I don't know how you guys could get past the clunky ass combat system in KCD. The combat just feels so bad. The game itself seems nice, the world seems really well made and the systems in place (other than combat) seem nice. But damn it just kept making me not want to play when fighting.

The combat takes some getting used to thats for sure. But it is a very well done and robust combat system. You just need to level it up to make it more enjoyable.

The combat is actually one of the strongest points of the game, in my opinion.

It's a new system, so it takes adjusting, but it's about as tactical a sword-fighting combat system as we've ever seen, and works pretty damn well in first-person to boot (not an easy feat).

It also leverages the RPG aspect heavily; Henry starts off barely able to defend himself against a single skilled attacker, but once you learn combinations and master strikes (essentially ripostes) and gain some additional stamina, you become a deadly warrior yourself.  And all of those gains come from merely engaging in the activity of fighting (which can be done safely via sparring with trainers).

Okay thanks for the responses.

Based on that I'll have to give it another shot. I kinda wrote the game off after the first couple of encounters, it just felt really bad to me, but if it gets better as you get more skilled than I will have to get that far. 

The food system also felt a bit odd. If you eat too much you get too full, and if you eat too little you are too hungry, is there an easy way to manage it?

I have a feeling we might see Kingdom Come 2 really soon ^^

Played a lot of it on ps4... I'm waiting a full "Goty" or "Collectors" edition with all updates and DLCs to come out for PC and I'll play the hell of it all again. Absolutely love the game.

That's on my wish list, there are other DLC's not yet on PC? I do hate that, so now going to have to wait even if I there's a good discount.

There are perks that help manage the overeating debuffs.  Generally, you should be able to avoid long debuffs, though you may sometimes endure a short term debuffs because the most opportune time for you to eat is a little bit earlier than you'd like.

The first few encounters are intentional in that you're not going to come away unscathed.  My advice would be to start with a sword and shield, because you don't have to worry about directional blocking with a shield, and one-handed weapons still do substantial damage.  Also: aim for areas with lighter armor on your opponent.  Armor makes a huge difference in the amount of damage you deal, and it's all positional armor- there's no "overall damage reduction" calculated by the total amount of armor your opponents (or you) are wearing.  You can sometimes literally one-shot an opponent with plate everywhere but their head if you stab/bash them in the face!  Watch your stamina bar closely, but string together attacks if different types and directions when possible- enemies will start to counter repeated attacks from the same direction.

Utilize the sparring ring with the guard captain as soon as you can, as he'll show you a lot and help you get into fighting shape without fear of dying.  Hope this helps

Yeah totally agreed. I appreciated the very believable dialogues & deep character development. But combat was very clunky.

There was a game called "Die by the Sword" back in the day. The combat in KCD reminds me of it but I remember Die by the Swords combat feeling far superior.

Could just be rose colored glasses on my part
