4 million copies x ~$60 per unit = nearly a quarter billion dollars, bitch
>>726012491jcbp
>>726012491Closer to 170 million since stores take 30%.
Heh, but it probably needed 9 million copies sold in the first month to break evenGet woke go broke bros, we fucking did it
>Already sold over half of what the first game did with a considerably bigger priceUuuuuh chudbros?
>>726012491it barely scraped even. the game development and marketing costs are close to $100 million and that profit has to be taxed too.stop being clueless
>>726012678they aren't factoring in DLC purchases you incel
>>726012491fuck I love that go woke go broke actually mind broke trannies to the point where they have to spend so much effort proving it wrong. you are so easily led on its hilarious
It would have much better sales if chuds weren't bamboozled by their chudlord It wrecked built up momemntum even tho normgroids still bought it afterwards Now if curvarva makes another sequel he will have to waste his company shekes on advertising more
>muh kcd2 is wokewhere?
>>726012854Chuds say it is because out of 10,000 npcs there is 1 (one) black man
>>726012678lmao
>>726012854there is a black guy
>>726012854>homosexual romance options>quest where you save jews from evil whiteboys trying to harm them>synagogue in area despite being historically inaccurate >black guy tells you how much more sophisticated his area is than yoursAlso the first game was about a cult of counterfitters who poison wells and pay foreign mercenaries to come and pillage the area, real history of the area btw. and the game makes a point to tell you that jews were persecuted for no reason if you read through the wiki. its all so bizarre
They hid the fanbase humiliation ritual shit extremely hard, but some saint(s) leaked it soon before release.I had pretty much decided to waive my no preorder rule for it, but thankfully forgot to do it.
>>726012491Preordered it, played it, loved it. Chuddies are cute when they're so mad
>>726013098>real history of the area btwno it's not.t. Czech
>>726012991>there is a black guythey had Cumans who speak Hungarian, in both KCD1 and KCD2. I was offended by that way more.
>>726013260asplain plz
>>726012491akshully development and marketing costed 6 quadrillion dollars so Vavra and troons lost anyway :^)
>>726013364
>>726013310there are no gays in czechiathere are no jews in czechia there are no synagogues in czechia there are no blacks in czechia
>uhh where is the woke?!??!?!Are they really going to try that AGAIN?
>>726013476>implying there were no gaylords
>>726013476what year did you think the Gay was invented, 1980?
>>726012854they straight up have a gypsy camp in a forest that survives off of crime and hosts foreign invaders but chuds will still tell you this game is woke because it has a gay man
>>726012491Yes yes, very fun for retards to do their victory lap, however you (and they) in this aren't including all expenses that mean they've made basically no profit.You also aren't considering that now the dirty kike making the game has revealed his hand, and no one will be mass buying whatever he makes next.As with all things woke, when the hand is revealed there's no rebuilding what has been destroyed.
>>726012491I only played it on release.How's the dlc?Did they fix the balancing?Gonna give it a second playthrough soon
>>726012491Based Kingdom Cum: Anal Deliverance 2 - Brokeback Bohemia
>>726012678Marketing costs are typically 1/3 of development costs unless you are a major AAA studio.The game cost $40 million to make, so $60 million in total, which would have required maybe 1.5-2 million sales to break even (accounting for the game platforms' 30% cut and taxes)
>>726013553>gypsys are criminals i mean, that's kinda stereotypical aka not woke?
>>726013216>TF no smelly mid wife Just a reminder Back in that day people didn't shower for weeks if not months due to disease spread
>>726013476Henry has always taken dick up his butt.
>>726013454>there are no gays in czechia>there are no jews in czechia>there are no synagogues in czechia>there are no blacks in czechiaCZ is the gay porn capital, bro. Kinda true about Jews though but it became so only after 1940s. There's still plenty of synagogues, including the Spanish synagogue and the Old New Synagogue with the golem's room in it.Also, nobody says "Czechia" except foreigners.
>>726012898Who is also treated by everyone as this super exotic individual, because he is. The guard of the camp constantly has to turn people away that arrived just because they are curious to see the black guy.
>>726012823It would have better sales if the gay romance was expanded upon, perhaps with Musa teaching the Bohemian primitives how to properly please a man as a man.
>>726013654It's Bohemia, my bad.
>talk to hans>dialogue option with a heart next to it shows up>dont pick it>game continues as normal>it never appears again>no one ever brings it up>Hans and Harry continue being good friends for the rest of the game with zero sexual stuff between themYoure right, /v/, this is unplayable and ruined the other 100 hours of gameplay for me.
>>726013285>Cumans >Cum mans Haha, I get it. They speak Hungarian because they're gay.
>fans of the first game are happily buying the second game while having a good will in devs>turns out they've made a switcheroo>trust issues starts here
The game just went on sale for half off.
>>726013713Look, I’m not a hateful person or anything–I believe we should all live and let live. But lately, I’ve been having a real problem with these homosexuals. You see, just about wherever I go these days, one of them approaches me and starts sucking my cock.Take last Sunday, for instance, when I casually struck up a conversation with this guy in the health-club locker room. Nothing fruity, just a couple of fellas talking about their workout routines while enjoying a nice hot shower. The guy looked like a real man’s man, too–big biceps, meaty thighs, thick neck. He didn’t seem the least bit gay. At least not until he started sucking my cock, that is.Where does this queer get the nerve to suck my cock? Did I look gay to him? Was I wearing a pink feather boa without realizing it? I don’t recall the phrase, “Suck my cock” entering the conversation, and I don’t have a sign around my neck that reads, “Please, You Homosexuals, Suck My Cock.”I’ve got nothing against homosexuals. Let them be free to do their gay thing in peace, I say. But when they start sucking my cock, then I’ve got a real problem.
>>726013783Take the Gaben cut too. This game has barely broken even AT BEST.
>>726013713>Youre right, /v/, this is unplayable and ruined the other 100 hours of gameplay for me.This buy unironically. Homosexuals ruin everything.
>>726013654>>there are no blacks in czechiayeah I wish that was true. Thankfully it's not nearly as bad as Fr*nce. But I digress. It's werid that they put a black guy in Kutna Hora. You'd expect that to be in Prague but it makes sense because making a 15th century Prague is a monumental task. Though I like the fact that my country makes good games, I still like Witcher 3's feel more. The transition from countryside to a late medieval city fell more authentic there, even in a fantasy setting.
>>726013693It's Czech republic, retard.t. slav
>>726013713It's straight up just an intrusive thought, like when you see a toddler and start wondering what would happen if you threw it against the wall.
Then there was the time I was hiking through the woods and came across a rugged-looking, blond-haired man in his early 30s. He seemed straight enough to me while we were bathing in that mountain stream, but, before you know it, he’s sucking my cock!What is it with these homos? Can’t they control their sexual urges? Aren’t there enough gay cocks out there for them to suck on without them having to target normal people like me?Believe me, I have no interest in getting my cock sucked by some queer. But try telling that to the guy at the beach club. Or the one at the video store. Or the one who catered my wedding. Or any of the countless other homos who’ve come on to me recently. All of them sucked my cock, and there was nothing I could do to stop them.
>>726012898A black man from the most primitive African culture that practiced regular cannibalism, and who calls white culture inferior repeatedly and somehow knows more about Church procedure than the actual priests and bishops. And you, the player, has to just take his lectures and can't even call him the fucking lying piece of shit savage he is.
>>726013654You're right, Czechia is more aptly called pepiki.
I tell you, when a homosexual is sucking your cock, a lot of strange thoughts go through your head: How the hell did this happen? Where did this fairy ever get the idea that I was gay? And where did he get those fantastic boots?It screws with your head at other times, too. Every time a man passes me on the street, I’m afraid he’s going to grab me and drag me off to some bathroom to suck my cock. I’ve even started to visualize these repulsive cock-sucking episodes during the healthy, heterosexual marital relations I enjoy with my wife–even some that haven’t actually happened, like the sweaty, post-game locker-room tryst with Vancouver Canucks forward Mark Messier that I can’t seem to stop thinking about.Things could be worse, I suppose. It could be women trying to suck my cock, which would be adultery and would make me feel tremendously guilty. As it is, I’m just angry and sickened. But believe me, that’s enough. I don’t know what makes these homosexuals mistake me for a guy who wants his cock sucked, and, frankly, I don’t want to know. I just wish there were some way to get them to stop.
>>726013783well it's been 10 months and the last DLC is out
>>726012678See>>726012629
Homosexuals tongue my anus
Woooo!Congratulations on FINALLY becoming profitable!Took almost a full year, but you DID IT!Woooo!Still won't buy it though
I’ve tried all sorts of things to get them to stop, but it has all been to no avail. A few months back, I started wearing an intimidating-looking black leather thong with menacing metal studs in the hopes that it would frighten those faggots off, but it didn’t work. In fact, it only seemed to encourage them. Then, I really started getting rough, slapping them around whenever they were sucking my cock, but that failed, too. Even pulling out of their mouths just before ejaculation and shooting sperm all over their face, neck, chest and hair seemed to have no effect. What do I have to do to get the message across to these swishes?I swear, if these homosexuals don’t take a hint and quit sucking my cock all the time, I’m going to have to resort to drastic measures–like maybe pinning them down to the cement floor of the loading dock with my powerful forearms and working my cock all the way up their butt so they understand loud and clear just how much I disapprove of their unwelcome advances. I mean, you can’t get much more direct than that.
>>726012491Whelp guess that's more proof that normalfags have no standards.The 2nd game is an objective downgrade in story and mechanics compared to the first.
>>726013654>>there are no gays in czechia>>there are no jews in czechiaBoth of them not true
>>726013906Promises made promises kept.
>>726013906A real chud in a sea of fake ahh niggers...
>>726012491It's not woke thoughever.No, one or two fags and one nig tourist doesn't equate it to your trannyslop.
>>726014064there is one single black man thoughand there is jew
>>726013906>profitable!It made it's money back on day one
>>726012491>it actually did well to the point even the the people that rail against anything that even hints it has woke turned around and started saying "we should actually coopt it as ours this time. Its ok that its woke if its good, we need more games like this please dont boycott it even though the devs literally called us nazi bigots to our face and told us to fuck off. Please!"Fuck you Arch and Grummz, fucking faggots lol. Way to stick to your principles you dopey cunts.
(ONE) black man(CAN) be gay if you explicitly choose to be sowoke???
>>726014282Who cares about>muh wokethe game sucks for completely unrelated reasons
>>726013310>asplain plzmuch of the stuff in the game is fictionalized, even though there are figures made after real people of that time. Events are also compressed to make it more exciting. Shit you see like an entire village being destroyed though common in that time, was way more dramatic in the later 200 years. The game's brightest moments were actually sidequests where you lie about peasants being heretics or get drunk and high so you think you've seen the devil. The main story is only interesting in the lore book, e.g. the Luxembourg dynasty dispute and the Western Schism. The actual story about the Henry and the sword and his service to Racek Kobyla is just boring. And Cumans ... see Cumans used to look like that when they fled the Mongol invasion, which occured more than 150 years before the game's events, and at that time they spoke a dialect of Turkic similar to modern day Crimean Tatar or Kazakh. Thirty years after the Cumans fled they grew disproportionally influential in Hungary, settling in Nagykiskunsag and the fertile Puszta pastures. There was even a rebellion by King Ladislaus of Hungary against the papal legate, who tried to force him to pass the Cuman Laws to enforce "Christian" behavior on them, including abandoning Cuman fashion, modes of living and presumably language. But in 1290 he was assassinated. Cumans as a separate ethnic group identified by language and culture were all but extinct by the time of the game's events.

