Vendetta: Curse of Raven's Cry - open world pirate action-RPG from Two Worlds developer

[CreamyBlood]

Gameplay? I watched Brute stream his playthrough. Lots of pop ups saying press this, press that. I liked it when he hooked the guy from behind, great takedown. It also has lots of talking and button mashing with flailing swords. I assume it was button mashing, could have been keyboard mashing, hard to tell these days. He quit after around fifteen minutes. If brute thinks it sucks (and he likes almost everything, or plays everything, not sure which) then it probably sucks.

If he likes everything he's a popamoler which means if he dislikes a game chances are getting higher I might like it.

So far I've seen from the vid that the game seems a bit rough on the edges with graphical glitches and lack of polishing. And it's arcade style. And it seems to be always midnight?.
Despite that there's a skill screen, you get xp, can loot and ship combat seems to have wind directions and different ammo types. It seems you can have different ship models as well. The dialogues seem ok, too.
So far the game seems decent for me if you're into pirates. But it's really hard to say if there's nobody who actually played the game giving some insights about gameplay, combat and skills and how much freedom you have (trading, pillaging, boarding, free exploration / free areas to travel etc.).

 

[Zewp]

Lol. Delayed countless times and still unpolished shit.

Maybe I'll pirate it anyway just to see for myself.

 

[Hobo Elf]

I'm genuinely shocked that people are surprised that the game turned out to be shit.

 

[Garryydde]

All I want from a pirate game is Assassin's Creed IV without all the Ass Creed shit and not made by Ubisoft. Is that too hard?

 

[Darkzone]

If they invest another year in this game, perhaps then it will be playable. I mean it doesn't look totally broken, just unfinished.

I think this was fucking hilarious:
- Can you pass time by sleeping in inns?
- no. the game is not time factor based. But you can f**k in the brothel if you have to much free time.

 

[Hobo Elf]

The game has been in "development" for 6 years. It was never going to be good.

 

[Morkar Left]

Can somebody please explain to me why they think the game isn't good? With having played the game and actual arguments and such...

 

[SarcasticUndertones]

With having played the game and actual arguments and such...

You expect logic and relevance? I fear you have taken a wrong turn.

 

[Perkel]

yeah i also want to hear why it is bad.

because teh muh graphics is banal shit considering it is used on codex

got risen 2 after some good opinions about r1 and got rekt.

 

[toro]

got risen 2 after some good opinions about r1 and got rekt.

That's the problem. Not Codex's opinions.

PS. Or are you shitposting on purpose?

 

[Raghar]

This makes Risen 2 look like a masterpiece.

Risen 2 was masterpiece, you badmouthed it, and then they made Risen 3. See, it's all fault of trolls that can't say nice things about games.

Risen 3 was an improvement in every way. It was still shit though.

Yes but just around 1 year by this studio. Perhaps another year would be sufficient. Currently the bugs are killing it. And opinions of papamoles that the naval battles are complicated and difficult, is not a sign of bad game, but the sign that this people are not using their brain in the right manner.

havent played it yet, will give a try soon (tm)

 

[Snorkack]

Really, guys? I mean, this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqD_PKTSPHU

pretty much shows that the game is really, really bad.
Ok, much of the stuff could be improved with heavy amount of bugfixing and polishing. But that would certainly require more time than 4 days. A lot more time.
Edit:

Spoiler

Holy fuck, is this your native resolution? New iMac?

 

[Easily Amused]

Really, guys? I mean, this video

I am still not convinced. Dude plays it like a Saints Row game. If you play Gothic 2 this way you can show it to be complete shit too.

 

[Zewp]

The dialog and voice acting alone in that video is enough to make my dick shrivel.

"Hold the door, there's more of them coming."
/unnatural pause
"gaddd it"

 

[Raghar]

You would be also have some delay after heavily thinking: "does he really wants me to do all this work while he's holding the door?"
This is normally request that's called situation is completely fucked up.






Also can you post your own thought instead of posting video, or at least say proper time in the video where is the problem?

 

[pippin]

What were you guys expecting? It's Topware. Two World is probably the best they can do, and it shouldn't be surprising if this game ends up being shovelware.

Even if you take that into account and assume that combat and controls are fine (which I doubt) - that still doesn't explain the horrible dialogue and voiceovers, the dumb-as-shit AI, the abyssmal UI. If that doesn't bother you, then there seems to be nothing wrong with the game, indeed. You're easily amused after all, I guess.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Eh, Two worlds 2 modded is kinda good, may liberate this from a bundle someday.

 

[SarcasticUndertones]

That voice acting is appalling, it's so boring, stilted and uninspired, and you can tell straight away there's been no rehearsal, that they're reading it for the first time.
