Finally a skill based combat system that is immersive as fuck stepping it up with new mechanics and a view for the...

This game pretty much tests your reflexes

same poster? you both type like you just had a stroke

Mount and blade has 4 attack directions to For Honor's 3.

mordhau and mirage are both better in every way

look up the gameplay, its literally a major step back from even chivs combat quality

>skill based combat
>ubishit game

choose one

It's "Mount and Blade" mate. Also Bannerlord is just around the corner.

Meant to say "Hope" not "how"

Did anyone actually watch a gameplay?

There's alot of depth to it.
The whole game is to be PvP based, much like tekken.

This

>It's "Mount and Blade" mate
Never disrespect memes around me or my wife's son again.

>Mountain Blade

That would be actually interesting.

i didnt get alpha despite signing up for it the first day it was available, so i don't give a shit until i can buy the full game

I did have a stroke but the game is still shitfjjfnfnrnmsksopgnnttt. ffjif

I havent seen anything about For Honor that makes me say "i want that".

Sell me on it

What the fuck is wrong with you.

This is some skyrim low tier combat system, you really like that nonesense? there's no mechanics to it.

youtube.com/watch?v=m4V_0NPiIMI

You fight men with melee weaponry. That's it. You might like that you might not. It's basically the same as Chivalry and Mount and Blade.

Why can't it look like that I stead of having a colorful as fuck health bar on top of everyone and thus braking immersion.

Did they really not find any other way of implementing a subtle UI other than having bars on heads? Also, is there any way to disable or choose a different UI because that's the only way I'll play this.

Does it have an overmap like Mount and Blade? If its just COD with melee I'm not interested.

>AC1

Hope you aren't talking about Assassins Creed 1 because that game was a massive disappointment and 2 was way better.

Anyone here heard of Mordhau before?
youtube.com/watch?v=p-B4AwgArwA

No dedicated servers and 7 year old netcode.
Fucking dropped.

>got invited to play this weekend
>didn't have time

Sad

When they make a Dark Souls, or a mount and blade game with that combat, call me.

Meanwhile Im not playing multiplayer garbage

>no mechanics

Apparently you have no idea what that word means.

i just watched a video of gameplay and saw a black female viking

immediately closed video
not even gonna pirate

The game was fun when it was a 4 vs 4 and everyone running around

Whenever there was a team that grouped up together, it turned into a shitfest without any actual skill

Hopefully they make bigger maps so that won't be an issue or make the revenge system actually give you a fighting chance when you're up against 2vs 1

Jedi Outcast and Academy have been out for many years.

God I fucking hate 1st person melee combat so much

>ubisoft
doesn't matter how good a game For Honor is, they don't deserve a single cent of your money

Good lord, even Skyrim has more umph when you hit something. 1st person just isn't for this genre.

AC2 had a more interesting main character and cool new fwatures like grenades and line sliding, but AC1 had more interesting bad guys, horse travel between cities, and more interesting setting.

>samurai
>shields

I don't know if there's a campaign or if it's just multiplayer but I can say for certain that there is nothing in it similar to Mount and Blade's overmap-campaign.

To the combat system i mean, and in comparison.

Don't be so literal.

You can freely change the skin color and gender (only half the classes have the gender option) of every character.

>uplay

no thanks

If they make a good game, they will deserve money for it.

But they won't. Watch Dogs and The Division were supposed to be uber games too, and they turned out to be utter garbage. Never trust Ubisoft. They just can't make good games. Those few exceptions just confirm the rule.

That's far too vague. Might as well compare Destiny to Unreal Tournament because you run around shooting shit up; based on that it could still be GOAT or complete ass. How's the combat? What unique mechanics does it bring to the table? Map design?

I thought it was alright

We had like 10 threads every day when the alpha was live.
where the fuck have you been?
>immersive as fuck stepping it up with new mechanics
Chill the fuck out marketer fag
The game is fun but it in no ways have "deep" mechanics
Character traits at most

It's historically accurate. Just not common.

For honor looks like who ever is the defender is going to win because it flashes at you what type of attack and where it's coming from.

>skill
>entire game is a qte

>samurais standing any chance against heavy armored yuropean knights

No thanks but have fun

>only pretending to be retarded

Every game ever made is a qte

>If they make a good game, they will deserve money for it.
i'd argue they've completely obliterated any amount of credibility they once had with the garbage they've released recently to the point where they don't deserve your money even if they make a good game

>Gooks, vikings and knights can mix and match on the different teams

fucking gay to be honest

The maps are like every small multiplayer PvP map in existence (average and generic). The mechanics are dumbed down Mount and Blade mechanics. It isn't a very original or unique game but it does try to make this kind of game more mainstream which I commend it for. It's only big issue is a lack of a good single player campaign.

>under the radar
>literally promoted at every major playstation event

seriously, faggot?

That looks fucking awful

I thought the same thing at first.
When you go against someone who mastered feints, the attacker will easily make you their bitch. You have a delay between each stance transition and they can do the same and cancel attacks into each other, each move with different speeds and properties making parrying a son of a bitch.

The game seems simple at first but goddamn does it get challenging at the later levels.

Oh yeah man, cod and street fighter... such a qte

Idiot

>horse travel between cities

>"Hey, is that guy on a horse?"
>"Yeah."
>"Do people use those to get around?"
>"Yeah"
>"You thinking what I'm thinking?"
>"Yeah."
>"ASSASSIN!"

This looks like garbage.

I played it at Gamescom 1 or 2 years ago.
It was ok, even if no matter how skilled you were the most effective tactic is to gang up on someone.
I scored a last second team-kill catapult shot that won us the game while the devs were shouting, it was pretty good.
Would not buy though.

>waiting for invite
Whatever I don't care anymore, stupid system.

