The Witcher Game Series

  • 🔧 Actively working on site again.
Ciri being the protagonist has me wondering about the story choices we'll get. She's a lot more of a lawful good type character than Geralt. You could justify quite a bit of asshole-ishness as Geralt by saying witchers are apolitical* and that you were paid to do something, so you're going to do something.
 
I am not sure I am that interested in Witcher universe to play anything without Geralt. He's like a glue that keeps it all together.
for me its definitely the gameplay that concerns me more then anything, im fine with Ciri but if Combat is Jank the entire thing falls apart for me

Joseph Anderson has finally released his long awaited Witcher 3 critique on April Fools.
Apparently this critique is going to be uploaded in parts, the end of the video states part 2 will be out on April Fools next year (seems on track considering this video took him over 4 years to make).
I thought fellow Witcher autist would enjoy this, I don't always agree with what he says but it's clear he puts a lot of time and effort into his videos so I figured I'd share!
 
This became really common with games that offer a choice between male/female PCs the last decade or so. Regardless of who is more played the devs will say female PC is canon to own the Chuds and get ESG money.

Female V
Femshep
Kassandra
Eivor's foid version

All chicks. How very diverse and inclusive.
Supposedly you were able to choose male/female in Control (which is why the protagonist and sibling were given gender neutral names of Jesse and Dylan), but that got scrapped because girlboss.

Waited like 7 years to finally release this dogshit and it's only 1:30, and he hasn't even begun to actually analyze any of the content past the early prologue? Fucking dogshit lmao.

I am sure his fans will lap it up but that's an embarrassing wait and he is clearly spinning his heels on purpose as he said virtually nothing of substance.

Joseph Anderson watchers are the real April Fools joke.

It's pretty meh. I listened to it in batches and the only thing I remember is him getting massively offended that Yennefer acts like a bitch, despite her character being that. Supposedly next part will feature actual critiquing that can be argued about. But I'll bey most of it will be bullshit about how the game doesn't go full in with the lore and doesn't have too much variety.

The only sorceress that doesn't go full bitch at times is Triss, and even she goes half-bitch plenty.

What fire magic does to a motherfucker, I swear...
Triss was a big-titted redhead with a less annoying accent than Yennefer and she was far less of a cunt to Geralt. Yes I know it's canon that Yen is like that and Geralt has terminally bad taste in women but I did like that you could tell Yen to fuck off in place of Triss in The Witcher 3.
 
I liked the part with Yennifer and the Djinn. Ok, we've broken the curse. Yea, I don't feel anything for you now, sorry Yen.

Shani will always be my waifu.

I love the drinking scene in 3 where Eskel and Lambert try to do an intervention on Geralt when it comes to his poor choices in women. Naturally they call it off, and you play Gwent and I Never instead, which goes even worse for all parties, eventually followed up by a sentence only a drunken Witcher could utter without any sense of foreboding doom: "Fuck yeah, summon the bitches!"

Gotta say, White Gull must be a hell of a drink if it gets Lambert to rethink his feelings on being around sorceresses. Although I do wonder how he knows so much about getting into women's clothes as opposed to just getting their wearers out of them...
 
I'd elaborate that Joseph Anderson really amps up how they "ruined" Yennefer to the point that he had to stop playing. Really cringy fake shit.

If anything, a woman having double standards on men's actions is the most realistic thing in the series.
Magically tossing a bed out of the window because an amnesiac Geralt fucked another woman in it is one of the most woman things imaginable.
 
Isn't Geralt having a Denji esque preference for dangerous/unstable women a running gag in the books?
