Thai article reminded me to buy (and hopefully beat) KCD before KCDII comes out in Feb 2025.
On the Xbox store, the DLC bundle (no game) was normally $20, but 75% off so it was only $5. The game+DLC bundle was normally $40, but it was 90% off so it was only $4. Easy choice, even if I already had the game and no DLC
It’s such a great game. I will say though, the woman’s lot DLC that gets started when you ask Theresa about the story is a bit of a slog… it’s an alright story but I’d definitely make a save before starting it if you’re not a fan of its flow and tediousness lol
Way too detailed of a game. Played the first and spent like 2 hours training and not actually playing and I kinda lost interest.
Then the game is just not for you.
I quite enjoy the amount of details going into games like this, same with Baldur's Gate 3 being so insanely detailed. It really shows the passion of the developers for the games they're working on.
There are so many more alternative and simpler role-playing games out there that are more straight to the point, like Elder Scrolls.
I like detail but I'm not the play fallout on survival mode kind and this game was very much a survival mode type. I like medieval games but that one was a bit much for me. Baldur's Gate I skipped just cause I can't with turn based fighting in. 2024
Well like I said, there are a lot of alternative games out there that are suited to a more casual crowd. It's good that developers still make games like Kingdom Come and Baldur's Gate to provide for players looking for more depth, immersive and engaging content.
Also, turn-based games are timeless, just like many other genres that have been around for 30+ years. I know a bunch of people that would never touched these kind of games and got completely hooked on BG3 anyway. Even myself that was never really into these kind of RPGs and tried Divinity games before, BG3 was absolutely stellar. It's one of those games that set a new standard many others could learn from these days.
I believe it is accurate to say rtwp gameplay came before turn based and that turn based RPGs aren't even that old in the grand scheme of video games. I know it's not for everyone but for me personally if it isn't turn based im way less interested. I'm too old for twitch based gameplay and rtwp feels tedious
