GAME'S JOURNALISTS ARE SAYING IT'S GOTY/v/ LOST YET AGAIN HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
>>746576476Reviews from outlets mean literally nothing, I'll wait for user reviews.
>>746576476Thanks paid shills for weighing in
>>746576523Oof
Aren't you tired with that 24/7 negativity? Can't you guys just enjoy the game?
looks like a game that came out in 2012
>Reactivity is too low for a vampire RPG.>still gives it a 9.5Wonder what this really means. I presume they want more vampire-driven choices?
>>746576759This thread reminded me of all those good scores starfield got
OH NO NO NO NOGAMERANT IS HERE TO FUCK IT UP
>>746576476It's ass
>>746576759>
>>746576759No because it's not out. And expecting a game to be shit is no different to expecting a game to be good, both are stances you build on available information and both are fine.
>>746576830Vampirebros... It's fucking ogre...
>>746576759this.listen to game's journalists and just shut the fuck up.
I dont know what everyone was expecting from an "open world AAA" game made by like 30 people
the kind of game you only get on PC, fuck consoles they can keep GTA VI, the true GOTY contender is here, gonna have a blast with this one
>>746576830>>746576893DELETE THIS!

>>746576929>By May 2024, Rebel Wolves had expanded from around 20 to 90 team members.[24] As of April 2026, Rebel Wolves had 160 employees (including administration).From the game's wikipedia page
>The 30-day in-game timer must be respected, and if you wish to achieve a proper ending to the game, you must complete it within this temporal framework. Time does not flow in, well, real time, but is instead divided into slots — eight for the day and eight for the night, or 16 total for each in-game day.>This opens the game up to tremendous replayability: you won’t be able to complete all quests in time, nor will you have the chance to unlock every ability and passive in time, nor can you clear all side content and have enough time to spare. Quests also unfold differently if you spend too many slots while having them in your journal, meaning some things must be completed as soon as possible to avoid possibly dire consequences.>Furthermore, some things can only be done at night and some during the day, meaning the game state is drastically altered depending on the time of day. I loved how this mechanic constantly kept shifting my gameplay around, from methodical and slow to chaotic and brutal. It was constantly fresh, and since I balanced out how long I spent in each, I was always excited to become a human or a vrakhir again.
>>746576569Never ever listen to /v/tards
>>746576929Its more that people should temper their expectations for the budget Bamco would allocate for them
Mortismal Gaming said he was able to do almost everything in the game within the time limit by just not putting much stuff into the skill tree
>>746577369This is how I thought it would be, people playing underpowered because leveling up taking up time
Reviews are pointless since all games get a score of either 7, 8, 9 or 10. I usually decide on whether to buy a game by watching streamers play it. It gives a more clear view over an arbitrary score.
>>746577369That sounds incredibly annoying
>>746576830Well, yeah - it's basically just Witcher 3 again.The same criticism should apply to the new DLC as well, though.
>>746577369>>746577407>>746577463Its exactly as I predicted months ago. Playing on easy mode is the best way to play the game as you can ignore all the skill tree and loot shit and just spend all your time slots on quests
>>746577525Cool. I'll play on the hardest mode and do a good amount of skill upgrading :)Enjoy being a pussy, Elder Scrolls sounds more like your speed
>>746576893>generic TW3/bamham combat good>actual RPG choices badWhat the fuck am I reading?
>>746577463I will wait for the inevitable mod.
>>746577669>TW3/bamhamWhat the fuck do those two games combat systems have in common?
>>746576476Yeah I’m actually hyped unironically
>>746577664Quests are more important than pointless shit like loot and skill trees
AI slop game
>>746577796If you only do quests on hard mode, then you're based.If you go to easy mode for more content, you're a pussy robbing yourself of the joy of the game.
Mortismal Gaming said the skill tree needing time sucks and he had 60 unspent skill points due to how shit it is
>>746576476Cool, im looking forward to it
>>746576476That tells me absolutely nothing about the quality of the game
>>746576842Kek this is embarrassing
>>746576476looks like temu witcher 3 to me. i doubt its' that good
Looks like the Japanese and Onimusha is winning this week Polish brothers.
