Banger OT my man Agent_4Seven !

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Getting this day 1.

Hopefully will be able to play as well, in middle of something.

 

[Luipadre]

Nice OT! I cant wait. Now people with early copies can post impressions here

There will be a day 1 update next week

 

[TintoConCasera]

Day 1, already preordered a key lmao.

Loved the first game, very comfy and immersive RPG. Hopefully this one's just as good if not even better.

 

[stevish]

Gold edition bought, can't bloody wait!

 

[Gen.Grievous]

Looking forward to many swordfights with Hans. If you know what I mean.

 

[Gubaldo]

Deadly OT

 

[shubik]

Great OT! I'm getting it day one. Suck sthat I'm starting a new job on Monday...

 

[Gonzito]

My Sword is ready and yeah I mean that sword

 

[TintoConCasera]

Damn, the crime system is cool. No more paying a few coins or being in a cell for a few days:

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Nice OT! Haven't been this hyped for a game in while.

European developers delivering the goods

 

[Gorgon]

The waiting begins. Need something good after the excellent BG3.

Took this upcoming week off to play it.
So of course since this morning I am sick with constantly welled up eyes that prevent me from being able to play anything. Of course.

Seems like they've been able to squeeze a lot more of juice from the CryEngine when compared to the first game.

Sending you all my energy so you are fully healed by Tuesday.

Can someone make the topic? I'm on the road and can't.

 

[Saber]

Not sure I get the meaning of the OT title, but ok. Its was a pretty nice work.

Gonna wait for reviews and gameplays to see if its really as good as its promoving. Still looking foward though.

Yeah they clearly fixed the eternal multithreading problems on CPU side with cryengine. Or is it lumberyard they switched to now, either way, that one didn’t get support either so this is their hard work.

Cryengine looks amazing imo. It had its own tender style that I quite miss. KCD2 will likely have SVOGI for lighting. KCD1 already looks good honestly after a few tweaks on shadow resolution and distance.

Played KCD1 last year on my PC and thought it looked great, but also kinda funny that I had to add a few launch parameters on Steam to make it work properly.

KCD2 seems like overall a much more polished product. The fact that they sent the review copies so early smells like confidence.

 

[mèx]

Unfortunately I can't slot in this one with all the other games I have to play (even if I pre-ordered it a few months ago).

Have fun everyone!

Oh? I'm playing it right now and everything works well

Yea KCD2 seems more polished for sure. They cooked. Still amazing that KCD 1 was their first project with a kickstarter.

 

[Peroroncino]

Can Henry swing his sword inside another dude's scabbard?

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Not sure I get the meaning of the OT title

I probably put too much meaning behind it

Deadly OT

 

[clarky]

Nice work and top OT Agent_4Seven .

Looking forward to this.

 

[yogaflame]

Does the game have multiple endings or branching story?

 

[Gonzito]

Yes

 

[Luipadre]

It has multiple endings i think devs said that on livestream. As for branching story... i know that most quest can play out differently depends on how you approach it

 

[amigastar]

The game is not on my radar exactly but when it's exceptionally good i will probably get it.

 

[StereoVsn]

Pre-Ordered it to show support for the game (at a discount ), but probably won’t get to the game for couple of weeks.

Still, here is hoping for nice numbers on Steam!

 

[Denton]

So, any Steam CCU peak bets?

Mine is 300-350K.

For reference, I estimate Avowed to get around 50K.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Dunno about CCU but my prediction is that I'll put at least 80 hours into it between release and the next Monday.

No way Avoid gets 50k.

 

[amigastar]

Avowed won't get 50k probably, more like 2-3k

I don't know, did grifters stop trying to cancel the game or they're back in?

That is nice. I love multiple endings rpg. This will now be in my purchase list for 2025. By the way I havent played KCD1 yet. Was it good?

 

[Luipadre]

It was, but rough around the edges. Second games should fix that

 

[Denton]

Even Deadfire got over 20K, this has lot more mainstream appeal and even if the art director idiocy and DEI stupidity hurt it, I do not think it will be quite that low.

I don't know, did grifters stop trying to cancel the game or they're back in?

dunno, I don't watch that stuff. Some people are still salty on twitter and youtube, doubt it is any significant number.

Ok, fair enough, didn't know that Deadfire got 20k.

 

[Luipadre]

Do we know if there is HDR support on console or not?

 

[scydrex]

Pre-ordered the gold edition to show support. Playing the first one on my Pro and having a blast. Sad it's 1080p 30fps but still loving it.

 

[vpance]

That inventory screen looking slick

 

[PectacularOz]

Ok, fair enough, didn't know that Deadfire got 20k.

To be fair - Deadfire is way under rated. Sawyer knows how to make an RPG (and is not involved w/Avowed)

Edit: IOT on topic - Picked up KCD for like $4 and played for the first time few months ago. Even on PS5 i was hooked, now I have the gold edition of KCD2 preordered

 

[StereoVsn]

If you are on PC, mods help a lot. I used the save, lock pick and a few others when I played it. Been a while though.

 

[Zarak]

I want to love this series so much. But I played the 1st for 15 hours and I just can't wrap my head around the combat. I've tried and given up 3 times on playing it. I was really hoping they would drastically change it for the sequel but I see it's just more refined.

In the first you needed to train to get good at it, I expect it to be a touch easier in this but we will see

 

[M.W.]

Diving in day one on Geforce Now. Having access to dat 4080 means jacking it to ultra settings. Can't wait.

Its important to note that you're SUPPOSED to struggle with combat - because you're an untrained blacksmith apprentice.
As you improve with the odd mechanics, so too does Henry.

 

[BigBeauford]

Even Spiderman 2 got over 20K. If that game can, I have faith for Avowed.

 

[Kirkio]

I sense a few extra work from home days coming on next week, can't wait!
