Oh it’s you, I should have realised from your avatar.
KCD is very good but it is quite difficult and I’m not jelling with the combat, thankfully you can use other methods if direct confrontation is causing problems.
Feels very much like the Dark Souls of Skyrim/Oblivion and the combat is very visceral. Quite amazing accomplishment for the studio given that it is their first game (I think).
As Bethesda Studios seems to have come off the rails these days (IMO and that is based on their engine) then perhaps this studio can take up the mantle.. I do miss the fantasy side of things in KCD though but realism is what they are going for.
1. I can't resist jumping into KCD chat, but CaptD pretty much sums it up. It is initially quite hard, can take some getting used to, but it rewards you so much with its charm and loveliness and depth that it's worth any struggles 😅 it is also unashamedly the game it wants to be, rather than just a copy of other games, and usually you have to tackle elements as if it was real and not a game, as 'game logic' will generally get you either smacked about or make you regret treating it as just a game by quests having consequences if you aren't paying attention.
2. It was their first game, but the lead writer and founder of the studio did write Mafia and Mafia 2. Just a little tidbit
3. I keep pondering getting involved in game club, as I do like to chat about games, so I'll keep an eye out on what gets chosen, if I remember to, and maybe get stuck in one day. And I just happened to be looking into what 'The Plucky Squire' was the other day, so maybe that is a sign. We shall see 😅
@CaptD Ah yes apologies, I seem to have inherited JudgeDredd’s compulsion to change names 😂
@Ravix
KC:D sounds brilliant if you can get over the steep learning curve then? The idea of having to put more thought into your actions throughout the world and there be genuine consequences seems almost revolutionary in the a sea of rpgs that make the same claim.
Your enthusiasm for the game is palpable Rav and is definitely making me consider moving it up the backlog 🤔
P.S. you’re more than welcome to join us Rav, you don’t have to commit every month, I’ll just send out a ping and you can vote if you wish. The more the merrier 👍
Good day gang! Apologies for the late post, I had a busy weekend so wasn’t able to get organised.
Once again democracy has prevailed and the people have chosen The Plucky Squire as your game for November. It looks really fun and immensely creative from what I’ve seen of it. Enjoy!
@Bob_Salat Thank you, bud. A huge Election Day happening tomorrow here in the states, democracy is certainly a hot topic indeed. Here’s hoping it goes as smoothly for our nation as it has for the club. 😄
Plucky Squire looks like a unique game. I’ll see if I can get around to it at some point this month, but I’m not sure. I have an agenda of my own so I’ll have to see how it all plays out.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
I very well may check this game out. It does look unique and intriguing. I may leave it up to Sol to remind me at some point, if I do forget. As I will also encourage them to throw any gaming agendas in the bin and be more free flowing, loosey goosey with it. A bit like an in-form, uninjured Kristaps Porzingis would be 😛 play with a smile, not a spreadsheet
When it seems you're out of luck.
There's just one man who gives a f*************ck
