No I got 50B from industry revenue reporting, from MPAA, RIAA and counterparts.

You are then trying to lump in ancillary businesses. Its not close Chum.

MPAA and RIAA are America only—you’re comparing domestic movie + music to global game revenue. Apples and oranges.

The more I progress the worse the game gets. Dumping me in combat right after a cutscene (Which I didn't see because of a loading issue) with 20% health.

That duel is not very practical,,he must have low stats. Most of my enemy die when i hit them on the weapon aka they try to block and don't have shields. It is ridiculous. Also combos are useless,if you have a problem with an enemy just push in him for struggle animation and after you win the struggle hit him on the head.

from the sound of it, most of you wish that stats had less of an effect on combat and/or there were level scaling. A reminder that this is how games like Skyrim play from the moment you start them, not when you are high level.

but I guess a lower level cap would also be feasible, along with the elimination of some of the more OP perks.

I just upgraded my CPU. Now I can finally play this game. And catch up on 100 pages of in this thread.

time to choose your side in the butthurt wars

Fuck scaling, but KCD’s difficulty curve/progression system could certainly use some tweaks. A lower level cap might be a good idea. Or maybe the higher levels provide less of a bonus. So going from 1-5 represents a huge leap, but going from 5-10 is less meaningful, etc... sort of diminishing marginal returns from stat boosts.

I’d also suggest gating master strikes until much later. Bernard shouldn’t teach them to you until your weapon skill is at 10 or something. As it is, the only things that unlock at higher levels are the new special combos, which are okay but much less integral to combat.

To be fair, the easiness of late game combat is a problem with all ARPGs and many regular RPGS. But as much as I like playing as an ubermensch in the end game, I could use a few more uber opponents or to be less uber myself.

I have lvl 9 sword skill but I still feel I suck at the combat. How do you break his combos? When my enemies start a combo, it's like my keyboard becomes unresponsive.

 

[Geckabor]

What if a master strike/parry could only be achieved if blocking in the correct direction? Would make it at least feel more rewarding.

Another tip I picked up was to specify what cores different game threads are computed on. For my 4 physical/4 logical (no hyperthreading) i5-2500k CPU, I use this in my user.cfg

sys_main_CPU = 3
sys_physics_CPU = 0
sys_streaming_CPU = 2

Windows and background processes are likely to shit up your primary core (#0), which is why I offload something relatively undemanding like physics onto it. Setting streaming to the 2nd and main to 3rd were just educated guesses, but I didn't want to set main to 0 because of Windows, and I didn't want to set it to 4 in case the main thread can branch to CPU#+1. I.e. in my setup, use cores 3+4, whereas if I set main to 4, it would use 4+0, the slower core b/c of windows.

In short: BES 100% removed all my small freezes and stutters, but didn't improve my FPS. Specifying my CPU cores gave me a, no shit, 10 to 20 FPS boost in the center of Rattay. Where my system used to dog out around 30 to 35 fps while sprinting from the lower gate to the upper, and occasionally freeze for 1 or 2 seconds, I was getting 45 to 60 fps without freezes. It was so good I cranked up some more CPU intensive settings.

Unfortunately this made no difference for me. I'm sprinting with the horse through Rattay, entering through the gate from the Miller's side, then going via the main street through the exit that leads to the training ground, returning then from the training ground, through the other gate, back to the center square. With or without these CPU settings, I'm in the mid 30-ies of FPS. I have had no stutters to begin with, so I haven't used the anti-stutter mod. Maybe in my case it's my GPU that's the bottleneck (Gigabyte WindForce GTX 780 Factory OC)?

BTW, when I look at Resource Monitor, the CPU cores load doesn't seem at all different, with or without these CPU settings:

If there are healing potions I haven't seen any yet. The best I found was the marigold potion.

henry generally have perfect repaired equipment.
and enemies instead have half broken stuff and if you add henry intervention their gear get instantly destroyed.

they probally have to reduce malus on broken gear so enemy are more dangerous when they have good gear.

also: the treasures are so broken, basically free stuff easy to find and also 100% repaired, hidden stuff should be broken at 0% so you have at least to repair it (and if you want to sell it’s less valuable)

or put a pieces of gear in each treasure and you have to find a smith for rebuild the item so you don’t find the best sword of the game with a 99 money map in a treasure hidden close to the rattay mill.

and yes perk are broken and no sense.

broken at 0%

isn't that basically impossible to repair, even for an armorer?

THIS is the main reason I always wait a few months before playing my RPGs. All of them are ALWAYS misbalanced and need some love and care after release.

I'm gonna finally start my first playthrough of Elex since it seems no more patches or balance changes are incoming. Looking forward to KCD when the first DLC comes around.

There are some. Not sure what they're called in English, but they're significantly more powerful than the marigold one.

It 100% would go against their sumulationist paradigm but if enemies would only drop around 1-2 pieces of equipment and it would be always 0-30% broken it would make collecting your own armor set so much more meaningful and getting money harder.

What's the best sword in the game?
I know of 2 good swords, one is bought at rattay swordmaster - it has 75 slash but like 56 pierce, the second in sheba sword, it has 65 pierce and slash, there is also one with shit slash but 75 piece (also bought at rattay swordsmith).

Does the sword you are talking about h as better numbers?

Yep. But it would also significantly multiplied the "looool such realism hahaha" comments. I've already seen stuff like "they brag the game is realistic but you can drink a potion to heal yourself looool, such BS". Random drops would make this sort of retardery much worse.

i think is the reason why there is no dragons in RL.

Disable HT and VSYNC. What CPU is that?

The cool thing is than potions increase Nourisment like food. So if you stucked up on food before combat to 120% you actually can't drink potion.

I would only keep basic potion in the game though, and remove Lazarus potion. It's a dumb potion.

there is a potion for that the digestive

Is there any word on the timeline for DLC or the sequel?

It's a mystery, but if I had to guess first DLC will be done in 6 months or a year. It's probably already fully written and was in production shortly before launch like it often is in the industry.

"looool such realism hahaha"

this whole argument seems born of a secret butthurt that there are no niggers in the game.

Vsync is already disabled, though this is not relevant in a case where I can't reach 60fps anyway. What is "HT"? My CPU is i7 4790k

Go into BIOS during boot, find Hyperthreading (or HT) and disable it, then test it again with that configuration file that set threads like sys_main_CPU = 3 ...

If that works, enable HT again, and try multiply values by two, aka
sys_main_CPU = 6.

If both works, post about it there. Perhaps developers would get some clue. (I was solving stuff like that 15 years ago... While I have talent for multithreaded programming, one of the best, they should still be able to handle stuff like this decently. It just needs some testing, and possibly few special cases in game engine.)
