Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Thread

[Turn_BASED]

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.

Never played the first one but I took a couple of edibles and played this for a few hours. Seems pretty good, makes me feel like a real medieval person ready to drink some wine then hop into a trough and rip some mad farts while clapping my hands like a retard.

I plan to play some more.

Oh, WeWuzzKangz: Buttsex is a strong Codex GOTY contender, I see.

Also I think Codex should include latest BG3 patch into the next GOTY voting. Just like DLCs on the Game Awards 2024. Dragon Gay vs WeWuzzKangz: Buttsex vs Bearsex Gay 3. RPG Codex GOTY 2025 would be legendary!

Godwin kills some soldiers with the crossbow in the intro ----> game says they were civilians and Henry killed them.

IGN has its priorities straight.

Duh, I don't know are people here blind, or deaf or what, but Capon was already giving bay vibes in KCD. Now in KCD2 he and Henry are having arguments that make them look exactly like a couple having a fight, and it's about 2 hours into the intro chapter of the story. There is nothing buried, if you pay attention to the damn thing.

Although I've heavily criticized Vavra's writing, I'm compelled to admit that he's a master of foreshadowing:

enjoying the chris comeback arc, especially over a decent game.

the intro feels overly slow though, not that i can really complain since it probably just means the game is long

It is, but the intro is still shorter than the incredibly long one of the first. The game opens up the first open world map like 3 hours after starting.
It is so far more of the same. Game mechanics didn't change, just more polish. Very strong exploration focus. Strolling through lovely woods and meadows, finding treasures, fighting bandits. Minimal handholding.
Certain inclusive decisions are retarded. But I ultimately decided to refuse to let a token faggot/black ruin something I waited 7 years for.

I've just completed a super long and boring quest about gypsy family drama. And my reward was... Nothing. I got gypped.

Beat the "tutorial" so far, so in KCD terms this should be the equivalent of arriving to Rattay. Zero hints at faggotry so far, but in general the writing feels more modern with some slight feminism, so that's decline but not terminal yet.

In gameplay terms though, it's an improvement across the board. Every system feels more robust and polished without reinventing the wheel. Game even somehow manages to look better while also running better than the first.

One truly schizophrenic thing about it tho - FPS limiter works in increments of like 40-72-144. What in the fuck is even that? Limiting it to 60 in the nvidia panel works fine tho.

And your conclusion wasn't 'based'?

What kind of racist are you anyway, lol

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.

i bet if it's dude and he has ass he will give you gay vibes.

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.

What can't we have nice things?

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.

So you are just shitting in a thread, carry on. I had a higher opinion of you back in the Battle Brothers thread dude.

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.
