The story 8 hours in is more engaging than most games I’ve played the past year since Witcher
I will get it later on. a fresh studio who are creating a original game with ambition and passion is pretty refreshing. I think it's worth supporting studio's like this who's only obstacle keeping them from being truly great is money. This game had a small budget but looks good considering and since most issues are technical, I think it will get better down the road.
no its not it has some members from the mafia 2 dev team it is not the same people..
Mambo Home different studio, but a lot of the original mafia guys work there now.
It didn't stop them from charging $60 for it though.
Considering you have 70+ hours of content, I think $60 can be easily justified unlike "some" AAA games.
Just send them $60 then, don't waste your time on this game. Never, in thirty years of hard gaming have I felt so robbed and insulted
I remember seeing this game on kickstarter raising money for the games's production. They had even set milestones for fund raising and for each completed milestone they would add a feature in the game like, better graphics, new voice actors, alternate storyline etc. The game sure has come a long way. I wish war horse studios the best.
Buy this game and praise the team who created this Masterpiece, they kind of remind Corporate morons on how to make Video Games.
Day one patch for the PS4 version is 23 GB. This is turning into a year for 'not for everyone' games which, personally, I think is great because it means we're getting less generic crap. We need more companies to self publish so they can put out the game they want to make without worrying about keeping it mainstream or filling it with lootbox cash grabbing.
Agreed sir!
The 23 GB is due to the engine. Apparently with this game engine you have to redownload basically the entire game for any patching. There was a long thread on reddit with other devs chiming in
well they are following the mainstream of releasing buggy games at launch so that goes against that particular logic.
This is a valuable comment.
In the past there used to be much more of "middle-class production" games, where games were not AAA titles nor Indie. Those ended up being some of the best games of my youth, so I can only hope that type of production would make a bit of a comeback.

Thoughts based on full day one patch.
A unique game but held down by a large number of technical issues.

Am I first or are comments just not loading?
Dakota O'Connor
Probably not loading, Im the second comment
Hawk Strider I'd tell you that you should wait for a sale. The game has potential, but acg actually coped well with the many issues it has. Even with a decent computer (i4790 cpu and 980ti) the game at ultra runs poorly, and it's not because it has great specs, it's optimized badly, the world looks beautiful, but the character models are comparable to me andromeda, and you have limited ways to save your game, so when you encounter a bug that locks out your game and your last save point was 2 hours ago, it hurts. The game will be good, but it needs work still.
you know the witcher got game of the year right has glitching and bugs in and stuff and it got game of the year its like you saying that games doesn't come with glitches ands
bugs.
ACG hey man, can you review Dynasty Warriors 9?
I got it on release and so far I don't regret it but I 100% see what he is saying here. But I will say I haven't been this in love with a game for a really long time.
Micah Scheffel I'm in the same boat. Love the game, was super hyped, but I am definitely having to trudge through the bugs. More than that, the load times. It takes about 30-45 seconds to load every time I try to talk with someone, just because the game isn't properly optimized for Xbox One.
Same, a patch will be coming no doubt, but so far I'm enjoying the hell out of it!
Yeah lots of issues
Dajjal Because insulting people will be more helpful?
Micah Scheffel same here I love this game so much
I can confirm this is the greatest game I have ever played through.
Picked up this gamę yesterday, played for about 3 hours. Even with the patch (23gb) bugs are real. I've mostly experienced glitches in ingame dialogues (characters popping out from nowhere, or getting stuck and blocking the view), also my horse wouldn't move over the fence which was knee high. Apart from that, it's great thus far. Combat is tricky and tough as hell, quests and how you can go about them is really impressive (you think you f-up and then you can Come up with new approach and make things happen anyway). Story is also cool and presented in a very intriguing way. And, The codex is Just a blast to read. No kidding, but 1 hour out of my gameplay was dedicated to Reading about peasants lives and toiltes in middle ages. I hope they will release some new patches to fix bugs, but all in all I am not dissapointed.