>>746576476the IGN 9/10 in question
>>746576569Why would I care what journos think
>>746576476AWOOOOOO
Gaming "journalists" giving anything glowing reviews is usually a bad sign
>>746578881a new legend is born. I'm glad the modern day teaser won't be wasted.
>>746576476/v/ btfo kek
>>746576476>No matter how many innocent NPCs you suck dry, Coen will always revert to being a relatively good guy during dialogueOh no no no no no
>>746576476>Let's start with the open world, which is lovely to look at, but annoyingly empty. There's just nothing of interest going on between locations, and so it's no wonder that you can unlock traversal abilities to cover ground faster. Dawnwalker's action is beyond repetitive. The game's direction-based system works well in concept, as Coen can attack or defend from different angles to open his opponents up — think Kingdom Come: Deliverance and you're on the right track — but said system simply never evolves.Once you've got the timing down, and you've learned to read your foe's intentions — which isn't difficult, considering the severe lack of enemy types — you'll be going through the exact same motions for the next 35 hours. Admittedly, it was quite funny to see the last boss die in just three sword swings, but come on — there needs to be a better balance at play here. As it stands, you spend tens of hours hitting foes with what feels like a wet noodle, only to become grossly overpowered for the last five percent of the game.OH NO NONO NONONONO
>>746579383Did they expected him to become an NFT salesman or something?
>>746579709post link to this review
>>746577008>Mortshillsmal, the guy who liked veilguard
>>746579792Pushsquare
>>746577008It's a classic case of devs being too afraid properly commit to a timer. We saw the same outrage about Pathfinder: Kingmaker's timer which amounted to very little unless you were retarded.
>>746577959>he had 60 unspent skill pointsLmao who thought this was a good idea?The modern gamer is conditioned to unlock and level up as many skills as possible.
>>746579709>There's just nothing of interest going on between locationsGood
>>746579974Its just a matter of finding the optimal way to play it. If i didnt know before hand that you're supposed to rush the main quest the moment its available, id probably be fucked too on my first playthrough
Wait why do the chuds want this game to fail? I thought they would be happy at the prospect of a well-received medieval fantasy game that actually has Europeans in it instead of the demographics of modern London.
>>746577664Ok polack shill :) xD
>>746580171>Wait why do the chuds want this game to fail?The better question would be why are you making up fake scenarios in your head to get mad at?
>>746580171Contrarians and retards who are eternally butthurt about cdpr even if by proxy
any performance reviews
>>746576476>appeasing woke rightthe combat is automatically -3 points
>>746580171Chuds define their entire personality around contrarianism
>>746577747Magnetized mashing and telegraphed counters
>>746579940thanks
I'm surprised the time mechanic seems mostly well received
>>746580353Its UE5, you can figure out the rest yourself
>>746579870Was that him? I always get him mixed up with Fextralife for some reason.
>>746576759eurojank never been good
>>746580624I too remember my time in planet Opposite fondly
>>746580171i was actually really excited for it until i learned about the time limitruined the entire game for me such a stupid fucking idea
Looks like the right move here is waiting 6 months for a discount and either a patch or a mod that removes the time mechanic Save money and get a better game
>>746580624It sounds like the time limit stuff was a bit overstated. Review I saw said you can do all quests if you just skip treasure hunts and generic camp clearing
>>746580624This, i love not spending any skill points and not getting any new abilities in an RPG because it would advance a magical clock that locks me out of quests.
>>746582623>NOOOOOOO JUST LET ME DO EVERYTHING IN ONE PLAYTHROUGH, I DEMAND IT REEEEEEEEEEEEFiltered
>>746582623It's also great to have such nuanced choices as spending 1 hour of in-game time to loot a chest, it truly encourages exploration
>>746582683Agreed, when i get access to a new ability in an RPG i want to not use, it i want it to sit there in my character screen because that's what an RPG is about. That huge skill tree you see but not use? All those skill points sitting there unassigned? Choices, that's what an RPG is about.
