Kingdom Come: Deliverance II - Henry's coming to see us on February 11th

[Serus]

I imagine if they tried to write Henry as being pious in any way their keyboards would literally start scalding their fingers

Bruh, it's an RPG. You can be super pious. You can be monogamous. You can even be a virgin.

Just like IRL.

Does the game react to you being any of those things, that's the issue. Pious especially is something that requries actions on your part. Does it give sensible and interesting opportunities to act it? If not then no you can't "BE" that, you can only "LARP" it. Just like in most CRPGs.

One thing I noticed, some of the attributes in the inventory screen were over 20, which suggests they've changed the character development scale a little bit (or the attribute caps at the very least).

[Swen]

GOTY boyos.

Although I expected even better graphics.

And saviour schnapps are back

 

[Drakortha]

How much involvement does JE Sawyer have in this historic game?

 

[Konjad]

I haven't been this excited for an upcoming game for about 2 decades...

[HoboForEternity]

looks exactly the same as kcd, even has that bit of stutter every now and then

not complaining ofc, it looking exactly the same is mostly a positive thing. i did kinda hope they improved the facial animation and mocap but honestly it's just cherry on top and not a deal breaker in any way.

it seems you can finally hotkeys usable items without going to inventory. same amount of equipment (except 2 sets of weapons now), and below the boot and spur slot, it look like what? torch? cape?

 

[Zariusz]

Man that feeling of exitement of waiting for the fresh new game. Everything is so mediocre, boring or gay today that i forgot how it is waiting for a great game.
I love that now foreigners speak their language instead of only Cumans, great for immersion though it sounds funny in English version, scene with that Polish guy would work in Czech version since languages are very simillar but with everyone speaking English it sounds funny.
Man i wish i could play it now.

Also Komar lol

Komar to jest zwierzę, kurwa jego mać,
Jak cię nie ujebie, to nie może spać.
Hej, czy widzisz komara, jak mu dupa świeci?
Przypierdol mu gazetą
Ooo
Wyżej nie poleci.

Mówi do mnie ojciec: Synu, nie masz racji,
Komar szuka dupy do-o kopulacji.
Hej, czy widzisz komara, jak mu dupa świeci?
Przypierdol mu gazetą
Ooo
Wyżej nie poleci.

Lata komar w nocy, lata komar w dzień,
Ciągle widzę jego pierdolony cień.
Hej, czy widzisz komara, jak mu dupa świeci?
Przypierdol mu gazetą
Ooo
Wyżej nie poleci.

Lata komar, lata, i szuka kobiety,
Patrzy, czy jakaś dupa nie wystaje zza tapety.
Hej, czy widzisz komara, jak mu dupa świeci?
Przypierdol mu gazetą
Ooo
Wyżej nie poleci.

Przyleciała mucha, komara dziewucha,
lata koło brzucha, a komar ją rucha.
Hej, czy widzisz komara, jak mu dupa świeci?
Przypierdol mu gazetą
Ooo
Wyżej nie poleci.

Another gameplay

 

[ferratilis]

I love the UI, so readable, so stylish.

Yep, it's really pritteh but WTF are those columns on the left and right edges? Is it supposed to be like a side-scrolling charscreen or what?

 

[PlayerEmers]

its KCD 1 but prettier and improved in many aspects

what im trying to say is: looks like kino is back on the menu boys

 

[Zariusz]

UI looks great but i think it would look better without those black areas on the upper and lower parts of screen.

 

[thesecret1]

Lol at pants in action pose

 

[Zariusz]

 

[Gargaune]

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2... Squires, 1 Cup?

 

[kangaxx]

The combat animations look a lot better IMO... some small tweaks have made quite a lot of difference.

 

[PlayerEmers]

The "status rabbit" looks cool. Its like they wanted to give the same vibe from vault boy animations from fallout 4.

This one is particular is neat: the more the enemy/neutral npc notices you on hostile/restricted area, the more he raises his ears. Absolute peak soul.

 

[Paul_cz]

The "status rabbit" looks cool.

Probably inspired by Bob a Bobek, who were also mascots of the world hockey championship that took place in Czechland some months back (that we won)

I thought it was based on those random ass rabbits from some old medieval manuscripts

[Zariusz]

Im sure there will be Krecik mods for that rabbit.

 

[ShiningSoldier]

I'm really sorry. I don't want to offend anyone. But I really can't understand why some people love KCD.
As for me, it has some nice ideas, but everything is ruined by:

• huge and empty open world
• battle system ruled by master strikes

Also I don't like the quest design, where you can't just go where you want, or you get a game over.

Like the hares in medieval art, very charming. I just recently saw a print of a hare hunting a hound in the cover art for this song, pretty appropriate tune for the first game when you're Henri the Tadpole:



EDIT: PlayerEmers beat me to it.
