Sadly I'll have to wait until later in the year to add to that number.

I'd like to enjoy this game, especially since I have part 1 ready to play. However, these slow-paced games typically don't keep me hooked long enough to finish them, although I do acknowledge their quality.

Really happy for them, I know the first game was loved by many and this one seemed like it'd be more of the same, if not more so. So I figured there's no way they wouldn't stick the landing. I figured that whole "outrage" was nonsense.

Steam reviews are also significantly more positive (currently at 92%) - this surprises me somewhat, I expected the culture warriors to bring it down more.

Yeah, me too. There are probably a lot fewer of them than you get the impression of since they're obnoxiously loud. But we've had optional homo romances in RPGs for close to three decades now, and people never gave a shit (and still don't it seems).

Anyway, I'm happy for Warhorse Studios ... and unhappy that I won't have time to play this for several months.

Hoping for at least 3m copies sold in launch window aka full price. Official sales data from nov 2024 for first KCD is 8m copies so that 1m so far doesnt look impressive at all.
Now that we know there is really no rainbow/gay controversy and game is of very high quality hopefully solid word of mouth will contribute to major increase in sales :)

It is 1 million in 1 day... IT IS kinda impressive:)

About the gay thing, I think it is way exaggerated by some keyboard warrior, and many ppl already noticed that most of the outrage was fabricated.

it is an option where u chose specific dialogues/romance options, nothing is forced on any1, and no1 will watch that scenes unless person literally choses multiple options in specific dialogues indicating gay romance, so 99% of players will simply never know it even exists in the game.

Congrats!

I’ve put this game in my cart like 20 times in the last 24 hours. I just can’t pull the trigger, when I have so many other games to finish. Which sucks, because I’ve been dying for a chill, open world rpg where I can just roam and do my thing.

Maybe when it’s on sale down the road.

Exactly. It's stuff that has existed in games for years, but now some people want to try and act like it's some kind of new huge issue that's being forced. It's not, lmao. Much like a lot of things, it's up to the player. It's IN the game, sure, but as long as you don't act on it, you won't see it.

I wonder how the Mass Effect series would've been perceived if it came out today, lmao.

It's almost as if this has no effect if the overall product is great. Which means that's other games where people have defended low sales numbers with the same excuse are in fact, just shit games that hardly appeal to anyone.

Grummz et al are in shambles.


Publicly. Privately, they’re playing the game.
This game never fit the mold of a woke game. It isn't woke. We can't will a game to be woke if the dev won't kowtow to our ideals(or the ideals of the woke mob).

If a game isn't woke, we can't allow it to be maligned. If this game failed it would not be a RIV, it would be a RID. A Rare Incel Defeat.

Luckily we dodged it.

Woke is forced stuff, forced diversity, aka puting black guy in feudal japan and making him protagonist and samurai, like in AC:S, or giving joel golf club treatment and forcing us to play as his killer in tlou2, who looks like srs steroid abuser yet has no facial hair and is voiced by very feminine voice actress, or like in spiderman2- making peter who is superhero stud with decent job, financially stable with amazing house in the suburbs having 50yo looking gf like mj, just few examples of clown world here.

Stuff that isnt woke:

As u can see cast in first predator(1987, 25m usd budget, no wasted cash on sweet baby and other stupid things;p) cast is diverse af but it isnt forced, its all believable, aka u dont have squadrons of bluehaired obese lesbians running tru the jungle and doing carnage, u got proper looking and behaving comando squad of badass motherfuckers instead :)

or:
t2 sarah connor

She is strong woman that can handle business better from 99% of women, but its not coz she wanna be "strong independend bossbabe that doesnt need no man" but coz she is getting herself ready to fight fricken killer robot from the future, she still has plenty flaws, isnt invincible marrysue like some woke movies make female characters.

Ripley from first Alien:

Very feminine and fragile, almost naked, yet strong female character, strong enough to win vs an Alien, they never made her masculine/manly for that ;)

*Kingdom Come: Deliverance*, the open-world RPG developed by Warhorse Studios, sold one million copies in about **two weeks** after its release on February 13, 2018. The game was a commercial success, and its rapid sales highlighted its popularity, especially considering it was an indie title.

I think one day is fine.

It's quite different to have your whole game revolve around your political woke agenda, effecting everything you experience in the game, constantly up your nose and to have a deeply buried option to do some same sex shit for the sake of role playing variety. For Gods sake the gypsy band in the game are horse thieves.
