I like the game and I'm not sure I know why, considering the gameplay is mediocre and the game is straight up ubislop. Maybe I just really dig vampires.
>>746919554lmfao /v/ lost AGAIN lol
Chat, is this real?
>>746919554>>Has to withstand the fury of Japanese people complaining about censorshipSome guy made an uncensor patch, so that got sorted out.
>>746919628
I have no idea what this game is or why I've been seeing it on here all week, or what "winning" even means when kids these days say it in this contextBut boy have I been on /v/ long enough to discern this is probably just an elaboration for something sociopolitical and/or industry drama
>>746919554looks like a fun game will get it on sale
>>746919674>Guy knows I'm a vampire even though I've only spent two nights total as a vampire and made sure to do it in unpopulated areas (The only population is now dead)>But somehow he didn't hear anything about me slaughtering the entire fort to save Mert.I'm on to you, mister Wanker.
>>746919717Nope, it's just a cool little temu Witcher 3. Only drama is the stuff OP mentioned.
>>746919717It's the new Dishonored 1. Even after this game leaves the limelight and gets forgotten, we'll have schizo OPs crying about the time limit. Gamers hate not being coddled, no matter how much they claim otherwise.

Threadly reminder to set your shaders to Ultra, DLSS swap set to Quality and disable the sharpening in the Engine.ini
>>746919997It feels good to see the clock ticking down as the narrative gains more gravitas in a mechanics focused way rather than as scripted storytelling. It gives the open world experience weight and entices you to only engage in the stuff you care about rather than treating it like a checklist simulator.Ideally, the sequel would double down and make more content missable, like what happened in the absolute kino prologue, where you literally can't do all the quests. But the whining crybabies are probably gonna scare these dudes into removing it, as always. All games must be the same sludge.

>>746920104>It feels good to see the clock ticking down as the narrative gains more gravitas in a mechanics focused way rather than as scripted storytellingWhy does it feel better than scripted storytelling?>Ideally, the sequel would double down and make more content missableI still dont understand how forcing the player to miss content is a good thing.
>>746920418>I still dont understand how forcing the player to miss content is a good thing.You're in a thread about an RPG and you don't understand the concept of choices and consequences being cathartic? Really?
>>746919554what got censored for the japanese?
>>746919717>sociopoliticalGeopolitical. Poles are channeling their gigantic national inferiority complex into shilling another crappy game.
>>746920492There is no blood.
>>746920667There's not that many poles on 4chins
>>746919554>mid witcher 3 bootleg overhyped by "muh ex-witcher devs"still not buying
>>746920453I'm not that far along in the game but so far the choices have been "which repeat camp of enemies or repeat chest guarded by ghosts do you want to not do?" rather than anything that feels actually impactful. It isn't like traditional rpgs where the entire game can change drastically depending on joining a certain faction, picking a certain class, etc. Considering you play as the same guy and have the same overall goal in the end and a mostly same approach to combat regardless of perks, I just don't see what the time mechanic adds. Maybe conceptually it's a good idea but in practice it just feels like a largely arbitrary limit to how many side activities the player is allowed to do before completing the main quest and so far I have to say I would probably skip alot of these anyways on subsequent playthroughs because they just aren't that interesting narratively and alot of them are copypaste the same thing in different parts of the map.
>>746920667Poles dislike the game for the unapologetic christian hate, jew loving, gay sex, the random master nigger that shows up at the end the ridiculous price.
>>746920937There's normal choices and consequences too. The game doesn't skimp on them. You can kill the vast majority of NPCs including ones that would normally be in multiple cutscenes throughout the game, for example.
>>746920241Lmao
>>746919554How's the actual writing and quest design?
>>746921229Main quest design is goodSide quest design is trashAs for writing, it's honestly as """good""" as W3
>>746921191What does that have to do with the time mechanic?
>>746921191And how does that play into the time mechanic?
