this is one of vidya's greatest technical achievemnts.
runs well, plays great, makes spergs seetheoverall it's greatespecially the costume design for npcs
>>738327056I'll only buy it on sale
I don't see how. Open world crap has been around for many years. And giving it decent optimisation is not some "great achievement" but the bare minimum people should expect.
Post indoor scenes without ai slops
>>738328579>but the bare minimum people should expect.sure, but hasn't been true for years
>>738328632
shame all the npc's all say the same 5 lines.
>>738327056No it isn't. It's thoroughly unimpressive garbage through and through.
>>738328632it's been fixed for weeks
>>738328632?
>>738328632asdf
>>738327056Its pretty much what you'd expect from a single game from an mmo studio. A lot of filler content, incoherent story, but a huge and detailed world with a shit ton to do. Hopefully more MMO studios try this, like I'd love to see a ZOS single player elder scrolls game like this.
>>738329173>>738329410>>738329497Looks okayishnot mention art direction is pretty meh in this
>>738327056It's just sooooo boring. The only people who enjoy it are no life losers who are actively searching for a gigantic time sink so they don't realize how shitty their lives are.
I'm not playing this game but it keeps reminding me how Capcom fumbled DD2 so hard. Itsuno failed and got fired.
>>738327056>vidya's greatest technical achievemnts.jej
>>738329584No point in playing an RPG without a fucking story you stipid nigger
>>738329584>detailed worldYou were basically right, until you said this. It's the most copypasted and soulless game world I've ever seen. Worse than any Ubislop, by far. It's shit.
>>738329697people are dying to play a good non souls like RPG Avowed was AA slopKCD2 was realism retardation with bad combatDA:V was... DD2 could've been massive
>>738328632you: the raped
>>738329410Why are the stairs so dark?
>>738327056Not playing until Syntheric Man's review is out.
>>738329820nah
>>738329848because the area isn't lit? the sun is straight overhead, as seen on the angle of the lighting from the window. the lower level doesn't get as much bounced lighting as the rest of the scene
>>738329497Literally under lit like an horror game.
>>738329848Cause it looks kino
>>738329830Wut?looks like cheap UE slop
>>738327056Are there player model mods yet?
delicious seethe in this thread already lmao
>>738327056I think I'll skip it... I only saw a few minutes of gameplay, but I'm sick of open world slop.
>>738327056>going through tutorial>following NPC, says the view from the bridge is great>it actually isI am shocked it looks as good as it does for how far the draw distance is. More people need to use whatever engine this is, I don't think it's UE5
>>738329994Have you seen what it's like outside of basement once?
>>738330005why do you want LED indoor lighting in medieval fantasy ?
>>738327056Maybe on planet retard
>>738330156>outside of basementhave you ever traveled outside of New Dehli once?
>>738330224Post elden ring and tell me that's LED fantasy.
I keep seeing people bitch about the supposed lack of story, but I'm still waiting for the big story blue ball to take place. I'm on chapter 7 or 8, and we're trying to take back Pailune, and there are people kidnapping the white witch, and the extra dimensional wizard sent me to save her. What standard is this story being held to? Are people just mad that Kliff doesnt have as much depth as Geralt or a R* protagonist? Seems like it's got plenty enough story to me. Is this one of those things where journos played the intro to the game, made a dumb uninformed statement, and uninformed retards parrot it without actually playing the game?
>>738330358wtf are you talking about? Elden Ring has plenty of moody areas you need a torch in
>>738330127I've heard they actually rediscovered and implemented a lost shader technique used in some games from the early 2000s. Apparently today's modern DEI hires and outsourced Indian labor don't know how to replicate it.
>>738330403the hate isn't organic, 95% of the people shitting on it are paid to the story has really good structure for the type of game it is, it's not something that's pulling me along simply for the narrative alone but it sets a good framework for the world and gives you purposethe start feels very disjointed but that's about it
>>738330498Still brighter than CD's populated rooms in daylight for some reason.
>>738330127It is their own engine, kept together with hopes, prayers, and an absurd amount of early 00s techniques no one remembers how to use nowadays because they are no longer "needed" (until CD proved they are).