>>726014481There was no thing as gay back then, dudes just sometimes fucked dudes
Just started playing it. So far I've told Hans to fuck off, murdered a Cuman to steal his horse and armour, Smitheed 2 swords, killed a bunch of more dudes for loot and am now looking for mutt. Probably gonna buy some lockpicks to steal some shit at night. Game's fun so far. Why do people say it's bad?Also does my horse remain stolen? How do I make it my own?
>>726014714you literally don't have to make potions you idiot
>>726014714>Nigga got filtered by potions just like olden times
>>726014760motherfucker was ill and I had to brew a potion for him. Oh and before that I had to open a fucking chest to get ingredients, I broke my lockpicks. Fuck you
The gay is bad for the same reason that women are disgusted by bisexual men. People innately respect a man less when they know he takes cock up his ass. It's just not right.
>>726014832
>>726014638no such thing as "bi". you're either normal or you're a faggot
>>726013850>A black man from the most primitive African culture that practiced regular cannibalismNah, the guy is modelled after Mansa Musa. The devs aren't trying to make it historically accurate. They're just paying tribute to Sid Meier.
>>726014593>Not reading all that, please summarize your entire post into 1 word for me.it's fiction and much of it is anachronistic (i.e. dates don't match)

>>726015025>>0 competitionWhat's that about? bunch of big rpgs released this year
>>726015025Even without the wokism, autistic knight sim is a hard sell
The game is decent. Just don't choose the dialogue option if you don't want to see it.
>sales means its good
>>726015129The retards complaining about it are closeted faggots in denial. Why else would you choose that option?
>>726015129It's a fag game for fags, that simple.
>>726013310the only historically accurate thing is the settlements' design. I love that the most. Another thing I loved it was the way the night is dark af - if you really go outside at night in the wilderness you know that there's none of that bright ass glow helping you navigate. It's really fucking dark. Other than that it's althistory.
>>726015025Thats pretty fucking good for a rpg set in medieval times with no magic or dragons.
>>726012491>larp as le based devs with the first game>get bought out by embracer>immediately rape your characters and setting in the following game>larping le based dev trips over himself defending the black man and gay henrykek
>>726015182what other metric do you measure by, if not sales, to know if it is good?
>>726015210Faggot cope.
>>726013906The game was profitable within the 1st week.
>>726015283Why do you cry when 2 grown men are kissing on each other?
>>726015282Quality, retard.
>>726015283I played as straight Henry though since Im not a faggot like you claim.
>>726015282Do you believe Minecraft, GTA5, and Wii Sports are the three greatest games of all time?
>>726014754>Why do people say it's bad?Because there is one black guy (who you can get killed like 20 minutes after meeting him) and one entirely optional homosexual romance scene you have to work pretty hard to unlock.That is it. That is why /v/ hates the game so much. Or more precisely, it's because they projected their desperate /pol/ beliefs onto the lead writer/designer, and then felt betrayed when it turned out the projection was wrong.If we want to actually look past that dumb /pol/ bullshit, the game has several pretty major ACTUAL problems, namely in pacing and the RPG systems being poorly suited to the game's length. To put it simply, the story-intense, linear segments are way too long, and you will reach the level cap and become basically maxed out on every stat before you reach the final third of the game.Other than that, it's mostly pretty damn good. But /v/ really does not care about how it plays, or even what the story is. They declared Vávra their holy warrior despite him clearly saying he isn't that, and then got mad when he didn't act as they expected him to. It's... really pathetic.
How much did the first one sell? because it probably costed a fraction to develop than this oneAnyhow i loved the first one and only slightly less loved this oneHavent played any of the dlc tho, might pick them up on the next sale and play them all in a row
>>726015325Because I'm not a homosexual like >you.
>>726014474zero effort was put into cumansthey speak modern hungarian language and use modern hungarian insults (Fostalicska = Shit wheelbarrow)they used the cheapest voice actors possible (some of them are never even spoke hungarian)I do fond it hilarious how first game mocked István Tóth for having gay lover only to go gay again with HenryVavra clearly had an axe to grind with people
>>726015340Not canon, sorry.
>>726015431I preordered both games and I loved them, despite their flaws. Managed to get my last KCD achievement right before the KCD2 released.
>the tencent schizo also hates KCD2so he's not actually anti chinese he's just a regular type of mentally illcool
>>726015428>That is it. That is why /v/ hates the game so much.Or more precisely, it's because they projected their desperate /pol/ beliefs onto the lead writer/designer, and then felt betrayed when it turned out the projection was wrong.Vavra very intentionally catered to the rightwing crowd when the first game came out. He knew what he was doing. He literally sold out and took Blackrock money for KCD2.
>>726015483>Not canon, sorryHenry and practically everything happening in the game is purely ficitonal other than the setting. Not the first case though. See picrel.
well, yea. the woke sequels that are pieces of shit will always do well because of the good will built up from the first entry. the witcher 4 will almost undoubtedly do great as well. the actual problem is in continuing the franchise after the cat's out of the bag and people see how dogshit it got. let's see how last of us 3 does (oh wait, there won't be one cuz it bombed, kek. let's see how intergalactic does), let's see how spiderman 3 does, let's see how kcd3 does, etc.spoiler alert: they will flop
>>726015578>rightwing crowdno he catered to people who are tired of politics ruining their video games. KCD1 just like KCD2 have no zoomer politics in them. And that's a good thing.
>>726015431First game had a budget of 36.5 million dollars.Second game had a budget of 40 million dollars.Second game could largely be made for the same price since they already had all the technology they needed, they just had to improve upon it. In the first game they had to start from scratch for just about anything. So the 2nd game could put all the money into making content while a good chuink of the budget for the 1st one went into just... tooling, creating the technology base, basic assets for the environemnt, etc. that could all be reused for the 2nd.
>>726015439Fun fact: gays existed for 1000s of years
When Rosa asked Henry for inspiration for the book i told her to write about a powerful woman or w/e can't recall exactlyShe ended up writing a literal cuck story about how a younger woman married an older man and kept fucking one of the servantswhen the husband confronted her her defense was that she still fucked the husband anytime he asked so there was no harm on her fucking a servant for her own gratificationand all was goodI wish i was kidding, i used to post the screenshot a lot back when those threads were popular but didnt keep it
>>726015340being bisexual as a male is being a faggot. you're open to flopping another dude's dick onto your body. you're gay as fuck, btw
>>726012491Arc Raiders already sold 4 milKCD2 would have sold more if they didn't mess the main story up with some dumb shit
>>726015674>still projecting
>>726015672>early 15th century>women wrote booksKCD fantasy now?
>>726015656Only 4 millions more? i assumed it owuld have been way worse since it took 7 years from one game to the other and they probably had to increase the amount of devs and increase pay as the studio did well blahblabhaYeah i get what you mean that once they had the tech is just to make "another" game with the same tools you have developedguess i was wrong
>>726015431>How much did the first one sell? because it probably costed a fraction to develop than this oneAbout 8 milion copies total, but vast majority of them were in sales long after release. The game was one of the "long tail" cases where the initial sales weren't super huge but it kept momentum for very long.That said, it sold roughly 1.5 million copies in the same amount of time that it took for 2 to reach 4 million. And it cost roughly twice as much as the original. The original was actually a very expensive game, people have no idea what the story behind that one was, they think that because it had a kikestarter it was some kind of basically-indie affair, but in reality, KCD1 was backed by Czech's second most wealthy man, and had a budget of some 36 million dollars.KCD2 is said to be just under 70. So yeah: KCD1 and 2 were both successful, about equally so. 2 had twice the budget and about 2.5x times the sales, and since the first one was succesful enough to convince Embracer to make it their flagship title, it's clearly economically working out for them.
>>726015642>no he catered to people who are tired of politics ruining their video games. He literally used the game's lack of black people as a marketing tool, only to add a black character to the sequel when Blackrock paid him. Total sellout.
>>726015706don't forget your cucky cleanup

>>726015674>being bisexual as a male is being a faggotwow that's very importantthanks for enlightening us anon
>>726015428Let's just pretend that Vavra didn't spend the entirety of the first games development defending no blacks in KCD1 and no gay options for Henry, then IMMEDIATELY backpedaled once he got bought out by Embracer.
>>726015656>Second game had a budget of 40 million dollars.Second game had a massive advertising campaign that the first game didn't have. Definitely cost a lot more than the first one.

>>726015828Yes, see >>726015578. It's the only thing anyone talked about.
it's bs how you cant call out the muslim guy in any dialogue options, or the jewish people.
>>726015761Makes it so much funnier that retards fell for it
If KCD2 sold well Embracer's stock wouldn't have plummeted. Numbers don't lie.
game is woke how did it even make any profit at all... fuck this gay earth
>>726012491basedgame with canonically gay main character is getting another Wblack man teaching dumb white europeans is literally real historychuds lost again hahahahahahah!!!
>>726015578>Vavra very intentionally catered to the rightwing crowdNo, he didn't. Again, projection. Vávra told the extreme left to fuck off, because they accused him of being extreme right. That does not mean he was extreme right, or that he catered to the extreme right. He was very clear on that. I do get that to retarded yankies, it's hard to comprehend that there are countries where your pathetic political allegiances don't actually mean anything. >>726015793>Let's just pretend that Vavra didn't spend the entirety of the first games development defending no blacks in KCD1 and no gay options for Henry,There is no pretense. Vávra never said anything about gay options for Henry, and as for blacks - yeah, it would make no sense for any of them being in KCD1. It makes some sense for them being in KCD2, since it heavily revolves around Sigismund's court. A guy who literally just returned from a military campaign in north Africa.
the game is fine, and the bandit crew are fine, but the musa guy was entirely unnecessary, will skip his dialogue in a 2nd run.
>>726015982Because its a good rpg. Runs great too. Thank god they didnt use UE5, I heard they did consider it.

>>726016056>I heard they did consider it.They didn't.They did consider not making KCD2 at all because of how much of a pain in the ass Cryengine was for them. While yeah, in the end it all panned out reasonably well for them, the engine was always the game's biggest problem (from a dev side of things) and I'm 100% confident that they will not use it on whatever they going to do next. Cryengine may look nice and can be optimized well for the performance, but god is it a pain in the ass to actually develop for. The first game being such a jank and the second game taking so long were both results of the engine being incredibly unwieldy.
