but Capon was already giving gay vibes in KCD

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

i don't even know who is this hans nigga

this cant be a real post lmao

I’m watching Synthetic Man’s steam on YouTube, the writing in this game took a dive compared to the first one. 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.

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.

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).

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...

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.

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.

Dude, that is just called growing up and sitting at a computer for too much. We all have that :D

Ok that one I agree, shit weirded me out a bit. But I played for about 8 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.

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.

 

[Hellion]

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.

 

[Rövtomte]

The combat still looks like shit. I don't care if its easy or not. It feels unfun as fuck.

 

[cvv]

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.

 

[Sweeper]

You're supposed to refrain from all animal products, except fish.
You can also have sex, but only if you get a blessing from a priest.

eastern europeans are most pathetic creatures in the world. they will eat any pozzed slop as long as it's east european.

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

 

[VerSacrum]

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

It is more of the same, except more polished, and more medieval autism (polearms fully implemented, at the time trendy decorated pouches and dagger shapes etc.)
Pretty much everything about the game is the same, except for its appeasement of the powers that be.

This face doesn't lie (Vavra if you don't recognize).

Only played KCD 2 about 4h or so, but I would say If you liked the combat in 1 you will like it in KCD 2 too.

polearms fully implemented

I like how the separation into gaming and drama has really fucking helped, right guys?

Game's out now, it is what it is. Eventually the clowns will move on to the next circus and some people will actually play the game.

 

[Morgoth]

What can't we have nice things?

What are you whining about now, bitch? This game is a triumph!

 

[AwesomeButton]

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

Fuck me, a reviewer who actually plays an RPG?!

 

[cvv]

It's an improved version of the first one. No retarded slowdowns during perfect blocks and master strikes don't completely ruin the whole thing anymore. It's still an acquired taste, first-person melee combat will always be inferior to third-person, but if you enjoyed the first one you'll love this one.

We already knew the game was made for gayjournos when the first leak dropped.

I imagine it would take multiple strikes to the same spot in order to cut off an arm between the elbow and shoulder.

A bit late but - cossaks on tzar's duty not long ago as at beginning of 20 century practised with sabres on many occasions.
So, it was quite easy to get body injury - cut from shoulder till the heart, with one strike.
By cut I mean body hacked that deep.
So to cut off limb is actually quite easy with that - harder with straight sword.

Using youtube 'experiment' videos is the best way to get things wrong given how 99% of what is in them is done exactly the wrong way, and I'm not exactly a fan of Cold Steel, but since nowadays youtube dumpster-diving is considered as providing sources:

(P.S. let's remember that dead bone is quite harder to cut that living bone)



The guy is not familiar with the weapon, has an akward form, uses the axe more like a maul, and doesn't convey much force through his blows, he focuses mainly on the edge alignment (which he actually does a fairly good job of apart from the shoddy blow to the cow-skull, although I suspect these are the best out of more takes). Even so, at 2:12 you see him cutting a bundle of ropes that has enough fiber for 3-4 gambesons' worth in term of thickness. Now imagine that blow (only 2-3 times as forceful) coming downwards at 45 degrees and hitting your arm just below the shoulder, only your arm instead of being free-floating like the rope gets pinned to your body which acts as a chopping block. You lose your arm and a significant part of your ribcage (depending on the angle), gambeson or not gambeson, magical clothing or not magical clothing. That's what a dedicated chopping weapon can do even in the hands of a beginner (like the guy in the video).

I guess the engine is closed for modding right? No hope for modding the nigger out like people did with Sall in Starfield, or like rpghq did with gay characters in baldurs gate?