>Both of the players not dodging the unblockables
this pains me

To be honest one of my favorite parts of the game is the one hit kill shit. No matter how op a class is, or how shit you did at the start of the match, comeback potenteil is always there and the dude in the lead always has to keep on his toes.

>skill
watched about an hour of alpha play on Twitch. literally half the kills were them pushing each other off the edge and the other half was 2v2s turning into 2v1s while the remaining team mate chased after

>new mechanics
literally everything we've seen in PVK2, M&B, and Chiv

>immersive
3rd person with a massive graphic overlay on your target when you engage in combat

>view for the future
max of 4v4 game modes. going smaller is for cell phones :p

The thing that seems to make For Honor different is it has hitstun and combos.
Does Mount and Blade have that? Chivalry kind of does but not really

>unblockables
Try to open your eyes and watch the webm again faggot

Maybe, but still, the fun was had. At least by me - I like travelling between places in games, having a break from figjting/questing, watching surroundings etc.

Garbage players make garbage webm

I WATCHED THIS GAME ON TWITCH I NOW UNDERSTAND ALL ITS MECHANICS

I liked AC1 as well. Too repetitive, but at least there were stealth kills. So few of those in the subsequent games.

Mount and Blade does indeed have a stun mechanic. Holding an attack for longer before executing it briefly stuns the enemy leaving them open to attack.

Yes user you cannot block them, only dodge or parry them (like the player did on the third one)
Watch the webm again faggot

No dedicated servers.

It's shit, don't bother.

The hit stun is literally to deny one attack before it connects by cancelling it and most importantly to be cinematic as fuck.
Which is neither immersive nor entertaining. Effectively every attack should trade not get spontaneously parried as a bonus to getting any hit in first penalty free.

If just getting the hit a split second sooner than the enemy and using that moment to force split second block-or-get-hit moments is the entirety of combat it's simplistic. A real tactical melee fight would require players to parry, block and space appropriately, relying on feints or gaps in concentration to land attacks while the opponent is unable to trade.

this

Doesn't matter.
There were no female black vikings. If you meet even one online, your immersion is ruined.
There were very few female warriors in all of history and they'd all have significant disadvantages in melee combat against males.
In addition, it speaks to a lack of character in teh developers of this game and they don't deserve your money or any success for this kind of shameful pandering.

It's going to have dedicated servers though. Peer to peer was only for the alpha

>that guy that got banned form the alpah because he meet a ubi employee and had a swastika emblem
I bet the the ubi guy was just buttmad he lost

Because it matters in a game where samurai's katanas are slicing knight's helms in while vikings are chucking executioners into spike walls, right?

Fictional universe.

Why would I play a shitter version of mountainblade when I could instead play mountainblade?

can't you tell how sex works from a porno? seriously it's not like they're inventing a new fucking genre here

btw is case in point about how ridiculous the ledges are in this game.

does the combat have absolutely no depth in this game? cause thats what it looks like in this video

I don't think you know what an "unblockable" is
also the guy that lost did in fact try to dodge it but failed because he was against the wall

please seek help

ITT: Salty faggots that didnt get to test the demo

The majority enjoyed the game...just stop being such faggotrons kek

In AC2 there was one mission I will never forget. You had to kill a monk on a tower surrounded by other towers. Killing guards from sattelite towers and walking on ropes from one tower to another was dope as fuck.

The game itself states it's an "unblockable" attack along with the samurai's overhead swing you massive twat

Samurais, katanas, knights, helms, vikings, executioners, spikes on walls.....these are all real things.
Strong black womyn who are vikings are fiction.
You might as well argue that it's ok to have Goku and Spiderman in the game.

>I don't think you know what an "unblockable" is

But the guy you're responding to is right. You can't block them, but you can dodge or parry.

Loved that one. It may have been part of a larger mission where you needed to kill 3-4 well guarded people who were spread out. No bullshit, just Hitman style assassinations.

Because it's 10 times better than mountainblade.
You fucking dweeb,

This desu senpai

>Posting the vid that make Oro look good
I can play that game too
youtube.com/watch?v=lrXwHpvdt30

>Orochi get's a free hit for a parry
>Raider has a stun move that can be used infinitely
>Nail Bomb can OHKO
>Blocking response time not as fast as it needs to be
It needs some polish, but it is an alpha. Had a lot of fun.

Combat was depthless and barely requires basic eye hand coordination. KYS faggots that think this is a good vidya.

salty no, just extremely skeptical cause its gonna be a $60 "AAA" title from Ubisoft and it looks as deep as a prolapsed anus

>Also Bannerlord is just around the corner.

First game I thought of when they announced this was blade symphony. I wish that was popular and that people would actually play multiplayer in it but everyone just wants to 1v1 all day.
Now that's a game with the absolute best sword play of all time

That's a good one user. Now pull the other one.

Is that confirmed?

I'll probably buy it if it does.

>Raider has a stun move that can be used infinitely
The stunning tap?
That shit is useless is you just block high
Not like the Kenshi that can do it from a gaurd break without being near a wall
In fact i find it funny that Kenshi is nothing origial, he just does a little of have everyone else can do

It's basically a mash up of all the cool eras into a fighting game.
I think it's actualy a cool set-up.

sooo, where's the overworld, army building, open-field battles, sieges, and genuine conquest? oh wait, its just rotating maps like COD

The majority also enjoyed The Division. I remember when I read the review in a games magazine, listing all this shit that sucked in the game and still giving it a 9... Jesus Christ

Sorry you can't enjoy videogames without it being "HISTORICALLY ACCURATE". I'm going to enjoy this without being an autistic fag over it. :^)

From what I watched it's just gonna be people abusing overpowered mechanics. I mean the guy I watched would just charge in and then spam the shield break. If that didn't work he'd just try to throw them off an edge. Won like 90% of the fights.