>>726016063>immediately asks Henry if he wants to try his HVNGARIAN SOSIGJános is something else, pretends to be retarded, grasps latin without formal training with ease
>>726016225>Embracer is Swedishyour country is Jewish
Katherine's big swinging floppy tiddies on the ramparts of SuchdolThe game was worth it
is the game good, yes and its worth to play throughend of story
>>726016332Just like Bohemia in KCD2.
>>726016282Dont care. It worked out in the end and thats all that matters.
>>726016381no it isn't
>>726012854JEWSAlso there's a black guy who's constantly talks shit about your country and how much better africa is
>>726016225So... you literally don't even know the difference between publisher and developer?Cool, cool.
>>726016178>I know good games don't tank their company's stock They had a major split for the release of KCD2 |
>>726016357The combat is too dumbed down compared to the first game, which had pretty dumb combat to begin with.
>>726016282That's good. I am happy that they're not useing UE5 crap either. Thank god.
which medieval country had the best heavy infantry
>>726016408>JEWSpicrel has Jews in Prague, and it's from 2000.>Also there's a black guy who's constantly talks shit about your country and how much better africa isWow how accurate... Dare I even say, racist? Based.
>>726016357No they force you to help Jews and there are fanfic synagogues in the game and they force you to help some Mary Sue black man named Musa Watch the synthetic man vods
>>726016282I think Crytek worked in their favor it made the game really stand out in terms of visuals
>>726016542Cant you just kill and rob the jews?
>>726016413Publisher says jump, devs say "how high?"
>>726016570NO that is what Sigismund tries to do and you have to stop him
>>726016542>there are fanfic synagogues in the gamethere are fanfic synagogues in Prague irl
>>726016408>Also there's a black guy who's constantly talks shit about your country and how much better africa isYeah... maybe don't talk about games you haven't played at all. Because Musa actually spends the entire game whinning about what a shitshow his country was. He ended up enslaved by his own fucking people. He can't go back because they'd kill him on sight. He has no fucking illusions about the state of Mali at that time and he talks about it openly if you prompt him.Or you can just not clear his name of the murder accussation and not have to deal with him past the first 10 minutes.All you saw was one fucking screenshot taken ENTIRELY out of fucking context, you retard.
GO WOKE.... MAKE A WHOLE LOTTA DOUGH!
>>726016020>Vávra never said anything about gay options for HenryThe fuck he didn't. He explicitly says Henry is not bi or a fag.
>>726016447>That's good. I am happy that they're not useing UE5 crap either.I would not actually be surprised if their next game is running on UE5. KCD2 stuck to Cryengine purely because of the sheer amount of work on core systems that would have to be done from scratch, but now that they are moving to a new IP, there is nothing preventing them from taking the more rational choice.
>>726016694He talks shit about you country's food mostly about how you don't season your foodHe literally saves you in a cutscene if you clear his name
>>726016756>8 years agoanon I ...
>>726016559Looks like a generic Bethesda setting.
>>726016756Kek rightoids are so easily fooled
>>726016830Read the last two comments
>>726012491Now after they blow it all banging trannies while on drugs, will the brand name ever be the same after the rugpull or is it tarnished forever and considered poison to the consumer?
>>726016830kcd 1 is 7 years old retard
>>726016868>Looks like a generic Bethesda setting.nah, it needs more bloom
these threads were pretty hilarious
>>726016754The game flopped though. Embracer is losing tons of money.
Don't you have anything better to do with your life other than to spam shit like this?
>>726016559>I think Crytek worked in their favorThe question is whenever people inside the studio would agree or not. And I think they wouldn't.Partially because the visuals were far more a matter of art direction than anything else. UE5 games tend to look uniform because that is the dev's choice, not because of the engine itself. See Stalker 2 for not looking like an UE5 game.As for KCD, the incredibly distinct visuals were there literally from the very first tech demo they released back in like 2010 (the Mill showcase), which was done almost 4 years before them settling on Cryengine. So I'm fairly convinced the game would look the way it looks in any engine.
>entire thread is some nigger spamming twitter screencapscool keep it up
>>726016694You shills are embarrassing morons who don't even know the game you're desperately trying to defend.
>>726016895>will the brand name ever be the same after the rugpullEverything Embracer publishes is tarnished, look at Saint's Row. They're the next Ubisoft.
>>726016868>BethesdaGames look like shit and KCD at it's worst worst mogs all the modern lazy bethesda writing
>Only sold well because Vávra hid all the woke parts deep in the game and denied their existence until releaseWhat a epic win. It’s like a parasite bragging that it won a marathon because it was stuck in a runner’s intestines
>>726016394>says thing >gets proven wrong on thing>"I-I DON'T CARE!!!!"Kek, you're a pathetic moron.
>>726016542im not gonna watch some eceleb, I played through the game and had a good time and its easily better than most of the shit the industry put out nowadays
>>726016895Normalfags will continue to lap up the slop as normalfags tend to do. As long as Warhorse are under Embracer's boot they are poisoned.
>>726012491We won again.
>>726016756>i-it doesn't matter anymore because he said it x years agoSlippery slope.
>>726016930Their stocks arent tied to a single game anon.
>>726012491define woke
>>726017153KCD2 was one of many financial failures for them, hence the consistently poor financial statements. Embracer stretches themselves way too thin with how many games they publish.
>jew lead>betrays the fuck out of fans the second he's no longer beholden to themi shouldn't have been surprisedmusa leaks and vavra's twitter rage really spared me
>>726017183non-white
>>726017221Why are rightoids so easily fooled? By a jew nontheless
>>726017214You don't keep releasing DLCs for a financial failure. You cut your losses and cancel any future plans.
>>726017235>non-whitedid you just call japan woke?
>>726016645>there are fanfic synagogues in Prague irlTo be completely fair: there was no synagogue in Kuttenberg in 1403. There also was no jewish quarter at the time.The game openly talks about this in the codex too. Like most historical inaccuracies, the game openly acknowledges this, and explains the reasons behind it. They needed to isolate the pogrom sequence into manageable space without breaking the open-world city-map too badly, which is why they invented the jewish quarter - providing themselves with a walled-off area to limit the scope for the scene, and one that can be "trashed" and locked off without the city-map being broken when you go back to open-world. They needed a center-piece for the hold-out, so they invented the synagogue. It's simple, conscious, fully admitted-by-the game dramatic construction. The actual visuals for all of this were based off Prague jewish quarter and synagogue, which did exist at that time, just... not in Kuttenberg. There, the jews lived interspaced with regular people, and there was not one central space for worship, instead, a number of small household shrines existed.But again, that makes for a design headache and dramatically rather dull setpieces.
>>726016830>le current year argumentthe game's protagonist got turned into a faggot, there is no going around that. the franchise is now for fags
>>726017214>KCD2 was one of many financial failures for themBecause it made the money back on day one and that's why they expanding the studio?
>>726017050Don't forget about the interviews where he was terrified about being fired if he didn't appease journalists and and change shit for KCD2https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SV2rm2qR8U4
>>726017303>You don't keep releasing DLCs for a financial failureDon't remember, but did they also sell a version with future DLC promised? If they did they are legally required to make that DLC.
>>726017303>You don't keep releasing DLCs for a financial failure.The Saint's Row remake from the same publisher got several pieces of story DLC.https://saintsrow.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Saints_Row_(reboot)_DLC
>>726015749Dont listen to that retard. WarHorse almost doubled in headcount from first game to second and niggers still parrot that second game cost same amount as first one without also accounting for chink virus inflation too lmao. Faggots tried same shit with Ghost of Yotei despite a fact that sucker punch also went from 180 to 240 employees from Tsushima to Yotei but somehow magically both games had the same budget.
>>726017235do you play games that are, by your definition, woke?
>>726016056Kek you're a deluded moron
>>726013638>didn't showerNo fucking shit you retard, they bathed
>>726017282>heh, I lied to you and you believed me? hah!waow! very impressive
>>726017326>To be completely fair: there was no synagogue in Kuttenberg in 1403. There also was no jewish quarter at the time.yes. see>>726014981
>>726017429>i said shower Fuck my nigger retard life
>>726017371>>726017369Well they certainly don't expand failing studios
>>726017326The only reason they put everything into Kuttenberg is because the deves were too lazy to make Prague. Maybe one day they'll do it but eh.
>>726012854>negro comes to your country and tell you how good his country is>something something kikes >gay sex and faggotry>retard developeretc
>>726016818>He talks shit about you country's food mostly about how you don't season your foodHe talks shit about food and women - about lack of spices and nudity specifically. And he is very clearly homesick. But he also talks about the brutality of the regime and the purge of the royal family that got him exiled and enslaved in the first place, and it's pretty depressing. For a token, he is actually a pretty good character. I don't particularly approve of him being in the game, it is unnecessary, but at least he is quite an interesting character and gives interesting insights. I don't believe Vávra when he says he wasn't pressured into putting him in. But I think they did their absolute best with what they had to do.
>cope: the thread
>>726017534Not necessarily. Ubisoft expanded rapidly this year and they're going bankrupt.
>>726017535While KCD is pretty, buildings are definitely a weak point.The landscapes are the best looking part of the game, so choosing Kuttenberg was probably playing to their strengths
>>726017572>mostly about how you don't season your foodI never understood this, of course we season our food. We just don't put excess into our food to the point we can't even taste the food over the spices.
>>726017441We hate lying jews, let's believe the jew
>>726017572Agreed. Sometimes you have to compromise to please multiple parties.The binary american brain simply cannot comprehend this which is where most of the bitching comes from. No wonder their country is a jewed shithole.
>>726017535No, they put everything into Kuttenberg because that was where the most important events of that year all took place. Fuck all happened in Prague. If anything, Vyšehrad would be a more logical location than Prague. The entire civil war between Sigismund and Wenceslauw's supporters revolved around silver. Which means Skalitz and Kuttenberg. That was where all the important and interesting things happened. Prague was irrelevant in that particular historical conflict.
>>726017689>well ubisoft expanded when in their heyday They downsized after every flopthat's not the case here
>>726017728Spices are preservatives, third-world countries use them because they can't preserve their food by keeping it cold, since most of them don't have refrigerators.
>>726017741>Sometimes you have to compromise to please multiple parties.You really don't. The first game was successful without pandering to the people who wanted africans in medieval Europe.
>>726017806>since most of them don't have refrigerators.wow zoomer brains on steroids here.no, it's because those countries have only two seasons: fucking hot and hotter than hell. In Europe people would preserve food by keeping it frozen and dry during the winter.
>>726012491it’s a niggerfaggot game and franchise now, the new mass effectcongratulations kikes but you won’t get my money
>>726017914>In Europe people would preserve food by keeping it frozen and dry during the winter.What Slavic hellscape do you live in where people don't use refrigerators?
>>726017806Not to be a woke faggot but i think geography has something do with that Refrigerators weren't a thing before 19th century
>>726017879They got bought out by Embracer group after KCF1 so yes, they did have to compromise.
>>726017728>I never understood this, of course we season our food.That is for an entirely different and long debate about the relation between food and climate that t his board isn't really well suited for.But yeah, central or northern european food at that time did lack for spices, hard. Middle-eastern and oriental spices were more valued than gold for reason. Even just southern european countries had a problem with this.But again, there is a a factor of climate at play when it comes to oriental food that again, is a bit too complicated for this particular board.
