First Impressions of Kingdom Come: Deliverance (Review in Progress)

BacklogCritic: "To put it short, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an obviously flawed and unorthodox but also highly original RPG that wobbles under the weight of its ambition. Baroque is a term that would fittingly describe it: it is so committed to thrust upon the player an extravagant, lofty experience of immersive realism that it seems entirely un-self-aware of its condition as a product in an industry that must cater to the lowest common denominator in order to turn a profit. And perhaps that is why it just might endure as a cult classic favourite once the dust has settled and its flaws are chiselled off with a series of patches and optimisations, just as RPGs such as Planescape: Torment and Fallout: New Vegas endured in spite of poor commercial success or a messy launch."

I couldn't stand it.

That's a terrible decision. Just adding a higher frame rate options or next gen latch would generate a ton of interest from new players.

Still have Forspoken and KC:Deliverance on my huge backlog list. Don’t know when I’m going to get around to them though.

7 and 4 are the only 2 I played on this list and even regardless of their negative press. I had a blast with both games, and I have no regrets with them.

TheColbertinator114d ago

Alpha Protocol. Obsidian needed more time with that one I think.

RaidenBlack114d ago

Yep, Alpha Protocol is pretty unique. A spy-thriller-RPG. A pretty rare theme.
But the development wasn't smooth, and needed more time.
One of the few 7th gen titles that I support for a proper Remake, so that the gaming world gets something unique.

Inverno114d ago

Hilarious to me how Kingdom Come 2 has scored well so far when the first was attacked by the same sites that apparently enjoyed the second. Glad they could make a sequel cause so many games have been the target of journo slander and been denied the chance.

I thought Darksiders 3 and Vampyr were great.

We need to appreciate the strict rules of Islam, but we also need to appreciate the amazing freedoms we enjoy. Lets be thankful and appreciative of our friends.

lelo2play149d ago (Edited 149d ago )

Too much freedom is also bad. People think they can do whatever they want without consequences.
Too much freedom = lawlessness.

GotGame818148d ago

What 2 people do behind closed doors doesn't= lawlessness! Your selfie explains everything!

No freedom at all = Islamic states.

No thanks. The more freedom, the better.

BeHunted149d ago

What Freedom? Even a Twitter/X comment could get you arrested in Europe, especially the UK, and America.

"Even a Twitter/X comment could get you arrested in Europe, especially the UK, and America."

I mean terroristic threats are crimes and yes you can get arrested for making them. Yes, there are limits to free speech. But outside of posing a risk to other people you are free to say whatever you want. Its a rationale approach for sure. Free speech doesn't mean absolute freedom. You are not free to bring harm to other people usign your words.
