Is Kenshi a good game Yea Forums? Looks like a brutal RPG and gives me Mount and Blade vibes

He was serious, it actually is somewhat similar to DF

Good thing we lurked for a day before shilling our diarrhea game right guys? Now we know all the Yea Forums lingo so we can fit in, just say dilate if someone calls us out for the worthless faggots we are haha.

you sound upset, did a bunch of starving bandits eat your bonedog

Enjoying this game requires an IQ over 105.
It's an open ended squad based stat grind sandbox game. It lacks agency and objectives so you have to create your own story and motivations. Most people spend months with their save

128 IQ here, I found it shit.

For me, it is somewhere between these two.
I played it for hundreds of hours, but I never actually had fun. I was always chasing fun, but it never happened. The world is too ugly. There are too many bugs despite it being developed for 12 fucking years. The races are cool, the fighting is pretty cool, and I loved how leveling works. You get beat down over and over and eventually become powerful enough to actually conquer the world.

why is it boring?

it's a good game, BUT
there's not much content and the optimization sucks
would still recommend

He says there's a minimum IQ. He did not say that meeting the minimum means you will find the game fun.

t. a man who thinks youre lying

Damn you're dumb, see .
And I totally respect your opinion but you should treat your ADHD

If I was lying I'd have said something over 140, but yes I am more intelligent than you, and yes you should feel insecure.

You Kenshi shills need better shill training, you get way too angry when someone shits on the game, completely exposing yourself. I hope the dev didn't spend too much on you.

>Travel for days across desert, acidic rain and rust filled wastelands, some swamps and a forest, only to find a town made from the same walls and 4 buildings every other town has.

Yuck, yikes, yowza. Not a rewarding experience.

Who hurt you?

It's hard to put into words but essentially what this guy said. The idea behind the game and its mechanics is great. But actually putting them into action just feels off for me. Like I am always chasing the idea of a fun neat encounter, but I never found it. Again, super interesting world but the actual gameplay just feels like I'm waiting for the fun to eventually arrive, yet it never does.

One of these days I might give it a second chance. I really have no desire though. Steam says I have 11 hours of gameplay. But those 11 hours felt like an eternity. And not in a good way.

I wouldnt say it requires a high IQ. Mostly it just requires you to have some imagination

sometimes people like to tell lies that are plausible

>IQ over 105 is high

Its pretty good if you are creative and can make your own goals. The downsides are that the game is really ugly and everything looks super samey, so exploration isnt so rewarding. But other than that its fun. Definitely pirate the game and try it to make sure you like it before purchasing.

Would be 10/10 if it weren’t for the stat grinds, literally takes hours of repetitive shit before you can do almost anything

It's a squad-based RPG or a city builder but on the scale of a small outpost
You can get as much as thirty people in your group but imagine assigning them to different labors like trading and farming while your main party is going out hunting or raiding
Then bandits attack your outpost while scavengers attack your traders and your main party is currently facing a tough battle with giant bugs

>first 75 hours are a tutorial better watch 17 youtube videos, keep a Yea Forums thread up along with the wiki if you want to know what you're doing.
I gave it 20 hours and accomplished nothing. If I ever go back in I'm bringing my friend Cheat Engine along with me. No more getting molested by beasts in the jungle! No more!

>first real character
>cannibal hunter start
>me and partner get shit kicked in and thrown into cages
>both trying to get the cages unlocked
>before my partner can get his cage unlocked the cannibals decide to hack him apart and eat him
>watch in horror as he begs for his life as they slowly mutilate him
>fuck this can't wait any longer
>make a break for it
>chase ensues with around 10 cannibals following me
>my pursuers manage to strike me from time to time during the chase
>legs are taking the brunt of the damage don't know how much longer I can keep the chase up when I cross a group of cannibal hunters
>they dispatch the cannibals chasing me relatively easy
>notice the cannibal chief is laying there injured missing his leg
>has a 10000 cat bounty
>heal him up and take him prisoner

What a fucking ride. I hauled his ass to some town called fist of okran or some shit. But I can't figure out how exactly to turn in this bounty..

That's a retarded approach and only really applies to crafting (which in my save I never needed). Your characters get stronger as you play, and well, if they die before becoming great fighters and bled to death or were eaten alive, tough luck

Walk into a police station and talk to someone there while carrying him.

Why cant you just control a party member if your MC dies?

>check out Kenshi, decide to buy it, but hold on for a couple of days
>start seeing how retarded the devs shills are (ref. this thread)
>decide not to buy it
great work, you fucking faggots, now your dev lost another sale!