>>726017965Embracer poisoned the well, so to speak.
>>726017572>I don't particularly approve of him being in the game, it is unnecessary, but at least he is quite an interesting character and gives interesting insights.>I don't believe Vávra when he says he wasn't pressured into putting him in.Then don't act like his character was forced inclusion in the game you dumb apologist.
>>726017992>Refrigerators weren't a thing before 19th centuryYou mean the early 1800s? 200 years ago?
>>726017806They used spices to hide the taste of rotten meat.>>726017914Wrong. Euros used salt and dried their food to keep it from spoiling.
me personally? I don't think that Jewish people are bad. In this game, especially they are not
>>726017985>What Slavic hellscape do you live in where people don't use refrigerators?I didn't have a fridge until I was like 7 back in the 1990s. We used to keep jars of pickles in a yard where you had underground lots. They were like small closets but entirely under the earthen ground. People who lived in state-issued apartments during the commie years would get them, because nobody could afford a fridge during communism. But back then in the medieval they'd store everything like that. Even meat.
>>726018025I'm saying the company didn't have to do that you retard. It's just asinine rules emplaced by their partner company that don't really benefit anyone.
Its barely talked about while even the first game keeps getting mentioned more frequently, third games not going do to well at this rate.
>>726018057>Then don't act like his character was forced inclusion in the game you dumb apologist.It obviously was though. Vavra specifically laughed at the idea of including a black before Embracer bought them.
>>726018095>Wrong. Euros used salt and dried their food to keep it from spoiling.salt was not as easily available to the peasants and drying was mostly a winter activity. Freezing and drying was the same thing really.
>>726018092"The 19th (nineteenth) century began on January 1, 1801, and ended on December 31, 1900. The term is often used to refer to the 1800s"
>>726018204I get that, I mean that you're actually like the 1800s was recent.
OP here... I never thought that my shitpost would garner this many replies... thanks bros. just thanks,
>>726018092>You mean the early 1800s? 200 years ago?most people in Europe didn't have fridges until the late 20th century.
>>726018257Go back to gcj
>>726018247Recent compared to the use of spices in food
>>726018257You're a worthless and pathetic retard.
>>726018401agreed
>>726018292Aw hell nahWe are here and we queer
>people had fridges in medieval bohemiaI thought americans were still asleep?
>>726016504You're asking for about 1000 years of history, so basically the answer is any with decently professional troops in the 15th century
>>726012491Good for them, I'm not interested in history revisionism slop.
>>726017728Eastern european and northen european food sucks and that's where the wypipo dont season dey food meme comes from. It's not actually a wypipo issue because France, Spain and Italy can cook, but niggers are too retarded to know about european culture so they invented the wypipo dont season dey food meme, while at the same time gorging on pizza.
>>726017482Based acknowledger of retardation
>>726016504>which medieval country had the best heavy infantryIf you mean european medieval history, the answer is: none. Heavy infantry wasn't a common thing in medieval warfare.If you are willing to be broader with the definition, then... switzerland, but that was in early modern history, late 15-mid 16. century. Or more precisely, Germany, but it was the Switzerland mercenaries in mostly german employ who very much "invented" the whole "heavy infantry" focused warfare, namely the so-called Landsknechts, heavily armored infantry men equipped with MASSSIVE two-handed swords and usually a rifle. But this was all very much in response to "modern" military paradigm shift introduced by proliferation of guns. Before that, wars were decided either by a horse knight, or a bowman, and infantry was completely secondary, and rarely even armored.
>>726018727Actually Greeks can cook pretty well too now that I think about it, but I don't know if Greeks can be considered white KEK
>>726018727Wypipo don season they food is entirely an amerimutt meme
>>726014103Oh noes a JEW were JEWS are and a singular tourist.
>>726018727>Eastern european and northen european food sucks and that's where the wypipo dont season dey food meme comes fromok but we have beer.
>>726018727They just have burnt tastebuds and only eat chicken which is the shittiest cheapest and blandest meat.A good juicy steak barely needs any seasoning if at all.
>>726018727no, the meme came from prison food. eastern eu cuisine is fine
>>726012491>what is regional pricing>what is steam's cut>what are taxes
>>726012661>alreadylol
>>726018247You probably had great or great-great grand parents from the 19th century
>>726018797>infantry was completely secondary, and rarely even armored.No.
>>726018969I wonder if Americans realize that for most people around the world (including euros) the difference between 1800 and 2000 is like the difference between the KCD timeline and that of Cyberpunk 2077.
arc raiders sold 4 mil in like 1 week, $40 but not far offthis should have sold much more. but controversy.
>>726019097Wow, you got a romantic-era art as evidence? Cool. So... do you also believe Robin Hood is a perfectly accurate depiction of medieval England?
>>726012491>$60 per unitThey didn't sell every copy at $60 you fucking retard
>>726013713It should not be in the game.
>>726012491>wokeLast time I've checked you could bag 2 very hot bitches and it was kinda most accessible and straighforward route.
>>726019410>It should not be in the game.Everyone keeps saying that Disco Elysium is commie propaganda. Funny, I replayed that game dozens of times and never got that feeling. Maybe it's because I never selected any of the gay ass commie dialogue options? Interesting how that works, chuddie.
>>726016408>JEWS
>>726012491We know what woke is and what it isn't.It's over for you.
>>726019245Nigger are you joking?There is shitloads of contemporary accounts and art of heavily armoured infantry, sergeants, knights and mercenaries all fighting on foot for literally the entire middle agesAre you insane?
>>726012587Then the producers take another 30% since they're no longer indie. Then the marketing, the development, I'd be amazed if this game breaks even. For OP's happiness let's hope it does, since his happiness seems to be based on the reception of some random videogame
>>726018797>"invented" the whole "heavy infantry" focused warfareActual retard jesus christ..Landsknechts were peasant revolt killers, mowing down cloth wearing peasants with their 2h swords and plate, pretty useless beyond that (see their shit performance in the 30 year war)And yes infantry was pretty much a thing in the low middle ages, the Swiss pikemen, the Aragonese companies, the Scott mercenaries.
>>726019672The producers are also the ones funding it, so it doesn't really make sense to subtract their cut.
>this is Robin Hood fantasy
They had stalled at 3.6 million and ran promotions in all stores, including "try the game for free!", because they are desperate to push their game about a gay knight that fights anti-Semitism while being taught by a magic nigga about African superiority over Europe.
one gripe I have is when Erik comes to burn the jewish quarter, he does it cause he's mad at Henry killing Tothso why is the quest "stop the antisemites"? It literally was about revenge.
>>726019652>There is shitloads of contemporary accounts and art of heavily armoured infantry, sergeants, knights and mercenaries all fighting on foot for literally the entire middle agesHoly shit you are fucking retarded. Like - actually, medically retarded, aren't you? Pro-tip: People sometimes do fight on foot when they can't get a horse in. That does not mean they are actually infantry-men units, that means a knight is at times forced to get off that horse, either because the horse is dead, or because whatever other condition forces him off. It's STILL A FUCKING KNIGHT YOU RETARD. This is like saying that paratroopers aren't paratroopers because you saw them fight on the ground, you absolute mong. What is wrong with you? Are your parents brother and sister by any chance?
>>726019706>Landsknechts were peasant revolt killers,No, they were not. What the fuck is going on with all these retarded murrican's trying to talk about history?Pro-tip, retard: landsknechts were specifically a response to pike formation warfare. Check some fucking sources, for fuck sake.
>>726019913Are you legitimately retarded?When do paratroopers fight in the sky? Paratroopers are also infantry FYIKnights on foot are infantry, sergeants and mercenaries in heavy armour are also infantry.You are badly wrong and rather than deciding to listen and learn you're throwing a shitfit lmao, grow the fuck up stupid.
move into bohemiakill all in your path
>>726020145>When do paratroopers fight in the sky? Paratroopers are also infantry FYII think that speaks for itself, I don't have much else to add to it. Tell your mother/sister/grandmother/aunt that she should not let you post on the internet without your wrangler watching over your shoulder.
>>726012898That narrative sounds like he is some random npc guarding a village or something.Regardless of whether you like him or not, lying does not help your case.
>>726020235Are you actually retarded anon?Paratroopers are infantry, being airborne infantry doesn't mean they're not infantryDo you think motorised and mechanised infantry aren't infantry?You think knights fighting on foot aren't infantry, you are genuinely brain dead I fear
>>726012491the cope is insane ITT, anti woke tards are raging so hard it’s pretty funny, just a few months ago you niggers we’re bragging about Stellar Blade selling 1 million but KCD2 selling 4 million suddenly is a flop, because you got triggered by a black dude being in the game that is obviously portrayed as an outsider and an optional gay ending scene you only have if you go through the whole game flirting with Hans, at this point, it’s just embarrassing lmao>>726012854it’s not woke at all, it’s just a basic medieval story, even the black dude is portrayed as an outsider
>>726013098>jews were not persecuted in EuropeWether you agree with it or not, you’re the ones always saying 109 countries, but now you seethe when it’s portrayed in a mostly historically accurate setting??
>>726020398>Paratroopers are infantry, being airborne infantry doesn't mean they're not infantryI genuinely don't know where to even begin with you, child. The point flew so hard over your fucking head it may as well been Oumuamua at this point. You are fascinating to watch but holy shit I genuinely don't know how to help you.
>>726014524Skyrim does not claim to have been leaning into historical accuracy but has its own reasons why women are in power, racism is mostly against elves and not the browns and whatnot.When Warhorse says they invest vast resources into researching things for utmost details, you'd think they wouldn't artificially bloat up blatant lies at the same time.
>>726014524Does skyrim have gay sex scenes? Even the poster child woke games retards like to flock to don't have anything as gay as KCD2.
>>726020643Paratroopers ONLY fight on the ground, you didn't have a point you fucking idiot, this is all detracting from you saying men fighting as infantry aren't infantry, which is utterly retarded
>>726013476This is a white Christian game according to /v/
>>726012491You've never actually produced, sold or managed any buisness, and it shows. From these 60$, atleast 30$ account for interest and debt payments, 20$ for marketing expenses, consultation rackets etc., 5$ for liscensing, retailing and hosting on different platforms, 3$ rent, equipment etc. and 1$ for wages, leaving a net "profit" of maybe 1$.
>>726020689>Paratroopers ONLY fight on the ground, you didn't have a point you fucking idiot,Really determined to dig that hole, aren't you? Why?
>>726015578>extremist retard think putting niggers everywhere in medieval Bohemia is the same as putting one single black dude that’s obviously written as an outsider, traveller in the game, he’s just a normal conservative that doesn’t shit his pants when he sees a black person
>>726015247Not even that, there didn't exist a jewish district. It only got added to facilitate jewish atrocity porn.
>>726020774You're still not putting forward an argument for why you think men fighting as infantry are not infantry
>>726020848>You're still not putting forward an argument for why you think men fighting as infantry are not infantryI did that, and you literally cannot comprehend it. Which is why I am at a genuine loss for words. If you somehow manage to figure out why I mentioned paratroopers, then we can start talking again, but until then... again, I don't know how to help you.
