Thank you for sitting through that accent. Head to Patreon.com/noclip if you fancy watching the outtakes.
Huge fan of the docs and this game in particular. I wish you would have touched on moderation in the game as well. Chivalry has one of the most toxic communities I've seen and there's either no or abhorrently slow moderation to the in-game chat.
What’re you talking about?! I upvoted it soon as I heard that accent..
That accent was painful 🤣
Jolly good, old bean! Jolly good!
The people demand more accent!
This was great. Really enjoyed it.
That intro was incredible
You must be the new recruit. Classic :-)
Love those players who treat missing limbs as just a flesh wound.
Same
I'll be even better, apparently. In the latest patch, you can now headbutt if you've lost both arms and it'll keep you alive if you land hits.
Me earlier. May have lost an arm, still killed 9 people before went down. If going down I'm taking them with me!
Are you telling me... There are more ways to treat missing limbs?? HERESY.
Danny it's okay if you want to use your knight-voice in all future docs.
Two documentaries in a span of 1 week! So glad to see my notifications popping up this much with a new Noclip video!
We're trying our best over here! Thanks for subbing!
26:28 im laughing so hard at that battlecry voice "MY ARM, WHERE'S MY ARM!'
I'm very much enjoying how Danny says, "Chivalry".
Chivalry's Definition: “In short, that's what chivalry is - a choice. The choice to do the right things, for the right reasons, at the right times.........With huge fucking swords."
Goodness, the screaming is so infectious even just watching it, and the description of things like making mistakes and the anticipation of death are spot on.
I remember when the first mod came out on Steam, that was around the same time that Garry's Mod 2007 hit Steam before Gmod 10 did. Such good times even back then!
Such a fun documentary, thank you so much!
I just love this game so much, the amount of detail, love and expert design in every mechanic. Its perfection. And Its only going to get better!
chiv 2 is just chiv 1 but worse
@@moiseman Wow, you took time out of your precious life to type that useless comment XD are you ok buddy? Who hurt you?
@@AlexMcLarrysLife Ironic
@@moiseman Still here thinking you have an opinion XD, go floss your teeth XD
@@AlexMcLarrysLife Jesus, are you 12 or something?
I’m still praying for a 343i NoClip documentary about Halo Infinite
Us too
@@NoclipDocs Hopefully after the game releases it’ll give them some free time and the ability for you guys to collaborate. The people need it
There it is dude! So glad to see another wonderful piece from you guys.
Swordplay is a huge issue right now in Sea of Thieves, I'd love to hear Rare's take on the issues with swordplay design.
I think it'd be super neat if other developing houses were able to throw tons of money at the team behind Chivalry to develop their swordplay. Imagine not just Sea of Thieves with Chivalry's system slotted in, but also TES: 6!
The problem with SoT swordplay: doesn't matter if you button mash or time your swings, you get the same animations regardless. I understand it though. They don't want 1 man to kill 4 people so easily (though doable).
The accent made this video XD
Danny is having so much fun. I love it.
Played Chiv 1 back when it came out a bunch and loved it. Picked up Chiv 2 on sale over Xmas 2023 and absolutely loving it. So much depth and fun.
I just might have to get Chiv 2 now too. I absolutely loved Chiv 1 back in the day. Hilarious and fun
Danny having the time of his life with this accent, please bring it back even if it isn't at all relevant lmao.
I've loved all your doc's, but this is the best one so far! Keep up the great work!
I got this game a few days ago. It is truly one of the best gaming experiences I have ever had. I say that as a guy in his 30s who has been playing games since I was a very little, as my dad has always been a PC gamer. I legitimately CANNOT urge you enough to pick this game up.
Thanks for this and all the other great documentaries this team has produced!
The more Chiv 2 content in this world the better, This is fantastic!
im surprised there was no mention of the mount & blade series, as they came out at the same time (first game came out year after the half life mod, second game came out in 2010) and though it was a bit buggy and janky, i would say it was just as innovative as chivalry, mordhau and kingdom come
I would love to see you guys do a series on DCS. It would be interesting to see how they go about making a realistic sim, and how it differs to a more traditional game, plus I wonder what they think about getting new players up to speed because it's pretty daunting at first. Anyway always nice to see an episode by you guys, keep up the great work!
