KCD 2 is an interactive movie - 80% of playtime spent in cutscenes

[Charlemagne]

I don't believe in the game industry anymore, every major release is such a letdown. KCD 1 is one of my favorite games of all time, but I was struggling really hard to finish KCD 2

Most of the "gameplay" time is spent in cutscenes and being locked in dialogue. I was excited to explore the world, but instead I was greeted with a 5 minutes unskippable dialogues on horseback

When I finally arrived in Kuttenberg, I skipped every single side quest possible because I knew that I was going to be greeted with 15 minutes of yapping about some drama that I don't care about

Now that I finished the main story, I don't feel like I've played a game, I feel like I just watched a new season of a TV show. KCD 2 sucks, I'm never picking it up again

I love the original poster pinning the response that is someone lamenting people bullying someone who has a difference of opinion, as if the op said anything that was opinion based. Sorry when you say 80% of the game is cutscenes and then compare it to the first game which has a virtually indistinguishable number of cutscenes, you don't have a difference of opinion you are just wrong, period. This is Bait

Well if it was bait then you and a dozen other people now have the OP in your heads rent free apparently. GJ OP

Nice minority opinion. Glad I came. Will likely never think about it ever again. See ya.

Go back to playing games that your low IQ, ADHD brain can process. Like Fortnite or COD. Clearly this game is not for you.

We already are, we are on rails here for the first act. Nothing you do matters will happen just like it did for everyone else. Total lazy story telling and many plot holes.

No, in KCD1 most of the main story quests had gameplay polivariativity, and you were never sent to prison because 22nd-level Jindřich was beaten by some drunk peasant behind the scenes.

80% of playtime spent in cutscenes?! did you even play the game or just literally run in a straight line from quest marker to quest marker?

So you're playing a story heavy RPG and complaining that it has a lot of story? Kids these days

Back in my day, story heavy meant rich lore, not 10 hours of cutscenes

You haven't played RPGs back in the day, they where essentially vn with decent battle mechanics. You read the 100k lines of dialogue yourself.

So? It was much better than the game switching every quest milestone to some badly directed cutscene with no artistic purpose which completely breaks immersion, and sometimes - gameplay continuation. For example, when you go to Meleshov, the cutscene would skip the daytime to an evening of the next day, even if you come at 1 am for a more realistic approach. So you need to spin time back via the cheat console.

In KCD1 there were only 5 hours of cutscenes - but they were nice cutscenes, which didn't annoy us. Now we have mostly sh*tty cutscenes which are basically spaming us. And you couldn't even skip that BS, because you don't want to miss the story.

There's plenty of gameplay in KCD2, you're delusional if you think otherwise 😂

There was also plenty of times in KCD1 where you'd be wanted for a crime that noone saw, and the crime happened hours ago.

I never stated that there's no gameplay in KCD2. Don't use a straw-man fallacy please. Quote:

And don't change the topic of conversation, please. We never discussed the gameplay on this topic. Also, your statement is not applicable to the patched game, I played - my Jindřich never was wanted on described conditions.

first game had pacing problems admittedly, but nothing like this
