And that's the main problem of the game.

If you love Act 1 and 2, then Act 3's style may not be your thing, and if you want a game of Act 3's style you'd probably have quit playing in Act 1 or 2. The ball got dropped pretty hard on the 'know your audience' front.

Perfectly said and agreed. I came for the story, humor, girls, scenes, and was really involved to the plot. I could not wait to see the story progress.

Suddenly, the update comes out and I downloaded it right away. Act 3 starts, I literally said, "What the F is this?". I expected Corrupted Kingdoms, not a turn-based pixel RPG that seems to be developed by a 14 year old boy! The story has stalled, the districts I do not give a shit about, you are locked out from everything you "earned" by progressing through the story.

As you said, disconnected with the audience and not even Arc can explain what he was thinking when he did this! It would be a cool novelty it if was 10-15 minutes (at most!). Now you have to do 3-4 fights per district to get "rewarded" by a head-swap repeated scene that is utterly repetitive and not hot even the first time.

No story progression, characters simply missing, no Morgana, no children. Even if he brought them all back and kept the game like this, I hate what has happened and I cannot stand it for longer than a fight or two.

Ran out of ideas, trolling, someone else bought and took it over who has a weird pixel RPG fetish? No answers but apparently this is the "new" CK and it is here to stay, whether the customers hate it or not! I was supporting him for a long time, but not using the product any longer and hard to support what I hate.

As you said yourself, total audience disconnection and not what anyone expected. The feedback has been abysmal and I am willing to bet most people would say they are waiting for the original story and game type to come back. When you have to fix and change the fighting system 30 times in a few months, and it is still lame and repetitive, there is obviously nothing worth having with it.

Never seen a game do such a drastic turn for the worse than this, of any genre! This is like taking Shadow Of Mordor, Ace Combat 7, or Diablo 4 and turning it into a game about sewing or knitting.

Rather late to the party but unfortunately I've been busy... Enjoy!

Note: ArcGames recommends a fresh install for this build. Might be better just to re-baseline...

personally i am sick and tired of seeing baby arm sized penises, it says to me the guys who like that kind of thing are compensating for the obvious and only reason. No offense meant at all, it's just not very realistic that almost every male in these avn's have to have ridiculous sizes.

There is always WVM which has also done a massive u-turn from what was expected in season 2. Now the idiot wants to remake s1 to be inline with something no body wants. Honestly these developers are going to ruin the whole concept of supporting them and other developers the way they are behaving. You can't trust them to even do the right thing mid way through a game, because he had a massive brain fart and decided to change it for the worst, but in his mind he thinks its the best idea he has ever come up with, or more likely, on purpose. probably lost a lot of his patrons and supporters, and it's his way of getting back at them..but it can also affect future devs who deserve to be supported, but won't get it, thanks to these idiotic decisions..why break what was not broken?

@ Rick_Sim

You are absolutly right. The turn in act 3 made a lot of long time players, like me, stop playing the game. I wonder if its still arc who dev the game, he newer get to the mike. I have seen other game turn into scamming missions, where the dev drive in circles, doing nothing than small fix and changes, but get a fine incom from supporters, just look at "The Loud House" its unplayable and the dev stopped use F95 in september, only use his own homepage, in french. And people still support him.....

I love CK until act 3. Why dev changed the whole thing in act 3 stay in the dark, and he never gave an explanation, we only get "news" from one CluckPover caracter who in a way talk for the dev, better he got to the mike himself.

All you need to do to "hear him at the mike" is to look at his weekly public posts on his Patreon. (He now seems to have settled on a two-weekly schedule, where releases for subscribers are on a Monday and then for the public are on the following Monday.) Yes, the heavy combat emphasis at the start of Act 3 was probably a mistake, but he's largely rowed back from that over the last couple of months, and in recent updates there's been lots of character and story stuff again. About the only characters that we are still waiting to reconnect with are those on the far side of the Nexus, but it seems like that can't be far away..

The game has been like this for nearly a year now. The fact there is like 30 districts, which take 3-4 wins each to "conquer" with a lame, juvenile "horny" battle system. I mean, he designed it like this so not sure how anyone can say the "heavy combat emphasis was probably a mistake". The game did not write itself and he has had a LONG time to fix this now! I mean, any real one would have received the feedback, realized this was not the right way to go, and worked on bringing back the game as it was and progressing the story. Nope, add dice and other nonsense and keep on making people wait for game updates.

This is like starting a book about World War 2, taking months of reading it, getting to the good part, and then the book suddenly turns into poetry. If you wanted a book about poetry, that would have been the book you started reading in the first place. Or watching a Horror movie and getting to the good part, then turning the movie into a teen comedy. As

I would not play a turn-based combat pixel game featuring head-swap porn "rewards" with women who have no backstory and repetitive porn rewards. That is not the game I started, or asked for. Not to mention, all that time and effort getting though ACT I and ACT II, with all the stuff I acquired playing through it, suddenly being taken away. Waiting many game updates over years to progress.

This was a story-based AVN game, and that is what drew all his fans and support, not to mention money! AVN games take effort and time to go through. You progress the story, have to find the girls and build your relationships with them. Then, you have to wait for multiple game updates to further the story, which can take a long time. Often years, and years in this case.

Only for Arc Games to say, "Well, let's throw in this repetitive, childish, boring pixel battle game with lazy rewards and call it ACT III!" If it was a 2-3 fight thing and then the story continued, I would have thought it was pretty neat. Nope, it takes 3-4 battles every district to "get rewarded" and progress, plus there are many districts. Too many to remember, and the girls you "defeat" are forgettable fodder and mere head swaps of the last girl you "defeated". Meanwhile, all that time and effort you spent is on the back burner, the story is thrown out the window, you cannot even be with the women like Gwen that you are not locked out from. You got to defeat them districts, or do what I do and turn the shit off!

This is not arguing with you by any means, it just frustrates me to no end that this was the decisions made after waiting all those game updates over all that time! Meanwhile, I am playing and supporting other AVN game developers that know how to focus their games and not switching the game format for no apparent reason.

Can't speak to the first two, but regarding Diablo 4... remember Blizzard is a company that added a panda bear race to world of warcraft...

I'm a user of F95, why do i have to listen to him on his patreon page. Thats why i drag "The Loud House" game into my input, he only use his homepage, and his game will end up as abandoned on F95, which isnt a problem for me, its unplayable, even the VIP verson is sh.. If a developer want or wishes me to play his game, then use F95 to communicate with the players.

I will give an example on how bad it can go, and just to clarify i dont compare the dev of CK with the compagny mentioned. WarGaming have severe games: World of Tanks, World of Warships and World of Warplanes among those i have been playing, still play WOWS (look for gnist0s. Wireless operator from the Danish Navy). In august i think it was, they closed their forum with 3 days warning, and now only communicate with the playerbase on social media like FB, X and so on. Reason for it is, that they dont like critisism and dont want to listen to the players (WG is a russian compagny, but they have exported their administration outside Russia and Belarussia, if not then players in memberstates of the European Union may not play their games (you know; pay to win)).
A citizen of Rom once said: "divide et impera" or "divide and rule". Now WG can pick the media that give the words they like, but thats not nessecarely the majority.

Im a senior citizen (retired from danish armed forces) and now i want to go to bed, it have been tooooo late already, have a nice day where ever you may be living :sleep: zzzzzzzzz
