Sad to see that DEIniel Vavra caved and tried to appease people that don't buy or play games. Could have been probably their owner pushing for it

He got tons of shit for it to the point the fucker was almost cancelled.

It's a business.

Be grateful he didn't make Henry black and have a medieval Megan the Stallion twerking as a potential consort.
There is always game 3

What’s it been? 3 or 4 days? You would think by now Vavra would have replied on twitter to disprove something spammed at him unless it’s true. Maybe he’s been instructed not to jam up the works while they have so much controversy/attention going on. As far as I understand he’s not as involved in 2 as he was in KCD1 anyways

He is involved just as much as with KCD1. And that token nigger is in the game.

Preview benchmarks and Low/High quality comparisons. Take with a grain of salt since those benchmarks are probably made on forrest areas and the initial areas of the game, not Kuttenberg.
>Another game with GTX 1060 6GB as minimum
They don't list what the target resolution is. In case of Stalker 2 it was complete bullshit 1080p 30FPS, where that card literally cannot do 30FPS at native 1080, and even at 50% resolution you're looking at 95%+ GPU utilization most of the time.
There's also a worryingly small difference in amount of detail in those min/max comparisons.
noooo, a game aiming at high-end graphics doesn't run on muh low-end 8 years old GPU!!!!!!1111 what a garbage unoptimized game! I want it to run on Core2Duo 2GB 7300 GT in 60 FPS 4K!!!! :argh:

He's rolling on the floor laughing at the immense levels of stupidity on display already.

They did. And the first game doesn't look hugely different on low too, despite running a 3-4 times higher frame rate than ultra (most notable differences were shadows, draw distances, and some shader effects). The CPU benchmarks above are clearly off though. You can tell they weren't in Kuttenberg yet. Highly unlikely that a Ryzen 3 is going to keep a 60fps -- they had the Ryzen 3 shown to keep 60fps recent with Indiana Jones already. A Ryzen 3 doesn't do that later on, at least in busy social areas with tons of NPCs (Vatican courtyard, Gizeh village).


Kuttenberg is going to be the real test either way. See Rattay in the first game... except bigger.

playing on ultra (or experimental) is a pointless waste of resources - if the settings are like in kcd1, there will be a "very high" setting between "high" and "ultra", which produces visuals not far from "ultra", but generally ends up using like 30% less gpu power
then you turn off stupid bullshit like DOF, motion blur, etc., and you add maybe 10% on top
it's going to be perfectly possible to play this game at good framerates on mid-range hardware as long as you turn down useless performance hogging settings - the "high" and "ultra" presets are very naive
shame they don't allow us to turn off screen space reflections - i hate that shit and they seem to have some kind of probe/cubemap reflection system in place now, and i would gladly accept 20% more fps by turning off SSR since that looks like dogshit in every game it's in, will have to play around with console/config file settings

CPU-wise, if they moved most of their resource-intensive code from Lua to C++ it should perform better than KCD1
if not, well... shit

"There isn't a single Czech living today, who doesn't have German ancestors."

That's false, but I don't think anybody cares anyway.
My family colonized Sudetes once the Germans were gone, and people didn't intermary with Germans nearly as much as you seem to think. I know my family tree for about two centuries back and there wasn't a single German there, nor a person with a slavicized German name. As I noted earlier, however, even if there were any, what'd it matter? If you discovered that your great-grandfather was Russian, would it impact your opinion of Russia?
That the current population of Bohemia is the result of mixing of all peoples who have lived there together during the last thousand years is common sense. There's no such thing as a pure Czech, a pure German. Those are linguistic-cultural categories more than anything else. It's as if someone believed that are Irish people who remain pure-blooded Celts from 1000 years ago. In reality, they are the result of intermarriage between the original Gaels, Anglo-Normans, who invaded Ireland, and the English and Scots, who colonised it.

I'll oblige you with genetic data, since you do not seem to think so.

We can trace historical genetic changes in populations by tracing Y haplogroups, genes which are tied to patrilineal ancestry. In the Czech population, approximately 33% carry the typically Germanic haplogroups R1b and I1. Around 57% carry the typically Slavic haplogroups R1a and I2. The rest is divided among rare haplogroups from all over the world.



Every third Czech carries a Germanic haplogroup. Czechs have not practised incest and endogamy to keep the blood of Forefather Čech pure during the last millenium.

You know what! You're right! Bring in those untold millions of nigger doctors from Africa and half a billion pajeet AI specialists from India. Everything is relative, we're all molecules of carbon anyway!

Why the fuck are you so hell bent on talking about this? What your personal butthurt button was pressed? Some Czech chad stole your fraulein, ya

But ya ya ya see that Czech chad had German grandmutter, ya! So that means no Czech stole my fraulein, nein

You are misunderstanding me. What I am saying is the right opposite of what you think. I am saying that what matters is the actual genetic composition of a population, not culture and language. Anyone can adopt a culture and language.

At least 1/3 of Serbs has 5-10% of gypsy blood. Including me. For bulgarians it's probably 50% of population. Russians almost all have 2-5% Mongol genes. Poles have a bit of Mongol, a bit of German, a bit of everyone's. But no, your perfectly snow white femboy ass being split by pakistani rape train in downtown Berlin is PURE ARYAN. While ours who can walk freely to grocery store without having 5 random encounters with aggravated 3ed world orcs is somehow lesser

STFU. And enjoy cozy warmth of your burning Western civilization

All cool. I am more Czech than German, by the way. So no, I am not just a German hell-bent against Czechs or whatever.

I thought you started the argument with every single Czech having German ancestry, yet now you say it's only one third of them, as though that proves your earlier point instead of completely refuting it. Are you sure you don't have jewish ancestry?

Culture (of which language is a part of) is the accumulated achievement of a people, and is downstream from genetics - a people with african genetics will never form culture akin to that of Japan, for example. You are thus correct in that genetics are more important (as they're what forms a culture), but that does not mean culture isn't of a massive importance itself. Let's say you meet someone of pure german stock, the most german German you can imagine, yet who, through a stroke of fate, happened to grow up in Pakistan and adopted its beliefs and traditions, meaning he is a practicing muslim with a 10yo "wife" who also happens to be his cousin. Are these aspects truly so secondary as you make them out to be, easily trumphed by his genetics? Or is it rather that genetics and culture both are of enormous importance?

I feel like I wandered into the politics forum by mistake. Can we talk about the game now?
Agreed. Have you noticed that there are much more world simulations now, including moving wagons. What do you think, will KFC2 have some nice expansion that takes Henry on voyage to some interesting part of medieval world back then? Maybe to failing Eastern Roman Empire, hot Holy Land or dunno... France/Poland
