Honestly, the state of this forum is wild, not gonna lie. As a guy that has played lots of games here, KoD is a gem for sure. The update was not bad in my opinion. Yes, it added a few scenes and yes, the art in some of the scenes is not the same quality compared to previous scenes, but it is not as bad you are all making it out to be. In fact, it's quite good in my opinion. The repeatable scenes are supposed to be a small venture, which means a bit less quality art - and that is it. A bit less quality art.
The story and writing? It's alright. I am a writer myself, and honestly, while I can see how people could describe it as bland - it's a developing skill the more you do it. It's not as bad as you'd expect from comments on here, but it's not amazing either. It's somewhere in the middle and that's alright. Nomo can't be an amazing artist and a screenwriter. And honestly? It's not horrible.
I had my doubts about the update. Numerous delays, broken promises and what not. Staved off my frustration until we saw it, and honestly? I think it was not bad at all. If what they are saying is true and there is supposed to be a quick fix after this one about adding scenes, fixing bugs and etc, it will be a good update. You cannot however, say that they haven't done any work.
They themselves said there is more to add and this is not the whole 8 month's worth of content. With various issues out of their control such as covid and others - I can see them having the issues and slowdown they are having. Radio silence isn't helping, but it also isn't helping to just bitch and moan on an update that added nearly an amount of 1/3 of the total scenes before the update itself.
Mind you, I am defending them now, because the criticism of the update in my opinion, does not come from objectivity, but from frustration. I too think the studio needs a PR guy, someone that lets fans know what the hell is going on, why are there delays, and if they are taking note of potential feedback. Maybe the three have circumstantial issues to not pick up the mantle of such a person, like being busy with stuff outside of the game and not being able to just pick up the chore of being their mouthpiece, so to speak. They desperately need one at this point.
I enjoyed the update, I enjoyed the content. If they add more in a month or two, well, that's going to be great of them. If not? I am not part of their studio and I couldn't possibly know when such an update would take place, but calling them liars and scammers is ridiculous in my opinion. Dislike the service? Stop paying for it. Speak with actions that are going to be heard, not with empty complaints on a forum that is used to pirate the game. Not paying for the service? Why should you even talk about how they are doing their job? They have made one of the best games I've played so far(Noxian nights), and they continue to do so with this, even at a snail's pace that it is.
