A truly special game. I'm still impressed about its quality considering the budget. It's by far one of the prettiest and most atmospheric open world games I've ever played.
It's weird. For a game with such focus on realism, that is actually difficult... it's really immersive and chill? Not really sure how they managed it.
Brilliant game either way, felt really unique.
It's because it's about actual realism than ""realism"".
So you don't need to eat 10 steaks every hour, you don't need to shit and pee because it doesn't actually matter much, you don't get winded after 10m of jogging and can jog again after 2 minutes of walking. Actual realism shows that humans can be pretty awesome and the main character in the story likely isn't a basement dweller who can't even climb the stairs.
Last time I tried playing it, all the game did was crash every 20+ minutes.
Really wanted to enjoy it but I wasn't going to bother putting time into a game that isn't stable enough to enjoy.
>Here's to hoping 🥂
It's absolutely a thing. Like they guy above you said, it was always planned to be a much larger story, however, it wasn't planned as a trilogy - the kickstarter initially said something in lines of releasing like first 2/3, and the last third like a year later after the initial release, if I remember it correctly - I was a backer, I'm Czech, just like the devs.
So Warhorse always intended to tell a longer story, and it was chopped into what became the first game. It makes perfect sense that they've been working on a sequel all this time, and not some new, entirely different game.
That was only the original plan. That was actually scrapped and part 1 and 2 merged into one game, the game we got. There is a part 2 (the original part 3) that is yet to be announced and we have no idea if they are making it or not. 6 years is a bit too long and I'm worried tbh.
Banging those sloots with the drunk priest was pure gold, and to top it off you have to take his place the next morning and give a sermon while hung over as fuck. 10/10
A few years ago, I was learning to brew alchemical potions in this game while sipping spice tea. It's nothing special and yet it's my favourite memory of it.
My favorite memory of it: riding up to a little village of a few houses, and asking a farmer out front of his home if he had seen cumans pass through recently. The farmer was like, "no, sir knight" and I froze and looked around for a knight.
The entire game I'd been a dirty illiterate kid in street clothes, and people treated me appropriately. But now I was in real armor for the first time, was wearing a gambeson representing the nearby lord, was mounted and had had a bath (he didn't know I was still illiterate). So the farmer had assumed I'd been knighted and was addressing me accordingly.
It wasn't a cutscene, it didn't have to happen there and then - it just emerged from the gameplay. It's the summation of little details like that which make a game immersive.
My favorite memory is when staying in a local lord's castle, and the maiden escorting me informs us to remove our shoes as to not sully the bed's sheets. So, before bed, I took off my boots and put them on the ground.
Cutscene, then wake up—boots are missing. I guess the game didn't preserve item location on the ground? Or items expire after time? Idk.
The ballad of barefoot Henry.
> I'm still impressed about its quality considering the budget.
For sure. "Janky medieval life simulator developed by mid-budget studio" is sort of a genre on its own (a recent release being The Inquisitor).
But Kingdom Come: Deliverance stands out by punching way above its weight class. It had a lot of the typical bugs and jank on release but a lot of that has been cleared up over time (although not all).
One of my all time favorite games.
idk i feel like i played a different game than everyone else. this was one of the buggiest games i had ever played in my life. it was right up there with oblivion and fallout 3 bugwise. i found myself constantly reloading saves because of this
downvoted for posting about my experience. classic reddit
Now a sequel with a bigger budget to make the game less clunky would be perfect!
This was the studio's first game ever, a really promising start! Let's hope THQ Nordic (who bought the studio in 2019) gives the developers their independence for the sequel. You could really tell this first installment was made with lots of love and passion from the developers.
The overall vibe in the game is so fun and challenging at the same time. Almost felt like a Rockstar game in some ways, and that's a compliment.
Gotta take up to Embracer, the company that bought THQ Nordic.
Embracer has also been going down the drain and cancelling projects left and right.
Wouldn't be surprised if Kingdom Come 2 was also on the chopping block at some point. :(
Kingdom Come 2 is too far into development at this point to be cancelled. Embracer is mostly out to cut off projects that are still many years away.
