I have a feeling once the game comes out, there will be a wave of negative review saying ''It's KCD 1.5'' but, any die hard fans wants exactly this.: kcd polished and wih new content.
I’ve already been seeing comments like that, or one where it said “They somehow made the graphics in the second one worse than the first.” And honestly, there’s just some people that want this game to fail for various reasons. But all in all, this is everything I’ve been wanting and more out of a sequel to kcd. No gutting the mechanics to appease everybody and neglect their fans, no price gouging, none of that. It’s as Neon said, it’s a 5 year polished Kingdom Come Deliverance 1, with more to do and a continuation of Henry’s journey. And honestly that’s all I could want! But notice how people are saying that about this game, yet weirdly enough people didn’t say that about God of War: Ragnarok when it came out 🤔
@@raskolnikov6443 Oh same Like, I’m glad they made some changes and it sounds like fighting more than one person will be doable, but I would feel so let down to get good at the system of the first game only for them to give it like a Skyrim, or Chivalry combat system I love Warhorse for sticking to their guns, especially because I find that those said guns are great 🙌🏻

@@noamias4897 they're not making a game from scratch this time. Just like he says it's the first game + improvements and new story. Sure it won't be 100% bug free, but imo it will be much better on release then first one. Also as a person who've played Cyberpunk 2077 on launch and loved it - I don't really care if the game has bugs if it's good otherwise.
@beachslap7359 what ? You can still get it day 1 without a pre order and be a smart consumer waiting for reviews before you purchase. Not sure why this video changes your stance on pre orders
CATS. Best reveal. Also super reassuring I can set my game so Henry isn't a cheating bastard. Theresa deserves better lol I'm literally so excited for this game
I'll try all choices simply because I want to experience all possible outcomes, whenever there are multiple options in a game I usually have to try them all, though for me personally I think having Henry say he's with Theresa and having him stay faithful is the proper choice. Henry would be a moron to cheat on her.
I am so pumped for this game. Started a new play through of KCD and I'm going to save ridding off into the sunset for launch day of KCD2 so I can get the end credits for KCD1 and immediately boot up KCD2.
Dude, amazing idea! I’m gonna do that too, once I’m done getting all the achievements, I’ll start another playthrough doing all the choices I want to carry over to the next one
@@imarag1193 Well, I think they meant that not every single one Henry makes has an effect in this one, but some of the bigger decisions I’m sure will have more weight to Henry’s journey(Like being with Theresa)
@@Gooeygiuseppe yeah you right I just want to know how many choices would be brought over to the second one. It’s probably not as much as The Witcher 3 for instance.
@@imarag1193 Idk either, and that’s something I’m curious about too. I know they for sure would have to address Theresa, but I found it odd that they addressed whether you beat Hans or not in that little duel, so who knows honestly
The first Kingdom Come game was such an underrated gem. I’m shocked it’s not talked about in the same breath as the absolute greats, like Baldur’s Gate 3. Witcher 3, Dragon Age: Origins and other timeless RPG classics. From great game mechanics, story and side quests. Kingdom Come: Deliverance has all the criteria to be mentioned among the all-time greats. Can’t wait to play the new one!
Warhorse sticking to their vision is not just great, I think it's imperative for this game. Giving too much credibility to the critics of some of the more "hardcore" mechanics and ways KCD did things would just likely dilute the experience. Sometimes the lack of comfortability and ease of use is just really important for immersion. I think Daniel Vavra is great in this aspect: he's stubborn and confident enough to stick to the vision, and he seems to be fairly good at distinguishing between baseless and warranted criticism.
Going on a pilgrimage to raise your low reputation? I love the sound of this! It's a perfect way to raise it as a high reputation (at least in KCD) is mostly a cosmetic feature so it doesn't force anyone to go on a time consuming walk to raise it. But as I loved the monastery quest and Johankas DLC I find this a brilliant addition which increases immersion!
I remember talking to some people about what I like and don't like about the first game. My biggest disappointment was that there is no sequel. A month later, they introduced it and I was reminded of it nearly 70 times over.
I vaguely remember a video or a post or something, around the time they released the second to last DLC, they talked about hiring historians and analyzing Prague deeply for a possible sequel. I am not sure if Prague will actually be in the game, but that thing gave it away. I never lost hope, I was just waiting (just like I do with Star Citizens)
Díky!Thanks for all of your videos. I have been watching u from the start of your TH-cam channel.Your videos helped me with depression and as a Czech i am happy to see the second masterpiece from warhorse get your attention. Thx for everything fellow knight
Came for the KCD2 coverage, stayed because I have the attention span to handle it, got rewarded with a reference to a Megadeth deep cut. Well done, sir! Hope you're feeling better!
