Huge fan of the docs and this game in particular. I wish you would have touched on moderation in the game as well. Chivalry has one of the most toxic communities I've seen and there's either no or abhorrently slow moderation to the in-game chat.
Goodness, the screaming is so infectious even just watching it, and the description of things like making mistakes and the anticipation of death are spot on. I remember when the first mod came out on Steam, that was around the same time that Garry's Mod 2007 hit Steam before Gmod 10 did. Such good times even back then! Such a fun documentary, thank you so much!
I would love to see you guys do a series on DCS. It would be interesting to see how they go about making a realistic sim, and how it differs to a more traditional game, plus I wonder what they think about getting new players up to speed because it's pretty daunting at first. Anyway always nice to see an episode by you guys, keep up the great work!
Chivalry's Definition: “In short, that's what chivalry is - a choice. The choice to do the right things, for the right reasons, at the right times.........With huge fucking swords."
I think it'd be super neat if other developing houses were able to throw tons of money at the team behind Chivalry to develop their swordplay. Imagine not just Sea of Thieves with Chivalry's system slotted in, but also TES: 6!
The problem with SoT swordplay: doesn't matter if you button mash or time your swings, you get the same animations regardless. I understand it though. They don't want 1 man to kill 4 people so easily (though doable).
I got this game a few days ago. It is truly one of the best gaming experiences I have ever had. I say that as a guy in his 30s who has been playing games since I was a very little, as my dad has always been a PC gamer. I legitimately CANNOT urge you enough to pick this game up.
im surprised there was no mention of the mount & blade series, as they came out at the same time (first game came out year after the half life mod, second game came out in 2010) and though it was a bit buggy and janky, i would say it was just as innovative as chivalry, mordhau and kingdom come
Yet another great piece I hope y’all do one on The Cycle. The game has had such an insane evolution in terms of design and now, with its latest iteration, it exploded in popularity. Plus their communication is top notch. A breath of fresh air (so far at least). Uncovering the thoughts behind the evolution, and its development would be extremely interesting see.
So glad TB never lost the fun and humor with the VO lines etc over the years. Chiv2 feels like the best of their older games in a modern package. Edit: Feel some GoW coming.... Hope Cliff found some time for it!
Great stuff Danny and crew. Love ya still using The Point style of wearing crappy costumes xP I haven't played any Chivalry games but they seem like a blast. Thanks again mate o/
23:29 The reason I stopped playing Chiv 2 was because of Auto-Team balance when im on the winning team and high or top of the scoreboard. And the hacks that have not been addressed where an entire match can be lost if someone exploits a whole where they can hide the final boss character, or go to the beginning of the map outside of the spawn zone of everyone else runing the entire game MULTIPLE times.
When you get auto-balanced, nothing is preventing you from simply changing back to your original team. The running outside of the map exploit has been fixed.
Oh nice, always fun to hear that. We try not to just cover the most popular games all the time as interesting design discussions can come from everywhere. But it's always nice to hear we hit somebodies favorite.
@@NoclipDocs thank you. You've already hit many, many favorites through the years. And now just finished watching this. Another of many clips I loved watching.
Great doc! Nice seeing Steve! Oh man these guys have come such a long way! I was part of the beta team when they were just a half-life 2 mod. Fun days!
Even though this is a documentary, this has some teachings in them. It's not fully in-depth like Game Makers Toolkit but deep enough to make you think and make you understand how things work and how the developers came up with ideas and solutions to proplems, problems that are not really problems but they had to identify that if every sound has the same weight to it it's a problem because you can't distinguish between it. It might not be realistic but for a game that's something really important. I love how they paid attention how to convey meaning only through sound, really clever. And the name "Danny of Dwyer" is fun :D
I wasn't a big fan of the first standalone Chivalry game. I played it a bit, but I was one of the people just getting crushed. Chivalry 2 definitely brought down that barrier to entry and I love it. I've been playing it constantly since launch. It's one of my favorite games of the year.
still wish they woulda added the butcher/cannibal class I suggested in alpha: physically weaker maa variation with only limbs and butcher knives as weps, severed head as throwable, special lets you consume a limb to gain small amount of health back or "cook" one to make med bag like other classes. Woulda played similar to the backline vanguard class but always thought that one needed some variation in incentive (class and special pushes towards throwing knife play and wanted one that pushed towards backlining specifically)
Please do a documentary on returnal! Seeing their Journey from doing smaller Indie arcade games to doing a masterpiece like returnal would be fantastic
I feel like, when it comes to designing swordfighting, the Mount & Blade series has done a far better job. It moves from first to third person (with first person being an option, but generally considered to be restrictive), and really shines with a simple yet extremely effective and deep combat system. While the games themselves are spotty (the first two games in the series are rather janky, and the most recent version, Bannerlord, has a terrible multiplayer design), its combat system allows for in depth duels, large scale fights, and good mounted combat. Certainly worth a look, I think.
Try PVK II. Only a handful of players, but it's a free HL mod. Basically the same combat system as M&B, with the addition of 'perfect parries' and 'chip damage' (on charged attacks). Definitely my top 3 MP game, not just melee combat one.
Games: "Man! Swords are freakin' IMPOSSIBLE to properly implement in games!" VR Games: "What's so hard about it? Just specify which areas of the sword model do damage, then set the location, rotation and orientation of the sword based on the position of the controllers in 3D space! Easy!"
Nice video I'm doing a sword fighting game on my channel,the swords are actually quite good in physics term's as they can be dodged and have a set animation time that can be dodged
Try PVK II. Only a handful of players still playing, but it's a free HL mod. Basically the same combat system as M&B, with the addition of 'perfect parries' and 'chip damage' (on charged attacks). Definitely my top 3 MP game, a not just in the melee combat category.
I love this game. It's rare that a game comes around with a combination of satisfying gameplay, gorgeous maps, and just plain fun. Sweatlords can dissect the mechanics and the class/weapon balance all day but there are tons of games which have come close to perfection in those areas but still lack that fun factor.
1:13 I just really hope you are gonna make a documentary on the creators of Kingdom Come: Deliverence, They are The number one realistic First person combat with a sword game
Thank you for sitting through that accent. Head to Patreon.com/noclip if you fancy watching the outtakes.

