Story mode is absolute garbage

[HoradricCube]

I'm so mad they spent so much development time on releasing unnecessary horseback riding and environments rather than finishing characters

Like wtf is this

[Subutai]

In your opinion lol.

I'm so happy they spent so much development time on releasing additional features and nice looking environments rather than unnecessary multiplayer

Like this is great

[Patoum]

That's just like....your opinion man.

I would love multiplayer to be fair but Kubold has said repeatedly the tech for it does not exist. Having talked to him, he is still researching but publishers told him that it is impossible at present because of the ragdoll physics and the engine. So it is great that he is focusing so much on making the game good, giving us new characters, improving the fighting, and giving us so much content.

I also really love the fact that we can actually explore environments in 17th century Poland. The city looked amazing in the cutscene and it is cool travelling around the Polish countryside and getting immersed in the setting. With a well-written story and great cutscenes to boot as well as the fighting. We are getting characters released too so frankly idk why the OP is upset about not getting characters. We very clearly are as Tarnewski proved recently.

Multi would be great, my post was just the irony for what OP said.

Kubold was honest from the beginning about multiplayer and I would also like to have multi but I never expected it and I doubt it will ever happen. But it is not a problem since multiplayer was never a goal for Kubold. OP is just mad because as he said "... rather than finishing characters" he just wants to have more playable characters and he is not interested in story mode. And it is totally subjective, I waited so long for story mode and I can't wait for more chapters. Some people just need to express how they are mad and this thread is just pure example. Nothing special.

Oh well on the MP. Want a real gamer hot take for the day? No MP is the reason this game is actually good.

MP and the reliance on it to make even a pile of dog poo marketable and playable is one of the biggest driving factors behind the steep fall in the quality of modern games. Developers know that kicking a tin can down the street can be fun if you're doing it with a friend. The game doesn't need to be good, just add in MP.

At the very least, the focus on SP first might make Multiplayer better in the long run if a solution is found (I wouldn't hold my breath.). Since Kubold will then have to make a good ass game for it to sell. So far he is of course, but it might give that incentive. Interesting point.

If a solution for multiplayer is found I hope the game is unchanged save for obviously quality of life stuff that every game is updated with. I guess this depends on whether it is handed to a corrupt company or not if that time comes.

i agree bro the story mode is a basically an interactive point and click and then you have to win x times in a row...very boring becuse the set pieces are not interesting. so sad 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Agree with this. This is a long-time tendency, unfortunately. :(( Hope the author of this game won't subscribe to it to the degree his art suffers. ;))

Story mode reminds me of the saying ”Kill your darlings”. It’s like playing Alone in the dark and I don’t see how this just can’t be cutscenes? If they want story mode to work as intended, they need to make the world and the camera more dynamic with A LOT of more content. Right now it’s just meaningless clunky & boring traveling, even though the environment is beautiful.

Being a two man team, I think they should focus their full attention to the main game and finish it before thinking of anything else. Story mode is not the USP and right now it doesn’t add value. So please kill it, or put it on hold. I know it’s painfull and you’ve invested much time in creating this world, but this is not what your community wants.

I think Hellish Quart has so much potential and will continue to support it, but you guys need a producer or something that can stop you in the early stages of development.

Cheers!

Speak for yourself. I paid for this game knowing I was getting an immersive setting and a story mode along with fun characters and good fencing. 3 people complaining on Steam forums do not speak for the community. I want to be able to explore villages, cities, wilderness etc in 17th century Poland and so far I am not disappointed as someone who loves history. I do not want just cutscenes because otherwise it would not be immersive at all. It would just be fights. Fights are fun but I want to see the world. See the architecture etc that Kubold worked so hard on to make right. Because so few games actually respect the past.

You don't get to make such demands. The majority disagrees with you.

i have tried the story mode, and it went well. Until this stupid horseback riding. I came to the broken bridge, and what next? Should i jump over it somehow (how)? Or should i go on on the road, all way backward looking in the face of Jacek? Why do we even need it, why not just travel from one point on the map to another? The main point of the game is a sword fight, not horseback riding
Had to drop it:(

[KARMA]

Regardless of your opinion,you could have worded it alot better and could have been a bit more constructive,as a single dev he's made a pretty good game otherwise.remember this is still only early access.

You just went the wrong way. The camera literally pans where you should be going anyway. Sorry to say I but think is a brain problem on your end. Not to mention laziness.
