80% ... what? 80% good? 80% discount?
- Uploaded? Completed?
  From the article:
  Kingdom Come: Deliverance is 80% off until Thursday April 25 so expect to pay $5.99 / £5.29 before then, the Royal Edition is also 80% off and $7.99 / £6.99 if you want to spend a little bit more as well.
  
  Yes, the webpage and the article make it clear- I was intending to poke fun at the missing word in the post title 😁
- 80 per cent
I remember playing the first one when it was just available for early access and the gameplay was understandably rough. I played a little bit and then forgotten about until last year when there were some buzz about it again. I brushed off the dust and got to experience such an immersive medieval world. 10/10 in my book
- The world is indeed immersive, the dialogue and the depth of the characters and the story not so much
  
  Hey I understand where you're coming from. I also believe that's one of the areas the sequel can improve upon. With a bigger team and budget, hopefully we'll get that
- You're not wrong!
KCD2 was announced last week, a sequel to the game that was partly Kickstarted and released in 2018.
I've finally gotten around to playing through the first game over the past couple of months, coincidentally. It's got a fair amount of jank—noticeable poor voice acting and character animation especially. But the game is still very fun with some quite interesting unique touches, like the save system using an in-game resource to prevent save scumming (save & close always available though), and the directional combat system with combos leading into real historically-inspired sword fighting techniques.
I really wanted to get into this game, but had such a hard time grasping the combat.
- In my experience once you get a long sword just walk backwards while spamming the perfect parry button until everyone around you dies
- Though they're a little different, the trick is to have played enough Mount and Blade that you'd never tell anyone how much you've played Mount and Blade.
  By that I don't mean mythical skills honed in combat. I mean cheese. Eventually the combat does click, though.
- Once I reached the part where I could use the practice field with whats-his-name, I just grinded that for like 90 minutes until the combat made sense to my fingers
- I understand the sub we are in and that this is a great game. But half of the games articles I see nowadays are what appears to be low quality commissioned articles for games on sale and also often AI written. I can see why someone would downvote that.
- also non-pc term nowadays, we prefer "the middleages"
  Who is we? I don't prefer saying 'middle ages'.
- The first medieval RPG of the series, as in the original KC:D.