It si a cool idea, too bad they were too chickenshit to stick to that idea and included black female vikings to pander to people who will probably complain about it anyway.
I can't enjoy video games that don't have internal consistency. If you enjoy stupid shit good for you.
If you don't mind the fact that this was an action done to pander to racists and sexists, good for you.
Personally, I'll give it a miss for moral reasons alone.

>I mean the guy I watched would just charge in and then spam the shield break. If that didn't work he'd just try to throw them off an edge. Won like 90% of the fights.
That's just scrubs, user
You can easily parry back guard breaks and throws by pressing the guard break button yourself
They also can't throw you if you're in the middle of an attack animation, letting you get in very damaging strong attacks if you predict them

Nice bullshot OP. The actual game has dogshit graphics.

>p2p

no ty

It's funny how a corporation known for treating it's customers like shit and fucking them over all the time uses the word "Honor" in the title of their game.

you should checkout PVK2. well-supported source mod with Pirates, Vikings, Knights, 4 direction attacking/blocking, counter attacks, not to mention special attacks you can power up (360 greatword swing, berserker speed/dam, and powder keg, to name a few)

its realtively old now, but they're still releasing substantial updates - classes, maps, the works.

They do have shields until development of Yumi/2 handed weapons/ sufficient armor/ gunpowder rendered shield completely useless as a personal weapon in their field of battles. In later periods, they were battlefield emplacements and barricades as the thickness needed for them to stop Yumi/ Flintlock musket made them too god damn heavy to wield.

Still a shitty fictional setting. Should have given the Samurai flintlock muskets if they wanted to go full autism.

>female knight

no thanks

>Bait

so its like a casual version of soul calibur?

hmm it looks tasty as fuck.
Of course it drawn inspiration from dark souls.

Any of you guys played Crossed Swords for the NeoGeo/Arcade? It had an interesting system of sword and shield fight.

>ubisoft
Big nope flag

havent played the game, but i think this would look a lot better without the button prompts
are they really necessary for the combat system to work?

>another realistic melee medieval combat game where the first person that attacks loses
Will anyone get it right? They all have this problem.

so this is just a fighting game for people who find smash too complicated?

this user tells the true

>smash
>fighting game

I really wanna play this shit but was not invited to the alpha despite signing up when it was announced at E3

sorry i obviously meant """""fighting""""" game

You're just as bad as the SJWs their trying to appeal to. Who actually cares at all about the colour of a characters skin in a video game? It's sad.

dont worry, its only alpha. im sure they'll be hard at work until it announces DLC in February

>smash
>complicated

I do, if it's a part of we wuz kangz propaganda. In that case, it is

>realistic
This game is in absolutely no way realistic.

It's nothing like Soul Calibre.

Then why not have a zulu warrior character?
Why throw in a black female viking. It's laughable and we all know why they did it, because they're cowards.
They were too scared to put black warriors in the game for fear of appearing racist. Then they realized they had no blacks or females (SHOCK) so they threw some in with the fucking vikings......are you kidding me?

I mean, i guess they could make a hardcore mode with no prompts but then the faster classes like Berserker and Orochi would never stop hitting buttons because their lights are retadedly fast.
Also the heavy mix ups where even if you block them they still lead into another move would be hard to read

But other then that i think it could work

with the exception that games without QTEs don't simply paint a button on the screen and whoever presses it first wins

you have to pay attention to what you can see and hear and feel (an incoming sword, a thrown grenade, hearing footsteps coming up behind you, etc) and act accordingly given that information while also doing it as quickly as possible in many cases

Thats what the distinction is

>skill based
>immersive

>the first person that attacks loses

This really is only true if fighting an assassin class, and even then you aren't entirely fucked.

Speaking from experience, most people in the alpha tended to be one-trick ponies. They'd rely on a combo to try to alpha strike you before you could react, or try to environmental you. All it takes is a brain and half decent reflexes to fuck up the majority of players.

It's obviously not historicaly realistic.

The combat system is what it's about.

that is a shame

I do

I´m tired of liberal downplaying white men so that blacks and women can feel good about themselves

black people and women have their own stories to tell. let them instead of acting like they are identical to white men

That sounds like a legitimate DLC.

>first person that attacks loses
I have played both chivalry and this and i can tell you right now if you get shit stomped in any of these games because "he landed a hit frist" you are garbage and should try to go play some fighting games

looks exactly like chivalry

Not really, the raider could smash your face in 20 times with the steel pommel of his weapon and you'll be fine.

It's not that realistic since you can obviously take more hits than you would in a realistic scenario. There's also abilities that buff defense/attack, heal health, etc

The combat is not realistic either. Not in the slightest.
I'm not saying this as a criticism of the game mind you because arcade gameplay can still be fun.

Mordhau is Chivalry with a deeper combat system.

This gameplay still looks absolutely retarded but I haven't had the chance to play it yet so maybe it's fine.

So Mount & Blade?

on the flipside, didnt Last Samurai catch shit for being racist/appropriation for having Tom Cruise in the lead? isnt this ethnic inaccuracy to improve marketing the exact same thing?

You have a good point there user.

if you never played Chivalry or like War of the Roses and you jumped into this game the combat would seem pretty great, but if you have the combat is pretty lack luster, in my opinion anyway.

You SJWs are so fucking dumb. Hate the game for being the pile of shit it probably is, not stupid shit like black females.

lol shill

m&b and chivalry are easily superior, was in alpha and this shiz is trash

I didn't think much of it either, at least i can tell you it gets better when you know what every character can do.

I had fun

looks worse than dark souls pvp

Ive never played Mount & Blade so I dont know. If in M&B weapons clash and what not yeah, its more of an arcade style M&B.

