He's a Gary Stu
He's a Gary Stu
He isn't, but Ciri is a mary sue
He fucks up constantly and things often don't go his way
This.
Yeah, I quit playing 3 because 90% of the game is the game telling you how big your dick is.
he is in the same level of a multiverse Marvel superhero. He has slayed pussy from different dimensions. There are little Geralts in Soul Calibur, Monster Hunter and in Smash Bros
Gary Stu would imply he can beat anything and anyone. He gets his shit pushed in by the Unseen Elder.
Maybe your version. My version of Ciri was always getting beat up and almost raped.
Gary Stu
>Prefers rhyming to alliteration
It's Marty Stu you stupid gaylord
I bet you think Aerith looks and sounds better than Aeris when it doesn't
This is the only man who can do no wrong
>geralt
>Perfect in anyway
One of the core elements of the mary sue/gary stu is that everyone loves them, except jealous people who don't because they are jealous. Geralt has many people who don't like him.
Also he got killed by a peasant with a pitchfork
Anyone who uses Marty Stu should be killed. I'm not joking.
It's Gary Stu, and it will always be Gary Stu.
But then didn't.
Then he gets away with fucking with the devil.
Game Geralt is a Gary Stu.
Every game protag is a gary stu/mary sue
No shit, it’s part 3 of a trilogy. The game would be shit if he wasn’t.
no, he's a gary TSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
then he gets killed by the unseen elder
and discriminated against by every guard
geralt isnt a gary tsu
That's a interesting way to say "I'm a lazy piece of shit who never read a book in my life, I just played Witcher 3 so I have the right to give my opinion on this topic"
The books have nothing to do with the game.
are both vampire hunter d movies good or should i just watch bloodlust?
meh, it's really old
the novel is better
Thanks for confirming my point
There's plenty of opportunity for him to fuck up and fail. The fact that you have decisions in his story, and that you can make the right choices, foster the correct relationships, build the correct skills, supply the correct combat preparation, means that he is capable of being a gary stu. Your logic can be applied to any protagonist.

There's plenty of options to not get involved, to barely scrape by, to be hated by influential characters. Just because you, the controller of the rpg, make the ideal decisions doesn't mean the unideal suddenly become nonexistent.
He's also a massive shitter in the books.
My Geralt killed himself after ciri died. That's not a Gary stu
He really isn't though, like sorry-wise he's following a Canon-sue who everyone in fact DOES love and talks about whenever she's off screen. She's not only the Sue she's also the MacGuffin, Geralt is kind of just tolerated at best, or feared and hated openly. Even Town folk will spit on you in game.
Correct.
Fun thing is that geralt in the book gets fucke up everytime.
Like that time when he got wounded by some nekker and so he decided to pass days superdrugged into a paesant cart until he reached the hut of his real mother (wich is also a witch) and he literally pops a boner in fron of her because he mistaken her for triss or something until he realizes he's that she's his mother, then he just starts sperging because she gave him to vesemir.
Which book was that?
he isnt even the protag of his own game
Sapkowski originally wrote Geralt pretty much like One Punch Man. He's the strongest of all and no one presents a challenge to him, but he's surrounded by retards and doesn't give a fuck about anything. The whole point of the Witcher was to poke fun at the inherent ridiculousness of European folklore and modern politics, it's less cynical and more satirical (unlike 99% of dark fantasy).
When Ciri shows up, Geralt becomes more of a side character. Now she's an actual Mary Sue. When she shows up, everything turns into an anime where a 14-year-old girl dispatches an entire squad of soldiers with ease after a few weeks of training, later turns out to be a goddamn Goddess and fucks off to King Arthur's realm where she hooks up with some knight or something.
Basically, the books take a nosedive in quality once Ciri shows up.
One of the short story ones. Either The Last Wish or Sword of Destiny.
I think the sword of destiny.
he got pretty fucked up by that bruxa, would have died if not for nivellin
I fucking hate the "protect the children" garbo
Geralt is just a MC
Ciri is a mary sue, she get's into someone else's story, can do anything and is loved by everyone.
You didn't read the novels shitter, fuck off
That part where he gets staked and shoots up off the ground at a 90 degree angle while screaming always gave me a laugh.
I read the novels before the first game even came out. The Witcher was always a big thing in Eastern Europe.

None of this actually refutes the points brought up by the person you were responding to.
>>comes back from the dead
Yes and?
>>Tricks a demon
Yes and?
None of these things make him a "gary stu". Geralt is just a highly capable protagonist who fucks all the bitches, literally and figuratively.
Most post-Soviet countries too. Can't say much about the rest tho.
All game protagonists are Mary/Gary, cmon now
>only superior in combat to most because of the mutations inflicted upon him
>constantly fucks up and pays for it
>gets his ass handed back to him when fighting a flabby spellcaster and his leg permanently busted, still limps in the games
>gets everyone joining him in his final quest to save Ciri killed
>actually dies at the end of the books
He's really not
>comes back from the dead
You know it hardly counts as being killed if you don't actually stay dead.
>tricks a Demon
Gaunter O'Dimm isn't just some random demon.
He's heavily implied to be Satan.
His initials are G O D and he's all about mirrors.
The Anti-God if you would.
At least in 3 Geralt comes off as kind of a rube, a simple man that's out of his element. he's constantly being manipulated by smarter, more ambitious people. When he does try to get involved in their machinations they patronizingly dismiss him.He's still a bit of a gary stu but this weakness made it tolerable.
>vilgefortz
>flabby spellcaster
He's the ultimate supreme Chad.
He was a mage, and mages have the big gay
>smarter, more ambitious people
It's a shame that Djikstra's intelligence took a dive into a bottomless pit.
>"I know your neutrality shit is just a bullshit excuse you give."
>"Witchah! Fuck off while I kill your friends! Witchers Neutrality right?"
I was actually about to go on with Dijkstra's plan until it absolutely and necessarily involved killing Broche
>My version of Ciri was always getting beat up and almost raped.
So you stay true to the books I see
Same.
I think the most embarrasing part is how when Geralt refuses to leave he summons like 3 thugs and pulls out an axe.
And tries to fight a Witcher, with his gammy leg, and general being out of shape.
Like I don't even think that would've been enough to kill Roche and pals without Geralt helping out but alright.
The last chapter was pretty rushed.
If there was one thing CD fucked up it was this, they handled Dijkstrain that last mission so fucking poorly and it was perfect up until that point.
a fucking peasant stabs him.
Actually looks like Henry Cavill there.
He literally isn't. Gary's don't have a weakness and Geralt's main weakness is that he's a moralfag in a world of niggers and he's literally too nice for most people and has too many women to choose from.... and he....hmmmm
Okay he's a Gary Stuf.
He's fucking hilarious. Especially in the books. Endless moping and musings over destiny, his lack of humanity, Oh poor, the unloved mutant.
Finally someone else who understands that the whole series is kinda just a shitty parody. Geralt was written as a Stu because the author was writing a silly fantasy parody series. So the game comes out and see this old fart getting loved by everyone and not realizing it's all a joke, well that makes me mad!
They both are, and that's kinda the entire point
Best girl. Best ass.
Based and yenpilled
well he had to survive hell for 6 days to become a gary stu
only 3 in 10 kids survive the gary stu mutation and half of those die during the training of gary stuness
His name's Gerry, you moron.
That doesn't make a character a Gary Stu or a Mary Sue. How fucking stupid are you?
That's a really nice angle and nice ass.
Based
Ciri ruined the books and the third game.
