I just best the game 2 months ago, what a hell of an experience. It can be difficult at first but the world is like no other.
One of the best games of it's type ever. I only put a game like The Witcher 3 above it.

Put out a 60 FPS update for the first game, you cowards.

And it's funny how little of a demand that really is, the only issue is the cost of of pushing a new patch out.

Never managed to play much of the original back then, but I do remember feeling incredibly immersed. I have never played a game that captured forests so well before. It oozed atmosphere and authenticity as well as passion to that particular setting and its rpg nature. I really want to give this new one a try, it looks fantastic.

If you have a PC I would recommend playing the first one in full, with all DLCs and especially hardcore mode. It is the most immersive gaming experience on the market, only matched by RDR2 and STALKER trilogy.

Against multiple opponents it could feel quite janky. Perhaps that was somewhat intentional, since 1vX fights tend to go poorly for the lone combatant in real life; or maybe they just couldn't figure out a good way to make the camera work well with the lock-on system. Whatever the case, the core combat mechanics were really solid, drawing on historical European martial arts, so one-on-one duels were loads of fun. Definitely more engaging than your average Skyrim-like slasher.

Sounds good. The combat from the trailer seems very cool.
Definitely keeping an eye on this one.

It was a... really weird presentation.
I appreciated the “no bullshit” aspect, but it made the whole thing look a bit raw. The character animations haven't evolved much, unfortunately, especially during dialogues where the camera shots are very fixed.
This is when you realize that The Witcher 3 was ahead of its time. Released in 2015, let's not forget.
The city they showed me also seemed a bit empty, but that was in the morning.
Well, that doesn't detract from the fact that it exudes freshness and authenticity, and that's the most important thing. The environments and costumes are so much more authentic than the American take on medieval Europe. There's a lot of variety in the music too, the display distance is enormous and there's a lot of detail everywhere. And Henry's war cry during the final battle was glorious. Well, they've still got a few months to polish it up. I'm still impatient despite the KCD 1.5 aspect.

The difference is, every dialogue scene in Witcher 3 (or games like Horizon or BG3) is a cutscene. That is, specifically directed, taking place in specific place, with handcrafted camera angles and lighting. They can do it because their worlds are static, interactive NPCs do not have daily schedules.
In KCD the characters can be anywhere and do anything when you interact with them, so they cannot handcraft every dialogue scene that way.

I'm on my first playthrough right now. A fucking fantastic game, even the PS4 version on PS5.
Can't wait for KDC2

I think it all depends where person played first game, if maxed on top end pc, indeed progress isnt crazy big coz game already looked crazy good at those settings:
On the other hand if it was 2018's low/midrange pc or console, jump is substantial
About switch version, lets not even go there

I agree with playing the game on PC. I am not so sure about hardcore mode or DLC. The latter felt mostly pointless, but they are super cheap on sale so not a huge deal, just aren’t super necessary.
And hardcore mode felt overly punishing in already quite immersive game.

HC does not make the game much more difficult. But removing the GPS and and part of HUD + adding negative perks makes it lot more immersive, especially for navigation
DLCs are nice extras, the one with Hans is funny and the one with Inquisition is just fantastic questline all around.

For Hardcore mode I will agree to disagree. Felt it was way too annoying personally.
For DLC I have them, but could take it or leave it. They are super cheap though so might as well grab that edition with them included. The whole thing is under $10 when on sale.
