I like how the game is so accurate that the experts started to sound more like sports commentators.

“Should have thought of that before becoming poor” lol

[glendogdangler]

HEMA=Historical European Martial Arts for those who are wondering

[presidentdeadpool]

Blacksmith: so what kind of sword do you want?

Knight: YES!

[Joao-peur]

For those of you not in the know, the Italian style of swordfighting, also known as the Carpadoccio, is strictly one-handed, because you need a free hand to make hand gestures when you're announcing your attack's name.

"Should have thought of that before becoming poor" that's something Pixelated Apollo would say.

They were genuinely happy this game got most things right I'm glad to see it

You guys are really improving from feedback. You brought instructors relevant to the game and with expertise in that field (referring to having fencers talk about sword fighting.) You are also using better footage that represents games more and also provide better talking points. Good job!

I am so proud that this game is from my country and that it makes people care about Czech republic more. In 2018 in Sázava (Sasau) there were tons of tourists that came there because of Kingdom Come. I love that this game makes people learn about history of my country.

The english archeyr law is technically still a law in England, it's also technically still legal to shoot a Scotsman with a bow if he is within the walls of Oxford or some shit like that.

Get these guys back for more KCD, there's so much left to show them. Thankyou though for listening and getting them to react to this marvelous game!

[MrGhostToast]

Can we get HEMA instructors reacting to For Honor?

[fernandosilva]

"If you were a peasant and you were caught hunting the king's deer, what would be a serious offence" - And we all thought that we had a bug in Kingdom Come when we kill animals in the forest and they appear as "stolen item" in the inventory, we literally commited a crime by killing the king's deer.

[GooseVenger]

Anyone else agree that kingdom come was underrated?

[roopeheikkinen]

enemies(usually common bandits or peasants) can actually yield to you if you just do some move that requires at least some advanced sword training, because they realize that they are probably outmatched.

[patwilson]

The guys who did the games studied manuals and consulted with people like HEMA. There was a really strong effort to get as much realism into the fun as they could.

[redmantra]

No wonder they are the same guys who created the Mafia series. One underrated masterpiece after another, if only Warhorse Studios got the attention it deserved. they're talented as hell.

[jayferrand]

Former German fencing student here. I was impressed with both Kingdom Come. For Honor kind of got some things right, but Kingdom Come is the most accurate I've seen in a game.

This has been by far my favourite episode of experts inspecting games.
