Anyone excited for this?
Dark Soul/BloodBorne fans, what are your opinions on For Honor?
>>340071367
I'm excited for this, hoping it's as good as I hope
>>340071367
If you don't play Viking you're a faggot
>>340071367
This is nothing like the soul series, you have a better control of the sword in this gaem, or thats what the tráiler says
Its literally the only thing im looking forward during ubisoft presentation
>>340071367
looks good, knight master race
>ubishit
fuck off
im hyped
It will be fun playingall the factions
It's silly and definitely not my idea of a good game, but if you people enjoy it, I guess it's fine that people enjoy it.
It'll die in a month if theres no race-baiting/shit-stirring.
This is the world we live in.
>Anyone excited for this?
Yes, but I hope its not full price.
I want to be hyped, but not too hyped because I don't want to feel let down.

GET THE FUCK OUT FUCKING MARKETERS
I'm not even kidding. Sometimes people like to cry "shill!" and it's not remotely justified. This isn't one of those times. This is Ubisoft coming here because we're known to be the core website for the Souls community. They're coming here and specifically trying to see what that demographic thinks of their shitty fucking sword deathmatch.
Shame on you Ubi. I was mildly interested in this, but this kind of behavior is pretty fucking annoying. Pollute some other message boards please.

It's probably going to turn into chivalry 2.0 and die within a week or 2

Downgraded but still looks better than most games.
>>340071367
>developed by ubisoft
don't get your hopes up anon
will most likely be severely downgraded, wont be surprised if you have to climb up something tall to reveal the map and give you pointless collectables and tedious side quests.
looks like a dynasty warriors clone attempt, with multiplayer that will probably die off quickI'm still gonna buy it I like sword fighting

Nice try champ. The only idiots are people who can't tell a market research thread from a discussion thread

There's been a few threads here and there. But that's not the point. The point is that this thread is fucking market research. Not advertising. Not discussion. It's research. They're mining us for opinions.
Would you fill out a random pop-up ad survey for Ubi? No? Then why are you condoning this thread?
>>340071484
>not picking knight masterrace.
>>340073104
Despite what the Valvedrones will tell you, yes, Seige is actually pretty good. Had a bad launch and there are definitely balance issues, but it's the best tactical shooter out there right now.

I was being sarcastic because most ubisoft games you climb up something, reveal the map and are given tons of shit side quests and collectables.
still it does look like a dynasty warriors clone atempt, yes it is 4v4 pvp but there are soldiers on the battlefield too, and you cap points, just like dynasty warriors. only difference with this is it is not open world and it is mp focused

>>340073414
Looks boring.
>80% of that video is them just running back to the action after dying
Yeah... super boring.
>>340073667
It's not half-swording. It's a murder-strike or Mordhau. Half-swording is basically using your sword as a spear.
>>340073650
>Why do you care so much if they are?
Because they're polluting my favorite image board with their research. Also, as a Soulsfag, I'm offended that they think I'd be interested in For Honor based on my interest in Souls. They're completely fucking different animals.
>Yelling through the computer isn't going to help at all.
Maybe some of you will notice and avoid feeding Ubisoft their market research info.
>>340073702
I can't find the exact source, but Moot released information about that sort of stuff awhile ago before he retired and I'm pretty sure the site is only growing. Look or ask around, I bet somebody has the real stats.
/v/, /a/ and /b/ are the biggest boards here by a huge margin. They get more traffic than almost all the others combined.
>>340071367
It looked exciting from the trailers but the combat looks VERY rigid
>>340071367

I still don't understand how he flips his sword around to half-sword. It looks like he lifts up his hands at the end, they go out of frame, and then he brings them down and the sword is the other way around.
>>340071367
>this game is somehow similar to dark souls
I want dark souls fans to systematically kill themselves.
Dark souls does not own the Action Rpg genre which this isn't even a fucking part of.
They don't own people fighting with swords.

>>340073962
I knew knew what boards get the most traffic just never know how much traffic the get.

Because it's published by Ubisoft, it makes me wary as fuck.
But god fucking damnit I want this game to come out, and be completely fine with no server issues or whatever garbage Ubisoft does. It's so fucking good looking.

I cannot, for the life of me, think of a reason as to why I would ever want to play this game.
But it'll be a success, because people will buy it. And then they'll show up at my HEMA club, all fat and sweaty, palms spaghetti, and then they'll get tired and leave.
Then they'll show up at the local LARP/SCA/Whatever else and try that out, get their asses kicked, and go away.
And then they'll become self made internet sword experts and I'll have to continue arguing with them on 4chan about the historic accuracy of weapons in video games, tv, and movies.
The only way out is to kill everyone else.

Notice the "late european". Viking age lasted only from 700-1200ish. The platework during 1400-1500 was way superb and there is no way in hell that katana could penetrate that armor.
I'm going to play Samurai because Knight and Viking are full of insecure, contrarian tryhards. Everyone who actually likes video games will be in Samurai.
>>340090079
Because in ONCE Arthur has a twisted mind of what uniting his kingdom means.
He was presented with a way to kill all evil or to rule with his broken ass sword, he chose the later one.

