I know right? I remember when I was kid, people did something similar. They used to use like these paper maps (yes, a fucking paper) that didn't even show your current location. They had to like figure out where they are, calculate best route themselves. I don't how they got around. Must had been hell to have actual sense of direction... :D
@@hexer2147 , you just have to contanstly pay attention to where you are and compare with the map. This way you know where you are located. It is a skill you can train by relying less on your smartphone. My brother would dump me in the middle of London and just tell me to walk around for the entire day until he would finish working, then we would have to meet up at a location of his choosing. It was scary at first, but it taught me how to use the tube (metro) and maps. It was just a few years before smartphones appeared.
I'm doin a playthrough with maces, and this is easy mode. Get a Ravens beak and start poking holes Might do a bow only next, But no ai breaking exploits.
Im actually baffled by people disliking this combat. For me it was a breath of fresh air as it did something different, and original, and all the fights felt grounded and personal, and i never really played anything like it.
I love this game but they really gotta improve the lock on combat controls especially for kcd2. I play on console fyi. If there are 4-5 cumans surrounding u u are basically screwed especially on hardcore mode. There will be people attacking u from all sides and if u lock off to get in a good position the enemies "tackle" u nonstop. I still win these fights if im in a good position and kill them quickly but its still annoying af.
@@uNpOpuLArOpInION69 you're right but this is a game so it doesnt have to 1000% realistic. The problem with that kind of gameplay is it severely limits your options when fighting enemies head on and if u are ambushed by surprise you have zero chance of winning even with the best stats, armor, weapons, AND combat skills. At least irl i can look at any enemy at any time and not be forced to look at one enemy in front of me while 3 dudes behind me are attacking.
@@uNpOpuLArOpInION69That's fine. But then you have 6 peasants that knows master strike and various combos while my level 20 warfare Henry can't do anything about them master striking me. Late game is just, sits there, press Q, stab, press Q, stab. But if try to feint and use combos, you're punish for it.
@@uNpOpuLArOpInION69no, anyone excusing the factual flaws in the combat should be ashamed, the combat has a lot of issues, the enemie clip through eachother and sometimes just run around and into you stupidly. Sometimes animations don't play, don't work. Combat needs to be fixed heavily into kcd2
Yeah, that's not the issue on HC when you are fighting 3+ of them and they actively try to surround you and beat you in the head with hammer from behind while you are in a clutch with their body :D
you REALLY have to consider WHEN to get into agro....because 3 or more at any level would have been a deathsentence.(or at least a knock out pre weapon owning stage of game ... ).... and I thought there were just the 2 ... which at that point I was starting to deal with confidently .... You have to think of a strategy...in general...and your set of tactics for what you are considering...... which obviously is not possible when ambushed.....ANOTHER reason I LOVE this game... cause ambush can just happen .....its buzzing. I often sneak in .. position my horse ready for getaway...and personally go lightweight armour and stealth as much as I can.....if 3 heavy armoured guys turn on me ... I run !!!!!! you cant just tank it out....thats immature... foolish... unreal....
@@krekk2751 Riposte is a quick counter attack after parrying opponent's attack. In game, ripostes and master strikes are both ripostes. In any case, semantics on the side, master strikes still cannot be dodged or parried. Which was the actual point of the comment.
The timing doesn't change for hardcore mode at all. Just slightly harder to figure it out without the UI. Until you get the hang of it at least. The higher your warfare and defense skills, the larger the perfect block and masterstrike windows.
yeah, just abuse master strike, everything else is bs, if you surprise your enemy with change of direction attack too fast thy will counter it cuz it didnt register, you have to change direction and wait half a second for it to register, like thats so fking stupid, like its a bug in their coding but somehow they are ok with it
The mechanics are clunky but not bs imo. I Have played kcd through about 4 Times now And it has never really bothered me. If you find your rhythm and block on Time you'll Be fine. I Have never learnt Masters strikes really lol
"Wait for Theresa to cool down" my boy did some side smashin😂😂
I saw that and had to come here. Good for Henry. 😂
to my shame...for I doth Love with a burning heat My Lady Stephanie....
@@oddvonshit if u do it after theresa she gets mad? How does she know
she does that when you walk off in the wrong direction during the escort quests
@@SproloquiTvshe knows because you get the alpha male perk, which she smells the scent of other woman on you. Based on the wiki of course.
Ahh yes Hardcore mode.. Now you get to spend 5-10 minutes finding your way back out of the woods using the direction and travel of the sun....LOL XD
At this point I have all the woods mostly memorized... thats probably not good
I just read the map

@@hexer2147 It's called orienteering. I am pretty proficient with a map and compass too, the trick is not to get lost to begin with. :D
People saying the combat is too hard must've missed the master strikes mechanic lmao

After Blocking Dont press anything on your mouse coz it will likely Cancel the Master Strike

If you have some structures nearby, putting yourself in the corner helps a bit.

Nice
I thought it was oblivion for 20 seconds
Well, the game plays like a modern oblivion.
Some combat perks are the same, leveling system is almost identical.
1:15 wtf, that cuman looks like henry
"I feel quite Hungary"
Why did the second guy wait for you to finish off the first guy?
They usually aren't at the same distance from you so it takes time till they reach you. Believe me in this game you get often in 1v3/4

everytime i try to use those i learned from bernard enemies easily dodges or parries.. i just have to go all out slash slash until one hits
You're talking about combos. Master Strikes are ripostes and cannot be dodged.
master strikes are master strikes, riposte is attack from perfect parry.

@@hexer2147 listen kid, Master strikes are not ripostes, Ripostes can be blocked, master strikes are a separate move. You're clueless.
@@krekk2751 lol, been like 20 years since somebody called me kid :D Thanks for that, feels refreshing. Now, I am gonna leave you to your trolling :)
since i play hardcoremode game didnt allow me a single master strike.
you have realy to be quick with reacting and you cant spam block else it will not work
thats bullshit you just don't know how to do it. time it correctly and theres a chance it might happen but also a chance you'll just block.

@@JB-xl2jc i got a bug i had to learn it twice to master strike, but i found out at end of game. that was the mistake.
@@JB-xl2jc you use the ui for master strikes? Don't you have to block before the green dot?
yes but you are OP on end of game...its very short game
Good game with shitty mechanics, I'm getting too frustrated with this clown fighting fiesta!

@@anttitheinternetguy3213 When they winding for an attack u just press block.
I disagree!
The combat controls aren't perfect but still the best ever made!
Worst walkthrough i've ever seen
you should get out more haha
you need to get life son