>>726020995You mentioned paratroopers because you implied fighting on foot doesn't make them not paratroopers, which is obviousThey are still infantry though, and they are also paratroopersKnights, fighting on foot are infantry, that does not mean they are not knightsBut they are infantryYou are literally retarded
How hardware demanding this one compared to the first one. I loved the first KCD but didn't buy this one since my battlestation is getting old.>just check the requirementsI'm a techlet.
When is the current gen update.for KCD1 happening? The game probably needs a borderline remaster so it runs as well as 2 does.
>>726020774Maybe because he's right? Paratroopers are indeed infantry so whatever point you had exist only in your head and have nothing to do with reality. In fact you constant deflection suggest you never actually had a point.
>>726021105>You mentioned paratroopers because you implied fighting on foot doesn't make them not paratroopers, which is obviousYou say it's obvious but you still fail to understand the meaning of that analogy. Keep at it, maybe one day you will.
>>726012735Meanwhile Ubisoft crashing and burning
>>726019672>4 million units is the game not breaking evenmodern /v/ is a fucking joke
>>726021473>Paratroopers are indeed infantryIs all infantry paratroopers, child? That is the key question here.
>>726013828Nobody cares about your opinion, slave.
>>726021490There isn't one, you're desperately trying to see out the thread rather than admit you're an idiotWe're all stupid sometimes anon, but refusing to accept that or learn is what seperates someone having been dumb, and someone actually being a braindead spastic like yourselfInfantry are infantry, if that be a knight or a paratrooper
>>726021594Who said that? What the fuck are you actually talking about? Only you have now made up this strange argument, nobody claimed all infantry are paratroopers, or marines, or mechanised, or that all infantry are knights, nor that all knights are infantryYou're genuinely insane, or just seriously stupid
>>726013669...the black guy also happen to be part of quest that have fail state if you didn't save him.The same black guy also brag about his culture, knowledge and wealth while mocking Henry's in his face.This same black guy were also allowed to attend a meeting among noble, discussion matter at the utmost importance and secrecy.
>>726021642>There isn't one, you're desperately trying to see out the thread rather than admit you're an idiotYou don't understand the point. Which does not mean there isn't one. It just means you are an idiot. And a FASCINATING one at that. You don't see this level of stupidity every day, which is why I'm trying to, as you said, "see the thread out". >>726021742>What the fuck are you actually talking about?The fact that you can't figure this out is the problem here.Pro-tip: I'm talking about meanings of words. Does that help?That is a rhetorical question, I'm well aware that it does not help you. Nothing and nobody can.
>>726013454All of those are in Czechia, but in reasonable numbers

>>726021642>>726021832Shut the fuck up you retards.Get a room.
>>726021832>still can't explain himself whatsoeverKek, don't you feel a little embarrassed?
>>726021928>Kek, don't you feel a little embarrassed?No, I am feeling very entertained. I'm not the one struggling here, so... what would I be embarrassed about?
>>726022025So what's the point you've been making?
>>726014754>Also does my horse remain stolen? How do I make it my own?Anyone?
>>726012491I bought it for about $20 genuinely really enjoyed it. Musa is a bizarre inclusion. Some people said he was a side character you can ignore but thats not true he's in the main story and you have to save him
>>726022189Idk i never stole a horse. Just kept good ol pebbles
>>726022189You bring it to the gypsy camp
>>726012491I just bought the game on sale and for the life of me I don't see where the "woke" critics came from on this one. It's one of the best game of this decade like the first one was beforehand.GOTY for sure, hand in hand with E33 that deserve it for alternative, meta reasons (proven small passionate team does it better and old school RPG styles still has an audience). And honestly Warhorse technology and craftsmanship put Bethesda to shame.Polarization of internet discourse is a fucking plea to humanity.
>>726022150>So what's the point you've been making?That infantry was not a prominent part of medieval warfare, especially not "heavy" infantry. We already established that you have the intellect of a goldfish. Do you also have the memory of one too? Again, how much imbreeding happens in your family?
>>726016936It’s bait. The right one is literally flipped upside down.
>>726022647>not a prominent part of medieval warfareBut that's wrong>not "heavy" infantryAlso wrong
>>726023101>But that's wrongYou do not have the capacity or education to draw that conclusion.
>>726012491no third person no buy
base game was great. DLCs were overpriced but i just used creamapi for them anyway. /v/ lost again
>>726020002You might just be a retard judging by your sperg outs. Please return to middle school history class or just never discuss it to begin with, it’s an embarrassing thing to be wrong this often although that is often missed by you Dunning-Kruger types
>>726023696>You might just be a retard judging by your sperg outs.How would you know? What is your background exactly?
>>726022573Assume this is bait.But a malian in early 15th century bohemia is bizarre and ahistorical.Random jewish character that's somehow your "brother" despite never having a mission with him or bonding with him hes just shoehorned in
>>726023753Someone who assist in SE and knows when someone is on the spectrum
>>726012491Chuds openly antagonizing the Jew that makes this shit so much the third one is going to be an all Jewish cast. I hope you retards are happy
>>726024023>Someone who assist in SE and knows when someone is on the spectrumSo... absolutely no education on the subject of medieval history what so ever, but someone deeply connected to retards, huh.Again. You just find that hole REALLY cozy, don't you?
>>726012491So it sold less than E33 while having 10 times the budget. Yeah that's a flop.
>>726024167I’m not either of the people in the argument nor am I interested. I just noticed you’re a retard and called you a retard. Your reaction is evidence of this.
>>726024137There is not going to be a third one. They made that clear before the game came out, and they confirmed it just a few days ago. The studio is already working on an entirely different IP now, full time already. We don't know what it is going to be yet, but judging from the studios pedegree... it's going to be another game exploring real-world history in some way.
>>726024329Should make one where you play as Vlad The Impaler
>>726024308>I’m not either of the people in the argument nor am I interested.Are you trying to break your personal "how many obvious lies can I stuff into a single sentence" record right now? Sure thing, kid. Sure thing.
>>726013713its like if you were talking to your bro and suddenly you get the urge to suck his dick .... that just doesnt happen between bros
>>726012491Dead and buried
>>726023186>t. Some nigger making an absolutely baseless claim
>>726024391It’s an open thread? Made my point for me. I’ll pray for your family buddy, they got it hard enough it seems.
>>726024383>Should make one where you play as Vlad The ImpalerI think whatever it may be, it's not going to be medieval or anywhere close to that period.So far, their track record has been "Vietnam War, Prohibition Era USA, late gothic Bohemia". My personal guess is that it's going to be something much closer to modern times again, would not be shocked if it was something related to WW1 or 2. They took a good half of the team that made Last Train Home onboard recently. Ironically, the other half of that team is now working on Guilds 4 which takes place in 1410 and apparently is literally raiding their research libraries and assets.But from what I can tell, everyone in Warhorse is just completely burned out on middle ages aand they all want a major change of subject matter. There have been rumors about potential licenced fantasy game, in fact rumors about a LoTR game, but I strongly suspect that came from misunderstanding the name "middle earth and friends" they recently adopted for the whole former Koch-media side of Embracer empire. Which is actually just a joke.
>>726024652I would worry about yourself, kid. I'm not the one who needs to lie to save his face here. Less worrying about my family, and a bit more self-reflection would do you good.
>>726012491so are they done with the game or are they gonna release 3 more DLCs and 20 more bugfix patches in the span of 10 years?
>>726015025>low fantasy eurojank RPG in a fictionalised medieval europe with weapons autism, potions autism, and imm sim lite elements. 4 million in less than a year is exceptional. I was expecting it to do worse than 1. A lot of the time with games like this normies buy for the graphics, find out it wasn't what they were expecting and lose interest. Then the sequel tanks because they're aren't enough actual fans to make it profitable. Warhorse managed to balance the 'tism and normie bits of the game well enough to interest both.
>>726020571We get it, you hate Whites
>>726015592>game that sells itself as being set in fantasy version of germany is set in a fantasy version of germanyNo, I bought a game and got exactly what it promised, how could this be happening to me?!
>>726025528>Inbreeding>ProjectingIs that your list of "words I don't understand"? Because I think you also forgot to list "infantry" and "paratrooper", the other ones you struggled with. I get it. Those are some strange, complicated words for a 10 years old.
>>726016879Remember when all those big companies used to change their logos for pride month?
>>726012854>>726013098 this + women are bitchy and naggy, there is a guest where after saving a woman she murder guy who kidnapped her from behind in cold blood (then she teleport away so you can kill her back for that, you have to walk all the way to her house) and her mother in law gives you a quest to kill another man for vengance (hi refused to pay her what is esentialy alimonies)not a single christian churh/temple interiorfull jewish synagoge interior, with quests despite it being build there about 350 years later shit fetish humiliation quests (multiple)
>>726025859>You already fail to grasp what the word infantry means.Well at least you stopped pretending to not be the same person for a moment. That is progress, I guess.
>>726021186Some how this one runs much better than the first one
>>726025802rainbow capitalism bad. But it’s also bad that they stopped doing it.
>>726025830>>726013216oh yea forgot about thather mother ask you to dance with her, (dancing with her deals hp damage to henry because she is bad dancer, - she can kill you) if you lie to her that it was good, then she want to sleep with you options:you refuse the drink,quest fail, the only other response is to aggre or lie that you are impotent as horse kicked you in dickyou accept the drink (poisoned) she rapes henry and the only response option after that is to say it was a pleasureyou can also agrre to sex right away , witch after that she complain that henry is bad in bedhumiliation rithual, the quest another woman related quest is henry simping for a chik by picking beta bitch dialouge options
>>726012491Lol I don't believe them tho. Why put the game up for free not even a year after release? They sold their soul and did a literal Joker 2 to their original fans..And now they're faking sales and faking pop counts. Baulders gate 3 was popular, people talked about it. Even people who hadn't played it knew it of it. But few have heard of KCD2, let alone played it. Its an AstroTurf. Period.
>>726012491now let's see the streamers who streamed it at release day completion rateohoh, they played it 1-2 steams, around 4-6 hours and then never again and they say that the game is amazing d-definitely asmongold will finish it some day r-right?
>>726026495>Why put the game up for free not even a year after release?To promote the DLC they just released?
>>726024329Well I understand it, and it would be complicated to continue resetting Henry progress for each game for the sake of progression, but I would have love to this their take on medieval Prague, the same way having Kuttenberg was a technological feat compared to the first one.I don't completely discard Bethesda Games for having loading screens but I sure do hope they take heavy inspiration from KCD for the next TES, the seamless interior / exterior and overhaul immersion of KCD is unmatched.
