But still, KB is one of the best role-playing strategic games ever made!

(are the manufacturers Russian?)

I’ve never actually spoken to anyone who enjoys armored bikini’s or prefers it to legit armor. It’s more like- it’s always been there, might as well get used to it, it’s not going anywhere.

Complaining about armored bikinis (female or male) is waste of time any how. You may not like them, but the vast majority of people playing the game do. As long as Number of people who like armored bikinis is greater than or equal to number of people who complain about armored bikinis they will remain in games 4ever. (is 5ever longer than 4ever?)

Not I say people who complain not people who don’t like them but don’t say anything about it, those peoples voice will never be heard unless they speak up.

The Fool & Senethro: A crusade against armour bikinis is very noble indeed, but use your brain when picking games to assault. Complaining about skimpy clothes on Amelie in AP is like complaining about how unrealistic your plane is in Jets’n'Guns.

Also, the dragon does not grow, it always looks like a Pokemon.

I’ve finished it as a mage on normal and now is planning to try as a knihgt on hard. In some time. Sure, one has to relax. Trying not to make gameplay too easy developers made it too hard to pass at once without thinking every battle about the best strategy, troop choosing etc. I like it this way though. For whose who want it quick there is an easy difficulty option. Besides it is possible not to fight all monsters. Sometimes it requires timing to get past enemy toops making rounds. Personally I evaded many and not completed some quests.

I’ve not finished it, but i hardly take that as an insult to my enphusiasm to it as a product. I dont tend to ever finish civ 4 games, or rome total war. And yes, while this is a far more linear experience to me its still quite sandboxy.

I spent months playing the second and third level of hitman blood money, only finished it this year after years of owning it. In KB I keep restarting my character and not getting very far. But look…. Now i can cast a spell on my undead archers which turns them into the fantasy equivilent of an MG42.

How many of you that bought KB, managed to finish it? I got a good way in (to the land of the dead) but the repetitive nature of the battles sapped my enthusiasm. I’ve left it for a couple of months but I’ve no urge to go back.

Well, it would be interesting to know whom they get as translators. I’m from Russia myself and can say some things are translated very strangely. Sure, to translate puns is always difficult, but as to names of objects and things, they could do better. For example, the box of Rage imho is better translated as “the Ark of Rage”. The word that was turned into a “pandolin” in Russian has meaning between a “lizard” and a “dinosaur”. By the way the russian release is out already and here http://www.kingsbounty.ru/races.php
races and monsters are listed (in russain). Two of the lizard race are caled “brontor” and “tyrex”. And sure some sort of a dinosaur can be seen on the trailers.

If this doesn’t prove to be another hilarious-’em-up that allows for more comedy RPS articles I will be disappointed.

It doesn’t have ‘eXploit’, either, as that normally refers to building bases and mining/harvesting stuff. Which makes it a 2x game at most.

A demo? I’m still probably 15-20 hours from ending Kings Bounty, but will try that definitely.

The russian will be no trouble for me (…or so I thought before installing STALKER’s russian/ukranian version, I enjoy hearing people speak in their mother-tongue but couldn’t understand some parts of the quests, even though I’ve studied russian 5 years as a kid and my language is somewhat closely related)

If I finish KB this weekend, I might give you some thoughts on this demo.