What’re you talking about?! I upvoted it soon as I heard that accent..
That accent was painful 🤣
Jolly good, old bean! Jolly good!
The people demand more accent!
This was great. Really enjoyed it.
That intro was incredible
You must be the new recruit. Classic :-)
Love those players who treat missing limbs as just a flesh wound.
Same
I'll be even better, apparently. In the latest patch, you can now headbutt if you've lost both arms and it'll keep you alive if you land hits.
Me earlier. May have lost an arm, still killed 9 people before went down. If going down I'm taking them with me!
Are you telling me... There are more ways to treat missing limbs?? HERESY.
Danny it's okay if you want to use your knight-voice in all future docs.
Two documentaries in a span of 1 week! So glad to see my notifications popping up this much with a new Noclip video!
We're trying our best over here! Thanks for subbing!
I'm very much enjoying how Danny says, "Chivalry".
Goodness, the screaming is so infectious even just watching it, and the description of things like making mistakes and the anticipation of death are spot on.

26:28 im laughing so hard at that battlecry voice "MY ARM, WHERE'S MY ARM!'
Played Chiv 1 back when it came out a bunch and loved it. Picked up Chiv 2 on sale over Xmas 2023 and absolutely loving it. So much depth and fun.
I just might have to get Chiv 2 now too. I absolutely loved Chiv 1 back in the day. Hilarious and fun
I just love this game so much, the amount of detail, love and expert design in every mechanic. Its perfection. And Its only going to get better!
chiv 2 is just chiv 1 but worse

I’m still praying for a 343i NoClip documentary about Halo Infinite
Us too
@@NoclipDocs Hopefully after the game releases it’ll give them some free time and the ability for you guys to collaborate. The people need it
Swordplay is a huge issue right now in Sea of Thieves, I'd love to hear Rare's take on the issues with swordplay design.

