The probability of Yahtzee ever getting gud at gaming is very slim. He has other qualities.RedRockRun said:Of all the things to criticize in KCD. He could have gone on about the game still needs a lot of patching, the NPC's who have American accents, the lack of variety in NPC faces, the exploitable gameplay mechanics, the dodgy horse controls, and the lack of grand pitched battles. I was waiting for that stuff. Yet he rags on the combat. I'd be keen to take his word for it too if I haven't seen so many people playing the game who don't have any issues.
I never thought I'd have to say this Yahtzee, but git gud.
If you didn't catch the live stream, Yahtzee pretty much outed himself as a bit of a disinterested hater that didn't feel like putting up with anything the game threw at him, basically refusing to even attempt to understand any of the evident or underlying mechanics, self-sabotaging himself into a corner and proving for the entire runtime that he really, really couldn't be bothered to get over it or himself. When success in one particular fight eventually happened, it was too late to change his tune or the already uploaded video, so that's what we got.
For a game set in 15th century Czechia, any form of English feels quite wrong. That said, the story does not suffer any more from this than any movie in the past did. It certainly felt more tolerable than, say, A Knight's Tale (2001). I put the year there since I don't know how many remake reboots Hollywood has farted out in the meantime.
After playing through the game in English, I started another run and chose the German audio. It's fine. Regionally closer to the area depicted, the only bad thing that I noticed about it was that I didn't know any of the voice actors involved, which isn't necessarily a bad thing at all. I would have preferred a fully voiced Czech version, but that does not (yet?) exist, if I'm not mistaken.
