Kingdom Come: Deliverance

I don't think you'll find many people to defend the E.T. Atari game either. I played that game as a kid. It was the first time I learned a video game could totally suck.

Greatest game of all time.

You're drunk.

At least the ET game looked like it belonged on the technology of the era.

Superman looked like an original NES game.

[mirth]

That ET game was pretty bad graphics-wise, even by the standards of the day. And the game play was just atrocious.

[jamus34]

It was pixels. and not even a lot of them.

I've had ass-wiped toilet paper look better than the Superman game.

[mirth]

Trust me, I'm not trying to defend N64 Superman.

[jamus34]

Fair enough.

I remember ET in that vague little kid way in that it existed but I do not recall if I actually played it.

[SirAndrewD]

You're drunk.

Well, it is a Wednesday afternoon.

Meanwhile in Bohemia...

Isn't there a whole documentary based on the Atari ET game story? Apparently, it sucked so bad that Atari took all the copies of the game and buried them in a hidden landfill somewhere.

[Gusington]

^Yeah it's on Netflix.

I played the ET game when I was ~9 and even then I said to myself 'there has to be something better' and began to play Pitfall instead.

It was a lot better.

[SirAndrewD]

Meanwhile in Bohemia...

E.T. falls down a pit again. 

[Sir Slash]

And wasn't ET something $60 when it came out? Damn, there was some pissed-off people back then.   :pullhair:   Glad I wasn't one of them.

Honestly, I think JD made the right call for his gaming tastes, based on what I know. Yes, the game picks up in some ways, but it never ends up being more of an action based adventure over a medieval life simulator. i really don't think I see JD ever truly loving KCD...that's not a knock on his gaming tastes, or on the game.

Yep - I'm just not into it I'm afraid.

I need to be grabbed by a game right off the bat - by story, character, gameplay. Not necessarily looking for hack and slash - if the story is good enough or the character is interesting, it'll hook me. I wasn't grabbed by a single thing in the game.

I was exactly the same when everyone and their dog were trying to get me to read the Harry Potter books.
I gave the first one a spin and got a dozen pages in thought it was the most boring pap I'd ever read. It's obviously not pap for a few billion people but it just didn't click with me, doesn't appeal to me. Even watching the movies does nothing for me. I don't understand why it's so popular - and I am HEAVILY into Sci-Fi and Fantasy / RPG stuff too.

However, that tutorial in Kingdom Come - it is a bit dry and uninspiring. I can understand why it's tough to get past, but I'd say get past it and give the actual game a try.
