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.
While I do agree this update isn't AS bad as some makes it out to be, it's still on the worse side of the end, the time it took certainly does not help. And the dissatisfaction around here was not all due to this update along, but has been built up for a while now.
Let me try make of it about what's not working here:
I feel like the drop in quality of art doesn't seem like it would take less time to do,the repeatable scenes looks like it's still extravagantly colored, that doesn't make it feel like much time is been saved with them.
And judging from the non-repeatables, Nomo's art style shifting to a weird direction, which I don't really know how to describe it, that the colors are been too full?
Also speaking of saving time, he really should had outsource things like random human npcs and background (i.e the ones nobody really cares about.) I remember he also wasted a lot of time on those female human a few updates ago, he could really just outsource them and maybe only draw the faces himself.
And I think the major problem of this game if you compares it to Noxian Nights, is how empty the world feels, there are a lot of things that just don't do anything after certain point, like, how many shops are in the orc camp? what can you buy form them by now? Same goes for most other part of the camp, let along the world map. The minor characters in Noxian Nights although shallow in nature, still feel like characters, as they were constantly present, same could not be said about most of the minor cast, hell even some of the supposed major ones.
And the worst part of it is that the so called repeatable scenes are not even repeatable. Back in Noxian Nights there's always something you can do, some scenes to repeat other than continue the main story line, here there were a few of them but if you progress though the game till this point, there hasn't been one for quite a while now.
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.
wait, if he's doing both those job, what do the other two guys do? there are still two others right?
