4 hours into Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 and I'm struggling to understand the hype. Does it get better?

0 Upvotes

About a week ago, I made a post asking whether I should play KCD1 before KCD2. I explained that I usually struggle to enjoy older games because of outdated graphics and gameplay.

I received around 200 comments, with roughly 90% of people strongly recommending it. Many even called it a masterpiece, so I decided to give it a chance and bought the game with all its DLCs.

But after 4 hours, I'm honestly not enjoying it at all.

The game feels extremely slow, the animations look much older than you'd expect from a 2018 release and the graphics are very old. The dialogue often feels artificial and so far the story hasn't grabbed me. I haven't found any particularly charismatic characters and I haven't managed to get attached to Henry either.

I'm not expecting Mass Effect, BG3 or The Witcher 3, but I was hoping for a compelling story and memorable characters.

Does the game get significantly better after the opening hours or is this pretty much what I should expect throughout the experience?

I'm curious because I really want to understand what so many people love about this game.

'Both have a Colorful collection of creatures to catch, Battle and Evolve! There are Gyms in a sense in both, where you test your skill and your party against another team's! While having a host of things that set the two apart. Types, EV's, Evolution and Fusion.
I've Always wondered, From those who played a lot of pokemon-

Skills you picked up from PokƩmon transferable,
There things you recognized in different shapes you didn't see done in PokƩmon-

Star Wars Zero Company’s console performance is awful even after this long, what are some other Console games you expected to be smooth but weren’t?

0 Upvotes

It’s been a very long time since I’ve played a game on console and had its performance so bad that I wish I got it on PC. Got it gifted to me as a Bday present and it seemed a safe bet, the game was very jittery and even crashed once. (Still using a base PS5).

What other games didn’t performance as you exacted?

I'm disappointed by the influence of "wargaming" on videogames.

0 Upvotes

Back in the day, the types of themes in games were fairly balanced. However at some point that began to change.

Since the tactical fps boom of the ps3 era we've seen the fps genre be mostly used to spread usa "community of heroes" culture, gun culture, and militarism.
Besides straight mil-sim games, less obvious examples are: Superhero games, Borderlands, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, Halo, Warhammer40k, GaaS shooter games with tactical elements and realistic guns, etc.

The games medium was built on, by some of the most intelligent people in the world.
Those with other goals, like marketing their franchise/propaganda, were just customers of the games industry.
But at some point some rich customers started throwing money around, and some developers started taking that money to spread content that probably shouldn't be the norm.
With the coming of AI, this problem will get worse.

I am, currently, ashamed of videogames. Because it's image, is that of a violent overstimulating medium, with quick to judge, polarized, empathy-lacking players. Who also happen to consume this pretentious hard-ass content because they think that anything less extreme isn't valid.

It's not even easily solvable at this point.
All i can hope for is that at some point game developers will also have gotten sick of it.
Until then, i just have to swallow that rich usa people, and the people enabling them, are basically using the videogames medium as a megaphone for their copy pasted propaganda gameplay.

So what are the games developed in Quebec?

For example, Sea of Stars. What else?

I don't need them, but being immediately taken to a screen with a plethora of accessibility options on first start up is really commendable (Stellar Blade).

Load your old saves to collect a bunch of achievements. There should be 45 trophies for KOTOR and 57 for KOTOR2.

I only had Dark Side saves on my XBOX ONE. Time for a Light Side replay.

Could you beat your Kill count?

0 Upvotes

Inspired by that meme about getting into heaven you have to face every enemy/entity you’ve ever killed in a video game do you think you could kill every single entity you have ever killed in all video games in a gauntlet/ one man army type setting?

Here are the rules:

  1. there are 3 stages:you begin with canon fodder I.e. Goombas then your higher level enemies I.e. Twinrova then your final bosses I.e. Zeus.

2.you can use any items from any game but it must match your level (earlier stages can only use early game items I.e. wooden sword and later stages late game items I.e. BFG 3000)

3.your inventory only allows 3 healing items and 3 utility items but you are only allowed one per franchise I.e. (Grenades, hookshot, totem of undying). Items that are considered utility items and not weapons such as the megaton hammer from Ocarina of Time are allowed as a utility item.

4.You can also carry 3 weapons. one sword, one gun, and one defensive I.e. hylian shield .

5.Plus you have one, one time use ā€œultimateā€ ability that can be any skill from any game (as long as it applies to your level).

6.And finally all game rules apply, according to which weapon you are holding for example if I have the energy sword from halo all of Halo’s rules applies, then if I switch to the blades of chaos all of God of War’s gameplay rules then apply.

You are facing them ALL at ONCE. What would your loadout be?

I loved using the world cracker in Stellaris on loads of planets so I’m straight off to a bad start.

Edit:Formatted for that guy in the comments

Wondering if there's a game like that?

74 Upvotes

I'm currently playing Dying Light 2, and it's making me think about a game with zombies, where you would work across the map to "take back" sections of the map from the zombies/infected, progressing until the whole map is cleared. Does such a game exist?

I don't believe Project Zomboid fits this, neither do Days Gone or State of Decay.
