I'm not even mad the game is about Ciri, I just don't like that they have degraded her character into something she isn't.
You got a unique character with the combat training if a Witcher, the magical abilities of a witch, and the abilities of elder blood to boot (though supposedly limited in power post Witcher 3, I am unsure of the canonicity of that). And instead let's just reduce her to Geralt with tits. Also probably butcher her personality too, and give her no femininity too. Its just tiresome slop.
Full stop: I’m done with female protagonists. They did it with ghost of Tsushima. They did it with Witcher. Naughty Dog is seemingly incapable of creating a male lead at this point. The industry is obsessed with female characters. It’s gay and retarded.
I don’t relate to any of these girl bosses. They’re insufferable. And their physicality and capability and heroics don’t reflect what I see from women in the real world. It was one thing when every tenth action protagonist was a woman beating up dudes twice her size. It was a novelty, a little harmless subversion. Now? AAA gaming is mostly women crushing men.
Meanwhile, the audience is still 90% male. What other industry is like this? Who else looks at their customer base and says “fuck all these people, we’re gonna focus on a completely different group”?
I’m not touching Witcher 4. Because I don’t want to roleplay as a woman. Because I’m not a woman.
All they had to do was let you create your own Witcher or just bring back Geralt again and they would have printed money even if it was pozzed.

Movie industry is following suit, look at Star Wars, MCU, hell anything Disney at this point.
