What is this overhyped trash game?!

[Sylvester Sirloin]

The gameplay is atrocious. I can't believe I gave this game a try.

Graphics are good, story seems interesting, I like the medieval period. Yet every game play element so far is mundane crap. Combat is not fun at all (and the reviews said it is way better than the first game...). No auto saves besides for story purposes. You got to constantly eat or lose health gradually it seems. I eat an apple and nothing changes to restore it. This game does not respect a player's time.

[jabadabadu]

Yeah, I feel you bro !

When I am in Emperor Karl's Inn and some woman is blocking me on the stairs again, I ask myself, where is the FusRohDa! ??

When I stand in front of doors, I ask myself. Do I really have to open this by hand? Where is AARD ?

he literally complained about the gameplay in this post which is very similar in KCD2, not the story.

One that does not have blind fan goggles on.

Why is the beginning of the game ridiculously hard? Clearly this is a one of a kind. And it isn't like dark souls where you can learn boss fights from trial and error and memorizing attack patterns.

I am wandering around to get Mutt as a quest, run into a vegabond near the water. 3-4 shots me, while I don't see his health from hitting him a couple of times.

I try again, but go another route oh look a pack of wolves. Die real fast from that.

So then I look up how to get better at combat... go to the master tomcat guy. Ok I do that, teaches me 2 combo moves. Nice, oh can't learn the master strike because I need armor which the stuff I looked up online says its a must early game to get. Got no gold to buy armor...

The combat feels very clunky and is not smooth at all. Even though its similar to For Honor combat system, For Honor being nearly a decade old game does it better. If there is a possible play style just talking my way out of everything then this game will be a 10/10.

Dude, relax. its not for you and thats fine. why make a big thing out of it?

[TheOptimator]

It's a medieval simulation, not some action game.

If someone wanted to play an aircraft game, there are some people that would prefer Ace Combat, and others that would prefer Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Well ... how shall I phrase it to an obviously highly frustrated gamer who (also obviously) expected to buy another standard casual lunch break game?

I'll try it this way ... let it be. Just, don't play it because it's (again obviously) not designed for you. Reality and complexity seems not to be yours.

But hey ... no reason to be the killjoke for all others around. Just accept it.

The odd thing is that 90% of the game is as chill as they come. Like, literally the most relaxing RPG-type of game in years. This is absolutely no Dark Souls, as it's a game of stats, not of player skill -- and the majority of combat is wholly optional. Always baffles me how reviews point out the game would be this unforgiving and tough. It's not.

It's that Todd "Fantasy, for us, is a knight on horseback running around and killing things" Howard and his auto-level and AFK simulators have conditioned generations to come.

[MishaTX]

Not your kind of game, I suppose. That's fine. We don't all like the same thing. I, for instance, absolutely feel nothing for, let's say, souls-likes. Doesn't mean that the millions of people who love them are "wrong", you can't be "wrong" about what you like, it just means that we all have different tastes, and thank G-d for that. Imagine how boring the world would be if we were all the exact same.

At least you didn't post a tirade about ESG, Klaus Schwab (who is a disgusting troll and a waste of perfectly good protein) and the jooos hiding under the bed.

[SirBrutal]

you just need to watch what the enemy is doing and block their attack direction. how hard can that be ??

The game doesn't advertise itself as a medieval simulation. Literally says its an story action RPG on the front page.

Sadly, I can't refund the game due to it takes more than 2 hours before the "real game" starts and see how bad the gameplay is. Lots of story dialogue cut scenes and tutorials, cool short siege battle to get the player keep playing.
