KCD is one of the most immersive games I've ever played. Like thinking you are in there in the world. Especially around the foresty areas, they really feel like youre in a real life forest. The soundscape, animal sounds, hooves, wind everything is so nicely done in those games. Fantastic audio engineering. Very nice clear sounds, not muted to hell like in most modern games.

[@LeonJohnson-yi3hg]

The need to eat some bread out on the road is immersive

@@intothevoid2046 they can’t git gud

[@rykehuss3435]

@@intothevoid2046 You can fix quite a bit about the combat with mods, I know I did. Remove Master Strike (turns game too easy and boring once its introduced, combos are completely useless because enemy will just master strike you), remove slow-mo, remove target lock, faster arrows, no arrow trails. KCD does the combat and progression very differently than most games, you start out as weak as Henry does. In most games you can kill first enemies easily and without thought. Not so much in KCD. It didnt resonate with people who are used to being handheld in games.

[@AlwaresHUN]

The little details makes it so immersive. For example you are a peasant in the game, therefore you cannot read, like every other peasant in the world at that time. So there is a quest, where you need to learn how to read. And after that you can read books, but not books in latin! Insane! Never seen anything like it before.

My only concern is the combat. I'm not sure which sections of the game people managed to play, but in KCD there was a massive difference in combat between the early game and when you were fighting 3 or 4 armored opponents at once. Late game KCD felt more like a fight against their lock on system than the enemies. If Warhorse can fix that, I expect KCD2 to be a masterpiece. The world is going to be beautiful and immersive and the story engaging, that feels like a given.

[@John-996]

Kingdom Come and RDR2 really set a bar for me when comes to living breathing worlds that are interactive and reactive. Kingdom Come 2 and GTA6 have me hyped for their open worlds many games will struggle to compete in the open world aspects.

[@SnailHatan]

“reactive” is a stretch for KCD. Doing quests that are specifically built to change things in-game doesn’t make it reactive. The guards are just as incompetent as Skyrim guards, nothing actually changes outside of story quests or the townbuilding DLC. It’s a great game, but reactive is not how I’d describe it at all. Putting on better clothes to boost charisma and get discounts isn’t reactive

[@tj-co9go]

Not really that interactive and reactive, but it is a beautiful and accurate historical period setting

[@The.Nasty.]

@@SnailHatanI’d argue it’s reactive to a degree. One example off the top of my head: the quest where you’re sent to investigate that stable near the starting town… the time you take to travel there will change some minor things, if you take too long the guards will handle a lot of the investigation for you and chastise you for your lateness. It’s not world changing AI or anything, but minor things you do can affect certain outcomes and how you’re treated.

[@HuntressGamer]

Same here,My favourite games are RDR2 abd KCD. World is alive,NPCs react,the best ganes ever for me. I am not into GTA though. So since I finished KCD been waiting for a sequel . So happy, can't wait for release. ❤

[@BlueFire015]

​@@The.Nasty.yea i use alot of google searches to find out whats time sensitive and not cause i dont wanna be late and mess up worked out wrll enough for me soo far.. what i do want in the sequel is npc telling u to hurry or something if its time sensitive anf if its not dont say anything like that cause in old rpgs i expect if someone says hurry om like its cool im gonna come back in 30h and do this then see u and im kcd ots like okay sooo do i actually have to hurry or can i do side content?? Purely in game speaking i will have no clue cause sometime sir radzig says hurry but its not actually time sensitive but ots not always like that though Its a very very tiny nitpick other than that i like having timed quests sure its sometimes can be a little inconvient but thats the point the world is not living by ur clock and for me this adds immersion instead of like skyrim for example if im not there nothing is happening that world lives by my clock

Took me awhile to get into KCD. I watched ESO play it when I was a Freshman in high school. Soon, I finally played for myself: Days into the game, still frustrated with the combat, I rage quit just before the best climaxes of the story. Time went by n I came back, fully intending to finish Henry’s story(sike). You really have to put in the work/time to get better at the fighting. So immersive, it’s almost insane. Easily one of my top games next to RDR2 and God of War. 8:10

[@The.Nasty.]

