Care to expand on "poor execution"? I really enjoyed it. There were a few times it could be a bit frustrating, but overall I felt it was very well done
Maybe im just unaccustomed to games similar to it but almost every single task, from hunting to fighting or just collecting clue/items felt like a constant chore. I remember just getting my ass pounded into the ground at every encounter. I couldnt even travel without getting ambushed and just dying instantly. Every story mission with combat was a monumental task to overcome and if you died you went back sometimes several hours. And dont get me started on the part where the game wanted me to commit several hours to roleplay being a monk.
ps I know im complaining (it's my favorite thing to do) but I really did have a super good time with KCD, it was just also a frustrating time and im hoping the next one is at least as in-depth, if not a bit more approachable
That's the whole point of the first game, you're a scrub. Literally a peasant and that fighting isn't like in Zelda where you're a complete badass, nope just a scrub ass peasant who happens to have a sword. That's why I think this game had such a divide. You either loved it or hated it.
What? No, I meant in game. You're character when you start is just a scrub. Hell even at the end game you're still at best able to take on like 3 guys at once.