>>746576759
>>746578820Since it's illegal (according to actual international law) for IGN to give less than a 7/10 for a game by a major western publisher, he might actually be honest.
>>746582683>consequences are so important >No matter how many innocent NPCs you suck dry, Coen will always revert to being a relatively good guy during dialogueExcept for those, I guess.
>>746583206I wish more devs had the balls to make a character like Kain from Legacy of Kain. But no, it's always a good guy who just happens to sometimes do bad things but it never changes anything about his goodly personality
>>746576912Mixtape was a retard test. If you get mad a product thats not made for you is seen as something good by people it was made for, you are in fact a retard and should shut the fuck up about anything in life
What are the reviews saying about the time limit mechanic?
>>746584717virtually everything requires time, not just major events however you still have enough time to do pretty much everything
>>746584608>this was just an honest review from people who just happen to honestly like different thingsYou are the retard. There is no test necessary, the guy cleaning the windows at the testing centers would be able to tell you that before you're even through the door.
I like there are no browns ingame.
>>746582683Name 1 thing wrong with wanting to extract and consume the maximum amount of narrative content out of a game
>>746584717Extremely annoying.1/3 of your skill tree stops working at night, another 1/3 stops working during the day. Advance time a bit and now suddenly it's day and all the points you put into vampirism stop working including the ones required to gain access to specific locations.Worst part is that learning abilities costs time for some ungodly reason so you end up running around with unassigned skill points.
>>746585354We got a Skyrim baby here
>Tendies upsetIt's a game about scary vampires, violence and shit. It's not even for you.I'll give it a shot though since I pirated Crimson Desert and found out it was a hilarious piece of trash. Hopefully this "M-rated open world rpg" is better
>>746585185You're treating it like a checklist and not an RPG with branching paths and choices. You literally cannot see all narrative outcomes in a game with mutually exclusive paths.
>>746585354>ungodly reason so you end up running around with unassigned skill points.the reviewers literally wrote that it wasn't neededyou can assign points and do most if not all the content in the game
>>746585536If the time mechanic isn't needed why is it there and why is it integrated into everything you do?
>>746577369It's baffling to me that they decided to tie the skill tree to time advancing. Whoever thought that up should get their fucking head checked
>>746585591Probably marketing reasons to make it sound more "hardcore rpg for real gamers with real choices and consequences" nonsense
>>746585591Not him but apparently the story keeps going even if you're a faggot failure. That's kinda cool.So just don't fuck up? It's a modern mainstream video game 2026 that IGN loves 9/10, how hard can it be to not fail your family?
>>746585458yet you're the one that will replay the game multiple times to fill all the checklists and make choices you wouldn't make just so you can get that one quest you didn't get last time and check it out of the list lolhypocrite without actual convictions
>>746580171Yeah, you should just drop all your standards as long as it's another generic European setting with average-looking people who aren't arbitrarily brown for once. How low is your bar?
>>746585098This
I have no reason to give a shit about saving a random commoner family
>>746585591it's because the devs are high on their own farts and don't care about their audience, which is why they deserve to go bankrupt
>>746585536>the reviewers literally wrote that it wasn't neededthen why is it in the game, if it's not needed?
>>746580624In other news, 2+2=5
>>746585764Incorrect. I do quests that seem interesting or attempt solving quests in different ways I think of. I never try to see every outcome. You're a retard and have no point. Lol
>>746585848>Yeah, you should just drop all your standards as long as it's another generic European setting with average-looking people who aren't arbitrarily brown for onceThis, but unironically
>>746577889this desu
>>746586235>'nooo I dont want the bad ending' faggots triggeredGood. You people already ruined all discussion of Dishonored
>>746586731nice reddit spacing shill, I see you guys got a new talking point before the release day
>>746586396Because every game needs some kind of friction and pushback. Persona and MM did it right, so a fun game with time limits is possible.
