At this point I can't tell if it's a bot, a satire account, a psyop, a fanboy, a dev, etc, etc.

Don't care. I'm just here to enjoy the popcorn.

Recently replayed KC:D. It was pretty fun and I'm excited for a RPG not made for game journos. Hope it doesn't dissapoint.

 

[MerchantKing]

This new game will be Warhorse's "the witcher 3/BG 3" moment

I hope not. I don't want another game where you play as a simp or a game centered around gay sex with bears.

Its worse: its a xbox fanboy. Console fanboys are one of the most retarded cocksuckers you can find on twitter. Xbots and Snoys have some similarities while tendies are on their own special needs league.
But honestly, I cant decide which one is worse.

I personally tend to find Sony fanboys to be the most insufferable. Because Sony has cultivated the mindset amongst their fans that they are the "Prestige" gaming option, their fanboys tend to come off like pretentious, fart-huffers.

Sorry you had a few typos in there, had to fix it for you.

GTA VI - strong wombens and brownies against a straight white male villain. Gameplay 95% identical to GTA V. It's gonna be the most unsurprising game since FIFA 23.

RDR 2 was great and not woke so I still have some hope.

I'm pretty sure it had left-wing propaganda.

It had feminism but could be dealt with:

This is hilarious, and her speech frankly sounds like Rockstar making fun of and satirizing the stupidity of feminists

Lmao, from new interview with Tobi (done in Czech, Tobi may be german but he speaks almost perfect Czech):

But back to you, Tobi. How is it actually with the game and the czech dubbing? What condition are they in? You are done, or still implementing… How is it?

Tobi: The game is more or less finished now and we're just doing optimizations and bug fixes and so on. And as for the Czech dubbing, it is still in a state before completion, so some minor things are still being done, some corrections and so on, it is not 100% yet. Something is shown to Dan Vávra, he evaluates it, and maybe something is overdubbed, moreover, it all has to be put into the game. Actually, we still have a lot to do before the release, so that everything can be done beautifully and put into the game.

But you're chasing it, for the release, right? That February 11th release still applies, no changes.
Tobi: Sure.

I'm also asking because the Assassin's Creed and Avowed are there now, so no reason to worry?
Tobi: Maybe for them.

I like the way you think. Well, Richard, if you were to compare it to KCD1 in terms of scale, do you actually have any idea how much you're voice acting overall?
Richard: I know that very well. If I can say, it's 39.5 thousand replicas. In the first game, it was close to some 17 thousand replicas or so. But there, too, we proceeded completely differently. We just agreed, so we shot, but it was like "hey, I have 5 hours, we can shoot", so we shot it for over a year. We worked weekends, I couldn't during weekdays, I had a lot of work to do. But now it's just that we're shooting it in less time, more than double the work, so it's all more condensed. We shoot it pretty much all at once, there's a lot, it's exhausting, but cool.

Tobi is nicely confident, but I still expect the game to be moved week early to avoid launching same day as Civ 7 and get further from AssCreed.

 

[cvv]

Tobi is nicely confident

Yea but it's the kind of confidence that borders on foolishness. Yes, gameplay-wise and quality-wise KCD2 will crush AssCreed and Avowed but the Tubers and the media have only a limited capacity and gamers have only a limited bandwidth for absorbing gaming news. And FOUR fucking high-profile games coming out in the span of a few days is completely insane.

Larian moved BG3 forward by a month, just because it'd have otherwise released within a week from Starfield.

A week early isn't enough, they need to pull Larian. Release KCD2 on Steam a month earlier and leave the console versions the way they are (moving console games is harder because they still sell in the physical form a lot and changing physical distribution arrangement is probably a pain in the ass).

Avowed has a tiny marketing budget, costs 70 USD and just lit itself on fire and is now in a public feud with Elon Musk of all things.

 

[DKunit]

The fact that it's in a public feud with Elon just means that Journos(who a lot of normies still unfortunately listen to) are gonna suck Avowed's troon-dick even harder. And you also know damn well they're still butthurt over how Vavra told them to fuck off years ago.

They are definitely gonna start pitting these two against each other closer to launch.

I'm unsure about the whole "any attention is good attention" strat. Didn't seem to work so well with Veilguard, and that was a much bigger game by a much bigger studio.

Either way, competition might actually help Warhorse, just by comparison's sake. We'll find out. They're apparently not worried at all.