MrMayki89 I'm having fun with it so far. I don't even think I'm out of the tutorial yet, but I'm just running around exploring and doing side missions if I find them. I crashed literally as soon as the game started I went and grabbed the piece of cheese ur mother leaves you for breakfast 😂 but other than that I haven't had rlly any glitch issues or bugs except a camera bug while talking to an npc for a hot sec. I can agree I can tell the world is bland, so I hope something they add in the future are more random encounters. But I think people forget that even though this is open world it's primarily a game that wants to focus on the story. Which so far seems like it'll be really good. I love the combat. I haven't even fought the hard guys yet. Some weird things happen sometimes like if you pull out a torch it inequitable your shield :/. But idk. I'm really liking it. I'm gonna have to play through the game a second time and murder as many people as I can 😂 Ima be a good boy my first playthrough (although I'll probably have some slip ups with some of the more dickish Characters)
I have done quite a bit of research on this game. Interviews, walkthroughs, exct.. With a staff of about 110 people I am expecting glitches with regular monthly patches. But as you said, I am very impressed as well. For what has gone into this game, merits allot of praise..I remember how Red Dead Redemption was at launch. Or The Division, both games got better over time. I have an Xbox One X. I am getting the game later in the week. So, it will be interesting to see what the response will be until then. But I will not be distracted by the negatives..
My game randomly refuses to load cutscenes just have an infinite load screen. Yay......
I’ve had a great time with this game, love the story, writing, and combat. Haven’t had any crazy bugs yet, but have noticed a lot of clipping with clothes and swords and foliage.
what you playing on?
Been smashing that refresh button in my subs waiting for this bad boy. Popped up as soon as the game was released on steam. Your dedication is inspiring, my dude.
James mååååm
James ii
Gotta confuse the refresh button, right babe?
R.I.P. Rich
He made a review without even playing it properly
It's a shame it had alot of bugs on release, but i just started playing this game a week ago and it's the best medieval RPG i have ever played in my life, the DLC's were good, combat, story, everything its amazing, the game is mostly fixed now as i only had a few bugs here and there.
What i think would really help people get back into this game is if they either release some sort of next gen patch/update to have people look into it again, it's a really good medieval sim and it's a shame only a few people know about it.
Coming back a year+ some later, and even tho not many if any will see this, I'd just like to drop my quick thoughts. Story is pretty good. I like the characters and historical aspect. It's pretty cool. Index? Fucking great. Whole atmosphere feels very real. Combat has some issues but gets by. Graphics are still damn impressive for the dev size. And the first time I walked into the forest with no feckin idea what to do i absolutely loved it. Gave me a refreshed feeling of exploration. Can't wait to drop in a bunch more time.
Currently 16 hours in. Admittedly a small but decent chunk is messing with settings to get a good framerate mixed with higher settings. Around 60-90 on a GTX 1080.
Thanks for this comment. Appreciate it
I normally wait a few months before buying a new game. So I'm hoping patches are available to fix the bugs. But I would definitely be willing to buy it.
irish rover, sure it does, but that’s setting the bar so low you’ll have to go into the basement to see it.
irish rover As if that's a viable defense for this game's bugginess...Jesus Christ, the fanbois are out in force in this comment section today.
less freedom and boring to explore unlike skyrim,witcher 3 or assassin creed origins.. Beautiful Graphics tho
Expect a massive patch in about two weeks, accord to Daniel Vavra.
Bilbo Baggins the Wise it literally has less bugs than skyrim...
Was that a Yor: Hunter from the Future reference at 6:48?!
you bet
I didn't think I could like your channel any more
Speaking of janky running animation...
The bugs don't bother me that much. It's all about the story and voice acting here holyyyy shit. It's just... great.
Question / suggestion: would you consider making an updated version of the review, now that the worst bugs (hopefully) have been fixed and some DLC's were released?
Yes pls
If u haven't gotten the game by now then get it. The game is amazing, way more than he gives it credit
Great review as always. I just have one question, why is it that sometimes there is no yellow overlay at the beginning of each section? I usually like to start with the fun factor section, than move on to graphics and sound, then comeback to the verdict. With the overlay it's easily searchable with the thumbnails.
that flickering light strobe glitch - those are cry engine environmental probes - hated those things while i was working with the engine, no one knew the solution for that at the time....