For me it's the caves battle theme when you fight the koboldsKinda sounds like Nier and Ghost in the Shell
>day 2, as soon as I got control>walked around and got all the towers>got enough shrines to go anywhere on the mapNOW I can play the game
>>746921348>>746921392>It isn't like traditional rpgs where the entire game can change drastically depending on joining a certain factionI disproved this statement in the post I was replying to
>>746921229Quest design is ok if you didn't mind Witcher 3, it's all just go to yellow circle activate witcher vision and click on all the red things except this time they are yellow.Writing is pretty bad and often nonsensical, a lot of anachronism.
>>746921229Honestly most of the content is shallow ubisoft tier "go to place and kill the guys" with no meaningful dialogue.
>>746921443How is choosing to open a chest or not catarthic, how is choosing to let skillpoints sit in the character screen to not waste time cathartic meaningful choice with deep consequences.The time mechanic is implemented horribly in this game and makes absolutely zero sense. Nothing changes with time, absolutely nothing, it's just a resource you spend on using skill points, opening chest or selecting dialogue choices like it's some demented roguelite instead of an RPG.It doesn't matter if you pick up quest A on day 1 day 10 or day 25, it's the same quest every time.
>>746920453I engage with the "choice and consequence" of using my time every day nigger, it's just irrelevant.This quest has a or b ending is fine, because ultimately you engage with the quest. You need ot minmax which quest you do without knowing what's in it is stupid FOMO bullshit.
>>746921443I apologize for being vague but I was referring specifically to the time mechanic when I said that. They make it evident that dialogue choices have meaningul consequences even in the prologue but that has nothing to do with the time mechanic. I just don't see what it adds or why it needs to be in the game. I don't even think it's really that big of a deal but it seems strictly negative for the overall experience and I don't understand why people so vehemently defend it.
if you installed the mod that removes the 30 day limit you are a fucking WORTHLESS coward who cant actually play ANY game right and you should fucking KILL YOURSELF DIE YOU WLRTHLESS PINTALL SACK OF SHIT INDIAN MOTHERFUCKERS
>>746921871based
>>746921871The time mechanic ruined the game because its existence forced like half the fucking quests in this game to be meaningless bullshit filler content that has to conform to the format established by the time mechanic. Even calling them quests feels wrong since so many of them are single-stage clear out the camp type content like a fucking skyrim radiant quest or far cry outposts.
I enjoyed most of the books I've seen so far, but I'm on /v/, so I shall cherrypick the ones I don't like for engagement
i don't like how the vampires look like basedjacks
>>746919554For a new IP from a new studio it's a crazy success. Seems 64k all-time peak is there to stay.
>>746922096>wahhh i have to choose what i do carefully instead of doing it all in one playthrough maybe waterpark simulator is more your speed buddyoh and BTW if other adults call you "buddy" its cause thery think you are a retard just so you know
>>746922096>The time limit is to blame for side activities in open world slop being boringah yes
>>746922141
>>746921871Okay but I made the days a proper 24 hours instead of 16 hours because that's dumb and it feels really good and way more natural now :)
>>746922181>instead of doing it all in one playthroughthis is really the problem people can't admit to themselves. they want to treat a game built for replays as a ubisoft's checklist chores simulator.
>Musa is here tooNO ONE CAN STOP HIM
>>746919554I don't respect anyone saying retarded shit like wonndered lostered or boughtedI dont give a fuck that you're doing it "ironically" or think its a "meme", you need to kill yourself
>>746922181Sure thing buddy.
>>746922227The game doesn't call it hours
>>746922263
>>746922096What's Witcher 3, Cyberpunk and KCD's excuse, then?
>>746919554I seen stream gameplay of first 4 hoursits 30-60 seconds ofcombat in between 20 min. of dialouge, walking, bitchwork or cutscenes litterary cardinal sin first made in cyberpunkif the rest of the "game" is like this then i would rather watch all twilight movies
>>746919554And now people understand why Dead Rising had such an uphill battle. Most people are just too casual for anything timed no matter what form it comes in. Remember when CRPG fans had meltdowns over Pathfinder Kingmaker for the same reason?