I’m glad you came back and loved it. I spent too much time trying to explain to people how the combat worked and not to get discouraged. Henry is garbage at first, two dudes with literal sticks will absolutely beat him down. Training with the guardsmen, practicing in the training yard, and learning the combos are all SUPER important. After a few dozen hours and better gear, I was able to 1v1 a trained knight in full plate.

By now, over ten-thousand people already have played KCD2 at least partially. About 9000 on Gamescom already, although just a short 20 Minute snippet. Then there was Tokyo Game-Show as well, not to count the earlier event in Kuttenberg you were referring to, where journalists and a few influencers could play the game for about 3 hours.

Or the Clothing System for various situations such as sneaking and fighting or just bartering. I definitely hope, that KCD II will be a wonderful success!

[@RealDrDoom]

I've been playing the first KCD for the past 2 months and can confidently say it's the best game I've ever played. Better than BG3 imo. Plus, I've learned a ton of history from it, particularly day to day life details in medieval times. I did need some QoL mods though, like a bow reticle and herb pickup animation skips

[@RealDrDoom]

@@Panssel The mod I'm using is called "Instant Herb Picking". It just skips the pickup animation, making it so I can zoom down a field pressing E to pickup everything really fast. I combined that with the "Easy To See Herbs" mod. That one just re-styles the herbs so they're easier to see on the ground (without breaking immersion). Lmk if you wanna know of other mods, I'm using a bunch of quality-of-life mods that massively improve the experience IMO.

[@flare242]

The Royal Edition of KCD is on -85% sale on Steam right now. I bought it even though i already had it on different platform, because the devs just deserve it. Steam in my country asks for 5,99EUR. That's a freakin steal for game this good, including all the DLCs. I highly recommend everyone who love openworld games that don't rely on generic content, VERY original (but really clunky and tough to learn) combat system, funny dialogue and overall good writing. Dan Vávra might not be the most honest debater when it comes to politics and some elements of his worldview are definitely worrying a little, but he's definitely good writer, and he understands what a great game should have. The first Mafia was very good, and so is KCD. Also, a huge chunk of the KCD map is VERY realistic. Everything east from Samopesh and Ledetchko is close to 1:1. So you can visit Sasau region of medieval version of Czechia. My family used to have a summer cottage near Samopesh, i spent every summer there as a kid until 1994 when we had to sell :-(. I miss the place terribly. I truly regret they didn't stick to the map realism also west of Samopesh and Samopesh itself. They kinda folded the map right there at the edge of the village, moved Sasau way closer and much further south than where it really is, i guess to be able to fit few more villages that aren't really in walking distance from the Rattay/Talmberg/Ledetchko triangle. I still think that they could have done it anyway, because the real area between Samopesh and Sasau is basically just a river, rock cliffs with a few summer camps anyway, but the Warhorse team was small, and i guess they didn't want "empty" areas where only stuff that would happen would be generic bandit encounters. Filling that area with meaningful content would take time and resources, so they decided to just move Sasau (and everything north of Sasau) closer to the realistic part of the map. Still love the game, and i wish Warhorse success with KCD2.

[@martinzemek5798]

I know someone inside the studio and I can confirm that Warhorse were a bit worried about AC: Shadows being delayed to the same month (KCD was delayed first before Ubisoft decided to release AC in the February as well). Even though people love to hate on AC: Shadows atm it's still a way more recognizable IP and Ubisoft has much bigger budget for marketing. People online will also want to talk about AC: Shadows when it comes out so I think it's only natural to be afraid that it might overshadow the release of KCD 2 a bit.