>>726023782Forgot they turned the young nobleman into a fag and added gay sex scenes. >Hurr because you had a friendship with this guy in the first game you're now a faggot
>>726026495>Why put the game up for free not even a year after release?Award season and DLC it's a 100 hour game so nobody is finishing within a week unless they are rushing the fuck out of it>>726026646It's a niche type of games not everyone gets it
>>726026495>Why put the game up for free not even a year after releaseThat's pretty clever for an hundred hour+ game really, the free tier make you discover the game and make you want to play more if you're interested,not everyone is keen for pirating a game when steam is so simple.Not all games can afford this tactic, but those kind of experiences surely can. It's a genius move actually, as even if you no life on it you can't really experience most of it in the free tier time frame.
>>726026653Dlc is never about long term maintenance of a product post launch in these kinds of games. Its almost always a way to try and gather more cash post launch due to the majority of the development expenses already paid with the original game. This game was spammed EVERYWHERE and then no one talked about it after a couple weeks when the marketing budget dried up. On the other hand, Baulders Gate 3, many Dark Souls, expedition 33 etc all get months if not years of adoration and discussion..BG3 only recently stopped being talked about. KCD2 on the other hand nosedived after launch. That's a sign of bitting, astroturfing and likely manipulating the steam sales and player counts. Gamers rely so heavily on steam numbers now that gaming that system would absolutely be worth a company's time to figure out and pay for. Cheaper than a classic ad campaign. You are a genuine fool if you think this was an organic thing. And this time around, even with a free game trial, no one cares and so they push some final desperate claim of 4 million copies sold. Lol. You're either a shill yourself or a sincere fool.
>>726026653>>726026860>>726027000Samefag. Try not to be too obvious.
>>726027305>Baulders Gate 3, many Dark Souls, expedition 33 >Some of the biggest games of all time were talked about more than a niche RPG Wow color me surprised > claim of 4 million copies soldCompanies can't lie like that, that's why ubisoft had to say "players" not copies sold
>>726012491If going woke is so profitable, why did they hide it as long as they could so that they could still ride on the coattails of the previous game's success? Why did they blatantly lie when confronted about it? The truth is that you're just a grifter and you know you wouldn't survive without these sneaky tricks.
>>726026794>but I would have love to this their take on medieval Prague, the same way having Kuttenberg was a technological feat compared to the first one.Kuttenberg was already a bit too much. The studio made it clear that it was already very much stretching both the gameplay and the technological possibilities of both the engine and generally, sensible world design. I don't think making another medieval game just to create a giant and essentially pointless digital skanzen of Prague would be worth anything. I do know for a fact that there was - at one point, VERY long time ago, an ambition for what was at the time nicknamed "the (new) Hussite Trilogy" (reference to both Sapkowski's books and the Vávra/Kratochvíl movies) - the idea that there would be three stories, one set before the Hussite wars, one during and one after.But that idea dates back to the time when they thought everything - from Skalitz to Kuttenberg - would be part of one single game. If you remember the earliest trailers for KCD1, showing off a large city and a huge field battle which people thought would be the battle of Tannenberg - that shit was actually supposed to be what ended up being KCD2.So I think this whole idea of exploring three different sides of the Hussite uprising has long since been buried and abandoned. Also, I don't think they EVER planned to set the game in Prague, likely because frankly, it's such an insanely over-exposed location. I think the idea would be to have one game mostly focused on Kuttenberg, the second on Tábor and the third one likely somewhere largely unknown.The progression wasn't the real problem, as you can either switch protagonist, or if there are large time-gaps, explain it by him being out of shape (I always suspected the plan was actually to play as Henry in the first two games and his son in the last - first game exploring Henry's connection to Radzig, second exploring Radzig's death and last one going the full circle).
>>726027426Yeah every person who likes a game you dislike is a samefag
>>726026860>it's a 100 hour game so nobody is finishing within a week unless they are rushing the fuck out of itSo you're saying that since it died off within a week or so after launch, no one finished it. Baulders Gate was 100 hours and people played it for a couple years. People I know still play it.
>>726027305>Dlc is never about long term maintenance of a product post launch in these kinds of games.First of all that is very much not true, second of all that is irrelevant - the free weekend was to promote the DLC. KCD2 is an extremely long and large game, giving it a free weekend is a taster - not even the most dedicated person is going to get more than 1/10 of the story in.I have no clue what the rest of your ravings are even about. It's a mixture of non-sequiteurs and straight up lies, and I have no clue what the fuck are you even trying to communicate in the end, other than you personally are offended by the fact that this game did well, which is a sign of a pretty major mental problem.
>>726027681I said most people can't finish that game within a week nothing about drop off or whatever else
>>726016920OH NO NO NO NO LMFAAAAAAAAAO
>>726027617Best case they’re new here. Worst case? Autism
>LOOK LOOK LOOK LOOK WE GOT ONE Wow so good, I'm sure that will change everyone's mind suddenly. Freaks.
>>726012854>homo sex>niggas in europe>said legendary nigga who came from a mudhut in africa who probably used to drink cow piss as they did and still do, complains about yt people not even cleanin they shih>yt nazis try to kill 6 million jews but you save themtotally unrelated and coincidental but game dev vavra is jewish btw per wikipedia
>>726027681I don't see KCD as having an énorme replay value compared to, say E33, from Software games,elder scrolls or BG3. You play a defined character, surely with different play style but that you can more or less all experienced in one go. There is no real point of replaying it to play the mass over the long sword or something,and most people play a neutral good guy and don't redo evil run even for the meme of it.I'm not a new game+ kind of guy,rarely replay game 8 like,and I love KCD, but once the story is done I don't see the point of replaying it for gameplay precision (ala from soft) or to have another character build (ala BG3).
>>726027578That make sense, thanks.
>>726029506In an alternate reality there are Jewish Nazis calling other Jews Ostjuden and beating them with sticks.Closest we get is the Israel-Palestine war
>>726029623>I don't see KCD as having an énorme replay value compared toYeah. The game has a couple of major-ish choices that may warrant a second playthrough, and frankly, I'm looking forward to a second run because during my first one, I ended up ignoring almost half of the side content because of fatigue and the fact that I already maxed out my character LONG before the final point of no return, but KCD is definitely not a replay-focused franchise. Partially on purpose - the game is very close to the CDPR approach to RPG's where defined characters and defined stories play central role, partially due to what I can assume were unintentional mistakes in game design (the RPG systems really lacking depth or necessitating commitment to a particular build or strategy - you can pretty much max out everything in a single run, in fact it's near impossible not to do so, which is just... that is bad game design, there is no way around that).
>>726015025>E33that slop game was $40 on release
>leftards will defend a game about strong white men defending their country from foreign invaders as long as it has some token gay and black characters in itlmao
>>726029623E33 is not replayable in the slightest either. Its general died the fastest out of any of the singleplayer rpgs that came out in the last couple years and after the first month here the threads were mostly just retaliation to shilling
>>726012491Nigga the price dropped far below 60 instantly after launch but yeah it did well
>another leftypol shill slide thread shilling a pedo gameWhy is leftypol so desperate to convert this board into leftypol 2.0?
>>726012491Proof?
>>726016286It was Italian not Latin, dum dum.
not gonna lie bros, KCD2 was pretty dull. They should have focused way more on the gameplay.Not only that but most missions were shit
>>726031050Yeah a pregmata thread got deleted because of this
>>726033713>nigger spotted
>>726013654>>there are no jews in czechia>>there are no synagogues in czechia>>there are no blacks in czechiathe game's codex literally admits that those things weren't the region the game takes place in
>>726012629kek you called it>>726012678
>>726033835nah, it was dull and drawn out. You ended up becoming a peasant again despite everything you went through in kcd1. A lot of garbage fetch quests and the like
I had fun. I simply wish the main story wasn't so linear, that part of the game is clearly the worst.
they're going to make a third KCD and its going to have shit combat aswell
>>726033920>the game's codex literally admits that those things weren't the region the game takes place inActually, the codex correctly states that Musa is a fictional character and that the synagogue (the entire jewish quarter in fact) didn't actually exist in Kuttenberg.It does not state that there were no jews, because that would be false. The whole pogrom the game features is an actual, historic event - though I think they shuffled the dates around a bit. There was a large jewish community in Kuttenberg (there was one in most larger and wealthier cities in Europe at that time, and Kuttenberg was one of the richest cities in central Europe). They just didn't live in a walled-off part of the city, and they didn't have a dedicated temple.As for blacks, we actually do have reports of black people around bohemia through out 15th century (they were rare enough to generally merrit some kind of record). There is no record of one in the services of Sigismund's court though, again, Musa is entirely fictional. However, the game takes place few years after Sigismund return from his crusade against the Turks, so the backstory isn't completely out of the left field.
>>726012491>history is woke now
>>726034119>that part of the game is clearly the worst.I liked the main story, but man the pacing isn't good. I think it took me like 5 hours between the point of no return and the end credits, and that shit was just too fucking long. The whole game is too fucking long. You can really feel how the game was repeatedly broken into pieces. KCD2 was supposed to be two games originally (the whole thing was proposed / designed to be a 3-part project: Sázava, Trosky and Kuttenberg being each its own game). It is the cause of the game's biggest problem: the mechanics and character development being designed for a game half its length.
Gonna explain it. The game is ~160hrs without completion. Within that 160 hrs there's a fag option that pops up for about 2 seconds then you click no and it never pops up again. There's also a black guy that likes his homeland who has about 10 minutes of dialogue/screentime. This absolutely mind broke some people. Normal people can say "this feels out of place, this is bs" but still enjoy the game when 99.98% of it is as great as it is. What pisses me off though are the retards that saw a completely out of context screenshot and assume "oh Henry is a jew dog now"
>>726012491What's so great about this game? Looks so generic to me.
>>726034860Its a rpg set in medieval Bohemia.If that doesnt appeal to you its not for you.
>>726034712First map clearly had more effort put into it, for second one fleshing out Kuttenberg took all the time so there is almost nothing to do outside the city.But I'm still impressed by the scale of that city and how well the game ran compared to KCD1.It took me 90h to finish the game I didn't do all the side quests but I finished both DLC, 3rd one wasn't out yet.Ending is very unsatisfying as well, I have flashbacks from ME3 for some reason.
>>726034860Immersion gonna sound like an IGN shill line but one of the very few times i wasn't just playing the game i was living it all the small mechanics and detail add up and create this world that seems living and breathing
>>726024731>>726027578Insiderfag?
>>726035495>First map clearly had more effort put into it, for second one fleshing out Kuttenberg took all the time so there is almost nothing to do outside the city.I don't agree with that. I actually enjoyed the second map a lot more than the first one. And by that I don't mean Kuttenberg itself, which I found to be beautiful, but honestly and predictably, not that interesting from the gameplay perspective.The first map has a lot more distinct natural features, which is quite understandable, given it's one of the most beautiful and strange natural landscapes in all of the country. But I felt like it was honestly kinda ass to navigate, and ultimately more repetetive than the Kuttenberg region, which had more variety in landscapes, events and quests. I never actually felt compelled to return back to Trosky after I left it, and I stopped exploring big portions of the Kuttenberg map because there just was too much shit to do and I was getting worn down.>Ending is very unsatisfying as well, I have flashbacks from ME3 for some reason.Hard disagree on that too. I found it surprisingly well escalated in terms of payout - though not in terms of pacing. I was expecting the ending to be actually very underwhelming for most people - because of the nature of the story, it's not like you can have an epic battle for the fate of the world there.If it didn't go on for so damn long and didn't stuff so many huge setpieces together (the whole point of no return starts with preparation of the heist - it literally has the planning of the heist, the heist itself, the escape from Kuttenberg, the siege of Suchdol, the rescue mission all in one go, instead of breaking it up with more free-roam, it's just too much), I'd say they did as good of a job of escalation and grand conclusion as they could with a semi-realistic story focused on tiny guerrilla group in 1403 Bohemia.The "moral sumup" was pretty bad though. The whole seeing your parents segment was misplaced and silly.
