lol I never encountered any of that, my Henry only banged chicks. Maybe if you select the initial gay option it unlocks other such options further down the line?

Gotta take the "Groomed" perk at level 1. :troll:

I agree, scores should be abolished and people shouid be forced to read an entire review to see what each reviewer actually thought about it. Because 99 times out of 100 most people will just read the number in the end and complain because it's too low/high compared to what they think about the game.
I'm seriously in favor of a good "TLDR Verdict", like you did above for Veilguard, instead of a numerical score. More descriptive, carries more information, takes only a negligible amount of time more than glancing at a number.

Do you write your reviews in greek and then translate it manually to english? How does your website work? Just curious.
And what hardware did you play on, how did it run, what settings etc?
And I assume Kuttenberg is more impressive than Novigrad.

Also, I love that shade being thrown at Bioware by Avellone. His post-accusation arc is satisfying. He should move to Prague and join Warhorse.
KCD2 has the faggot romance and a Sub-Saharan African in medieval Bohemia, how is that any different from Veilguard?

Not true, this wasn't listed anywhere in the NDA

Essentially that's how it's done, wordpress TranslatePress plugin lets you keep online different versions of the same page for different languages, so we write stuff in Greek first and then use a combination of DeepL app and manual work to translate them into English. There are some hickups in the process but it mostly works.

As for settings, my PC is on the higher end (Nvidia 4070 GPU, i5-13600K CPU, 32 GB RAM) so I ran everything on Ultra while playing in 1080p resolution. I also connected my PC to my 4K OLED TV and it could still run everything on Ultra in 4K at constant 60 FPS.

I think Novigrad is larger and more beautiful overall but Kuttenberg has much more stuff to actually do and places to explore. Most buildings can be entered, there are many more stores, there's underground exploration and tunnels that connect various parts of the city (which can be used to get around if you are wanted and need to avoid guards for example), etc.

Veilguard was open and honest about its content. Notice that there are apparently many gay options for a 'roleplayer' who chooses a bi Henry but Warhorse never deemed it necessary to included that in their trailers.

I assume the difference is in general quality and the fact that KCD does not throw it in your face unless you specifically, intentionally go for it, unlike Veilguard which is the most pandering panderer of a game ever made. But you should ask Hellion, he played both games, I played neither.

It's different because it's not a medieval fantasy game where people go around calling themselves non-binary and doing pushups for misgendering someone, ffs

The difference is that at the end of the day, KCD2 is probably a good game with an acceptable amount of ahistorical content that the mainstream doesn't care about. The entirety of the drama can be placed on the shoulders of the attention-seeking creative director and the mishandling of PR by their communications team.

Meanwhile Veilguard is so bad and came at such a bad time that it'll be roped in with Concord as part of the collapse in western game dev.

It actually isn't :negative:Unless you choose to purposely ignore talking with NPCs at your base or doing their personal quests so that the scene doesn't trigger.

Yeah but ignoring their personal quests is mandatory for the best ending, the one were everyone dies.

Gamers ignored Veilguard and the whole franchise died.

There's the Expeditions trilogy (Conquistador, Viking, Rome). The last two are actually genuinely great.


All purely historical, but they're different experiences - party based and isometric, much less emphasis on immersion, much more combat oriented.
Did you really say that Expeditions Rome was historical?

Why even have an embargo at this point.
That's easy: because there is a flood of reviews all at once. This means people will be able to see aggregated reviews (which is better if you're confident the reviews will be favourable overall) and/or won't be relying on whatever review people read or watch first, because everybody's favourite reviewer has time to come up with his own review of the game.

Check out the breast physics when Henry is dancing with the peasant girl.
What physics? I don't really see much movement. She must have a really solid bra.

I agree, scores should be abolished and people shouid be forced to read an entire review to see what each reviewer actually thought about it.
Bullet points is a good shorthand. You could start with that and then go into details from there.

You could watch youtube/twitter videos. If for nothing else than for laugh.

Veilguard was sometimes SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD it was nearly a parody. It wasn't bad enough to become parody of its prequels, but it was step into the right direction. KCD 2 is game made by Mafia developers, and Mafia was quite mediocre game. But they at least had plenty of quality mafia movies to take inspiration from.

So is this the official thread we should complain about ahistorical historical game full of Germans shown as best friends who definitely are not trying to immigrate and usurp the land? Full of smart and wise positive Roma people who are bringing technology and literacy into backward country, and no there is not a law would forbid their immigration under punishment of death.

I saw combat only on video and I think it's even less realistic than Dark Souls 3 combat. Like there is big difference between 1v1 combat and when enemies have numeric superiority.

edit: We got thread merge. This was a third post of official fresh new thread to talk about released game.