War of the Roses had best combat until the devs tweaked balance every which way and ended up fucking up everything. Chivalry's was okay, and M&B's is passable because you should be playing that game on a large scale.

No. Mount and Blade actually has a game in it and not just good fighting mechanics on a PvP map rotation.

he had the high ground

Combat in the video looks boring as fuck. Damn.

>souls pvp
>bad
You are one of those shitters that couldn't handle havels armor in DaS1 right?

Yep, and it was stupid when they did it too although at least they have a legitimate reason to cast Tom Cruise as Tom Cruise is basically free money for any movie.
Whereas who wanted female vikings....fucking no one. What the fuck were they thinking.
It's more like I'm using a design decision the devs made, probably forced by a publisher desu to infer that the game is a corporate suckfest. So I'm doing what you're asking, ironically enough.

funny. for the duration i played at launch, it was a 2H + heavy armor cheesefest interrupted by shoddy hit-and-run cavalry

and vikings and knights never fought samurai. what's your fucking point?

>oh no a woman in fiction REEEEEE

Cred Forumsblr makes me sick.

thanks

the thing that I hate most about all the current sjw/liberal propaganda in video games is that it lead to the exact opposite of what they promised. more diverse stories. instead of playing games about a mother during ww1 trying to protect her children in wartorn Poland or a game about African tribesmen hunting lions we just got more of the same generic fantasy rpgs /scifi shooters stuff only this time with "strong wyman" and black dudes

I think they are to some extent just using it all as an excuse to be lazy

I would agree with you on the whole pandering thing if they pulled a Watch Dogs 2 and forced out of place ethnic groups. But they aren't really forcing it; in all of the promotion material, in-game cinematics, and campaign missions that have been shown, the only consistent out of place thing has been the female Warden, and that's less of a stretch than black female vikings.

As it stands, it's an option for people who want to play as Afro Samurai, the Vikangs, or Sir Tyrone III, and most in the alpha didn't bother with it. It it silly and unnecessary? Sure. Are they shoving it down people's throats? Not really. But we'll see how they market the game closer to release.

I played Chiv for like 800 hours, WotR and M&B to death. If you played those games, I feel like it actually makes For Honor seem like total garbage (I played the Alpha and was not impressed by any aspect of the game.) The combat system feels like a crippled regression compared to all three.

>Combat in the video looks boring as fuck. Damn.
its not THAT BAD, its just not that great, if youre playing it instead of watching a video youll be interested in the game for a bit, but it doesn't have the constant action feel of say Chivalry, because its a 4v4 small arena game.

im just saying this new game looks less fun than this 5 year old game

It seems simple at first with basic blocking and attack like the guy's beginner level webms in this thread, but the shit gets intense when you start learning and mastering all the intricacies like feinting, parrying, dashing, what characters have abilities such as dash attacks, just guards, total guarding, unblockable shoulder bashes, throws, etc.

I didn't like it in the first few hours but after awhile everything began to click and I was fucking slaughtering everything with mind games that barely anyone else knew how to perform (keep in mind I had played the previous alpha prior to this one, however)

Yeah I understand completely, when you do well in all those games you feel good and its fun, For Honor is just so empty feeling.

Again, vikings, knights, and samurai are all real. The game is obviously trying to appeal to those who want to see realistic medieval combat. Obviously some concessions can be made to make things cooler.
Samurais just randomly being there with vikings? Ok.
I don't slowly bleed to death while laying on the ground for 10 minutes real time because I mistimed a parry? Duh it's a video game.
Random strong black womyn who's inexplicably a viking? Only a very intellectually lazy person or a brainwashed sjw would be ok with this.

I hate the UI, it ruins everything

>It seems simple at first with basic blocking and attack like the guy's beginner level
none of that other shit matters though, since you can see every attack coming from a mile away and the game holds your hand and lets you know where the attack is coming from.

>chivalry already did this
>mount and blade already did this
>i haven't played the game

>having fun
get out

Agreed. That's another major portion of it.

Read: It's beginners play. The swing detection eventually becomes small time as you realize what moves are the quickest, hardest hitting, etc. Feints kick that hand-holding in the balls and make it a liability.

>they don't have follow reality as long as it doesn't clash with my racism/sexism. if they do that I'll go to my blog I mean Cred Forums to complain.
Cred Forumsblr logic makes me sick.

you can change the skin color of any character

Anybody got that vid of a warden throwing 3 people of the ledge?

Your post really boils down to
>Unrealistic things I hate is unacceptable
>Unrealistic things I don't mind can go about its business

Maybe I think it's "intellectually lazy" for them to pit samurai and vikings against each other instead of something more historically accurate. But oh no, them SJWs.

On a tangential note, I don't think I've seen all these SJW propaganda nonsense when the alpha was still open. I guess everyone's too busy begging for a pass.

>Only a very intellectually lazy person or a brainwashed sjw would be ok with this.
or someone who just doesn't give a shit and just wants to play a game
this thing is not realistic in the slightest, the big bad evil's faction leader is a female if you need another trigger

ledges are probably the dumbest thing about this game.

hey guess what bud

i don't care

i'm having fun

Actually you're putting words in my mouth.
I mentioned Zulus earlier. I'd be equally turned off by a white female zulu warrior. No one thinks you're racist, you can stop feeling so guilty all the time.
Yes, it's optional, I know. That's not the point. The point is it's in the game. What if Popeye the Sailorman was an optional character? It'd kind of spoil the idea of a semi-realistic medieval combat action game.

sorry im playing dark souls for the first time and i cant help it

Autism the post

Can I play as Afro Samurai? This is important.

>What if Popeye the Sailorman was an optional character?

I would play the fuck out of Popeye thats what would happen.

