I was there when Tobi said that... It was glorious... LOL. Great to meet you and thanks for making me feel welcome too, meant a lot. And those bugs, I went through a lot of the same areas and my experience was pretty much bug free. Regardless playing through it with all of you under the same roof and the conversations that were had will forever be one of the great days in my personal gaming history.
KCD1 was the RPG we have been waiting for since mid 80's, man oh man, the hardware is miraculous now.... KCD2 is looking sooo good. Love how every small accomplishment feels so well earned, and dang it if ya don't get emotionally involved in building up that little nobody into a man eh?
KCD is one of the best RPGs I've played, can't wait for this one to release. Go play the first game if you haven't, it goes on sale for dirt cheap all the time.
Same here. How did you find KCD1 the first time you played it? I got it maybe a year after it came out and to be honest, it kicked my ass and I found it's learning curve quite intimidating at the time. I knew far less about the game and it's mechanics and foundations and I ended up quitting after dying repeatedly and so easily. I didn't return to KCD1 for maybe a year and by then the developers had ironed out many bugs and I was prepared to give the game another chance. This time I was armed with much more information about the mechanics of the game and an understanding that Henry himself was essentially a blank vessel and it was our responsibility to 'level this guy up'. Once I realised that, much fell into place. I'm onto my 3rd playthrough now, playing on Hardcore mode for the first time, having selected the minimum two debuffs to make things more challenging. So far I'm finding the game pretty much just as hard as normal mode, but being without a map means it can be quite challenging to locate yourself and your objective sometimes. Of course, one learns to orient using the position of the Sun before or after midday, so that helps, but still - it's a decent sized game world. Locating things in the forests can be VERY challenging without the map
@@DanielVerberne same here. I'd never heard of it and my friend told me to try it out. I'm normally very stubborn about trying new things (in terms of genres/themes etc.) but I read up on it and tried it out about a year after it came out while the Royal Edition was on sale. I'm glad I did. I loved the feeling of being next to useless at the start as it was pretty refreshing, and as you become better at things, so does Henry. Loved the story, the characters, the world, the depth of the game and how much love Warhorse clearly put into this passion project. I'm currently on my third playthrough so I can get my final trophy (Merciful) for platinum. 630 hours played in total 🥲
KCD is probably my favorite game ever. Since 2020, I have close to 3,000 hours throughout multiple playthroughs. I love the combat, I love the story, I love the grind to improve both my skills and Henry’s skills. I love the striving for ultimate realism and respect for history. I’ve never been more excited for a game to drop than I am for KCD 2. I don’t support many studios nowadays, but I’d support Warhorse for all of my life (unless they stop caring for the gamers).
I've only got 100 hours. I fell in love with the game though. I would like to do another playthrough but I just played and beat it in November last year. I'm definitely getting kcd2 day one. What would you recommend for a second playthrough? I was considering hardcore mode and not using the save mod. First time I played I 100 percent used the save mod. But yes I love the game. It's done just as well as red dead 2 in terms of immersion. Don't get me wrong obviously it's clunky (to be fair I felt like rdr2 also had clunky moments...). What I mean is that you can tell before rdr was made Rockstar clearly deep dove into American western history. They dove deep into LA 90s culture for San Andreas for example. Well that's exactly what warhorse did with kcd2. Just a love letter to the middle ages. I would be surprised if every Czech game didn't at least try it.
I got KCD1 on sale for $20 a couple years ago. I enjoyed it more than I ever did with Skyrim. I haven't been this excited for a game in years. Players new to the series absolutely should put some time into the first one. It will make the sequel even better.
You personalize your Henry by the weird small and large habits you develop. Do you go out of your way to wipe out your enemies? Do you steal all of the guards’ uniforms to prank them upon reaching a new town? Do you carry an obscene about of cheese around? Or are you like me and pretend you are a thief who actively eats out of peoples pots after stealing from the (resulting in nearly constant overeating). Or do you occasionally isolate guards who try to fine you to execute them and steal back the 100 currency they fined me despite having over 10k in the bank?
I kickstarted the game literally because Brian Blessed voiced a character in it, and was intrigued by the Realistic medieval combat, and my god was it worth it. Quickly became one of my favourite games ever. Pre ordered the collectors edition for this as soon as it was announced and cannot wait for it to arrive and i get to take in this wonderful game.
I've heard that kickstarters of the first game are getting a free copy of the second. Are you also getting one? I'm just curious if it's 1. Real and 2. For all Kickstart supporters or only those who gave a bigger amount.
@Voxdalian not all kickstarters, I can't remember how much you had to back on the original one, but there is certain backers that are getting it free yeah, which is a really awesome move by the devs.
No disrespect, but what is it about reviewers not playing the first game? Happy for your channel and all, but heck - I'm thinking about starting a gaming channel just so I too can play the next Warhorse Studios game at this point given the number of "I've never played the first game but hey... I got a review code for KCD2." Glad you are enjoying KCD2. Okay, glad you are playing KCD1...
Many people hadn't played the first 2 Witcher games and loved TW3. Getting opinions from all types of people is valuable, bith for the studio and people seeking out reviews.
@@DEUS_VULT_CROATIAthat’s a lot of projection on your part. I love the first game but uber Euro Jank doesn’t begin to describe it. Hell, i have encountered so many bugs and had to replay HOURS of gameplay due to game crashes, bugs, getting stuck on in game geometries and falling through the earth. I love this game, but there are plenty who would NEVER want to put up with those problems.
