For Honor looks pretty good. I was skeptical at first, but then I saw pic related and it seems the combat is actually quite deep.
The graphics didnt look anything special either, so perhaps no downgrades this time. I wonder if Ubi is finally learning.
>>341243358

Fuck off shill. It's a watered down Mount and Blade Combat for consoles
>>341243358
Probabbly this 5 broo
>>341243358
>>341243696
can someone explain the combat system?
so there are 3 guard stances that only work to specific attacks? do you have attack stances? what if you just circle around the guard stick wildly?
>>341243696
I agree with this but did you see that fucking halfswording?

Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 on PS4 use the left touch pad, you'd have to go out of your way to press it. Having Triangle do emotes and have Circle and L1 do nothing is fucking stupid.
>>341244686
Unless emotes are an integral part of the gameplay experience. I doubt they are, but it's possible.
>>341245048
>>341244686
Pretty sure you emote to start a 1v1 duel.
>>341245241
...that's too rare for a dedicated button.
I meant like "taunting/emoting baits enemies to let their guard down and attack" or something.
Something where you'd be doing it often enough that it deserved to sit next to dodge and guard break.
>>341244014
that's how the most popular normie-tier """""action""""" series does it

>>341243358
Why is L1 left unbound? It would make sense for there to be something useful there, like a "medium attack" option, or to do something special like switch from standard sword style to halfswording or mordschlag rather than the latter just being part of the normal combos.
>>341245392
Someone clearly never played Chivalry.
>FOR THE ORDER
>>341246804
Why would he play a shitty game anon?
>>341243869
There are 3 directions you can attack and defend. You have a heavy attack (slow) light attack (fast) , throw, dodge, some other shit. There's a small window you can react to an attack and it takes a very small time to change where you're guarding but if you just circle your block you will get hit 90% of the time (I tried in the alpha) .
>>341243696
Watered down 4 directional combat with chambers and feints?
I can tell you it isn't easily comparable to mount and blade nor chivalry. It's more like a musou for creeps and then played combat can get very deep very quick depending on if your opponent is skilled or not.

WHY!? The only original Ubisoft game I was looking forward to and they release it the same day as Persona.
Fuck.
Mash R2 and R1 to win. Wow.
I unironically liked the bearded guy with the cane, he was a really nice narrator despite his fedoraism.
>>341243971
But it does have better gameplay :^) unlike this AAA trash
>>341245241
1v1 dueling isn't exactly the norm nor is it rare. The outnumbered scenarios are weighted in favor of numbers but you're not dead outright.
So this game is unplayable with keyboard and mouse?
>>341244075
It's so cluncky, it makes it good and fun.
>>341247875
Just get Bannerlord fami. It looks more promising.
>>341247549
What are counters, parries, feats, etc.
I understand you don't want it to be fun.
For Honor looks real fucking fun. We'll see how it plays out. Hopefully no esports bullshit.
On the subject of M&B though, my last game ended because everyone in the tournament ran out of spears and the ones on the ground despawned making the whole thing unwinnable. QUALITY.
>>341243869
Right analog is key, basically you have three directions to attack and you're supposed to hit the part where the guard isn't up. The opponent has to react in time to point at the right direction to parry the enemy attacks.
This allows you to feint the enemy and trick them into attacking one open side when you can easily parry then and knock them down. People who played the game said if you're good enough you can take on two opponents at once and parry the shit out of them and win. If you're tactical you can stall time for your teammates to come help. The three factions are all different in ways where the Viking is power orientated and the Samurai is speed orientated.
>>341248118

Those are nothing like what they showed in the trailer, those look like giant ass pavises. Nips rarely if ever used one-handed shields, most of their warfare centered around horse archery
And can someone explain why vikings are in this game? They're literally glorified bandits that primarily fought monks and poorly defended villages
>>341249161
Odd, can you elaborate ?
>>341249472
Contrast to the other factions.
It's also a fantasy game, they're the chosen not the japanese.
>>341249472
>Why do cannon fodder ashigaru mobs have shields
Because it's either less work for the devs if they share animations with all the rest or because they are placeholders.
>And can someone explain why vikings are in this game?
For the same reasons that people like to put ninjas, pirates and zombies together on a ship.
>>341249805
The combat feels like bamham
Boring
>>341250472
I haven't played that. What should it feel like?
>>341250581
Just watch the video, mr shill :=)
>>341247886
That's not a factual statement
>>341250741
3/10 you managed to get replies
In a world where Chivalry, M&B and soon Mordhau and M&B2 exist, why would you want to play a shallow, braindead medieval combat game like For Honor?
>>341251143
The mordhau shill finally arrives.
How's that kickstarter?
>>341243696
The only deep thing about mount and blade's combat was the distance from your enemy and the speed at which your moving affects your damage or hitting an enemy for any significant amount of damage. Other than that, nothing deep about it that say, chivalry hasnt done similarly
>>341251143
I get motion sick playing chiv. Mordhau looks exactly like chiv. I tried multiplayer in m&b and I get 3 servers with 5 people on them with less than 150 ping but I'm looking forward to its single player.
>>341243358
This could be the last Ubisoft game I give a second look.
>>341248118
I think it has E sports written all over it, ohana.
>>341248151
The 2v1 thing can go many ways. When I played we would buddy up and have one engage and one be the "parrot".
If the first guy got his ass kicked the parrot would come tag in while the other retreated to a control zone to heal.
Your attacks can stagger your friendly units so in certain situations it's best to engage 1v1.
>>341243358
Wait, you CAN attack in different directions as well, right? Otherwise aren't the guard controls completely pointless?
>>341254459
Yeah man. There's directional attacks and blocks. There's also guard breaks, a push pull mechanic and throws.
I think all the flak this game is getting can be filed under "It uses directions like mount and blade but you don't use a mouse to control it" "it uses directions like chivalry but you don't guide your swings" "it's not realistic" "it's ubisoft"
>>341255021
Even if it's watered down, isn't it a good thing that more games are using this combat rather than the shitty on-screen button prompts that the Arkham games have caused?
>>341243358
>no dancing button
Dropped
>>341255253
Watered down version of what? I've never played arkham, super hero stuff kills my interest in anything for some reason.
Question though.
How much can you customize your unit?
Currently, as I have seen, there are three factions right?
Is the unit of each faction always use the fucking same weapon/equipment/skills?
It would get boring pretty fast honestly
>>341255786
Mount and Blade. The Arkham games have really shitty combat, you don't even move your character, you just press the button/key that appears on-screen and watch him do thing. Since it's so easy a monkey could manage it and it's 'cinematic', it's been finding its way into most recent action games. No something is going down the M&B route and people complain.
>>341256098
There are like classes, if that makes sense? Idk if they'll have a customizable loadout or not but in the alpha they did not. There will be more classes than the 2 the Alpha had, they played very different from each other. You also could not switch during the game so I can see people "maining" something if that stays the case.
You could unlock and change some aesthetics (helmet, pauldrons and shit)
>>341256235
It's more like a fighting game than mountain blade mechanics, there just happens to be a directional thing. But yeah I'm excited a new game is bringing something more interesting than that to the table.
Gonna get this. Was gonna get bannerlord but this game made m&b combat feel like retarded cousin.