>>746586857>Because every game needs some kind of friction and pushback.And surprisingly no other game needs to arbitrarily lock player out of content to achieve said friction and pushback... really activates your almonds...
>>746576476I was expecting pure eurojank that critics would hate, but it's nice to hear that it's actually good. Vampyr and VTMB2 sucked so I'll take what I can get.
>>746586856Reddit spacing is two spaces retard
>>746586997ugh you ruined Dishonored discussions shill just go back to r/gaming already
>>746586918Were you also mad when w2 locked 1/4 of the game because you had to make a choice? What games do you mouthbreathers even play, honest question
>This game is over 100 hours long! And that's just one playthrough!!eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh, just tell me if it's good or not, anons. I don't have time this kinda shit
>>746587189>implying choices in w2 even mattered>implying you get locked out of content in w2 when you advance any skill
>>746576830>10 years too latebasically witcher 3?
>>746587253Nobody will tell you this BECAUSE THE GAME ISN'T OUT YET.Read a review or some shit.
>>746587324>it doesnt count because i said so
>>746586918So, replay the game and make different choices then? Dawnwalker seems to take hints from the New Vegas school of RPG design rather than the Skyrim school of "you can do anything, anywhere, at anytime".
>>746587253How the fuck could anyone here know?Its not out
>>746579143if the game flops sale wise gonna be wasted this month there are lot of shit games due to no one wanting to be in november
>>746586857Mentioning Persona is certainly a weird choice since it basically proves why this game sucks. In Persona if you manage your time well you are absolutely capable of seeing all the content you want to see and it never imposes any kind of restriction on you for doing things.
>>746576759If you want to enjoy video games you came to the wrong place
>>746588748yup imagine wasting time fusing personas KEK that is temu witcher 3 with retarded autistic polacks not tard wrangled
>>746576476i really dislike time sensitive shit in rpgs.
>>746576759shut up and show me your tits elizabeth olsen .jpg
>>746585185>EXTRACT AND CONSUMEYikes!Nobody's stopping you from doing another playthrough lil bro.
>>746576842I'm sill mad, and I've only got myself to blame.
>>746585405no vampire rpg does that , its retarded shit, just debuffs if you use vampiric magic daylight
>>746584608The people it was "made for" didn't seem to like it either. It seemed like an objectively shit game that would only be saved by its story and writing appealing directly to you, but then it would only compensate for shit gameplay rather than fix it.
>>746577172>16 hour days>30 days totalSo, how long are these ingame hours? Because I'm pretty sure it's not going to be a 480h playthrough.
>>746585650i think its the same retard polski that put gun stamina in cyberpunk 2.0
Not sure if i should get this or Onimusha first
>>746589821onimusha this shit gonna need lot of patches and an anime spinoff like cybershit to be "enjoyable"
>>746589760Anon are you genuinely retarded? Please learn to read.
>>746589821This seems more buggy
>>746576523>it's fine when zelda does it
>>746589821Both seem like massive work in progress games so I'm waiting to play both.
>>746589128No. The point is to extract and consume as fast as possible so I can move on to the next thing like Onimusha and then Wolverine and then Silent Hill
Is it not a bit weird and problematic that the milf witch flirts with Coen when he is like 20 years younger than her?
>>746590396its problematic if the witch its an ugly male to be called to human resources
>>746576759I don't have 24/7 negativity. There are 1-3 handfuls of games I'm excited for. This just looks like pajeet-tier garbage. There are indie gems and indie jank. This looks janky and unpolished as fuck
>>746590196calm down, kumar
>>746583025Unironically the best DA
>>746590690>1-3The fact that it's such a low number and yet you can't actually narrow it down more than that tells me that's complete horse shit and you're making shit up and are not excited for anything. Like who the fuck doesn't know whether it's 1 or more than 1? Come on nigger at least put some effort in.
>>746588748The Persona calendar system fucking sucks, even in 3 when it made sense thematically. It's one of the worst timers in games and needing to either follow a guide ir replay a linear game thats 97% the same and takes 60+ hours to see additional content not part of branching paths sucks.