As expected, first review to come out, detailed and fair, you da best man , and you happen to have the very exact same taste for games as i am :3 Game looks like something special, but hope they add blacksmithing later on.
jorge montiel they were going to in the first place but they didn't have the time
jorge montiel it isn't the first. just saying. megajoes review came out yesterday
You can sharpen and polish your own sword at the blacksmith, but no forging of yet.
got any more of those button necklaces? 8:37
How to equip unequip torch in this game
Original Backers and myself included are just happy a bigger kickstarter game made a full release and the devs kept us in the loop during development. If anyone backed the game early enough to get alpha and beta access you'll know like I do that the final game is so much better than said alpha and beta. The game barely ran in alpha and beta lol
Darryl Campbell it's almost as if they considered their backers star citizens and wanted to come through with a actually finished product not like some Kickstarter we know
Dajjal
It works and runs just fine. A bug here and there but it's not like it's stuttering and being unplayable and always crashing.
Pixel Passion Star Citizen STILL isn't out?? I legit forgot about the game years ago, wow.
They will sell you stuff for the game though.
M. Gilley star citizen is biggest game coming out EVER so yeah it still isn’t finished development.
Hopefully some day one patches fix those ugly bugs.. I want to enjoy this :)
XeneGamer Indeed game is perfectly playable on all platforms and Some major bugs and littles ones that have been reported will be fixed soon, game is getting another major update (1.04/5) in 2 weeks max (source from warhorse on twitter)
After the 25 Gb patch and an additional 15 GB patch, all the major bugs are mostly fixed. There are still issues, but it's playable.
thanks for your updates that was all i needed to see. :p
No birds or deer in the gameworld. At least there are bugs...
Frank Gütle good one lol
Frank Gütle there is deer, but no birds xd
But there is birds and deer as well as boar, rabbits and some other stuff
there's horsey? and chickens!
and cows, pigs, sheep and dogs
3:56 I immediately thought of Runescape..
This game is fucking dope I don’t care what anyone says it’s not Skyrim but it’s close to it.
I want this game to be great but I hear the patch doesn't fix all the bugs. I honestly think the game could've been delayed another few months to fix the bugs but why? We're in 2018. Why not release the game, get paid and fix the bugs later?!?! Genius... just genius. I'm sure the game is great at it's core tho.
JayPainGaming this was a kickstarter that’s already been delayed multiple times. They could have also been very low on cash at this point
Bugs may suck but at least nothing is game breaking. I'm not trying to defend the studio TOO much but this game in its current state could have been alot worse for the first game of a new studio... especially with a large scale like this. Compared to skyrim and fallout I'd say they are doing okay... but it could be better yes.
I'm 9 hours in and I can say that the core gameplay is absolutely great, although the game is very slow. Very, very slow. And the performance issues are really irritating. I didn't see any major bugs though. It's still an enjoyable experience, but I am looking forward to upcoming patches.
Tell me how many non working wares you buy when in an IRL store.
Great review ACG! One request though, do you mind sharing what your "sweet spot" settings were for your audio? Thanks in advance
will you do a walk the walk vid on this game?
I play it atm and I don't get any bugs. The devs really did a great job patching the game and you can see the level of love they have for their game. It plays like a charm. I think Karak would have given it a "buy" if he played it today.
As a sound tech whose done his fair share of foley work and tv movie editing: the voices were not mixed properly. You hit the nail on the head. You can tell the voices were layered over the actual 'sounds'. It wasnt mixed together with, for example, a 'room noise' track (sorry for vocabulary issues, Im french)
See, I wouldn't of noticed that was the issue but I said to a friend the voice acting is good but something just doesn't sound right and I didn't know what. Now I do lol
There's also an issue where the background layer moves along with the camera cuts.
It might be a bug or an oversight, but it affects all cut scenes and dialogue, apart from the pre-rendered ones.
Ambient dialogue is actually pretty great, when you walk past two people speaking for example, so hopefully they can fix this with a patch in the future.
you had me click the thumbs up at "chuck norris the blacksmith" XD hilarious and amazing review as always Karak!
I just got this as part of the GOG anniversary collection III (modern classics), which contains Kingdom Come, Shadow Tactics and Battlechasers, for just €21.59, which is a steal! I can’t wait to play Kingdom Come.
Looks like a good game to pick up if I ever get done with what I currently have to play. Hopefully it will get patched up by that time.
