2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

Lo-Fi Games know you've spent a billion hours with Kenshi, so they're working on making the sequel's discoveries even less predictable (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

I really want to pick up Kenshi again. But the last time I touched the game I put 30 hours into it over a 3-day weekend. I fear for my free time.

you're just gonna let the slavers get away with it???

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

We need a c\KenshiVibes here. Game slaps.

I'm excited for kenshi 2, even if I'm beyond wary of it being made in Unreal engine...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago

I just want it to be coop.

I will never understand how to enjoy Kenshi, and I like Caves of Qud

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 minutes ago

Total opposite for me. Could get lost in Kenshi, I watched a review on qud in bought it and was like uhh wtf do I do lol

[–] [email protected] 8 points 18 hours ago

Same. I gave Kenshi a try and it didn't click for me. Caves of Qud though, that game is pure unmitigated crack for me. Live and drink, friend.

From what I've been able to gather, it's basically a sandbox. Imagine if F:NV had no main quest but allowed you to create your own faction. You're just unleashed onto the wasteland to do whatever and let everyone else respond to it.

That is to say, much of the fun comes from building drug running bandit empires.

Or just killing all the big bads, which is basically all but tinfist.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

That would actually be awesome.

I like Kenshi a lot. But it really feels like Gothic in that the start of any given character more or less feels identical. Same steps to get to the point where you can start doing the stuff that actually makes the game really fun. A lot of CRPGs in the 00s/early 10s had that problem and Kenshi ramps it up to 16.

As long as I can punch the arms off of my enemies I am happy

[–] [email protected] 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

As long as I have to be "mostly dead" a few dozen times before I can survive the easiest fight, I am happy.

Remember the first time I played I went to fight a goat and got absolutely brutalized. I loved kenshi, but I can understand why some didn't. Building a huge base a pumping out hash was my crowning achievement. Then the religious freaks showed up and my tower guys killed everyone. Later I found some band of 30 mis-programed bots that I would take with me and they killed anything around me. Ahh....such a great game.
