Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Is Changing Me

As a new player to Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 that never played Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 I talk about my first impressions with the game so far after around 12 hours of rather slow process and dragging myself up the steep learning curve as well as talk about how this game is changing me as a gamer and made me realize that I can indeed enjoy single player story driven games so long as they're set in a super immersive world and have top tier storytelling.
Fun unsponsored vid I threw together because I wanted to talk about the game.
I have a discord server now! - / discord
What do you think about Kingdom: Come Deliverance II so far? do you also agree that this is one of the most realistic medieval RPGs ever made? how're you enjoying the story and world immersion so far? let me know in the comments below!

You sold out.

[@JohnSmith-zc5ox]

Its changing you? Are you a gay man that like to take it up the keester? Wow, stunning and brave.

[@Vejcucnikos]

As a Czech, I'm extremely proud of KCD 1 and 2. Not only are they great RPGs but they also teach you our rich Bohemian history, which in school was always boring to me. Love hearing all the praise for this game. Fun fact: This game was also on our national TV, we as a nation are really proud of it, and it's our new national gem.

[@josephcruz8797]

KCD1 got me to study your countries entire history for like 3 months.

So real. I watch lazypeon for his analysis so I think he’d genuinely benefit from covering a lot of non-mmos

[@XiLock_Alotx]

Never played 1 either. And since starting KCD2 I have put in multiple days of vacation at work due to how freakin addicted I’m am to this game. I want to LiVE in this world everyday

[@redshift912]

It’s ok

[@ecargfosreya]

The key to KCD is you gotta prepare. You gotta think in terms of day cycles such as what am I gonna do today and what gear will I need to take with me in the morning to accomplish that goal?

[@_JB89]

You've been the only streamer who's videos I actually watch regularly. You always seem to have the same thoughts and opinions on games as I do. Looking forward to seeing more content from this game bc I'm equally as overwhelmed with it as you've been at times lol. Keep up the good work!

[@byrdfeathers3552]

KCD1 was scuffed but amazing. I'm so glad KCD2 is getting the love it deserves.

[@oleg5738]

This game is definitely not for peiple who are used to quick gratification. A lot of games find this kind of gameplay tedious. Personally, I love it

[@ShadowsofRlyeh]

Consider Henry a Person in that World, Bro. Roleplay him: Would you, especially with your Mma Background, tackle 5 armed men? Nah, stay in your lane, you are blacksmith's son. Blacksmith. Hunt. Brew potions. Explore the World. Bird Nests in trees contain treasure. Wayshrines have offerings. Arm yourself. Get better with absolute menial stuff. It will pay out. Live in that World, don't think of It as a Game.

[@TheLazyPeon]

You make a good point, I think this game is so realistic that approaching certain situations like I would in other games has caused a few of those moments where I felt stuck

[@gregkral4467]

Love how in KCD 1 and 2, if you wanna survive, you have to actually do things you would normally do..... sure different time, but everything matters. And one hit can end ya.... gotta play it as you might live it. So cool.

[@jonathonborys3868]

Love these type of videos you have been doing lately. Also -- your fighting videos are S tier.

[@chrisjamesmagic8396]

I could totally see what you’re talking about. I’ve played it the first one a bunch. And it’s still crazy. One little tip though if you’re in an emergency if you just load out of the game it’ll save for you when you come back in. So at least that way you’re not losing hours of progress

[@GMan345ism]

Probably the most BRAINDEAD decision the Devs ever made even during KCD1. The install the Unlimited Save Mod.

[@user-jap84tlv24sq]

What a breath of fresh air! Yes I also died tons of times to a group of bandits right after prologue, but I pushed through and I loaded and loaded until it I beat them. I died and lost hour of gameplay but this did not stop me, this is fucken gaming!

[@Jedwardk]

Yes, please cover single-player games. To this day, your review of Outward sold me on the game back in the day.

I'm sold, these dev's get it they've made a game on a similar level to what Larian did with BG3.. a game full of passion and scope 👏 always happy to support good dev's in these trying times

[@theysisossenthime]

I love that we're seeing more sandbox like RPGs in recent years. Last involved crafting system like this that I played probably would have been back in the 90s. Games have been trending in point, click, and wait systems. I really wish that we would see an MMO with involved crafting again. The type of game were being a full time crafter is a realistic in game profession. Thanks for sharing this one.

[@funb4gss125]

You should absolutely do single player games! Just a few of the top of my head you can cover: Kingdoms of Amalur Re-Reckoning, Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen, We'd love to see you play Skyrim, Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2, BG3, Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2. Just the first ones that popped in my mind.

[@Harrowitz]

Great video glad to see youre branching out

[@allmusicplays]

shift while peddling backwards to create distance. Tab to lock onto opponent, and also switch between opponents and you're lucky they simplified the combat, before there were 2 down attacks instead of just 1 and right click to stab, but now its slightly different.

[@Grimslife89]

Super glad you like it I played through the first game quite a few times. Trying to get the best stat horse in the game of pain because all the horse horses from a seller get slaughtered. So you have to get enough money get high enough. I will get to the area and buy the horse all before this event happens. The world is so immersive. If you’re interested, what’s the developers talk about the first game? The level is realism and work they did with historians in a lot of different categories was crazy to make it as realistic as humanly possible

[@are_sh3509]

I haven't played kcd1 as well, and I love this game. It reminds me of both the Witcher 3 and Red dead redemption 2 with obviously more RPG focus and depth. I am sure it will be among my top favorites in the end.

[@KTslinger]

Yo, the way you are pronouncing "prologue" is killing me

[@JoelEverettComposer]

Don't feel too bad, I'm a veteran player from KCD 1 (250+ hours) and I over relied on the new "autosave" of KCD 2 and got set back by about an hour as I didn't think to Savior Schnapps Save and got into a needless fight with two bandits which didn't end well for me. All part of the game...

