Kingdom Come: Deliverance II - Henry's coming to see us on February 4th

[cvv]

Is this the part where we pretend this was in any way surprising and act way more mad about it than we actually are?

As long as they eventually remove it, I'm fine with it. It's when they never remove it that it's a problem.
In Vavra I trust.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

Disappointing, but it would be unfair to blame Warhorse for it, publishers didn't ask them a god damn thing. CDPR is their own publisher so they can do as they please.

 

[DKunit]

Yeah, Vavra is too much of a stubborn dick to not remove it as soon as he is able.

 

[cvv]

Yeah, Vavra is too much of a stubborn dick to not remove it as soon as he is able.

Vavra is just an employee now, I assume these kind of decisions are made on the owner level.

But I'm sure he'll be doing interviews and fan meets soon and someone's bound to ask him about this. I'll be interested in what he has to say.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

i was anticipating this. not anymore.

 

[PlayerEmers]

I will not buy till they decide to remove it.

Spoiler

and probably will only play the game when denuvo is officially removed because there is no good denuvo crackers anymore (EMPRESS is too schizophrenic and unreliable)

 

[Gargaune]

Hello? Oh hey, Henry, what's up? You're calling to check if you can still come see me February 11th? Ah, man, this is really embarrassing but I just remembered I'm gonna be outta town that day... Yeah, real sorry, totally my bad. Sure we can reschedule... Oh, when? Uhmm, you know, let me get back to you on that. Cool, you have a good one too, buddy!

 

[Lord_Potato]

Oh well, at least this time we'll not be unpaid beta-testers.

 

[Beowulf]

Huh. Well, at least I might finally find some time to replay the first game, with the DLC's and all the patches this time.

[Supermedo]

What did you expect, Warhorse isn't an indie dev anymore, and giant corporaishuns gonna giant corporaishun.

Plus Denuvo isn't being cracked anymore, ofc your Embracers and EAs and Ubisofts are gonna abuse that.

The good thing is Denuvo now run on subscription model, so I think it is going to be removed, if Japanese companies known for their stringent DRM policies like Capcom and Square Enix started removing Denuvo from their old games then I'm sure KCD2 gonna be the same.

 

[DKunit]

Halberds and Bears confirmed.

Yea I think it's a standard now - you pay for Denuvo for a few months, a year maybe, then get rid of it.

Lies of P scrapped it within the first 6 months AFAIk.

 

[DKunit]

Denuvo used to be a one-time fee to use forever, so, oddly enough, them getting greedy and switching to a subscription model works in our favor.

 

[Alienman]

Halberds and Bears confirmed.

Oh no.

 

[Tyranicon]

Halberds and Bears confirmed.

Oh no.

It's a realistic historical setting though. If you try to romance a bear, you get a game over screen.

I mean, it's logical in terms of revenue since most of the sales happens during the first months of release.

 

[DKunit]

Halberds and Bears confirmed.

Oh no.

False alarms, guys. I misread the tiny print. It was Boars, not bears. We'll just have to settle with normal kind of debauchery with the bathhouse wenches.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Bears wouldn't be found so close to farmland, and neither would wolves for the most part, but it would be interesting to have a few more dangerous critters roaming about the wildlife.

Of course, if the game were to be realistic, even in a full suite of armor getting charged by a bear would likely result in certain death so maybe not a good idea. Wolves by contrast could work.

How would a bear pose a threat of certain death in a full harness of 15th century plate? I get that blunt force is an issue and I imagine a bloke would come out worse for wear, but the odds of getting rent or bit to bleed out are dramatically reduced. Even today, people survive maulings if the bear gets bored before it punctures something vital.

What?

What?

Wild animals are generally shy and rarely venture where humans are. I live next to a national park that has quite a few bears in it, but they almost never venture where people are. Europe isn't like 'Murrica where Grizzly bears show up at your doorstep because you decided to build your house right in the woods.

I guess it depends on the bear, but even if you posit the player can survive a bear attack if they try to make the encounters at all realistic it would have to be too much of an ordeal to make bears regular critters you can meet or go after. Best way would probably to go all the way with the historical accuracy, by alllowing the player to trap the bears or use specialized weapons like the bear spear.