>>746585650Learning things takes time it's called immersion>>746587253It's good trust me
>>746592016This. P5R and Metaphor are the only 2 good games they've done with that cullender system because both games make it insanely easy to do everything in one playthrough without needing a guide or NG+.
>>746576821>mfw the biggest gaming portal in our country gave starfield a 10/10
>>746577172>The game’s 30-day time limit fails on two fronts: it discourages organic exploration early on, yet ultimately lacks real stakes since players are given far more time than necessary. Exploring Vale Sangora reveals a striking but empty map padded with generic tasks and hindered by incredibly sluggish traversal.OHNONONONONONONONONO
>>746587324>implying choices in w2 even matteredYou don't think which camp you get to in act 2 matters?
>>746576476Don't care. I'm waiting for the SkillUp verdict before I decide if the game is good or not.
>>746593470Skill up recommended mixtape
>>746576476So who will you romance?
>>746594705the milf
>game actually runs on the steam deckhuh, that's quite a surprise. Might actually get it for this alone.
>>746594705Middle because mascara makes my dick hard
>>746576853You can be neutral, you massive piece of annoying shit.
>>746595393Yeah but I'm not and chances are you're not either
>>746594705vampire sex
I want a vampire wife and vampire daughter so that we can be a vampire family.
>>746576476onimusha - gooddawnwalker - goodcontrol - ?man this month is stacked
>>746576476Holy fuck they actually pulled it off.
>>746596378me too but the vampdaughter can also be vampwife.
>>746579974You've got any example where they committed and people actually liked it? I can't remember a single instance where people would praise timers.
>>746590114>cybershityou come up with that on your own?
>>746579974Fallout too>>746596838I like it in dead rising and the pathologic games. But I think what helps is that the time loop is much shorter and the games are meant to be replayed easily, with a 50+ hour RPG it's harder to accept a timer because people will be worried about miscalculating and being softlocked after dozens of hours
>>746580353I've got one but it's in polish so you'd have to translate it, but in short, it sucks. https://cdaction.pl/technologie/the-blood-of-dawnwalker-wyglada-przyzwoicie-ale-wymagania-i-optymalizacja-budza-powazne-watpliwosci-recenzja-techniczna/
https://youtu.be/4JDH0HKPOP8?si=szUOT4uIWa4rf2F0At least one sequel confirmed up to modern day.>MC gets on a ship and goes to America>Black Flag but you're a vampire>Red Dead but you're a vampire>GTA but you're a vampire>Cyberpunk but you're a vampire>Fallout but you're a vampire>Starfield but you're a vampire
Honestly they were too honest and upfront with the timer.Fallout 1 doesn't constantly remind you that you are on a timer.Neither should Dawnwalker. You apparently have plenty of time to do quests.But the fact that every action ticks away from that timer only has the effect of putting the player at unease. Should have just had a traditional timer that you can occasionally check in a menu or something.
The time mechanics remind me a bit of Way of the Samurai but that game is much shorter and a roguelite in a way, so replaying isn't much of a bother. Doing that in a game so long sounds bothersome, doubly so with learning skills and side content being tied to it too.
>>746594705why the fuck its gay mongolian in the game?
>>746596956still shit and super retarded the gun stamina introduced in 2.0
>>746597350it reminds you when you spend a month or x amount of time with the water chip, still you dont waste time leveling up your skill points like the stupid polacks designed this shit vampire game
>>746576893>Strong storySAY NO MORE. JUST BOUGHT IT.
>>746598947>Help me dawnwalker im gay and mongolian also those peasants and guards are bullying my friend sheboon vampire like you hecking racist chuds
>>746576998you get on pc with cheat engine and fuck around everything
>>746599005>makes up something to get angry aboutshut up retard.
>>746597937I don't know. I guess they wanted to throw a bone. But much like in CDPR's Cyberpunk 2077. Marat's questline/romance is less developed than Lacra's and Anca's. Go figure.