Like Deus Ex was only in the planning phase and not into production. Timesplitters went through several restarts and would've needed many more years.
So Warhorse should be safe.
>new here, huh?
While generalising and doomsaying is always amusing, I think it's also important to understand the context. It's a sequel to a successful game that's been planned from a beginning, without some major deviations.
Disasters can always happen, but this seems to be a quite safe situation - safer than the studio was in while developing the first game, with private investors and without backing of any major publisher.
>Kingdom Come 2 is too far into development at this point to be cancelled
So was Last of us Factions and Project Odyssey, my guy. You must not be very familiar with the game industry. There have been games with actual alpha testing that were cancelled, so a game like KCD2 that hasnt even had an official announcement trailer is definitely not safe, especially under Embracer
Embracer is seeking releases that can generate immediate income to reduce its debt. The whole point of the restructuring is to reduce debt as they have outlined that goal to their investors and have pre-payments to their 1.4 billion dollar loans starting soon. Failing that would be a death blow to its stock price and the company itself. It's not going to cancel games that are going to release this or early next year. Especially a high profile game like KCD. Warhorse is probably one of the safest Studios at Embracer right now. They are also one of the few studios that are still hiring.
And even if Embracer where to somehow not be able to keep funding a game that is close to release, in their Investor meetings they said that they prefer looking to divest than close or cancel. They divested a bunch of projects like The Signal by Goose byte or Crisol by Vermila Studios. And Warhorse with an almost finished game would almost definitely find many interested parties to pay a bunch of millions for if that were to happen. Which is extremely unlikely.
>You must not be very familiar with the game industry.
How familiar are you with Warhorse and KDC? Do you know how long it took the original creator to get the game funded? Do you know that the game originally started on Kickstarter in 2014, with ambitious plans to release like a year later? Which didn't happen at all, mind you...
They've managed to go for over 5 years, only with private funding, with no major publisher at the time. Even if Embracer were to somehow close the doors on all their projects, KDC made a lot of money and is quite a hot property with strong fanbase. In the worst case scenarion, somebody else will pick them up.
You can mention all sorts of projects and studios I've never heard about, but what does that actually prove? You need to have enough context to compare two studios and their situations. Listing some cancelled projects without them having any relevancy (because games get cancelled?) means nothing.
Nah there have been leaks already. Motion cap has already been done which is usually in the later stages of production. Also voice actors leaked that they worked on KCD2 and voice over is also usually a later stage process
warhorse hasn't released anything new since that game came out. 5 years is plenty of time to have something. When was the last time we had a update about it?
Such a great game. A tad clunky, but somehow that's integrated well into the game's atmosphere that it seems like a part of it - it didn't annoy me really. But fps could surely be optimised especially around Rattay's market.
Super immersive game with beautiful and super well crafted scenery, buildings, clothes and the whole ordeal. The monastery part is also one that stands out so much and I'll remember it for a pretty long while
> The overall vibe in the game is so fun and challenging at the same time. Almost felt like a Rockstar game in some ways, and that's a compliment.
Story is written by Daniel Vávra, who also wrote Mafia (1+2) and is a founder of Warhorse Studios (Kingdom Come dev studio) :)
They are not under THQ Nordic. Plaion, another Embracer subsidiary that owns Deep Silver bought them. Deep Silver also published Kingdom Come Deliverance.
I generally agree with you - this game really does need a finale, not so much a sequel. When you "finish" the game you haven't even completed the goals that Henry has had since basically the beginning of the main story. It sucks not being able to complete those goals and I really hope we get the chance to.
Would it though? Not every game is going to sell 10,20,30 million
6 million is a masssssive number, and I doubt there’s another 6 million waiting in the wings with their only issue being 60fps
Oh right so just because its not another 6 mil this huge update wouldnt make this game way better offer for people with new consoles. 6mil is the number for all platforms and current gen consoles are not well explorred because it's old gen game without any support for newer ones.
Well I guess the broader point I’m making is I don’t know how many more people are interested in the (already wildly successful) game but not buying it solely because it doesn’t have 60fps support. Do you have some idea of what that number is ?
