I have over a thousand hours in BG3 and i still find new stuff sometimes. Far less often now but still. You’ll find plenty of new story in a second or N+1 run.

Kingdome Come 2 has great voice acting too. Some really funny characters (Adder is my favorite crazy Pollack) . They suffer from a lack of voice actors though so some characters have the same actor.

This type of comment is why people don’t try new things.

The second game is incredibly difficult and frustrating. I’ve got about 600 hours in it so far. The learning curve is very steep and if you don’t pay attention you might miss easy ways to do quests and you’ll have to murder hobo or save scum. Sometimes I feel like the developers are straight up trolls who do shit intentionally hostile to the user.

That said the game is very rewarding and fun once it clicks. It’s kind of like soulslikes in that regard. You just have to play it to get better at it. AND DON"T CLICK CANCEL THE DIALOG!!!

There is a place for every type of game and every type of gamer. If you are a condescending dick to people they aren’t going to want to try the harder games and you won’t be able to talk to them about how cool the harder games are.

For anyone who wants to actually talk about the game with others who like it come join us at /c/kingdomcomedeliverance.

I never played the first one. you get all the backstory in the second. I don’t feel like I missed anything but eventually I’ll go play the first. Maybe if they put it in the engine for 2 because the first looks like crap.

teft, 20 days ago

Oh I know. That was more a warning for others coming along.

You’re going to have to get used to frustration with henry’s athleticism if you play the second. My man struggles to run over logs sometimes. Other time’s he’s an olympic hurdler.

teft, 20 days ago

I’ve only played up until Talmberg in the first one. I jumped off the castle and broke my ankles and couldn’t run from a guard so I called it quits.

The second game doesn’t tell you anything either. The developers seem to want the player to figure out as much as they can by themselves.

My suggestion is do the quests until you get frustrated then just look up how to do it via a guide. For me that was quite often during my first playthrough (looking at you Tomcat). Many times the game will tell you how to complete something via dialog but it isn’t clear what it’s telling you until a second playthrough. Luckily the game autosaves at key moments during quests so you’ll only lose an hour or three (lol not a joke) if you fuck up badly.

Agreed. The sweet spot was ten man raids. You know everyone is pulling their weight. With 40 half the raid was slacking since those bosses didn’t need a lot of coordination.

teft, 28 days ago

Which version? Alterac changed so many times you can’t really make that statement. Some were ok for pugs, some were idiotic.

teft, 28 days ago

I absolutely agree, og AV was a pain in the dick. I played as a rogue though so I just ignored chat and ganked squishies.

Musa of Mali is black and he’s in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

teft, 1 month ago

I’m actually not certain if it’s Mansa Musa or another Musa of Mali. In the game this Musa is an itinerant physician in Sigismund’s employ. I’m not sure if Musa did that irl. Musa is just the islamic form of Moses so it’s a fairly common name.

It’s really good. Incredibly frustrating and challenging combat but good once it clicks. The rest of the RPG elements are amazing. Except lockpicking. Fuck that nonsense.

teft, 1 month ago

I never played the first one but i’m a fan of challenging games. From what i’ve read after getting my ass beaten by single random bandits, the combat is better and more fluid than the first game. Fewer locked in animations is what i gather is the biggest change.

The one thing you really have to get in your brain is do not spam attacks. You will die. Your stamina is like armor in that the lower your stamina the more it hurts to be hit.

Like i said, once it clicks it’s great but boy oh boy was it frustrating to learn.

teft, 1 month ago

The one frustrating system i can’t deal with.

Seriously though, lockpicking irl isn’t as difficult as the game makes it seem even if you were picking modern locks. On medieval locks it should be a joke to pick them yet Henry can’t hold the pick still for half a second so it’s “nope, fuck you gamer”.

Ah well no game is perfect.

teft, 1 month ago

Yeah, that argument falls apart when henry just randomly moves the pick even though you didn’t move the controller. That’s the portion that I get pissed off at. Fine that he has shit skills, fine that the game has to make it artificially harder for RP. But don’t make me fail at something just because the game doesn’t want me to complete it yet. Just make it not pickable. When something says “easy” it should be actually easy if you know the patterns or method of doing said thing. Like how combat is easier once you realize you can’t spam swing your sword. There is no such thing for lockpicking. It’s just “fuck you gamer, grind it out like a chump” or break tons of picks trying to get the one fiddly rng location to unlock the lock.

Edit: Also he picks locks in the first game doesn’t he? So he just forgets how locks work because of his fall? Bad design imo but a great game other than that one system.

I’ve been playing so much kingdom come deliverance 2 that I didn’t even notice PSN being down.

If you like RPGs try it.

teft, 2 months ago

I never played the first one. I just watched a story recap.

The gameplay isn’t janky just brutally difficult and unforgiving. It goes for realism above all. I’m really liking it but I’m only maybe halfway through the story.

