Medieval lasagna of gameplay lmao nicely put. Yeah I've always loved KCD, how believable and unforgiving it is, how it respects your intelligence. People who gave up halfway through the prologue raise my blood pressure more than I care to admit. Overcoming believable adversity is what makes it satisfying and fun. I think you missed one of the most unsung heroes of the game btw: the map itself. In hardcore you don't get the player icon on the map, no fast travel and you don't get cardinal directions or long distance quest markers either. So you have to navigate by landmarks and the insanely good - and historically authentic - quality of the map is just a superb part of that experience and what ultimately makes it suuuper fun.

This might be my favorite game ever but the jank is the absolute worst kind and genuinely is unacceptable for a fully patched game.

"Gormless-looking pilot" 😂

I don't think it was ever meant to be a game and never will be. Like it said in the trailer it is used by real airports/airliners to train there staff, Aviar just wanted this simulator to be released to the public

The game is good the missions where you have to help save the injured people in sasau was a mess..

Curious who your first Gay sex scene was with in game ? were there good cut scenes with it ?

I bounced off KCD when I first tried it some years back, but I admitted at the time it was a lack of skill on my part. I don't have the time/patience to deal with games with steep learning curves. But I tried it again recently & fell in love with it. It's up there with RDR2, Witcher 3, & Cyberpunk as games where I'll just wander around exploring, seeing what the world has in store. I normally wait for games to have a Definitive Edition, so as to avoid launch issues & drip-fed extras, but I've pre-ordered the Gold Edition of KCD2, & I haven't been this excited for a game since Baldur's Gate 3 was in Early Access.

Jesus Christ Be Praised!

Just wait till KCD2 comes out

I hope it's not so annoying as the first one. I uninstalled it after a few useless and boring quests with Theresa. On top of that the combat was very clunky and punishing and in the same time didn't give you the chance to learn it, while punishing you right away for not knowing it. Very bad game mechanics.

I’m replaying it for what might be the final time currently, and having a blast. Those future replays will probably be KCD2 honestly, it’s played out by now but I’m still greatly enjoying it this last time. My favorite game ever.

Your videos are very high quality when you said you were very close to hitting 10K subscribers for a split second I was actually expecting you to say a a hundred thousand or even million. The editing and the way you’ve went about this video seems like it’s came from a high quality game company review channel. Nice work man!

Welcome. Took a while, didn't you ? The opening doesn't get nearly as much love as it should. Have you any idea how powerful you can become just in Skalitz and later Talmberg ? Regarding Peter.......... he also puts poison on his blade. Did you run into the blacksmith father of his last victim ? It's a hidden quest.

the combat in the first game was just so inconsistent for me, sometimes it would take 2 minutes of being countered over and over before you could get a single good hit in, at other times you would beat the same enemy with 1 hit. hope its less janky in the second game

I tried the game once and quickly lost interest. Then one year later, I decided to give it another go. Started in hardcore mode and I had such a blast that I sank 100 hours into it in a matter of weeks. This game is a treasure if you can look past its flaws and I can't wait for the second one to come out

I've finished KCD 3 times. The last time was on Hardcore mods. And I've spent over 500 hours in the game. And I'll probably play it a fourth time, once all the DCLs are released on KCD 2 and I can enjoy Henry's story from beginning to end.

Late to the party as well. Gonna pick up the sequel somewhere this year. But I need to finish this one first before the new game comes out. There is no rush though. I stopped buying games on launch anyway. I can finish this one and wait to wear off the fatigue for playing the same game for so many hours.

I just hit 40 hours, never even thought about this game before the sequel trailer. Truly brilliant game.

like I did not want to start with kcd last year, because I though "I will play the game with better graphics in 2025" but since the previews have been shown on youtube, I am way too hyped. So last week I started playing kcd to tip my toe, for the kcd2 and it is indeed awesome! didnt know I didnt play it earlier, probably the negative press when it released (buggy etc)

I've just started playing it as well - first attempt , loving it.

Half of this video is just rambling, what is your point?

One of those games I wish I could play again for the first time. My first (and hardcore) run was just one of the best gaming experiences ever. These next two weeks of wait will be torture.

New to the game, I ordered 2 already, should I buy 1 and give it a go?

