Preview Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Final Previews

[The_Sloth_Sleeps]

Can't say I really care much for pure history in video games, especially RPGs. All it basically means is your only going to be fighting the same (human) enemies over and over again. History is boring.

Australian "History" is boring.

I will agree that it is odd that the guy isn't confirming or denying it though - especially with how definite his former stance on such characters happened to be in the previous game.

If he's sold the company, like it was alleged in the KCD2 thread itself, and does not have a say in the production, I'd assume his contract could also involve a clause forbidding actively harming the company, too.

Warhorse was already sold during the development of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, with the main backer of the game acquiring majority control of the company in exchange for the funds needed to complete KCD. That person apparently had no intention of having long-term ownership of Warhorse and so took advantage of the commercial success of KCD to sell the company to Embracer (THQ Nordic) in February 2019. Regardless of his position over the sale, Vavra had no means of preventing it, just as he would have no means of preventing interference in the development of the sequel by the Swedish parent company.

What do you think of the parent group Embracer. I can't find anything too out there on the website. Some goofy save the planet stuff and do jumping jacks for Ukraine but thats about it.

Were there crossbow-wielding women in battle along with soldiers in full armor in the first game? ...or in real Bohemia?

In battle probably not. But I believe that during sieges it was all hands available to defend the battlements.

There was a DLC where you played as a woman and could shoot people in the ass with a bow.

It's not like black people in major european cities were totally unheard of in the 1400s either, so going by pure history it is *plausible* at the very least. But the people on this forum just want a highly selective view of history that just so happens to fit their specific political biases. It is what it is.

If you don't believe me read a bit about ethiopian history: https://oxfordre.com/africanhistory...0277734.001.0001/acrefore-9780190277734-e-187

If the character in question is an ethiopian merchant or ambassador of some kind it is within PLAUSIBILITY.

Doesn't look too shabby. But how long is it now the Beta 8.1 for the original KC:D was released? 8 years or so? This beta nailed it, the perfect illusion of European woods. I'm still not over the fact that they turned everything down for the final release version which, in result, was a mere shadow of what it could have been in this regard. And after all these years the nature design, especially foliage, lighting system and in general the woods still look better and more realistic in this beta than what I see in the videos for KC:D 2.

The fuck? I wasn't referring to black people. My meaning was that fantasy or sci-fi RPGs have different types of monsters to fight.

There's numerous European ethnicities alone that could be embraced and brought to the forefront in a game like this.

Let's not beat around the bush, if the leak is true then they deliberately went out of their way to push something with 'visible' diversity.

It's the same reason so many gay and bisexual characters end up being obnoxious - they have to tell you what they're into, sexually, not to mention usually being a performative campy stereotype on top of that.

Then, of course, there's the simple fact that it gives easy ammo to make the face of the game's development look really stupid because he's been aggressively pushing back against this sort of peformative diversity for years.

Maybe that's the intended humiliation ritual for him to enter the 'club' though.

IDK why you would list these dodgy review websites but one I do trust is Mack.

I can't stand this guy's opinion every time it comes up. He either praises a game or bashes it based solely on what's the trending discourse or if he got a review code or not, just like every other Youtuber. Yet I keep hearing people say this man is legit for some unspecified reason.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A "LEGIT YOUTUBER". STOP BEING A FAG.

I must say I have never picked up on that. I think complete opposite actually.

If I were to criticize, then he is more about comedy factor than in depth reviews. Its more like he provides a quick overview highlights any red flags.

He consistently promotes shit games. That's reason enough not to watch him. Also his bell gimmick was never funny.

Such as what? His "authenticity" is that he supposedly does not take bribes.

I don't agree with everything he says and like everything he likes. He has liked a few garbage indie games I agree with that *but* if he says a game is woke garbage, then its certainly so. A lot of other reviewers would have never done that.

I will give you that he does tend to focus a lot on some aspects and ignore others. Says it how he sees it. He always passes comment on settings and gunplay, immersion. Imventories, etc I don't recall get covered much.

I still would trust him more about KCD2 than those mainstream links at the beginning of the thread.

The fella made a 10 minute long rant video about how Larian made BG3 with nothing but love and were being oppressed and that we should feel sorry for them.

I wouldn't trust that idiots opinion on literally anything. So how about you try watching some gameplay without commentary and make up your own mind about the game instead of giving ad revenue to losers like Mack? Maybe even play the game yourself and decide? Yeah, Radical way of thinking, I know.