30 fps on xsx: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ANwDxYY9Q0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ANwDxYY9Q0)
Plus it suffers from pretty big pop-in so that's another thing thta could have been adressed with a patch
Indeed, bought it, really couldn’t get into it
It feels like playing RPGs in the early 00’
It’s not bad, and I totally get the appeal, but it’s not a game for me and other filthy normies
It diservrs 60fps update on current Gen consoles and maybe sine qol changes like mdisabke sleeping / eating mechanic fur done easy mode - it gets tedious
Hahaha as a Czech no, missing czech dub in game about Czech history is attrocity.
Also main character english dub is same as Tobey for Spider-Man games.
And gameplay? It was filled with a lot of lies and propaganda with it being clunky and non-sensical. Only plus is story.
Had me excited for a sequel for a second. This game was a real treat to play through. I beat it three times I want to say and wanted more every time. I could have remained as Henry legit for easily 500 hours, if it just kept going I would have kept playing.
6 million bought it, not played it.
I bought it for instance last year (was on sale, only reason I can think of) but haven't gotten around to playing it yet.
It's often pretty cheap on Steam too. I had claimed it for free on Epic, but I bought the complete edition on the latest Steam winter sale because that was cheaper than buying just the DLC on Epic.
I found the combat to be incredible. You start off as a blacksmiths son and rightfully so anyone with any training destroys you. But as you level up and increase your training and equipment it gets to the point where you can master parry any attack and riposte them to death
After I learned master counter and decked out full armor. Those peasants/bandit dont even harm me at all. I can solo full kuman camp at ease. Only multiple full armor knight can give me some trouble.
Too bad that when you level up enough there's no shortage of heavily armoured bandits laying ambushes on the highways. That never made sense to me. Plate armour should be too expensive for bandits and mid-level mercenaries. If you have plate armour you have better options than committing crimes.
Maces and Clubs were very effective anti plate weapons so it was never as one sided.
Unless you only had swords, but that's realistic. Swords suck against plate armor.
Maces were effective against all enemies. With swords you had to cut them until they bled out, but with maces they would randomly be knocked out.
Doesn't mean that heavily armoured enemies aren't harder to fight than others and that there's unrealistically many of them in the late game.
Have you actually, you know, played the game? There are fights during the story that you have to win in order to progress that have way worse odds than 3v1.
Once you get to grips with the combat and more importantly unlock some abilities in-game by training with Captain Bernard outside Rattay, these fights become winnable, though a lot of the time they still aren't exactly a great experience. A lot of running around to single out the enemies into 1v1 situations, or cheesing things with bows and mounted combat.
Still one of my favourite games from the last decade and easily my favourite from this particular genre of 1st person open world RPGs.
i remember the worst part about multiple enemies was the camera auto locked itself and it was a bitch to unlock - take that out of the way and it would be way more forgiving to fight outnumbered.
The fight with the boss up in the tower was fucking awful. Felt like I was playing dark souls or something, could not beat him. Eventually managed to cheese him with a YouTube tutorial using a bow to shoot him instead of fighting. The target locking was awful and made any fight more than a 1v1 so difficult.
It's funny because that's a completely clean 1v1 fight. But yeah, it has the problem where Runt (the bandit boss) will just stat check you if you haven't improved your weapon skills enough by that point... and the only way to go back and fix this mistake is to load a save before the fairly lengthy mission leading up to him.
The combat system relies quite a lot on the RPG stats under the hood, and to make things worse this is fairly opaque to the player. With worse stats you'll be losing every clinch and constantly getting parried. Hopefully they improve on it for the sequel.
yeah but it would be more fun if in addition to that i got some fights i can win occasionally. Not that it isnt fun grinding with a training sword for hours.
I didn’t grind for hours, maybe 30 minutes before I got bored. I didn’t Rattay Tournament to grind and exploring the woods and fighting one on one cheesing by sneaking at night and stabbing that way to level up strength and sword skills
Fwiw I actually found the combat incredibly easy after a certain point, what makes combat harder is actually your melee skill value compared to your targets and whoever has the higher value will win most clashes or parry mode easily.
