Is it bogged?
>>729405564You're in for some of the most wild nonsense imaginable and a lorebase that is as compelling as it feels incomplete and ̶s̶k̶e̶l̶e̶t̶o̶n̶s̶ normal humans.
it's shitthe game is all about tricking you into thinking there's some deep and rich gameplay with a living world just around the corner, you just need to learn the game a little more to appreciate itbut no, what you see is what you get. it's just an empty world with roaming bands of mooks and a few uninteresting cities
>>729406085It is a shame they went straight into Kenshi 2 instead of fleshing out the first game
>>729405564Insanely addictive for reasons that are hard to explain. Also, look into modding it. There are thousands of mods that improve the game significantly.
>>729406085>>729406272This.One day the dev just said "it's 1.0 now, bye". They argued that they already implemented more features than originally planned and that's cool but the game still feels unfinished.If you like weird worlds and sandbox games it is very worthwhile experience though.
I think what annoys me the most is how you can't take over factions, only wipe them out. If I kill pheonix faggot I should be allowed to take over the holy nation for example (as a skeleton for maximum salt)
>>729406723>mfw I steal all their clothes and keep them in a private vault as trophies
>>729406272a lot of the time it's easier (and definitely more profitable) to just make a whole new game than retrofit an existing one to have all the shit you want.if he wanted to add vehicles he'd have to do a bunch of shit to get it working in his current engine while ue5 has out of box support for it and everyone that likes kenshi already bought it.it's a no brainer in basically every respect.
>>729406635name just one reason (don't have to explain it)
>>729405564Wish I could get into this game
>>729405564looks like one of those unplayable games unless you have the wiki open at the same time
>>729406272I mean, I say that the lore feels incomplete because it does, but also... what else can be done with Kenshi as it is? Making Kenshi 2 is the best move both in terms of design/coding and in terms of storytelling. That said, more consequences for things like bodying Cat-Lon and/or the Holy Phoenix would have been neat.
>>729407729not even the wiki will save you
>>729407657what holds you back?
>>729408027I dunno, it just doesn't grab me. I think not knowing what to even do doesn't help
I hate how easy it is for enemies to kick your fucking shit in via the chest/stomach hit areas. The rest can be re-enforced with robot limbs and the head seems to do fine with a helmet yet no amount of armor seems to stop my fellas getting fucked up in chest/stomach
>>729405564>What am I in forGAWDLIKE LVDOKINO
the entire loop of this game is abusing bugs and poor game design. not even joking.
>>729408238Uh-uh.There's also swinging a Plank at Fogmen for eight hours straight.
>>729408319or deliberately getting caught by cannibals so they eat your limbs so you can replace them with stronger robot limbs
>>729408365>getting caught by cannibalsHeh.
>>729407230all for the low low cost of the soul
Really fun for about 20 hours until you come to the realization that it's 10% of a game. You can mod it up the asshole with deviantart horrors to squeeze out another playthrough, but it'll still be 10% of a game just in clown make-up which is admittedly quite hilarious. Now that I think about it 10% may be too generous. Oh, and it has the structural soundness of a chinese highrise.
>>729408567>all those status bars
>>729406272The engine is complete and utter garbage. It's a miracle he got the game working at all. I don't blame them for making a more fleshed out sequel on an actually usable engine.
>>729408567I see what u did there.I did the same thing.feel bad doing it to my units but gotta man the fuck up to be in the squad
>>729408114You clearly haven't leveled up your Toughness enough. Or aren't wearing Masterwork grade Samurai armor. It's relatively easy to get your toughness up to 80-90 if you know what you're doing so go ahead and do that. There are guides online on how to do it if you don't mind relying on them.
>>729409002we both know this isnt going to be what happens
Kenshi 2 isn't even in the steam store c'mon bruh*tiktok fart sound*
>>729409185>Or aren't wearing Masterwork grade Samurai armor.My main guy is a martial arts dude and samurai armor FUCKS his dodge up too badly to be worth using?
>>729409264Just train your dodge and your toughness. Then you won't get hit as much and you'll be able to take more punishment. A good martial artist should have a minimum of 90 toughness. Also, consider wearing some chainmail, that shouldn't fuck up your dodge too much.
