Kingdom Come 1 had peak player count of over 96 000. Beat that WOKEFAIL! :lol: Be prepared to be clubbed to the death by Kingdom Come 2. WOKE sells? BAHAHAA. Bath water from dirty e-thots has its buyers.

Point is: GOOD & QUALITY RPGs sell. Sell better

Why are people buying this game on Steam when you can get it for 16 bucks with EA Play?

Why pay anything? I don't know what the rules are and don't want to catch a ban because you never know with these things but it's already just a google search away.
Piracy is wrong. Except for this time, here it's the moral choice.
I disagree, piracy is wrong, I at least sure as fuck wouldn't even bother pirating this damn thing.

I won't either, but if you're tempted to buy this turd, even if you just want to see how bad it is, you should sail the seven seas instead. Fuck enabling this shit.

I feel like I'm the only one here who hasn't bought the game yet.

You guys must have so much fun playing DATV. :(
I think the codex steam group playing the game topped out at 9 people, why aren't you the greatest defender of it playing it?

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
Ok I wasn't stupid enough to predict this will sell Concord numbers (25k IIRC) but this shit peaking at 70k on the release day? At the ideal gaming time in Kwanzania?

I did NOT expect this. I thought it was gonna sell about as much as Starfield, with similar concurrents (300k for Starfield at launch IIRC). 70k is p. much my Christmas, I couldn't have dreamt of a more hilarious number.

Strap Yourselves In
Tried like 15-20 minutes of this game (don't lose your minds - I didn't buy it) + time it took to create a character. Still in the tutorial, but there's just nothing pulling me to keep playing for now.

One of the positives I can say is that the male1 voice with pitch set to "low" sounds pretty decent. Not exactly 100% fit for a dwarf, but way better than anything that BG3 had.
The character creator is also pretty decent I guess if you chose to ignore the scar nonsense and having tits/ass being illegal.

And that's the last good thing I can say. Somehow playing the game at 1440p with everything nearly maxed looks way worse than I thought it would. Guess the promotional gameplay clips had some extra filters on them cause this shit just looks like runescape in 3d.
The movement and combat is insanely "sticky". You move the camera - and after you stop moving it - it still does some extra small adjustment for you. You swing a sword - you enter a 2 second long animation.
The combat itself is a joke. Nightmare difficulty (which can't be changed by the way, so not sure how some of those reviewers turned down the difficulty to make the game faster) is just increasing the enemy hp. Combat is 95% pressing M1 and Q. Dodging is piss easy and has no cooldown. If you played any Soulslike, you can easilly dodge 100% of enemy attacks.
Everything is purple and green as fuck. Even in the tutorial area, I'm getting overwhelmed with the clutter on screen; and from what I've seen - it gets way more cluttered the further you go.
In the time I spent playing, I haven't seen a single conversation actually lip-sync properly. The voices and lips are just in completely different universes for every single character.
The animations somehow feel worse than they were in Origins, and there's a 15 year difference between the games; and origins wasn't something special.
The loot system is - press E -> pick up gold from that insanely brightly glowing pile of glitter.

In the time I spent playing, I didn't really encounter any performance issues. Although the FPS isn't high, but there doesn't seem to be any stutter so it doesn't feel out of place (and ~90fps is more than enough for this kind of game anyway.)
