Kingdom Come: Deliverance II - MEDIEVAL IS BACK!!!

[@kenpe1455]

Playing the first game right now. Criminally underrated and what's up with the low metacritic score? Probably buggy launch because the game deserves 90+ score.

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

I never ran into any noticeable bugs when I played my first stint in 2018. I think most of that low score has to do with the high level of difficulty. The game really makes you feel like a sheltered blacksmiths son (at least in the ways of the sword). Once you level up and train sword fighting and archery get better and enjoyable. But you have to put in the time.

[@kenpe1455]

@@TheDutchTexanGames yes plus the fact many woke game journalists hate Vavra.

[@doposud]

It had bit buggy launch but devs were working on it fast , it is one of the most underrated games out there that's sure. The main guy behind this game is Daniel Vávra who is also responsible for Mafia 1 ( in those times it was amazing game) One of the few developers that are making games to create the best ones possible not the most profitable

[@zekeolopwi6642]

Definitely because it's difficult. You can easily miss out on quests and get your ass whipped seven ways to sunday. When I bought it on release I was just an Itty bitty HS freshmen and I couldn't bring myself to finish it. Started up again my junior year and now I'm 20 and am still playing. Honestly a game for people who appreciate history and can deal with more hardcore classic rpg stuff.

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

I have my limits though... The monastery quest? Lets just say I served 10 days in jail for a murder...

[@microvuette]

Doing my first full playthrough right now and I love the realistic setting of the game. I hope this release sparks the development of more medieval realism.

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

It is extremely well done. I am actually playing it right now!

[@CrzBonKerz21]

Like a Rockstar game set in medieval era

[@wizzz88]

best advice- play slow, iv done 20ish side quest and I haven't even trained with captain Bernard yet. got a horse and 12000 groschen, and full armor. its about the journey.

[@Rekaert]

The moment I heard the announcement I immediately installed KCD1 again for a hard-core playthrough. I can't wait for this one.

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

It should be this year which makes me very happy! Too many game devs / studios keep leaking stuff for years and year which makes the wait that much more excruciating. And it makes it hard to keep the hype alive. They should be able to drip feed us some new tidbits till the release date quite easily. An interview here and there, some new footage we haven't seen that only expands on the stuff we already know about and not the story. Or not at all since the release is relatively close anyway. But bare minimum we'll get a release trailer when they are confident they can release.

[@Thargellor2]

I am totally with you. I was trapped since the game's Kickstarter announcement, and since the release i have approx 1500 hours spent in KCD1. I'm sure the KCD2 will be an absolute gem.

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

I knew about it and was on the fence initially. Then I gave it a shot and it was all over. Top tier game. And KCD2 looks like it will be pushing that to the next level.

[@wizzz88]

lol I just checked steam iv played 16736.6 hours also. Hey Warhorse you should hire us.

[@Thargellor2]

@@wizzz88 wow, you sure about the 16k hours? That would mean you have played KCD more than 8 hours every single day since it's release 😃. Didn't you mean 1,6k hours?

[@rados6826]

the KCD1 today, with all bugs fixed, add-ons and beefy PC looks and plays gorgeous. A must play. Can't wait for second one

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

My i7 4790k is melting inside the cities. But I have all the goodies on (minus anti aliasing and blur because I dislike both for some reason) and high textures. The next one is going to be a no go... But if by some miracle the 4790k still makes the cut I am going to try and run it. Heck, I might still because it's what I do.

[@rados6826]

@@TheDutchTexanGames you could lower graphic a little bit to match your spec, with added HD textures it still looks very good. I have well tuned rented PC with I9 and 4090, all setting on max and it runs buttery smooth and beautiful. They worked on optimization for years, on release the game was unplayable. I believe they learned and second game will be much better on release. I hope

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

If it doesn't run well on a 4090 and an i9 we'd have problems I think! My CPU is definitely the bottleneck. We'll find out one way or another in the coming year!

[@AndrewMiE]

I don’t think the intro was cheesy at all. It was executed well.

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

It's cheesy... in a good way. I love the interactions between Henry and Hans, and I love how the actors have that same vibe going on. I expect more of the same in KCD2. Can't get enough of it personally!

[@Jordan-rb28]

I agree, I actually really loved the intro. Like AsmonGold said; "there were 100 ways that intro could have been cringe, and they did it the one way it wasn't"

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

Exactly, I was smiling ear to ear when I saw it. I was like: You goofballs... I just love the chemistry those two have, it 100% translates into the voice acting.

[@AndrewMiE]

@@TheDutchTexanGames I see what you mean. So excited for this.

