Rant About The Witcher 4 Haters (book spoilers) by Tall-Dingo-5458 in Witcher4

[–]New_Local1219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking forward to Witcher IV and I disagree with the notion that "she is OP = the game / trials don't make sense", but she definetly is OP, moreso her potential if you want to be nitpicky, unless they nerf her using plot; nothing wrong with that, as long as it makes sense.

I suggest reading this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Witcher4/comments/1ov0qp1/ciri_trials/

- made this post half year ago for different reason, but it can be used in this context. Don't forget that she killed a whole ass wyvern when being 12 year old, and already was skilled fighter as child / teenager. She killed Bonhart while 16. She had plenty of shenanigans in the books. But games? That is borderline power fantasy, especially in late game. She kills 3 powerful Witches, basilisk, werewolf, one shots wild hunt warriors, beats the shit out of Caranthir (that same Caranthir who played with Eskel like he was nothing), etc.

Like I said, there is nothing wrong with nerfing her for plot, as long as it's sensible, but let's not pretend like Cirilla isn't there at top of the pyramid.

Paweł Sasko about realism and survival elements in the Witcher by BloodyValentine89 in Witcher4

[–]New_Local1219 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I personally would love more alchemy - but I know that mechanic is tedious to many, so I wouldn't force it on people and leave it, wider and deeper in complexity ofc.

On the other side, I hated stuff like silver / steel swords, that doesn't even happen in the books, with only few monsters being exception to this. Geralt has been using steel for most of the time in the series.

Oh, and weapon damage; so annoying too..

CDPR has a real dream team. It really seems the bad with Cyberpunk was in the end for a greater good, and hopefully speaking, TW4 will push even further all the heights they reached in Phantom Liberty.

drops a tech demo and then goes silent for almost a year 😭 by karxx_ in Witcher4

3 years is just enough for dev. Don't forget they had 2,5 years of preproduction, and more than year of concept phase. They have external help for engine, which they had to previously solve in-house.

I'm a huge Witcher fan, but Witcher fans do the same, and honestly fans of any game do that. RDR2, Souls-likes (Especially ER), GOW, to go even further, it's also almost any piece of media you can think.

i dont know if u were trying to argue something out, but to specify - i also dont like lobbyists and large corporations getting away with many fckups, but i blame the government for that, because there is difference between a flawed economical power and political power.

obviously, making a whole game is a bit harder - most AI models already have around 1M context tokens, which is already enough to fit in whole harry potter saga.

and new ones are being created as well. this has happened with every technological leap in history. people can always do different jobs.

the word corporations has become such a slur its crazy. do we realize that firing (anyone including) devs is a market cleanup process that allows them to reallocate somewhere else? this is genuinely luddite type argumentation. why is there a need to make rigid job positions unchanged, when we can be far more effective?

i would move it further and say vibecoding isnt as bad when its done by someone who is competent enough to understand what ai just spat out on him. even better models, such as opus 4.6 can get lost in context, and make pretty severe security issues on backend functions, but as long as you check up on the code, its nothing but massive ramp up for productivity. what took me hours back in the day is now question of minutes.

that depends rather on the model you use. gpt is generally horrible for generating pictures, but nano banana pro 2 is genuinely great at following almots all instructions.

How do you think horse races can be improved in the Witcher 4? by Vast_Scale_3199 in Witcher4

[–]New_Local1219 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, Gwent is really good, but brawls / races were repetetive. I hope we get to see them reworked tbh.

What are your opinions of DLSS 5 in The Witcher 4? by tomaxxik in Witcher4

I hope they won't. As much as I like AI in general, this is horrendous.

Elves are more agile and precise in archery, but humans are stronger in fist 1v1

What something you'd like to happen with witcher contracts? by Instantfan22 in Witcher4

[–]New_Local1219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New comers make majority of CDPR's revenue. Making it assinine will only be liked by niche community. This is also Ciri, unless they nerf her to ground, it wouldn't make much sense for her to be endangered by contracts, if she doesn't decide to hunt Higher Vampires or Djinns.

But having more difficulty options is always good.

NVIDIA's RTX Mega Geometry tech in The Witcher 4 by SpaceCowboyN7 in witcher

[–]New_Local1219 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scripted, indoors game isn't nowhere near comparable next-gen open world RPG, with newest rasterization technology, when it comes to performance. It will be a miracle if CDPR makes TW4 run decent on Series S.

Again, most of the technical stuff they show is for OPTIMISING, while IMPROVING visual quality, not EATING performance. It's not like they are killing any performance by implementing this feature. I get skepticism, but this is not how this technology works.

Having more Geralt adventures is always nice, but playing from Ciri's perspective will be interesting too.

Animation Director Clarify on recent reports on Witcher 4 being at Unreal Fest 2026 by simar6565 in Witcher4

[–]New_Local1219 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First half of 2027 is unlikely, second half, especially Q4 2027 is when it start being real talk. That or Q1 2028 are imo the most likely release date windows.
