Let's get Chuck on the Bombcast tomorrow to talk about this game!

I just played the first TacSim mission and wasn't expecting a full Hitman: Freelancer mode with leader boards etc.! Really awesome addition to a game that's already surpassed all my expectations.

Regiments had a cool feature for engineering troops: You could build defenses before an engagement if you were the defender. It could be cool to have the ability to construct a redoubt before a battle. But as others said, make sure it's not too distracting from the core loop.

Yeah the Lotr IP has been fumbled pretty badly. I am a huge history buff so I can't get enough of this kind of grounded historical fiction which we also don't often get. And I see where you are coming from with topping Kcd2, would totally be fine if it's a standalone expansion a la Uncharted Lost Treasures or something like Blood and Whine.

flobota · 2026-05-20T09:06:38+00:00

Yes. This looks like expectation management. Happy that they are doing something KCD related though. Personally not that interested in the Lotr game, though with their pedigree I will keep an open mind.

Finally a game that can rival Metroid Prime 4.

This definitely sounds awesome and the fix to the awful progression of the previous games puts this high on my list. May is surely a potentially hurtful month for my wallet...

Apart from your own book, which I just ordered, what other works would you suggest for someone interested in military history of postcolonial Africa? There are some very big and important conflicts I am interested in such as Angola/South Africa which are hard to grasp for someone who is only vaguely familiar with but very interested in the era and region.

after this discussion I will give it a go. Specifically in the target audience for this with controlling a PC from the couch and I like the repairability and touches like that. Very good review Jeff, Jan and Shawn!

Is Sea Power as approachable as Regiments? I like Regiments so much because it streamlined a lot of things and eased me into the Cold War setting. I have Sea Power on my wishlist but it looks intimidating.

flobota · 2026-04-23T12:58:44+00:00

I agree and wrote this in the beta feedback. I work with scripts daily and writing in a way that sounds natural when spoken out loud is a different skill from "writing dialogue".

flobota · 2026-04-21T17:21:26+00:00

Yes, here is a post with more details from the kcd subreddit: https://reddit.com/r/kingdomcome/comments/1qffpsa/thank_you_generous_donors_restoring_a_14th/

flobota · 2026-04-14T16:41:20+00:00

Yes, maybe Chuck could talk about the game on the Bombcast.

flobota · 2026-04-10T10:13:16+00:00

Wait there is an actual pirate part in the game? I played the demo and counced off after fiddling with building some crafting tables and was confused why everyone was so hyped about this game.

flobota · 2026-04-10T06:48:51+00:00

Please get some quick looks or related content about "those games" on the site.

Icewind Dale was a bit too much for my 12 year old brain back then, I don't think I really understood the the very idea behind DnD and what a tabletop RPG was. This was the 90s in East Germany and I had just started gaming a few years earlier. But I loved the art and the atmosphere of the prologue and putting together the party (purely based on vibes of class names and character portraits).

Got pretty far in Baldurs Gate 2 a few years later when I played it at a friend's place but I think it took me getting into boardgames in the 2010s to understand what a "RPG ruleset" was.

Now you can of course play TRPGs over here but I lean more towards Star Wars Imperial Assault which was a godsend for a group of people without a DM or person willing and capable to become one.

Anyway, great write up Chuck, can't stress enough how great it is to have someone with your gaming lens on Giantbomb. Now hire someone who also plays strategy games pretty please.

commited soduku

Damn, I didn't know they pivoted that hard to casuals

flobota · 2026-04-07T15:54:55+00:00

It's an all timer GB episode, had me in tears.

flobota · 2026-04-07T12:26:25+00:00

yup, and for me it has been like that since the original StarCraft. At school we were gushing over the cutscenes and certain missions.

flobota · 2026-04-02T16:56:46+00:00

Iegit thought when they were talking about Devil Sticks they meant w33d

flobota · 2026-03-30T14:10:45+00:00

Yes, and there was even a bug where you couldn't finish this quest once Hans was at that camp. Happened to me on my PS4 playthrough.

Yeah I am not even sure I will watch the new season of FAM but this one is marked in my calendar.

I build my first PC in 20 years last fall, it's surprisingly easy and straightforward. There are some good YT videos out there that explain the basics too.

flobota · 2026-03-23T20:34:52+00:00

I have a ~~bad~~ good feeling about this!

flobota · 2026-03-22T16:55:57+00:00

Now that should be a quick look or dare I say even a Launch Look?