>>726016756i was a fan of his work until i learned he was jewish. i'm not so much of a retard so as to write someone off because i do not like their ethnicity, but of course i was alert for jewish trickery.sure enough, he made henry & hans faggots, wrote out the canon love interest of the 1st game & inserted a cocky nigger who's there to mock european nobles & the country. game's bugged af too. all those anal worms jews have start eating their brain matter eventually, then ruin everything.
>>726012491people are mad about this game but I've been playing it over the past week or so and basically I didn't have gay sex a single time. what I mean to say is that the outrage is overblown. as far as I can tell, you get one opportunity to plow man ass, and it's with hans. I do understand the perspective that even simply having the option is out of character but the game is definitely not going out of its way to shove homosexuality in your face. it takes some getting used to but I do think this is one of the rare instances in which a sequel is actually well done in comparison to its predecessors.in short, the game's kino and you should play it if you liked the first one.
Why did you fags give Baldur'sFag3 a pass when every character wants to stick it up your ass?
>>726036952>or so and basically I didn't have gay sex a single timeThere is literally only one scene in the game, you have to select an option clearly highlighted as "romance dialogue" towards that guy three times over the course of the game for it to even unlock, and even if you get there, you'll learn that its not really about being gay, more about people being really fucking confused and stressed out of their minds. It will make sense to you when you get deeper into Hans story and the overal conclusion of the game. And that is it. There is also one actually clearly gay character in the game - a completely minor one and you don't have any options to actually act on it - it's just a guy who lives alone, basically like a hermit, and if you press him on why (and get his trust which isn't that easy), he'll reveal that he ended up in isolation because he was gay, and it's not clear if he was chased out, or decided on self-imposed exile because he himself was uncomfortable about it. Given that he's main characteristic is that he is a very skilled brawler, used to be a fighting champion, it seems more likely that the second option is true.It's extremely easy to miss this character, he is in no way related to the main quest, it's a small sidequest thing related to brawling in the first map.
>>726012491I don't care how many buffoons were memed into buying this faggot shit, I'm not falling for it.
I'm picking up a copy on tuesday, can't wait. Have the first one on my Xbox series s digital 1tb SSD and it does good, just locked at 30fps which kind of sucks but I mean it really doesn't. Getting the second kingdom come for my ps5 pro!
>>726036354>I don't agree with that. I actually enjoyed the second map a lot more than the first one. And by that I don't mean Kuttenberg itself, which I found to be beautiful, but honestly and predictably, not that interesting from the gameplay perspective.Game looks stunning overall, simply riding your horse and exploring is fun. By exploring I mean getting lost.Sure second map has some interesting quests like the devil-mine but there aren't many so you each village feels dead as a result. Maybe if I played with fast travel it would feel different, but fuck fast travel.>If it didn't go on for so damn long and didn't stuff so many huge setpieces together (the whole point of no return starts with preparation of the heist - it literally has the planning of the heist, the heist itself, the escape from Kuttenberg, the siege of Suchdol, the rescue mission all in one go, instead of breaking it up with more free-roam, it's just too much),> I'd say they did as good of a job of escalation and grand conclusion as they could with a semi-realistic story focused on tiny guerrilla group in 1403 Bohemia.True it felt like a drag, in the middle of the heist I just want to be done with it.But I those feel somehow less impactful than the whole siege of Nebakov and the ambush before that, so I don't think they escalated enough.
>>726012491I needed 5 million to break even, sadly.

>>726037639all I know is women throw themselves at henry left and right, and if anything the game is trying to portray him as a highly motivated, talented, tormented individual who is loved by the people and humble about it. he's truly "the most interesting man in the world" and the romance options only emphasize that as one aspect of his character. so where do you meet the gay hermit? is it the knight from whom you get the welded steel sword? is it possible to go back to the previous map and find him after you leave?
>>726037958Technically it's not that much bigger or feature rich than KCD 1 so it's unreasonable to say one is indie/AA while other one is AAA
>>726037764>Maybe if I played with fast travel it would feel different, but fuck fast travel.Absolutely fuck fast travel, we can agree on that much. I think this is more a matter of taste. I enjoyed the second map more than the first but this really may boil down to things like layout and other pragmatic considerations (seriously, because I had fastravel disabled, getting around the stone mazes on the first map was at time torturous.You are probably right about the villages feeling a lot emptier in the second map now that I think back to it. Which is an extension of a general problem of KCD2. It's a bit too big. Bit too long. Bit too stretched out. It is true that I don't actually remember nearly any particular villages from the second map, while I do remember the ones in both KCD1 and the Trosky map quite vividly. But then again, I felt like the natural landscapes and random events / sidequests from the second map were more interesting and memorable. I loved how the game explored the mining angle, it felt like the second map tells more of a story through environment. You could "read" the history, the economy, the recent war related events written into the landscape, which is something I absolutely adore.But yeah, there were like 5-6 villages on the second map that had absolutely nothing to them. Sidequests were centered on random events or major inn's and the actual villages were literally just... landscape, nothing interesting in them. >True it felt like a drag, in the middle of the heist I just want to be done with it.It also does not help that the heist is the one place where the game's humor does not work. I mostly loved the humor in the game, but MAN the whole "funny accent and funny polishman standup routine" shit started to grate me. I think the "sneaking into kuttenberg city council" mission of one of the game's high points, but the whole "posing as an italian archbishop" was absolutely the lowpoint. I hated that segment.
>>726038143I have been saying 5-6 million to break even from day one. You can search the archives.
>>726038595Sure ill search by your name so i can see how you made that number up
It was literally free to play on Steam for a while and then half off. It also had a much larger budget (especially marketing) than the first one. It'll never hit KCD's sales, and whether it actually made money is still unclear.
>>726038478Triple A means that a game fits the standards of a fully priced game. So we have an open world game, with a modern engine, hours of gameplay, pre-rendered cutscenes, full mocap and voice acting. Therefore, it's an AAA game.
>>726038775Just like KCD 1?
>>726038673I added up the development cost + marketing + acquisition cost. Then considered the vendor fees and taxes for coming up with the revenue necessary to break even.
>>726012556..what's that
>>726038838KCD was an attempt at making a Triple AAA game on a modest budget and it came pretty close. The game was pretty buggy and janky at launch so I think people didn't take it that seriously. Not to mention that people were comparing it with ultra-high budget productions like RDR2 and God of War.
>>726038917>marketing + acquisition cost.acquisition cost.That was covered by KCD 1 and just ER you don't know the marketing budget
>>726038401>so where do you meet the gay hermit? He is the final "boss" of the local fist fight quest chain in Trosky, if I remember correctly. And also a alchemy vendor (or more precisely, a herbalist), one of I think 4 on the map. He lives at the edge of those wide fields outside of Trosky castle.It is actually VERY hard to get him to confess his orientation. Firstly, you have to get through a number of speech checks to even convince him to fight you. Second, he only gives you one chance, and if you lose, he won't fight you a second time. You have to defeat him on your first try, then go poke around his hut for clues, then pass another speech check to get him to open up.And it all ends with you being given the choice between saying "well that sucks" (with some sympathy in your tone) and "well that sucks" (disinterested).That is all there is to it. As for the actual gay scene, again... it's actually quite interesting in context, and really, really fucking depressing when you realize what is happening there. Because again, it's not about someone being gay - it's about someone going through and ABSOLUTE CRISIS of identity, and weird flare-up caused by terrible immediate situation and terrible long-term prospects.Honestly, actually NOT backing out of it (which you can do, until very last second) feels deeply immoral and fucked up, if you decide to fuck him, you are basically massively abusing him and his personal crisis. Seriously, going through with it feels deeply predatory, and that was the very obvious intent. But... you know, try explaining that kind of subtlety to /v/.
>>726039065Even if janky according to your standards KCD 1 is AAA game
>>726038546In the end I was happy to play it, GOTY for me.I'm looking forward for their next game, I hope we will get pic related.I also hope they will stick with CryEngine they clearly know how to use it. I haven't experienced any issues.
>>726039068The bulk of Kingdom Cum sales were before the company was acquired by Embracer.
>>726037639>only one sceneone too many
>>726039117I met that guy, but I don't think he confessed his homosexuality to me, my speech wasn't high enough at that point. I did fight and beat him, and then he invited me to drink with him, then he told me about a nearby bandit camp, and I left on my merry way. also wasn't toth gay? pretty sure someone made a passing comment implying that he likes to shag boys.
>>726039197It fits the bill but it still feels lower quality than something like RDR2. Kingdom Comes 2 is more polished and industry standards have actually dropped since then.
>>726039206>I'm looking forward for their next game, I hope we will get pic related.Yeah. Illusion/Warhorse games are always memorable. They are always flawed, but always interesting. Despite its issues, I'll take one Mafia or KCD over 200 AssCreeds and Watchdogs tripe.>I also hope they will stick with CryEngineThat I very much doubt. In fact I would bet a pretty sizable amount of money on them never picking up the engine ever again. I understand why players like Cryengine and appreciate the game not running on fucking Unreal 5, but having an actual in with people in the studio - specifically in QA - that engine was objectively not worth the trouble for the studio, and was in fact, by far, the biggest problem they had to overcome.They stuck to it, and I'm happy for it, but given what I've heard about the technical side of things, I'm pretty sure they'll stay far, far away from it.
>>726039341it was acquired for 35 mil which isn't much you have top spin it really hard to prove KCD 2 wasn't a success >>726039476>rdr2 No game comes close to quality of rdr 2
>>726039721That's kinda the problem, often big games come out that raise the standards for AAA games and so everyone feels like they have to keep up.
>>726039475>I met that guy, but I don't think he confessed his homosexuality to meYeah, it's actually pretty hard to get that conversation. Which... makes sense. The only way to do it is to both defeat him AND then taking almost an obsessive interest in why he gave up on fighting - to a point where you snoop around his house.And even then there more speech checks. Which... again, makes a lot of sense. Why would he open up about it unless you go a really long way to get his trust and press the issue. >also wasn't toth gay?Oh, shit, I completely forgot. There are the evil gays in the game, which pushes the total number up to 3, actually. Toth, that fucking faggot of a lover of his (Eric), who effectively becomes your nemesis for the second half of the game, and that hermit dude. I tend to forget Istvan and Erik are gays because they are such unambiguously, purely evil and sick characters. I mean Erik becomes increasingly more pittiable, but also still... completely sick and disgusting and fucked up. Not really the kind of characters when you want to talk about "gay representation", are they?
