General gaming discussion

It's mainly because I love surprises. And modern trailers and especially YTs and reviewers love spoiling stuff. Plus I rarely agree with them anyway, so no point going by what they say. I've already seen and read too much, so I don't want to potentially spoil more.

But I get the reluctance to take a chance these days. Too many AAA devs have released subpar or broken games, so its hard to get excited. But I do like to take a chance now and again. It works sometimes, others it doesnt. The main draw for me here is the emphasis on fun over realism. And it does seem fun.

I hope people see that too. It's not trying to take on RDR, Horizon, etc. If anything, it reminds me more of the RPGs from days gone (the only suitable use of those 2 words together), like Fable, Kingdoms of Amalur, etc, where random madness was prevalent and realism was kept in check. This could also be cope... again, just hope people react on what it is, rather than what it is not.

Wait what? What about days gone? Crimson desert? Damn, wasn't planning on getting a new game but kinda have to now.

Anyone played kingdom come deliverance. I was about to start 2 and I noticed 1 was also added to gamepass.

I've played the opening (escaped to the second castle) and all the cut scenes really drive me onwards, but the gameplay is really clunky.

I'm wondering if it's worth battling on because the overall game is worth it? Or just skip to 2 which I've heard is far better.

Most likely I'll run out of spare time and play neither 😭

Right, so the majority of players will tell you to stick with 1. But honestly, I would advise Skip to 2. 1 is great but it's very hardcore and slow. I tried getting through it twice and both times got half way through before dropping it.

With 2, there's a great catch-up of the story at the start and the game flows so much better. Much better mechanics but still incredibly immersive. As it turns out, too immersive for me as i started getting really bad motion sickness to the point i couldn't play longer for 10 minutes and had to completely drop it. Absolutely sickened as I love it and really really wanted to keep playing it.

Tldr, go straight to 2.

Edit: motion sickness, not morning sickness 😂 would be a fair special game to cause that.

Will Hitman ever come down in price!!!

One of the most confusing series to try and buy now. Every time I notice it's on sale at €2.99 I end up looking at charts and graphs to decipher what's included and ultimately going elsewhere.

Not on xbox :(

This game is getting rave reviews, selling Switch 2s, and it just went under everyone's radar up to launch. Not my cup of tea, but good to see good game design being rewarded.