 

[Thalstarion]

Likely just an opportunist with nothing to lose and no real care for maintaining civility or self respect.

Any account stating outrageous things that also has a blue check-mark is liable to be doing it at least in part for money. Making a big enough fool of yourself apparently pays decently, I hear. Then again some people do it for free.

Honestly I don’t think the casuals have much interest in either game. Even KCD was too “hardcore” for your average Skyrim casual to check out. I don’t see KCDII being any different. Would love to be wrong of course.

KCD2 may or may not beat out Avowed on release, but I can fucking guarantee you that it'll outsell it several fold in lifetime sales.
I personally refuse to buy games day 1... or even month 1, but I will pick up KCD2, even with Denuvo if need be, eventually.

It's over Vavrachuds

In the parlance of zoomers, ratioed.

 

[Thalstarion]

I expect it'll sell fairly well. Barring any extremely unlikely shenanigans, it's a medieval style game with European aesthetics that isn't full of NPC's that conform to the modern day demographics of big cities and the dysgenic inhabitants that flood them.

There's a lot of people who have a disposable income who will throw money at a game that signals that it isn't pandering to progressives. Meanwhile progressives are notorious for not supporting the very games designed specifically for their supposed tastes as we've seen with Forspoken, Concord, Dustborn and Unknown 9.

Even many of the progressives who promised to boycott Hogwart's Legacy ended up buying and playing it in secret. Those who didn't make it a secret were persecuted as a consequence by their former allies.

Dude, did you not hear? Warhorse confirmed the game won't have Denuvo.

I have not, no. Still not buying it day 1 though.

Buy it day -74 then.

 

[thesecret1]

I'm unsure about the whole "any attention is good attention" strat.

Yeah, because the strat doesn't work when the attention is brought to your product being shit. If it's something that has nothing to do with the product (ie. a food brand having a "controversy" over an ad and similar shit) then indeed, any attention is good attention, as you are effectively bombarding the customers with the info of "HEY WE EXIST AND THIS IS OUR PRODUCT!" and brand recognition is effective, not to mention it'll make people curious what that thing they keep hearing about tastes like. If, however, the controversy is over your product containing rat feces, then that absolutely isn't "good attention" because the info customers are being bombarded with is "HEY, EVERYONE WATCH OUT SO YOU DON'T BUY THIS GARBAGE!"

Kingdom Come: Deliverance's combat is not going to be everybody's coup of tea (I wasn't a big fan of it myself, mainly because of how clunky it was to input your attacks in. Not because I disliked the idea), so I am not surprised that people who are used to more action-y combat are going to hate it. It is that simple.

Honestly I don’t think the casuals have much interest in either game. Even KCD was too “hardcore” for your average Skyrim casual to check out. I don’t see KCDII being any different. Would love to be wrong of course.

The argument that people shy away from "hardcore" game is a myth. Dark Souls had the reputation of being an incredibly punishing/hard game and it still became a massive hit once it was released in the West. I would "blame" the setting for being the limiting factor in terms of sales (because it is not a fantasy game).

 

[whocares]

With all the recent Avoid buzz, I gotta wonder if we're living in ever so slightly different parallel universes. Cause going by everything we know about Obsidian's recent output, all we've seen from Avoid, its pricing model, and our understanding of what normies like, I don't get how anyone can see it as anything but a "barely crack 10k councurrent players on Steam" game. It's beyond a blip. It's a complete nothing burger that absolutely no one wants or needs.

Meanwhile KCD1 was more than a reasonable success (120k Steam concurrents for a Kickstarter game - it's huge), recent shill videos that youtube is pushing praising it are hitting 500-600k views, and KCD2 promises a higher level of polish on launch. It's a sales magnet. On a completely different level from Avoid.

And that's not even going into the more nebulous areas of the woke fatigue and how that is likely to further sink Avoid and help out KCD2.

A week early isn't enough, they need to pull Larian. Release KCD2 on Steam a month earlier and leave the console versions the way they are (moving console games is harder because they still sell in the physical form a lot and changing physical distribution arrangement is probably a pain in the ass).

They specifically chose early feb because by conventional logic that is the earliest date when people start buying games, since in january people are playing games they got over christmas.
If they move it a week early, they still stay in feb but avoid Civ7 launching the same day, thus avoid having to share steam frontpage banner art with it. And that steam frontpage art does huge heavy lifting these days, it would be worth moving just for that.