Well I beat the game, but I missed so much expansion content so I’m starting KCD all over again. Because it’s still an amazing game. I bought the gold for KCD 2 so I’ll be playing both sequentially, allowing for updates for KCD 2 hopefully my I9-10850k and 7900xtx is enough for 3440x1440p ultra @ 60fps 😊
Glad to hear the performance is better lol. I picked up 1 after seeing trailer and trailer reviews on 2, and I've not got the most up to date specs, it's def not a potato with a 3080 and a i9-10850k and dip to like 40fps in the first game while in big cities.
regardless of what you do today or tomorrow buy the first game and sit down and play you will thank me later. and you can read in the first game but you have to go to a scribe and sit down and learn it.....
The depth you're talking about regarding item and character stats is actually the foundation of a good RPG. If some people find it too difficult to follow and just can't be bothered learning how to use these systems, they can still find joy and succeed in the game by paying attention to other mechanics like combat, and they can still power through most situations. So the game is not doing some gate keeping in terms of RPG stats numbers or anything. You'll just have a better time and have way more variety if you get into the game and try to understand how everything works. That's where KCD works and Baldur's Gate doesn't. Trying to play BG3 without getting deeply involved into the numbers and without reading descriptions all the time (especially what combat actions do behind the appealing names) will make for an absolutely miserable experience.
10:23 soo.. in the first game Henry takes an arrow right above the knee after leaving Skalitz and here he is finally awake, after trying to cross the gates of Trosky castle?
As a completist I have to play the first one I got it last year for only 5 dollars but deleted so many time cause I was bad 😂🤦🏽♂️ but this year I really decided to give it a chance I’m learning lil by lil they say Skyrim is for teenagers an kcd is for men’s
Hello, how are you? Have you checked the Game Settings and seen if there is any customization for the HUD? For example, disabling the yellow reticle in the middle of the screen? By the way, excellent video. Greetings from Brazil. "War is a nasty business! 🔥 🛡️⚔️"
Obviously I'm hugely looking forward to KCD2, but even now I play KCD1 so much it's hugely distracting to my life! I just love KCD1 and I know that KCD2 is probably light years better. It's just pure freedom and satisfaction to be able to exercise player choice and just enjoy the fruits of ones labour as 'your Henry' improves effects the lives around him.
Are the lockpicking mechanics at all improved? Trying to pick a lock in the original using a controller was a Herculean feat, and not just because my skill was at level zilch, the actual minigame was a nightmare to first learn, and second actually interact with.
I don’t understand the mentality of those who plan to play this without playing the original… The first isn’t even full price anymore, and although it isn’t necessary to play the first, you’ll learn so much that will carry over… You COULD learn to read in the first game, and a lot of the mechanics he’s describing were in the first game as well. The first was phenomenal, although difficult at times. It doesn’t hold your hand. And I don’t expect the sequel to either.
Honestly I hate to be that guy but I would almost say KCD1 is somewhat necessary to get the actual experience because you quite literally are doing a “rags to riches” narrative adventure, but in the second one you definitely get a much better boost than in the first when your at the rungs since you don’t get a stat boost. Nothing against you, I think you’re all good man, this comment is more for newcomers from the viewing side.
i hope they will add the band of bastards questline dlc to the base game its just not the same without them. if not the hope it will be renewed into the expansion
yeah play the first game dude lol. Its frustrates me at times, I hope lockpicking is easier now. Just started a new game yesterday and broke 18 lockpicks haha
First video I've seen where they actually show actual story spoilers. Shame. Heads up others. Really fascinating video from a unique perspective, but while the other five videos I've watched avoided spoilers like the plague, I guess I should have been more careful.
How cn you call yourself Evan explains when you believe for whatever reason that you're going to the Kingdom of "Bergo" which is the castle of Trotsky to deliver a letter to the King... You're not. The letter is for Otto von Bergow. Not the King. How can you miss something so blatantly told to you...
It's fucking astonishing how there is NO ONE who got to play early, who talk about the blood and gore... one of THE most important aspects of combat in ANY realistic looking game, is the blood and gore. Like for example, if you stab an enemy, there should be blood gushing out of the wound, and then landing on the ground. Basically, in the first game, no matter HOW many times you hit an enemy, there will NEVER be any blood splatter or blood decals that spawn on the environment, during actual combat gameplay, and that fucking sucks. But by the LOOKS of it, we actually have blood during combat now. Doesn't look anywhere near as good as something like Dead Island 2, or Dying Light 1... but at the very least, IT'S THERE in Kingdom Come Deliverance: II.
First, There’s no evidence yet that GTA is woke. A few articles don’t prove anything, and this is from someone with zero interest in rockstar games. I have always thought their games were overrated. And I have played every single one of them except Bully and Manhunt. Secondly, Yotei has a woke actress and yeah, they got rid of Jin, but still no proof of wokeness. Hell Tsushima had plenty of badass women. Lady Masako, and Yuna were awesome. And I am not enthusiastic for it but there isn’t any evidence. So, maybe use your brain, don’t assume everything is woke.
I was there when Tobi said that... It was glorious... LOL. Great to meet you and thanks for making me feel welcome too, meant a lot.