>>341249472
>They're literally glorified bandits that primarily fought monks and poorly defended villages

The created some of the best and fastes ships of their time to carry cargo and many men to foreign lands.
The vikings not only took on raids to most of the eastern world (most of arabia, asia, afrika and russia) but after they where done rading them they established trade routes to all of them.
They also regularly travled to England and fucked them in the ass.
Killed their king and fucked his wife and instaded a nores rule in England
Most of the british royalty is actually the descendants of Vikings
The only reason why the scotland is a thing is because england was so busy fending off Vikings 24/7 that nobody noticed that they made their own state.
Let's also not for get that Harald bluetooth made christianity a thing throughout most of western europe, because the bristish were practically part of their kingdom
mordhau looks better
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-B4AwgArwA
>>341243869
Its fairly simple
You run around in circles until someone 1v1s you, then your mate runs up behind them and kills them because you cant fight two players at once.
You see, Ubisoft are so smart they designed a combat system where it is LITERALLY impossible to fight more than 1 foe at once, which would be fine for a game that was 1v1. But no, Ubisoft in their infinite wisdom made it 4v4, and then decided to throw in a bunch of AIs who can also stab you in the back.
This is really a fucking amazing achievement, because the non lock on combat for parrying system has existed for years now, and Ubisoft decided using a system that works wouldn't be good.
>>341243358
I thought this looked pretty shit honestly when they showed it off. Looked just like Ryse, maybe it's far more fun when you're actually playing, but as it is it just looked a bit clunky
>>341264229
They also created the best steel in human history before the industrial age
Quite the accomplishment, some guys did tests using their methods and found it was good enough steel to be used in modern day construction. Obviously not in amounts enough to actually build something, but still.

If anything it's the japs that deserve a good kicking.
They did literally nothing but war among themself until the 1800 hundreds when an Amarican came and told them to open their fucking boarders
And they did, because they where scared of all of the 4 (FOUR) ships he had with him
>>341243696
Mount and blade isn't even deep you fucking idiot.
>hur dur 4 directions wow it's so deep guys nothing could ever compare
Not to mention it doesn't translate well online at all and it becomes a busted laggy mess. Hopefully bannerlord will be better with that.
>>341247973
Why would I play a game which forces you to lock onto your target over a game which doesnt?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-B4AwgArwA
>>341264647
Where to start.
1.you can fight multiple people at once. You can freely switch targets, dodge an attack from one guy while smashing into another to roll over his back and stab his friend. If that's not to your liking please inform me of this good system that let's you hit 2 people at once with a weapon designed to hit one person at once.
2.dominion is 4v4, there are other game modes. Those minions are worth points which you need to break the other team. They're your down time consumer. You need to clear them to gain control of capture points to net your team points and a place to heal.
>>341265261
One is coming out, the other isnt.
God forbid someone do something different.
>>341243358
>hold R3 to run

>>341268448
Who is this? And why am I in love?
>>341269220
I've never seen someone be that intimidated by women.
I'm definitely interested in For Honor. But a lot will depend on how fun it is to play. And it looks like it may be fun. With both MP and SP, it looks like a full game too. I am afraid it's shallow though. It doesn't look that hard to master. And I haven't seen anything about a progression system.

Holy fucking shit lad, this is some of the most retarded shit I have ever read in my entire life.
The monarchy is mostly German you fucking dolt.
Vikings did not "fuck England in the ass". England wasn't even a fucking country during the height of viking raids. The vikings had success against Mercia and Wessex, because they were single kingdoms that were fractured and poorly ruled.
Once Alfred took over Wessex that was the beginning of the end of vikings in England.
Vikings were nothing more than raiders and rapists, they used hit and run tactics as whenever they faced an army of equal size they got the shit kicked out of them because they couldn't into fucking strategy.
Stop watching vikings on the history channel, it's rotting your brain.

were vikings the niggers of the past?
Why are Vikings objectively the best warriors in human history? Is it their military superiority and ferocity? Is it the fact that their women are by far the most attractive? Is it their rich culture and heritage?