Staying with the original KCD feel and mechanics is perfect. Great example of if it ain't broke, don't fix it. They struck gold the first time. Really glad to see better combos in combat though
Everything is music to my ears, thank you for putting this together Neon! The part about no more fighting the camera during combat made me breathe a sigh of relief - especially those group fight moments genuinely made me quit KCD for long periods. And the polished crime system and stealth makes me want to give a more rogueish Henry a try. 😈
Thank you! I loved that this video covered so many things others didn't. Also, audio nerd here and I absolutely care a lot about audio quality. More than the visuals, usually. So thank you for addressing this!
I just hope master parries are directional now. It was super dumb how npcs would randomly counter you with nothing you could do about it. The optimal playstile was to just wait for a counter and play eternal defense.
Out of all the games I’ve played, this is what I’ve been looking forward to for so long. I’ve played so much of KCD. Other than not putting skill points into stuff that would negatively affect me, I’ve been more than happy with combat, the story, and the armor. I’m so glad they made the changes to loadouts so I don’t need to constantly change clothing to do things. From sword play, combos, alchemy, etc. If they had a collectors edition I’d be so down to get it.
Great stuff, you got me very excited for KCD2! I am glad Warhorse did not feel the need to change the unique systems they had in place too much. Thanks for this great overview, and get well soon!
It's refreshing to see a studio allocate a healthy six months of debugging, even if the game is feature ready. Let Warhorse remain free of "corporate policies" and "market considerations" until the end. They already killed CDPR, no more.
I think one game where the sequel character power scaling is quite different is the Batman Arkham games with the sequels mostly starting you where Batman was at end of previous game. Except with Arkham Knight where you are not just as powerful but early into the game it just powers you up even further by insane degree.
OOOh right. Subnautica 2. How could I forget. There really is shitton of games. Pretty much looking forward to what you listed plus Monster Hunter Wilds.
I saw so many other people talking about KCD2, and I was wondering if you were invited too to Kuttenberg. Glad that you were and i am happy to see your opinion of the game and that you find it good. I am so hyped !!! Big fan of your videos and I hope you'll recover soon !
Exactly what i wanted from it. O nly problem i had with the first game was the early game combat and getting ambushed by multiple enemies (especially at night so i can't see without a torch meaning no shield) and random peasants or bandits being fully trained knights. Everything just needed the polishing that comes with being a bigger studio and having more time/people. Also glad they haven't rushed it
I especially love how the mail collars look, they look soooooo much better now, and the armor looks like it fits to the characters much better and more accurately
Tobi is a king! Fantastic video, gives me way more hope because I couldn't stay in Cologne for Gamescom. I was there for ONL and was prob the only screamy voice in the audience :D
1:18 i hard agree mate, there are too many franchises that I am left being worried about their future releases because they have changed it so much from the original. All I want from kc2 is full game size expansion of the first with removal of jankiness and a graphic improvement. There is no reason to move away from what charmed everyone into playing the game the first time. Even removing jankiness I would want them to go easy, cos that was part of the fun of it too
There are two simple solutions - practice and thoughtful approach, both to be deployed by you. The more you practice a particular skill the better you get and the easier it gets (your irl self will get used to the mechanics while the game character will increase its stats); as for the saving system, the potion saving is there to force you play reasonably as if it would be a real life. With unlimited saving players would just go straight for difficult/improbable outcomes, keep dying and reloading and as soon as they get lucky, they save the game again and do another difficult task in the same manner. With limited saves you to be strategic and consider what is worth the risk and what is not, making the game much better experience. But you have to accept the mechanics instead of fighting them.
@@MrMichalMalek yeah, but in the early game this is a very conflicting design choice. Henry sucks at everything, the player doesn't understand the systems and the cost of failure is always high, (and the game is still kinda buggy which can make things worse) so you're disinsentivized from experimenting. In my first playthrough I ended up being just a meathead, because combat is the only thing you can practice without severe risk, and completely ignored systems like stealth or archery. In my other playthroughs I am much more versatile, but it's mainly due to strategic save planning and the willingness to waste time.
Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts with us even when you were feeling under the weather. Hope you feel better soon! And congratulations on getting invited to this exclusive event. I've been following your channel since the very first Witcher 3 video. It's awesome to see how much its grown in just two years. I wish you continued success!
