I’m watching Synthetic Man’s steam on YouTube, the writing in this game took a dive compared to the first one. The tutorial is 3 hours (lol refund window) and a railroaded humiliation ritual. Henry is shit on repeatedly by hag women. Combat doesn’t look like it improved much. It feels like the game was written by a woman or gay man with how flowery it is, way less concise overall.

Also everything Hans says seems like a gay hint now knowing that Henry can kingdom come in his arse.
My impressions word for word. I had time for about 3 hours too. The stuff I considered important has not improved with the bigger budget - animations in conversation are still stiff, even among the main cast, voice acting varies wildly in quality. The story firmly sets up Harry and Capon as a couple of buffoons, and that's an unskippable part, it seems unavoidable that they end up in a pillory, for "tutorial purposes". Such luck that there are women to direct and help them, just everywhere, a total of 5 characters. Must be a coincidence. Among many tired movie cliches with which Vavra has stuffed the opening, the 10-12m fall with a wounded man surviving it was the most moronic. Couldn't it at least have been 5m?

Big "meh" overall. I'm capable of not taking the game too seriously, but I find it all grating.
Ironically enough I was just explaining to my daughter today how I survived a fall from about the same height at the age of 13. Me and my friend had used ladders to climb on top of this warehouse. I wasn't paying attention and stepped onto I guess like a grate made of thin plastic. I fell through and grabbed a bar. Down below was just floor. My friends arms weren't long enough to pull me up. I fell about 30 feet, landing with my lumbar spine onto cement and bouncing onto my stomach. Amazingly I got up and walked out. On trying to limp home I got so light headed I had to rest next to train tracks while my friend went home to get help. They didn't know much about concussions back then and I was discharged from the hospital in a couple of hours and told to sleep it off basically. I was never the same really. Much angrier, more depressed. I also have degenerated discs in my lower back. However, I did get up and walk away. I've also flipped a car and didn't get a scratch. So crazy things can and do happen.

Seems accurate for the average number of women its players would interact throughout their lives.

Jokes aside, comparing with the romance option in persona series it's pretty clear what's going on here.

i bet if it's dude and he has ass he will give you gay vibes.
That's such an original comback, you could have saved the bandwidth. I say it was giving me vibes, and expressly disliked him for that. I don't know why some people are so hung up on Hans being their bro, but to each their own :)

Comparing with KCD1, it's damning evidence for the direction they've taken the writing into. But that's not something the mainstream media and the pretend-independent youtubers will dare to comment on.

Certain inclusive decisions are retarded. But I ultimately decided to refuse to let a token faggot/black ruin something I waited 7 years for.
Yep, same. If we had five games of the same overall quality coming out every year, I'd at least consider boycotting this one, or at least not buy D1, but we just don't. There are NO western games close to this level of writing and presentation and vibe coming out EVER anymore, at least not anything made by more than two people and their budgie, with pixel-art CGA graphix.

So yes, I'll gorge myself on this sumptuous RPG feast and I'll try to avoid those two small turds that are swimming somewhere in the soup because beggars can't be choosers in those fucked up times we're living in.

Yea that's deranged. Writing and combat are absolutely improved (combat not enough, it went from barely tolerable to acceptable, whatevs), Henry is repeatedly shat on by absolutely everyone, mostly by men (mostly by Hans, just like in KCD1), faces are MILES better.

Aimations are better but kindda stiff, true, altho if you consider that No.1 important maybe RPGs aren't for you. I'd kindly direct you to a game with crazy good animations that's coming out soon, you'll love it - Intergalactic.

Btw voice acting was great in the first game, it's about 41,233 % better in this one. Luke Dale as Hans is a total standout btw, I'm calling it now - a TGA nominee (not gonna win obviously, some negress will, but if he's not nominated I'll eat my soiled boxers).

Ok, I could be wrong, plus I had an MD tell me that falling on top of another person from this height can indeed protect you. I've had one pretty bad fall too, though I didn't hit my head it hurt my wrist joints. No time to describe the circumstances right now, but I will later.

Dude, I can agree about the other stuff, because as I said, I've played very little, but the voice acting an animations are atrocious and wooden.

Anyone who wants proof, just look at the conversation at the pond where you make your background choices... :lol:

guys guys i played for 3 hours and theres no homosex for me i tried to refund but its forbidden what a ripoff, trash game
It's a bit late in the game to be at stage 1, you've got 4 more to go through dude, chop-chop.
So yes, I'll gorge myself on this sumptuous RPG feast and I'll try to avoid those two small turds that are swimming somewhere in the soup because beggars can't be choosers in those fucked up times we're living in.
Damn, you've already reached acceptance.
You're speedrunning this shit.
Or is this still stage 1?

Ok that one I agree, shit weirded me out a bit. But I played for about 6 hours yesterday and it's an outlier. Shit it's an outlier even in the context of the first game.

Otherwise the acting has been absolutely stellar so far.

Btw as for the earlier point about Henry being humiliated for 3 hours straight - that old woman and her daughter are actually the only two people who are nice to him and help him.

Also game is funny as fuck so far - actually funny, not Picard-forehead-slap cringe - meaning no women or zoomers could've been involved in writing it.

Otherwise the acting has been absolutely stellar so far.
Animations and faces that seemed very well done were Bozhena, Bara and that Von Bergow guy you talk with in the very beginning, forgot his name. Random NPCs though, didn't seem much improved on KCD.

Henry seems to widen his eyes at contextually strange moments in conversation. Maybe it's something that's due fixing later.

The big tittied love interest cucks you with Musa and then says to you it was a mistake. You can get revenge by framing him for something and he dies but then she gets angry with you and breaks up.

Deviant Czech sexual fantasies given fullest realization.

Nah, that doesn't happen. You frame Musa for the crime LONG before you can actually pursue said romance.

What I suspect DOES happen is that, if you clear Musa's name and befriend him, if at the game's finale you've rejected the big-tittied wench then she ends up with him. But who would do that.

Any actual Christians here?

There's an achievement "Lent" - finish the game without eating meat or killing an animal.

Is Lent typically about meat or about fasting in general? Because the description sounds suspiciously like Vegan to me. If so, that'd be another small wokism, replacing a proper chud neckbeard achievement (Virgin ofc) for a woke dangerhair one.

Is the combat fun? I really enjoyed the first one it felt brutal.