I played for ~12 hours and had no crashes and very little bugs.
9:17 the sun casts through the eye sockets
Lol wtf
When you're getting stuck on the stairs, it's your bow, catching on the framing above you.
do you have to be signed in online to play this or can you pay this while offline ?
I wish there was a demo of this game
Khaster 6
Look up gameplay and use a controller to pretend to play it.
Big Birb lol that was a good one
hahahah!!!! I do that all the time!
Buy it and refund it before playing for two hours if you play on pc
Big Birb i tried that but my controller is broken i think
Ha ha ha. I got an ad for proper beardcare for this video.
what are ads?
+Magnus Leo
Okay, so either you're an Adblock user and making a joke, or you're not fluent in English, in which case: Ad is short for advertisement.
P. Roud Tobi Mi he is the other thing surprisingly
Dude think's he's a rebel for using Adblock XD
a simple but effective joke well-done sir!
Karak, man! For some time now I've compared your reviews to the big review channels. Using your own words, because "they're not 2 minutes long or sponsored bullcrap". Now, I'm sad to say, a lot of the smaller, unique and fan-supported channels have started to show they just need to throw mediocre reviews out and that's it. You mentioned this game has a long tutorial. And I know for sure that many of said channels made their "reviews" based only on the intro area. Lots of these dudes just write a couple of jokes and then yell their 4 minute reviews based on their 6 hour experiences. Just wanted to mention this, man. You do an awesome work. The writing, the humor, the delivering and of course, the fucking review!... are all really professional. Congratulations and here's to your channel's growth. A lot of people are watching and I see a lot of comments saying: "ACG mentioned this and that info in his review. Better go there" and it is great. Bye.
9:17 - 9:18 Best bug ever... Light is shinning through his eye sockets and casting a shadow!
I think my biggest problem with this game is how it doesn’t respect you as the player. The save system, not skippable cutscenes, and terribly long tutorial makes playing this game an event. I can’t sit down after classes and play for an hour because I may not find a save point, I have to dedicate a large chunk of time to hope I found somewhere I can save at.
Chuck Norris ? From the Blacksmith trailer I thought it was Sean Bean ... he even dies it makes perfect sense!
How different is the control, espicially in combat, on pc and ps4?
9:17 on the shadow you can see the sun goes through his eyes
ACG consistently has some of the most helpful, insightful, honest, well-rounded game criticism available. These videos are the first ones I turn to when I’m thinking about making a purchase.
thanks man. If you get a chance come join us in the gaming discord. We are yalking about titles all the time
IDK why but "fancy a lil dip of da nuts..." Made me LMAO 😂.
THAT intro though , Hanry "son of chuck Norris' the blacksmith lol
Really good review mate. I appreciate that you’re one of the few reviewers that looks at all versions and discusses more technical aspects. This is one of your best yet and I’m currently playing this for review myself and am enjoying it although my copy only arrived by post today so still a long way to go I’m very much enjoying it so far and has lived up to my expectations.
thanks
Hahahaha Damnit Steve! You are supposed to shot him an arrow not me! 4:38
8:38 Sweet lord, what is on that peasant's chest?!
Great review as always.
His jacket didn't load but his buttons did lmao
I dont know if i missed it (can u tell me what time its at) or if you just didnt cover it but....How is the save system...heard a few things about it but whats your opinion on it ??
Question; why is it 1080p on the ps4 pro? I expected 1440 at the very least.
seems legit to me. wait for sale it is. back to monster hunter for me!
Gamekeeper MHW is awesome, limitless fun, try and master all the weapon types, all armor sets, etc
Gamekeeper I had to refund monster hunter. The monsters designs had so many clipping issues it just looked stupid, and the whole game is just to ridiculous and not very fun.
LaMigrasa Marxa it's a good game I'm new to MH and I suck and have almost quit a few times but unless you just don't like the mechanics or progression etc then I say stick with it
LaMigrasa Marxa yes man you right i buy monster Hunter and sell it 4 days ltr shit game
Lol same here monster hunter ruined my life
Bugs are rare now. Poison your arrows and melee weapon. Outstanding game!
Does this have a setting for ultrawide resolution?