You have to bring him to the police in any major town. Examining the "bounty" window on that character will tell you who's looking for him. Alternatively you can put him in a cage at the police station and will also get automatically paid

But you can.

You can, there is not really a MC.

>people should not market their game
What is wrong with you?

Only a shill cockroach would support shill tactics, no human would respect such a disgusting act. Go away shill.

except this isnt a shill thread

this is the cringiest LARP I've ever seen. 10/10

I never said that, you low IQ fool. Take a look at the shills in this thread. If you still don't understand what's wrong with their shill tactics you're actually retarded and should seek help.

You can literally go into the construction set and change your stats. Alternatively just download mods or make a custom race with high stat growth.

>you can fix the game for them
Did Bethesda make this game?

>I'm a dumb faggot so everyone is a shill
Oh fuck off /pol/nigger

>I'm a dumb faggot so everyone is /pol/
Oh fuck off /shill/nigger

I often see people comparing it to Warband, and in a way they are similar but the game is kind of its own thing in terms of both, issues and qualities.

The game seriously lacks content, very few faces, and general character variation, no buildings(every town is made up of the exact same ones), no dialogue, no real story(devs try to hide this by saying "the world does not care about you" but it's just an excuse). In the end there is just no point to playing this game.

>fix
Are you braindead? The game is fine as it is, I just showed you a way to improve your experience. I seriously doubt you've even played the game.

>instead of using my brain I'll call everyone a shill
Sounds like /pol/, now kill yourself

Why are Kenshi shills so hostile and aggressive?

>instead of using my brain I'll call everyone /pol/
Sounds like a shill, now kill yourself

Jesus Christ why are anti-Kenshi shills so butthurt. Who even pays you?

Making Kenshi shills literally froth at the mouth is payment enough.

lmao engange in intercourse, involuntary celibate

Why are you even in this thread, shill?

Why do PCfags play these horrible janky looking games? You could play this on a toaster.

The building in the game is shit.
The grinding in the game is shit.
The combat in the game is shit.
The gameplay in the game is shit.
Its shit.

Kenshi shills are exceptionally cringey.

Okay.
Okay.

Not that guy but Kenshi is very grindy and most of the time you're either running away from stuff or avoiding it all together. This might sound cool until you realize that the world is a giant bland open wasteland (with a few neat spots, but not many) that has absolutely terrible pathfinding so you have to micromanage your movements or risk sprinting straight through yet another group of enemies you need to run away from.

Most Kenshi veterans know that in order to stand a chance in a fight you have to spend literal hours grinding your dudes away by either having them carry rocks around or just get your ass kicked and hope you don't bleed out. This can be made easier if you recruit more people for your freakshow squad but then you realize all the new recruits also suck and have an equal chance to get their asses handed to them.

Base building is cool but requires resource gathering (Which takes fucking forever) and then you have to deal with near-constant raids as bandits whom you have no hopes of beating come and destroy all your food and steal all your shit.

Eventually you'll become powerful enough that you can start fighting things and winning, until eventually you'll be pretty much unstoppable. At that point though you've wasted probably hundreds of hours to get to that point and there really isn't much to do in the "end game" besides either slaughter everyone or take on late-game bosses which are just reskinned enemies.

Why so upset? It's almost as if you're the actual dev and you can't even afford shills, so you do it yourself. That is so sad.

Why are the Kenshi shills so fucking dedicated, and why are they so mad when people criticize their janky 6/10 game? Autism?

I recommend trying the game vanilla first then looking at all the mods. A lot of mods are kind of unbalanced in terms of armor and weapon quality, but even then the content they add is great.
I'd suggest the Faction Expansion series, NWMD and a good nude mode.

Why are there so many people shitting on this game itt? I would understand if kenshi threads were constantly getting spammed, but I havent seen a kenshi thread in awhile.

This user said it best.

>NWMD and a good nude mode.
have sex

because of the amount of time it takes for most people to realize it's not a good game.
After 80 hours of doing nothing expecting something fun in the end you find out there is nothing. That makes people regret the time they wasted on it and very likely to shit on the game in those threads.

Because literally every thread the shills claim the game is like Mount & Blade when it is nothing at all like the game, they're using a game universally praised by Yea Forums, to sell their less than mediocre shitheap. Disgusting practices like that deserve to get shit on.