>>729408238the best one is putting knocked out animals in bed so they're stuck as punching bags
>>729407357Autistic grinding is the reasonalso amputee fetishism and watching your characters grow MUSCLES as they get strongerand scorchlander womenMy favourite sword is the HORSE CHOPPER and everytime I meet a nigger named HORSE I CHOP him with it
>>729409192There's a chance. I think Chris is still genuinely passionate about the game. He's been working on Kenshi (in general) for almost 20 years now after all.
>>729409563>My favourite sword is the HORSE CHOPPER and everytime I meet a nigger named HORSE I CHOP him with itunfathomably based
it's autism core. if you're on the spectrum you'll probably like it. in actuality the game sucks and is made worse by arbitrary game play decisions. they have a skill called assassination that doesn't actually assassinate anyone lel. developer is a dumb fuck. also runs like shit and will fry your cpu
>>729409585If you say so.
>>729406272you know kenshi 2 is going to not be as good too. its a shame. kenshi is one of those games that is accidentally good
>>729409681Thisalso>>7294096922 is dead in the water because Chris is a demoralized fucktard
>>729409692nevermind, shit is cooked.
>>729405564A journey
>>729409008See, I only know OF doing it. I have never done it because my pawns lose their limbs like we did in the old days, by getting the spit kicked out of us by Beak Things and Skimmers.>>729409681>it's autism core. if you're on the spectrum you'll probably like it.So does this mean I can skip seeing a doctor and just go right to being diagnosed with autism?
>>729409875Can I pway it wit a contwollah?
>>729409692This doesn't mean much of anything. It's just virtue signaling, it was probably the decision of their social media manager or whatever. There's no real reason to assume that there'll be anything "woke" shoehorned into Kenshi 2, in fact it would be really difficult to do so knowing the actual lore of the game. We're talking about a game where the objectively best faction is a group of misogynist cultists. And where the bad guys are all the same race.
any game which features crossbows as the primary (or only) ranged weapon is always a good game. always.no really, think about it. find ONE GAME where crossbows are the main ranged weapon and the game is bad. you literally cannot. its like a litmus test for good games
>>729410003it sounds like it would really painful but go ahead
>>729410126But if it's not a controller it's not a videogame
>>729405564Kino. Mine some copper, get your combat skills trained up, and go on an adventure. Don't fall for the base building trap.
Give me one good reason why you shouldn't play as a skeleton
>can't be a slaver despite slavery being in the game because developer is a faggot that can't disassociate slavery with muh heckin niggies>assassination skill doesn't kill people because the developer wants npcs to be have the same capabilities as players and doesn't want players to instantly die even though you fucking instantly die from everything>actually hard as fuck to kill enemies because you can't coup de grace so tough enemies will just be crawling around limbless alerting their friends while you can't do shit about it>despite limbs flying everywhere you can't decapitate enemies for the same excuse as assassination not killing anyoneit's all so very lame
>>729410223the holy nation will say mean things to you
>>729410223Hivers.
>>729405564Mouse trap for autists
>>729410249You literally can be a slaver, in the sense that you can sell slaves, though technically you can't enslave people unless you sell them then re-buy them and get lucky enough that they don't run off on you. But being a slaver isn't very profitable compared to most other moneymaking methods.The assassination thing is barely an issue since you can very easily mod it in but yeah it is kinda stupid. I wouldn't mind enemies having the ability to instantly kill you as well.
>>729408238And that's a good thing, which every proper sandbox is necessarily built around.
>>729410048ah. i remember my first rodeo too. for me it was foamy the squirrel.
no game and i mean no game has ever been good and had women in its development team. women fucking suck
>>729408869I'm halfway in and it already looks sketch as fuckWhy is it playing on my secondary screen?
>>729410223Because then you'd be a disgusting, filthy clankigger

>>729410375The helmet is the 'RE_Kenshi' mod
>>729405564its fun when you are learning how to play. it because autism simulator once you know how to meta game it. to get started i would get a companion and have him hide a ways away so he can bandage and put you on a bed when you get knocked out, and you should fight until you get knocked out to get combat XP.
