What I really like about the first game is that it creates an authentic medieval world without needing any transcendental stuff like magic. It is just a good story and the game has a very informative compendium where one can get a lot of background information about the characters, the time period and all the things that surrounds the daily life in the medieval times. It is in many ways a medieval simulator, maybe the best one existing on the video game front.
How do you feel about them simplifying a lot of things in KDC2? I have been insanely hyped for the game but honestly some of my hype died when I saw how many things they are "simplifying". Seems like they are focuinsg a bit too much on catering to casual players for my liking
@@bullythebooks Hi. Yeah, get it but I don't thing 'simplyfying' is the right word, per se...it looks from what I've seen like they've pared away excess fat...like the five directions of attack/defense...using a mouse/keyboard with those directions was rarely successful in the way I wanted it to be but once you had masterstrike hell, it didn't matter much...time your defense right and Bang, they're done for. Now you need to attack from their open side while they are actually in the stoke of attacking you and getting that timing right...seems it's an improvement, I feel. But we'll see and I get what you were saying. Cheers.
Yeah, I also had a hard time getting into the first game and only managed recently... but man, now I really like it. I couldn't stand the combat at first, now I enjoy it a lot. And the feeling of having the freedom to roam almost anywhere...
I have a similar story, man. I honestly feel like I wasn’t in the right mindset, or perhaps mature enough to appreciate the first game when it released. I was incredibly excited when they announced the kickstarter, but I was very into action games at the time, and scrambling to figure out my life in between graduate studies and two jobs. Now, I have a stable job and much more stable life overall, which enables me to sit down and enjoy this more contemplative game. And surprise surprise, KCD now sits among my most favorite games of all time.
My story is almost the opposite. I got into the first game with no trouble then hit the monastery quest. Now, I was raised a Catholic so I understood a lot of the Latin, love classical music and Gregorian chants (so loved the score). I was just like, lets go on with the quest! I hated it the first time. On a second play through I knew where we where going and I could settle into the monastic routine and it was fine. I love the music in the whole game, it is glorious!
I recently played KCD for the first time. Incredible game IMO. Were there some things I didn't quite like? Sure. The combat never felt good even though I was proficient at it. Lockpicking on controller felt genuinely horrible, so I used M&K for that. A bigger issue I had was with how the game set up the main quest in such an epic way, but then the actual missions were majorly underwhelming (a budget issue no doubt). I hope these are addressed in KCD2. I'll be there day 1 either way.
They certainly have been addressed. They’ve stated multiple times that they were able to enact their true vision this time around. Battles have also been significantly improved. This game is going to blow us out of the water dude.
I am ps5 and just playing KCD1 again it’s my second run through and I am really enjoying it because I got the game mechanics nailed down . I pre-ordered kcd2 and I know I won’t be let down . I will be the only game I pre-order this year the rest I will look to reviewers for the rest.
03:19 I am playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 on the Nintendo Switch. I have spent over 30 hours still practicing the lockingpicking. I have open 10 chest so far. I love it. I have been skateboarding since 1985. I remember first learning to do an ollie took me 2 years. So I am use to these kinds of learning. After 1,000 hours practicing the lockpicking. I feel that I will be able to just get it first try every time. I know a lot of people do not have that kind of patience or time. I am glad that this game design of the lockpicking for my style.
KCD has a simple lockpicking option in the menu which is designed for controller. (I believe they have swapped it in kcd2 where the simple option is the default and keyboard mouse one is toggalable)
They actually patched in a simplified version of lock picking for consoles so that you have to hit the L1 button to spin the lock. It makes it a hell of a lot simpler
The 1st game is stout & not 4 the faint of heart. I'm playing through the 1st one myself & have survived thus far by taking the stealth approach to those encounters that allow me 2 do so. The 1st game forces u 2 think, strategize, & implement actual tactics instead of diving in 2 fight w/o a thought.
Same thing... I didn't realize the value and honestly of the first game until AAA games went sideways and 'AAA' instead stood for AIDS AIDS AIDS... Veilguard is the prime example.
you really gonna pay 89.95 for a game that looks identical to the first one? Okay. I'll just replay thru the first and get the same experience for free.
you didn't understand.KCD2 is so different than the first: the mechanics, the combat, graphics, combat, map and so many more quests. It's not like the first at all they just kept the soul from the first and used it for the second.
The setting is beautiful. The progression experience is addictive. It's one of the most immersive games I've ever played. It has a great story and characters. What's not to love?
@@jamesadd4566 The Witcher 3's story is basically "Where's Ciri?" Very mid IMO. Cyberpunk had a good story. I think KCD's story is better than the Witcher 3's, but that's just me.

Finishing my second playthrough of the first one to get ready lol

Same, doing it in hardcore…. That’s a whole different experience.
@@kevpeters2537 You might be right! I hope so. I shouldn’t jump to conclusions I’m just so used to being disappointed by game studios these days.

Got my preorder in!
For console? What is the difference between standard and 90 dollar edition
@@BoxingFan-x4f The Gold Edition gets you some unique armor and 3 future DLCs. Worth it IMO.
@@Rapunzel879i think its an unique quest for that armor too and I think all will be cheaper in the long run with the gold edition.
@FlabbergastedFish88 Yeah, that was my thinking, as well.

Go to the horse farm in Neuhof. It has lots of very easy and easy chests all over. you will get to lvl 5 in no time.
really cant wait for this

Just to make sure. You do know there is an easy lock picking setting where you dont need to use both joysticks.
I don’t ever pre order games but this is one of the few games I pre ordered. The first one was phenomenal
Also, armor ACTUALLY WORKS!!!

hi Podcast Now
I struggle with the first one, I really want to love it but, it just doesn’t click with me
I haven’t been itching to play a game early this bad in a whilee. Maybe since rdr2
Same thing... I didn't realize the value and honestly of the first game until AAA games went sideways and 'AAA' instead stood for AIDS AIDS AIDS... Veilguard is the prime example.
Didn't like first one

What a stupid comment.
Its not identical at all. There are so many improvements, new mechanics, new larger map, longer story, better graphics etc.
you didn't understand.KCD2 is so different than the first: the mechanics, the combat, graphics, combat, map and so many more quests. It's not like the first at all they just kept the soul from the first and used it for the second.
1/10 rage bait.
Looks boring, I am wondering why people like this game so much.
The setting is beautiful. The progression experience is addictive. It's one of the most immersive games I've ever played. It has a great story and characters. What's not to love?
@Rapunzel879 I don't see the story as attractive as Witcher 3 or cyberpunk 2077. I hope u enjoy the game.
@@jamesadd4566it’s as close realistic as possible story yk i mean real life will always be boring compared to cyberpunk or witcher
@@jamesadd4566 The Witcher 3's story is basically "Where's Ciri?" Very mid IMO. Cyberpunk had a good story. I think KCD's story is better than the Witcher 3's, but that's just me.
@Rapunzel879 It is just about a blacksmith becoming a hero. No touching storyline at all. The character' emotion looks dull.
pre ordered the collectors edition
