At least Crysis Remastered improved CPU multithreading performance substantially. It took them a year to make it good but they got there.

Too bad the graphics and physics are far crappier than the original.

So physics too? I saw that the graphics looked shittier and I knew that they removed leaning and quicksaving, which was enough for me to never bother with it. Didn't even know about physics but I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Play through the game without modifications the first time, just like the developers intended. After that, go wild the modifications.

I have just started KCD. What mods do I need? I mostly want to make polearms work, and armored combat focus on hitting unprotected areas, but I'm open to other suggestions.

Would you recommend the Better Combat and Immersion compilation?
Problem is that the polearms aren't balanced in Henry's hands so I concur with SlamDunk, even if their lack (together with the lack of crossbows etc.) is pretty much inexcusable in this setting.
And don't be afraid of playing in hardcore mode - the quest log provides enough instructions so you don't need the map markers. Woodland exploration is a big part of the game and it's even better in this mode.

Don't listen to retards telling you to play it unmodded for the first time, a few simple mods can take KCD from interesting game territory to one of the great games of all time:

Herny got that medieval drip

The cinematics are very well done, it's a shame there are so few of them. The animations and camera work of normal conversation pale in comparison.

The best example of the incredible performance of this game is when you're in the monastery, there's a spot in the chapel where you are far enough from the monastery that I guess it switches off the NPC simulation

Make the Codex Great Again!
I always thought it was something else within the monastery that caused the fps drop, but yes, I had that all the time. Thought it was just my potato computer.

Wow, man. I really wasted time not getting into this game sooner.

This is a tremendously honest game.

I am astonished that this was ever made, let alone so recently.
What a relief amidst the prevailing fantasy nonsense.

I love this game and have played it several times, but I have never actually finished it. What happens is, once the monastery quest comes around I end up getting frustrated and bored and end up killing everyone in the monastery and then, of course, the town guards get involved so they all die and after that I've got an insatiable bloodlust going on so I end up going town to town looting and pillaging. That's the canon ending to Henry's story in my world.

There's an easy hack to get around the buggy, railroaded monastery quest. Once you know the identiy of the fake acolyte, although the game won't allow you to utilize this knowledge in dialogue, you can find a dagger stashed away, sneak up on your target while he is alone, kill him with an automatic stealth dagger takedown, then pick up the required item from his corpse and continue on with the main quest.

Granted, the remainder of the main quest isn't much good, either. :M

I'll keep that in mind next time Zed, but if I really sit and think about it, I don't think I'll have the patience to even go through those steps before losing my temper. Especially since it would be my 4th time going through that despicable place.

You monastery haters are weird as fuck. I enjoyed my time there, did all the sidequests there, it felt like game withing a game and incredibly impressive quest all around, even if not perfect.