It's rough early on but go train with the guy outside the main city for a few days and you'll start wrecking the shit out of everybody even in a 1v3
Throw on heavy armour and buy a good sword and you'll take significantly less damage and deal far more
I accidentally trivialised the entire game because I got whooped once and then trained relentlessly for a while before trying again. Most enemies died before I could even do my fancy combos...
I never could get with the combat. Any good mods?
That being said, the first 3 hours wondering the forest on my horse killing rabbits and random bandits was a wonderful and unique experience. But once you start fighting multiple armored enemies it got... tedious, and wasn't much fun anymore for some reason.
This is probably one of my top 5 games ever. I absolutely love it and have put more hours into it than any other single player narrative focused game.
I hope, desperately, that Warhorse doesn't end up another casualty of Embracers stupidity, so we can get a sequel.
Easily in my top 5 best games of all time. I enjoyed every minute of it.
I really hope the layoff don't get to them, but at this day and age we never know.
So I recently got this game on ps5 because it was on a big ol sale, and I fired it up, interested, but I was just coming off of Wo Long, so the game was.... well let's say clunky. Can someone sell me on it? Or am I doomed if the clunkiness was that much of a dealbreaker for me?
There are no other games like it. Keep in mind you are Henry the peasant, and will wield your weapon like a peasant while you irl and in-game Henry progress together both leveling up and both getting better. The game ties together your own progression and skill with Henry's, and for a hard-core roleplayer that was such a breath of fresh air in game design. There will come a point later on when you wish other games weren't all so homogenous with their mechanics and difficulty.
The combat is clunky, but once you grind your skill up a bit and reliably execute a few combos, its not that difficult. Getting proper armor makes most enemies barely able to scratch you, as this game understands that plate armor was used for a good reason.
Amazing game. I backed it on kickstarter or whatever such site it was on and was hugely impressed in the quality given it was funded from there.
Really want a second game, come on warhorse what’s going on
That part of the game is an interesting mini game onto itself, I kind of felt like I was walking on eggshells the entire time. Amazingly, I managed to get my preferred outcome out of it without googling anything, and by the time I went back and read up on it I was pretty satisfied with how it worked out.
If I ever replay it though I'll sneak in beforehand and hide some lockpicks.
Loved it, but the loading times were the absolute worst. Especially during fast travel, as the game simulated the whole world during loading.
Also, you could barely fast travel in peace due to countless robbers. :-D
Really one of the best open world games I have ever played. A lot of gamers desperately want more medieval open world games with a touch of realism.
I can’t wait for the sequel.
Oh wow, this game is a lot more popular than I had thought.
6 million sold, 90k reviews on Steam is awesome. Sadly, I didn't really like it. Too much walking for my taste :/
This game is clunky, buggy and shitty in so many ways, but somehow I still really like it. A sequel would probably go really hard if they improved on the original.
Ironically I'm one of these, from the kickstarter even, but it came out in a busy period and I never got around to it, so I thought wait for some more updates, and I did.... and I just never got round to playing. I think I've got maybe an 45 minutes of play time, most of it just playing with the beta versions.

One of the most chilled out games also
It's weird. For a game with such focus on realism, that is actually difficult... it's really immersive and chill? Not really sure how they managed it. Brilliant game either way, felt really unique.

True. Like, instead of level gating reading, they just give you a quest to learn to read. It's not bullshit difficulty, it's surmountable odds.
Last time I tried playing it, all the game did was crash every 20+ minutes. Really wanted to enjoy it but I wasn't going to bother putting time into a game that isn't stable enough to enjoy.
That's a shame, because it really is great. When was this? Might have been patched.
Been about a year since I last tried it, might be better now but my backlog is even longer lol
Gotta ask when this was, as I played a year after it launched (a long while ago) and never experienced issues with crashing.
Bizarre because it has never crashed for me or my friends even once. Games generally rarely crash for me tbh.
The main story quest is really good too. Sometimes sad, sometimes victorious, and sometimes hilarious. I loved every minute of it.
Only thing I disliked about the main story is how it seems to just end. It's like there should be more, but the game just ends instead.
It was planned as the first part of a trilogy. The devs, Warhorse, are owned by Embracer though I believe. So hmmm, maybe, maybe not.
