[@Bassalicious]

Sorry to hear about your dad. That's a rough one. KCD has sentimental value for me because it cured an itch I had since I was a little kid. I can't imagine what it must mean to you. I've always wanted a game like KCD but got disappointed every time the pictures on the back of the box didn't reflect what I imagined at all. I remember Morrowind had a screenshot of first person sword fighting on the box and I instantly bought it. Granted I didn't regret that one but it also wasn't really what I was looking for either. Then as an adult checking out new medieval themed releases, gameplay videos and trailers I was constantly disappointed by over the top arcade physics, magic, stupid armour or weapons in looks and or mechanics, a lack of depth or what have you. Nothing quite did the trick. Then KCD came along and just did the thing. Not flamboyant, not turned to 11, not dumbed down or stereotyping, just exactly what it says on the tin: a first person medieval role-play simulator that holds up to the scrutiny of nerds like myself with a good (and even historically based) story on top. I'm literally frothing at the mouth thinking about what KCD2 will bring to the table. I can't wait. Time for another hardcore play-through in preparation :)

I just started playing this game a few days ago, and I agree 100% with your thoughts. What really got to me was your dads brain injury story. My dad was in a peddle bicycle accident over 8 years ago with a severe TBI and is a completely different now, an angry person who just yells at me if I even say hi to him. He believes stories that never remotely happened about me or my mom, won't accept any sort of help from me or anyone, hates my mom (who has cancer, 1 leg and has been slowly dying for the past 7), refuses to buy her groceries (I've been doing it the past 9 years). It's been completely and truly horrible and a nightmare and I have and have had zero family for all those years to help at all. It's very, very hard. This game has become in recent days a challenging escape as well. Thanks.

[@abnushagnasty805]

It’s one of the best games ever made. It’s in my top 5 best games of all time. Raven’s beak and Bailiff’s mace are still my go-to favorite weapons. After every hiatus, I do several rounds of training with Bernard just to get acclimated with the amazing combat system. I can’t wait for KCD2!

As a Romanian, Kingdom Come Deliverance is the game in which I got immersed the most. I felt like I was there each time I played it... The houses, the music (especially the music) and everything else reminded me of how Romania was back in the day. It also reminded me of that cartoon "Hungarian Folk Tales", of which many elements are also seen in Romanian folklore (and vice versa). I don't know, I really loved that game.

Lock, this is an incredibly compelling overview of KCD and it has really piqued my interest. I'm so sorry to hear about what you went through with your father. My father had dementia the last couple of years of his life and became too difficult for my mother to handle so he ended up in a nursing home where he was sedated 24/7 just so they didn't have to deal with potential aggression... or him and his confusion in general. I cannot imagine how harrowing it would be to take that on myself the way you did and it speaks to an almost heroic character quality you must be imbued with. KCD offering you some sort of respite from the hell you must've been living in at the time is a testament to the power of certain games and it's probably the most potent endorsement one could give to this game. I'm quite intrigued!

I heard of this game in 2018 and was hype to hear about it back in the day. Only to my horror that the game was bugged as hell. This killed my hype for it as it was waiting for the game to come out. I forgot about it until we had the lockdown in 2020. I remembered the game and saw that the game was now stable and decided to get the Royal Edition that included ALL the DLC and boy was it worth it. I was beyond impressed with this game and how many hours I have put into it. I played it on Console first and put in probably 80 hours. When I decided to build my PC I got the game and I have at least 35 hours into it, I took a break from it. But Now I'm putting in a lot of hours again after KCD2 Announcement and it's still amazing and beautiful. This game is an immersive one of a kind game. I just hope they do not botch the launch again and deliver a seamless experience.

I decided one night about 3 days after release (I remember very well) to buy KCD. This game helped me escape from the hell I was living in at the time and I swear I did not touch any other games during that period. This game saved me just as it did to you.

Thank you for telling that story about your dad. This game is special to me too. I played it all during Covid, which is impactful enough because that was such a tough time for us all. But KCD was the recommendation of my cousin Dennis, who replayed the game at the same time I did and we talked almost every day about it. Even after I beat the game, Dennis and I would talk about KCD and our hopes for the sequel. He beat the original game on hardcore mode and made his own videos. Dennis passed away earlier this year. Complications during cancer treatment. It was a tough time but I talked to his family a lot about our love of this game.

​@@resellingwithjon I was secretly telling you this game is so good it ruined other games for me a bit :D Not everyone feels the same obviously but for me KCD shot straight up to my best games ever - and I've been gaming for several decades, too. It makes getting through a backlog hard: I played my first playthrough of KCD and was absolutely floored. Then I thought "Okay, I never replay games. I have to do something else." So I played The Witcher 3 from my backlog. When I finished I fired KCD back up straight and smiled for two hours picking herbs because I felt "home". Went on to replay KCD twice after that, for a total of three times, and I still want to go back.

I had this game in my steam library for almost 2 years before I downloaded it just bcs i didnt have anything else to play. Few hours in and i fell in love with this game. It can be clunky experience but damn worth playing it. Not for everyone tho.

[@Demovement]

U telling me that my 2 favorite games had to so with the same guy? Masterfull

[@Beencheeling]

I totally did not know master Dan Varvra actually was a dev for mafia, man that's such a good game, maybe not to this day but the remake sure is.

So happy to hear Lock over on these channels! Didn’t realize some folks were shitting on his addition to the channels so now I gotta offset the man children crying that a different tone is hitting their eardrums.

[@micho4324]

This is probably my favorite game ever. Cant wait for 2nd one

Great video Lock, looking forward to more of your euro/pc gaming perspective in future RR videos

Just stared my second play thru. its even better the second time because i know what to do now

[@ashwinters9315]

Grinding at the beginning and getting rich before the game really starts! I love it 😄

[@oxenfurt89]

it is the purest most genuine game I played in years, can't wait for the sequel

KCD slaps. I played it on Series X originally and it was an absolute banger, I’ve since ascended to the PCMR and KCD bangs even harder. I am unable to remain still in anticipation of the sequel. Henry is a fantastic character and the many people you meet along the way stand alongside him in this regard. I haven’t felt excitement like this since the run up to Fallout 4, with maybe Red Dead 2 being ranked just as highly in the context of my hype. Oh yeah and I only played it on hardcore with all negative perks. Learning the map by sight lines was unbelievably rewarding yet suitably tedious.
