What are the initial impressions of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?
Hello fellow gamers and welcome to the Video Gamers Podcast. It's Bohemia, it's 1403, and Ryan has been in the pillory for his eighth time. I'm on the run from the law for sleeping in the wrong bed, and we've lost our dog. Things might sound rough, but man are we having a good time. After a night in the bathhouses, we're clean, we're rested, and we're ready to dive into Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. But first, some introductions are in order. I am your host, Lord Josh. And joining me, he whined and whined about how dumb this game was at first, but I had to tell him he was late for recording to get him to stop playing now.
It's Ryan. Hey, hey, don't throw that at me. Listen, I didn't do it. It wasn't me. I swear. Is this how we're starting? Was that a peasant accent? I'm just perpetually arrested in the, what is it called again? The pillory is what they call it.
I thought it was the stock. So I don't know the difference between stocks and pillory, but I was always under the assumption that those were the stocks.
I don't know what it is, but I grew to love it. It felt like home. I was there crying.
you grew to love being in the stock it's just it felt comfortable you know it's like kind of that that you know that home feeling okay yeah i mean i i don't know man they show a pretty gnarly scene with you being in the the pillory for like 24 hours and that looked rough to me man All right. Well, listen, we have a phenomenal show. The long awaited kingdom come deliverance to deep dive is upon us, right? Yeah. We have been dying to talk about this game, man. Like legitimately we, we have said, dude, I can't wait to do this deep dive. Um, and it's finally time. We have been playing the heck out of this game. This game is a massive game. We're going to just start off with saying, like, I know I'm about 30 some odd hours in.
I think you're a little bit further in than me, Ryan. And I feel like we have just scratched the surface of of what kingdom come deliverance 2 has to offer so while we will be talking about the beginning of the game uh and some of the stuff is like kind of you know initial thoughts as you start off and challenges and things like that we are not going to get into any kind of mid or even late game spoilers for people um but we are going to do our best to kind of just describe what like this game starts off like kind of what it turns into and then we can just kind of rip it from there man so
And that's based on Josh having maybe 35-ish hours and I have 40. Yeah. And that's like, oh, we're going to get into the beginning of the game. That shows kind of how much this game has to offer, which is just wild.
It's, dude, we got a lot to cover. So listen, we're not even going to read reviews. We're just going to dive right into this. We don't have time. There's so much to cover. We don't have time. We could talk about this game for three hours. So we're going to try to cover all this, but you know what? Let's just get right into it, Ryan, because... Let's do it. Like I said, we're excited, man. It's not every day a game like this comes along and there's a lot to talk about. So... What I want to do is I want to start off with just kind of our hype leading up to Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and to kind of qualify, because we have seen this a lot from people, is I didn't play the first one. Do I need to play the first one? Neither one of us ever played the first Kingdom Come Deliverance.
I mean, I think I watched video one time or a trailer to be like, I've heard people talk about this game, but... Do you feel like not playing the first has had any effect on you in your experience with the second?
You know, if it has, like, ignorance is bliss. Like, I have no knowledge, and it did not affect me to my knowledge in any way. From what I took from the story, from my gameplay, how it started, how I'm progressing. Like, none of those factors I thought... man, what are they talking about? Is that a callback to the other game? None of those things came into play for me.