No shade to Chivalry 2, Sir Danny of House Noclip was the absolute star of this one 😂
I already loved Chivalry 2 but this made me appreciate it even more. Cheers!
The presentation of this one was excellent. Loved that you had fun with it
So glad TB never lost the fun and humor with the VO lines etc over the years. Chiv2 feels like the best of their older games in a modern package.
Edit: Feel some GoW coming.... Hope Cliff found some time for it!
Another excellent documentary. Thank u
Another great documentary. So glad Chivalry II was covered. Thank you Noclip, I love you.
13:23 50Shades0Gandalf had me rolling
Great doc! Love chivalry and can't wait to see how they evolve this game.
I love the commitment!
This was your best documentary yet!
I had like 500hrs into the first Chilvary. This video def got me to buy the second one and jump back into it.
Thanks Danny Attenborough for the excellent hosting this episode. Impressive production values!!!
I'm all for Danny cosplaying!
if your covering Mount & Blade eventually I am SO READY!
17:14 There's a dude picking up a wheel and throwing it at the enemy team, I can't stop laughing hahaha
Respect that Danny is willing to cosplay as THE GREAT ENEMY© for the bit.
The opening bit was humorous. Well done old bean.
People that down vote are a mystery to me - thanks for this Danny!
Didn't know about Chivalry 2 at all. Bought it after watching this doc
Dude! Did Xmas come early this year!?! 2 Noclip video game docs in less than a month!?! HOLY MOLY!! ❤️
What fantastic captions! You should double the pay of the very talented person who did the captions! They deserve it.
Great doc! Nice seeing Steve! Oh man these guys have come such a long way! I was part of the beta team when they were just a half-life 2 mod. Fun days!
Knight Danny voice is the best thing ever
My current favourite game featured. Awesome!
Oh nice, always fun to hear that. We try not to just cover the most popular games all the time as interesting design discussions can come from everywhere. But it's always nice to hear we hit somebodies favorite.
@@NoclipDocs thank you. You've already hit many, many favorites through the years. And now just finished watching this. Another of many clips I loved watching.
Well done this video is awesome
23:29 The reason I stopped playing Chiv 2 was because of Auto-Team balance when im on the winning team and high or top of the scoreboard. And the hacks that have not been addressed where an entire match can be lost if someone exploits a whole where they can hide the final boss character, or go to the beginning of the map outside of the spawn zone of everyone else runing the entire game MULTIPLE times.
When you get auto-balanced, nothing is preventing you from simply changing back to your original team. The running outside of the map exploit has been fixed.
The whole bugs...yes...that devenitly existed
looks great!
excellent vid!
I can’t say why but Danny nailed the Perfect knight/swordsman voice!
Its crazy how many game developers started/were inspired by Half Life. It really shows how evolutionary that series was
Super funny intro. Loved it!
Enjoyed this a lot. All so the accent cracked me up.
Great stuff Danny and crew. Love ya still using The Point style of wearing crappy costumes xP I haven't played any Chivalry games but they seem like a blast. Thanks again mate o/
I haven't played it since release. DUnno why. I absolutely love it. Gallancourt looks amazing. I'll have to hop back on it soon!
Even though this is a documentary, this has some teachings in them. It's not fully in-depth like Game Makers Toolkit but deep enough to make you think and make you understand how things work and how the developers came up with ideas and solutions to proplems, problems that are not really problems but they had to identify that if every sound has the same weight to it it's a problem because you can't distinguish between it. It might not be realistic but for a game that's something really important. I love how they paid attention how to convey meaning only through sound, really clever.
And the name "Danny of Dwyer" is fun :D
You killed me :( 11:28
Lmao
noooo y'all killed the streamer XD
this doc is the best advertisement for this game, I already can't wait to go buy it
If you like swords and screaming like a crazy person get this game lol
Yet another great piece
I hope y’all do one on The Cycle. The game has had such an insane evolution in terms of design and now, with its latest iteration, it exploded in popularity. Plus their communication is top notch. A breath of fresh air (so far at least). Uncovering the thoughts behind the evolution, and its development would be extremely interesting see.
shouts out to Frank for recording some gameplay, was cool to see your username in the footie. keep it up!
