KotC 2 is amazing

Then people tried to help Pierre with better art and stuff.
The result?
He bought a bunch of low quality isometric asset packs

Is he a turbo autist or something, that he is hard to work with or just refuses to listen to good advice?

Daily reminder that many codexers were outraged about it even making top 3 in the GOTY vote.

It was pretty shit at "launch". Hearkenworld was the only thing it had going for it in the first year or so.

It was pretty shit at "launch".

And it's still not very good now either. Curiously enough the people who sing the game's praises usually tend to stop posting about it altogether after leaving chapter 2

- incredible AI in this game (badly wounded giant spider retreats while spewing web everywhere, roots my party and calls for help)
- encounter design is incredible already in the opening minutes (goblin arches on unreachable ridges, giant frog leaps out of the pond in the middle of my formation)

This is all true. I also enjoy how the game provides the tools to counter these terrain effects. Web and grease can be burned away, clouds can be removed through gust of wind. Combat is very adaptive, that's what makes it interesting.

Have a guess.

The second dungeon level is the best, the third has some annoying filler combat against slimes that I find annoying, and chapter 4 is just filled with bullshit that's true.

But I did play all the way to the end:

Overall Gleegold Keep is the weakest of all areas in the game, but the journey to get there is great.

The tokens and top-down dungeons looked great once you got used to them. Very readable, great for gameplay.

This is exactly what happened

I actually grew to like the tokens, like you said very readable

It's almost like chess

or in other words git gud

This reminds me, I never bothered to get the game on steam/GOG. Let me guess, I have to email Pierre directly to make that happen.

Haerkenwold* not world

It's a name of a castle, Castle Haerkenwold

You first have to understand *who* passes for a codexer nowadays

People who want to be animals, or people who fap to Japanese cartoons (we even have a thread about it). You even have people on this forum who literally changed their gender. I am not joking btw

No

I have it on both platforms

I also love rest restrictions and the fact you're forced to regularly use up potions/scrolls/consumables because it's so challenging

40Eur is a lot. How long is the game?

Never mind, I see now that the Kickstarter offered Steam keys only for higher tier backers.

lmao

 

[luj1]

I didn't even back this game

In fact I waited for the GOG release, and even longer (for patches/modules) before trying it

I'm a noob, I know nothing about most games but a quick search on YT got me this:

How accurate is this

I asked r/Gaming what the best RPGs of the past decade were. I got a lot of Dragon Age: Inquisition, Disco Elysium, and Baldur's Gate 3. One person said Elden Ring, but he was mass downvoted for trying to gatekeep by choosing a difficult game.
