Ah, I see that is a bit different, it's back on the interest list :)
The wording on the store make it seems like it is a whole new area.
Does anyone have it for PS4 Pro? How's the performance?
I'm pretty sure I'll buy it today. I can handle a couple bugs.

Overall, I think it looks good across all platforms. However, the XBoneX and Pro are clearly closer together, with PC a decent margin ahead.
If you can embrace the jank and are the fan of the medieval setting I think you won't be disappointed.
Also something worth noting, I really like the cutscenes, I'm fairly early in the game, but there was this one cutscene in the middle of a night with downpour where 2 lords are having a 'conversation', one was on the ground level and the other on battlement, it was so simple yet soooo fuckin' well done and it looked amazing. That entire segment altogether just oozed atmosphere.

I'd be interested to see how base PS4 and especially Xbox One fare. I guess there's a visual gulf between those and PC.
It is not like Oblivion, Skyrim, The Witcher 2, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas never had any form of jank.
The one thing that caught my eye with this game was the realistic setting. No monsters, no fantasy dragons or foul corpse eaters but only just men and women.
Men who, in the age of 1400, had to wear armor that could rust when it was raining. Armor that simply made you 20-30 kilograms heavier and where you were unable to swim.
The world might look 'barren' for some but that was actually how the world was back in those days. The medieval era was one of the heaviest times for mankind.
Game runs surprisingly well on my 980ti/'6700k at 1080p ultra settings getting about 70fps during gameplay but dialogue cutscenes plummet down to around 45-50fps for some reason
So technical issues aside looks like everything else is better than expected, right? I read great story, characters and progression. And realistic combat, which as a HEMA practitioner myself I'm really excited about.
I thought the game would sucjk but now I'm back in, I'll get it as soon as they solve the problems and there's a sale on it

Thanks. I will add it.
Hey, there is is a PC performance thread already. Maybe you have a higher chance finding help there?
-> Kingdom Come: Deliverance PC performance thread
So I've been following this game, but not really all that closely.
How open is it in terms of story and RPG elements? For example, could I basically make a living in the game being a paid mercenary and hunting down people for bounties while trying to live off scraps and such?
Basically what I'm asking is if I can live out my days in this game RP'ing as a thinner version of The Hound.

Not had a single problem since.
Playing on keyboard and mouse and it's fine.
I know some people can't get over the jank, but it's no worse than Fallouts and markedly better than all but 4 on release.
What I can't get over is how well the models are posed, very natural for the most part and the whole animated adventure vibe is really working out for me.
Just finished the first village section and it feels like I'm in a Radio 4 play lol I love it. The voice acting is great and the way the lines run into each other without the awkward pausing of some (even AAA) games. Adds a real sense of normality to a conversation.
1080p maxed is all good so far

I'm streaming the PC version right now:

Alright after playing this game for 40 minutes, if anyone thinks the creators political views did not influence this title they have not played this game. The only question is whether portraying rampant sexism is realism for the times or not.
ResetEra is going to have a fun and civil thread with this game.

One of the first things I check for in a game is whether or not the characters have IK legs/feet, where angled or uneven surfaces cause the player's feet to be at different levels, with the leg bent and all that, rather than floating mid-air. I can confirm that despite this game being first-person only, it has IK feet. That's impressive to me, considering no Bethesda games have done this as far as I know.
Defaulted to medium graphics settings for me. I changed to very high, and the game's running at like 60 fps. I thought it was incorrectly capping it, as my monitor's 144hz, but it's fluctuating between 60 and 70fps.
It changes from fullscreen to borderless whenever I alt-tab out though. I guess I'll just keep it at borderless. I don't play many Cryengine games. Anybody familiar with any of the settings that might be making the game run significantly worse? Kind of just want to turn the game down to medium or something.
Edit: I changed it from very high to medium, and the menu got all glitchy with artifacts and whatnot. Changed it back to very high, and it's fine. Hmmm

I got a good laugh out of this:
But really though. Why does a PC game have motion blur on by default?

I mean yes as portrayed the game's treatment of women isn't so much 1950s treatment of women as, well, middle ages values.
You wouldn't argue it's historically inaccurate and arguably thought provoking to portray women as totally disempowered because realism, but there's still going to be an awful, awful lot of internet anger and hellfire poured at this game.

