Support NeoGAF

[Braag]

We need that mod from KCD1 which shows which side quests are time sensitive, as majority are not, but a handful are and the game doesn't say which ones. Some are obvious and other less so.
Just got a pretty bad end to a side quest in Kuttenberg map, cause it took me too long to get to it.

 

[Outlier]

Just got to Kutenberg Region.

The game has been great, BUT this game really is only great by the "sum of its parts" and not by any individual thing it does.

Without elaborating, I'll just say the game has improved on many of KCD1s issues, but I REALLY hope they improve the games cinematic presentation, if there is a 3rd game.

Otherwise, I've been hooked!

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Do you get the buff?

Havent updated yet....turns out I can start the game even offline.

No, that's the point, nothing happens at all other than me losing money lol

Warhorse has said that they are releasing official modding support in the future.

I'm thinking we're going to see all the top mods offered from KCD1 and much more with this game.

Very much looking forward to another playthrough in a year's time when all the DLC is out as well as more mods.

I have no problem with you holding that opinion of course. But I find it a bit odd since I could probably go on and on in detail about things that clearly makes this game stand out in it's genre these days.

A few headlines:
The RPG framework
The writing
The rich story
The sandbox
The setting
The characters
The meaningful choices
The open world
The progression and character development
The no level scaling
The dynamic world
The amount of good voice acting
The economy system
The graphics
The lack of magic
The skill system
The optimization
The attention to detail
The boobs

Even if you don't agree with all of these, which is fine, I can't see how it's even possible to say that no individual parts of this game is great.

That's what I mean.
All of those things make the game great, when they're working together, as a whole.
However, in my opinion, the vast majority of that list aren't "great", by themselves.

I'm saying that some of the features in the game are notably improved, while others are simply expanded upon, but some things like the cinematics quality (especially the pixelated FMVs), scene directing (important introductions just... happen with no build up), and robotic dialog animated conversation that are only minorly improved, in comparison to KCD1.

I'm just a bit underwhelmed by some things, even though clear improvements have been made, in other areas.

Of course, I understand this isn't a big budget game, so my expectations should be measured.

wtf

 

[Flabagast]

Did they explain in the first one why Ikaris lost his powers? I did miss that. I been playing this Richard Madden: The Game hoping to play as Ikaris but is more like a very realistic human medieval era excellent game.

Jokes aside (but he looks like Richard Madden for sure) this game looks, feels and plays fantastic. Very immersive with all the do it yourself gameplay. This guys should make the next Skyrim

I’ll never understand gamers that are saying that developers doing something very well and unique on their own creations should work on others people’s IPs. It happens very often and only serve to show a profond and worrying lack of imagination imho, as well as intelligence.

 

[Auto_aim1]

This game needs a new game plus because some of these trophies are crazy.

 

[Balducci30]

This is one of the best open world games to ever come out. It’s basically what I would expect an Oblivion era Bethesda to make today. Blows my mind it looks better, plays better, has more reactivity than Starfield - and barely any loading screens, for a fraction of the budget. Crazy.

I just got to kuttenberg too and it’s one of the most realistic cities I’ve ever seen in a video game.

 

[Forsete]

The guy who green lighted "Storm" should be shot.

 

[Balducci30]

Is this the greatest game ever? At least this gen? I’m apathetic and can’t be bothered otherwise.

Elden ring and this imo

 

[Balducci30]

How do I toggle helmets during dialogue scenes. Henry looks so dumb.

I know i can open/close the visor by pressing down on the dpad but it doesnt work during dialogue scenes or cutscenes.

Click up on d pad

I thought exactly the same haha!

My clothes are falling apart, I've been caught twice eating someone else's soup cause most of my food got spoiled (had to pay the fine), and finally I got killed by a friggin wolf/dog losing 1hr of gameplay. This one was the cherry on the top. Medieval life sucks!

I am liking the game, acting is great, dialogues too, you can see they put so much care into it but damn, I played 2 hrs and I achieved nothing. 40 minutes were only spent in collecting belladonna, which is a challenge inside the challenge, since this fucking plant is tiny and extremely hard to spot.

 

[Outlier]

wtf

We speak different languages. Let's just leave it at that.

 

[clarky]

Got absolutely steaming last night with the Cumans.

Actually laughed out loud a few times, especially when Henry was trying to translate for one of them with the hooker he fancied and the dog bit later on.

Great stuff. Killer hangover today though.

 

[Myuni]

27h, 1 quest done.
I have uncovered the first map by now and just discovered a big patch of Belladonna (~16pcs) near Troskowitz, yes!
A single Belladonna found and marked some days ago has already regrown, so no shortage of this Kraut anymore.
Bought a couple of books to study at night and happily brewed Savior Schnapps all day.
At this point, I don't even mind the shitty close-up vegetation-models anymore.
I enjoy the beautiful vistas from afar and let it be

You can litterally just fuck around in this game and weird shit happens. Love it.

Don't kill them, you'll see them in the 2nd region.

No way would i kill my drinking buddies, looking forward to catching up with them again. Those fuckers can drink.

Literally took days for my Henry to sober up after that quest.

What!? I don't think I saw them again!

Can you spoiler tag the interaction?

 

[Viruz]

I'm looking for my dog and I don't plan to go to the wedding for now. The wolves at the beginning of the game...
So I follow the green mark and I hear a man crying on a tree attacked by wolves, sure I help you man. After many attempts no way I'm killing these three wolves so I leave him there like a bitch.
I reach a small village where someone tells me to go find a shepperd that maybe has some info about the dog. The shepperd gives me a carrot and a sheep then asks me to kill two wolves and a pitbull lol. Maybe tomorrow.
This will be a very very long game for me but I'm patient
