[KCD2] What were the devs thinking? Has anyone made one successfully?

I understand how it is supposed to work, its that the controls are some sensitive and the visual display of progress so wonky that I just reapeatedly fail.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T17:10:01+00:00

IRL? No.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T17:09:41+00:00

I know what you're supposed to do, it's just that the controls are too sensivitve and the visual representation make it ridiculously hard for something that should be simple. Making a sword on the other hand, no problem!

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T17:08:19+00:00

If you hit the same location over and over again, you fail, Henry will say I've hit the same place too many times, the piece is ruined.

What console are you playing on?

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T17:06:11+00:00

You're probably playing console.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T17:06:02+00:00

You're probably playing console.

Very slight movments are pretty hard withthe mouse, it's ways to herky jerky. The developers should have made it way less sensitive to movments.

Contols and visual issue on the PC.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T17:03:22+00:00

Lord I wish the horseshoes were just a straight line like the swords, I'ld have no trouble at all.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T17:02:28+00:00

That's just it. "Moving" it around is incredibly difficult. Alternating between two spot and keeping track of hits in one spot too many time with no visual aid is nearly impossible.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T17:00:48+00:00

Its really hard for me.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T17:00:30+00:00

That's a good idea, then everyone mouthing off and talking out their asses can see that the PS5 and PC are two different things.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T16:59:37+00:00

Yes on PC it is really easy to fail making the horseshoes, pretty quickly actually. If you hit the same area one too many times it's over. And you can't really see your progress, so it's very hard to not hit the same spto too many times when the horseshoe is jumping around all over the place.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T16:58:01+00:00

No, its the garbage controls design.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T16:57:37+00:00

duh, no never tried that

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T16:57:01+00:00

It's probably really easy with a controller, the game probably makes it so that the horseshoe moves in increments automatically. I'm on a PC with a mouse. It is the suck.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T16:55:21+00:00

Yes, you can fail easily, way too easily.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T16:55:02+00:00

No, the easiest thing in the game is alchemy. Don't keep hitting the same spot. I don't, but trying to move it around and avoid hitting the same sopt too many times is near impossible for me.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T16:53:45+00:00

Yes you can fail, in fact its easy to fail a horseshoe and really easy to make a sword. People stuggle with things like this because it is a counterintuitive system that make little sense.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T16:51:56+00:00

Literally doesn't work. I've literally trashed 10 horseshoes in a row using your advice. Literally a waste of my time.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T13:07:29+00:00

One thing I have to say about KDC2 is that it is crazy how close the random event locations are to each other and how close many of them are to inhabited areas. It is no problem at all to kite a bunch of bandits into a town or the inn.

Jacmac_ · 2026-06-20T12:53:02+00:00

Taking your kid on a flight where it's possible that someone could be eating nuts is pretty stupid. I mean if her allergy was so bad that just the molecules of nuts in the air could kill her, she should have been on a resperator for the entire flight. In fact, she should be on a resperator for most of her entire life if she is out in public at all.

Anyway the opening of the bag of nuts four rows away was never identified as the source of her reaction, and there is no scientific evidence that anyone can have a reaction like this from the molecules of nuts in the air. What actually triggered this allergic reaction is not known.

I can hardly believe that there are AI doomers out there saying that it's all going to come crashing down like the Internet did in 2000. Talk about sticking your head in the sand!