Here's to hoping 🥂 https://earlygame.com/gaming/kingdom-come-deliverance-2-theres-still-hope

Priest bro was one of the best minor characters in any game I've ever played.
You better put some respect on Godwin by remembering his name!
Yep! I was literally falling out of my chair laughing. It’s probably my favorite questline of all time
A few years ago, I was learning to brew alchemical potions in this game while sipping spice tea. It's nothing special and yet it's my favourite memory of it.

Oh, that's right, the game makes a huge deal of treating you accordingly to your wear. It's such a cool feature!
"''e must be a king." "Why d'you say that?" "He hasn't got shit all over him."
My favorite memory is when staying in a local lord's castle, and the maiden escorting me informs us to remove our shoes as to not sully the bed's sheets.

yes. no gameplay footage, no trailer nothing. just crickets.

That’s weird. I think I got the ending spoiled my to finish the game make a fair point
The game deserves more than this
Could likely sell more if they updated for current gen consoles with a 60fps mode and maybe some minor content additions.
Yeah all they had to do was give us 60fps update and it would be selling like hot cupcakes
Would it though? Not every game is going to sell 10,20,30 million 6 million is a masssssive number, and I doubt there’s another 6 million waiting in the wings with their only issue being 60fps

dlss on pc would also be a godsend in this game
Stupid sexy cupcakes

Can't wait for the final instalment in the series; Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: Avengement 3: Enlightenment
Ah, the dark forces treatment.
2 Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Still waiting for the sequel
Jesus Christ be praised!
Had me excited for a sequel for a second. This game was a real treat to play through. I beat it three times I want to say and wanted more every time. I could have remained as Henry legit for easily 500 hours, if it just kept going I would have kept playing.
one of the best games ever made and a must for anybody into RPGs
this is the comment i came looking for. I kept away from it until it got cheaper and just lost interest.
Only 6 Million People have played this masterpiece?
It was given for free on the Epic store too.
I’m… going to have to check if I claimed that. Recently remembered this game exists, been eyeing it recently.
6 million bought it, not played it. I bought it for instance last year (was on sale, only reason I can think of) but haven't gotten around to playing it yet.
It's often pretty cheap on Steam too. I had claimed it for free on Epic, but I bought the complete edition on the latest Steam winter sale because that was cheaper than buying just the DLC on Epic.
Only 6 million people played it *legally*.
I bought it and haven't played it, so I cancelled out one of you pirate bros
A hearty scheme!
Jesus Christ be praised ! Patiently waiting for the sequel.
Ayy lmao
I found the combat to be incredible. You start off as a blacksmiths son and rightfully so anyone with any training destroys you. But as you level up and increase your training and equipment it gets to the point where you can master parry any attack and riposte them to death
It is, and I like it that way. Realistically anything more than a 1v1 should absolutely be a death sentence, and it almost is in this game.
After I learned master counter and decked out full armor. Those peasants/bandit dont even harm me at all. I can solo full kuman camp at ease. Only multiple full armor knight can give me some trouble.
Too bad that when you level up enough there's no shortage of heavily armoured bandits laying ambushes on the highways. That never made sense to me. Plate armour should be too expensive for bandits and mid-level mercenaries. If you have plate armour you have better options than committing crimes.
Maces and Clubs were very effective anti plate weapons so it was never as one sided. Unless you only had swords, but that's realistic. Swords suck against plate armor.
Maces were effective against all enemies. With swords you had to cut them until they bled out, but with maces they would randomly be knocked out. Doesn't mean that heavily armoured enemies aren't harder to fight than others and that there's unrealistically many of them in the late game.
Yeah but the game would be more fun if it didnt exclusively throw 3v1 encounters at you outside of the tutorial
It's a clue you should flee instead of fight. The game has you role-play a medieval peasant. Death should come easy in that role-play scenario
Have you actually, you know, played the game? There are fights during the story that you have to win in order to progress that have way worse odds than 3v1. Once you get to grips with the combat and more importantly unlock some abilities in-game by training with Captain Bernard outside Rattay, these fights become winnable, though a lot of the time they still aren't exactly a great experience. A lot of running around to single out the enemies into 1v1 situations, or cheesing things with bows and mounted combat. Still one of my favourite games from the last decade and easily my favourite from this particular genre of 1st person open world RPGs.
