I had fun for the 10 hours I played it, but it isn't worth $60.

[wangbadan]

feel like it's going to be the exact same thing over and over with no variation

[FitnessJake]

How many hours did you actually play?

About 3

is it open world ? or like uncharted

Nope. Not that kind of game brah

Yea I hope not, but if my other two friends that played with me get it on release day, than I probably will too.

[CheekyRasta]

watched a bit of it, seems like a medieval melee reskin of Rainbow Six Siege

[eltwentyone]

1v1 and 2v2 is fun, after that its absolute chit because it resorts to roaming and gettin ganked. The gameplay does not not translate on 1 against multiple enemies.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Isn't the game a max 4v4 arena combat game? Why would you ever "roam" and get ganked unless you're a chit teammate.

[CanadianSpartan]

Because you have more than 1 objective you have to constantly keep locked down, and even if no players leave their starting base, NPCs can cap them. Aka, you have to split up to have a chance at keeping more than 1 objective all game.

Do you play mount&blade online, or chivalry?
If so how would you compare the two?

I see you dissuading people from this game in the other thread as well. I'm a big fan of m&b warband, and the online at least looks somewhat similar just M&B is more large scale. So just wondering if it's because you aren't interested in this style of games or it's just not that good cause I'm excited for this game.

mount and blade is hands down the best game Ive ever played, i ****n loved the melee system and I cant get my head around why every single other game out there doesnt base theres off that.

Im playing conan right now, and the melee system is dogchit compared to mount and blade.

mount and blade is the most underrated game ever.

This. Waiting for MB Bannerlord instead.

This.

Aren't there micro-transaction in For Honor? That alone kills most games for me.

Agreed brah, can't wait for bannerlord. Was hoping for honor was going to be the game to pay until it comes out, but from the sounds of it I guess not.

I have honestly never played mount and blade, but from the videos I have seen, it looks like it has a lot more depth to it. However, I really enjoy the combat style, and am a backer for Kingdom Come Deliverance. But For Honor is a very shallow/surface level experience that fades out quick. On top of the P2P server connection type that can make 4v4 very aggravating.
It definitely has it's moments, but after having played it in betas going back the last 6 months, I def will not be buying this full price.
Yeah, there is a premium currency for buying chests that give you armor and weapons. You can also get the currency from doing dailies.

Fair enough, thanks for the info good to know.

If you do like that combat style/territory control theme, I highly recommend you grabbing Mount and blade: Warband. On sale you can get it for a few bucks, and the online is still going strong. On top of ridiculous amount of hours in the single player and all the mods.

For that premium currency chest stuff, do the weapons and armours give buffs? Or is it purely cosmetic?

Items do affect your stats, but from when i played the last beta was quite minor stuff.

I really like the premise of the game and the visuals, but I have a feeling it will get repetitive quite quickly and will just feel like a grind for customisation

[Slow50hh]

Will be fun for a month or two and then drop off the radar. Calling it. Ib4 hype train as usual

[dcbone30]

Thanks for the info. If it wasn't clear, I hadn't actually played it, I was just speculating from a few of the videos I watched.

I wasn't terribly interested in the game in the first place. Like others have mentioned, M&B Bannerlod is on my radar for sure. Game is fun as hell and I like the scope of battles with hundreds of players fighting eachother.

[Holyfenix]

Watched some gameplay. Honestly looks like it would get boring after a few hours.

[freeburn]

Skipping this one. The novelty wore off quickly got a bit repetitive during the alpha thing I took part in.

Game looked good and ran very well on PC though.

[Jason265]

if I get it, vikings

[somfking]

Looks pretty neat, but I could definitely see it being either a hit or a miss. Hoping its as fun to play as it looks tho

[Ottobrah]

Ubi****? No thanks. Game looks like trash anyways tbh, hard pass.

[iWantToGrow]

Looks one of those games that are a lot of fun for the first week but get repetitive quickly. We'll see.

Yep. We'll see what the reviews say.

[AndYUKnowThis]

For Honor looks so promising but idk, needs more game modes. This is the type of game I'll play for 2 weeks before I officially know if I wanna buy it or not.

What are some new game modes guys would add? Only thing I can think of would be some type of Operations mode like battlefield.

super large scale battles (im talking 100-150 per side) with last team standing wins, the fact this game has respawns like a call of duty game is downright retarded

[TMaC828]

This.

I was talking about this earlier this week with a buddy... not the 100 per side. I think 20-25 would be okay, but this sounds excellent if executed correctly.

Have a base/castle on each side, and huge field in the middle. With an increasing respawn timer every like 20 deaths. First time to make their way to enemy base wins. Perhaps utilization of the minions... where you can command archers. Idk... this game has massive potential. But the 4v4, 2v2, and 1v1 will get incredibly dull very quick.

[CheekyPhaggot]

you're not very bright are you?
there is an elimination mode 4v4 with no respawns you just haven't played it.

you really think the graphics in this game and consoles could handle 200 player lobbies? never go full retard.
im glad its 4v4, I could see an argument made for 6v6 but the ganking and ganging up I saw in the CB when you played againt a coordinated team was absolutely stupid

[HughBMyron]

can't wait to play this tonight when i get home.

[AD117]

It's made by the same developers who made Rainbow 6, that's why I'm semi hyped.

I was right to give it a chance. Outstanding gameplay. I've been playing all day with a friend. It's possible it gets old after a while, but there are some differences between heroes like RB6 so it's possible they'll expand on that going forward. Maybe even add a new faction of characters sometime.

[CanadianSpartan]

Reading some of the threads before I was getting hesitant on this game. After playing the open beta today, I can now say that this game impresses me. It's beautiful, and been having 0 issues with performance. a constant 60 fps, and fluid response times. It's a beautiful game, and the fighting style is just as good IMO. Such a high skill ceiling, while it is easy to understand. Only issue I will run into with that is that a lot of it is reflexs/reactive.
There is definitely some issues with connections and bugs. But for the 5-6 hours I played, having 2-3 issues isn't too big of a deal as long as it gets looked into/fixed fairly quickly.
Didn't have any issues with the P2P connections today either, not a single host dropped in dominion or elimination. Enjoying the elimination mode a lot. Also love the fact that in some of the modes the item bonuses are removed so the pay2win gets removed in a competitive setting.
The characters also all feel quite unique. Gave a test ride of all 9 they have available. With the different combos and attack speeds they all feel different. Can't wait til it releases now so I can get my bae the Valkyrie.

They said they are following the RB6 method. They laid it out pretty well. Their faction war seasons last 3 months. After every season they will bring out a few new maps and items. They aim to drop 2 new characters each season but if they can't complete em in time they will make sure 1 gets released. There is also 1 class for each faction not available to play right now in the beta. There will be 4 of each when Feb 14th comes along.

[tats27]

I'm definitely impressed with the Open beta. I need to see what the other modes are going to be on launch, though. The 4v4 with minions is fun but I think a larger scale battle would be good, too. Maybe something like Dynasty Warriors - you and 3 friends vs unending hordes of minions and some "generals".

[CanadianSpartan]

Pretty much the ones in the open beta are going to be the modes on launch.
1v1, 2v2, 4v4 elimination, 4v4 skirmish, and 4v4 dominion.
They may come out with more modes in the future. But I wouldn't expect anything large scale.
