What are /v/ thoughts of the new Mount and Blade II gameplay? Are you excited for it? Expectations?
Sieges is all I ever wanted, so I'm excited.
Reroll for day 1 flop
>>341249528
Don't crush my dreams, Anon. This is the only game I'm actually excited for.
>>341249378
I hope they keep some of the shitty voice over from the original game
>>341249378
Release date when
>>341250440
In 2017, I guess.
hoping it will be great
all it needs to be is warband with a new coat of paint and some changes to sieges (which they've done) and incorporating some of the stuff mods for warband gave us (see: diplomacy, floris)
>>341250571
I hope they fix some of the AI problems that the last game had. But from the video I see that at least they don't form a fucking moshpit anymore, they use actual formations now, pretty much like Total War.
>>341251081
mmm well I don't know, it's an early build but still, when they filtered past the battering ram they moshed up
I like that they fixed ladders, you actually climb them now
Combat is exactly the same. Graphics are slightly better than current with modded textures. New features look great.
Overall a step up but I'd expect a lot more given the increase in budget and ability to hire.
>>341251426
Yeah, it still has issues when it comes to doors and gates, but I have hope. I'm also excited for the mods. I can already see the LotR total conversions.
>>341251741
yeah I'm excited either way, got hundreds of hours out of warband
Siege + Weapon customization is a real treat for me.
All that is left is a good castle/fief upgrade system where you can have your very own bad ass castle to call home.
I just want coop campaign like that horrible mod, its such a pain in the ass to have people connect for every battle+stream the overworld map.
>>341251630
Even the combat animations look the same. I hope that they're placeholders and not the actual final animations. Well at least they should polish them.
>>341252017
I really doubt they're going to change much and that's very disappointing imo.
Animations are a relatively straightforward thing to work on with a nicely limited scope but offering a great gameplay improvement, yet they can't be bothered.
This game better come to PS4
Until then dont talk about it this is /v/ not reddit we are smart enough to know the PS4 is the best
>>341252275
Well, if they end up not changing or improving the animations, we will still have the mods that change that, I guess.
For how long it has been in development it doesn't seem to have many improvements.

It's like they know

based rhodocks
first they blast you with xbow spam then they pull out picks and greatshields
>>341255689
>No horses
Heh
>>341249378
Can't wait.
I really really hope they change that annoying mechanic that lets enemies attack right through their teamates. Whenever you're nearby teamates, not being able to swing is really fucking lame, considering the enemy can

>>341249378
If there's some equestrian archery going on, maybe I'll buy it. If there are a fuckton number of shields, then I'll definitely buy it.
>>341254220
That is some amazing Rhodok art.
>>341256690
He could have pulled that bow out on his horse
This game seems to me a lot like warband just with much more detail and much much better animation which is perfect.
They need to show more of the campaign, it needs more meat in it
>Siege
>No women or children to slaughter
day one trash bin maybe day 1 bargain bin if it's for 5$
>>341256356
Who needs horses when Sultan Hakim's 300+ Cavalry crashes and scatters like water in the face of my Huscarl shieldwall?
>>341257581
it was pretty cool how the ai started retreating for a last stand though
>>341257581
It's a castle siege tho, and there is a woman
>>341249378
definitely needs more SCREAMING
>>341249378
I will drink from your

>>341258000
AI sucks, 6:08, they can't even get through the doorway.
I got rock hard while watching that siege video. Core gameplay looks the same, way more features and shit. And I'm actually impressed by the graphical improvement.
Goodbye, another few hundred hours of my life.
I'm literally cumming faster than I can clean it up.