The sound design of this game is so great on ps5 3d headphones it's unbelievable
I have almost 500 hours in this game. It is so fun. I don't think people understand how creative you can get in fights. Please keep up the great work!
still wish they woulda added the butcher/cannibal class I suggested in alpha: physically weaker maa variation with only limbs and butcher knives as weps, severed head as throwable, special lets you consume a limb to gain small amount of health back or "cook" one to make med bag like other classes. Woulda played similar to the backline vanguard class but always thought that one needed some variation in incentive (class and special pushes towards throwing knife play and wanted one that pushed towards backlining specifically)
Another noclip doc another banger !
I like how narrator wields the Witch-king of Angmar sword.
Frank Howley recieves an arrow at 18:09
Honestly, forgot that Chivalry 2 is technically out and thought this was a preview.
Please do a documentary on returnal! Seeing their Journey from doing smaller Indie arcade games to doing a masterpiece like returnal would be fantastic
Reminded me of that Neal Stephenson game, "Clang". Wonder if there's an interesting story there.
Game devs: Realistic combat systems!
Me, watching the self-driving siege engines: ...
There were some half decent (partly) melee combat mods for HL1/2 I enjoyed. The Battlegrounds and Pirates, Vikings & Knights come to mind.
Devs seems like cool people. Might try this game, looks fun.
Pls do, I never have had so much stupid fun. Just don't get too competitive because then you might lose the fun which makes the game harder to play
I wasn't a big fan of the first standalone Chivalry game. I played it a bit, but I was one of the people just getting crushed. Chivalry 2 definitely brought down that barrier to entry and I love it. I've been playing it constantly since launch. It's one of my favorite games of the year.
This video is so accurate!
Danny, did you actually try and deliver those lines seriously and give up? You were clearly having too much fun 😂😂
Games: "Man! Swords are freakin' IMPOSSIBLE to properly implement in games!"
VR Games: "What's so hard about it? Just specify which areas of the sword model do damage, then set the location, rotation and orientation of the sword based on the position of the controllers in 3D space! Easy!"
I think you just sold me on a $40 game. Thank you, NoClip for this investigation :)
I feel like, when it comes to designing swordfighting, the Mount & Blade series has done a far better job. It moves from first to third person (with first person being an option, but generally considered to be restrictive), and really shines with a simple yet extremely effective and deep combat system. While the games themselves are spotty (the first two games in the series are rather janky, and the most recent version, Bannerlord, has a terrible multiplayer design), its combat system allows for in depth duels, large scale fights, and good mounted combat. Certainly worth a look, I think.
Try PVK II. Only a handful of players, but it's a free HL mod. Basically the same combat system as M&B, with the addition of 'perfect parries' and 'chip damage' (on charged attacks). Definitely my top 3 MP game, not just melee combat one.
Chiv 2 also have fp or tp. Both have its own advantage and disadvantage
The best part about this was seeing all the usernames XD
ButtBourbon, 50Shades0Gandalf, LILBALLS, spread_urlegs4me... absolutely iconic
I just wish they would bring back the 'come hither' voice line. i still view that as such a great loss.
Possibly the most fun I've ever had in an FPS gratitude sirs!!! 😎😎😎
Great documentary! I'd love one with Mordhau for comparison, it would be cool to hear the differences in terms of designs!
The voice acting is amazing in this game
I love thisss
Damn. I wanna play this now.
I wanna see one on the combat of the Vermintide games.
Kingdom Come would be so awesome to have a doc on :D
BIG CHUNGUS, boi I'm excited
I love this game so much.
You should do a bannerlord documentary. It would be amazing to see what happened inside that crazy, perfectionist game factory that is taleworlds.
Would love for you guys to cover Fatshark :3
Very cool intro, never loose the accent
It sucks I still have to wait until June 2022 to play this on Steam, but it is what it is. By then there will be more content (hopefully anyways) than at launch and I would assume it will have cross play with EGS (and maybe the console versions?)
They just released a second patch already and its only been like 4 months. The patches are pretty quick and filled with stuff
Good it's in a trash staye
God, 1:53 was just such a beautiful train wreck, or whatever the good version of a train wreck is I couldn't hold my laughter by the third addendum.
one of the most fun multiplayer games this year !
I love this game. It's rare that a game comes around with a combination of satisfying gameplay, gorgeous maps, and just plain fun. Sweatlords can dissect the mechanics and the class/weapon balance all day but there are tons of games which have come close to perfection in those areas but still lack that fun factor.
6:01 well they did a good job, I had a lot of fun in this game