Didn't know about Chivalry 2 at all. Bought it after watching this doc
No shade to Chivalry 2, Sir Danny of House Noclip was the absolute star of this one 😂
Another excellent documentary. Thank u
Dude! Did Xmas come early this year!?! 2 Noclip video game docs in less than a month!?! HOLY MOLY!! ❤️
I'm all for Danny cosplaying!
The opening bit was humorous. Well done old bean.
What fantastic captions! You should double the pay of the very talented person who did the captions! They deserve it.
I can’t say why but Danny nailed the Perfect knight/swordsman voice!
This was your best documentary yet!

People that down vote are a mystery to me - thanks for this Danny!
I had like 500hrs into the first Chilvary. This video def got me to buy the second one and jump back into it.
Great doc! Love chivalry and can't wait to see how they evolve this game.
if your covering Mount & Blade eventually I am SO READY!

Knight Danny voice is the best thing ever
I love the commitment!
I haven't played it since release. DUnno why. I absolutely love it. Gallancourt looks amazing. I'll have to hop back on it soon!
this doc is the best advertisement for this game, I already can't wait to go buy it
I have almost 500 hours in this game. It is so fun. I don't think people understand how creative you can get in fights. Please keep up the great work!
shouts out to Frank for recording some gameplay, was cool to see your username in the footie. keep it up!
Its crazy how many game developers started/were inspired by Half Life. It really shows how evolutionary that series was
The sound design of this game is so great on ps5 3d headphones it's unbelievable
If you like swords and screaming like a crazy person get this game lol
There were some half decent (partly) melee combat mods for HL1/2 I enjoyed. The Battlegrounds and Pirates, Vikings & Knights come to mind.
You killed me :( 11:28
Lmao
noooo y'all killed the streamer XD
Enjoyed this a lot. All so the accent cracked me up.

Devs seems like cool people. Might try this game, looks fun.
Pls do, I never have had so much stupid fun. Just don't get too competitive because then you might lose the fun which makes the game harder to play
Please do a documentary on returnal! Seeing their Journey from doing smaller Indie arcade games to doing a masterpiece like returnal would be fantastic
Another noclip doc another banger !
I like how narrator wields the Witch-king of Angmar sword.
Honestly, forgot that Chivalry 2 is technically out and thought this was a preview.

Try PVK II. Only a handful of players, but it's a free HL mod. Basically the same combat system as M&B, with the addition of 'perfect parries' and 'chip damage' (on charged attacks). Definitely my top 3 MP game, not just melee combat one.
Chiv 2 also have fp or tp. Both have its own advantage and disadvantage
The voice acting is amazing in this game
Reminded me of that Neal Stephenson game, "Clang". Wonder if there's an interesting story there.
Possibly the most fun I've ever had in an FPS gratitude sirs!!! 😎😎😎

Super funny intro. Loved it!
I just wish they would bring back the 'come hither' voice line. i still view that as such a great loss.
Danny, did you actually try and deliver those lines seriously and give up? You were clearly having too much fun 😂😂
Kingdom Come would be so awesome to have a doc on :D
Nice video I'm doing a sword fighting game on my channel,the swords are actually quite good in physics term's as they can be dodged and have a set animation time that can be dodged
I think you just sold me on a $40 game. Thank you, NoClip for this investigation :)
Mount&Blade (although 3rd person, you can play FP as well) combat system is simply unmatched. It's simple with insanely high skill ceiling.

"you know you've made a mistake half a second before you die" shows archer firing arrows into a mob of 8 enemies
I love this game so much.
Great documentary! I'd love one with Mordhau for comparison, it would be cool to hear the differences in terms of designs!
Swords are an elegant weapon for a more civilized age.
Blade of Darkness... have the best Mele combat system, and can be played in first person.
I wanna see one on the combat of the Vermintide games.
