[@peggymoexd]

I was obsessed with KCD when I first discovered it (not sure when it launched but I played in 2019) so I'm very excited to play the sequel

[@KastaRules]

I have been playing videogames since the days of the COMMODORE 64 back in the '80s. Experience has thought me to never be that hyped over anything. But as a History nut I cannot help it but be incredibly excited about the sequel of that masterpiece that "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" is.

[@XGiveMeLibertyX]

18:32 KCD2! I can’t wait for this game I hope it’s good!. So glad more authentic medieval games are being made I’m so tired of fantasy medieval games.

[@factormars4339]

Same here. I love so much Kingdom come deliverance, when i play it it stays in my mind, i think how i can do this or this in the game. Same i can’t wait for the 2.

[@Grapefruit5000]

God, I love Kingdom Come Deliverance

[@virulence1892]

Never finished KCD. I'm the type of person to rush through leveling up, finding all the treasures, just so I could not die in nearly every combat scenario. Eventually I lost track of where I was and just kept restarting. I loved the combat and the exploration, but Henry knows how much I've died.

[@design834]

You can level up pretty much everything in Skalitz. Only speech, alchemy, pickpocketing, houndmaster, horsemanship, and a few other skills cannot be (fully) leveled up. I do this for Hardcore, and I've played Hardcore on console, so it is doable. Just make sure to take a break from the main quest at the right time.

[@tylermathews6788]

You need to dedicate a similar amount of time to learning skills in KCD as you would in real life. You wouldn't pick up a sword and within a day know how to use it, let alone against multiple enemies, and KCD uses a sim-like approach so you really do need to train for days at a time to give Henry any chance in combat. Next time you play, don't go to Neuhof until you've trained all weapon types with Bernard to around level 10. Getting into alchemy can help too, once you're brewing Schnapps consistently, you can save at your leisure before every fight! :)

[@virulence1892]

@@tylermathews6788 Best advice I've gotten. This is why I ask people rather than Google it.

[@alexanderammerl2404]

KCD is one of the most unique and best games of all time. I am so exited for the second game, i almost lost hope because of the long wait without announcements!

No Avowed??

[@KenBladehart]

Fyi about Project Awakening for those who arent update to date The game is being developed side-by-side with its game engine, Cyllista Game Engine, so Cygames could use it for future projects. I wouldnt be surprised if they start showing ray-traced lighting in the future Also Jake, Arc System Works did Granblue Versus, and you completely forgot about Granblue Relink released 2 months ago...

[@In-Gall_Tegidda_n_Tesemt]

Okay. I wondered what ever happened to Project Awaken, but this is good news.

Stop using games that do not have a release date yet. Those games probably won't be released in 2024, so there is no reason adding them here.

[@eddieford9373]

I really hate the phrase "Has potential." Everything has potential, especially when it comes to videogames. Just because something has potential doesn't mean it can be great. Execution is everything.

[@danielmendez1893]

I can’t wait for KCD2

[@GNFNR]

Currently playing kingdom come deliverance. Didnt enjoy it when it came out in 2018, tried over the years to play again but only the last month ive managed to really enjoy the game its brilliant

[@akmal94ibrahim]

If you enjoy the "medieval sim" realism of it, you should try it on Hardcore Mode to get more immersed. Not having a map marker makes you have to read the map and notice landmarks and sometimes even checking where the sun sets to know your north and south.

[@bronzin1445]

It’s a game where you intentionally suck in the beginning because you literally start off as a novice. Just about everything is skill based and forces you to git gud

[@ActNasty5]

I could never grasp the combat but i also want to try it again

[@bronzin1445]

@@ActNasty5 the game in general is entirely skilled based and it’s not just the combat either. You literally have to train and git gud at it. It’s janky yes but that’s kind of the whole point.

[@donnie9001]

KCD2 is gonna be awesome!

[@LordOfTheFallen713]

Lords of the fallen 2 deserves a spot I love it. People give it to much hate when it’s actually a good game

[@Laoruperteen18]

its far too abstract to be considered medieval, and while the combat was decent, the bosses and the story, and the enemy variety just wasnt there.

[@Toughbiscuit_]

Released in 2023

[@ModestPavement]

Completely forgot that came out. Way too many soulslikes now.

[@Wormweed]

I enjoyed lords of the fallen, it was a good game, amazing graphics

[@awguitarroom8033]

KCD2 will be the RPG to end all RPGs

[@TheMooseah]

Project Awakening has been popping back into my head once every few months since 2018. I'm surprised it might actually see the light of day.

[@numanumame]

Kingdom Come Deliverance only 2 thing I remember of it, good game but a massive cliffhanger. Just when the game and story is getting good it ends. Cant wait for sequel.

[@theartist359]

Shoutout for putting the timestamp of each game in the description 😎👍

[@Constellasian]

The Awakener: Risen looks pretty good. I'm currently enjoying Dragon's Dogma 2, but was disappointed there's no mounts and mounted combat. The game has a large world with limited fast travel. It would have been cool to have horses or something.

[@dennisdavidov782]

There was no news about it for about a year so I wasn't even sure if it is still coming out. They also released a roguelite spinoff called The Awakener: Forgotten Oath which looked very barebones.

[@roberthernandez1617]

Even perfect games have somthing missing, idk one game that caters to everyone. With that said, yeah mounts would've been cool lol. Mod it

[@sirlordcapybara801]

One game that I think deserves a mention is Dread Delusion. It's currently in early access on steam, and while not really medieval in setting, it is a very interesting and very weird RPG, with a lot of Morrowind specifically in it's DNA.

[@cheat13]

Thanks for the video! I think you could have missed Crimson Desert still confirmed for 2024 for now by the devs of Black Desert Online ^^

[@pavlotverdokhlib7627]

Really curious how Crimson Desert and Where Winds Meet pan out. Both of these seem to be aiming to do for this gen what The Witcher 3 did last gen, being quite ambitious with their open-world systems, while setting up a core narrative with a defined protagonsit role.

[@brodyestes2376]

I feel like a game on Chrisopher Paolinis Inheritance cycle would be INSANE if done right. Playing as a rider during the golden age before the fall, being able to fly around on dragons and have aerial combat against other riders or Lethrblaka would be INSANE. Could be a great blend of swordfighting and fantasy aerial combat.

[@Loljpd707]

Gonna guess. Kcd 2 is at number 1. It has to be.

[@enlilofnippur8409]

Perfect choice for #1. That will be a dream come true if it actually comes out this year as planned. Amazing that KCD came out 7 years after Skyrim, and now 6 years after that we’re about to see KCD II well before TES VI. And frankly at this point I think I’m more psyched about KCD 2 than I would be for TES VI anyway.

[@butwhataboutdragons7768]

The Elder Scrolls series is far and away my favorite, but I totally agree that they've sat on it for far, far too long. Especially considering Starfield's big ol meh of a reception. Arena 1994, Daggerfall 1996, Morrowind 2002, Oblivion 2006, Skyrim 2011...and now 13 years later the entirety of our knowledge of VI is a small glimpse of a land that could be any frickin' continent.
