After 2 weeks. I'm giving up on this mess of a game

Gameplay
#1

I’ve tried. It feels like there could be a great game but it’s nowhere near it yet. I’m at a stage where i can fight but can’t win against 3/4 enemies at once and every story mission entails exactly that. So what now? Keep doing wooden sword fights with bernard? How tedious. I went to recon runt’s camp and was attacked by 10 bandits at once. No chance of beating them or escape. I don’t have enough money for plate armour and there are basically no missions available that suit my player’s level. Multi-enemy combat is a total mess. It’s stacato random hits you can’t see. I’ve had to re-do missions because of glitches. The loading times are RIDICULOUS for 2018.

This game could be good. But it’s not. The only advice i’ve been given is ‘git gud’. How about i just play a game that’s not a technical disaster?

I may revisit in a year when it’s had a few updates.

This game just isnt for you. It’s not all about combat or the main quest. I have 1000hrs and barely touched it.

The side missions are boring. The landscape is beautiful but there’s not actually much depth to the game in my opinion.

Combat is not technical problem when you are noob. Get good is good advice.
Some side quests are interesting. I also have problem against 4. I recently found out pressing shift and swinging mouse to unlock and call horse for retreat. I get better stats by time, later I will come stronger, better prepared. You also need to change weapon type. Sword is tedious against heavy armor Cuman, even one is a nut.
I tried halberd against 4, but shielded I survive longer. You need to roll middle mouse to change sides between enemies surrounding you.
Just don’t run. Low stamina will kill you.
It’s also smart to wait till dark and eliminate them in sleep or lure them on whistle to a place. Flank them and pick by one.

Yep just you wait another year or so, with the release of mod tools the game would be made into hentai erotic zero skill skyrim, which players like you enjoy.

Some great combat tips already posted.
Really look at the weapons and which types of damage they deal. Untrained peasants magicly taking down trained fighters, in groups and armoured… I’m not sure what you are expecting.

Some players get so good at the fight mechanics they actually kill every bandit in the initial attack on Skalitz (actually not understanding we are supppsed to ‘run’…)

More training woth Bernard is the moddle ground that advanced players really encourage neophytes like myself to undergo…

On the topic of loading- saying a 2018 game shouldn’t take this long to load is an odd argument.
Most people want enhanced graphics and games that make use of more memory etc. Open world games are notorious for long loading times (at least initially).

KCD has never taken a full ten seconds to load (either initial or ingame/after settings changes etc…), and my hardware is mostly four years old (and not top of the line then).
For comparison- forza 3 horizon takes as long as the console version… so at least KCD isnt limited to the lowest common denominator just to make consoles look good.

I have two words that wil solve your battle issues, bow and arrow. to investigate runt’s camp try to kill one of the soldiers when they’re alone, then wear their clothes to enter the camp.

#8

As others have said you have to practice to get better or go the no kill route. if you don’t want to do that this game isn’t for you.

#9

I initially sucked at the game until I realized you have to train with captain Bernard to unlock certain abilities like perfect blocks and master strikes. Once you learn that taking camps of bandits is much easier considering most of them die after one headstab. Sounds like you just suck at the game, got your shit pushed in after expecting to Rambo, and now you’re whining for nothing like a bitch.

Other advice could be: train with Bernard to get skill above 5 and then ask him to teach you the master technique. That’s type of block after which you aromatically hit your opponent (he cannot block that).
It needs really good timing (harder than the slow-motion block) but it gets easier with higher combat skills.
3-4 well equip enemies will still be challenging but you will have a chance.

Speaking of equip, I usually ask Bernard about some work - that is a good source for it. Don’t forget you can use sneaking, poising and archery (just make sure you have bow and arrow damage over 60 otherwise it’s more for hunting hares than fighting).

P.S. I dont know if you saw this, but someone answered your previous topic and it is not "“get good”. You may want to take a look.

There are things that you are saying but I haven’t experienced:-

Loading times:- Loading times on my PC is super duper fast.The game loads a lot faster than Fallout 4 or Modrim.This game like other games is in my SSD.

Redoing a quest because of a glitch:- Never happened to me and hard to believe happening to someone with 1.5 patch.

Too difficult:- The game is if anything too easy mid-late game.That is why hardcore mode is coming.

Side quests:- Some of the side quests are awesome but there are a few that are boring.There are a lot of space for improvement.Also the number of side quests in this game is low compared to AAA games.

Wait for the mod tools to come.The game will be a lot better and much more accessible with it hopefully.

Why do forums always have to have the same bell-ends? Tough guys on a keyboard. In real life you’d piss your pants if i took a remotely threatening tone. Feel free to put your money where your mouth is. I’m happy to tell you where i am. Otherwise say sorry for the insult and admit you don’t have the balls to back it up.

IM if you want to come see me and see how much of a whiney bitch i am. Please do. I really want you to.

Yawn. Boring response. At least try to be original.

#15

Did i say too difficult? I said multi enemy combat is a mess and unenjoyable. Sorry, but the game is generally a mess. I’m going to play something done well. It’s actually embarassing a developer would put this out.

#16

I can’t believe aftee my post the same idiots still feel compelled to say the same moronic thing. People are fucking thick as pigshit like.

#17

This is what you noobs get for response.
Im done with ur kind of gamer.
Whining on a forum that its too difficult for you

Git gud or gtfo is the new motto here
Am i right @Kirksty

Couldn’t have said it better myself, sir!

#19

Did i complain it was too difficult? I said the mechanics were a mess. Basic ability to comprehend a simple point is clearly beyond you. Just shout ‘git gud’ without addressing the issue though. Clearly you aren’t too bright.

He didn’t say anything rude so there’s no need to attack him. You just arent good at adapting to something which isn’t a triple A trend-fest. We think those games are more for your er, ‘likings’. :wink:
