I'm honestly really happy that they've essentially stuck to their design philosophy from the first game. I totally understand there were systems and such that served as barriers for some folks, and I can see why, but its those same barriers that trapped me in the game once I started meeting it where it asked me to. KCD1 gave me a similar vibe as something like Morrowind where it's a heavily manual game with some jank that doesn't really hold your hand at all. Sometimes even to the detriment of your enjoyment. Lord knows I lost my mind a few times when getting ganked by a couple of peasants with long sticks. But holy shit, once you really start understanding the systems, you can lose yourself in the world and spend upwards of 100 hours just immersing yourself in the journey from peasant to warrior. So to hear that KCD2 is just KCD1 but more refined and polished? That's pretty much rocketing this game high on my GOTY 2025 list, and so early in the year too. Also side note, really happy they've given reviewers an entire month to review this one, plus letting them run previews.
What bothered me about the first one is that it was TOO realistic. IMO, a video game has to find the sweet spot between absolute realism and, well, fun. I don't want my games to feel like a part time job (that I'm paying to play.) Micromanaging the minutia of life like bathing, getting dressed, eating meals, sleeping, etc gets old really fast.
That depends on what it is trying to do. Games can do whatever they want really, and there's nothing wrong with trying to create a game that prioritizes simulation and whatever comes with that. But I do agree that it should be reasonable to control.
Yeah I played the 1st one to DEATH. I want a "hard" rpg and this ticks every box for me. Pre ordered this? Which I don't normally do but that dev team have my trust
DCG...you sound a lot better today. That's great. I read in the comments that this video contains plot spoilers....so I turned-off the video at the one minute mark. I do not appreciate spoilers in new games, old games...any games.
always with the "over 100 hours" dream guy has the power to create time and is always the first to finish games b4 they even come out. Hez a super hero 😂
Hi, this is dreamcast guy. I just played this game and beat it. I got a million hours in it and it's only been out for 3 days. lol. sounds like you can actually talk now. That's good to know. Hopefully, your teeth are feeling a lot better.
i really like your content. i been watching for years. one of my fave youtubers but this video has pissed me off. You put big parts of the game in your video's stuff people myself included have waited for since the 1st game meaning cutscene's. You did this with ff7 rebirth and so many other games stop putting so much in ffs. just show gameplay. not cutscenes and stop talking about major plot point's, This is the reason you get so much hate on alot of things. Also i'm glad surgery went well just a shame you had to grate me with this video. Please do better on future reviews or wait a few days before you post your reviews
To be honest this sounds like a game that critics will fawn over, even citing overly complex mini-game systems as a plus, but if any AAA game did it you'd destroy it...
That's the thing. This game isnt abiut rushing into the mext thing and the next thing. This game was built for gamers who love to take their time and really dig into ecery aspect of things offered. Much like RDR 2, it's designed to take your time
It looks an interesting game but the hunger loop stuff - I really can't be bothered to spend hours just sharpening and forging, so I'll be giving it a miss. I must be a crap player lol, I play to enjoy and relax and this sounds nothing like what I would want to do. The more realistic they make games, the more I dont want to play them, I have to do eating and sleeping in real life and cleaning kit etc.. For those who are jobless and living in mom's basement though - knock yourselves out, this will give you an idea of real life is like by the sounds of it lol
Just to let everyone know, DreamcastGuy did unfortunately die in surgery. Any Dreamcast Guy you see in future videos is an AI imposter.
I'm impressed that you can put so many hours into gaming and not get burned out from it.
I dont think people understand what the word "literally" actually means. Just sayin
Uk here, I heard two girls about 17 years old talking the other day and they said the word "literally" every other word pretty much haha
They literally don't
Your voice is back to normal! EDIT: Oh now I watched the whole video, nevermind hahah
Well… as normal as can be…
@@gusgoof358it was before surgery watch the ending
This isn't one of his pre-recorded videos???
@@HytesGaming89it most likely is yes
Glad to see you are giving scores again, I missed it when you stopped.

I never played the first one but your comment is making me wanna try it out

Godspeed recovery

11:41 they should have added an adrenaline mode so when your starving and tired you can actually fight

This his pre recorded.
@Exclusive1011111111 I was being sarcastic, I know it's been pre-recorded otherwise he'd be live right.
@ and I just finished the video. I feel dumb now 😂

Reminds me of Steve McQueen in Nevada Smith. His family was murdered and he spent the rest of the movie hunting them down one by one.
DCG probably hasn't rested since surgery. Get some rest man.
Pre recorded man lol this dude is probably in bed rn
Other than GTA6 this is probably my most anticipated game. The first game is the most fun rpg i've played.
That's the thing. This game isnt abiut rushing into the mext thing and the next thing. This game was built for gamers who love to take their time and really dig into ecery aspect of things offered. Much like RDR 2, it's designed to take your time
Wow. You don't care about spoilers do you
Central and eastern european devs are on the rise
KCD is the best mass murderer sim on the market. Stealth ftw.
How does it run on ps5 pro?
DF made a video. It has only one mode on the pro. Fidelity of the base ps5 at 60fps.
hi DreamcastGuy
Plays like REAL LIFE?..... I'm OUT
Forza horizon a driving game im out!!
Played the first one didn’t enjoy it because of the same reason lol
Got enough problems with my own real life let alone another one.
@@shakshaka8355 driving is fun. Living in medieval times is not.
I passed on the first one I'm passing on this one to. The way you describing the game it sounds like they trying to do to much.
Please mention spoiler information in the beginning before you spoil..
How was your surgery?!
If its like first KiCD it will be ok.
Looks like they've focused so much on depth, they forgot to make it fun.
GTA six going to take the top of all games coming sooon ❤
100 hours already. Dang
Wow cool
It looks an interesting game but the hunger loop stuff - I really can't be bothered to spend hours just sharpening and forging, so I'll be giving it a miss.

Xbox is dead......happy day.😊
Finally someone who spits facts!
You should try actually doing something with your life instead of being a Sony cuck.
Xbox is trash.
Hey gaybers. Dreamcastguy is looking cute today.
Congrats on the teeth and not sounding like you’re choking on marbles anymore DCG.
This is prerecorded dude like one week ago he said it in previous video.
@@parker4447 oh. Ok well I guess I’ll just go fms
