@@NikoBased I think it's pretty underrated since it was produced by rather unknown studio and released with very little advertising. The first time I even heard of it was when it was advertised as on sell in the PlayStation store and I did some research on the game and decided it was worth a shot since there was so many customization options and branching storylines depending on your actions and it was half off with all dlcs included. From what I understand it only got big sells after it was released for awhile through word of mouth from players who enjoyed the game. The people I've spoken to about the game either randomly stumbled upon it like i did or it was recommended by a friend, so it's safe to say that it's underrated as of now but if sells continue to grow strong we might call it overrated when looking back years later lol

[@jaysonp9426]

Nice to see critics who point out all the good things

[@soundgfx7166]

There were complex historical sword techniques in game that can be unlocked and used, the gameplay footage shown to these guys were just basic stuff. The techniques were literally straight out of a historical manual.

[@ColeRobertson-il3vd]

It’s nice to know the developers took their time and really tried to make it as realistic as possible.

[@SandyChyks]

This video came up on my recommended about a year or so ago and it spurred me to go and buy KCD. It’s definitely worth the purchase. Sure there are a few bugs/glitches, but the story is phenomenal and I find myself coming back to it over and over like how I did with Skyrim over the years.

[@3LZ0RR0]

Look! Andrew and Paul's come to see us! Lord be praised

[@jimbeaux89]

Best game I’ve ever played. This breakdown was really insightful as well.

[@rfm3253]

This was pretty wholesome not gonna lie. They did a good job.

[@leloshi4754]

[@supersasukemaniac]

As you said about the hands and wrists being the target you want to go for, when I was Wrestling in High School the coach always talked about how important wrist control was, saying "As soon as you grip that wrist, he under your control, and can make him do anything."

[@papadapolas853]

Can you get some professional bugs to react to hollow knight

[@coldhotpocket8226]

Would love to see this one.

[@GaMeRfReAkLIVE]

Kingdom Come is one of the best games ever made. In terms of gameplay, story, combat, world immersion. Its a beautiful work of art

[@tbone9474]

Anyone here after the kcd2 announcement ?

[@wannabe6732]

Yep lol been a fan of kcd sense it’s release tho.

[@agenttxgaming4409]

Imagine an online mode with the combat for this game, have an ESPORTS tourney with HEMA commentators, that'd be sick.

[@user-gm4kv2my4u]

Wouldn't work. It would just be a parry fest. Who ever hits the most master strikes wins. The game is also much more dependent on stats than some people want to admit. If Henry is low level, he gets bodied. High level, with right skills, he cooks everyone that tries to 1v1. A game like Chivalry or Morheim would be better for that. Even then, it'll end up being more interesting in theory than practice. Kind of like that high tech armor they made for sword fighting sports years back.

[@venchikdok]

Who's here after KCD 2 announce?

[@lorddiethorn]

Me

[@tristintaylor7999]

I just figured out the archery in this game thanks to these two, your reticule is just above the knuckle. Now I feel dumb and hopefully get better at archery

[@krauterbaron360]

hey from germany ,that was really interesting,i think we need more histroical games like kingdom come deliverance or red dead redemption 2 would count even mafia or la noire, games where u can feel the age of time while playing

[@ExoSquadOffical]

Great content, thank you guys so much!

[@YupImNegus]

I thoroughly enjoyed this. I knew nothing of HEMA, still watched it, and learned a lot, while laughing. 😄😄

[@thebusey543]

I'm impressed that they're impressed with it. This game pissed me off in the prologue so much.. so glad I stuck with it, it's such a gem.

[@koin176]

Every time I see this game, I always think, "How long would it take to take over this kingdom as a Lawbringer?"

[@theprovoloneman281]

Like 20 minutes probably. He’s realistically invincible due to his ridiculous strength,size and armor. Not to mention he has one of the best weapons he could use.

[@Kingdomkey123678]

All it would take is a ballista bolt or canon ball to end a lawbringer. Yes they had canons in the 1400s, infact it was thanks to canons that the Ottomans conquered the Byzantine Empire (1452)

[@theprovoloneman281]

Skaianet this kingdom specifically doesn’t seem to have anything of the sort like cannons in the game. In real life, yea I guess that’d be his only weakness.

[@soleo2783]

@@theprovoloneman281 I could be wrong but i think this came takes place in the country side, maybe closer to the capital they had more advanced stuff? I would like to be corrected tho.

[@KNINESVIDS]

Love this game, my 1st play through i managed to miss picking up a shield, came across a bandit camp while exploring 5 guys cam out but only 1 with a mace and heavy armour approached and absolutely effed me up while the others watched 🤣 very confidence destroying

YASS! Thanks again to Gamology! for bringing the HEMA guys! These guys are the real deal instead of those "sword experts"!

Indeed. They should call those videos "sword tag experts".

[@Stasi-man]

For Honor execution reactions would be cool to watch

[@rift1067]

I'm curious about that too. Some of the vanilla executions could work very well in a practical environment. But for the most part, newer executions are more about flair than kill confirmation, so they tend to go overboard with it. Whereas most of the earlier Warden executions were clean and efficient, latter ones down the line are more boastful and distracting in a real life situation.

[@ashwynnnewkirk]

From someone who knows and trained with the master who did the KCD: No attacking low is not stupid. It points to the origin of the strike, not it's target. Yeah, cutting at his leg would get you killed but "strike lowdown" means "upward strike". You are still trying to cut his head, you just cut from a low guard.

[@lorddiethorn]

Or his arm or you baiting him into attacking you and hitting him with a kumpa the master strikes I suck with the German spelling

[@ashwynnnewkirk]

@@lorddiethorn Yeah, but Robert is not really all that much fan of Unterhau on arm. They are easily avoided or cut through. Yes from certain situations you can go for armpit etc... but cutting his head open is just much simpler - and it tends to be the closest thing to you anyway. If we're cutting on hand it's usually some sort of shortened cut, not a full strike. You don't want to invest that much energy in something that easily avoided. It's like why Meyer dropped stabbing and lunges. It's too much of a risk/investment in a situation where it isn't exactly necessary.

[@dorkmax7073]

In the High Middle Ages, they had distinguishing terms for swords. Shakespeare's characters (late 1500s) don't call for a sword, they call "My longsword, ho!".

[@moonknightish]

Late 1500 is not middle ages

[@lorddiethorn]

He didn’t live in the Middle Ages

[@TheAurelianProject]

I also like how gauntlets can be just as good as a weapon in this game which is realistic. Lesser games would act like a hit to the gauntlets would be no different than having no gauntlets.

[@martinez-ex4dk]

Im so proud to be from the Czech Republic! It's good that thanks to Kingdom Come people will learn a little bit about our culture/history

Greetings from Poland. I love this game, the world look so familiar like I was taking a walk at some plains and forests nearby.

Kingdom come is very underrated. It has its annoying things like Fast travel and getting to fight more than 3ppl but it's a very good game with various things to customize your character and choose what kind of fighter you want to be, music and story is amazing. Also you can solve one quest in various ways keeps everything interesting till the last. It's a long have and want the second one to launch soon coz main story is left on a hiatus. Good game

[@saviergg2351]

Ive wanted to play kingdom come for soo long but since I'm kind of hindered on Xbox with a controller, its a nightmare to play especially against more than 2 people, I'm getting a kb and m soon so hopefully I can experience the game in full as I love games like these

Only in early game dude, once you have high level equipments and "cheese" combat perk. Trust me you will hope you will get ambushed. And eventually hunt them bandits alone 😏👌
