will the third person implementation of exploring the map really add anything worthwhile i wonder. will the world be detailed and interesting enough to explore from that perspective? doubtful. if it's just rather tiresome transportation to fights it'll just be annoying and it will feel tacked on.

Kinda looking forward to this, even though I'm worried I'll be disappointed. Smile

King's Bounty 2 wastes far too much of your time wandering about a charmless world filled with boring people

KB previously had an isometric top-down view, a bit like the HoM&M perspective.

I really like the old Kings bounty games. Even played through Legends and Crossworlds just recently. Very nice games.

I have low expectations for Kings bounty 2 tho. It looks more like a mix between Fallen enchantress and Witcher 3 than a KB game.

I will give it a try but very low expectations.

Oh so this will probably take a while to crack then?

^ Depends on how high the motivation to crack it is.

I assUme (huehue) that a patch removing Denuvo might come sooner than a crack.

The 3rd person visuals and exploration look so bad. They wanted to appeal to a wider audience, sure, I get that. But if you are making such a transition, at least put the effort to make something good out of it. This looks so cheap, yet they didn't hold back from asking 50 euro for it.

Been playing for a few hours and yes this surely ain't a King's Bounty game like we know. It reminds me a lot more of another 1C game that came out years ago that I played...Ascension To The Throne from 2007.

It pretty much plays like a 2007 game too if I'm being honest, but it does have one kind of interesting aspect and that's the "ideology system", but I guess that's only there since you don't have any dialogue choices, which is a damn shame.

Might continue this after finishing Psychonauts 2 and get it done before Pathfinder is released. Smile

Embarassed

I will never understand what is so hard about taking what you have and improving upon it. Update the graphics and add new mechanics. It works well for so many other games. I played the first but have no desire to play this whatsoever. Might as well have called it something else.

The writing and voice acting is atrocious, can't remember if it was as bad in the others, guess it gets more in your face in the 3rd person view.
Loot is annoying, shitload of junk to sell, would have been better just having gold.

Have only played 7-8 levels, so not fully into units and tactics yet, but seem okay.

3rd person feels like a simplified rpg from around 2005, weird choice.
