@@samuelcaron2256 While i do agree with you, ubisoft did that same shit when it was in her prime and no one said nothing because at that time they were releasing good games. Since its the second game from a company that made a awesome first game, people dont care. But no doubt its a shit practice.
This video is actually going to put a dent on their sales. What seems like basic features seem to be missing on day 1. It's not like people keep replaying single player games, specially with the crowded backlog nowadays.
"It's not like people replay single player games" is a genuinely insane thing to say lol. Ask Skyrim fans or FONV fans if they replay the games. Or Kingdom Hearts/Final Fantasy fans. Or Dark souls or Elden Ring fans. Or people who played Witcher 3 or Cyberpunk. Or how many new characters BG3 fans have rolled up.
Taking out content from the main game in order to gain positive support for a free DLC with that missing content is not a practice that should be celebrated.
features not being available at launch seems really weird. At that point warhorse should make it an early access release. I was expecting to be able to play hardcore mode instantly :(
The plans seems to have always been to release a few weeks/months after release. Early access is just a definition that would hurt the game especially as it's basically just used for PC games. But you could see it a pseudo early access if you want and wait for the hardcore update before playing. It's definitely gonna be way more polished than most early access games. The first game if anything could've released as early access with how many bugs were there at launch but it still did fine with critics and players.
I don't think that's the case. KCD1 came with barber options, it's probably going to be more cosmetics kinda like how the witcher had they're own Barber dlc even though they had some options in game.
@@SemperSalam then don’t play it? They could have released a month later but there’s probably people who want to spend some time in the game who aren’t bothered about the features coming down the line…

Roadmaps and all are cool but if the game isn't launching in EA why isn't hardcore and barbershop in there at launch. I'm a professional hater and loved the first game but also I think that's a valid question
@Pakinov yeah like features you added in game 1 shouldn't need more time to work in game 2 its just weird and comes off as like the only weird spot on what will probably be the best RPG sim this year