FOR HONOR BTFO

For Honor is much more active, basically a fighting game. There's also no autoblock option :^)

>inb4 what are shields
what are guard breaks and unblockables

You fight men and women.
As a man or a woman.

AC 1's protag was more interesting. Altair went from an arrogant but well meaning asshole to a wise and down to earth professional as he was humbled and edified philosophically by his experiences. AC 2's protag was just an italian playboy with a revenge motive.He wasnt bad by any means just not as good.

yeah urright it is semi realistic

i like when their weapons are engulfed in flames for a special unblockable move

are you implying any of the examples given thus far have autoblock?

>not caring about what I care about makes you intellectually lazy

Not understanding that other people have different perspectives/place value in different things is a hallmark of Autism Spectrum disorders. You're on the right board, son.

You don't have to play online brah

>I'd be equally turned off by a white female zulu warrior.
>I'd can sternly say that this theoretical situation that doesn't apply to this game would show you I'm not racist. Also nice white guilt
God dammit Cred Forumsblr logic is astounding.

I T ' S F I C T I ON Y O U D I P it has no obligation to be realistic or in your case "take liberties with reality until it makes me uncomfortable."

>It's basically the same as Chivalry and Mount and Blade.

The only people who say this are the ones who didn't play the alpha. For Honor has a lot more of a "fighting game" feel to it then any of the other m&b inspired games. There's 12 different chars with different combos and different abilities and stats. There's a lot more to learn right off the bat compared to those other games.

This thread in a nutshell:

>consoles get a "realistic" medieval warfare game
>studio adds fictional racial diversity to better fit the console demographic
>PC yawns because there's been entire series which have done this stuff from day 1
>consolefags try to evangelize their hype

>complaining about a fantasy game not being historically accurate

Do you guys think the story mode will be worth playing?
I like the multiplayer and all but i don't think i can speend 60$ on just that.
The only reason i have a little faith is because it's made by the people that made red steel 2
youtube.com/watch?v=6WzhdaVj8N4

>How the actual fuck is this going under the radar?

That's a design decision clearly meant to identify unblockable moves for players.
It's not quite the level of retarded pandering and black female vikings.
Except that's how it's marketed. Remember people jizzing their pants when they saw someone use the pommel as a blunt weapon? Yeah that's the people they mislead.
If they wanted to make a silly arcade game, that's fine. That's not what they advertised.

>samurai's vs vikings vs knights
ok
>black people and women as a customization option
REEEEEEE FUCKING DROPPED
i want pol to leave

and we want you to gb2 Ubisoft to pick up your late check

Main Orochi and be a black man.

This, it's more like a fighting game focused on fun rather than historical accuracy and realism.

>this would look a lot better without the button prompts
puled about this (i.e., a toggle-able option for the HUD clutter and crutch icons) at the official forum ad didn't get much of a response...

so, the game is likely touting itself as "hardcore", to drag in a broader audience, but will likely fundamentally pander to nintoddlers

THIS JUST MAKES ME WANT TO PLAY BUTTERLORD 2.

When the fuck are they going to be done?

reminder that attacking is dangerous

>The only reason i have a little faith is because it's made by the people that made red steel 2

Oh fuck really?

Definitely playing the story then, enjoyed RD2 quite a bit.

Had some good ass music too

youtube.com/watch?v=3loi7XB0jtM&list=PLXSaJ1VYkIYvmaQF0CDEkY2Wy00TBUl2f&index=18

Other way around, that user is saying that the first attacker loses, probably because it's easy to parry their shit.

Is this game restricted to Uplay? I ain't touching this shit if it is.

>cliffs
>no penalty for running away
>parries are overpowered

>looks worse than dark souls pvp
i don't think that's physically possible outside of the realm of the autists that actually enjoy said spaz fests

The difference is that QTEs remove control from the player or requires input out of context

My fellow Zerk nigga

The only reason people complain about Orochi and not Zerk is because no one plays the latter.

m8 I love berserker but orochi has a confirmable whiff punish into 50%

This honestly, I mean look at this shit.

cover system = block mechanic
spud shooter weapons = attacks in general
gnasher = ledges

>Gears of Hack n' Slash

Are there other weapon types that the characters will have?

Because a knight on foot without a Pollaxe is pretty fucking stupid

It's not really a true 50% when the overhead after the dash slash can be blocked
but mixups are retarded on Orochi anyway

oh would you look at that? he threw him off a ledge! except instead of his enemy dying instantly from the fall, he got one-shotted by a drop attack just as easily!

you've opened my eyes!

>dumbed down mountain blade
>the game with toggleable autoblock
>only one kind of attack
>hurr but it haz horses

meanwhile
>no autoblock
>deflects
>parries
>dodging
>light and heavy attacks
>guard breaks
>feints
>attack chains
>unblockables that have to be parried or dodged
>basically a fighting game
>12 classes each with their own moves and capabilities (assassins can't interupt attacks with their blocks or deflect (i forgot which), shield can interrupt heavy attacks for example)

but hurr durr it has three attack/defense directions instead of four

>Every move is telegraphed by red highlighted side of the stance triangle

Can I disable this on the UI option right?

The overhead can't be blocked, it's guaranteed

And throwing people into walls with Berzerker guarantees a free heavy overhead for a third of their health in a single strike, and an instant kill if near spikes or a ledge.

Seriously, Zerk's throws are absolutely insane, and I'm surprised at the overall lack of complaints.

Oh you're right.
More reason to hate Orochi

>people unironically playing shitkings

That aside why is butterlord and for honor shit posting like witcherfags do?

Looking forward to both games.

