The only thing I dislike about them is when they tend to be exaggerated, like cutting a person in half, or if they'll become too common. Otherwise I love them. The more moderate amputation is very in line with Geralt and the books, and TW3 does them well because they're quick and simple. Geralt doesn't make a spectacle of it. In TW2, for example, besides the finishers taking place as a cutscene and tearing you out of the moment only to return to it in an awkward manner, some of them were really over-the-top. Such as Geralt flipping someone in the air. That's him making a spectacle of it. I haven't seen this sort of Geralt so far in TW3. Like in the middle GIF in the OP - two cuts, that's it. Or like in the end of the new footage, where he just slams his sword into someone and embraces him, then slips back. These are the finishers I like. They have impact and they're not a show of acrobatics.
Agent Bleu I don't understand what you mean by slow-mo being something that Geralt would engage in. It's a developer's addition to make it cinematic, I'm not sure what it has to do with the character. Also, I'm not sure where you get this,
He's kinda brutal at times.

Geralt is not a sadist, but it's mentioned plenty that he's very emotional in battle and that more than once he enters almost a bloodlust-like frenzy. Decapitations aren't something unknown to him. If they happen in the spur of the moment during battle and not with Geralt asking someone to hold still while he tries to chop off his head in one stroke, I don't see what's out of character here.Geralt doesn't kill for fun and would take no pleasure watching as the blade chops off, severs, decapitates, and a jacuzzi of blood then gushes through. Now, we're roleplaying as Geralt. How exactly are these slo mo finishers in-character again?