>>729405564>you will hate it>you will try to play as intended but find a janky slow mess>then you will find your first exploit, then the next, and the next one...>then you will start downloading mods to fuck around with it>then you'll start making your own mods for it>by the time you're done making them you'll be to bored to play the game
>>729410223it makes everything too easy
>>729410223why would you start the game as a sinner instead of committing your own crimesanyone can turn into a skeleton anyway
>>729410209actually playing out a small hut and using one craft+farming and cooing and selling that shit is kino>>729410249Yeah, they could have easily found better solutions for players getting instakilled/decapitations and the whole "lose and get stronger" thing but Christ was LAZY

Yeah my game's gonna be ten times more antisemitic yo
>>729405564My first playthrough I decided to play solo and for the first like 3 or 4 hours basically all I did was play like a typical kleptomaniac Skyrim player. All I did was savescum to steal from shops, then sell that crap to other shops. Then I spent maybe an hour or so on training dummies on fast-forward speed. Then I got owned by 3 or 4 starving bandits.But now I can reliably kill like 6 fogmen with a single swing and take on like 20 at once. 9/10 experience.

130 hours and every time I play I just sit in the Hub mining and dragging bandits to the city to sell their shit, i still have fun but what’s something else I should actually do with the game?
>/v/ complains that game menus no longer have any soul>/v/ proceeds to use the corpo slop UI instead of the SOVLFVLL rust covered one
>>729415208The same thing but in a different town. There's a nice waystation in the Grey Desert that has iron spiders spawn near it. Flats Lagoon is also a pretty cool town.
>>729413632Kind of yeah. It's a sandbox where you run around and grind skills. Except you can have a whole party of people.
How in-depth do you anons get with the lore for your bases and towns?
She's not gonna fuck you, janny.

I went into the bar and no one gave me a quest.I went into my house and got free stuff but my inventory was full of like flour and water and slopBruh what even is this unc game smdh
>>729412742I wish I had a cool sister I could give all my shit to.
>>729405564Its fun but its also a game you need to make your own fun. But it gives you a lot of tools to get to that end. Me? I went off the deep end.Green text stories are a pain in the ass. I started as a slave. Discovered you could put shakels on guards you knocked out to make the guards into slaves. Broke out, blacked out hood style, found the Ninjas, became a Ninja, made my own village, became Hokage, and got attacked a ton by cannables and the Pheonix assholes.After getting annnoyed by the cannibals I started cucking them by mind breaking the females by making then pick cotton, and giving them man meat if you know what I mean. The males I castrated and turned into nuggets Id use to train the females in martial arts, so they could be my personal harem army.I eventually got so efficient at recruiting female short stack cannibals, oh yeah, when you recruit an NPC you can edit them so I gave them huge boobies, a fat ass, and made em short. After making then masters in picking cotton and Tai Kwan Leap, I equipped them with masterwork wrapons and armor, and sent them on jihads to kill the Pheonix Lord for their Harem bull. It took 3 generations of Sailor Sluts, but they kidnapped the Pheonix Lord for me. And for the crime of making me a slave? I turned the pheonix lord into a nugget, gave him shitty cyborg legs, took him to the prison camp and made him into a slave just like the guards were.The best part! When the Pheonix Lord's body guards would come to rescue him at the work camp, they'd find him as a slave nigger, beat him to death, leave, a guard would then heal him, lock him back up, and the process would repeat a day later.10/10 I unintalled and haven't played since. I don't know of any game that would ever let me do this but Kenshi. And yeah mods did a lot of lifting but that was genuinely the most fun I've ever had in a game.

>>729438429My first time playing Kenshi, I started losing track of time. I lost days. I only stopped playing to sleep.
>>729405564a boring game that retards will go blue in the face trying to convince you is actually kinojust look at the cover art, pretend you played what game you think it is and move on with your life.
>>7294055641) Building a base is a noob trap. If you cannot confidently hold your own exploring then you have no ability to defend a settlement.2) Nothing wrong with being a townie until you have a foothold.3) Fuck you.
a cool concept with 0 implementation made by a bunch of faggot art students in the UK
>>729405564Kenshi is an amazingly fun game. But I lost interest when hoards of raiders kept raiding my base despite me building defenses, walls, and training my guys. A raid isn't too much of a problem, but these guys kept raiding every single day, I couldn't defend my base. I don't know if this was a specific area thing, dumb luck, glitch or if I'm just bad. I would highly recommend it though, it is very addicting.
