it copied the worst parts of w3 while leaving out the good ones

>>747631886
one of the most disappointing games i have ever played
started off so strong with the prologue only for it to go down the shitter when you actually go into the open world and have to do chores with the repetitive dogshit combat that got old real fast. game has 1 strength which is its worldbuilding and couldn't even capitalize on that properly

>>747631886
It's open world slop made by the same people behind W3's question marks and 100+ hours of "content"

I disagree in terms of what the game did right, I hope the directional blocking thing becomes the new meme and is used in every RPG now, it feels much better than the Soulsfrom or Bamham style we usually get and I think it could be refined into something really novel and interesting that offers class/character depth.

At least is not the idiotic loot system from Witcher 2. Are there mythological monsters in this game? Fantasy and horror don't mix well.
Also does the protagonist have any charisma like Gerald or does it make the player wish for a silent protagonist?

kcd1 already did directional blocks and parrying
in this game its not hard and you have 10 years to do it. the animations are also terrible and there is no real inertia in it, they stop a huge swing of a sword like its nothing
it is very poorly executed

theres no directional blocking in KCD, you use the directional star thing to do combos and theres just a block button that you time for parries. the defense isn't as in depth and just isnt really the same thing, you could've said For Honor rather than KCD. I think its decently executed but could be better, not in terms of detail necessarily but in terms of making it work with different and varied weapons.

If you use normal and blue items, maybe. Purple and especially gold stuff is better than regular items several levels higher.

Don't know what you're talking about because I'm still rocking the sword of Brencis I found in a cave and been upgrading it every 5 levels. Game is amazing, combat is great, world exploration is great, almost all quests are interesting and meaningful, music a d voice acting top notch, timer mechanic is a godsend. There's really nothing bad to talk about a small team building a AAA tier game on limited budget and at the same level as witcher 3

the combat is dogshit simon says where you wait for skill cooldowns to do damage like some shitty mmo
no heavy attacks, no combos and the worst combat camera known to man
bamham had more depth than this

the protagonist is by far the worst part of the game for me, hes a whiny little bitch and acts like a total faggot