Want this but i'll wait till i get through more of my backlog and it gets some more patches. Probably on GOG even though i want a physical copy, but since that's getting patched there's no use, hopefully a complete edition comes out down the road.
I’ve seen quite a few of your videos before... they pop up on my feed every once in awhile and I’ve always enjoyed them never really subbed though... after watching this I’m subbing... looking forward to your new content
Bugs have put me right off. IMO it's unacceptable to release games that crash your system. Won't be buying this unless stuff gets patched.
Gaming and Music Trash That’s exactly the reason why no-one plays those games anymore.
Deus Ex is fine for me, literally every other game crashes my system but I've never had Deus Ex do it.
I can respect your opinion. Personally I'm the opposite, bugs crashing my system never really gets to me. Skyrim modded on an older PC has given me many crashes and many hours of enjoyment. To each their own.
What is your system? Usually it is a fault on your side, not the fault of the game....
I played 13 hours straight on pc and it didn’t crash once.
I think this is the first time I've watched your review in full, without skipping. As always it was really well done and thanks for the detailed analysis. You confirmed what I was thinking - either wait for bugs to be fixed or wait for sale. They might even have a deal during Steam Easter sale.
Any funny exploit is in the Kunesh's tool quest.
When you knock him out, take his loot and open his container to grab his stuff.Then immediately go to sword practice and wait when you have a sword.Then stand behind kunesh when the tutorial asks you do chain attack the trainer and you whack him instead and basically make the lock on assign to him.
Because the wooden sword does no damage, you can train swordplay and str this way by wailing on kunesh instead of the trainer.
He is still hostile after you stop training so surrender to him to have him give up attacking you cuz unarmed fight with him is bad.
good stuff, but im broke right now -. is this with the day one patch?
Something like 20 gigs of a patch...at least on consoles
Now please, quickly pump out the DW9 review, so I can make a decision here!
bigsuff what decision exactly? One game is unfinished and the other is a button masher w/Good visuals. Save your money until God of War 3 or The last of us 2 come out, one of those will be game of the year and they'll be polished on day one.
TWTgamer *God of war 4/new God of war game (God of war 3 had been out since 2010)
8:38 why are the beads floating and what are they attached too lol
Great review, been really looking forward to KCD, but will hold off for full price now. Hopefully M&B2 will arrive on PS4 this year and I'll get my sandbox medieval fix
I feel like I'm having dejavu, so many games with similar design goals are plauged with similar bugs and issues. I like the idea of times quests that move on without you though games of this type should include that more often.
or the time period, remember the guild 2? interesting mechanics plagued with bugs that never got fixed.
zzxp1 mmm
Big open world rpgs are just more difficult to make bug-free due to their size and depth, as the more you put in a game the more that can go wrong, so I don't fault the devs so much in that regard. A lot of Kingdom Come's problems seem like they go beyond just bugginess, though. Like, there's bugs and then there's just poor optimization, inherent clunkiness, and bad design/game mechanics, which seems to be some of the problems with this title.
That being said, there is a huge split in the user base. There are those who suffer sadly from bugs and glitches, and there are those like me who haven't enounctered any name worthy bugs (i encountered maybe 2 small bugs so far) and have a solid smooth experience with over 30+ hours into the game. No idea why this is happening. I run the game on high settings with a gtx 970 card while using a ultra wide screen, still having a solid 40 FPS in cities and 50 FPS outside of cities. I mentioned the ultra wide screen as that one always costs me about 10 - 20 frames per second when i play on that resolution. Real shame not everyone get's to experience a smooth game cause it's one of the most amazing games i have played in a long time. Really getting sucked into it, but then again i am a sucker for history.
memba no mans sky? its not as bad but its still bad
Far Cry 3 on PC had a similar stairs glitch and they never patched it😥
that sucks
HentaiSenpai9000
But, as you might remember, it didn’t prevent us from enjoying the game anyway. Stair glitch? Ah well. Different aproach. Kill. Kill. Kill some more.
lol at that stair you need to sprint to get over haha
ya not sure what was happening there
Is it still suppose to come out as Chapters or it is one piece full game? because few years back I remember saying that it will have a 3 Chapters or so, being released one after other.
Anybody else skip this one, but kind of stoked for the Royal Edition coming? I wanted to play this, but was weary of it for some reason. I like a slow burn, and I think this might be up my alley.