Can we expect something like, what happened in Assassin's Creed 2 to Brotherhood? A slight Graphical and Gameplay improvement, while keeping its roots mostly the same? One thing I wanted to ask was, how do the crossbows handle? How do they clash with the bow in terms of power, speed, usefulness and user friendliness? I play on console, so I never bothered with a bow in the first game, but a steady crossbow sounds way more usable for consoles than a bow.
I know that crossbows drain your stamina while you aim them(I’m sure that goes away or is minimized the higher skill level you have), but I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be much easier to use than the bows
i feel like the simplification of the combat in kcd2 is genius. it makes new players not get frustrated w the combat and it shows how advanced and skilled Henry is w the different weapons.
I'm really glad you mentioned the audio! That was one of my biggest worries when watching the demo video. Glad to know that I won't want to rip my ears off.
I’m so glad I can keep Theresa as my love interest. So many games just throw traditional marriage/romance out the window and pretend previous engagements didn’t exist.
Happy it’s a “simple” sequel, I’m sure they’ll probably be some more ambitious DLC’s, or more unique I guess, to shake things up. So far it looks amazing!
What I hated about the first game was that you often ran into bushes that felt like rocks. That broke immersion. Hopefully running and horse riding works better now.
i dont mind you cant go thru them but there were many times i was stuck in a bunch of bushes.i was stuck in a world of bushes for like 10 mins one time. which is also stressful when you havent saved in awhile
@@morrisalanisette9067 I know, same thing happened quite a few times to me, it was really bad game design. I’ve actually never seen a game that had this problem, where you suddenly couldn’t move in areas of the world that looked like you could go. Very weird and broke immersion many times. Every other game is able to solve this, I don’t know why they couldn’t. It made me not enjoy the game very much.
@@pressrepeat2000 Nah it’s great game design and what I loved about early gameplay in KCD. If you haven’t saved, maybe don’t risk trying to go in those bushes near the bandits. You might die or you might get some loot. It felt dangerous, not like most stealth in games where you can stand next to them and they don’t see.
That system where you decide what you did last game through dialogue is such a great idea. I was wondering how the game would account for everything you did if you played the first. Really cool substitute to importing save files. Cannot wait!
I wonder if the presence of these dialogue choices means that there won't be a save transfer system. The Witcher 3 had both as you could either transfer your Witcher 2 save or "simulate" it with ingame questions.
@@peterk2735 It's been a few years since I last played The Witcher 3 however I do recall that there was at least one minor choice that you could only influence by importing a save (aside from the tattoo that you can get in one of the Witcher 2 quests and which cannot be added by simulating a save)..
@@electricindigoball1244 the most important one was an additional side quest including Letho (if you let him alive in W2) and then bringing him to Kaer Morhen for the fight with the wild hunt. Pretty neat i would say
Not only that you will play as Godwin...CEO confirmed another playable character in base game. It was interview in czech so most youtubers do not noticed...in summer game fest trailer game was narrated from father Godwin, he is on advanture to find Henry and Hans.
ill be honest its kind of frustrating to me personally that the combat has been simplified i really enjoyed the hard learning curve and struggling it was so gratifying when i finally got good at it so i hope it is still relatively hard and complicated
over 1000 hours in that game did everything possible max all my stats, don’t like they got rid off the bottom slices and center pokes or just combined them but still super excited and i will be paying on ps5 preordered it so if its fucked I think I will crash out and hand deliver a certain timed vest to warhourse studio
I played so much of the first one but even after dozens of hours i still HATED the combat and did everything possible to avoid it. This is why i dropped it eventually. Doesn't seam like this one will be better because the system itself sucks.
Considering that the game is running on Cry engine, it is absolutely insane how good the game looks. I do not think that you will find any game on Cry that looks so amazing...

Very good pre-preview video. Thank you!
the Armour looks so much cleaner😶🌫
I especially love how the mail collars look, they look soooooo much better now, and the armor looks like it fits to the characters much better and more accurately

Looks awesome, can't wait to play this!