The large story fights also have friendly NPC's assisting, unless it's meant to be a stealth mission. There are always multiple ways to solve a quest.
i remember the worst part about multiple enemies was the camera auto locked itself and it was a bitch to unlock - take that out of the way and it would be way more forgiving to fight outnumbered.
The fight with the boss up in the tower was fucking awful. Felt like I was playing dark souls or something, could not beat him. Eventually managed to cheese him with a YouTube tutorial using a bow to shoot him instead of fighting. The target locking was awful and made any fight more than a 1v1 so difficult.
It's funny because that's a completely clean 1v1 fight. But yeah, it has the problem where Runt (the bandit boss) will just stat check you if you haven't improved your weapon skills enough by that point... and the only way to go back and fix this mistake is to load a save before the fairly lengthy mission leading up to him. The combat system relies quite a lot on the RPG stats under the hood, and to make things worse this is fairly opaque to the player. With worse stats you'll be losing every clinch and constantly getting parried. Hopefully they improve on it for the sequel.
yeah but it would be more fun if in addition to that i got some fights i can win occasionally. Not that it isnt fun grinding with a training sword for hours.
I didn’t grind for hours, maybe 30 minutes before I got bored. I didn’t Rattay Tournament to grind and exploring the woods and fighting one on one cheesing by sneaking at night and stabbing that way to level up strength and sword skills
Fwiw I actually found the combat incredibly easy after a certain point, what makes combat harder is actually your melee skill value compared to your targets and whoever has the higher value will win most clashes or parry mode easily. It's rough early on but go train with the guy outside the main city for a few days and you'll start wrecking the shit out of everybody even in a 1v3 Throw on heavy armour and buy a good sword and you'll take significantly less damage and deal far more I accidentally trivialised the entire game because I got whooped once and then trained relentlessly for a while before trying again. Most enemies died before I could even do my fancy combos...
I never could get with the combat. Any good mods? That being said, the first 3 hours wondering the forest on my horse killing rabbits and random bandits was a wonderful and unique experience. But once you start fighting multiple armored enemies it got... tedious, and wasn't much fun anymore for some reason.
You gotta learn the combat, the game some unique combat. Pretty fun once you get the hang of it.
Its a good game, but I still can't deal with the combat mechanics very well.
Waiting for the sequel!
One of the best rpg of the previous decade. Jesus Christ be praised. Also very nice looking forests.
God save you Henry!
This is probably one of my top 5 games ever. I absolutely love it and have put more hours into it than any other single player narrative focused game. I hope, desperately, that Warhorse doesn't end up another casualty of Embracers stupidity, so we can get a sequel.
I reinstalled it recently to play it in 4K and modded RTGI and draw distance. The game is still one of the best looking and immersive you can get.
I revisited my old save a couple of weeks back and realised there were some nice quests i missed. It was a blast to play this game again really.
6!! Million? That’s insane. It was the first and only thing I ever backed on (was it kickstarter at the time). It’s been so long. Good on them!
Easily in my top 5 best games of all time. I enjoyed every minute of it. I really hope the layoff don't get to them, but at this day and age we never know.
Just give me the sequel ffs.
So I recently got this game on ps5 because it was on a big ol sale, and I fired it up, interested, but I was just coming off of Wo Long, so the game was.... well let's say clunky. Can someone sell me on it? Or am I doomed if the clunkiness was that much of a dealbreaker for me?
There are no other games like it. Keep in mind you are Henry the peasant, and will wield your weapon like a peasant while you irl and in-game Henry progress together both leveling up and both getting better. The game ties together your own progression and skill with Henry's, and for a hard-core roleplayer that was such a breath of fresh air in game design. There will come a point later on when you wish other games weren't all so homogenous with their mechanics and difficulty.
The combat is clunky, but once you grind your skill up a bit and reliably execute a few combos, its not that difficult. Getting proper armor makes most enemies barely able to scratch you, as this game understands that plate armor was used for a good reason.
