Preview PC Gaming Show at E3 2016: Tyranny Gameplay Reveal Trailer

[Endlösung]

Nigger please, who claims that.

 

[Anthony Davis]

SO SICK.

I'm super stoked for Bannerlord.

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

Inform me bro. AFAICT all the basic mechanics seem the same. The way melee works, the horsemanship, the shooting, the weapon selection, etc.

Here are some features:

Maybe the picture wasn't working for you?
It's a hand sign for "it's-a okay-a-dokay!" which means there's nothing wrong. Mount & Blade was great. All it needs is some more politics, babes, and better sieges.

 

[mutonizer]

Alright, it's official then...
Tyranny gameplay reveal trailer is the best 2016 hype trailer for M&B Bannerlord.

Glad some good came out of it at least!

Oh, I thought it was like "OK YOU FUKN IDIOT."

I played M&B a completely absurd amount in the mid 2000s and I discovered I was still sick of it when I tried to play some Warband in the last couple of years.

I'd kinda like to see more changes going into the corest of core gameplay stuff like adding more ways to attack/parry/whatever, to give you more scope to get more skillful with the horsemanship and melee. Mild game-fresheners like some crafting system or whatever ain't enough to soften up my "I played this game down to its component atoms" boredom.

 

[Crescent Hawk]

Well the setting at least sounds different in Tranny. But I expect Obsidian

I suggest you watch the gameplay clips for as many loops as it takes for you to stop claiming this is not generic fantasy.

I know right?

But I can also understand Endlosung comment, fantasy is so tame these days with its boring Witcher, GOT dirty looks. Tranny does looks a bit stylized, those minimalist symbols and slightly apocalyptic look. I think it looks okay.

 

[Excidium II]

Witcher looks gerat.

 

[Infinitron]

Excidium seems to be using "generic fantasy" as a synonym for "game looks boring to me". It's a Bronze Age, non-medieval-based fantasy setting and therefore automatically non-generic.

 

[Excidium II]

It's bronze age in the sense that they said it so. I've never seen something so far away from evoking the look and feel of it. It looks generic and the fact Cloud's Sword of Fire +3 is made of bronze doesn't matter shit.

I guess PoE 2 will be a Renaissance/Age of Discovery RPG, so many original settings holy fuk.

Lolwut?
It generic as shit, Evil Lord conquered blahblahlah.
Setting mean nothing when story looks so shitty generic.

 

[Roguey]

What?

The South Park team decided to crash the Project Eternity Kickstarter's livestream party a little bit too long, and Feargus yelled at 'em to get back to work.

So That Which Sleeps would have been as generic as HoMM5, okay.

 

[Darkzone]

To be honest the last centuries of the bronze age were quite exciting. There were events like the see people destroying nearly all remaining bronz empires, the fall of the Hettites and Minoans, the rise and fall of the Mycenae and the rising of the new iron age states like David's Isreal.
What is a bit strange to me, is the use of the name of Kyros for the main villain, all Kings with the name Kyros were pretty decent Kings and good leaders.
Despite the shitty effects and SJW propaganda i will definitely try this thing out.

 

[Fenix]

Yep, it's just indicate that someone, I don't mean you (for now) has narrowed his understanding of generic-ness (?) to elves, dwarfs, orcs ams such elements.
However generic-ness is hidden not in setting, but in banal shit boring story, which is what 100% of stories about Evil Lords truly are.

 

[Infinitron]

If you don't want to see fantasy tropes, don't play fantasy games. It's not enough to make it generic, though.

 

[Delterius]

Setting mean nothing when story looks so shitty generic.

Being the high executor of the victorious Evil Lord isn't very generic.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Can't imagine it being any worse than PoE. At least they aren't trying to make everything generic.

FOR CENTURIES CAIROS THE OVERLORD HAS CONQUERED THE KNOWN WORLD

Fantasy is fucking retarded, all the way.

Thought occurred to me right now that AoD's setting clashes with the power armor and magixs and buddha statues of doom.

Fantasy setting where evil Overlord actually conquered everything (or anything at all) are quite rare. There's Midnight setting and Mistborn but not much else. Darksun maybe also fits. A big step-up from "Jolly band of adventurers stops evil maniac and his evil minions from doing something unspeakably evil". Of course there is a slight chance that the player will be forced to see the light and join some kind of good like in a fucking jRPG but for now I hope it won't happen.

FF6. Just saying.

 

[Mozg]

I think most of the "generic" complaints are 'cause the art looks real cheap and boring. If they had a great artist cranking out fascinating looking designs it would set off imaginations (at least if the "lore" teaser bits weren't so distracting due to all the Lord Darktoothe Grimblade stuff that invites eyerolling).

 

[Excidium II]

It would still look p. damn generic.

 

[Morality Games]

Still, something tells me this will be better received than PoE.

I think it'll be lovely if it isn't better received, as numerous Codexers finally face the fact that it's not some mysterious "Sawyerism" that turned them off of PoE, but the simple fact that it featured more active ability use than the Infinity Engine games did. Cooldowns, baby, cooldowns.

Although, maybe with just four party members they'll be able to handle that better.

Sawyer is now in charge of setting game design imperatives for the whole studio, so your notion that that would change our opinion of Sawyer is rather naive at best.

Told you. Anti-Sawyerism has developed into a religion. There's always an explanation.

I remember reading some Wilbur smith books, his Egypt ones where there was some fantastic battle scenes where one tribe is coming in contact with people with iron weapons and getting absolutely dominated. Imagine how demoralizing it would have been to block a sword only to have yours break...
I agree that that sort of "arms race" maybe set off against larger armies vs. better armed but smaller ones, would be an interesting setting.

I remember that post, but I didn't know about the livestream. Is there a video? And did MCA really say that?

 

[Excidium II]

I don't think there's a video. I really wish I could see again how awkward Sawyer was during the whole thing, looked like me on christmas/new years.

Though I guess you guys are talking about the party party, not the end of campaign stream?

Inform me bro. AFAICT all the basic mechanics seem the same. The way melee works, the horsemanship, the shooting, the weapon selection, etc.

As stated already by other fellow codexers, combat has never been M&B's problem. On the contrary, it's extremely good, it manages to be fairly realistic and fun at the same time.

M&B's weakness was the generic quests and lack of politics in the game. It had very few and repetitive quests and not much to do in the world besides recruiting soldiers, spending points in skills for you and your companions, killing everything that moves and conquering all castles/towns. They're fixing it in this new game, hence why everyone is excited about it. And to be honest, combat is so good that the game is worth playing for that alone.