>>746594705Can I have both girls?
>>746600170Not a good comparison since they made the most popular girl in CP2077 a dyke.
>>746600312Yes. You can sleep with all of the options available in a single playthrough. There's no consequence if you do.
>>746600340Panam still had the most content out of all the romance options. Judy had a fair bit too and she was popular. But with her being a lesbian a lot of guys played with fem V. So it wasn't that much of a trade off. Whereas with Kerry, he had the least amount of content out of all options. Second being River. They are not involved in the main story. And you can miss Kerry completely if you choose not to let Johnny take control.
>>746576476nice. I preordered a copy from greenmangaming last week.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qje4w0DAOnsOldfag chud that hates almost everything says that it is his game of the decade, so it might be good
review basically said, its story cutscene game, open world and combat were disappointing a lot of reviews pointed out how enemies are all the same, encounters are all the samelike, the one reason i play these games is open world exploration, immersion, being lost in it all, not D tier cutscenes and acting/ voice acting from failed actors
>>746602203>oldfag chud>entire channel is worshipping BG3
>>746602306>like, the one reason i play these games is open world exploration, immersion, being lost in it alThis is the most normalfag opinions I've ever heard.
>>746592027>it's called immersionit's also bad game design
>>746602426ok buddy, go jerk off to cutscenes all day long if thats what you want, plenty of movie games out there. far more pleb than wanting an immersive well made open world
>>746576569Journos are less relevant than any random anon
>>746602203worshipping Owlcat and Pathfinder*
>>746602518>normalfag who cares about muh open world immersion telling anyone to play a movie gameNIgger you are the most movie game loving slop consumer in this thread. "muh immersion" is all movie games are about. Like how cutscenes are immersion breaking so you need to have walk and talk sections because it's in gameplay. That's movie game 101. I bet you like RDR2 don't you you fucking lobotomite.
>>746602343>>746602581
it was at this moment every retard remembered some people like things others don’treviews say crimson desert was a 7 but i’ve spent 7 hours straight doing the trading mechanic just riding around the map before and it’s my goty i’m stoked for vampire plague game
>>746602695Based and same. CD is my GOTY and I'm looking forward to this. Unironically though only because the world is small. I could never bring myself to finish the Witcher 3 cause it's open world is so obnoxiously big and boring to navigate.
>>746601259No it's not. It's a forgettable open world slop experience. It's cultural impact is absolutely 0.
>NOOOOOOOO I MUST CONSOOOOM ALL CONTENT IN ONE PLAYTHROUGH OR ITS SHIT NOOOOOOOOOOOI fucking despise this mentality. It started with guide niggers in Dark Souls 1.

No Switch 2, no buy. I'm handheld ONLY these days, fuck anything else.

>>746603950life is mid
>>746604080Yes.
>>746576523I like finding little tokens in hidden areas, as long as it's not required, and there's not too many.I like climbing towers and getting a cool view from high up.About the only thing that's meh here is the "destroy transports" filler.There a reason why Ubisoft recycled those couple of things in all their games.

>>746602675yes, saying i want a well made location and not a focus on movie games is why im totally the most movie game slop consumer. you are shilling a movie game, and attacking anyone who doesnt want a movie game with low effort combat and explorationyou're mentally retarded and i cant help you
>>746576476>Vampire blood cures Black Plague but doesn't turn you into a vampire>Vampires roll in to take over local city and use a blasphemous "mass" mockery of Catholicism while getting peasant blood as payment>muh Christianity badIt's the dull vamp-fantasy skin of Kingdom Come Deliverance, complete with it's own Jewish community
I watched a review and he said that the 30 day timer is just for saving your family, not the game as a whole, and that saving your family or not isn't the end of rhe game and doesn't influence the ending like you might think. So it seems like a total nothingburger. Kinda gay that learning new skills makes an hour pass though.
>>746605716is it really holy fuck man
>>746605716You are fucking retarded.>>746605845You too.
