Gameshub is now in the lead for lowest score on Metacritic.

Early in the first act, you come across a Jewish merchant named Mordecai Haim. As well as being a vendor, you can engage him in the same kind of ‘hey, how’s it going? Anything going on in the area?’ small talk as you can with most NPCs. His response to such an inquiry? ‘Pay me’. Jesus Christ.

I do like elements of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. Some of the writing is compelling, even if many of the characters weren’t for me. The open-nature of how many quests can be solved is fascinating and deeply clever, and it looks great and runs wonderfully even on the Steam Deck.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a game that unabashedly demands you meet it on its level, which I do find somewhat admirable. I just constantly found it to be a miserable slog to engage with, where everything was ten times more overblown than it had any business being. There’s a fascinating sandbox deep down within it, but digging through the mountain of muck to appreciate it was simply more than I could stand most of the time.

My confusion deepens. I don't know how to weight Mortimasmal or however he's called opinion against Eurogamer and Gameshub's one. Anyone good in differential equations and stuff?

Huh. You know what, maybe Vavra is based after all. Especially since apparently

Spoiler

the quest Musa is involved in is about some criminal investigation, during which you can finger him. Wouldn't it be funny if he actually did the crime?

Finger him? The gay stuff is even worse than we thought!

Mortismal belongs in the same pile like the other grifters.

This is the RPG Codex, and I say this game will be good. That should be all you need

"Finger him" in what sense exactly?

 

[Infinitron]

Not sure if serious. Eurogamer reviews were scoreless back then.

 

[Larianshill]

Uh oh, he's dumb. Eurogamer reviews were scoreless back then.

That seems very unusual. I can't really recall any gaming site that gave reviews without scores. "No score" is one of those special things, that's what Robert Egbert gave the Human Centipede.

Decline of RPGs! They even make gay skeletons now!

He is actually innocent, but you can indeed convict him to death with no real evidence.

There are a few, usually saying they wanted you to read the review not fixate on a number.

If you are so innocent, how do you explain your skin!? God sees you!

Mortismal 100%'ed the game in 10 minutes and wants you to know it's a blast!

Do you guys think he counts the gay sex as needed for the 100% completion?

 

[NecroLord]

Looks like Ser Vavra with his golden balls in his fancy Bentley singlehandedly saved western "rpgs".
All the reviews seem to be universally positive (so far).

He needs it to get to 100% completion.

"Innocent of what?"

Before it was called KCD, the game was called Hammer Heart LMAO

 

[Turisas]

If you think about it, Henry kingdom coming in another man's butt is a lot manlier than fucking a girl.

Guess they'll have to try harder next time!

I, for one, am flabbergasted that a historical game doesn't show women being treated as equal to or even superior to men, like what happened in reality which is why the women's movements were completely insane and should have never happened since they were unnecessary.

 

[Raghar]

When is the review embargo up?

It's an alternative history game.
See? I know it without reading reviews.

If only some other "historical" games like Pentiment or Expedition series could portray women like that.