That’s when you reroll a new character.

There’s lore?

I thought the lore was that I’m on mars and there are demons I gotta go kill because it’s my duty as a space marine.

teft, 3 months ago

which makes me hesitant to start Ghost of Tsushima.

I haven’t played the other games you mentioned but GoT is a masterpiece. You should really give at least the first act a try to see if you like it. Pretty much everyone I’ve had try the intro has been hooked.

teft, 3 months ago

the looming threat that Sony patches in more dependence on a PSN login to give me pause.

Ah, yeah that could be a bummer. I play on PS5 so they already got me.

teft, 3 months ago

I envy you. I’ve got 1400 hours in Bg3. I love the game but i wish i could forget it to play it fresh again.

They all went to Marvel Rivals

teft, 4 months ago

BG3 is a great example simply because there is so much content you can miss. I’ve put 1300+ hours into it and I still see things I haven’t seen in any prior playthrough. Granted they aren’t large story things or quests anymore but still, even the little stuff adds up.

teft, 4 months ago

I’ve played those and BG3 has much more content. Especially missable content that depends on the choices you make.

teft, 4 months ago

Have you tried the Star Wars Jedi games? Fallen Order should run fine on your machine and possibly Survivor too but that might be a little much for your rig. \

They’re both wicked fun games that award exploration. I would call them souls-lite not soulslike since they are much easier than something like elden ring or sekiro (that doesn’t mean they are easy though).

teft, 4 months ago

Play Baldur’s Gate 3. It’s enormous. It’s difficult and the turn based combat is something you’ll have to get used to but it’s incredibly fun and deep.

I’ve put 1300 hours into the game because if you get bored you can just start a different character and try the story from their perspective. There are dozens of ways to complete every encounter.

teft, 4 months ago

Fuck.

Act 1 is a chore to get through on replay.

Good news is if you have the DLC you can skip the first act. The DLC start puts you in front of the Church in Pacifica after fighting Placide.

I like Cyberpunk a lot but replayability is shallow like you say. Sometimes I just boot it up to punch npcs though. Make a gorilla arms build and go ham. It’s pretty cathartic.

Clear the entirety of the first map. You’ll save yourself some headaches and power up Geralt a bit which helps a ton in the early game.

teft, 6 months ago

There’s a danger in any game where it might be largely designed and marketed to be one thing, and then has lengthy mandatory sections where it becomes another.

This is the only issue I have with the cyberpunk 2077 DLC. Most of the game is an open-world action rpg. Then all of a sudden depending on your choices in the DLC you can end up in a mission that is basically Alien: Isolation survival horror. You go from being a powerhouse that can destroy pretty much anything in the game and shrug off missile hits to being hunted and unable to kill what is hunting you. It was super fucking annoying the first time I did the DLC because I hate those type of games. Great DLC except for that small part.

teft, 6 months ago

They changed a lot, but in a good way. I had also spent a while away from the game and came back recently for the expansion. It’s really good.

I would suggest starting a new character from scratch if you pick up the DLC. You’ll really appreciate the new changes to cyberwear that way.

I prefer the male voice but the female voice is more emotive. Plus the female avatar gets a nice story with Judy.

IMHO Elden Ring isn’t the most difficult fromsoft game.

That honor goes to Sekiro.

teft, 6 months ago

Not sure why you were downvoted. I found Demon Souls was frustrating more than difficult but to each their own.

Famicom

I’d like more games to be like FromSoft games. The difficulty is adjusted by what gear you have and what spells you use. None of that turning bosses into bullet sponges nonsense.

teft, 7 months ago

Meanwhile i finished FO4 on hardest difficulty with just the Deliverer. 2 or 3 shots to the dome in VATS gets shit done. But i agree the difficulty is weird in that game. God Of War is pretty bad for this too.

teft, 7 months ago

Leveling is a normal thing in any game. You level up in most games.

Also you don’t need to level up in most FromSoft games. The bosses usually have a gimmick or movement patterns that are easy to learn.

Sounds like you just suck at the games. No shame in that but don’t say something is harder than it is.

teft, 7 months ago

I mean for fucks sake for years the advice for hitting a wall in DS was explore and come back at a higher level.

Kind of like when you’re lower level in other games and have to level up to beat the boss? Do level 1 gnomes go straight to killing The Lich King in world of warcraft?

Look, everyone has their own style of wearfare. Some people show up in full battle rattle with mirror finished armor. Others show up to look good.

teft, 7 months ago

Baldur’s Gate 3. But the learning curve even on the easiest difficulty is pretty high. You’re going to die or save scum a lot if you don’t know DnD that well. Worth it though 100%.

Let me get the good gameplay/good story games. Graphics are nice but they’re just the icing on the cake.

Everyone has their own tastes in gaming. I don’t judge.