>>729405564Unfinished barren open world, with unfinished RPG elements even though the dev makes fun of RPGs.It's hard for me to look at it as anything other than a massive early access grift and drones following the dev.The early game is the most fun because it's actually finished, but that's not enough to pay money for, and mods won't fix that.
It's suffers from the same problem as Project Zomboid. It's not actually a game, it's just the mechanical framework for a game. Yes, all the assets are there, the gameplay mechanics are there, but there's nothing to actually do. So you end up with autists telling you to "make your own fun" which consists of autistic busy work like grinding skills and money (using exploits no less) and not much else.
I do hope whenever Kenshi 2 comes out (if it comes out in our lifetime) that we do get some end goals to work towards, because in 1 all you do is, get kicked in by starving hobos, get stronger, hopefully build a base and defend said base from annoying holy nation preachers or thieves and run the entire hash business and finally repeat I know you can see out folk like Cat-Lon if you get bored but why, he sits up in the mountain doing nothing and doesn't effect the rest of the game if you kill him, if his army of lobotomized skeletons were terrorizing the rest of the map then that be a reason to seek him out but he doesn't
>>729405564You're in for a game that isn't even a game. Literally tamagochis have more gameplay. This is just some shit you look at while you imagine there being an actual vidya there.
post-soviet Afghanistan(including noosphere tier shit) and desertpunk vibes inside a slow minimalist rts sims-world.The game has so_l under the jank and it's up to "u" to fill it in.
>>729438892This. In fact if you like Kenshi and PZ I'd highly recommend checking out Survivalist Invisible Strain to see what an actual sandbox vidya should be like. There's a campaign mode but I've never touched it, the sandbox mode is more than lively and dynamic enough.
>>729406272Kenshi 2 is in development hell due to Unreal Engine 5.
>>729432079now all you need to do is lose the arm
>>729439346last I knew, as of 2025, they hadn't made any major progress on a prototype these past few years, and UE has been giving them trouble because A. none of the Kenshi developers used it before and B. the featureset is not well-suited for an open-world game like Kenshi
>>729435584skelegawds will inherit the earth
>>729438892Yeah, I was just about to reply about this.I'd say it's a painfully gimped version of mount and blade, with a massive ton LESS features, but with the novelty of always being on the world map. Being charitable, it's nice that a guy and his sister made it, even if they're pro trans or faggots or whatever, I don't care about that - but it's doesn't change it's shit.And the brief, low quality and very brief replies claiming it's good, or to download mods - they're not honest reviewers or they'd write a lot more than that to tell you about the game they supposedly enjoyed so much. There's always been people like this on /v/, so I assume they're either kids or retards.
I never hire beep
>>729406635>There are thousands of mods that improve the game significantly.No there aren't you fucking faggot. Kenshi and Rimworld both suffer from the same weird curse where people constantly espouse how much better mods make them, but neither game has any mod that actually makes a real fucking difference and no one can actually name a single mod with any substance. It's absolutely maddening, and I have to assume it's cumbrained retards parroting this shit due to porn mods. This is not like TES were mods are significantly changing the game. No mod is doing anything worth talking about. Sure, Kaizo makes the game an 8.1/10 instead of an 8/10. Wow, great. Is kaizo worth installing? Sure. Is it worth mentioning that you should mod Kenshi in every fucking Kenshi thread? Fuck no. I'm so god damned fucking tired of people acting like mods matter in Kenshi or Rimworld. Go and fap to Nier's robot ladies. You don't need big tit skeletons in Kenshi. I have never seen a mod that looks relevant recommended for either game despite some faggot like you making this same fucking comment in every Kenshi or Rimworld thread. I'm losing my fucking mind. I'm so sick of you. Is it you every time? It has to be. There is no way there are dozens of people out there circlejerking over modding scenes that are this irrelevant. I don't wish any real harm upon you anon, but I mean this with all sincerity: I hope you bang your knee on something before you go to celebrate New Years Eve and that it ruins the night for you. I want you to have a bad holiday season because I'm tired of reading your shit. >>729405564Nah it's pretty good anon
>>729405564what are the must have mods for this game?
