I will only buy if Gerald will be the main hero, not like in the meh series.

No, that ship has sailed. It'll probably be REDLauncher only, with Denuvo, always online, with some worse custom DRM and probably full of microtransactions!

What is REDLauncher? Is that gog galaxy or something else?

This thing (I attatched an image, not sure if it has come up or not). It's a launcher for (some) CDPR games. You don't have to use it but it's the default if you don't set up your own shortcut.

I personally never saw it, but apparently CP2077 and the NEW Next-Gen Witcher 3 use it for "My Rewards" (CDReds creation club) free for now, but who knows?

I see it as a sign that CDRed is going full blown Ubisoft! I mean they went from DRM-free and free-DLCs to microtransaction ridden MMOs (Gwent) and then added a launcher to game that never had one.

Probably not. There are reports of CDPRed having hired Sweet Baby Inc writers so I fully expect their upcoming games to be garbage. But I hold my final judgement until it is actually there. A lot can happen until then and having no expectations means they can only be surpassed.

I'll wait to see what the story and gameplay is like as well as check reviews and any questionable promotions are included.


Will add that I wasn't a fan of any Witcher games up to this point despite my love of playing RPG and adventure games.

While I'm not against games / stories of other Witchers...

... I'll probably bow out if Geralt isn't the main character... which...

... I think it was confirmed recently that he isn't.

Now, could I change my mind? Maybe... if the game is brilliant, but...

... I think in the current games' industry climate it will be tough to make a brilliant Witcher game (with or without Geralt).

So will I buy Witcher 4? No plans ATM, but if CDPR blows me away... maybe...

I still haven't purchased or played CP2077.

Many people do when they played the previous ones. Thanks , where is this attacked image? I haven't used this forum much.

I plan to buy it, of course. I loved the other games (finished 3 earlier this year), the setting is fantastic and I would really enjoy to live another adventure in this universe.

My only concern is if they make it first person only like Cyberpunk, then I would probably miss it. :(

Not before they remove the My Rewards DRM from The Witcher 3.

This wasn't dev from Sweet Baby, but dev from Insomniac and she said that Sweet Baby is great studio and said that her goal is to inject DEI propaganda into the games she works on. If we ignore the obvious part about Sweet Baby, I have no idea who thought hiring the writer-dev from Insomniac was a good idea. I could understand if they hired someone who designed the combat system, but Insomniac's writing is awful and cringe.

Maybe.

Why do you want to know? Who sent you?!?

It won't attatch, idk why. If you download GWENT for free it has the launcher too if you want a closer look.