>>340092350
Thats wrong.
There is nothing rock paper scissors about it.
I am >>340091871. You have to anticipate from which direction your opponent is going to hit / have reflexes and position your sword accordingly in order to parry the attack. It is actually tons of fun and difficult as fuck. 2 vs 1 even more so, thats why you always have to stay together in groups and communicate where the enemy is going. The only scripted events are when you got enough kills you can call in artillery strikes etc.

They didn't mention about more betas / alphas
Balance was retarded because combat was designed purely around 1v1 encounters, any 2v1s you had you either had to be an absolute god or play against massive retards to stand a chance, because you can just spam people down with quick attacks they can't block. The devs kept saying you could 2v1 when you get good but they didn't take into account that you can very easily spam people down, they'll likely change the speed of combat to accommodate this or something
Samurai had a stupid throwing star you could spam on a short CD that killed far too fast, one of the other "killstreaks" for Samurai was a Poison that was a death sentence first thing it applied (and could also be applied via throwing stars)
Maps were alright, the one we saw in the original E3 video or something was the Knights vs Knights map, basic three lanes 3 capture points you had to take on each lane, it was far too easy to get momentum and win quickly though

>Although entertaining, Chivalry's combat is shallow
you haven't stepped foot in a competitive scrim or a mercs duel yard for that matter
>>340097337
I've unlocked and mastered every weapon across each game type and arena. As I said it's entertaining, but save for a few gimmicks it lacks depth. A Chivalry 2.0 would be more than welcome.
>>340092620
I don't know what show you're referring to but I'll take your word for it.
>>340096490

Surely, you jest.

Lol whatever you say homeboy
Am I the only one who thinks all 3 playable factions are boring as fuck?
>>340095569
>Chivalry was released in 2012 and it actually has immersive gameplay where sword control feels natural with a high skill ceiling
Yes, it used too until every single update the devs went 1 step foward and 5 steps back
you can only choose one more warriror to be in the game
who do you choose?
>>340100960
Mamluks
>>340100960
Aztecs
>b-but they didn't have metal armor or weapons
The game has Knights fighting samurais and vikings, they can give them metal shit, or they could just balance it so Aztec stuff does like 3x damage on lightly armored opponents because obisdian, but does half damage on heavy opponents.

>it actually has immersive gameplay where sword control feels natural
Anon, I agree with you but maybe the video with the extreme FOV and reverse overheads isn't the best example.
>>340071367
I enjoyed it during the closed alpha. The combat looks a little shallow at first, but when you get your hands on it for an extended period you may find, as I did, that the system is easy to good good at, but offers new paths to mastery.
The direction stick thing is just one aspect of the combat. Each hero also has a range of over special combos or counterattacks that offer something for you to master beyond the basic system.
Anyways I know a lot of people say, "much rock paper scissors durh", but I found it deeper than that and approaching a fight with a competent player thinking it will be a 1/3 guessing game will get you slaughtered.
I also see people complain about the locking on to battle, but I see that as an improvement over games like Chiv or Mount where your character floats around strafing while sweeping wildly or spinning while staring at the ground.
I'll be looking forward to playing at E3 and the devs claim they want to so a beta so if after both of those it still looks good then I'll get hyped, for now as with any Ubisoft title I must maintain tempered cautious optimism.
The laughability of Samurai or Vikings having a chance in hell of dealing with someone in plate armor aside, I think it'll be fine, not great.
Supposedly it has a lot of trouble if you get into 2v1s, as the system isn't meant to handle it. So in multiplayer there's probably going to be a lot of 2v1s, or "honor dueling" etiquette.
If this lives up to half my expectations I will redirect my hours of gameplay from rocket league into For Honor.
>>340074214
Actual half swording is meant to bring the pommel down on someone wearing plate armor, since you can't cut through it. The impact is similar to bringing a mace down on someone. It resonates through the armor and can cause severe bleeding, tissue damage and in rare cases broken bones.
I guess since it's a video game they decided to focus on the blade, even though that doesn't really make any sense, as you'd be getting even less leverage and striking power than you would if you swung normally.
>>340103235
>quick play
>honor dueling
Naw, ohana.
>>340071887
>The game won't even look close to that.
No fucking duh. That's a CG trailer not gameplay.
>>340103465
It's also used as a way to pry your way into armor gaps isn't it?
Is there even a release date yet? Supposedly it's been playable for like two years now. But they won't say a thing about it.
>>340103903
Nope. They did the alpha about a year ago and still want to do a Beta.
I'm assuming it will be outshined by similar titles at this Year's E3 like Absolver and Bannerlord and no one will give a shit about FH.
>>340103818
Usually if you're going for seams on someone in full plate, you'd get them on the ground first and then use a mercy blade, or actually half sword to puncture through the seam with your main hand, like you were using a tuck/estoc. You wouldn't try to lodge your pommel or quillions into someone's armor as they're attacking you though.
>>340073209
Who cares.
>I don't want developers figuring out what myself and the community wants to see in games
I know /v/ is full of a bunch of meme tards who don't actually enjoy playing vidya, but take it down a notch. I doubt it is a Ubi rep and even if it was who cares?
>>340076285
I think that is just Ubisofts method. Division did the same thing...went to shit but the going dark bit is likely just how they approach marketing. Release a trailer loooooong before launch then ignore it and check back in 1-3 times a year.

