I don't think they'd want beta testers who can't use basic grammar.

English isn't his first language, also you automatically lose any credibility if all you've got is attacking a persons grammar and not what they say. Which dev are you related to?

Because I'm going to reason with someone who's already made up their mind? You are new to humanity aren't you?

its a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ minimap you stupid zoomer

I highly doubt my grandchildren would consider me a zoomer and they know me much better than you.

This game clearly has a compass. It does not have a mini-map. You clearly don't understand what those words mean.

Its same mini map as in any other games like fallout 4 etc.

If you want call it compas you entitled ♥♥♥♥.

Why? People generally tend to dislike change. Many are also emotional about their purchases, quick to rise to anger when expectations aren't met. Lastly, many games today are released in a buggy or even incomplete state.

So as a general rule of thumb: don't buy a game on release, except perhaps 1st party games (like some on consoles). In KB2's case: wait for a few months months or at least several patches. Judge the game based on that version.

You're joking, right? After skimming a gameplay video for 5 minutes, I can tell the game is absolute garbage. Horrible voice acting, boring "quests", soulless NPCs, simplistic combat... I could go on.

Further, the changes made mean that King's Bounty no longer has any identity. Not that it had much of one to begin with, as "flimsy copy of HoMM" isn't really an identity.

Add in the issues with communication, high price, slimy "editions" with no info on the items they contain, general lack of info on the game before release... and there are glaring red flags everywhere. There should be no surprise at the poor ratings.

Hey man, that "flimsy copy of HoMM" was amazing and I really enjoyed the pure troop building/RPG aspects of it.

I love HoMM as well (at least old HoMM), but Kings Bounty was unique in that it focused purely on the army building/rpg aspects and cut out all the building/4x game aspects...

I was specifically referring to the identity of the series in the first game, not the quality of the first game. The quality of the first game is mostly irrelevant at this point, except as a point of comparison for the "sequel". And anything looks good in comparison to the sequel.

But since you brought it up... the quality of the first game was not great. It's simply too many identical and near-identical fights without much to break it up and without much incentive to continue. It did at least have a decent look to it, and some halfway fun abilities and spells in combat. It wasn't a complete disaster on the whole like 2 is.

because they wrote their reviews after 30 min of playing destroying the game in every aspect :D lol ...I do not claim this is a good game but how they can claim it is a bad game after so little time spent with the game?

Then why should anyone engage with you since you've obviously already made up your mind?

Funny how ready you are to spam your opinions as if you believe everyone needs to hear it while at the same time talking out of the other side of your face about the need to engage.

Maybe you need hours to decide if you like something or not, but... If I don't like a game within 5 minutes, I'm not going to suddenly like it at some point after that. Many people are like this.

That still sounds like a shallow or hasty judgement call to me. To each his own I guess.

That goes both ways. Some also gave KB2 a thumbs up score after the same 30 minutes, even lacking a thorough explanation in the review. So who's right? Honestly, I tend to ignore reviews the first 24 hours after release. First let the dust settle and see how things are after people have cooled their heels.

It wasnt that flimsy, it was decent as in best homm similar game. But losing its total identity is not that amazing...but it might be better than wolcen for example.. But im old school gamer so i need that camera perspective goodness that was in old games.

Did I say they couldn't voice their opinion? No. Nice strawman. The only thing I've said is that people without the game are surprisingly quick to talk about a game. So I'm in no way being a hypocrite. But I, who am not new to humanity, expected no less than a strawman from the internet.

It's "flimsy" in that it only took parts of the HoMM formula when it should have taken all or none. Partway didn't work very well. At best, it gave them a chance to prove they could do better with a sequel, and now they've destroyed their reputation forever.

Honestly the last Kings Bounty release is from a decade ago....
I suspect a new team worked on this game, which is exactly why classic KB fans are starting to get upset about it.

It's only redeeming factor is combat, but that is overshadowed by the other 70-80% of the game which is NOT combat.
