Thanks for indulging my curiosity :)

You're welcome. These guys really walked the extra mile in order to deliver both a fun and a realistic experience. And I would be shocked if the reviews wouldn't reflect that. The fighting simulation and the way armors behave is supposedly the most sophisticated ever created in a video game. The same can be said about the ingame forests and so many other aspects of the game. It's very hard for me to describe a monumental game like this in just a few sentences.

If you feel like it, go to Kickstarter and browse through the 60+ updates released over the last 4 years: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1294225970/kingdom-come-deliverance/updates

Also this is just the first installment of a three-part (?) trilogy that's planned. I can't recommend this enough if you're interested in demanding, hardcore RPGs (although I haven't played it yet, even though I've had the opportunity to check out the alpha and subsequent versions).

This release of KC:D on GOG will hopefully turn a few heads in the industry.

I actually planned to back the game when it was on Kickstarter but since there was no confirmed DRM free release for backers I didn't end up doing so (personal policy, I don't buy or back games with DRM).

However I like a challenge in my games (often enjoy "Iron man" modes, had fun with ELEX despite the rough edges, etc) and grew up sword fighting in my spare time (not with live steel, I still have all my fingers lol) so their dedication to create accurate combat while still including RPG elements is appealing as well (I'm hoping it'll be a nice way to sratch a bit of that sword swinging itch without racking up so many bruises).

Usually I don't pre-order games, and since my GOG collection alone is well over a thousand at this point it's infrequent that I buy them near release at all (things like Fig, Kickstarter, and Indiagogo aside).
However considering the size, scope, and type of game this is I made an exception when the GOG release was confirmed (after watching a stack of videos about it just to be sure).

I didn't realize this was the first of three however, that's welcome news, I'll keep an eye out for the other installments, thanks for the heads up :)

Just a stupid question: In this game, can you see your own feet when you look down?
That's a minor detail but, for me, makes the first person perspective much more inmersive.

That depends on how much of a nobleman you are. ;)

Reviews from Kotaku, Polygon, RPS, etc are likely to be biased - Warhorse Studios has clashed with their SJW agenda.

Watch for detailed player reviews instead. Or try TotalBiscuit, ACG, and other YouTubers - actual gamers likely to give a fair evaluation.

can someone tell me if the title to this game is either

Kingdom Come: Deliverance

or

Kingdom Come Deliverance

??? the inconsitency has gotten to me

$60 for a game but they can't handle title consistency? is it like this other places or is it just GOG incompetence?

OR is it called "Kingdom Come_ Deliverance" as it appears in one of the game trailers ;-)

The official title is "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" for sure.

I noticed that as well. I'm wondering who you're supposed to contact to alert them of that error. GOG support?

Heh heh. Come Deliverance.

Judging by this game footage, it would seem so.

Don't pre-order this game! Wait for the reviews.
I tested their latest build and it's poorly optimized.
Not to mention it runs on the dreaded Cryengine (very hard to optimize and code if you don't know the engine in and out)
Plus the combat is clunky as hell. I mean just blocking and hitting where you want to hit is a chore and feels like just luck.
They should have sticked to more like how the sword play works in Warband.

Oh wow! Can't believe it's here on GOG.

The final budget is estimated at around 15 million USD. And that is just for development, without the marketing costs.
Note that it is an estimate. No factual numbers were confirmed by Warhorse.
This is one of the very few games that fully simulates your body and is consistent between perspectives. You can see your legs, when picking up objects your hands will pick them up, when opening doors your hands touch the handles etc.

I'm really interested in this game, but I'll be sitting on my hands for a while until a native Linux version materializes. That is, if one materializes. One reason I swore off Kickstarter and early access games a few years back.
