For Honor

[Markman]

The fighting system is solid. Also classes have different timings, range, speed etc. So viking Raider with a big axe plays alot more differently than a viking Beserker with his two small axes. Whole moveset is different.
90 euros for a gold edition is hefty, even with 20% off with uPlay points brings it to 72 euros still feels expensive. Not a day 1 purchase unless there's a sub 50euro option from GMG or other outlets.

But the game is 4 player, correct? Does having all that AI get in the way?

 

[Ludo Lense]

I was skeptical at first since it looked like a more complicated version of Simon Says but after watching some streams of people playing I am sold. Movement and fakeouts are essential to properly fight.

PS4 Pro... 4k Gameplay

Yeah riiiiiiiiight lol

 

[sovijus]

This I don't get... So you have fairly complicated fighting system, nice visuals and what you do with it? A shitty 4v4 MOBA. This is a regression of Mount&Blade: no sandbox mode for simulation purposes, no big battlefields with as many players as possible. After initial novelty of teenage fantasy ("wow viking vs knight vs samurai - so cool") wears off it will go down the Chivalry road to eventual obscurity. So much potential, such a lack of ambition. Depressing...

 

[sullynathan]

Combat system here looks better than Mount & Blades. With those graphics, I don't know if they could manage mount and Blade player count in an open world

Looks fun for what it is, too bad it's jewbisoft.

 

[Melcar]

So this is the video game version of Deadliest Warrior?

Does the guy with the katana wins every time?

Does the guy with the katana wins every time?

No, but he does deflect direct blows from swords and axes with his katana.

The way it works is I can only invite from my uPlay friends list. So add me on uPlay, username "dallaboo" and you'll get the email with info when I invite you.

 

[Cadmus]

I thanks, I didn't know about uPlay. Count me out then!

 

[Markman]

Sent one to Dexter. You should got an email now. Also you can preload the game which is always nice. 20gb.

 

[sullynathan]

would join since I will soon have time but I have no clue how to get into my Uplay account now because of the shitty authenticator thing. They're asking for my personal info but I have no clue what the actual shit I put in was.

 

[Markman]

Aaah fuck, it starts at 3PM CET and I gotta be at work then. Will get to it tomorrow then.

Shit singleplayer confirmed.

 

[Dexter]

I have a few invites for the Beta via uPlay (26th-29th) if anyone wants. I liked the game when I tried it last time around, but likely won't have much time to play this time around.

 

[Destroid]

AAA version of PVK with Samurai instead of PIrates?

 

[Cyberarmy]

Tried a bit, as most Ubi games production values are top notch. But if you played Chivalry or War of the Roses a lot like me, this game will bore you pretty quick.
So I'll be waiting for a %60-70 sale.

I feel the exact opposite, Chivalry had far too much obscure shit required for mechanical mastery. The whole dragging and crouching backwards to abuse hitboxes was dumb as hell.

For Honor feels much more organic thus you are learning the systems properly not how to exploit them.