>>738330869what's your point?look at this scene, not only is it "under lit", the spooky cave is straight out of a horror game too
>>738327056This game is so fucking obviously astroturfed it is not even funny.
220 hours in, just started chapter 9lots of spergs seething in this thread
The game is boring. All the hordes of bandits can be dealt with by simply holding RTBosses are insanely easy and can be repeatedly stun locked. Devs had to make them teleport / go invisible to create any semblance of challenge at allAll the weapons/amor/accessories have the same statsAll the shops sell the same crapAll the npcs have the same model and have no unique dialogThe world looks cool but its empty and not worth exploringPuzzles are generic and boringThe movement is frustrating to say the least. I can literally set my controller down and pick up my phone and my character will still be finishing up his walk animation.Lots of 2-button input reads dont work correctly. Can't tell you how many times I've shot my bow trying to switch weapons or jumped randomly trying to talk to someone.It's just not a good game. It's not fun or satisfying to play in any way. Just a boring, easy, slop filled, time sink. People have sunk hundreds of hours into it though so they'll freak out if you bring any of this up.
>>738331494>it's obvious because... IT JUST IS, M'KAY!?very convincing reall,y what's the issue? we have like, on thread every 1-3 days, a game played by 100k people every dayjust click your bing bing-wahoo thread and try not to cry over your sour grapes
>>738332535they mentioned a switch 2 port, don't kill yourself out of envy just yet nintendotard
>>738332104I'm 166 hours in, did the first mission in chapter 5I really should go up to the abyss again and check out the puzzles
>>738332690I think you just revealed a little too much about how your mind works.
>>738330403It's not that the writing is weak, it's that the reasoning for the missions is initially fucking terrible.>give beggar money to prove you're a nice guy>now climb down the sewer and rescue bitch to again prove you're a nice guy>now go pick up a cat for some girl>clean chimney for random guy to get clothes>the key you got from beggar opens a random door in the castleKliffs actions make no sense. Why is he bothering with all that menial shit instead of searching for other Greymen? Doubly so in Ch2 which revolves entirely around discovering that a jew is being jewish
>>738333061thanks, I think I'll be alright though. At least I'm not seething and coping in threads for games I dislike
I mean it's greatest achievement is reheating the same open world slop formula and getting people to act like it's something revolutionary
>>738333290Stop asking questions Go to the next objective That's the open world way
>>738327056>Crimson Slop shill thread #69420
>>738333353I find it embarassing for you that you feel personally offended that someone critiqued a game you like. Are you insecure about your tastes or something?
>>738332554>proves me right
>>738333290the starting hour is disjointed for sure, but I'd imagine Kliff would be a bit curious of those strange happenings after just having been resurrected. The main issue is that you're told to be a good samaritan, but then as soon as your get to town these seemingly random deeds present themselves to you in a quick pace as main quest objectives. It isn't clearly show how Kliff knows "what to do" next, so it feels very videogamey and disjointed. The main questline could have been Kliff was asking around town for the Greymanes, while opportunities for being good and humanitarian could have been implemented more naturally. The issue for the dev would be that the player could have skipped them easily, so a natural interaction would still have to be implemented or guided towards in the main quest. Once you get back to the ground from the abyss again things start to make more sense imo
>>738333804>critiqued a game>"The game is boring"wow, what nuanced critique everything you wrote were lies and you'll never substantiate your claimsthis is your last (You)
I am still waiting for someone to postNon humanoid combat
>>738334032No criticism is valid according to crimson retards
>>738328632One of the best interior lightings I've seen in an open world game."
>>738333904The main offender to me is the fucking key. All they had to do was establish from the start that it leads to the castle. Just have the beggar say "use this key on the missing guy's door".Now if you weren't a soulless mmo dev you would've made the challenge of getting into the castle open ended. Let the player buy the clothing, do the chimney quest or hey, just climb the wall.The weirdest shit is that they actually do that with the mental asylum later on. That mission is actually open ended and offers you multiple methods for getting in.
>>738334218now show the framerate
Haven't seen western kike golems seethe at a game this much since Bloodborne.
>>738334032Generic combat that presents no challenge is boring, yes. Bosses and NPCs all using the same size generic humanoid model is boring, yes. What was your point again? Oh right. The game being shitty makes you feel sad or something?
