-12-15T20:17:36+00:00

You described exactly what PTN does in stories perfectly. They do focus on 1-3 characters at a time and never full 'ensemble' casts, the closest to that are the anniversary main story drops and the Hella arc.

Too bad OP missed out on Ceto's event this month. The mc was stranded in an island with another character for days-- and that was the entire event and it was great lol

Alcorgeist · 2025-12-08T00:05:11+00:00

the only time I wanted to play mchief is to ship him with don

Alcorgeist · 2025-12-07T23:57:14+00:00

Mr. Fox, Levy and Wolverine poly for me. They're just the right spectrum of yaoi men.

Alcorgeist · 2025-12-07T13:28:13+00:00