Does anyone know what this quest is even about?
>>746922234The game already has replay value through the dialogue choices in the main story quests. How much fucking replay value is added by having to arbitrarily choose whether to clear out 3 bandit camps or only 1?
>>746919591Ubislop with good writing is a great formula thoughever. I still haven't boughted though, waiting until they get some more patches in. In fact I'll probably wait until after Fortune's Weave.
>>746922181>>746922234Honestly, even talking about replayability is already doing the same thing as those fags, but on a larger scale.The uniqueness of meaningful choices and consequences works even if you only play it once.
>>746922301Yes well now with this simple script change, it is analogous to hours, and it feels really good that waySo shove it[/Script/Quest.QuestSettings]DaysToPass=31[/Script/DogwoodSystem.DogwoodSystemSettings]QuestTimeProgressionTypes=((Minimal, (TimeSegments=1,Minutes=60)),(Small, (TimeSegments=2,Hours=2)),(Medium, (TimeSegments=3,Hours=3)),(Large, (TimeSegments=4,Hours=4)),(Huge, (TimeSegments=6,Hours=6)),(HalfDay, (TimeSegments=12,Hours=12)),(FullDay, (TimeSegments=24,Hours=24)))DayTimeNamesByStartSegment=((0, LOCTABLE("/Game/_Dawnwalker/UI/_Unified/StringTables/ST_UI_TimeLineCommon.ST_UI_TimeLineCommon", "DayTimeNames0")),(3, LOCTABLE("/Game/_Dawnwalker/UI/_Unified/StringTables/ST_UI_TimeLineCommon.ST_UI_TimeLineCommon", "DayTimeNames2")),(6, LOCTABLE("/Game/_Dawnwalker/UI/_Unified/StringTables/ST_UI_TimeLineCommon.ST_UI_TimeLineCommon", "DayTimeNames4")),(9, LOCTABLE("/Game/_Dawnwalker/UI/_Unified/StringTables/ST_UI_TimeLineCommon.ST_UI_TimeLineCommon", "DayTimeNames6")))NightTimeNamesByStartSegment=((0, LOCTABLE("/Game/_Dawnwalker/UI/_Unified/StringTables/ST_UI_TimeLineCommon.ST_UI_TimeLineCommon", "NightTimeNames0")),(3, LOCTABLE("/Game/_Dawnwalker/UI/_Unified/StringTables/ST_UI_TimeLineCommon.ST_UI_TimeLineCommon", "NightTimeNames2")),(6, LOCTABLE("/Game/_Dawnwalker/UI/_Unified/StringTables/ST_UI_TimeLineCommon.ST_UI_TimeLineCommon", "NightTimeNames4")),(9, LOCTABLE("/Game/_Dawnwalker/UI/_Unified/StringTables/ST_UI_TimeLineCommon.ST_UI_TimeLineCommon", "NightTimeNames6")))TimeSegmentsPer12H=12

>>746919628>>746922527Nvm both are futura medium. They didn’t even bother choosing a second font for headers.Damn
>>746922234This game is not built for replays though, it has no branching storypaths, no different companions with reactions to your choices, no significantly different character builds.It's doesn't even have different endings depending on your choices through the game, you can just save before the final quest and do all the endings one by one without playing the rest of the game.There's absolutely nothing organically unique between playthroughs that's dependent on the time mechanic. You bring up treating a game like a checklist but that's exactly what the time mechanic turns this game into, a shopping checklist that you spend your time currency on.You just make a list with things you can afford and then go through them one by one ignoring the other things you can't afford and treating them like they don't exist, it's a checklist.
>>746922481>I chose to clear out bandit camp A instead of bandit camp B (same layout and enemies) and got the same quality randomly generated gear that's 2% better than what I hadThis is a deep and meaningful choice according to you.
>>746919554shill
>>746920407He’s Jewish?