ALWAYS OFF. Haha xD

Why wouldn't it? Per-object motion blur is an integral part of CryEngine's "look" since the first Crysis.I got a good laugh out of this:

Rock Paper Shotgun: "the grubby realism is a pleasant shock next to the tales of elves and dragons that are its nearest competition."
Because good motion blur is a gift from the gods :pray:
Really interested in this game but I can't decide if I jump into it right now or if I just wait for the inevitable patches down the road. I guess I'll try to be strong.
How so? Isn't raping the women of a invaded country/region a pretty common course of action in this era?
Well yes but it is both extremely graphic and very not #metoo, hence there's going to be a lot of angry kids on the internet. I'm not judging I'm just saying that's how I think it is.
I think it's pretty clear the aim is a straight up portrayal of said medieval values to woman to try and enrage anyone who would complain under the defence that it was literally like that at the time, which it was. And he's done it fairly well judging by the story so far, so he's cooked up both a commercially successful product, a cocktail of game of thrones sex and his own personal contribution to the internet alt right.
In many ways this game could be called the polar opposite of Mass Effect Andromeda.

but muh realism /s
Seriously there's portraying sexism at the time and then there's lingering and exposing it for too long with seemingly little its trying to say but "look at this omg". Doesn't sound very tactful to me but hey ho.
So just finished for a bit, played 2'ish hours or so. So far my impressions are that the game is what I expected and wanted out of it. I've not experienced a ton yet but got the general gist of the setup and a few light quests/combat, dialogue, etc.
I spent time replaying some things, just to get my bearings and see how things worked. In regards to the first little quest to fetch items from that guy I found a few things to do for this quest:
Also in regards to that one scene that's been talked about with the "woman."
Also graphics wise it looks great to me, especially when it comes to the global illumination, being inside and seeing light come through an open window and actually seeing all the little dust bunnies floating around, not sure if consoles have that detail or not.
I spent time replaying some things, just to get my bearings and see how things worked. In regards to the first little quest to fetch items from that guy I found a few things to do for this quest:
You could talk to him, and simply beat him up to get the items, but he is quite tough 1 vs 1. You could talk with your friends and if you went with them to that other guys house to throw shit at it you could then get them to go with you and beat him up for you instead. Lastly if you talked to a certain friend (Felix) you could get lockpicks from him, then you sneak into the guys house and steal the hammer/nails. Then if you watch him outside and wait, he puts the axe down and goes away to carry the barrel of wood and you can nick it without being caught then. So three ways for that one quest to do it from what I found so far.
Also in regards to that one scene that's been talked about with the "woman."
You can save her, just push 1 to draw your sword and hit one of the guys attacking her. They'll then turn to fight you and she'll run inside and away from them, then you get on a horse and ride away.

That scene will certainly be controversial but unfortunately back then (and sadly even now), that heinous act was (and still is) used as a weapon of war.
Definitely. It wasn't a good time for women.
And that's putting it mildly.
Did not expect THAT huge difference between pc and console versions.
Are you referring to the escape sequence early in the game? I was under the impression your only option was to attack one of the enemies and then run away, whereupon she escapes. Remember that games of this vein -- including the venerable Deus Ex -- tended to feature seemingly suicidal situations where there was a relatively obtuse way to avoid the obvious "unavoidable character death" outcome.
Yeah, I mean you could be burned at the stake for basically anything. "It's raining, oh well it must be a witch"
I hope there is at least 1 mission with some horror elements in the woods.
If you start the game before applying day one patch, will the save work with the new patch?
(there was some talk that it won't) Anyone?
(there was some talk that it won't) Anyone?
Graphic? the times I ran by them (trying to save her many times, but no success, even though I got a trophy on PS4) it just looked like they stood around her.. does something else happen?
Lol I think I just straight up shot her to stop that from happening.
As I remember, there was a lot of save scumming that day.
Pre-loaded yesterday and saw the Day 1 patch downloaded this morning.
Now it's a staring contest between me and the clock at work until I zoom out of here and load it up...possibly with a tankard of ale at my side whilst I do!