I remember first seeing this game used years ago at Gamestop. I think I tried it and returned it, BUT ironically gave it another shot on the ugly Vaseline Switch version and put 50 hours into it! The world and characters and writing and gameplay kept me going. I don't have a Switch anymore but I am replaying KCD on a Steam Deck and I appreciate it SO much more! The HD Textures pack with low and medium settings consistently gives 60 FPS, too. Like you, I'm also way excited for KCD 2 😄

I'm the exact same tried about 4 times and never got far past the beginning bit. A mate recommend me to use a controller so giving it another go now!

The game is not playable I deleted it and just play 2020

Extremely ambitious game has a few glitches on launch - somehow makes it shambolic 🙄 I'm sure after a patch or two it'll all be fixed. Not to mention the best way to get these bugs fixed quickly is to release it so they get all the reports and edge cases from players. Chill out lmao

Thanks for this review! I've been really drawn in to the hype surround KDC2 recently but I was unsure about committing to trying the first one out beforehand. Luckily before buying it I realised I already had it in my Epic Games library so this video as really helped me decide if I fancy it or not. Fingers crossed!

Same as you, I played KCD a few times when it released but bailed on it because I was tom tit at playing it. I decided to give it another crack ahead of KCD2 and it was great but with the same issues you mention. I couldn’t hit a barn door with the bow

Sounds like MS transferred their Windows programmers and product managers to their gaming department.

You Talked Pretty Well About MSFS 2020 (40th Anniversary). So If Someone Wanted To Use MSFS As A Tool To Familiarize Themselves With The Gauges And Controls Before Beginning In Person Flight Training Would You Suggest 2024? Or Would It Be Better To Buy A Version That Is 4 Years Older? Hoping To Practice A Couple Of Stall Recoveries And Other Exercises, To Get Them Figured Out At Home And Save A Couple Hours Of Training Costs With An Instructor

I absolutely loved this game.

Beautiful video ❤🎉🎉🎉

"No jokes. You lot are utter legends." Oh, reggie, reggie, reggie. That is very kind of you. But I already know that I'm an absolute legend. Also humble. Legend and humble. That's me. The other 9999 are probably quite good to.

I did pretty much the same as you, played it for a bit then couldn't for the life of me generate the enthusiasm to carry on.... I think you've inspired me to give it another go. Nice vid too!

haha! Excellent review. I'm of very similar opinion. The atmosphere can be excellent, as you note, in the rain especially. The funky personal management bureau AKA the inventory? "more tabs than a night out in London". :D Good vid, thanks!

Like Reggie, i've had this game since it came out. And also uninstalled it immediately. The absolute broken jank of the fighting system makes the game unplayable. I even tried it with an infinite health trainer and still couldn't beat the training level fights !! If only they had used a real fight system like Assassin's Creed, that empowers the player and makes them feel great, instead of whatever this has, that demoralizes and mocks the player. Worst 60 quid I ever spent.

I just downloaded KCD….excited to get into it.

No idea what happed in the first second of that video! Either way, this is a proper banger of a game and I cannot WAIT to get stuck into KCD2 next month (of course we will have a review!) Have a good one and love to you all, Reggie x

Is there a simulator game about sitting on your ass playing video games? 😂

Was going to buy this game. I’ll stick to msfs2020.

Bro you need to take a chill pill. It's either put up with the bugs and play now, or wait another 2 fawkin years to play at all? You cant have your cake and eat it too so stop bein such a cunt

they shouldn't of brought it out. I'm happy waiting for another year or so for a game that functions properly and doesn't crash all the time.

Make your own sim loser

Love how you say BUSS

I would say that there are still some Game Developers that do care. And those are typically the smaller dev studios. The bigger the enterprise gets the worse they are with give a darn.

You can’t even buy the game you can only rent it was my deal breaker

honestly I get it people love FS2020/2024 for the visuals like "I found my house in the sim" but now Microsoft releases "visual simulators" instead of proper sims, if you care for an actual sim go for Xplane or Prepar3D. it´s simpler to customize what you want and on Xplane you don´t even have to install the whole thing just the areas you want and since it´s certified by many aviation agencies worldwide you can use the domestic version of your XPlane and get almost the same feeling of the version used on flight training centers. on Xplane you won´t find your house but you will have a nice sim with gruesome weather (and that´s the objective anyway) so you can train procedures and study.

Shite is the word 💪🏽💪🏽

he sounds like a soy boy. Go play your PS5.
