The Witcher 4 is looking to Cyberpunk 2077 in one specific way

The Witcher 4 is set to continue a CD Projekt Red trend from Cyberpunk 2077, and it's all about how we interact with the studio's stories.

“Our trademark is the freedom given to the player, but always with limits,” Kalemba tells Lega Nerd

Aye, they try to hype the idea of a main quest line as something that defines their design.

😅

Thinking back I’m not sure I want Witcher 4 to feel more like CP2077, tbh. Less, if anything.

I played CP2077 only recently after 2.01 patch and it’s kind of ok as an ubisoft sandbox. There’s something like 40 hours of well made content that’s on rails and a lot of really generic filler missions. I’m kind of disappointed and not because I expect voiced exposition and writing from such filler, but I did expect gameplay that was tuned to be challenging and it’s not. Seriously, Watch Dogs 2 (which is actually ubisoft) had better designed and balanced side missions. Here it’s just have these 5 dudes standing on a corner, you can kill them by hacking their shit without them ever seeing you or getting a chance to react. It’s a nice world that’s an average game garnished with a lot of Potemkin content.

Potemkin content - what a great term and so apt for CP2077
