Coolguye posted:the game's not bad, the developer's just kind of a ponce so various spats over crap he said/did in his game because ~historical accuracy~ overshadowed the game itself. for example, the game is set less than 10 years before a big civil war or something and shows no signs of the tensions that would be leading up to it i saw an Actual Historian on twitter yelling about the food and clothing in a screenshot once but don't have a link It's also got alchemy that Actually Does Stuff, but that's waaaaay off from what people thought magic stuff did in the time period EDIT: Also you can be so dirty and smelly you get actual mechanical stealth penalties and this somehow gives you a bonus to the opinion of women you interact with

flatluigi posted:"a prick online" is understating that the game's director was an outspoken gamergate supporter and a loving Burzum fan who considers the game's all-white cast to be a selling point & intentionally stoked anger to sell the game directly to the alt-right crowd There’s also some kinda chuddy content in the game itself. It’s not that in-your-face but there were a bunch of times playing I thought “wow that’s kind of inappropriate/tone deaf.” At the time I didn’t know about the issues with the director but when I eventually heard about it the pieces fell into place.

On the EGS store page for KCD the "HD textures" and "HD voices" DLCs are also free. No idea whether they are important.

Regardless of background, "Free" felt like the right price for KC:D. Played about two hours of it this morning and wow there is a lot of pointless exposition. I think I got maybe 10 minutes of actual "gameplay" in that time. That's not counting the fights that only exist to put you on your rear end or make you reload from an auto save (because lol saving outside of chapters/sleep uses a resource because as we all know drinking a bottle of schnapps is realism for saving your game). I'm going to play it a bit further when I'm not doing anything else, but even knowing you're intended to be a know-nothing kid from the get go instead of a competent protagonist it's so boring Oh, and the game freezes if it's not in focus, even in borderless windowed mode, so you can't even do anything else during half-hour long exposition

Zereth posted:Can you keep doing stupid "doing it wrong" stuff like this successfully once you leave the frozen tutorial zone? Yup. It’s never quite as dramatic as it is in the tutorial zone since at the absolute least there’s stuff like the day/night cycle but using the skills you got there you can do stuff like rob a town’s garrison blind and go the next town over to sell all the crap you robbed. There are no consequences for this so long as you’re not caught red handed.

But also with the day/night system you have the opportunity to come back to a bandit camp late at night when they've taken their armor off and gone to sleep, and you can slowly choke them out one by one.

I don't know that I ever pulled 10 Rocks in a run, but the trap four is as simple as shattering O2 or health bay so they go all hands about it. Possibly while everything else is on fire? It's been a while. /e don't destroy O2 on Rocks because they don't care as much

Yeah, it's also I think the last one under the old AC style. It was pretty well received if memory serves, though that might've only been because it was following Unity.