Beat the game twice, tried to do as much as I could the 2nd time around. Already sold my copy... I look forward to the next game if they make one.
This is one of the best game reviews I have ever watched. EVER. There's a whole lot of great stuff here for them to use, and you're genuinely fun and pleasant to listen to.
We need to send this review to War Horse Studios en masse. This review could really help jumpstart them on the right direction for the sequel, and they'll enjoy listening to it, too.
i have a pentium g4400 and a radeon rx 460.... can i run it?
Sounds like a solid 9/10...AFTER another patch. Bugs don't bother me, but I don't want my games crashing. Good review!!
Anon 4ever His opinion jackass.
Great story, great characters, unique concept, interesting world, innovative combat, awesome music, good voice cast, etc. All make a 9/10 (or higher) for me. Bugs and performance issues really do not factor into whether or not I love a game. Drakengard for the PS2 is one of my favorite games of all time. NieR for Xbox 360 and PS3 got 6/10 on Gamespot and it's also one of my favorite games of all time. Maybe I have bad taste? Or maybe I just look at things differently? Up to you. I also find Witcher 3 and Horizon Zero Dawn to be the best games of this generation. So, like I said, think what you want. I think Kingdom Come looks great.
You Are In Denial and that's his opinion dumb fuck
Worst piece of shit game ever. Lol
It seems like a great game to me. As long as the bugs don't crash or prevent the completion of the game. I
Hey! Did the review copy ( or the early copy ) have the day 1 patch? Good review to be honest, like always just find it strange that it was so empty.
Karak do they have those giant two handed great swords? Can I more or less make myself into a giant Dark Souls boss at some point?
Idk if this would be troublesome, but i would suggest a little icon of what system the gameplay is from on screen so we know if yiu switched up on systems.
Thanks Karak. You have the best reviews.
Elder Scrolls has some work to do..
agreed
He has the earth's second best review in the history of mankind. The second best, EVER.
He has the best detailed reviews. Angry Joe has the best overall game reviews.
if we get an es6.
Thanks you, I will be holding my money back for a sale but will defiantly be picking this one up at some point!
"Definitely" or "Defiantly". Which is it?
Picked it 3 days ago, just finished.
Still bugged as hell. Literally forced myself to rush through the final act of the game, which consists of about 4 hours (!!!) of cutscenes (non-interactive), 15 minutes of "battles" in a crowd (so AI can do the job for you and you can go make a sandwich), a mini-quest to cram BRIAN BLESSED into the game and utterly pointless epilogue that's another hour of expositiory dialogues amd slow horse strolling.
The game is structured more or less into 4 acts. There is the prologue, which serves as tutorial. It's more or less fine, if extremely linear and railroaded. That's about 3-4 hours of gameplay. Then there is the early game, which is mostly still tutorial, but now you can roam all over the map and ends about the time you get a horse. Then there is mid-game and it's mostly forgettable, until you get into a monastery (really enjoyable part of a main quest, where you are chasing after a bandit who hide in a monastery and you need to become a monk to track him, by far the best part of the main quest, despite being a bit tedious). And after the monastery quest is over, you start the final, 4th act of the game, that is just shit-tier. It's what I've described already in previous paragraph. It was soooo damn boring I was openly contemplating quiting at this point, because how long can you prolong before the inevetable storming of the castle.
And then there is the ending itself, or rather lack of it, since the game not only doesn't resolve ANYTHING by the end of it, it's also blatantly set up for a sequel, despite the dev behind the game had zero guarantee they are going to make any sequel at all (still don't know that). You spend the last hour of the game listening to historical exposition, which, if you have just about any knowledge about Czech medieval history, can put you to sleep, because it's elementry-tier knowledge. And if you don't, then it's still boring, because it's simply a lenghty (35 minutes!!!) cutscene describing different political factions in the landscape of 1403 Bohemia that adds absolutely nothing to the game itself, as the main quest is at that point "resolved", or rather - finished.
How long until the 3rd person mod comes out?