Perfect timing on this one! Was literally feeling quite hungry
I can’t wait for this game, loved the first one
the audio thing was really worrying me so I am glad
We wanted Kingdom Come on steroids... And we got it. LET'S GO
Tobi is a king! Fantastic video, gives me way more hope because I couldn't stay in Cologne for Gamescom. I was there for ONL and was prob the only screamy voice in the audience :D
1:18 i hard agree mate, there are too many franchises that I am left being worried about their future releases because they have changed it so much from the original. All I want from kc2 is full game size expansion of the first with removal of jankiness and a graphic improvement. There is no reason to move away from what charmed everyone into playing the game the first time. Even removing jankiness I would want them to go easy, cos that was part of the fun of it too
At the same time, most used to be charmed by Bethesda jank back in the day. That didn't turn out too well.
KCD was the best game i never managed to complete due to combat and save system. I really hope KCD2 has some sort of solution for people like me.
There are two simple solutions - practice and thoughtful approach, both to be deployed by you.
The more you practice a particular skill the better you get and the easier it gets (your irl self will get used to the mechanics while the game character will increase its stats); as for the saving system, the potion saving is there to force you play reasonably as if it would be a real life. With unlimited saving players would just go straight for difficult/improbable outcomes, keep dying and reloading and as soon as they get lucky, they save the game again and do another difficult task in the same manner. With limited saves you to be strategic and consider what is worth the risk and what is not, making the game much better experience. But you have to accept the mechanics instead of fighting them.
The combat mechanics are simply horrible though. The game responds to your inputs so slowly. I want to fight the enemies, not the interface.
@@MrMichalMalek yeah, but in the early game this is a very conflicting design choice. Henry sucks at everything, the player doesn't understand the systems and the cost of failure is always high, (and the game is still kinda buggy which can make things worse) so you're disinsentivized from experimenting. In my first playthrough I ended up being just a meathead, because combat is the only thing you can practice without severe risk, and completely ignored systems like stealth or archery. In my other playthroughs I am much more versatile, but it's mainly due to strategic save planning and the willingness to waste time.
Epic win, good job and glad you got the opportunity!
The best addition by far is the cute rabbit under the compass.
Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts with us even when you were feeling under the weather. Hope you feel better soon! And congratulations on getting invited to this exclusive event. I've been following your channel since the very first Witcher 3 video. It's awesome to see how much its grown in just two years. I wish you continued success!
Can we expect something like, what happened in Assassin's Creed 2 to Brotherhood? A slight Graphical and Gameplay improvement, while keeping its roots mostly the same?
One thing I wanted to ask was, how do the crossbows handle? How do they clash with the bow in terms of power, speed, usefulness and user friendliness? I play on console, so I never bothered with a bow in the first game, but a steady crossbow sounds way more usable for consoles than a bow.
I know that crossbows drain your stamina while you aim them(I’m sure that goes away or is minimized the higher skill level you have), but I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be much easier to use than the bows
This answered a bunch of questions I had, thanks for the hard work.
My boy pebbles is still there. That’s all I needed to know.
Great coverage! You answered all the questions I had - thank you
Me hit funny man with big funny sword. Shwing shwing
Would be nice to have some extra big funny Zweihänder. Those unfortunately didn't seem to quite yet exist in early 15th century...
@wombat4191 make an immersion breaking DLC that let's us use the FF7 buster sword or berserk guts dragon slayer
Awesome sounds like it's shaping up to be an excellent sequel, and I couldn't tell you were sick so kudos. 👍
"Random low level peasants master striking you.." will exist as one of the most hilarious lines I have ever heard for a game commentary.
Can't wait!
Thank you for sharing 😊
Boinkin' people on their heads was so fun tho
i feel like the simplification of the combat in kcd2 is genius. it makes new players not get frustrated w the combat and it shows how advanced and skilled Henry is w the different weapons.
aw fuck yeah this fills me with delight
I'm really glad you mentioned the audio! That was one of my biggest worries when watching the demo video. Glad to know that I won't want to rip my ears off.
I’m so glad I can keep Theresa as my love interest. So many games just throw traditional marriage/romance out the window and pretend previous engagements didn’t exist.
There are a lot of phenomenal works of music out there, and you mentioned "Lucretia" by Megadeth. For that, you get a thumbs up.
The fact theyve completed the game and are just doing bug fixes now until February is VERY reassuring to me
Happy it’s a “simple” sequel, I’m sure they’ll probably be some more ambitious DLC’s, or more unique I guess, to shake things up. So far it looks amazing!
What I hated about the first game was that you often ran into bushes that felt like rocks. That broke immersion. Hopefully running and horse riding works better now.
