Why did they shrink the head of all the character models?

[@vulcanjoe8258]

Too many games see’s us going on KZbin and looking up the best strategies / builds rather than experiencing it for ourselves, that’s what made the first one awesome and I really want to go in with zero guides / actually explore the game.

[@petrmiros9908]

This comment should have 30k likes. That person who some 20 years ago came with the concept of "build" destroyed gaming forever. People no longer want to enjoy the game, they want to break it with bugs and exploits and run through it as quickly as possible. No wonder this gen suffers an epidemic of ADHD. Why use your brain when some youtuber can use it for you.

[@italianspartacus]

I can't encourage this enough. My guide content will be geared towards explaining mechanics..I shan't be doing any build, quest, or like... Do this first type of content unless it's to tell people about game options or stuff that you have to work around. The best part about this game is the exploration. Why play someone else's game that tells you where to do when thats the point of the game

@@petrmiros9908i tried cyberpunk and just playing a long, getting any perks or attributes I liked and never focused on a build and when I let someone know im like 40hrs in cyberpunk he asked what build I have and I just said, I just put in random attributes and he was laughing and started explaing everything and what kind of build is good to one shot and whatnot… it did not sound fun so I will continue playing the game and having fun with my 3 pistols and random clothes because Im having fun!

I love kcd1. I've probably had 500 hours in it. The jankiest part of combat is actually probably the environment and getting caught in bushes or any sort of verticality. I once got launched 300 feet from an attack because I was in a bush.

[@strangeError]

I played a bit of KCD1, and picked it up again because of hype for 2. I never thought why I liked the game so much and never heard it exclaimed that way. It totally brings back the UO feeling of discovery. I miss that from high school.

[@The_Diginaut]

I'm at 2:50. You literally gave a TLDR at the beginning and told your viewers they're welcome to fuck off if they want (albeit a little more polite than that lol). What this does is give the watcher a complete overview of what the content of the video will be, and letting them decide if it's something they're interested in, or if they event want you to elaborate on the basic points. A viewer who would click off at that point, would have clicked off of your video ANYWAYS, but it shows respect and good faith towards the viewer and for that, you've gotten a sub. I don't even know what your channel is about, but I do know that you're the kind of content creator I'm willing to give my time to. A rare sight in a sea of clickbait titles and thumbnails, super drawn out second halves of videos to extend the length after they've drawn you in, and other manipulative tactics. Bravo.

[@BanHammerFiend]

I subbed for that exact reason then watched it through from start to finish on principal

[@IGreekI]

I bought KCD 1 after getting hyped for KCD 2. It was a hard sell at first, the combat mechanics were really frustrating and lock picking was enough to make my hair pull itself out. But I persevered and honestly, as the game progressed I found myself liking the game more and more. Lockpicking became a breeze and I was fighting groups of 5-6 enemies single-handedly and putting the manners on them without any potions. I still suck at archery though. I ended up finishing the game after about 140hrs of gameplay and was sad to do so. I wanted more. That for me is a measure of how good that game was - and I can't wait for KCD 2.

[@gustavotriqui]

KCD1 is specially tough at the start because not only the combat system is quite difficult and different to what most of us are used to in other game, it's also that Henry is a complete inept at the begining, by design, to fit the lore. So at the start you have to face both your own incompetence with the controls, and the fact that even if you knew what you were doing with the controls, Henry still does not react properly because he is the son of a peasant with exactly zero combat experience who suddenly find himself in the middle of a war against opponents who are actually trained warriors far better than him.

[@TheGilbertorr]

LOL! 7:30 killed me man. Always love your videos. I'm giving this a go after being interested in the first but passing it over.

[@TheAllanmeadows]

Loved the fist game as a niche. If this is basically the first game with all the systems polished up then it's a must have for me.

[@Badookum]

@@HollowBagel While granted, i absolutely agree the KCD2 drama is overblown and exaggerated, It's very disingenuous to call EVERYONE who thinks this game is going to be woke a grifter, a grifter is a conman who sells a false product, i hate how this word has been adopted by people like you who use it against anyone who they disagree with.

[@HollowBagel]

@ Almost every single channel I have seen talking about the drama when it comes up in my search results, is a career ragebaiter feeding on the culture wars and woke outrage to farm clicks and views from an impressionable and increasingly radicalized portion of the right wing. They do this by using incredibly sensationalized language in the title and thumbnails, even if the content of the video has little or nothing to do with what they claim it is. They often don't seriously believe what they're preaching, either, but are just using it as a platform to get money. If you don't call that grifting, then I don't know what is.