I might cancel my preorder and just replay the Witcher 3
>>746603716>I MUST CONSOOOOM ALL CONTENT IN ONE PLAYTHROUGH OR ITS SHIT When the "content" is arbitrarily locked behind a time limit then yeah. This isn't Majora's Mask or Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter. It's a shit mechanic where you lose in-game days by leveling up.Not even the Pathologic games did anything like this.
>>746580171People just love to hate, especially these days. They're addicted to hating basically
>>746600895Fuck off smuggler
>leveling up doesn't consume time limit, but assigning skill points does>in order to get the best ending and do the most side quests to completion you're encouraged to literally never level up your skills and are actively punished for making the gameplay more interesting by having less game to play>the maximum amount of side quest completion and "best" ending state is locked behind literally never spending skill points at allwho the ever loving fuck decided this was an acceptable systemIf anything from a game design perspective wouldn't it make more sense to do it the other way around and let you buy a few more days of time as a retard for having X skill to encourage leveling up and exploring? Like say narratively you need to go from A to B and this consumes time but if you're a chad vampire you can just fly there as a cloud of bats and that doesn't consume a time point enabling you to do one more quest before running out. Simple shit like that. This is not the first game with a time limit or limited number of actions you're allowed to take before "running out" but it's the first I've seen that punishes leveling up your skills instead of rewarding it.
>>746580171>>746606176The plague that is newfags and summerfags>>746605910>You are fucking retarded.Enjoy your goyslop and the doubtless multitude of humiliation rituals throughout the entire game. I wonder what kind of side quests you'll get from the Jewish quarter.>Yeah, that previous lord of ours was blaming us chosen for the plague! Now these vampires show up to drink Christian blood. It's blood libel!or better yet>Oy vey! You only now feel the pain of being bled dry, but before when the Christian ruled we were bled dry by taxation! Suffered pogroms! Expelled from home after home! We exchanged one monster for another. What is the difference?or how about>You are an outcast. You will never be accepted among them. We know what that is like. We were like you, when you were like them...
>>746576476Is it a blast or is it a return to form?
>>746600895Are they even still around? I thoight everyone stopped giving a shit when they went full digital and they just died quietly in a ditch somewhere
>>746594705>RPG forces you to make choices and sacrifice experiences >Wtf reeee I want to do everything!!Go back to Skyrim lil bro
>>746607027Mr. Do It For Free here is so assblasted he can't even quote the right post.Your game is trash and so are you.>>746605840>I watched a review and he said that the 30 day timer is just for saving your family, not the game as a whole, and that saving your family or not isn't the end of rhe game and doesn't influence the ending like you might think. So either it's very important and shit game design, or it's not remotely impactful at all and still shit game designWell, it'll be a fun bargain bin purchase via torrent one day
>>746606814There is not really a "best ending" but if you're not sufficiently leveled up you do get a bad ending.
>>746607270its like fallout 1 you got one timer then other for saving the map from the vampire menace before conquer all
>>746596838Dead risingValkyrie profileMajora's Masklightning returnsAll still divisive, but help up well, committed to the time thing, and utilized it well
>>746576476i'm not a vampire guy but this looks way better than Onishitshow
>>746576821Starfield is one of the best RPGs of the generation and Im gonna be enjoying this one too.
>>746609657What's your favorite faction?
>three day weekend with new game>/v/ seething>Onimusha after>more /v/ seethingblessed week
>>746609854this board's newfag contrarians do this with every single game now, though
>>746600170So, they're doing a reverse Vavra.
>>746576476Once it goes on sale, modders figure out a way to disable the asinine 30-day timer system, and there are some patches for the inevitable performance issues, I'll definitely pick it up. As far as I can tell it looks like a really cool game dragged own by that one really baffling design choice. >game is on a 30-day timer>time passes when you LEVEL UP
>>746610494god forbid theres a little consequence in your decision making and incentive to play an rpg a second time to see how things could play out differently instead of braindead skyrim ubislop completionist checklist simulator
>>746576759>wheredoyouthinkweare.jpg
>>746602695You have shit taste, so you'll enjoy everything.