I simply hate how underwear looks like

Retards usually spend > 50 hours before realizing the game is not for them

I gave in to the constant shilling and pirated the game a few months ago but haven't played it. I loved m&b but mainly for the combat and interesting units, not the politics and faction wars since everything feels somewhat similar. I'm in the process of installing now, will I like it?

IT. IS. NOTHING. LIKE. M&B. DUMBFUCK.

Why the fuck are you seething this hard about people playing the game? That user pirated the game, which is exactly what anyone should do. Find out if they like the game or not.

As far as the M&B comparison goes, i agree that they arent entirely similar, but im not sure what other game people can accurately compare it to either.

>but im not sure what other game people can accurately compare it to either.
How about the scent of fresh dogshit? That's what it is.

>The game is far from feature and content complete
Just get over it, it's dead

I will never allow a Kenshi thread on Yea Forums, I will shitpost it into the ground every time, the Kenshi shills sickened me and now they will suffer because of it.

lmao relax dumb nigger

shut up faggot

Get fucked shillscum, no 50c per thread salary for you.

Taleworlds will never release another game

Darkes Dungeon deserves the same kind of shitting on, but that doesn't seem to happen.

Darkest Dungeon is actually fun for at least a few hours, unlike this, and the shills don't try to leech off other game's popularity like lowlife parasites.

Damn, the tranny is still seething

Fair enough. This thing just reminded me of DD because it DD seems fun for a while but then you realize it's really boring.

You'll enjoy it if you can enjoy sandbox games.

Oh you fucked up, how will you shill your game on twitter now?

It reminds me of Mount and Blade
as in you can drop a 100 hours in it
and barely get anywhere in game

Hold still while I strangle you, shill

So how would you make kenshi better Yea Forums?

By refunding it

Do you like mining ore and walking through an empty wasteland? Then this will be your gotyay

Big tiddy anime girls.

130 iq here, there's almost nothing to do in the game

Because I bought it and will never see that money again

ourguy made a video on it a while back.
youtube.com/watch?v=wXo24imR_54
I've been considering getting it ever since he did this review because he's never recommended a game that I didn't love.

add a point to the game
add a story, can be a scattered piece it together like dark souls
different buildings for different factions
make building actually have a point to it/lead towards something
the game needs to have a point to it, it needs to lead somewhere, people need to get somewhere/do something in the 50h they play it instead of getting nothing for all that time they invested

>130 iq here lacking reading comprehension

>wanted to become the best smith in the land

wtf am i supposed to do now?

Gather all the meitou

Kenshi has a story.

does the optimization suck? i think the only times youll get a bad framerate is when you have to load assets from the disk(which is often) but should be mostly mitigated with an SSD

Get mad about it brainlet.

Sseth is the shit.

>add a story, can be a scattered piece it together like dark souls
they have that

It's feature complete

I managed to escape with both characters, human Male and shek female but having the two get into cells inbetween other prisoners, unlock their own cages and the others next to them. Waited till most of the cannibals were gone chasing some faggots, released the cages on the people next to our cells so they ran and chased them then quickly got out of ours and ran for it while they were chasing the others. Quit that run after making the mistake of setting up a outpost too early. New one was a human Male and hive soldier imprisoned at rebirth. Tried to same tactic after a while, hover escaped with a shek Male and female who joined him, one died to those red spiders, the other along the way when a patrol stumbled across them and beat the shit out of them. Only enough bandages for one so had to leave her to die. Got him to the hub and fed and healed up. Human broke out but had to have the hiver go about halfway with food and carry him, human was starving so much he kept passing out. Group of about 20 now and the hiver is missing his left arm, but they're both skilled martial artist, both with a "apprentice". Plan for them to eventually return to rebirth together and free all the slaves together and wage a war on the Holy nation.

where do i get good mechanical arms?for some reason i thought the hivers had them, but i only found economy arms and kept almost dying to spiders and shit

bring law and order back to the wasteland by expanding your empire to the 4 corners, organize a massive military, make armed, trained patrols, and bring safety and prosperity back to the land. That's the win condition.

Complex endgame gear/buildings that require unique items from all over the map
Maybe simple vehicles like a boat or land sail that require said unique items
One of the towns should have an arena and I'm surprised they never added one

I'm tempted to say more of a lot of things but mods can do most of those like more wildlife, more bosses etc.

It's fun but it's not really much of a game... like there's zero skills, abilities, or anything truly interesting you can do. There's minimal scope for tactics. It's just a good sandbox to project your own RP narrative over more than anything.

No way, fag.
