KCD2 is annoyingly obtuse

[MovieMuscle]

There's absolutely no reason why the game is as obtuse as it is other than to satisfy some very few gamers who don't have much going on in their lives and they feel fulfilled living in this other world.

There's absolutely ZERO reason why it's so obtuse how to f*cking wield your torch for some reason. If I equip it, it should ABSOLUTELY be evident how I wield it. Either it's hanging off my body and lighting up the environment or I can equip it by clicking the D-pad or something to switch out with my sword...but nope, I'm supposed to of course look it up online because the devs weren't clever enough with the game design for everything to be intuitive because oooh realism!

EDIT: I genuinely wish FAILURE for any studio that wants to waste gamers' precious time and excusing it with "realism." Your game should be f*cking accessible without looking sh*t up online.

Have you tried checking the controls setting of the game? It´s in there.

Like everything else you equip the torch to the corresponding slot and then press the button shown in the controls menu so for example for keyboard and mouse it is R.

No idea what its on a gamepad but you should be able to see it in the controls menu.

The game's "brilliance" doesn't even include a torch as part of the tutorial or whatever instructions. Brilliant stuff indeed...The pouch is only mentioned (for food and potions)

Do you really need a tutorial on how to equip a torch? Seriously?

If it's really this hard to equip, absolutely f*cking yes. I should not have to google search something so basic. Definitely a failure on the game's part...

Just dont play the game, its clearly not for you. Theyve literally went out of their way too to make it more accessible lmao.
Not every game has to be for you. Nor does a game being like this mean its only for people who have nothing going on lmao.

You spent more time making a thread about how to take out a torch than it would take to check settings or google search it

I REFUSE to look stuff up for videogames. If I need to google something as simple as this, the game has failed on its part

Maybe you should go back to playing pacman or pong then

EVERY game HAS to be for me if I choose to waste my precious time on it. I've beaten FromSoft games and Ninja Gaiden Black, so I truly genuinely feel entitled to EVERY SINGLE GAME if I'm trying to learn it.

This idea that a certain game shouldn't be for a gamer seeking it out exists in a different universe than I do

Ok

Stuck in the dark without being able to take out my torch or use a bed. Praying for dev failure

ok, thumbs up emoji. Glad you feel entitled to how devs choose to spend millions on making a game THEY want to make.

tbf you could look in keybinds. And torches are under weapons, and the game teaches you how to equip a weapon. So it should have been obvious lol. I will agree if a game doesnt tell you something and you have to google it, thats dumb. At least for controls and such. But this game tells you in game, via keybinds, or with how to equip a weapon.

all the opposition to the OP is from the perspective of people who think of gaming as an "identity" and simp for this franchise

I think youre the onlyone thinking this. All the opposition is clearly into reaction to this guy being overly angry he didnt pay attention to a tutorial pop up.