[@bellidrael7457]

LazyPeon is such a chill guy, every time I see anything from him he's smiling and having fun, or even when he's not enjoying something, he has the most chill 'rage' you will ever see. So why tf is this comments section so toxic lol.

[@Thelos90]

i like LazyPeon, but in 2024 he had a couple reviews that were just plain "bought" iykwim. For me, but im just a nobody/random yt user, i really dont believe his reviews anymore. Just watching for plain entertainment and thats also a great thing. edit: i saw barely any toxic comment about Peon. Only about the game and its optional gay stuff

[@madsisak]

I reached lvl 20 alchemy before departing on my adventure. Sustained a head injury upon my first bandit camp... no idea how to sort that out.. But I am mighty glad that I have 150+ health potions, whilst sorting shit out.

[@genehenson8851]

I've been on the fence about this one, but you convinced me to give it a shot. In my opinion, you should cover more single-player RPGs. MMOs are really boring and samey right now, but there are some great RPGs and cRPGs out now

[@OddEyeGuy]

Biggest thing to note is the performance is amazing I haven't had a single fuck up or crash and I've played for over 20 hours so far. I'm running everything on Ultra with a 4070 and weirdly enough I normally can't do that because of the restriction to VRAM. This though no problem

[@KalecStromhir]

kcd2 did a great job telling story of first one to help through 2. kcd1 is good, roughly about 100hrs+ easily. I'm thinking about replaying kcd1 to get a good refresher before i play kcd2. when too be my fav, this is up there with cp2077 (5 plays 800hrs+)

[@Yazevo]

this is just an updated kingdom come deliverance, everybody who played the first knows how special this will be!

[@cyteriz95]

yea i just like seeing you play more games, it's fun

[@DanteFeraco81]

Kcd is amazing can’t get enough of it, I’m a film maker I deff want to make a short film of the game!

[@mjong14]

KCD is funny as hell too. Definitely has one of the best dialogues. After playing KCD2, do yourself a favor and play the first game-it's just as good

[@heartoffire5902]

You look happy. It's beautiful to see 💖

[@ggoddkkiller1342]

An advice to new players always go sneaking way if you can until you get used to fighting. For example you need to clear a bandit camp, sneak into it during night and add poison into their food. They all will be dead shortly after breakfast lol. The real beauty of both KCD1 and KCD2 you can do literally anything. Play as you like, as you want. Quests always have multiple ways to finish them and NPCs often have different reactions to it. For example in first game there was a mission to track and locate a gang of bandits like 10 of them. And if you kill them instead and report it. NPC was going mad like how the heck you did that, it was so funny. Another good advice would be finding Mutt, our dog as soon as possible. He is surrounded by some wolves so don't go too early however, find some armor etc. Mutt is just OP in both first and second game and he will save your life dozens of times especially while fighting outnumbered. Keep feeding and praising him to build your relationship so he wouldn't run away too easily after getting hit twice.

[@43djem]

Its almost as if a game developer puts passion into the making of a game, it becomes good. Hmm strange.....

[@TheBadgertwo]

Yeah man, I've always been the same way. I really really want to like this game, but cutscene heavy FP games are also my kryptonite. Times are too tough right now to just wing it and hope I like it. I appreciate the insight.

[@Dreklore]

I've always appreciated your game review content. I think you should cover more solo games. If you're looking for a solid solo gaming experience, check out Ghost of Tsushima. It's well worth playing, especially before they release the follow up game.

[@mercster]

"pro-log"... the UE is tripping you up, but it comes after the G and is silent. (prologue)

The game is a lot better to someone who never experience the first game, cause the sequel isnt that much different than the first game.

Cryengine is incredible, we need more games on it.

[@GrippeeTV]

CryEngine isn’t as popular because it doesn’t have a lot of the bells and whistles that use AI and tech to simulate things that otherwise in CryEngine devs have to implement themselves. UE for example has a lot of things that the engine simply does FOR the devs, so it saves a lot on development. If you can use it to its fullest though, it’s an amazing engine - just takes more work.

[@WASkalman]

So tigherd of looking at ppl rating games when thay dont like that game type like somone rating a car race game that only playes MMO from the start, and give bad revies becorse of that thay dont like that type of game ,and say its a bad game . Thats why i always like Peon ,He is always true even if he is a bit sceptical ,Love to see his smile and when he gets impresst by the devs work .And when he does you know its a good game . I also like Peon whay that he tell what could be changed to make the game insted of just say the game sucks .Thanks Peon for the work you put in for us ,And to 99 % you always right ,and can see whats good and what is not ,Please Keep upp the good work .We are lucky to have you as a guide in cyber space ! ;) GG

[@Convictedization]

[@writerPiCryO]

I think real combat will be a lot faster than this. KCD2 combat feels like a swordfight in slow motion, but I guess the devs did it so that players without combat reflexes can react to enemy attacks.

so the difficulty is static and not dynamic? so if you cant beat those bandits at so low level maybe it would be wiser to do something else first and get your bearings? I like static difficulty way more, its the way things used to be until we got compass markers, yellow ledges, radio towers and all this other handholding

[@Hrithmus]

Best way to describe this game is a first person mid-evil dark souls light. You need to have the proper combat mechanics flushed out and gear does not help. Sprinkle in saving only with potions or beds. Not my type of game and I think a lot went into it blind since the first one released back in 2018. Be warned

You can wonder around in the woods for about 5 min and find belladonna and nettle. If you do it right, you'll get 3 potions per craft. I typically see about 6 belladonna in an area, nettle is everywhere, but that's nine potions if crafted correctly.