>>726039476>RDR2*yawn*
>>726039117Not that hard to let him confess to be honest, you even don't need to snoop around his house. And it's pretty clear the way he invite you over for dinner when you fight him off, or you guys are tone deaf or something. It's well written though.
>>726013713/v/ is right. adding the option to have gay sex with him RUINS the entire experience, even if you don't select it. Knowing it is in the game is enough to sour the entire experience and dynamics between the friends, especially if you played the first game.I haven't bought this game and haven't played it and I never will.
it's a good game
>>726039721The reported acquisition costs were higher than that months ago. I guess Vavra has been lying about them being lower since then.
>>726040454if your homosexual*
How did this game mind break so many retards
>>726040502It's literally according to THQ NordicNot some made up ai numbers
>>726040689Because their youtube massas told them what to think and say.
>>726040065y'know I'm surprised that people complain about the homosexuality and the inclusion of a fictitious black character, but not about the sidequests involving being friends with cumans and dealing with the gypsies. europeans are pretty racist to gypsies, and yet they're shown in a sympathetic light in this game. henry resolves their family dispute, and you can even forge a sword for their leader as a token of your esteem for them. I mean it's always framed as a job, like henry's a contractor working for a client, but if he were truly racist and sexist and discriminatory he wouldn't even deal with these people. point is, I can't understand most of the complaints regarding this game, they do a good job conveying christian principles through a morally grey or even secular lens. for instance, often times people will just outright offer to give henry money, either as a reward, or because they're being charitable in response to his good work, and you can refuse that, like in many other RPGs. and just like in many other RPGs, you might get a secondary reward as a result of refusal, but the subtext here is that >it's the good christian thing to do, to offer your services and charity to the people and your fellow countrymen, and be as selfless as possible, because that's what jesus would have doneor something to that effect. I'll bet most people don't take the time to think about such things.
>>726040450>adding the option to have gay sex with him RUINS the entire experience, even if you don't select it.>I haven't bought this game and haven't played it and I never will.There is so much retardation in that post I don't even know where to begin with it./v/ brainrot at its absolute best.
>>726040502>development costs at 41 millionNo way. KCD was 37 million and that was released almost a decade prior and was smaller in scope.
Here's the bottom line, majority of the people flipping out over .01% of the game aren't White. They shouldn't be allowed to breathe the same air as the rest of us. They hate this game because its too White. They've said so many times. Over here they push "this is the gayest most liberal game" elsewhere they push "this is the most racist White Supremacy game" its just so they can put down a product that was made by White people for White people.
>>726040984KCD 1 had to be made from ground upthis time they had to polish things up more and make em a little bigger
>>726040984Do you think all those assets from 1 are useless now? Are you retarded?
>>726030185nothing changes, choises do not mattertry to recruit a priest ex wagabond quest option 1 : you pray with him and try to convince him to stay on faith path, hi stay on faith pathoption 2 you try to convice him to rejoin the band , hi stay on faith pathit's all ilusion of choise,there is also plenty of speach checks that you litterary can not faillike for example hostage situation in first map when the guy kidnap herbwoman foster daughterevery main story quest is always the same out come,there is litterary 0 story branching the biggest difference is letting wedding masacre happen or not, and litterary it does not influence anything other than henry dady mentioning it and being upset at the end of gamethis and romance options, that's all you get different second playthruonly side quests have different outcomes (slightly)you can't even kill eric the fag boi in final confrontation
>>726035495much scale of city...less than 10% of buildings are accesable in kuttenberg vs 100% of buildings being accesable in whole kcd1
>>726040853>but not about the sidequests involving being friends with cumans and dealing with the gypsiesI don't remember being friendly with cumans outside of the mission where you are literally tasked with infiltrating their camp. But then again there is so much stuff in this game I may be forgetting something.With that said, people who have problem with the game are alt-right, meaning they only take issues with blacks, gays and jews.Which is why you'll see them absolutely losing their shit about you helping the jews during the pogrom, but they don't even register the Gypsies being there. They were not indoctrinated in obsessing about gypsies, they were only told to be afraid of the Jew.That being said, the whole idea of humanizing your enemies has been a leitmotif ever since the first game. Cumans were picked as default enemies (and even their portrayal deliberately skewed towards rather unrealistic image, the armor and equipment in KCD1 is incredibly historically inaccurate) purely out of pragmatic considerations: the studio was afraid about readability of most situations, the players being confused about who is and isn't supposed to be an enemy at first glance.They already mock the cuman fear in the "dressing up like a cuman" quest, and further drive home the point that Cumans aren't evil caricatures if you explore around Runt's camp.The whole freakout about the game is entirely artificial, manufactured stupidity. Like most shit that /v/ "cares" about nowdays. Entirely driven by people who don't play games, they just look for excuses to act like retards and parrot dumb pseudo-political opinions they were told to believe.
>>726040870His post made perfect sense to me. Maybe you have a comprehension issue.
>>726041096>>726041120How fucking stupid do you have to be to think that the cost is calculated on the basis of "How many assets did we have to make?" as opposed to "How much did we have to pay the people working on it for the amount of time they worked on it?"
>>726041031Vavra sold out and let wokeshit infest his game. Simple as.Do I need to bring out the food analogy and ask if you'd be happy to eat a meal you knew was .01% feces?
>>726041442Asset makers and programmers are people you have to pay but you have assets and program that need some tweaking you don't have to pay them as muchthat's how RGG guys release games every year and profit while selling 3 mil copies at most
>>726040817Those are the reported numbers.
>>726041140>it's all ilusion of choise,Most game choices are illusionary. I'm pretty sure there is however an entire romance subplot locked behind one choice, if nothing else.>>726041413>Maybe you have a comprehension issue.Actually, it's the fact that I have solid comprehension that makes me laugh at that level of stupidity.If you don't find an issue with a post that simultaneously says "what happens in this game is an outrage that somehow completely ruins my experience of entirely different game" and "no, I have no clue what happens in this game", then you are genuinely retarded too.The guy literally admits that this thing he does not know anything about, is also definitely so bad that it ruins his experience with an entirely different game.HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IN KCD2. WHAT EVER HE THINKS ABOUT IT IS BY DEFAULT WRONG. HE CANNOT MAKE CONCLUSIONS ABOUT SOMETHING HE DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT.It's that fucking simple. You can't say:"Your words offend me!" and "I literally can't hear you!" at the same time, you fucking mongoloid. You have to pick one or the other.
>>726040853>but not about the sidequests involving being friends with cumans and dealing with the gypsiesFolks totally complained about those.
faggot kike nigger goyslop
>>726020629>for no reason
>>726041384>With that said, people who have problem with the game are alt-right, meaning they only take issues with blacks, gays and jews.>Which is why you'll see them absolutely losing their shit about you helping the jews during the pogrom, but they don't even register the Gypsies being there.I've seen people complaining about both, you absolute faggot.You're assuming, from the small glimpse you get of a random sample of anonymous posters, that because those posters are voicing a complaint about one thing that they are entirely consumed by that issue alone, and oblivious to all others. Which makes you a massive retard. By that logic can I assume that you're obsessed with the "alt-right" and have no opinions about anything else?
>>726040984You underestimate the Jew's ability to underpay employees.
>>726041816>Folks totally complained about those.No. I've seen a lot of these threads and never seen a single complaint about that.We get the OH MY GOD JEWS shit about 100 times per thread though.
>>726041031Post nose.
>>726041873>I've seen people complaining about both, you absolute faggot.So... do you know that you have autism, or am I the first one to break these news to you?
>>726041774>the game is ruined by Henry and Hans having a gay sex scene and I don't want to play itWas that so hard to figure out?If you're too stupid to understand, you should stop posting online altogether, because you have zero reading comprehension.
>>726041731>Asset makers and programmers are people you have to paySo in your imaginary world, they fired them all because they didn't need new assets and we're paying them throughout development?>you don't have to pay them as muchThat's assuming they're contractors and not actual studio employees.
>>726042074That's a funny way to admit you're wrong and retarded, maybe you should try again?
>>726041873>You're assuming, from the small glimpse you get of a random sample of anonymous posters, that because those posters are voicing a complaint about one thing that they are entirely consumed by that issue alone, and oblivious to all othersno I'm just saying that it's not talked about a lot and people's ire seems to be almost entirely directed at homosexuality, the character musa, and the inclusion of jewish people. besides, to reiterate the point, KCD might have "woke" elements or whatever, but it still manages to convey to the audience the spirit of being a true christian, which is overlooked in these petty criticisms in favor of stoking outrage.
>>726042075>Was that so hard to figure out?Yeah. To a sane person, that absolutely does not make sense. And to a person who has played KCD2 and knows they did not make Hans gay, it makes even less sense.You are confident in your logic because you are mentally broken, child. You are talking about plot events you don't know. You have absolutely no context for the story, in fact you are straight up factually wrong about those events. It's a simple problem. You do not have any information on which you could base your conclusion. It's universally bad to make conclusion based on NO INFORMATION ON THE SUBJECT. Which is exactly what you and the other retard are doing right now. It is very simple indeed. You are retarded. So is the other guy.
Is there any benefit for being loyal to Theresa?
>>726042351>Yeah. To a sane person, that absolutely does not make sense.Sorry to break it to you, but it makes sense to everyone with a functioning brain. Evidently you don't fit that description.>It's universally bad to make conclusion based on NO INFORMATION ON THE SUBJECT.Does the game have a sex scene between Henry and Hans or doesn't it?
>>726042153>That's a funny way to admit you're wrong and retarded, maybe you should try again?The fact that it would be a very odd way to say that should clue you into the fact that it's actually not what I'm saying.Generalization, a concept you are incapable off. Which is quite literally the easiest way to diagnose autistic disorder.So once again: Has anyone actually told you about your illness or not? Because it's actually pretty important. For you and your surroundings, to know your deficiency. You are verbal, which means that with appropriate guidance stemming from a diagnosis, you can actually still be tolerable part of human society, despite your cognitive defects.
>>726012491Cool. I'm sure they'll be successful next time too, now that they've revealed how far gone they are in their faggotry.
>>726041384>leitmotifRUMAO
>>726042590>Sorry to break it to you, but it makes sense to everyone with a functioning brain.You keep saying that while you still claim you don't see the contradiction between "I don't know" and "I am absolutely certain in this".That does not work, child. That really does not make sense to anyone with a functional brain. The fact that you believe both of these statements can be simultaneously true is the purest, most basic evidence of the fact that YOUR BRAIN ISN'T FUCKING FUNCTIONAL.

>>726043085I saw people here make the claims and saw no one seriously dispute it.I just asked Grok and it came up with several sources:>Historically there was no Jewish population living in Kutna Hora as it was permitted for the Jews to live in silver mining cities. They could only come during the days for the markets, but they were never allowed to stay overnight and that is the reason why they settled in Kolin. The Synagogue of Kutna Hora was built only after the anti-habsburg revolution in 1845. This was the first time Jews could also settle there.https://www.wittmann-tours.com/tours/kolin-and-kutna-hora/