Remember once you get a game cd with its manual at hand and the nice shining case and no bugs at all?now with internet and digital copies almost all devs seem to get lazy enough not to make sure their game hasnt got any bugs on the release day.Patches even if they succeed to fix a game's issues,they fail by default and definition to make up for a player's first impression and precious first experience of a game that makes it enjoyable and memorable.this is why i love cd project devs of witcher 3 and now the long anticipated game cyberpunk 2077.their response on when the release date is gonna be,they simply state ''when its done''.pure gold.ty for the good review.that was fast Karak.
I find it odd that you say it's good that they cut a larger world for more content, then explain how the world is essentially empty (on the roads).
How big are the roads?
The environments have better details but it seems empty with less fighting and its population size is very little on the open road.
I have encountered a lot of random events on the roads. Just don't fast travel everywhere and maybe you will see something.
Every time I travel on foot I meet some random encounters.

Igor Sandu Hello there
Excellent timing! Thank you for the hard work you put in for such a fast review.
About to listen right now .. will determine if I buy it or not.
Thanks again!
Hey love you reviews, saves me time and money. So I was wondering if you plan on doing sword art online fatal bullet?
thanks!
I play on a ps4 (not pro) and before the day one patch good fucking luck but after it was a smooth 30 fps with no dips as far as I can tell.
The most realistic RPG
Preordered and played the moment it came out and have had only 2 glitches. Stairs that don't work and in dialog parts the camera ends up inside people heads or helmets and sometimes your stuck looking at the ground
lol
Chris Roberts from star citizen supported this gem back in the day. I forgot about it and now it’s out. Amazing :)
I can't wait to get this game.
1 year later all most all of the bugs are gone its amazing as hell now
James Beach Not really, had already yesterday massive pop in and a bugged quest which i almost couldnt finish
the whole save system ruins it.
I'm loving it, no issues here. It's called be careful and reload old saves if necessary. It saved my ass a few times
Fantastic review as always Karak. Also Lone Wolf collection? I need to watch all six films again😀 Or failing that Shogun Assassin "Oh Mad One..."
Thx Jeremy, I think I will wait to play my version until more patches have been installed. I want this to be optimal. Hopefully it gets better in some days/weeks. Once again thank you for the thorough reviews that actually tell me what I can expect to encounter.
Pretty sure I'll never play it, but had to hear the review first.
I first saw the trailer for this game when I was a sophomore in high school, showed all my friends and the excitement was crazy. Now I'm a sophomore in college, time goes by so fast.
iUpLevel Yeah bro I remember seeing it my eight grade year and I was so hyped. Time flies.
iUpLevel maybe we’ll get bannerlord by the time u retire
How obnoxious are the survival mechanics? Is it a full-on Hunger-bar Babysitting Simulator, or are those elements there more for flavour (i.e. FarCry Primal)?
Seems worth it to me. But how huge is the map and exploring? This seems worthy playing. But will it get support. Is it worth it it. Or return my disk and wait for sale?
It's been said that the map is about 16km². Smaller than Oblivion and Skyrim but similar to Morrowind. Although some say that KCD feels bigger than 16km² because the way things are laid out. As for support, most definitely. The devs have clearly stated that they will continue to support the game. In my personal opinion, I think the game will certainly be worth it after several patches because right now the bugs and performance issues are crippling the game(even after the 20+gb patch).
its Brian Bless-ed not Brian Blessed
Damn I just posted that and then saw this, so I deleted that! :)
@Kharn526 I do. He sounded dumb. How can you not know how to pronounce such a legend of acting?
WHY CAN'T YOU PEOPLE PRESS YOUR CAPS LOCK KEY WHEN TALKING ABOUT THE LORD OF OVER THE TOP YELLING?? I MEAN COME ON GUYS *Runs out of breath and passes out*
Thank you for the Brian Blessed recommendation.
Milewide Eh? But he just said deep sale.
Pronounced Brian Bless-sid though, unlike the commentators effort ha (source, I'm British as is the great Brian Blessed)
Now run along and make some memes kid
Thanks for the early review man!!! this isn't the first time watching your review saves me from rushing to the game store on day one to buy a game that could potentially become the greatest thing I've ever played and ultimately find out it isn't....
PS: sorry about the lack of punctuation in that long sentence, hoping the three dots at the end make up for it :P
"Selling stormbringer at a grocery store." Awesome visual xD