The only issue with the heavy overhead is that I think it leaves you at negative frame advantage on hit, I usually opted for a side heavy for the mixup potential afterwards

Only on heavy attacks.
I know it because I mostly played Orochi in the alpha and often got blocked

Why aren't the knights using the correct weapon?

Yeah but it isn't fun.

Why is veigar allowed to exist

fuck event horizon, 3 seconds of zoning and a 2.5s stun on a 11 second base cd. so fucking broken

Lawbringer.

After the side backdash slash, is what we're talking about.

Lawbringer's class uses that

Because it's not a realistic medieval Warfare game it's a fantasy fighting game.

wait for lawbringer its the closest you gonna get

Wow, it's weird.
You're shitting on mountainblade but you obviously never played it. It has feints, dodging, parries, and multiple attacks.
Furthermore, the picture you chose actually has legitimate reasons not to want to play the game in it and also contradicts you.
I mean you say "It's ok to have sjws cuck the game with black female vikings, it's not supposed to be realistic" while comparing it to mountainblade which is more or less realistic as far as vidya goes.

I've found that pressuring people into walls makes them panic, regardless of skill level. Usually I'd just wait for them to do one of three things:

>If they attempt to attack, deflect and repeat throw into overhead
>If they attempt to guard break, counter it with another break or punish with an attack, sometimes into the infinite chain
>If they attempt to roll/dodge away, side-dodge light attack and harass them

Once you've backed them into a corner, they're usually fucked, regardless of who they're playing.

>Ubisoft

No thanks. Can't wait for some retarded SJW bullshit

I love how pol indoctrinates these people with such basic responses to criticism
>supporting something makes you a shill
>being even a little tolerant or even indifferent makes you a sjw
>disagreeing politically makes you a dirty lib
>having an opinion makes you a cuck
Damn dude, Cred Forums is straight up worse than tumblr, at least tumblr's shitposting is unique.

plauge this board often. They often derail threads into arguments about political correctness.

>ubisoft

No thanks.

>attacks people who criticize the game's design choices
>man why are these racist misogynists attacking me
Nice try zir.
>disagreeing with me and criticizing the game is derailing the thread!
>agreeing with me is a fair point and I'll agree with your attacks on posters which has nothing to do with the game

Oh no greentext! I've been foiled!

Literally no servers have autoblock on, its just for single player cause you get swarmed by a horde of 50 men

Back to the safespace you go. Take the brownpill while you're at it.

>>

Who's calling his viking Askeladd?

Yeah but it's made by UBISOFT so i'm not interested at all

Can we take a moment to talk about best weapon?
>inb4 inferior gaijin steel

>Skill based
>It literally highlights the direction and button you have to press

What did the ubisoft marketer mean by this?

Viral psyoperator detected.

Is this game only available on Origin for PC players?

I never said you were attacking me, I'm just pointing out how the points you make against this game are both retarded and to be expected from a Cred Forums shitposter.
Good job trying to twist my words to make me fit into your easily attackable strawman you fucking trog. Please go back to your safe space so I can try to forget there are people as autistic as you allowed on the internet.

This is not an ad hominem attack according to shills and is a legitimate criticism of a person's stance.
Which is laughable.

In what universe is this going under the radar?
There have been a billion daily thread (90% of the post being key begging) in the last few days

Ubisoft and MP only as far as I know. More than anything it lost me at viking versus samurai. Retarded fanfic shit.

The post it's replying to literally says he immediately closed the video after seeing a black female viking, and also has a shitty meme. I mean it's pretty accurate.

Holy shit man please kill yourself

>MP only

There is a single player campaign, for what it's worth.

It's a Ubishit game, of course it's gonna have a super cluttered hud and an obnoxious tutorial pausing every 5 seconds treating you like a retard.

Goddamn you sound like a huge autismal faggot and I'm glad I don't know you

Yes.

Don't expect it to glorify violence though. If you want Berserk then don't read it

Swords are objectively superior unless you are poor.

He doesn't want to play a game with black female vikings. It's not sexism or racism necessarily since there's a lot of people interested in history who see this as a poor design decision.
So no, it's not accurate, fuck this game and fuck game developers who sacrifice immersion for feminists who will never play or buy their game.

>berserk
>glorify violence

That's objectively wrong

i dont want to start making excuses for gay shit, but i'm pretty sure the reason there is black vikings, samurai, etc, is because the game takes place in an alternate reality where vikings, knights and samurai have been fighting for fucking ages, thanks to some unnamed generic sounding omnipresent female voice that is supposed to represent war or something. makes sense that they'd be hiring any mofo possible.

i think that's what the intro cutscene was trying to tell me anyway

What the fuck are you talking about? Vinland Saga glorifies violence all the way up to Farmer Slave saga.

>So no, it's not accurate, fuck this game and fuck game developers who sacrifice immersion for feminists who will never play or buy their game.

>character customization is now pandering to feminists

why not make knight fucking white, samurai fucking asian and viking fucking black then. at least there will be consistency.

the lawbringer's axe face is far too large to work against armor, the entire point of the pollaxe

Things that need to be tweaked
>how easy it is to abuse throwing aka no throw distance increasing shit and change level design a bit so there are less ledges
>being able to parry EVERYTHING
>run away bullshit
>long match timers

Straight up removed
>Revenge

I swear to god that a week or two after launch, 50% of space on maps won't be used in Duel and Brawl because no one wants to go near anything they can insta-die from like ledges or chained into fire. Maybe redo the maps for only those modes and reduce the ledges in them.

