Kingdom Come 2 - Your Same-Sex Adventure Awaits!

[TKVNC]

So far the intro is pretty long which is unfortunate. It really does seem like there are zero developers who are willing to offer the elegant simplicity and freedom of Morrowind's quick easy start up. That being said I do like how dialog options let you flesh out Henry and your build depending on how you want his starting skills to be reflected. Something like this would be nice in a less story focused RPG without a defined protagonist where you could give yourself a bit of backstory while picking your starting skills. Sort of like traits in New Vegas but less abstracted and done through dialog.
The little bit of combat I've done has me feeling mixed. Unless I'm missing a dedicated lock on button the dead zone for the mouse is really wonky. I have to move the mouse around to pick my sword position but if I move it too far Henry will disengage and just look all the way in that direction.

I hope you didn't pay for this...

Pretty sure he is salty that his gotcha bait and switch didnt work because of the leaks. Probably ruined his years long plan.

Also watching synth stream right now, I dont think he ever really read up how the first game worked. He doesnt seem to know that stolen items need to be put in a chest for a while to lose the thievery tag. Also doesnt know what private areas are where you cant just wait... arround. Makes me wonder how he played the first game at all... probably just speed run the mainstory.

To be fair he did say that KCD isn't really his type of game but he still played it in order to compare it to KCD2 when he makes his review. Right now he says the writing is like night and day and he is right. The writing for the first game was immersive while with KCD2 it has more of the millennial writing that even normies have began to despise.

Someone didn't get the memo that people hate the millennial plebbit writing now. The dialogue in KCD 1 wasn't amazing but it was at least mostly era appropriate, but given what else is in the game, it's not surprising.

simplicity and freedom of Morrowind's quick easy start up

Off-tpic but I found it funny how Morrowind's opening used to be considered tedious decades before. At least according to our authoritative video computer game veteran :

Morrowind Character Creation

While we could inflict blunt-force trauma on each and every aspect of Morrowind's degenerate design, allow me to expand a little more on one thing: what I mean by "cutscene-laden chargen."

Chargen is short for character generation, and cutscenes are segments in which we lose control of our character and just passively observe the goings-on (the opposite of gameplay).

This degenerate trend began with the scripted sequences of Half-Life of 1998, and has since become a mainstay of PC "gaming".

Instead of having one chargen menu that allows us to set the foundations of our character build and then begin the game immediately (as in Fallout of 1997), Morrowind breaks chargen up into a hand-holding, spoon-feeding process of watching and listening to NPCs babble on.

Listen to Jiub babble on, THEN enter your Name.
Now wait for another NPC to approach, follow him in slo-mo to the next NPC, listen to him babble on, and THEN choose an Origin.
Now follow him in slo-mo to the next NPC, listen to him babble on and THEN choose the stats.

And only after walking -- in slo-mo -- through the interior of a building while being hand-held every step of the way by game-pausing pop-up dialogues, are we finally permitted to leave the building and BEGIN THE GAME. In slo-mo.

Even on replays Morrowind will not let players skip such nonsense.

Morrowind was basically made for people who had never played a game before, yet many gamers had mastered much more difficult 3D games than Morrowind years before, such as Quake of 1996.

Morrowind is a casual game since its design assumes the player has no gaming pedigree or aptitude whatsoever.

Morrowind and subsequent TES games became popular by pandering to non-gamers. They brought in millions of people that don't even like computer games: they just like to walk around, look at stuff and decorate houses -- the virtual sight-seers, homemakers and hoarders.

It is that mentality that has all but ruined computer games. Just look at the state of computer games from 2002 to 2024: over two decades of "Absolutely Disgusting".

You can easily see how computer games devolved by quickly scrolling through Computer Game History. Morrowind and other Degenerates of its kind ushered in what I have rightfully called The Dark Ages of Computer-gaming.

I'd rather have my **** twisted into a balloon animal than read whatever some hole has to say about video games.

It's not NEARLY as intrusive as some other games but the weird cut to third person to play an animation for every herb you collect is a really bad faux pas for this kind of game. You're going to pick hundreds of flowers over the course of the dozens of hours you play. That animation is gonna get old and tedious fast.

[gerey]

That animation is gonna get old and tedious fast.

But muh immersion.

It's kinda amazing that the Far Cry 3 devs, who basically made the sloppiest Ubisoft slop of them all, were smart enough to identify this problem and avoid the usual pitfalls. The animations in FC3 for picking up herbs and skinning animals are very quick and simple, while still maintaining a degree of plausibility.

I'm not sure why Warhorse though a third-person animation was necessary, but I imagine making the game playable was less important than adding as many gay romances as possible.

[Vergil]

But muh immersion.

The issue is that it does the opposite for immersion honestly. It takes you out of first person for a second and a half for no reason. It's just bizarre.

I mean Far Cry 3's are probably longer than what I'm talking about from what I recall. I wouldn't consider it a very good example lel

That stuff made me hate the first game.

@rusty_shackleford I'm bored with this thread and never want to see it again, even when I click on the "Unread Posts" button.
Is there a way to do that?

You know gaming media would **** on vavra for his constant unprofessional engagements against people in social media but they dont because he is from demonic race and he knows it.

[Vergil]

How about you shut your mouth.

Hard to suck **** with a shut mouth tho

[1998]

Please remember to spoiler those gay scenes, thanks

[gerey]

I don't think even the most woke game out there had a ****** telling the White protagonist he's an uneducated barbarian.

[Vergil]

Reading online apparently you can get him executed but I'm unsure if that's disinfo

[gerey]

Yeah, and I'm wondering why the choice to execute this condescending, uppity ****** is supposed to be the "evil" one?

[Oyster Sauce]

Reading online apparently you can get him executed but I'm unsure if that's disinfo

Sure would be neat if you could hit him with your sword instead of being forced to do 7 hours worth of story quests with him before getting the opportunity to wrongfully frame the innocent black scholar and let a white criminal get away

[rusty_shackleford]

You could just not play it

A reminder that Mali, during the time of the Ottoman Empire which this game takes place, was consider an illiterate shithole where many members of the Ottoman nobility and scholars considered to be full of subhumans. To this day it is still an illiterate shithole that continues to practice slavery. Oh and it is also 157 out of 160 countries in the gender inequality index by the UN so they really don't seem to be respectful of women as this ****** claims. Hell, lets look at one of their mosques and compare it to the cathedrals of Europe.
A mosque in Mail.

A cathedral in Vienna.


A complete and utter Jewish revisionism mix with their utter contempt for European Christendom.

[Acrux]

"For instance, I'm about to get myself educated on some of these fine *** white women 'round here. You know what I'm sayin' Henry? I mean, I guess you did turn out to be a little ******, but I hear you were buried deep in some strange back in the day, you know?

"Anyway, you know where I can get some weed and a bottle uh Hennessey 'round here? It's a sho fire way to get these white ******* back to my crib. You know what I'm sayin'? I know you do my man. You're alright for a little white ******. "

That cathedral was built by musa

Oh of course! How could I be so stupid and ignorant? As we all know black people invented everything and white people just stole it and claimed it as their own. I again wonder which tribe keeps pushing this belief with the black community?

[rusty_shackleford]

The women in mali didn't even wear clothes, btw. There's records of a muslim scholar(real) traveling there and being horrified by it. Mansa giving away his servant women to be eaten by cannibals, wifes sleeping with any men they can, etc.,
