Unfortunately, its also no surprise it has generated a small corner of outrage.
The cinematic trailerreveals Ciri as the games protagonist.
Unfortunately, it seemsmany people who havent have now decided to be angry at it.
We Were Always Going To Be Ciri
Playing as Ciri is not a shock.
It was not even a cool reveal - it was just assumed.
It was my ending, which makes it the most important.
I just thought we all knew Ciri was the lead this time?
Gaming discourse has regressed in recent years, and grows more disingenuous by the day.
The standards for beauty are too high for this line on Ciri to hold up to scrutiny.
Also, to be crass for a moment, I think Ciri looks pretty hot.
Theres a Cate Blanchett circa Mr. Ripley going on.
She looks a little older,because, well, shes older,but thats about it.
Yes, they cannot make new true Witchers anymore.
She carries herself as a Witcher, does a Witchers duty, and is called Witcher by the townspeople.
But okay, lets give everyone the benefit of more doubt than they deserve.
Lets see how gamers feel about new IP with female leads.
Its no wonder Eve, the opinionless naked robot fromStellar Blade, is the only female considered worthy.
Ciri was always going to be the protagonist, its such a pointless argument to make.
Its like being sad when Kenny dies in South Park.
Where have you been?
If the games flop, they take a victory lap.
The hypocrisy should be remembered.
