Ciri IS the main character in the books, “The Witcher” refers to Ciri. So this was always going to happen.

Uhhhh, what. It's pretty much a straight adaption. S02 will be Blood of Elves.

At this point there's more ancillary Witcher stuff than actual Witcher. They're desperately trying to keep the show "alive" until they can finish and release season 2.

Just because its longer doesn't mean its "more of an AC game."

I’m always a little perplexed when people unironically call Origins the “best of the franchise." It's barely an AC game.

The last Assassin’s Creed game was Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate. Origins is a cool egyption RPG though.

Because he loves the cinema? Im seeing Interstellar in IMAX Sunday, I’ve been waiting to get back to movie theatres for like 3 months.

Feels very Ridley Scot.

None of those were CGI though.

It's more like the other way around. Gamers can't stop talking about their Glorious RPG Masterpiece and the moment you draw ANY comparison to Sapkowski and the books their little fragile gamer hearts get offended.

Ah yes, the Sapkowski-hates-the-games-and-CD-Projekt-RED gamer myth. Did he hurt your little gamer heart? Poor thing.

So you want Star Wars to turn into assembly line movies?

The Witcher 3 (and 1 and 2) are not indicative of what The Witcher is (and imo should be). Monster hunting is not what The Witcher is about. It’s about family, empathy and interesting characters. If you’re left wanting in regards to Geralt-Killing-Monsters then bad news. The novels (the 5 books taking place after the…

The short stories (the 2 books this first season is based on) aren’t really about Ciri either, so that tracks. The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny SET-UP Ciri for the novels (5 books). I think the problem is probably that they create the impression that Ciri is a character the season will further explore when that’s…

God, this is such a bad take. The books are so much better than the games. The games have too much fan service in them and turn Geralt into Conan The Destroyer. The *books* are an a whole “other level.” The games stay squarely at “cool fantasy guy action.”

Jesus, “garbage” ????

I guess I’m one of those fans then that lost them when Origins came out. I want a stealth-action Arkham style open world game where I am an assassin, doing assassinations which is how the series played pre-Origins (for the most part). I don’t want to even *think* about levels, loot, quests and worrying about enemies…

Does your mouse have thumb buttons? Going to keybinds instead of the weird mouse direction control scheme is so much better (but I’m saying this as a Chivalry veteran). Relying on your mouse direction for the attacks just isn’t reliable enough and you’ll find that most top players also use binds. It’s called “Classic”…

It has voice commands (screams, laughs, etc) but I’ll be honest it’s lacking that Python esc atmosphere Chivalry had. Mordhau is a bit more serious.
