A debate is heating up among RPG enthusiasts about whether to dive into Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 (KCD2) or the newly remastered Oblivion. This discussion comes as some fans express concerns about KCD2’s slower pacing compared to Oblivion’s more straightforward approach.
Fans are torn, with many praising both games yet highlighting key differences. KCD2 offers a more interactive experience. As one commenter noted, "the world feels alive, all quests feel meaningful." Meanwhile, Oblivion boasts nostalgia and graphical upgrades that many find appealing.
Interestingly, KCD2 is seen as inspired by Oblivion, yet commenters believe it surpasses its predecessor in execution. One user stated, "KCD2 is immersive, vast, and intricate—it's a game changer for modern RPGs.”
Pacing and Gameplay:
KCD2 has a long setup but offers a fulfilling experience. One player remarked, "You go from mud peasant to knight, and every piece of armor feels earned.”
Oblivion, while still enjoyable, is criticized for feeling dated—"The gameplay still feels like it’s from 2007,” one user commented.
Character Interaction vs. Open World:
Players appreciate KCD2 for its detailed character reactions and unique quest approaches.
However, Oblivion offers a more traditional open world, which some players prefer for exploration.
Combat Mechanics:
Combat in both games has been noted as clunky, leading some to hesitate before buying either title. One user expressed frustration about gameplay mechanics: "Clunky combat is a no-go for a €70 game.”