>Vinland Saga glorifies violence all the way up to Farmer Slave saga.
Not at all, in fact that's the prologue and it basically tells you
>Kids, you shouldn't be edgy like Thorfinn

The entire prologue is basically mocking Thorfinn's character, showing him as a stupid retard

Feints I know about that, but dodging and parrying?
I only played Warband, might be why.

because, as i literally just said in my post, For Honor's setting takes place an alt reality where vikings, samurai and knights have been fighting an infinite war for a very long period of time. in such a situation, it makes sense that each faction would be recruiting each and every person available, regardless of race or gender, so they have more cannon fodder to throw out. I'm not even remotely implying this is canon, infact it seems like a pretty retarded explanation, but at least it's something

There's not much you can do with an axe but hack, plus wooden hilt can break, whilst you can stab and slash with a blade and hit with a guard, also it's easier to use as a defense weapon. The only advantage i can think of is it can destroy wooden parts of a shield more effectively than a sword.

If seeing one thing out of place like that triggers you so hard that you're not going to buy a game that you might otherwise enjoy please consider picking up a different hobby. Stop shitting up a board about videogames with your autism tier bitching about customization options. Black people exist, black females exist. Some people like to self insert into games, if you give comprehensive character customization you will be able to make a black person. Stop acting like a twelve year old that is being forced to share his favorite toy.

Parrying in mountain blade is difficult but if you tiem your attack right your attack will cancel the other person's attack and hit them. I never got good at it but I'm pretty sure the idea is to hit them with the same attack they tried to hit you with an instant after.
As for dodging, it's all in the footwork son.

Okay niggers any of you guys know if this shit is good?
Im not asking for much, i just want to seem the brits get fucked in the ass

it's shit

Reading comprehension you dimwitted twit

It's okay if you have nothing better to do. And it gets boring later on.

>history channel
Figurs.
I just want another Spartacus serise to watch with my bro.
No homo

If anything you're acting like a 12 year old who's mad that I think your favorite toy is garbage because the creative decisions and thereby the game were compromised by publishers concerned about the feelings of leftist crybabies.

>legitimate reasons
such as?

also, they're both fantasy games, so of course both of them aren't realistic.

>remove revenge
i'm not sure about that, that would make any 1v2 or more situation almost impossible to survive, which would just lead to more irritating situations where you have 3 guys running after one guy who is a mere slap away from death. at least revenge gives incentive to stay and fight.

although the rate and circumstances at which it's built need to be changed. I had a situation once in a 2v2 where a guy i was about to murder was pushed back slightly by my Raider teammate who was fireman carrying his opponent into a wall. This mere tap by my teammate was apparently enough to allow my opponent to use revenge, even though my teammate had done a maximum of 5% of his health with his little accidental shove, allowing my opponent to finish us both off with revenge.

Yeah, but that was bullshit - Tom Cruise plays an American in the movie who slowly and gradually learns of the ways of the Samurai. For a western audience it's the perfect way to approach it because not everyone who will see the movie will know much about the way these warriors fought and lived. Nothing racist about it - Seems like it could even be entirely historically accurate, as the Samurai are basically going extinct before Tom Cruise the American even shows up.

1 was cool at the time. only really seemed shit to me when i went back to it after 2. 2 was best. rest is either monotonous overkill or broken trash

You don't only build it from that, it builds with blocking too. So you could turtle with blocks and parries and build revenge without even going to a 1v2 situation.

So with being able to parry everything, and block the rest, you kinda promote a turtle meta of first person to attack loses.

>Remove revenge
fuck no, revenge sounded like a shitty system at first but after playing the game it's proven to be a great addition. Remove it and group combat becomes an impossibility to win, with your only option left being to stall.

revenge builds from any blocks, even in 1v1, so he already had a decent revenge charge building even before your team mate joined.

I'm exaggerating, I love M&B but someone saying For Honor is a dumbed down version of it proves the person knows nothing bout it and only judged the game from a few pics or something.

>installing uplay ever

lol

There are many models for the weapons (blade, hilt and guard for most), not just one. Pretty sure there's one that's realistic.

Although if you're looking for autistical/historical accuracy then this not going to be your cup of tea.

Ohh right sorry. Yeah that shouldn't be chainable. I felt bad doing it.

>qte combat
lmao

Fair enough.

what did he mean by this?

Nobody's gonna fucking play as a black female raider. Don't complain about skin colors in character creators.

I just want a game where a knight, on foot, uses a pollaxe like they are goddamn supposed to.

...

no one cares you autist

see

Probably not the perfect game for you then.

this looks much better and more in-depth than

I'm hoping there's faction wars in the game, too. The whole premise of the campaign is Knights vs Samurai vs Viking, something a shitload of people have wanted for a long time. They can't not have faction wars in multiplayer.

well I mean, it was an alpha, you can't really expect them to limit how people play with each other, you simply won't get enough play time out of it to get enough feedback.

but it's also ubisoft, so...

Waiting for a demo so i can actually play and confirm if its shit or just looks like shit because of shitty youtube players

>slash at body
>cuts both arms but chest is fine

Seems pretty good other than that. Not sure about the kicking though.

One is a third person fighting/action game, the other is a first person medieval combat simulator.
Just take your pick.

>first person medieval combat simulator.
they said in one of their things that they're not going for absolute realism, I'd say that takes it out of "simulator"

>two people swing at each other
>instead of trading hits their weapons actually clash if they come in contact
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH

There were like 4 boxes on your profile that stated "This mode not available yet" and at minimum space for 2 more match-type recounts on your profile as well, more if it scrolls.

I would bet there is a faction war, my problem is I think it might be limited to 4-man premade parties.

black sails man

I want to know what plague thinks of this game

It's pretty impressive but it just crumbles when it's on Dominion.

Seriously there's no good way to take on 2 good players against 1 player. I always found the best strategy was to just run until you could find help.

PVK2 was better before the 2.3 update.

I used to play the fuck out of 2.2 before it went to steam works.

>Afro Samurai, the Vikangs, or Sir Tyrone III

>Vikings
>Black

?????