>>746610692>and incentive to play an rpg a second time to see how things could play out differentlyYou don't need the calendar to incentivize that, all you need are meaningful choices and consequences (which according to reviews this game does have, which makes the timer system even more odd). I've played Witcher 3, KCD1-2, DAO, BG3, Mass Effect 1-3, Cyberpunk, etc. multiple times, none of those games have a timer. In fact the only big RPG I've liked and *haven't* done a repeat playthrough for is Metaphor Refantazio, which, probably not coincidentally, also has a calendar system. I'm just fundamentally really not a fan of this type of mechanic in games.
>>746610009>>746609854>I don't like time limits >REEEEEE HOW DARE YOU YOU FUCKING NORMALFAG *BASHES HIS OWN HEAD IN* YOU SEETHING RETARDS HOW CAN YOU ALWAYS BE THIS NEGATIVE FUCKING SUBHUMAN CONTRARIANS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAYeah, terrible.
>>746610968who is this retard quoting?Uh oh, MELTY
>>746610967sounds to me like you didn't play love hina date sim rpg, it's god-tier and that has a calendar system (you have to score a date in 100 days)
>>746610149Yeah, kind of.
>>746577664I hate western Slavs. I can never tell whether it's a Czech or Polish subhuman. They all type the same way. Less than human.
One reason im considering playing it is the map is kinda niceI played crimson desert and it's like pure white with some icons here and there. Here they tried to make it nice.
>>746613127looks like KCD's
>>746576476I think I'll give it a chance. I liked the Witcher series.
With these story, characters and immersion first games I feel like they need to move on from decades old dnd game tropesYour cloth pantaloons dont have stats, they're pants. You dont have a talent tree irl, you learn stuff by doing the thing with the guidance of a teacher. Even with Disco elysium you had fun interactions where a specific cloth item had diegetic elemtens where thick gloves can work better for a task and not having them gives - 1 health damage. Copy that.Witcher 3 specially had the issue where you're going around town chasing wild animals with a sword. Sometimes a sword is not the best tool for animal handling.
I 100%'d Assassin's Creed Odyssey. This is nothing by comparison
>>746576842They cherry picked the fuck out of that 90% of those are who outlets and the rest are like ign brazil and destructiod KEK. But I trust steam user reviews anyway so I'll wait.
>>746610494The 30 day timer is simply about saving your family and the game continues if you fail. The shitty part is that learning skills takes an hour of this time, which I hope they patch out as that DOES sound asinine.
>>746613127CD's map is an actual map, that's why it's stark white>>746613603based
>>746613475Shut the fuck up.
Just looks like a discount Witcher 3yeah I know it was made by ex TW3 devs but it just looks and plays way too similar
>>746615474the combat is different at least and there's no horse to run around onotherwise yeah it's a clone
>>746615749Combat is the #1 critique for not getting more than 8/10 from most reviewersSome hate timers even if it doesnt rly matter.
>>746609851Crimson fleet questline is insanely fun but overall factions if I were to pick to join one would be the freestar alliance.
>>746576830>constant jankit's made by slavs, that should always be the default expectation
>>746614184>kurwa sonic
>>746576893So basically it's the Witcher 3 with a timer
>>746609657Crazy nigga
>>746580650Veilguard's review really did a number on him, during his Dawnguard review he thought that every time he complimented the combat he had to specify that he knew others wouldn't like it
>>746576759Not if the game is bad.If you take anything ANYONE says at face value you're genuinely cattle and deserve to be lead around by the neck.
>>746576759There's a point where it's just pattern recognition, if most games are bad or at least mediocre nowadays as they most definitely are; you'd have to be a retard to not be skeptical.
>>746616690Why would anyone give a shit about peoples opinion on a game they didnt play. Its literally insane.
>>746576830truly a face you can trust
So is there no post-game or what? I'm confused. I thought there was a 30 day limit on just your family's lives.
