It was funny, but my thoughts were exactly this: "Oh, I remember that from the Wild Hunt."
(and the sermon afterwards was pretty much the doppler play scene)

It's fine, but not quite the godsend to gaming it's presented as.
Regarding the sermon, I really appreciated the good taste of adding a quest which tests the player's listening comprehension. Chris Avellone said in an interview I read recently before playing the game, that he likes using this approach in quest design.

The priest quest or the game?

For me KCD absolutely is the godsend of gaming in one respect - it doesn't have any fucking skellingtons, boglins and evil wizards trying to take over the world. Jesus christ I couldn't handle any more of this fucking Disney channel BS.

Oh and that priest quest absolutely felt like it was lifted straight from TW3 but it was great nonetheless.

The quest. It was funny, but there are other parts of the game (and the game as more than a sum of its parts) that I appreciate far more.

I enjoyed the meta-level of the whole thing. I mean, Henry basically spread Hussitism to this village with a successful sermon and we all know about the Hussite Wars from real life, of course. <insert wank emoji here>

The game wouldn't even be short if you took out the filler in the main quests, it'd still be a good 30-40 hours.
i think that is open world done right for a single player: it’s all about the main/secondary story with some filler.

the game is actually linear you have to follow the main quest, but the open map allow many different approach with an only final result.

i still want a DLC/ alternative mode, where you can do what you want from the start and ignore the main quest.

It's true tho, balancement seems broken, expecially if you abuse training with Cpt. Bernard.

It wouldn't be that much of a problem with a better AI that flanks and attacks, in group, the player.

Don't you idiots know? Medieval combat was about looking your enemy in the eye and waiting for them to attack so you could block them in slow motion to do a master strike.

Game has been crashing a lot for me lately, I hope 1.3 is going to fix some of these issues.

Oddly enough the game has only crashed around 3 times and has had only 1 bug that prevented me from progressing. Performance is still abysmal though.

"If only stats had no effect on combat or there was level scaling, that'd make it a much more hardcore RPG."
:roll:

High level characters have an easier time with combat. And?

It doesn't really change the fact that combat is shit against high level enemies and it just ends up with master strikes against master strikes with some clinches since they are easy to win.

They really have to thank divine providence that this game's development cycle was completed during a release drought because there's no way this buggy tech demo would have sold as much had it came out alongside another major title.

Good concepts, decent execution but terrible polish.

So when I posted this retarded podcast




I may be wrong but I could swear they had 2.1 million subs then. Look at their subs count now. The backlash must've been something fierce since the metrosexual retard running the channel posted this:

Hello everyone! This is Lawrence - I produce the podcast and wanted to provide a bit of commentary on this week's episode. I can totally understand why some of the beliefs expressed in this episode would bother or annoy you.
...
If this isn't the kind of content you want to see, or the kind of commentary you want from us, I totally get it. As a producer, I have to balance making universally liked, fun content (poop stories) with content people will click on (RACISM)
...
TL;DR Please don't stop listening to this podcast because of this week. It won't all be like this!

Damage control failed I guess. Losing 1 million subs in a few days must be a new record in something. Lol.

I really doubt that they could lose 1 million subscribers from a video that has 160k views and roughly 40/60 like/dislike ratio..