>>746922549But that doesn't actually make any sense and you know it. He's a vampire. When do you imagine that he's doing his sleeping? The vampire form keeps his human form rested. He becomes a vampire once night falls, his wounds are healed and he transforms. He literally does not sleep, he's awake until dawn every single night when he resets. That happens right in front of your eyes, in the game.
>>746922667All you're arguing for is better quest design. But the truth is the crybabies would whine even louder if you were forced to miss out on stuff that wasn't just bandit camps.
I'm on day 4 and have done nothing yet. I feel like I spent a whole day and a half leveling up skills. am I doing this right?
>>746922817Days only matter if you want to save your family. It's not a game over timer.
>>746922739You do miss on that stuff regularly in every single RPG that exists and no one has a problem with that, they are called quest rewards and they depend on your choices while doing the quest. No time mechanic needed.
>>746919628jew-kikes wrote that
>>746919628damn, fuck that kiked game
>>746922141kikes deserve less
I finished it last night and overall I found it to be kinda mid. The combat gets tedious and annoying the longer the game goes on due to HP stats bloat and the ending of the games story is very underwhelming
I look /fa/ as fuck
>>746919554The title doesn't feel grammatically correct, shouldn't it be "the blood of dawnwalkers"?
>>746922690What gave you that impression?
>>746922739The time mechanic encourages shallow writing because it's alot easier for players to fit simple single-stage quests into the time spending mechanic instead of complex multi-stage narrative quests where it's difficult to gauge how many timeslots it might take up. It's also harder to have quests consistently flow into eachother when the player is expected to skip them. Hard to have a deep story when the reader is skipping every other chapter because they want to save their time currency.
Why the fuck is there a compassCan you yeet that shit already?I will not tolerate DEI elements in my comfy white man's game.
>>746923125You have flappy bird sleeves you absolute buffoon.
>>746923273It's an open world ubisoft game, why wouldn't there be a compass?
>>746922817This is the ideal way to play. The game is balanced for it. You passed the test.

>>746923619>french meal>"gross poles"
>>746920797No blood in a fucking vampire game? How the hell does that work?
>>746923527You haven't played the game. You're reacting to the word "Jew" like it's a magic spell. You are a retarded shitposter. The game talks about people from all around the world because it's a story about undying mystical vampires and ancient blood magic, not just a little valley tucked away in the Carpathian full of Christians.The game is overtly pro-Christian and pro-White. You use the power of light and darkness while praying at a Christian shrine to level up as a dawnwalker (edgerunner) trying to save your White Christian family and lands from the gang of multi cutural marauding vampires who want to ritualistically sacrifice everyone and drink their blood lol
>>746923836You call that a honker? That’s just an average nose profile.
>>746923776Shitposters gonna shitpost.
>>746922639I figured it was a bunch of shills trying to get this game noticed during the GTA6 eclipse. The people saying "It's for replay value" as an excuse can't even rationally deny your point. It's like they haven't even played the game and just desperately want it to succeed.
By the way if anyone is wondering what the "gay" thing is people keep mentioning.There are three optional romances in the game. A female human, a female vampire, and a male human.Just doing the optional quest with the two females is enough to get their achievements. To get the male's achievement you have to fuck him.This game cannot be 100% without fucking a man. In the entire game, the only sex absolutely mandatory to get all achievements is one with a man.
>>746920407I'm now interested in your game.
>>746924245>chivo hunters are faggotsWe knew.
>>746919554Can I run this with my 1050 ti?
>>746924339>Force someone to pick the gay option>Wow knew they were gayYou're a special kind of retard, huh?
>>746924016It’s convex.
>>746924408>force someoneJust don't be a faggot, simple as.
>>746924408>forceNoone is forcing you to do achievementsAnyone who cares about achievements is already a gigantic faggot so doing gay shit for it won't bother them at all.
>>746924408achievement hunters are truly an special breed of retard
>>746923957no anon. YOU haven't played this game.Sure there are christians, jews and even muslims. Everyone can be united against the vampires depending on what you do.The shrines aren't christian. They are just there for you to fast travel, level up and some of the statue on those strines are actually budda statues.Not long is it isn't pro christians, your witch powers aren't christian.
