Bruh, it’s just a game 🤷‍♂️

dino,

Huh? I didn’t read the article, but your comment makes no sense? Only if you misunderstood “the world is ending” as the realworld, I guess…scratches head

Hadriscus,

But it’s a league game. There are rules

It seems like it’s absolutely possible to solve all of the unrealistic problems that exist in CRPGs. You could have a rational encumbrance system, where you can only have the armor you’re wearing, minor supplies in a backpack, and everything else has to go on a pack horse. You could have realistic hit points, where a solid hit from an enemy with a sword meant very rapid death from blood loss or organ damage, hits on armor did nothing, you got physically tired quickly and had to actually rest to feel better (ever done HIIT training?, like that), and when you were exhausted you just collapsed and got stabbed to death. They could have realistic movement speeds, where trying to walk across a kingdom would take a month in real time.

But would it be fun? Would anyone want to play Medieval Minor Nobility Life Simulator?

Some people do. And that game exists. My sister has been playing some MMO exactly like that.

I, too, like simulations. Though, I want to simulate fake shit so I don’t know if that’s quite the same because I totally understand the realism vs fun design aspects and I’m not necessarily looking for realistic but believable based on real physics. Dwarf Fortress is the only example of what I mean that I can offer.

tmyakal,

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is coming out next year.

HelixDab2,

I failed the original game very early on. I’ve heard that lock picking was MUCH harder on the console than it was on PC; it kept getting me killed. And I was just kind of frustrated, put it down, and never picked it back up again.

…But I loved the history in the little bit I did play.

Just have a game clock where each sidequest costs a certain amount of time units to complete, and then plot things happen when the clock hits the next threshold. Players would then have to figure out which quests they actually want to work on in the time they have. It’d keep the story moving and add replay value (by forcing shorter completion times, but you can’t do everything in one pass).

It could even be as basic as completing a quest moves you to the next day, and some of the quest markers and npcs have simply gone.

I’m in the middle of a coop playthrough and wanted to do another solo run, once no more new stuff is coming, but it seems that’s gonna take a while longer.

CosmoNova, do games w Technical ambition, optimism, and timeframes: what we learned about The Witcher 4 from speaking to CD Projekt Red

Look CDPR, I love the Witcher games and think Cyberpunk is a fine game too. Just please take your time. That’s all I’m asking for.

warm, do games w Technical ambition, optimism, and timeframes: what we learned about The Witcher 4 from speaking to CD Projekt Red

Chances are it's going to release full of bugs and be missing half the content they market to us.

Don't believe anything these companies say, judge the game by how it releases, assume the typical modern day AAA bullshit until proven otherwise.

aksdb,

Or preferably: don’t care about the game at all until it releases. Ignore previews or alpha demos, beta footage, gameplay trailers/teasers, etc. That way you don’t build up hype that has a big chance to disappoint you. Take the game for what it is at release and either like it then or not.

That’s what I do, but not until “it releases”, but “it’s on sale, asking not more than 15€ for a patched product with DLC”. Usually at least a year.

I went for The Witcher 4 news, I got fed with corporate bullshit and cyberpunk things.

0/10, would not recommend.

Surprisingly good reviews for something that doesn’t look like a very good game, and is more of a political statement than a game.

It’s definitely not like COD in that it uses real-world events and factions, and not in a fictionalized setting.

There’s not really a distinction due to the CoD airport mission. They both are what they are.

Hey, thanks UK counter-terrorism unit. I hadn’t heard of this game before and it looks fun enough to justify spending $5 on it.

commander,

I’ll buy it too. First time hearing of it

Can they try actually making the game prior to releasing it this time?

Jumi,

It’s a AAA title so of course not. Release buyers are morons paying beta testers after all

I’ve been thinking of this game in the context of recent discussion about Steam’s laissez-faire content moderation
