Man, this game has such an interestin way of doing almost anything and it feels like you're learning everything along with your character. From combat to weapon sharpening and alchemy. You have no idea what you're doing at first and you mess it up, but as long as you keep trying, it becomes better and better. And I love that about the game.
What a wonderful, frustrating game. I started another run just recently (never finished the game), and the difficulty spikes happen because of the enemies that spawn. There's one spot that has alternately had peasants, lightly armored Cumans, and fully armored opponents. I wind up saving just before I get there, just in case something goes wrong.
Getting combos to land is really hard, by the time you have an opponent who can survive the first hits, they can parry and riposte themselves. Or there are 6 peasants with maces and 2 dogs…. Your point about keeping your enemies in front of you is good, you lose fast when you are surrounded.
Enjoying these videos - perfect for me having started the game in the wake of the KCD trailer! So pull off the master strike, you need to block pretty much before the green shield appears? Also good tips on the bandit camps. I've just started those, so easy to get swarmed and killed even if kitted up.
I was really immersed by the combat of this game. I had to start going to bermard and start practicing with him at least once a day to just to RP my training as a soldier. I got disappointed when I realize at certain point all that boils down to just abusing MS.
Same for me. There are 2 things I would have liked in this game to be able to appreciate it 100% and be perfect: A 3rd person view, and another combat gameplay
I hear ya. I rage quit and swore off the game at one point. 😆 Next day I was back at training with Bernard. Doing the Rattay tourney and eventually it clicked. Combat is still a bit clunky at times but I’m really enjoying the game.
Combat is awful in this game. And it doesnt require skill. Not only is it awful, but the game doesn't tell you what to do so you have to google it. So to actually be good you just need to spend 10h with Bernard and upgrade your skills. It's literally that dumb. Then, get a good armor. And that's it, you can kill people. It's stupid, it's not fun, its ruining the game and many people probably quitted because they werent told what to do. Now you know. Once your statmaxxed you can go back enjoying the game without having your experienced ruined by a poorly designed system. Also, don't overcomplicate it. The game doesnt teach you much, but the little it teaches you doesn't even work. Just try to master strike and spam your combos. They wont work but if you have good stats they'll melt the enemies.
It’s incredibly rewarding and I personally love the combat system. Their streamlining it a little bit in the upcoming game in a few months, hopefully they don’t water it down though

I agree 💯

I’m about to play through again as well. Good point on the random mob difficulty. I started saving every time I fast traveled just to be safe.

Aside from the janky lock-on system, I love the combat. It's certainly not for everyone, though.

Thanks! Correct on the master strikes. Also the higher you level your weapon the later you can hit block to pull off the master strike.

For some reason, I can't find Captain Brenard, it could be because of the quest that I am in right now, but I dunno.
Definitely possible. There is a quest that takes captain Bernard away from the training area. Once you finish the quest he’ll go back.
because hes lazy as fuck, in my game he wakes up and arrived at the training area around 10am, then he have a break around 12-1pm?
Sound more easy than it really is 😅.
I love this game but I hate combat. 😢

Once you get the hang of it it'd so easy lol. Black Peter is nothing.
@@VaxWax-z5y who is black peter? I saw videos about him and his sword but my Henry is so weak still… 😅
@yomismo7870 ahh he is the reigning champion of the rattay tourney 🏆

This game has the worst, most tedious combat system I have ever seen. I played Witcher 1 and even it's combat was more enjoyable
bannerlord is way worse lol
@@johnkaplan3810 I played Bannerlord and it was better than this shit
@@nacelnikprosiak1260sounds like a skill issue
@@ifenslerI play both bannerlord, Witcher 3 and KCD. Bannerlord is easy compared to KCD. But yeah it’s a skill issue lol
@ thanks for bringing up bannerlord. Never heard of it but it looks like a game I would like. I’m gonna check it out
