The amusing part is that the game looks like dogshit. I mean technically speaking. Same with Starfield, abysmal perfomance, shit graphics.

BTW, it also doesn't look like Pillars either. All those neon colors i don't think even Failguard has that shit.
Not sure why they went with "Slightly better than Skyrim" for mechanics lmao. Skyrim's mechanics were terrible even for it's time, and Kingdom Come was already released before they wrote the first line of code on this shit. But then again, Kingdom Come was made by intelligent, white men. Maybe the DEI niggers and troons aren't capable of anything better?

Kingdom Come combat is awful, as is most gameplay in video games that fail to realize they are video games. Do not suffer simulationist faggotry to thrive

This take is so shit, I had to rate your next post as well.

Simulationism is good! If you hate it, there are a billion board games that focus on heavy abstraction. Computer games are the only place that has enough computional resources to handle simulationist design.

90% of the time, simulationist designers craft shit mechanics or implementations in attempt to mirror reality, ending up actively harming the attempt at a convincing illusion rather than maintaing it.

90% of the time, I am more convinced by an abstract system that demands I interact with in some way that manifests the thing it is representing than some spastic attempt at implementing IRL physics or an NPC schedule.

Do not suffer simulationist faggotry to thrive.

I submit to you x-com vs firaxcom as one of the 10%. Please provide 9 examples of similar quality where the abstraction approach is superior. If you need to me to clarify why x-com is superior to firaxcom, and why it is because it has a simulationist approach, I can do this, but I think both of us already know that, so we can dispense with the formality.

Kingdom Come's combat issues don't come from it being simulationist. If anything, it's the opposite. The forced lock-on system that locks the camera and restricts your movement, the heavy-handed slow-mo effect potentially every few seconds, these are very "gamey" mechanics.

More like someone got filtered

Difficulty is awesome, especially because it is the best indicator of failure. When mastering a difficult system does not feel rewarding
You're right for at least three wrong reasons.

KCD1 combat isn't stellar

1. but not because it's "simulationist"
2. it's not really difficult difficult, not in the same way as FromSoft games are, coz it's primarily testing your ability to learn, pay attention and think without putting too much strain on your mechanical skills - reactions, hand-eye coordination etc.
3. however flawed it is, it absolutely IS rewarding to master; it's clear you haven't gotten too far

It's clearly a case of someone being filtered - unwilling to pay attention, was punished, got buttmad, proceeded to justify his failure by claiming simulashunism something something. Ok bruh.

"My favorite game doesn't suck, you just got filtered!1!!1"

Portrait of fanboy cope.
KCD is not my favorite game, but it's certainly in my top 10 RPGs.

I don't do much fanboying for it, it would take me away from fanboying for the Witcher.

But if "Kingdom Comes: Deliverance sucks" is the hill you wish to die on, be my guest :-D

Another retard who doesn't understand that his preference isn't some universal, sacred law.

"Simulations sucks lol"

Yeah well that's like, your opinion man.

Exactly! This is the part I despise the most, this horrendous forced movement and stupid slow motion effect. It basically ruined the combat for me.

I'm not the one who brought up KCD in this thread.
Me neither, altho I do find it funny Avowed is so boring people rather talk about other games in its own thread.

Also you still haven't explained why you haven't said anything in the KCD thread after you allegedly played and hated the game so much.

Absolute connaisseur's of the RPG's in this thread. You just got to love these tryhard's who think they have better taste than you because you don't suck up to them and agree with the mainstream narrative. It's always the same story.

Whilst playing KCD you'll notice the way Henry grips his weapon, especially when you begin an attack, or even more so when you're doing a combo, and you can just tell that shit came straight from HEMA motion capture.
Master strikes are a terrible idea, and I don't think there's a way to do 1 v multiple opponent melee fights well, but KCD has the most realistic melee combat I've ever seen.

Every video game is a simulation. I think you have a problem with realism (but like Gaben you'd be just as wrong).
who think they have better taste than you
I don't think it, I know it.

I've given my opinion in the KCD thread months ago, and then left. There's no use in arguing over a shit game that I don't actually give a damn about.

You, on the other hand, are like those retarded Star Wars fanboys who justifies liking nu-Star Wars by spending all day shitting on the prequels. You ask me? They're all shit. But your prerogative is to dump on other games to justify your own bad taste in games. That's the difference between you and I. I can admit when a game is bad, even if I like it. You can't, while throwing phrases around such as 'you got filtered'. You are deluded.

I can't find ANY post by you in the KCD1 thread and only one post in the sequel thread where you talk about Sawyer.

You sure you haven't dumped your garbage take in the wrong thread?