Havent seen anyone else post tomba. Nice

Until air canceling became popular and the devs rolled with it instead of removing giant dudes in armor literally bunny hopping and focusing on the sword play
Now it's dead hehexd

> ripped from souls combat
> skill based

Game would be way better without the guard/attack ui
I should have to look at my opponents weapon and arms to see where he'll attack me from
Instead the game just holds my hand with flashing prompts

You haven't played a single souls game and seen anything about this alpha I see.

Aside from the one parry both these people are playing like total ass.

Rework the domination and breaking system.

A few more game modes such as 3v3 or 6v6 will be nice.

It needs larger maps to avoid too much gang banging.

There is a whole next level to that when you realize that you can feint a failed parry. So if you are really quick and they bait your parry you can cancel it and possibly still counter whatever comes next. I don't have those kinds of reflexes but I'm sure someone does.

Thrust me you need those against zerks and orochos. Although I'd also love a 'hardcore mode' kind of thing.

Sex is nothing like how it is in a porno

Literally any video you see on the internet will be for the most part different from how you try it in real life

>I wasn't good at the game
>game sucks
Don't feed the Orochi attacks, that attack did piss damage, and all other classes get a free light after a parry and a heavy after a light parry.

The Raider stun tap was easy to predict, give them any range they go for it, and most hack raider players tried to follow it up with an overhead heavy. It just removes the HUD, if you have any skill you can still block the followup.

The nail bomb can't OHKO, I've never seen that happen not even when someone put it at the top of a ladder and my dumb ass dropped 6 meters onto my back.

Blocking response is as fast as you are. Git gud.

i did played souls game and seen a video of the game

explain me how i wrong

Maybe you should think some more before posting stupid comments huh?

Knowing how assmad Cred Forums gets about it makes playing as a female berserker 100% better. I should have made her black to level up the pain.

The ubishill is strong in this one.
Balant lies, as allways.

Also, playing games in 3rd person and then demand realism or immersion.

>mfw I'll probably play a tan female viking because __gf_______ turned me on to robust and active brown women

Played as a tan Fem-zerker, no regrets. Brown skinned hardbodies are the best.

>Female berserk
>Male valkyrie
Fuck Ubisoft for their stupidity and fuck you for supporting them.

any one else just kinda hope they would make their own original donut steel characters instead of just trying to half ass copy actual samurais and knights?

That's it stay mad Cred Forums nevermind that you can't play as a male Valkyrie.

>skill based
Thats why, casul normies dont like shit like that, they only enjoy instant gratification and low skill ceilings.
Also
>Ubisoft
Understandable distrust.

Looks like a dude to me but then again:
>Western developers

I think the combat could looks decent if only they remove those retardet arrows and healt bars.
From the gameplays i see that animators make a good job showing actual position and attack direction (not for all of them but takt can be fixed), so why the hell they added such a mess on the screen?

>skill based

hahahhahahhahahahahhahah

What is Furi ?
Amirite?

>Theres people on Cred Forums right now that chose filthy barbarians over the great Knights at service of our glorious king

So is the game actually good? I want to like it and it looks good and is fun to watch but how does it handle? I already have Ni-Oh, Persona 5, South Park and Horizon to play in February so I just don't know if I can justify getting it day one unless its actually a solid game.

This. I wish there was a 1v1 mode that disabled it.

>Furi and For Honor releasing in the same year

God damn, this is a good year for games with excellent combat. So goddamn sick of Arkham-style combat. Even Witcher 3's combat (which admittedly is better than Arkham's) made me rage at how shallow and mediocre it was.

Both Furi and For Honor have outstanding combat, caveat being that For Honor definitely needs to balance its classes and equipment.

Alright anons, pick 2 (TWO) factions you'd want in an expansion/patch/DLC

My picks:

>Aztecs
>Mughals

>why does this barbarian female warrior look manly
I'm sorry did you want a stick with balloon tits in a two piece?

Greco-Romans
Egyptians

Cred Forums and Ubishit aside, it's a decent but simple game. The gameplay kind of reminds me of fighting games, where at its core there's an emphasis on mixups and reads combined with the unique strategies and abilities of each character.
Depending on how much support the game gets and how meaty the rest of the game is with all the single and co-op stuff, I'd put in a good $30-45 or so for it.
Also, smashing in weeb-samurai and neckbeard-viking skulls in with a flail is great.

I fucking hated the Alpha I don't know where all this love is coming from. It was so boring and shallow as all hell.

>Rainbow Six Siege worked fine on release
It most certainly did not

Modern Ubi made Rayman Origins, Rayman Legends, and Rainbow Six Siege. Looking forward to Steep and For Honor.

>dying from a fall that small

Unless they have RNG neckbreaking mechanics, how?

This is the board that hypes Dark Souls PvP when it has less complexity than any other PvP based game, just ignore this place

pic related has a better skill based combat system, is much more immersive and has open world, strategic gameplay planned for the future so btfo of For Honor in that regard too.

Don't bother to try and prove me wrong because you can't.

youtu.be/E4ZciC5JfSs

Seems to me like the game has shit spammers that mob up against one player, throw any skill and them and they drop like flies to the above average. Then there are the monsters who parry everything in sight and feint feints. I enjoyed the alpha enough that if I only ever get to be above average I'd be happy. Putting down multiple people when they try to swarm you is very satisfying.

...

The reason why people panic is cause the camera gets fucked when pushed in to a wall making it harder for them to see

>putting the temple of Uppsala on a mountain
>having the vikings fighting people with burgonets

Don't forget they had a degenerate opiate orgy party

Is it really on fucking History channel?! Christ TV just doesn't give a shit anymore.

does it have cheat detection? If not the final game will be full of cheaters since they do not worry about those on consoles
