Guess all the people calling it woke still bought it.
For what it’s worth, Eurogamer itself called the first game bigoted and refused to rate it. It’s really a strange case.
That article reads like that other shitpiece that called Ghost of Tsushima racist for portraying Mongols as evil. Like, bruh. It wasn’t called “the dark ages” for a lack of sunlight.
It’s called the dark ages for a lack of records. Not sure where you’re trying to go with this argument.
It’s a reference to a line in a Stargate episode, uttered by a historian in reference to outdated medieval practices (specifically trepanning). If I have to make a point, it is that historical fiction about a specific time and culture should reflect the values and prejudices of the people and not be condemned for it.
For the record, academics and historians generally don’t use the term “the dark ages” anymore.
My roommate said that Dragon Age was going to be the most woke game and that he would never spend his money on a game published by EA. He bought it day 1 and beat it 3 times. He fucking loves that game.
This series is the opposite of woke if you ask me.
Jesus christ be praised.
It runs so much better than the first KC:D. Good job, Warhorse Studios.
By the by, someone playing the game for an additional 19 hours after giving it a thumbs down on Steam for woke DEI speaks to its quality.
Just waiting for gog… Hold the line…
Absolutely this and wait a year for the DLCs to release with it
Very happy for the success of this game, even if it’s not my style. It seems like a breath of fresh air among soulless cash grabs
I tried the first and just couldn’t get into it. But the game industry needs titles that aren’t full of loot boxes and requiring online connectivity
Did you try any mods that remove some of the limiter features? For example I played with encumbrance set to zero and all vendors with gold to sell you. Both were huge QoL improvements.
I couldn’t get into the combat. I’m too used to Skyrim and simple fighting systems. Maybe I’ll try it again
I would maybe suggest modding your defence to a high level, unlocking defence perks, and spamming block. The combat certainly becomes more manageable as you level up, unless you’re simply fighting a group of people by yourself. Then it never gets easier.
Yes, not every game needs to appeal to everyone - the problem is that big publishers are always aiming for the lowest common denominator, that’s why we end up with many bland and similar games
I know literally nothing about this game and I mostly play FPS or racing games. What even is this game and what does the actual gameplay look like? I don’t give a crap about stories as I always skip them. I just want to know what the actual gameplay loop consists of.
It’s a fairly realistic medieval adventure rpg, sword fighting is stance based and very hard, you also suck at everything to begin with because you start off as an illiterate blacksmiths son. The sequel is a continuation of his story. It’s pretty story focused but you can definitely have a ton of fun just wandering around stealing shit and fighting people if you want to, once you get good at stealing and fighting
Hmmmm… Sounds potentially interesting. I’m guessing I don’t have to have played the first one before I play the second one?
I’ll probably throw it on the ol wishlist and wait for a sale.
The second one gives you the necessary flashbacks to catch up if you should intend to follow the story. It also explains all the basics of the game mechanics as part of the quests.
Sounds intriguing. I’ll definitely check it out.