[@jimbeaux89]

Never been more excited for a game!!

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

For me it's right up there with Mass Effect. That is my favorite trilogy and I have put in over 400 hours in that world. My last play-through was 150 of that alone doing every side quests I could get my hands on. KCD? Currently sitting at 135 hours, not done with the current play-through and the second game is supposed to be bigger in scope. It might overtake Mass Effect as the game I spent the most time in.

[@jimbeaux89]

@@TheDutchTexanGames man I loved KOTOR 1&2, jade empire and have always wanted to play the ME trilogy, but never have. Until about 2 years ago and I downloaded the legendary edition of the trilogy and loved every second of it. I’ve played all 3 about 4 times in the past 2 years! Can’t wait for the 4th one, but I really hope they don’t mess it up lol But I’m being completely honest when I say that I have about 3,500 hours into KCD. I looked at all of my playthroughs throughout all of my accounts, and it tallied up to about 3,500 hours lol I absolutely love that game. And it’s all the more crazy that it was made by an independent, kick started studio (at the time). KCD 2 really looks like it’s taking everything good about the first one and making it better!

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

You did yourself a massive favor by not playing Mass Effect till the legendary edition came out. It smoothed the experience in the first game and also brought it in line with the other two when it came down to player models. AND you got all the DLCs with it. So it was a complete package. I got great hopes for the next one but we'll have a decent wait ahead of us unfortunately. And yes, KCD2 is more of the same of KCD1, just better. At least, that is the message the footage is giving me. Can't wait to learn a little more, maybe some gameplay footage, you know... Typical hype building till release later this year. It's going to be good!

[@george46light]

Great video brother, leuk om te zien!

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

Is ook erg leuk om te doen, vooral als je het spel gaaf vindt! Thanks!

[@wizzz88]

ohh blacksmithing, cool. wonder if i can use the Blacksmith recipe from that quest "tricks of the trade"

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

Things from KCD1 unfortunately don't carry over to KCD2 when it comes down to save game / inventory.

[@Jordan-rb28]

Great video!

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

[@PetrusEksteen]

So the franchise title "Kingdom Come" is referring to the topical kingdom of God which is finally fulfilled in the reformation, which would explain why the series doesn't shy away from showing the evils of medieval Catholicism

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

Johanka’s DLC quest at the Sasau Monastery really shows the realities of going against the church in that time period. I can’t love the game more.

[@PetrusEksteen]

@@TheDutchTexanGames I picked up the DLC in the recent sale, keen to play through that one! Last playthrough I did 'Tis But a Scratch so this time I guess it's a pacifist run

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

@@PetrusEksteen yup, I picked up all the DLC for less than 10 bucks here too. Massive deal. I was on the fence before that sale but when I checked after the KCD2 reveal I noticed it was deeply discounted, shared it on the KCD reddit as soon as I saw and hit that buy button. I hope they will do another deep discount run when they eventually (hopefully) do a release date trailer. I really want people to experience the first game. I think the next one will overshadow the original.

[@donaldbeck706]

With 2,500 + hours on, KCD has only hung up a very few times, I always thought it runs great on ASUS pc. Cant't wait for KCD 2 yeah!

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

In 135h I only had one recent cut to desktop. IMHO KCD1 was put together extremely well.

[@CzechMirco]

Tereza shouldn't be in this game, because they stated repeatedly that Rataje, Skalice and the whole region around it (Posázaví) won't feature in the second game. They haven't explicitly state that Tereza won't be in the game, but the only way for her to appear would have been if she travelled to Kutná Hora or Trosky, which sounds quite unrealistic.

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

Trosky is quite far but Kuttenberg is about a day on foot and far less on horseback from Rattay. Not at all that unrealistic IMHO. I won’t be heartbroken if she doesn’t show up but it does make sense if she does.

[@CzechMirco]

@@TheDutchTexanGames Thats 21st century American thinking. Unmarried peasant women in 15th century Bohemia didn't make long trips like that unless accompanying their male relatives, and that only if the situation was extremely important (one of the exceptions was a pilgrimage to holy sites), not to mention that she has a homestead to run. Yes, the devs could probably create a convoluted reason for her to travel to Kutná Hora but it wouldn't make much sense from the gameplay point of view either: they want the player to have as much free range with Henry as possible (remember the "Lover" epithet from trailer?), Tereza's presence would have hindered him gameplaywise.

[@EMPEROR_JULIANUS]

Kcd was een geweldige game gemaakt met pure passie kan niet wachten op kcd2 🙂

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

Zeker! Het druipt er gewoon vanaf! Het gaat super cool worden denk ik!