You sir are epic for making the UO reference! It's on my Mt. Rushmore of games. I played it (starting in late '97) for over half a decade and fondly recall taking me over 2 years to achieve GM smith playing almost every day (I mined my own ore). That game had a rare magic about it where it captured the imagination and made it feel like anything was possible if you were willing to keep grinding for the end goal(s). Lake Superior Shard forever!!! I'm went back and now I'm almost finished with KCD1 in preparation for KCD2. Everything I'm hearing sounds so promising and you teed this one up nicely with the endless possibilities and UO! (Oh btw, ***KCD1 spoiler alert*** Henry is Sr. Radzig's illegitimate son, so heraldry certainly could be a thing!)

I've always enjoyed your guides. A great job. Look, I loved KCD 1, yeah it is finicky and demanded a lot to master it (I've almost put in 1500 hours) but it was awesome when things clicked into place. I've achieved all trophys, except merciful, but have started a new playthrough to do so. I totally understand the general frustrations related to KCD1, but the enjoyment I got when I mastered hardcore mode and all neg perks was unparalleled to other gaming experiences (archery as an example). I'm really looking forward to KCD 2 and all it has to offer. So pleased speech has been reviewed, this was by far the hardest perk to max out and was a real point of frustration as it had no trainers and took hours to max (hardcore numbskull and this was pure torture).

[@O.LEO.N]

Hopefully the stamina meter won't count as your "armor meter" in this one. Taking damage from a falchion while wearing full plate, mail and padded armor just because my stamina is gone, is just about THE most unrealistic thing about the first game.

[@Sabamonster]

Sparty! - I knew there was a reason we got along! (Outside of the fact that you love history, you're a 40k nerd, and you have the word "Spartacus" in your name I mean.) - I no-lifed UO from the day of launch. I distinctly remember flipping out because it was the first game where, when you equipped a cloak, you could actually see it. Seems almost absurd now, but nothing has taken me to another place like UO did. Jesus does this game 'feel' different to look at now; compared to what it felt like sitting in front of it back them. Holy Hell. This game changed everything for me. Met a few people online that I ended up moving half-way across the country with because of it. Amazing chapter of my life; especially considering that back then, all of this shit was new. It's fuckin nuts how far things have come since then. I truly hope I get lost in KCD II to the same degree. As always, you're a rockstar dude! Keep doin your thing!

Posing at Brit Bank with your best gear on and showing your proud grandmaster Mage status, running in terror from Ophidians at their keep when you realized their deadly poison kept gonig through your warrior's bandies, or the first time you venture into Fel and get Pked....those were the days! Now we oldies get to experience RPGs we could never have imagined....Cyberpunk with path tracing and mods, Skyrim modded to look next gen etc. KCD2 will certainly be a welcome addition...cannot wait till the 4th!

[@Chronyxt]

Been playing through the 1st game now for about 30ish hours and it has its ups and downs, from what I could see in all these videos and impressions it seems like they took everything that made the 1st game good into better while addressing some other issues. I have high hopes for the game and honestly cannot wait to get my hands on it to have a go, it's only a week away now so I'm thinking I should pick up the pace to get the 1st game done and over with in time to get into the 2nd one

I know you can change your bindings so this really shouldn't matter, but I was hoping the game would "auto switch" depending on who you were looking at, rather than having to manually target

[@GreyOrGray4]

Its a pretty janky game. Obviously, the longer you play and get used to it you can maybe look past that, but nonetheless it is pretty janky. Late game combat is a lot of standing around and waiting for the enemy to swing because master strikes were way too strong for both you and the enemy. Its almost impossible to use combos since they'll constantly master strike or perfect parry you. I still loved the game, but it definitely had its faults and its no surprise that it doesn't click with everyone.

[@GreyOrGray4]

@@macman32579 I imagine its more to do with the combat. Once you and enemies know how to master strike, its mostly just standing around waiting for them to hit you. Master strikes were way too op for both you and the enemy, and I'm glad that they're changing that for the second game.

Bought KCD1 straight back in the day and finished it the first time a week ago thanks to the clunkiness at first and going through two pc:s after. Found a save last spring that was some 250 hours in and decided to tackle it. Combat was still somewhat jarring but at least the bows were somewhat fixed and after ditching shield with swords the game got better. Still using a shield with mace though.. Looking forward to two and probably after completing it before DLC hit, starting the first all over again as having had mod for saving previously the achievements of early game didn't stick.

When he said "nay" at 2:05 instead of no, I was invested in the review.