People are so fucking easy. Just a few key words and the posts rain in.
all I know is that that cane guy at last E3 was awesome, one of the only good things to come from Ubi's presentation
>>340106308
well, its not like Ubisoft has been doing a good job hyping this game up
there's hardly been anything new revealed since E3 2015
hopefully E3 2016 re-ignites the hype so people don't have to resort to bait threads
>>340071367
I want to be excited, the trailers and footage from last e3 look brilliant.
But this is Ubishit.
It will absolutely be downgraded trash.
>>340106540
He did seem genuinely passionate about his game, I respect that.
I'm interested, but I'm not heavy into MP games. That said, MP gameplay does look unusually interesting for me. Does it have SP? I might even buy it if it passes the pirate test.
>>340108816
It will have SP, but we haven't seen anything of it yet. I'm in the same boat, not usually into MP, but this looks fun.
Mordhau when?
>>340071367
As a huge Soulsborne pvp fag this is one of the games that I'm definitely looking forward to. Might end up scratching my competitive itch. Additionally I can't get enough of medieval settings.
>>340074237
However Dark Souls is the king of all those categories. This is an undisputed fact my Nigerian friend.
It'll be chivalry but dumbed down for consoles.
No thanks. I rather wait for Bannerlord.
>>340111672
As if spin to win could possibly be dumbed down.
>>340111898
I'm excited for both.
M&B has the numbers to make it a unique MP game, this being focused on a quicker match with fun objectives and interesting visceral combat will definitely keep my attention and allow for faster pick up and play.
I'm assuming it won't suffer from unbalanced teams if it has a ranked system implemented which M&B still doesn't have.
>>340112313
As ifmeta 101, git gud
The Warden was fun to play, never mastered the counter attack feature it had, but got to the point I could consistently parry then punish with un-cancelable heavy attacks.
The Oni I enjoyed more. Defense was much harder since it can't hold a stance, but if you press the attack it never matters. Just pummel with light attacks and when they go for a counter do one of the two pull-back-lunge attacks to keep them off balance. The poison blade was stupid overpowered. Throw it on and just tap an opponent to watch them slowly die while you avoid their attacks. Also the kunai was broken if you spammed it the cool down wouldn't start and you could just kunai kill people. Luckily most people in the alpha weren't total shitheads and didn't abuse it.
I wonder what the viking will play like. I'd like to see a berserk feat where you tank a few hits without taking damage allowing for a brief spurt of reckless attacks. Maybe give the shield one a better chance to parry but weaker hits and combos, should be immune to projectiles as well so long as you are in lock on mode.
If I got this game I'd want to play everyone, but my high risk reward preference for fast light characters pushes me to main the samurai...fuck I'm going to hate everyone calling me a weeb.
>>340113853
>Caring what others call you in an online multiplayer game
WEW LADDIE
>>340071367
So it's a kind of Western Mosou? Sounds interesting, though Ubisoft publishing has me wary.
>>340113853
Are you able to select your character?
>>340114042
Not so much care as expect it to be obnoxious, I care about being annoyed and sometimes games like this don't give you the option to mute players mid-match
>>340114247
Yes. During the alpha your team didn't have to be faction specific i.e. all knight or samurai, but you were locked to whichever "hero" you picked at the start of the match.
Unknown how that will be in the launch game or how many heroes for each faction there will be. People are expecting 4 for each, but that is based on a CG trailer and silhouettes on the official site...which could all be bullshit.
>>340089705
Dragon's Dogma is like if Dark Souls bent Shadow of the Colossus over a table and fucked it until it started bleeding and shitting itself.
So, yeah, pretty good.
>>340091380
Thats why you went for gaps in the armor.
>>340092620
What is this saber got blacked thing?
I know nothing about that shit, just know the character
>DaS/BB
Are being legitimately retarded or do they not know how this plays?
L2 is for guard/block mode, you use the Right stick to pick one of three directions to block. R1/R2 for fast/heavy attack, again right stick dictates the directions to attack. L1 is a push
D-pad is for special character abilities, some of which are just faction abilities. Like calling down a catapult fireball or just a buff.
4v4, you constantly see where enemy players are on the map.
>>340103818
I've heard that an actual fight between two knights with swords would pretty much devolve into the two wrestling and trying to get the point of their weapon into the others' armor gaps.
