    I got the collector's edition and gold edition on steam. I usually don't do preorders and buy games on sale, but being czech and having participated in kickstarter for KCD i believe this is just way to go to support the devs.

    • @TheDutchTexanGames

      I only buy the games I really... REALLY want full price. That being said I remember KCD1 being something like $29.99 or $39.99. That is practically half off out of the gate for an amazing value. KCD2 is promising to be almost twice as big so the price reflects that. I am looking forward to exploring 1403 Bohemia again and get completely lost in it!

    My husband and I both pre-ordered as soon as it was available. The Gold Edition. We didn't even know about the Collector's Edition, or one of us would've ordered that. But we're looking forward to it, to say the least. My husband scheduled his winter vacation to begin the week of KCD 2 release. We can't wait. The first KCD is my favourite game of all time, so there was no question for me at all when it came to pre-ordering. (We also pre-ordered the first one.) We also don't pre-order games as a general rule, but both of the games are absolutely incredible and worth every penny.

    • @TheDutchTexanGames
      @TheDutchTexanGames  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      As luck would have it I will have that week off too. Take the same week off every year pretty much. When I saw the date and checked the calendar I was like: YES!
      Incidentally the sole reason I picked up KCD1 was the fact I had that week off and was looking for something to play. I had heard about KCD and how people complained about the combat. I decided to take a chance on it and after the first hour I was hooked. Played for hours every day.

    Usually im against pre-ordering but I can make an exception for companies with a good track record or of I know that the product will be good. You'll never see me pre-ordering anything from Bethesda EA or Activision but for companies like Warhorse and maybe Rockstar yeah I'll pre-order it by like the product. The real make or break of this seems to be if you can anticipate yourself liking the DLCs or not since that's what the Gold edition gives you. If you're not sure if you'll like the DLCs or anything, I'd say, wait for more information or don't free order the Gold edition

    • @TheDutchTexanGames
      @TheDutchTexanGames  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There is always a chance when it comes down to DLCs. But it no doubt is going to be cheaper to get gold vs getting the expansion pass later on or pay a-la-carte for the DLCs as they come out. And in KCD1 the quests added a lot of depth to the characters and the world so I expect the same.

      @@TheDutchTexanGames Yeah I really like the DLCs And I'm hoping the ones we get for kcd2 are similar to the ones from kcd1 I would especially love another from the Ashes type DLC. Yes it would probably be cheap to just get the Gold edition rather than buy them separately as they are launched but a royal 2.0 edition will be released at some point which will be like 15$ so it's also a patience factor. But if you're going to pre-order the game, the Gold edition definitely has more value for an extra 20 bucks. I'm curious what this Hunter pack and the seasons of Shields is about.

    • @TheDutchTexanGames
      @TheDutchTexanGames  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Those are both cosmetics and weapon related, I mention it in the video. The Hunter pack is no doubt going to help you in stealth missions and the seasons of shields is shield customization so the expectation is being able to create your own shield. I'll keep it simple with the heraldry of my birth town.

    I just know I will buy the Gold Edition before the year is over. Maybe even today since you are selling me on it.

      Hahaha! Yeah, I pretty much got fed up with that quest myself when the second day came and I had to follow the same routine. My Henry rotted in jail for 10 days after... Glad Warhorse gives you that option though, some games require quests like that to be played completely and that would have likely resulted in me putting the game down. I couldn't stand that quest.

      I respect you waiting. Just making sure there won’t be another delay maybe? I don’t think there will be. Part of the reason they moved it is probably the absolute glut of games coming out this year now. It’s going to limit those initial sales for some of those titles for sure.

      Probably not the main promo material, but it definitely is in the body where I found that picture. It is important to note the legend of Brunswick predates the events of KCD by at least a century. And while great helms fell out of favor they were still used in the 14th century so it fits. Although when it comes down to visibility? Always rocking a kettle hat here. So we'll be putting that great helm in storage (or... dare I say display if we get something cool as a base of operations?)

Dragon Age is a day one buy for me for instance and that is under the EA umbrella. COD I just don't trust anymore.They used to go hard on single player campaigns, but the more of them come out the more they are cookie cutter and focused on their multiplayer arm. Single player is second fiddle now and I really dislike that the gaming industry has gone that route (access pass, game pass, locked building materials in Fallout76, GTA+, anything to monetize the online portion).

      Cyberpunk was a mess with multiple delays which was just bad. Then it came out and was crippled with old hardware which made the experience bad for most PS4 and Xbox One owners. Never had a problem on PC. I had one bug where I had to reload a save and one time I had a cut to desktop and that was it.
      Warhorse hasn't done me wrong yet. A pre-order is a vote of confidence. I give that vote to Warhorse. They seem to be very much what the gaming industry used to be. They create something unique and something they love. And yes, I loved the first one so much that I couldn't wait to give Warhorse my dollars for the second one.
