It runs so much better than the first KC:D. Good job, Warhorse Studios.
By the by, someone playing the game for an additional 19 hours after giving it a thumbs down on Steam for woke DEI speaks to its quality.
Just waiting for gog… Hold the line…
Guess all the people calling it woke still bought it.
For what it’s worth, Eurogamer itself called the first game bigoted and refused to rate it. It’s really a strange case.
That article reads like that other shitpiece that called Ghost of Tsushima racist for portraying Mongols as evil. Like, bruh. It wasn’t called “the dark ages” for a lack of sunlight.
It’s called the dark ages for a lack of records. Not sure where you’re trying to go with this argument.
It’s a reference to a line in a Stargate episode, uttered by a historian in reference to outdated medieval practices (specifically trepanning). If I have to make a point, it is that historical fiction about a specific time and culture should reflect the values and prejudices of the people and not be condemned for it.
I know literally nothing about this game and I mostly play FPS or racing games. What even is this game and what does the actual gameplay look like? I don’t give a crap about stories as I always skip them. I just want to know what the actual gameplay loop consists of.
Very happy for the success of this game, even if it’s not my style. It seems like a breath of fresh air among soulless cash grabs
I tried the first and just couldn’t get into it. But the game industry needs titles that aren’t full of loot boxes and requiring online connectivity
Did you try any mods that remove some of the limiter features? For example I played with encumbrance set to zero and all vendors with gold to sell you. Both were huge QoL improvements.
Definitely deserved. I’ve played it for 10+ hours so far and it’s such an improvement on the already excellent first game. It even runs much better on the same hardware.
It even runs much better on the same hardware.
That’s great news, I was worried about performance.
That actually sounds wrong. Do they use the same level of graphics or was the first game optimized THAT badly?
Pretty sure the first game was just not optimized very well. I can run KCD2 at a very stable 60+ FPS on my RTX 3060 on high/ultra settings. The first one had about 20 FPS less in comparable environments. Not too surprising, considering that it was the dev team’s first CryEngine project. It’s notoriously hard to work with.
We know someone working at Warhorse and he arranged us to get a tour at the company after hours by the HR person which was great. I recall one of the devs saying “You know why they call it the CryEngine right? It’s cuz you cry everytime you have to use it”
Wow, lucky you! That’s pretty funny.
That badly. Updates made it better, though.