>>729406272>>729406646Keshi's engine is a piece of shit.The devs literally made a poll whether they should port Kenshi into a different engine and develop it further, or rather just work on Kenshi 2 in a new engine instead, and people overwhelmingly supported the second option.
>>729405564it's like rimworld from wish
>>729444261Genuinely how?
>>729410602N Game?
>>729444261I want to know how as well. Come back and elaborate.

>>729449935There's a town in Stormgap Coast on the border of that zone. It's a pretty comfy area cause you can see the lasers go off from the cliffs
Game is good but WAY too much of a wait fest timesink if you aren't willing to exploit. Shops take for fucking EVER to refresh so even if you're sitting on piles of $$ to outfit your troops with good shit takes forever when vendors restock only 1 (and sometimes none) of a specific masterwork armor, have to reimport the save file over and over just to refresh shop inventories. Just fucking time sink for no reason other than to be a time sink
>>729449935You angered god
>>729450021I don't know, why didn't the meat just toe the line and listen?
>>729405564A shit game like no others + the dev fuck his sister
>>729405564the biggest, emptiest sandbox of all time. Outside of base building, there's nothing to do. barely anything resembling quests, basically no story dialogue or lore. Difficulty is hilarious, you start off unable to take on even a pack of goats but a base with level 2 walls and simple turrets is basically impenetrable. Absolutely grindy as shit, good luck accomplishing anything without putting dozens of hours into grinding the necessary skills. Grinding money is the worst because your two options at the start are mining, which nets you barely anything and is slow, or stealing which nets you a decent bit more at the risk of getting killed or thrown in jail which also then takes time. You could save scum but at that point you might as well open the console and just give yourself the money. It's like single player runescape but with no quests. It's just endless tedious grind, I do not reccomend.
>>729438978It's going to be a prequel I believe. So you'll get to see how things were as it was going to hell, not after. IIRC the dev said the game wasn't post apocalyptic, it's just kinda worn down over the ages.I like to think what happens in the future is up to your character rather than seeing what comes next via another game.
>>729449935Orbital lasers from the First Empire that were used in its defense. One is in the sky and the other is still chugging away on the ground in the Great Desert. You can infer from these two points that their power sources are extremely advanced like the skellies themselves to be still working some 10k years after the fall. All of the scattered metal that you find rusting away in the Bonelands to the south are pieces of a space elevator that blew apart and crashed into the moon.
>beep autistically screeching after any combat win>party is noticeably worried
Ahem.FUCK HOLY NATION
>>729433213It's doable but they have to not be fucking retarded. Kenshi 2 will probably be bad like you said because the devs are libtarded bongs. If they can sublimate that and just be edgy-based and have a competent 4x gameplay loop, the game will be a 9/10.
>>729409692>>729409747As someone who's had skin in the game for a while and 1.6k hours, Kenshi 2 will probably be woke trash but there's a chance autism wins out only because it's such an autistic type of game.
>>729408914They're just health bars for your various limbs. It's not that complicated.
>>729410602It really is crazy how as a planet we now have a hundred years of going "Wow, NEVER let women have rights. No wonder it was that way for 100,000 thousand years."
>>729451745I don't disagree with any of that, but I still liked the game. Watching number go up and adventuring in alien landscapes scratched and itch I have. Comparison to single player Runescape is pretty spot on.
>>729406723>hating the holy nationit's literally the best faction. heavy armor, big ass swords, safe territory, great places to build, purging clankers and supressing xeno scum
>>729454202>Walk into town to do some trading>autistic armor fags screeching because I have a robot with me>auto attackYeah nah fuck them. Either be chill or get the grill. I wipe them all out the moment I enter a town that has them
>skin banditsok but why
>>729446042>>729448726you know about wish.com right? well, kenshi is like rimworld but from there.
Name my band

>>729454797>not being a NAMELESS_0 chadngmi
>>729454725>everyone in heavy armor>everyone using falling sunsFor every person that whines about how "hard" Kenshi is I'm quickly reminded that as long as you know where to get gear and put in a modicum of effort in training toughness you can pretty much skullfuck anyone by just mogging them with big dick heavy chads
>>729455012Only if you have enough strength to effectively swing those Fallen Suns.
