I hope @Shady is ok

Also, that mosque is the pinnacle of Mali architecture - a multistory mudhut that got washed away and was left to rot, and subsequently had to be rebuilt by the French.

Even a regular church of the period was millennia ahead in terms of scope and complexity, to say nothing of the grandest edifices that had been built in Europe during the 15th century.

Vavra is now doxxing people who criticize kcd2


@Lord of Riva will probably enjoy this, women can get a restraining order in USA on word alone, no evidence needed.


This is definitely the actions of someone who is very happy with how sales are going and definitely not lashing out.

cool it with the antisemitism

This is Martin's son/Henry's step brother btw. You're forced to defend the **** during a pogrom as far as I understand, no choice to not do it.

Taking a look at recent games that did really well, like Helldivers 2 or Baldur's Gate 3, the player count always keeps rising in the first two to three days, yet KCD2 plateaued yesterday and already has cca. 60,000 less concurrent players today. It might do better over the weekend, but it doesn't seem to be setting the world on fire, despite releasing before any other major releases this year.

159k is low, idk where people got the idea that it isn't. It's a big budget AAA game that's a sequel to a game that was being given away by the millions to generate hype for years.

I think most people are assuming the game didn't cost as much to develop as it would have if the devs were located outside of Eastern Europe.

My guess is the budget is anywhere between $80 million (double that of the original) and $100 million (or more) just on development alone. It's likely above $100 million though, considering the size of the team and how long it took to develop.

yeah **** that dude.

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.,

Seems to be more successful than Stalker 2 which is already profitable by now.

can someone list to me all the woke/ awful **** found in kcd2 so far

[Tinky Winky]

You'd have to play this slop first so probably never.

[rusty_shackleford]

can someone list to me all the woke/ awful **** found in kcd2 so far

martin's biological son/henry's step brother is a jew, you're (allegedly) required to defend **** from a pogrom, gay romance, repeated lecturing from musa on how inferior europeans are
musa is tagged invincible so you can't kill him, you have to frame the innocent negro to get rid of him
probably a lot more

[RangerBoo]

can someone list to me all the woke/ awful **** found in kcd2 so far

1. Strong girl bosses that berate Henry and he just takes it like a ****.
2. Gay romances.
3. Token magical ****** that is smarter and more cultured than the white Europeans even though he is from a place that has historically always been an illiterate **** hole.
4. The victimization of ****.
5. You can not attack any of the Jewish NPC's or the synagogue.
6. You can enter into a homosexual relationship with your Jewish stepbrother.
7. Christendom is constantly belittled and seen as evil oppressors because ****.
8. Historical revisionism to make Islam and Judaism look better and more advanced than Christianity.

[rusty_shackleford]

6. You can enter into a homosexual relationship with you Jewish stepbrother.

Please be true it would be so funny

[1998]

That might be even too much to mod out.

I have good news for you!

I just... I just can't anymore.

Despite how gay and brown BG3 is, there wasn't a moment which captured the same level of Jewish fetishism for negroes, which this game captures.
Difference in the details of how it's done I guess. ****** + lesbian **** was the worst part of BG3, which needed to be modded out, whereas this feels more offensive after hyping itself up as historically accurate. Unappealing gameplay anyway.

KCD2 is significantly worse because it was a purposeful bait and switch + it's meant to be 'historical' while ******** on Europe/Europeans, it's not even part of any of the advertising.
It's not like Larian was shy about what was in their game.

Oh my God the ******* dialogue in this game. I have only watched Synth's stream but the dialogue all felt like homosexual innuendo that it bordered on ridiculousness. My gaydar is really going off with Vavra.

But its only one ****** and you can skip the buttfuckery!!!!

You could just not play it

You could just not post about it too but here we are.

Which fits in with the underlying feeling of both. They're both 'woke' but one is incredibly Jewish in its approach whereas the other, you can tell, was made by a ridiculous Scandinavian that is trying to appease the weird foids & ******** that work for him now, as well as the ones at WotC.
The only bait and switch was during early development, and clearly something to with them suddenly having to pivot and change the characters/ story thanks to WotC, but it was always going to be some variation of Leftist.

Like with Final Fantasy 7 Remake/ Rebirth, it's pozzed in some significant ways, but not pozzed enough to shove a homo Barret romance in people's faces, or be explicitly malicious towards Europeans-- in fact, Ancients look like Hyperboreans.

The Jew cries out in pain as he strikes you

[Roguey]

How much better than the first game do you think they were expecting it to do?

uhh… a lot? You realize it has been almost a decade, right?

KCD was notable for breaking Witcher 3 & Skyrim's peak CCU when it launched.
https://www.gamerevolution.com/news/369 ... u-on-steam

Need numbers more solid than this.

https://steamdb.info/charts/?sort=peak KCD2 is currently the 94th most played game on Steam of all time and it's likely going to climb higher on Sunday. Were they expected it to sell 2, 3, 4, 5 times more than the original game? There comes a point where it's just unrealistic.

Czech math

"In Czech conditions, there is probably no project - for example, a film project - that would cost that much. On a global scale, I can imagine that for the price of Kingdom Come 2, you could make a medium-budget Hollywood film or even a whole series on Netflix," studio head Martin Frývaldský told CzechCrunch.

"It's in the high hundreds of millions of crowns," Frývaldský says. How high? The expansion of gaming content and the increase in Warhorse's staff - or the reference to Netflix series, which typically cost tens of millions of dollars - suggests something. Like the development costs of their first game in 2018, the developers aren't fully specifying the budget this time around. However, the creators themselves are talking about a game twice the size, and twice the size not only of the game world, but also of the studio itself.

"The budget matches the completely different requirements we had from the beginning. Both in terms of the quality of the systems and the overall gaming experience. We will spend approximately ten thousand man-months on Kingdom Come 2. The first one had about 130 people working at the peak, while on the second one we're now at 250 people, and I wouldn't be surprised if we grow a bit more," says Frývaldský.

Daniel Vávra, the game's lead designer, has hinted in the past that the budget for the first Kingdom Come was about 400 million. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's budget could easily double that amount.

https://wccftech.com/kingdom-come-deliv ... m-dollars/

Kingdom Come: Deliverance's total budget was 750 million crowns - or roughly 36.5 million dollars.

This figure does include marketing costs, which have certainly been dealt with by publisher Deep Silver

So if the budget doubled, let's say that makes it a 70 million dollar game. To break even they would need to sell about 1.5 million copies. Given the current CCU, they've already made it through PC copies alone. Nothing but profit from here. Unless you can make a strong argument for how the budget actually tripled (in which case they'd need to sell over 2 million which they're not far from either).

lmao roguey thinks devs actually get the entire $60 from each sale

I hope @Shady is ok

Im on Skyrim modding therapy session

I was accommodating Steam's cut and multiplying by 48 though.
