What is taking so long for HARDCORE MODE???

[DrMoopinPookie]

This is really frustrating. The game is absurdly easy without difficulty change options.

I love this game and the story as I did the first one but I have yet to fail in combat and die, despite fighting a group of 5 armored targets in my nobles clothing. I pretty much only have to eat food once every 2-3 days.

You can make a ton of money super early using fast travel once you find a spot with good loot. You don’t have to pick and choose what you loot to sell carefully due to having to run the entire way back you can just load up fast travel sell fast travel back load up. Repeat.

No I can’t just not use fast travel if it’s available, that’s why we need the hardcore mode. It forces the more realistic and difficult playthrough.

Sadly I fear I will finish the game entirely before hardcore mode comes out and might not want to do another run.

If they make a KCD3 THEY NEED TO RELEASE HARDCORE MODE FROM THE START.

I feel like they just wanted to rush the release of this game rather than spend another month working on it to finalize it before release.

I know some people prefer the casual style but many of us prefer the difficult style.

I dont know much about game development, but Im sure they dont want to release a broken HC mode. I am eagerly waiting as well, but id prefer a functioning product over a rushed buggy one. It'll be here...patience is a virtue. We all know how rushed games can deliver awful experiences

[Aasimar[GER]]

hmm lemme think
maybe fixing bugs 1st?

na.. cant be... because some people demand other stuff

[Gimli]

Okay

Translated :

OP has no self control, and so wants the developers to place hard restrictions on their gameplay so that they don't "cheat", because they are incapable to stopping themselves from using fast travel...

Sorry OP, but I always find this sort of reasoning rather hilarious and it makes me think of people who blame police when they get a ticket for their own dumb decisions, etc...

Hardcore mode will be available at the end of March or early April.

Any idea why they don't release it with the game? makes no sense to me.

Use mods... I made a hardcore run for myself with mods. No maps, no radar, no Hud etc

♥♥♥♥ hardcore mode they need to fix the game before trying to add any more ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and having it break again

I also want hardcore mode because it forces you to actually pay attention to your surroundings and dialogue instead of just relying on the compass and the map.

Honestly the original KCD had the best hardcore mode ever seen in any video game.

The way they made it ultra realistic with no icons on the map showing where you were, no icons showing where to go, just landmarks you had to visually look around for and use to navigate the world. You could actually get lost in KCD, which made the journey all the more realistic, immsersive, and ultimately rewarding.

Plus the negative perks were really fun and creative. Like sleepwalking so you wake up in random places with no clue where you are.

We just need to be patient. I have to agree with the general consensus that polishing the game and fixing bugs is far more important at the moment.

Just mod the game, plenty of mods as of now to mame the economy and combat harder

Just calculating the odds:

1.) in KCD1 statistics says, 0,9% of all players finished Ultra Hardcore
2.) less then 20% of buyers play offline sometimes
3.) hovering over the avatar picture of OP says, he has 0 hours in this game

So he wants to tell, that he is one of the 1,1% that even doesn't take hits and does not die. He is representing maybe 0,2% of the player base. He is basically more rare then the LGBTQ community in real life and/or KCD2.

Why wouldn’t you want to do a second run on a multiple choice playthrough? I’d rather them get hardcore right than get a ♥♥♥♥ release that doesn’t work cause they didn’t implement it properly. Have some patience man the game came out last month. We had to wait ages for it on kcd1..

You can put any restrictions you want on yourself for your game without the game forcing you, I’m trying a run without robbing anyone and being a good Christian, I don’t need a game mode to force me to play this way I just do for fun.

I also hope we get more achievements for the game too tied to hardcore like we did in the first.

[Humbled]

There are mods to make the game more challenging.

Wow, didn't know that. Thanks!
And don't you go quoting Mark Twain on me.

Hardcore mode is already in the game, and you can access it

Put -devmode in the game launch option to access console command, and when you are in the game, type wh_sys_GameModeSelecting = 1 into the command, then choose to start an new game, you can then start the game in hardcore mode.
