anyone else is finding fighting wolves/dogs so miserable?
Yeah, it’s usually dealing one hit, wolf runs away, you wait for its full animation/running around loop and when another attack comes you finish them off
Well, I had share of fighting dogs in DS3.
And in another game, I had experience like when wolf was eating my face and dragging me away, and I had to hope that my girl two handed sword companion who was fighting against 3 of them has time to came and hit wolf with her two handed sword before I'd be mauled worse.

Remember, wolves are hunting in packs.

Think about it positively. Some Real world stray dogs in 1403 had rabies.

Wolves just attacking you or growling at you isn't really something that should be in a historical game.

its one of the most annoying rpg tropes, where every wild animal is out for your blood, as soon as it notices you wander by

Games are usually peaking in about 2 hours (8 PM CET), can be 300k by then.

Could it have been half a million without the nig and geh? Plausible.

Did you have any interesting experience fully vaccinated against rabies and with leg protection hidden under your pants? Looking small and harmless, and with something that could kill them if they took your "small and harmless" act seriously?

Frankly, if they are just eating horse they killed recently. You go around, or wait. (And I'm not sure how they would act if someone is waiting nearby. "Return later" is also nice idea.)

been playing the game for about 35 hours, finally reached the kuttenberg map
dont think theres much else to say except its kcd 1 that had a better state at launch and alright improvements

but the combat is still janky despite everything
also the writing its a little bit too reddit/"AVENGERS ASSEMBLE" sometimes, kinda cringe

also i found out my steam deck is probably dying playing the game, theres a few weird graphical glitches where random geometry just go ape shit (vertex explosion)
thankfully its not much of an issue, but its annoying seeing black lines and black squares flashing in the sky from time to time

You think more than a small fraction of players even know anything about this? And that half would choose not to buy it over it. Get real.

Whether the inclusion of the DEI stuff is a detraction or not doesn't really matter, what matter is perception and what people see from reviews and streamers is pretty and fun looking open world RPG without overt and obnoxious Veilguard/concord-tier woke-shit.

Two years ago I still believed the anti-woke movement is loud but relatively small and has no measurable impact on the vast sea of clueless normies.

But now? Are YOU for real? Would you have believed a major open-world game from the Star Wars universe would sell in two months what KCD2 sold in a day? Would you have guessed a new flagship Dragon Age game would sell so poorly Bioware would be trimmed down to almost nothing? Would you have said a major Sony hero shooter would sell only 30k copies and then be shut down in mere two weeks?

Nah bro, the tide is clearly turning. It's not that the anti-woke gamer movement is suddenly millions strong, it's the mainstream becoming sick and tired. From now on every single game with a fixed female or non-white protagonist or the Condord-like artstyle is gonna flop or underperform, including Witcher 4, I can guarantee you that. It's a different era.

This one is a poor argument tho since I'm pretty sure a lot of people on this forum 100% expected this.

I think this mainly has to do with the fact that Outlaws, Veilguard and Concord were shit games with bad reception. The trailers and pre-release material produced zero interest from anybody. They look like uninspired slop, because they are. The latter was also in an oversaturated market.
KCD was a memorable hit from the start that became an even larger sleeper hit later after discounts, when gamers see some streams of KCD2 being the same thing, they buy it. If the "muh woke destroys sales" theory held any water games like Hogwarts Legacy or BG3 would be flops instead of megahits.

my bigger issue is its hit boxes and how its always just out of reach when I wield short sword. Even when I parry and riposte I usually miss and wait forever for another attack.
Actually I had best experience by trying to run it against the wall, then my attacks start connecting.
Also I need to put 3 hunting arrows into one to kill it.

It's an uberbased game. Didn't you keep up? "Optional" woke stuff is never woke also it wasn't FORCED because the devs wanted to do it hence it is double not woke.

Since when does it matter for the mainstream normies that a game is shitty?

Now people act as if they fully expected all this but just two years ago everyone here firmly believed any stinking turd would sell 10 million as long as it's wrapped in some shiny cellophane, because how retarded normies are. Because that's how the world had worked up until recently.

Not any more.

Have you tried to fight wolves unarmed because you want that vegan trophy? Now THAT'S fun.

Hogwarts Legacy, even though it had similar issues to KCD2, was boycotted by the wokies themselves. JK Rowling is a homophobe and a transphobe now, even though she is/was a leftie herself. Usually if an wokie says something is shit/bigoted/phobic that's like a seal of 'approval' that the game is good.
I've played it and I really enjoyed that game. It reminded me of the time when I've played those Harry Potter PC games when I was a kid. Discovering the magical wonders of Hogwarts.
As for BG3 it's an anomaly. Some of the woke stuff was added with 1.0 or after. Some was there already. I for one don't like the game. Period. I am not a fan of the tactical games as my luck is shit and so are my rolls. I will be giving it a second go, this time with the No Alphabet Mod.


Fuck them wokies
