"I'm your BFF and I'm about to die at the end of tutorial" guy.

I suspect that the latinobro only dies if you go full nuts in that particular quest. It would be strange to reveal that he dies no matter what.

Also in Witcher lore the sorceresses are exceedingly beautiful and grand looking by design (something the show kind of fucked up).

What changed in the show? I haven't(and probably won't) see it.

It would be very strange to downplay provocative dress and sexuality in an urban futuristic setting. Electronic club/party scenes are already full to the brim with that stuff and have been for ages. Of course CDPR care more about politics and sensibilities than the artistic integrity of the setting, though. Just like how gore has only been reduced in films/games over the years.

Yennefer is okay looking but the girl they got to play Triss looks like a fucking Walmart Mom and dressed in a nightgown looking thing. At least Yen wears nice clothes and has quality tits. It was mostly Triss that annoys me.

Also Yen fights with a sword instead of magic 90% of the time and takes on like 5 big dudes at once, which... okay.

Ahaha, they made Triss black?!?! She looks ancient, like a leather cushion come to life.

My team has the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit.
These are the times we live in.

To be fair, a lot of shows-based-on-books struggle when casting the women because they're almost always hotter in the book than you can find as working yet affordable actresses in hollywood. Whereas the guys mostly just have to be ripped.

Geralt is kind of handsome too in a rugged way, I don't think the casting requirements for that role were merely 'be ripped'

Same goes for every single male superhero from MCU, or any other fantasy/comic book franchise. The guys are always Adonis..es, chiseled from granite

I'm not arguing with that, but I just think it's an easier ask to get a leading man actor who is in (or will get in) great shape and is reasonably handsome than to find women that are, per lore, supposed to be exquisitely beautiful (but, because it's a tv show, also need to be decent actors). There aren't a ton of super hot actresses out there in Hollywood right now imo.

But yeah... the current social climate has a lot to do with it too.

I agree, Triss is a big fail. And Fringilla. The rest of the sorceresses are rather ok. Personally found Yenn pretty great.
But yeah, her dagger skillz/aptitude were rather... surprising. The entire dragon confrontation very underwhelming and wrong.

Though not as surprising as badass Vilgefortz (only human to ever best Geralt in a duel... or rather massacre him) spending all his mana on a silly returning sword trick and getting his ass kicked by pushover Cahir (whom Geralt kicked around like a puppy)...

ASAP Rocky - shitty modern mumble rap

Rocky is like way older and like a different generation than current mumble rappers, sis. I mean he’s well known for having pretty flows in his raps:



Ignorance is so not a good lewk.

Who cares what subgenre of talking niggas is this? It's talking niggas. Listen to some real music, dude.

lemme see yo pass, mothafucka

It seem like I wasn't precise enough. I don't care whether it's blacks or whites - there are great black musicians. But if it involves talking, bits, and doing this "yo yo" gesticulation like a mentally disabled person, then it's shit. Some of you may be too young to remember that this is what killed MTV before it went full retard.

Anyone knows if Cyberpunk will have realistic ballistics ie - I with a anti materiel rifle can kill enemies behind armored walls? And snipe enemies from one side of night city to another?

I don't know about "armored" walls, but there was a scene in one of the early gameplay videos that showed the player being able to shoot through walls to hit enemies and vice versa.

I watched the 48 minutes gameplay. Tbh the gunplay looks great and the weapons looks unique enough. It have alot of mobility like sliding in slomo (remind me of vanquish) also homing bullets, armor piercing shotguns, etc.

Definitely still hyped for it.
Now watch the 2019 E3 trailer, to keep your hype in check.