>>746924473>>746924495Nobody is forcing you to play videogames yet you play them. If the context is people achievement hunting, and an achievement forces them to pick the gay option then yes, they're being forced.You don't look as clever as you think when you try this nebulous broad strokes bullshit, you just look like an uneducated hick who doesn't know how conversations work.Which, I mean, you are on 4chan screeching about people who play different from you so not like intellect was a bar you were ever going to reach.
>>746924586There are no muslims in the game. Christianity is outlawed. And Jews are somehow allowed to stay Jews. It's a pro-Jewish game which you'll notice the second you get into the main city and the game doesn't stop beating you over the head how Jews are Jewish and exist until you leave the city.
>>746924394You are probably better pirating it and checking on your system than expecting a honest answer in heremaybe check with the search button on steam forums if anybody mentions a 1050ti
>>746924245>hot milf waifus for me (real gamer)>mandatory gay sex for console peasant trophy huntersfucking based
>>746924609Anon anyone who 'hunts' achievements is already very very gay, doing gay things is in their nature.You will literally select the option that says 'suck gay dick' just because it gives you an achievement. It's time to come out of the closet, it's 2026.
>>746924394LOL. LMFAOThis is an open world UE5 game. Go fuck your mother, 1050ti. What's wrong with you?
>>746923957You're trying too hard. "Jew" is a magic spell because you know what shit the game is gonna have in it once they inexplicably shoves Jews into it for no reason. I forget, did Salem's Lot have a fucking Jewish section of the town being taken over by vampires? Did the novel mention any synagogues? No, because it had nothing to do with the plot.No mosque in the game, is there? No Muslim section of the town where the Muslims live? So why the fuck have dedicated Jews for the game? Why have shit like >>746919628 and >>746922141 which are quintessential for Jew inclusion to a game-- mockery of Jesus/Christianity and whining about persecution?It shows what the devs were thinking. This game isn't just about vampires mocking Christendom (which they do, and you didn't mention that but it's literally how they bleed people dry (muh heckin' religion commentary, bros!)) and taking over a town. The game is mocking you. It's not even subtle, just that it doesn't have anyone looking into the camera and winking, saying, "Goyim, amirite??"And it's not that the vampires are globo-homo it's that they are more inclusive in their ranks than the Christians. That's the play. If all this is going over your head then whatever but the game is not pro-Christian. You don't use a cross or Bible to kill vampires like in Castlevania, idiot, and it has literally nothing good to say about Christians or Christ, let alone being "pro-Christian" which would entail some kind of supernatural heavenly miracle or force or literally any divine intervention in the narrative, unambiguous (if it's pro-Christian). It's pathetic how a game can just have a mostly White(?) cast and some Christian set dressing and suddenly it's "based" to people who can't see the shit reeking under their nose.

Jokes aside, it's probably the best Vampire:The Dark Ages game I've played in my life. Which isn't saying much, but I'm having a surprising amount of fun.
>>746925075You're not playing the game dude. Coen's village that was burned at the beginning was all Christians, they only worshipped Brencis in fear of the mighty demon and were doing what they were told. That's the entire crux of the game. Brencis' main priest is literally worshipping God with Christians in secret underneath the chapel
>>746921871I really wish reverse "dark souls needs an easy mode" trolling would become more popular. Faggots like you (or like the person you are larping as) should mald at people enjoying the game the way they want.
I wonder if there's candy
>>746924245>"Congrats, You're A Faggot™">the achievementWow, you got played so hard
this shit is metal as fuck
Has anyone ran bumped into quests or visions that expand on those red jumpscare like visions you get whenever you read a withcraft spell book or do certain activities, like the undead at a spellcircle? I've beaten the game and this is one of the few things that went completely unanswered with what the hell was going on with spells/magic and how it seems to tie in to vampires at large. It feels like they're just shooting shit out to enable a sequel
There was a kobold encounter but nothing worthwhile here unfortunately