>>738329818the majority of Skyrim playthroughs ignore the story entirely. I olayed Oblivion for a hundred hours and never even delivered the amulet. Fuck your story, retard.
>>738333904My head canon here is Kliff maintains some level of autonomy throughout the game. That's why he's still walking when you put the controller down, or jumping when youre trying to interact with someone. That's why none of the missions ever justify themselves and the objective often spoils what is about to happen. That's why Kliff is attacking in random directions when you're clearly trying to push him somewhere else. It's because Kliff is a real life person who is trying his best to reject our attempts to control him.
>>738334615What difference would that make?
Is character creation mod out?I want to be a woman in the game
>>738336454Not even a 5090 can run RR at native 4k
Is it like kcd but with no niggers and no kike agenda?
>>738336794You don't need to play at native 4K for your game to look good.
>>738332784>really should go up to the abyss againDefinitely.
>>738334068
>>738337031Yeah man, just run the game at half the resolution to even reach 60fps on the world's best graphics card.
>>738336963Not at all. The story isn't the real focus and there's more black people in the game than KCD2. They're just super rare.
The entire game just looks like procedurally generated forest assets. It's what UE5 should run at but that engine is such a fuck up this is what's considered good these days I guess.
>>738336963No. It's just a shitty gook knockoff of nu-Assassin's Creed
>>738328579It's a masterclass in optimization. It's using software raytracing thst can run on old cards. There are concessioms with the resolution of the ray tracing but it looks good enough and newer cards can run it at max lighting and denoisers. It does most of its geometry at the shader level using parallax occlusion, uses smaller textures to make big ones like legos, has highly optimized 3d models, etc.
>>738330403Story isn't just the overarching storyline. It's everything including the writing. All the dialogue in this game is MMO text that you would normally skip but they decided to animate everything. Big shortage of good writers and not animators in SK I guess.
>>738337290I just fought wolves for the first time, i like how they stalk around you and attack from behind. Currently getting destroyed by the black wolf, what a bitch it is. Hard mode spikes when you encounter new enemies or try to figure out bosses.
>>738338936The wolf and most bosses (during phase 1) are highly vulnerable to staggers. Forward step thrust or force palm breaks their poise and lets you combo them. Normal into thrust can reset the combo sometimes.
>>738339057vulnerable to skills that break guard* All of the Antumbras go down to a well timed forward step thrust
>>738327056Will get sent straight back to 2018 by GTA6 and its greatness. Sorry bro
>>738338450Its pretty insane that they animated so much of the dialogue, even for side quests.Its better than MMO tier writing though, it builds slowly which works well for the size of the game but the quests and tasks feel relevant to the camp merc life you are made to live out. I wish there was more of a rpg angle and more dialogue, the small tidbits in the knowledge tab helps but I want more
it only looks bad indoors If you activate ray reconstruction.
>>738334068You fight an army of mechanized clockwork bugs (ants, beatles, praying mantis, backed by airships) when you get to the Dyelsia or whatever that southeast continent is. Then you get a mech to fight them.
>>738336963You are comparing apple to oranges In the spectrum of open world gamesKCD is closer to morrowind and rdr2 than this game to KCD This game is like shadow of war made by gooks
>>738336963You know how combat sucks ass in kcd? Well it doesn't suck in CD. And the money merchants in CD are literal hook nosed goblins.
>>738329670hey buddy - i realize perfectly well how shitty it is - i am just avoiding people, alright
If we are talking about interior and stuffI would have have discussion about games that do certain aspects really well, I am open to suggestions Best interiors: Dishonored 2, AC unityBest landscapes: Death standing, KCD 2, rdr2, elden Ring Best architecture and costume designs: Tw3 Best art direction: morrowind, ER, skeiro
>>738336963NoOne is immersive, historical, fps rpgOther one is an action adventure game
>>738332535You forgot to mention how the story is the worst piece of shit ever
>>738339965What do you mean? CD isn't historical at all.
>>738340534Because you read the history written by the jewsKoreans are aware of real history
>>738327056It's too gamey is the problem. You're expected to disregard the story and characters in favor of the gameplay in a world where people play games for gripping cinematics and character dialogue.