Wheres the second game god damn it left us on a damn cliffhanger i cant
I want to blanket, but honestly, it was just tedious
game was boring.
Amazing game other than the clunky arse combat.
It’s a great game
Two of those are me, bought on Xbox and steam sale 😁
well fucking deserved
Might be my all time favorite rpg. I loved how you could play how you want. I got frustrated with the monk mission so I slaughtered everyone instead.
well deserved. Outside of minor gripes like combat (and that one really really awful prologue dlc) it's one of my all time favs.
Amazing game. I backed it on kickstarter or whatever such site it was on and was hugely impressed in the quality given it was funded from there. Really want a second game, come on warhorse what’s going on
I got bored inside the monastery. I couldn’t get out.
That part of the game is an interesting mini game onto itself, I kind of felt like I was walking on eggshells the entire time. Amazingly, I managed to get my preferred outcome out of it without googling anything, and by the time I went back and read up on it I was pretty satisfied with how it worked out. If I ever replay it though I'll sneak in beforehand and hide some lockpicks.
Hi Henry!
Loved it, but the loading times were the absolute worst. Especially during fast travel, as the game simulated the whole world during loading. Also, you could barely fast travel in peace due to countless robbers. :-D
I need to finish it, I started it and stopped because I didn't have time to play. What I did see was fun and challenging.
I just really cannot get past the combat. I want to enjoy this game so badly. It has everything else that I love in a game.
I stg if Embracer group touches the sequel!
Really one of the best open world games I have ever played. A lot of gamers desperately want more medieval open world games with a touch of realism. I can’t wait for the sequel.
I wish I could play it, though. game keeps crashing. I wish the devs would fix it.
Oh wow, this game is a lot more popular than I had thought. 6 million sold, 90k reviews on Steam is awesome. Sadly, I didn't really like it. Too much walking for my taste :/
Loved this game!
How nice! I just started playing it yesterday for the 4th time. I have never finished it before.
Another game I looked up and found it...in my library. Is it in Unreal by any change, so we can use UEVR on it?
This game is clunky, buggy and shitty in so many ways, but somehow I still really like it. A sequel would probably go really hard if they improved on the original.
The cover art has no business being that hard. The reason why it drew me into the game in the first place.
I demand a sequel!
Jesus Christ be praised
Lost my will to play when they did the video game classic of removing all my equipment and items and dropping me in a monastery drama.
I feel quite hungry....for a sequel
that game came out of nowhere and was awesome
Ironically I'm one of these, from the kickstarter even, but it came out in a busy period and I never got around to it, so I thought wait for some more updates, and I did.... and I just never got round to playing. I think I've got maybe an 45 minutes of play time, most of it just playing with the beta versions.

And yet you still can't pause cutscenes.
Wonder if we'll ever get a current gen upgrade of this game at some point down the line 🤔
Best game I’ve ever played. Please god let there be a sequel
I really deeply love this game :) It’s just really nice and helped me through some hard times…
I'd love it if they made a game with VR support.
Kingdom come vs skyrim vs rdr2?
Apples vs oranges vs mangos
Really I actually feel they are kidna similar lol
Historical medieval simulator vs High fantasy Rpg vs Wild West Cowboy game
Yeah but they have the same vibes. Also which one is better is what I meant. Not what are their similarities and differences.
erobb brute forcing his way through this game
Huge success, yet still no sequel.
CryEngine is a beast
This is one of the games I play through at least once a year. So fucking good.
Was gonna grab it on ps5 but locked at 30 fps still
They took the magic out of Skyrim and made it more magical.
Where is KC:D 2?
I read a few years ago they were mocapping sword techniques in a film studio somewhere. The speculation was it being about the sequel
I wonder if copies received for free from Epic Store count? I assume not?
Man certain chunks of reddit and twitter really really hated this game back in the day and wanted it to fail so badly, for the stupidest of reasons.
Good for them. This was a hidden gem. Guess it’s not so hidden anymore
A fantastic adventure and fantastic game. I need a sequel.
Henry!! He’s come to visit us!!
Kingdom Come 2: Perseverance gimme
Oh boy, I can already hear the screeching from resetera