Herny come to see us

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

And he's hungry!

[@hazendo1z836]

i hope the pole axe is still OP in kcd2. i love slaughtering guards & bandits with it

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

The animation on that poleaxe was so odd though! But I have used it to dispatch bandits as well if I managed to get thrown off my horse. Good to keep them at "pole" length so they can't hit you but you can definitely hit them!

[@antonioferrante]

Do you know if this will be released on the PS4?

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

It is most likely next gen only. I doubt my current PC can even run it anymore. They are using the same engine but they have upped the detail level a lot which is going to be using a ton of horsepower to display.

[@antonioferrante]

@@TheDutchTexanGames Damnn that means I'll probably miss this game :(

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

You'll miss it on release. It'll be there, ready for you, when you upgrade down the line!

[@ToxicFaith42]

I just hope we can do weapon combos without being constantly interrupted by master strikes. That kinda ruined the combat for me in the first game.

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

I have only landed the shorter ones myself. I usually end up waiting till my opponent makes the first move, block him and go for the attack.

[@spatrk6634]

i usually do master strike myself, and then follow by a combo. that usually works.

[@donnikubbitz2146]

Gossip: Anyone notice something kind of recurring in the trailer? DARK-BLACK-EERY-CREEPY-SCARY-SAD-DREAD-CHURCH-DEATH? I'm calling it now, I think we lose Henry. Maybe I'm nuts but, at this point, I'd be comfy betting on it.

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

I have lost Henry a lot of times in KCD1. No doubt I will lose him in KCD2. I know you are talking about the story, as in character death. It is possible. And I would be gutted since I really am on team "happily ever after". But those times are hard times. You live by the sword, you'll die by one eventually.

[@rafox66]

Weird question, but which part of the Netherlands are you or your ancestors from? It's likely just a coincidence, but you look so similar to me that we could share the same great grandfather.

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

I'd have no clue actually. Not that preoccupied with that honestly. Probably the center like most Dutch people?

[@rafox66]

@@TheDutchTexanGames Oh okay, that's a shame. I just thought maybe you would've known since you seemed proud of your heritage/ancestry considering the channel name and all. And I don't mean to pry into your privacy or be rude in anyway, I was just interested because I am Northern Dutch and I saw a striking resemblance in your appearance. So I just had to ask because it's a small world and you never know lol.

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

I just highlight I was made in the Netherlands I suppose. We don't have an interesting lineage. Just working class people (farmers) as far as I know.

[@rafox66]

@@TheDutchTexanGames All good, if you do ever develop an interest you'd be surprised how far back you can find your ancestors in the registers. Personally I have found forefathers as far back as the 1400s, one apparently owned lands where a monastery was built. And I also always thought they were just some farmers. Anyway, have a good day.

[@gregkral4467]

definitely hated kcd1 at first..... of course, when Henry is as useless as tits on a boar. but dang.... once you dedicate time to build him up.. immersion was epic. So looking forward to number 2. Is gonna rock.

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

Put the training time in, the armor plate on and Henry becomes a battle tank! There are times I get hit a couple of times in the end game and I don't lose any health at all. Early Henry would have been gone... The second game is 100% going to rock.

[@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique]

The developers only focused on 1vs1 combat. They forgot about battlefield 1vs3 or more combat 🤷 Fighting multiples enemies, they’ll do ninja agility slash head strikes repeatedly. They are focused and strike with precision. Dashing all around you like some Naruto Saske crap ☝️ Auto aim is lame 🤣

[@Thargellor2]

They did not forgot about it. They ran into issues with time, money and engine limitations during KCD1 development. Something that they solved now, so hopefully we'll see a better combat with multiple enemies in KCD2.

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

Yup, which is why my tactic is peeling off attackers and making sure I can 1v1 them if my arrows don't take them out in the process. 1v2 usually works if I back up but I don't think I have ever survived versus more plated enemies. I've cut down peasants with weapons all day though. They're squishy.

[@KosmoAlx]

8 h a day , 🤨 more like 10 h , liar .

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

What are you on about?

[@KosmoAlx]

​​@@TheDutchTexanGamesI've played this game more than 8 h per day because I've loved it. Got home from work , eat some food , and played till i had to sleep(because of work). Even in my dreams i was there. Finished the game and got depressed. P.S. on p.s. 4 (loading game).

[@TheDutchTexanGames]

Hahaha! Yeah, it might have been like that on the first day. But I slowed down towards the end there. My current play is about 3-4 hours if I got the energy to do so after work. That adulting life! The weekend tends to be a longer session.