It could literally be the same game with the same physics and a new story and I would still play it. My only 'skeptical' take is that I really hope the story is just as good (or hopefully) better than the first. I really just want an epic medieval story that does justice to the age. I love the gameplay of the first already, but I really need an rpg with a soul again like the Witcher, the previous kcd, and red dead redemption 2 had. No more robotic, uninteresting, lifeless npcs like Bethesda, ubisoft, and smaller game, but mount and blade banner lord have had as of late. I played the original mount and blade. Though Bannerlord is a better game, the npcs feel like lifeless vessels compared to the compelling characters of the first. I am not worried about kcd2 because I've yet to have a bad experience with their game. The dlcs were good(especially a woman's lot, and band of bastards while it lasted) the story, though simple, was well told, and the characters all had things that added to the overarching story, like Hans Capon with a great character arc that proves he was right and actually a good lad the whole time, or the general feel of the game as henry slowly gains the respect and trust of the lords during the battles and missions. I just want expansion and a well written ending to Henry's story.

9:03 one of the quests in the forst game was drinking with a young prince and the debaucharee that comes with that. Ie, actual meaningful story in minor questing

[@Lisa-Azra_Broad]

With the first game, they researched all the weapons and armour, they physically made weapons and armour and tested it. That is why in the first game if hit someone not wearing a helmet in the head they would die instantly. In the preview of the new game (this vid at 8:20) a guy is hit in the head and does not die, just shakes his head. I am worried the combat is a little more game than real.

@@Lisa-Azra_Broad that was a duel, not a fight to the death, that npc wasnt going to die, and enemies in the first game CAN take attacks to the head unarmored without dying, at least in early game

They're coming out with confidence. Not arrogance like we see so often from other studios. I think they're genuinely excited to show us what they're cooking and I'm all for it.

[@lilBugger35]

KCD is my favorite game of all time. I think KCD2 will be better. It's the only game I've ever preordered.

[@Lord_Pancakes]

KCD2 will be my first preorder too, I’m so excited

[@mrlene_ananas]

same! after trying it at gamescon 2024 I immediatly preordered, first time ever.

[@21kaduku]

When the first game came out my PC couldn't run it, but I completed it around three months ago and fell in love with the game and its world. I'm an absolute sucker for the time period, and I'm so excited for the new release

[@harosokman]

Im under no illusions that this game will be buggy as hell, and tank any lower end PC. However! This will also likely be one of the best medieval sim-style RPGs ever, and I absolutely cannot wait!

[@8Paul7]

I think people will be surprised by how polished it will be. Warhorse are very intent on removing their "buggy games" reputation.

[@prltqdf9]

At the reveal of KCD2 in April Warhorse said that in terms of quality and polish the game was at the same stage as KCD was at launch, and they have been in an all out bug-squashing mode for the last 6 months. Woah, it's already been 6 months since the reveal...

[@PinoyZo1]

This game came out on PS4/Xbox and PS5/Xseries runs KCD much better. If medium SPEC PCs have trouble running this game might as well move to consoles.

[@Cheefjaymz]

Cool to hear your love for the first game as I'm playing it rn and feel the exact same way. If they deliver something similar for game 2 then we have a masterpiece on our hands.

Sorry but naming IGN as neutral source is as trustworthy as saying the friend of a friend of a friend recommended this they say anything if they get paid for it

They hired a lot of talent that left CDPR who worked on the Witcher games. So they might have some serious experience on board boosting their development.

[@muzamilnabinadroo]

Then we may expect magical writing

[@ThePredator77]

I have over 250 hours in KCD 1 with just the 1st playthrough (all DLC's included). Think about this...the guy who made this game and made all this possible is the same guy that made and wrote Mafia 1 back in the 2000 and wrote Mafia 2. I'm happy that they delayed the release date. So they can polish the game even more. Peace!

[@captainbigos9267]

As much as we would be honored to claim this game, I think it's fair to say "so that they can CZECH the game even more". 😆 I'll see myself out.....

[@Monkeypole]

I know its going to release with bugs... but I can't be waiting, day one buy for sure!