I can't wait to play KCD2. I've got 400 hours in KCD1 and 100 of that has been in the past month finishing off an old completionist run and starting a new run. I also bounced off of the combat in KCD1, but I got around it by going very heavily into archery. So far, the only way I've killed Runt is by shooting him in the face. In my new run, I have FINALLY grokked combat, thanks to That Other Gamer's awesome insight into perfect blocks. I still can't pull off a combo in KCD1, however. 😂

[@Pest789]

I'm also extremely excited about playing it completely blind. I never could with the first one because I had such a rough time with combat I immediately turned to guides just to try to figure out what the hell I was doing wrong.

[@jasonrabeiro2009]

I played Red Dead Redemption 2 once it came out, completed it, loved the story, and never touched it again. I still never want to play it again, I find the game too annoying. It's not the realism that bothers me because I love realism in games, it's the fact that the systems are so hard-coded into a "right" way to play and a "wrong" way to play. I love KCD 1 because the game is realistic, but there is no singular "right" way to play it. To use your example of bumping someone and then getting a bounty put on you in RDR2, in KCD1 I would have had the chance to talk the guard down and explain why I didn't do anything wrong, pay a fine, go to jail, or just run away and avoid the town for a couple of days until everyone forgets the bounty exists. I love that KCD 2 is more refined and accessible, but if you truly love it then I recommend revisiting KCD 1 also. While cruder and less polished, most of the same mechanics exist in both games. If you gained an appreciation for the KCD way of playing by the end of your KCD 2 review, it would be awesome to revisit the original and see how you feel about it now.

It's going to be a long 7 days...

[@AlisteirCrowley]

Honestly kcd 1 took me 3 tries to get into so i get what you mean. But damn that game got me hooked once it got its claws into me

[@ihgfhifsdhogi]

Ah UO! What a game. Miss that game in those days so much

[@MoonTaLoo]

What was that first game you were showing?

[@italianspartacus]

Ultima Online!

[@MoonTaLoo]

@@italianspartacus thank you!

[@kumarsalib722]

I really appreciate you adding the TLDW/BLUF.

[@Zerotype1]

As a fellow addict of Ultima Online, KCD scratched an itch that has been left unscratched for decades...

[@italianspartacus]

Sosaria - err... Bohemia! Awaits

[@captainzaurcabarov]

Are you still playing Ultima Online? I’m currently playing on the UO Outlands server while waiting for the gold version of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, which I’ve preordered. I can’t help but imagine-what if a new Ultima Online were made with the depth and realism of KCD2? That would be my dream game.

[@italianspartacus]

I literally just started last week! I heard Outlands is awesome so I figured fuck it I'll give it a try. I left Shelter island the other day so I'm starting to sink my teeth into the progression. It's super unique

[@captainzaurcabarov]

@italianspartacus Outlands is the best Ultima Online server I've ever played on, and it's highly populated. There are many friendly players online every day. The developers constantly add new content and keep the server updated with patches. It's an amazing server! ❤️👍

[@captnredbeard7073]

Glad to hear it feels "So much tighter" 😂

[@gwyndlin]

Henry's shining like an angel in the sun in that stat screen. I wonder if you're a bad boy, does that turn red or get cloudy or something?

[@rcguy2175]

will i be able to run it with a nvidia rtx 3070 8GB

[@pix00l]

10 hours to go!!! Im so hyped

[@rjstrong321]

My current plan is to 1. Get lucky and buy a 5090 FE (upgrading from a 1070). 2. buy KCD2. 3. Enjoy the squeal to a game I've loved playing.

[@bigcrazewolf]

1070 does meet the minimum I believe as to how it will look is another thing. I'm still rocking my 1070ti and just found lossless scaling on steam and it really was worth all 7 dollars.

[@warden.5599]

@@bigcrazewolf it really is a GOAT app

[@yuron8210]

buy AMD cards

[@croonyerzoonyer]

I love a good squeal.

[@SMoKe-_-024]

Sir you better keep your fingers off my 5090 or else I will ......... Good luck they release on the 31 of next month everyone. That's in February to be clear 😉😉

[@t-revstastetube8900]

I loved this first one and can't wait to play the second one the combat was exactly like that Henry was way overpowered a third of the way in

[@josephfriend7442]

Tried so hard to max all stars in KCDI...gave up after getting most to 20, and the rest all above 15, just to read all the skill books

[@wdcarey42]

Refreshing to see a KCD2 vid that understands those of us that didn’t get the hype of KCD1… so many other reviewers out there don’t understand that some of us don’t want to dedicate time or even have the time to dedicate to learning and pushing through the sometimes boring and frustrating jank of the first game! Other people are always making me feel crazy for not LOVING KCD1 and not dropping everything to go play through it right now before KCD2 releases. Thank you, fantastic review that details so many exciting improvements from the first game!!!
