These are the things that happen when WH still don’t fully control their game/engine… Instead of fully dedicating these months to polish it and recover the cut content, and hence cleaning the buggy fame of KCD (Bethesda is fucking worse, don’t get me wrong), WH decided to take the cocky risk (my opinion) of introducing new bugs through creating “new” DLC shallow content which could have easily been part of the final game, for the sake of money… Releasing the modding tools would have made better impression on fans and indeed recover the interest in the game, for free.
Please, Tobi and WH in general, don’t try to find excuses anymore. You can’t blaim all the time the sexist/racist non-sense madness before release, the current studio fame is due to your recent shallow, insufficient work and rather clumsy bug fixing/balancing/optimisation, etc.
Sticking to one platform , the PC, would 'a helped the learning curve then later intro the consoles as a separate version so as to play to their limitations.
Vignette DLC’s and perceived by players incomplete DLC that implied expansion but short changed. Then are told to start over to get the full import and then hafta pay for the too short ones do not go over well especially buggy ones. I have yet to buy amourus and not for awhile still.
my save file didn’t trigger tourney. given the grousing of others, my files cannot be unique.
my files and assuredly those from others were sent to WH previously as part of problem reports. obviously, WH can’t test all save files sent to support but a subset of ones from the usual suspects (active WH forum users) would be a good starting point
Totally! Recopying what I wrote in another thread, in case WH read it (other thread is quite old):
“[…] KCD was originally planned for PC (have been following its development since a Youtube video in Czech was released in 2010/2011) and not for consoles, and only during the middle/last phase of development, WH were “confident enough” to release it in all platforms. It was a huge mistake, in my opinion, as we all got the unpolished game with missing content we know and some sort of disappointment feeling, instead of focusing first on releasing a polished PC version (as originally planned) and a bit later, making a console version of a final product (the other way around of RDR2).”
Who is whining here man? What is your problem? If you pick your shit and do something with that, this do not mean that everyone else has to do things exactly as you do because on the contrary you would be “annoyed”. People have different views in every matter and you better grow a little and learn to respect that.
This really makes me laugh…
I lost the count of so many feedback i gave to them, by e-mail, Twitter and even in that forum like here “My honest opinion on From the Ashes DLC” and here “A proposal for a new DLC”. But no fucks given by the Devs or the PR. On the contrary, i was threatened to be banned from the forum by a guy from QA because of my comments…
Now that shit hits the fan they ought to “try and do something”?
You ask two different questions, one about bugs and the other about gaming preference. If you encounter a bug then report it. You can make fun of the developers all you want, just don’t keep whining. Some people like KCD with the “realism” of the game , others like the Witcher format with magic and such.
I do research before I buy a product. If the products does not work I return it. If I cannot return it then I toss it and chalk it up to a bad experience and will not buy from the manufacturer ever again.
Marigold potions that nearly instanteously heal combat wounds. That the monastery takes a pool of blood minus a dead body to be murder. Selling off thousands of weapons and suits of armor for millions of groschen to a market having 100-200 inhabitants. Those must be “realism”.
Only having 1 person actively using a horse in spite of there being 2-3 stables and numerous wagons in the area isn’t realism. Being able to smack into the side of a building, tree or dense hedge at full gallop without being knocked off your horse isn’t realism. Being in a war against Cumans without them having any mounted units (outside of Run) isn’t realism. Having enemy combatants pause seconds before reacting to your presence isn’t realism. Having combatants break off from one melee engagement, turn their backs to their attacker and then engage another combatant who didn’t strike them in the back isn’t realism. Being able to shoot arrows over the head of deer and not have them bolt like a bat out of hell isn’t realism. Etc
Why do you think it’s appropriate to make fun Jan, Christian, Prokop or anyone else who works for WH? Why should users refrain from reacting in a way that WH’s PR manager accepts as understandable if not reasonable? your priorities seem off.
First of all i don’t see any whining in OP’s post, he is just laughing at stupid bug. If you see whining it’s your personal problem.
Second, you did right when you put “realism” in quotes, because realism of this game exists only in imagination of fanboys and may be creators (not sure about them though)
Third, i really don’t give a fuck what are you doing with things you have bought, and i don’t understand why are you trying to tell people what to do with theirs.
Pretty funny. Though I think you’ve almost won with that kick (unfortunately to you boxing must not have been invented, so it’s problematically to win by points).
I had more convenient bug once - in an early quest with fighting with Hans on some point he stucked on his feint, so that his upper body was frozen and he could not attack me at all. That allowed me to at last win his bow. He was even returning to a castle in such ridiculous pose, holding a sword to the right of his body - like kind of a banner.
In the end, it was even sort of comically authentic to his character, as he justified his defeat to some trauma of his arm - and it really looked like he got crump in his arm, but was still trying to save his face.
So nothing. Why would i make a conclusion out of a human behaviour ? Since you are sarcastic i will be too : may be you need a shrink or move on.
I don’t see potential wasted ; the game is great in my opinion, and i am not the only one - there is even several threads in which people thanks Warhorse.
Did you follow KCD development during all these years, or you just bought the game without expecting much? If the latter, good for you, I wish I’ll be in the same situation.
Please, check this KCD Kickstarter trailer. Don’t you see wasted potential and broken promises?
Potential? Daniel said he wasn’t satisfied with mounted NPCs. Maybe WH has pushed the limits of the engine, and therefore doesn’t have any more potential. If true, it’d be unfortunate. If not true, it’s unfortunate that WH has seemingly settled for less than its own Kickstarter targets
Broken promises? I thought of them more as targets than promises. Maybe I’m wrong. In any event, I think implementing (some of) the missed missed targets would leave a much more favorable impression with KCD fans than any more vignette DLCs
During the trailer we can see many mounted NPCs, and despite horse animations don’t look that good, I’d prefer it to not having any at all. The same thing about large-scale battles, instead of scripted low fps mess… They were saying they managed to make them work in many instances, but at the end it was not true… A blacksmith’s son who doesn’t know how to craft weapons? Before announcing features as an advertising/hype claim, you should test them well enough and make sure they will work as you pretended, or you may end up with this messy impression after 9 months of release, and barely any progress made since then… That’s promising/advertising beyond their capabilities, a well known practice in the gaming industry nowadays. What makes WH different, despite they were saying they were? Yes, different until you know them. They were overambitious (we’re not even finished with the game, but let’s adapt the games to all platforms at the same time with the same release time!.. Not even Rockstar do that, with a hugely superior budget), and now we see the results… I wish WH really learn from their mistakes, remediate KCD’s cut content and make more games, but I’ll watch the reviews first before buying their games.
Yes, I fully agree that implementing some of them will have given a different impression than the “DLCs” and patching mess… Kickstarter targets are something very different than announced features for a game to be funded/get hype for it. WH has failed in many of these announced features, despite the game is still great but feels unfinished/wasted potential due to incapacity/“DLCs” money-lazy train. Whoever is advicing Warhorse with their business model is/are not helping you at all, but getting you into deeper mud.