[@zuzisam]

I agree with "that one person" - the 11.2. release date is worrisome. AC Shadows people are the types to play KCD. It's a massive historical RPG, enough said. And if you have to spend 150 hours in a game, you will have to make a choice which one to buy. Actually it will be interesting to see how many people will follow "the based" studio (Warhorse) instead of very much not based Ubisoft lmao.

[@8Paul7]

With shadows launching on steam day one, it will be interesting to compare the numbers. Personally I expect KCD2 will actually against expectations pull bigger numbers than AC Shadows.

[@zuzisam]

@@8Paul7 I'm worried because let's be honest, AC is a brand that fans just buy because it's AC. KCD is not established, small studio from Europe, and buggy first game. HOWEVER I do think word of the mouth is gonna help, and also people are really fed up with Ubisoft and just want quality game. It's gonna be tough but fingers crossed for KCD2, I'm Czech and I want nothing more than for it to succeed.

[@lorddiethorn]

@@zuzisamnot anymore shadows and Ubisoft are not doing well: ac is not an hardcore game it fairly easy gameplay there last game only sold an million copies and that was viewed as very poorly made. I don’t think you will see an ton of people buying shadows

[@BlueFire015]

​@@zuzisamthey have hired a 100 or more ppl than what they had with rhe forst game and alot of former cdpr talent so that should help Idk what the game was like when it first came out but for me it runs good and havent encountered any real bugs or anything ive played it pretty recently though

[@WaterMeA-biscuit]

What I like most about this game is that it's historically accurate and doesn't have any magic spells or fantasy to the game, just pure bare-bones medieval; I like all of the different armor choices; the atmosphere, it was a beautiful game when I had it for ps4.. I can only imagine how it will be on the gaming pc. Crossbows are going to be fun; my only gripe is that they changed Henry's face, very small gripe. This one is going to have lots of combat, the first one stopped at the beginning of the boiling point. I can't wait to play this game

[@DanielVerberne]

I really love that Luke loves KCD. I'm really looking forward to KCD:2. I can point to the specific moment I fell in love with KCD - it was that first mission that paired my Henry with Sir Hans Capon on a rabbit-hunting trip. The pace was so stretched out, it felt like a real kind of squire+prick of a lord relationship, but went in a very different direction.

[@bulldawgslays3724]

My only issue with this is you are a bit inconsistent when either criticizing or praising games for being a 1.5 of the first game instead of a different second game. You heavily criticized horizon and spider man for it but praised Jedi(minus technical issues) this and others 10:35

The way you talk about Warhorse Studio reminds me of old Bethesda when they maybe used to put out games that were "rough around the edges" as you said but at the same time they also put so much heart into fundamental things and that's why we loved ol' good Bethesda despite their shortcomings. I hope Warhorse keeps up the good work and that BGS finally returns to their former glory with TES6.

In one of Sir Tobi's recent interviews, he was asked how many Easter eggs are in KCD2, and he said he literally doesn't know. The org chart for Warhorse is really flat, and they don't really track things like that. If someone wants to hide a detail like an Easter egg, they can do it pretty easily. Which means that yeah, KCD2 is likely to be just as quirky and detailed as KCD.

[@iyziejane]

The only worry I have for KC2 is that the first game ends abruptly, it doesn't reach a proper climax in terms of story or late-game RPG elements.

[@Wolltazar]

kcd1 as a whole was just act 1 of the story and therefore we had to wait for kcd2 which will be act 2 (the Bohemian paradise) and act 3 (kuttenberg) They ended the first one the way they did because the original plan was to release the second act 1 or 2 years after the first one and third with the same time gap after the second one but kcd 1 grew too much in size and Vávra being Vávra (an insane megalomaniac - which is great I think, given that he can deliver the best product possible as long as he’s not treated like he was during mafia 2 development) and Warhorse being full of other people that know really well what they're doing, they decided to make kcd2 the whole act 2&3 which is why the game took double the time of their original plan and is roughly double in size (at least the world is, and the script is apparently longer than that for bg3 which is a hard thing to do, but Warhorse is one of the studios which I believe can do a game as huge as this)
