Jake was invisible in my playthrough lol. I only knew where to find him thanks to a walkthrough. Jank aside, I've not encountered too many quest related bugs.

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
The game was a buggy mess for 2 years. I feel bad for whoever played it in 2018.
I played it year after release and it was fine, already patch 1.9.2 was out by then.
Game came out Feb 2018, all major problems were solved summer 2018.

If you think a minor texture clipping once an hour is a "buggy mess" then yes, it was a buggy mess.

You can read the patch notes yourself my man. IDGAF I bought KCD on a sale. I am happy for everyone funding this industry it ain't going to be me though.

Related: does early access even mean anything? So many games in EA for years and they still release unstable.

I played it 2 or 3 months after the release and it was fine, so I am not sure what you're talking about when you're talking about "2 years". The biggest issues were resolved within the first month or so. At least for the PC version, no idea how it was elsewhere.

Minor issues remained for a while, some still remain. Like in all big, complex, open-world RPGs.

Some people will always prefer to dine on turds in a soulless corporate High Street Michelin restaurant instead of divine meal in a slightly scuffed family-owned joint full of heart and passion.

Soulless shallow games for soulless shallow people.

Last open world game that I've played that was good was Fallout 2.

KCD is nothing special. A 7/10 game.

1. become a monk so you can blend in to find someone
2. familiarize yourself to monastery life, socialize, do few quests and so on
3. go to sleep
4. wake up outside monastery still drunk from last night (no idea how Henry managed to get drunk with empty inventory)
5. get back your earthly possessions and go murder your target

guess Henry denied monk's way of life

This is the last genre standing in the entire galaxy of video games in which a game set in the zombie post-apocalypse or in anything World War II would be seen as a radical move, like: "How did they come up with all of this?! THIS IS NUTS!" Gotta wonder how people never get sick of elven boobies, dwarves and Pip-Boys, whilst we're at it.

So KCD qualifies as being quite special by the pick in scenario already. ;)

I care about finished product, not the idea of it. But yes, the setting (and lack of woke shit) makes it 7 instead of 6

Rolled credits. Overall, I had a wonderful time. The game is gorgeous, the music is great, fantastic characters etc. Some buggy quests, janky collision issues, and one frustrating main quest (monastery) that felt very buggy. I'm very excited to see what KCD2 brings to the table.

This game perfectly nails the bliss of being in nature. Riding into the wilderness among the animals is just perfection.

I do wish they would rethink the progression system. I'm a much bigger fan of allocating points and creating a specialized Henry.

Some favorite tunes:



Bugs encountered:
-the game would bug out into an infinite load when near the house by the monastery. the game wouldn't let me "return" a quest item and an NPC gives you shit for it. I had to work around him, alternatively the internet says you could also just murder him
-there was one quest trigger with Hans Capon DLC where it would ALSO do an infinite load. The fix for this was to set your frame rate to 10fps, then reset it.
-there were other minor buggy quests where NPCs would acknowledge world state changes, but no biggie
-Not a bug, but vague quest journal: Pestilence - it wasn't clear that that quest doesn't progress by itself, you need to check in with a specific NPC to move the quest to completion
I think I fucked up spending $ willy nilly so I won't be engaging with From Ashes DLC as I'm fucking poor + I never really used the dog, I kinda regret that and wonder if he makes hunting game a lot easier than just soloing it.

Favorite Quests: Johanka's trial + Heretics + anything to do with Hans
Least favorite quests: Monastery + the finale felt like it dragged, and it leaves you with blue balls b/c you just engage in the mob combat which is pretty weak

Same.

Well, I did like the monastery quest - at least the idea - but the implementation felt...not buggy but kindda rickety, like buckling under it's own weight and ambition. That said, standing at 5 AM in the church, singing chorals and watching the sun slowly rise behind the stained-glass windows is one of those moments, you know....

KCD excels at making the player immerse himself in those moments.