Have you tried running into thick bushes out in the wild? They absolutely feel like rocks and that’s with a motocross bike, never mind a horse
i dont mind you cant go thru them but there were many times i was stuck in a bunch of bushes.i was stuck in a world of bushes for like 10 mins one time. which is also stressful when you havent saved in awhile
@@morrisalanisette9067 I know, same thing happened quite a few times to me, it was really bad game design. I’ve actually never seen a game that had this problem, where you suddenly couldn’t move in areas of the world that looked like you could go. Very weird and broke immersion many times. Every other game is able to solve this, I don’t know why they couldn’t. It made me not enjoy the game very much.
@@pressrepeat2000 Nah it’s great game design and what I loved about early gameplay in KCD. If you haven’t saved, maybe don’t risk trying to go in those bushes near the bandits. You might die or you might get some loot. It felt dangerous, not like most stealth in games where you can stand next to them and they don’t see.
That system where you decide what you did last game through dialogue is such a great idea. I was wondering how the game would account for everything you did if you played the first. Really cool substitute to importing save files. Cannot wait!
They better have fixed the lockpicking for console users. Could open very easy locks occasionally and easy locks very rarely. Couldn’t go any higher.
Great review, you've change dmy mind a bit on this and am debating going back and finishing the first game now
Why have i watched this video so many times
Congrats brother! So glad you got to go play the game. Also super glad your channel is still rocking. Love your content.
I wonder if the presence of these dialogue choices means that there won't be a save transfer system. The Witcher 3 had both as you could either transfer your Witcher 2 save or "simulate" it with ingame questions.
They said (multiple places I believe, but also to me directly after asking) that there won’t be a save import system
And honestly it’s not like the save import in the Witcher made much of a difference
@@peterk2735 It's been a few years since I last played The Witcher 3 however I do recall that there was at least one minor choice that you could only influence by importing a save (aside from the tattoo that you can get in one of the Witcher 2 quests and which cannot be added by simulating a save)..
@@electricindigoball1244 the most important one was an additional side quest including Letho (if you let him alive in W2) and then bringing him to Kaer Morhen for the fight with the wild hunt. Pretty neat i would say
He returned with a new KCD2 video!! Let’s goo
české království bude znovu velké:D
Czech kingdom will be grait again:D
I just recently found KCD, im like 100 hours in just getting to dlc and love it. Great video answering our questions!!
If there isn't a party scene with Henry, Hans and Father Goodwin I don't want to play it.
Not only that you will play as Godwin...CEO confirmed another playable character in base game. It was interview in czech so most youtubers do not noticed...in summer game fest trailer game was narrated from father Godwin, he is on advanture to find Henry and Hans.
Beautifully put together video, Thanks for the video brother
So one could say Kingdom Come delivered right?
Nice one dude 👏
The Deliverance was so good that everybody Came.
May the lords praise you for such fine video material!
Theresa bros, _finally,_ we are so back.
I know it wouldn’t make a ton of sense for her to appear in this game, but it would feel awesome, loved her dynamic with Henry
Man I love Theresa but this Catherine has some, uh, style
@@afz902k Yeah she’s got some nice uh..assets
ill be honest its kind of frustrating to me personally that the combat has been simplified i really enjoyed the hard learning curve and struggling it was so gratifying when i finally got good at it so i hope it is still relatively hard and complicated
8:46 Why is there LITERAL traffic cone in henrys clothing slot....?
It’s an old joke from the time of the beta of the first game
over 1000 hours in that game did everything possible max all my stats, don’t like they got rid off the bottom slices and center pokes or just combined them but still super excited and i will be paying on ps5 preordered it so if its fucked I think I will crash out and hand deliver a certain timed vest to warhourse studio
I played so much of the first one but even after dozens of hours i still HATED the combat and did everything possible to avoid it. This is why i dropped it eventually. Doesn't seam like this one will be better because the system itself sucks.
I really enjoyed the combat, so… skill issue
@@Benzy670 I played plenty of hard games. The combat is not fun. The difficulty is irrelevant
@@fall190not fun to you. Lol because you probably suck at the game
Considering that the game is running on Cry engine, it is absolutely insane how good the game looks. I do not think that you will find any game on Cry that looks so amazing...
Will there be czech dub? The english one lacks soul
Yeah, it’ll launch with a Czech and a few other dubs
The entire list is on the Twitter account
On my 400th hour on the ps5 version and have another save on the switch version. Soooo ready for this game it's unreal
Wonder if you can finally marry Theresa
That would be awesome, even if it’s at the very end of the game, it would be great to see their relationship come to that conclusion