>>729454725>those limbsCyber Chung
>>729455096nta but you get that by just playing the game. Unless you're being 100% retarded and chasing after Cat Lon with 10 strength or something you'll naturally level STR (and heavy weapons skill) but just picking fights with bandits and lower level mooks as you travel and gain $$ looting places. I've never specifically went out my way to train strength or dex. I just swapped between plank and katana to level each stat by just playing and exploring and once both stats were around 50 swapped to falling suns
>>729455286>it just naturally happensSo are you going to tell them about the STR rule or am I?
>>729455389go aheadbecause Idk what rule you're referring to
>>729455447STR at half the weight of the weapon being swung. It's the only reason why anything below Edge/Meitou is worthwhile.
>>729455515oh that, yeah
>>729454202Despite being zealots who are a pain to deal with as we all at some point going to accidently walked into their turf with a skeleton or with no male greenlander among the groupThey are the best faction and their region is very nice as I like green than sand, sand and sometimes rocky sand
>>729456217>>729456154>>729456101Thank you for these. Kenshi doesn't get enough location art.
This game has the worst vidya titties in a game
>>729455286>not giving your guys katanas only with heavy armor, generator cores, and carrying bodiesngmi
>use katana>swing so often the katana,dex, offense, defence stats skyrocket>use heavy weapon>get dicked unless you spend you first 5hrs with an inv full of iron and carrying a body
>>729453245Ah, an another autist getting groomed by getting lovebombed by trannies, may such cases.
>>729406272>>729406646>Kenshi should be a live service gamekill yourselves
Kenshi is one of the best games ever made. And yes, some people don't like it. No game is universal.
>>729457976Can't aura farm with a katana though.
>>729457976Blocking with a heavy weapon is the fastest way to train strength actually.
do blunt weapons have some inherent debuff? theyre the one weapon type i can't get to work, as if the characters don't even want to swing them and just block
>>729458267Keep defending such practice and enjoy your unfinished games.I learned my lesson and will not give them any money until it's 1.0 and a finished game.
>>729458810Blunt weapons have lower weight compared to their blunt damage, and the strength requirement is calculated from blunt damage which makes it misleading. You need more strength than it seems for blunt weapons, I believe is 40x the blunt damage.
>>729459057Actually the blunt weapons weight may be right, its the Staff the one that is misleading.
>>729406254although you are 100% right, you can't really expect a lot from a 1-man developer cycle, especially when that man wasn't even a experienced dev to begin with.Best way to describe Kenshi is ocean-wide with a feet-deep. Lots of shit to see, but nothing has any depth.
>>729459362the madman also built it on OGRE engine
>don't you ever bullshit us pal
>>729410223On a simmilar topic what are wacky base locations that are viable only if your party is full skeletons? Are there good islands in acid seas?Also I had a base once in Crater. It was amazing. Resources were only iron, but any raids were intercepted by beak things. Those critters are natures blessing
>>729458810Too much extra defense imoPersonally I had great success as a colony of dwarves on the stobe/venge water border selling iron plates to brink or raiding ancient spiders
>>729459525If I did nothing but skeletons I'd probably settle in Venge due to the sky lasers that basically nobody but robots resist. Even Hivers can't ignore that like they can with acid.
>>729458810if you have both low dex and arent meeting the strength requirement, your attack speed will suffer and you will be unable to attack especially against multiple enemies
>>729456101>no male greenlander I swear they don't actually care about greenlanders vs scorchlanders?
>>729405564Praise be to the Holy Lord Phoenix (blessed be his name)
>>729437196gotta train that toughness somehow
>>729461201
>>729405564It's bad. Do not bother. Imagine the first 25% of Mount and Blade but no world simulation, no victory condition, just meaningless jank you cheese until you're infinitely strong, infinitely rich, fighting mindless AI enemies for no reason
Unctown
Fuck I wanna play Kenshi again but I haven't played in so long I'm better off starting a new charactrer
damn, I should play this againany mods that fix performance and not want to make me kill myself?
>>729464246there's particle system override on nexus that vastly improves particle performance, it's on the nexus.
Lowkey chopped
>>729461741so, all of mount and blade
