For Honor

Trying to convince my kid brother not to get this right now and wait for an eventual special sale and the fixes. Truth be told, the Gold Edition or whatever is rather cheap comparability speaking on Steam.

Your advice is of poor value indeed, for the game is more than fairly priced for what it offers. Not to mention that it is bound to grow in a same manner that Siege did, so that it would be wise for lad to jump in as soon as possible in order to hone his competitive skills.
Kodex encourages everyone to acquire a copy of this most excellent title.

That too is a valid mystical path, that losing of oneself in Nature that is symbolized by that gif. One of my favorite writers, Algernon Blackwood, was quite partial to it and often featured such motifs in his fiction. Indeed, even though he is remembered as a horror writer, his fiction often had eminently positive spiritual subtext.

In B4 this game is dead in 4 months, just like the hundreds of FOTM multiplayer games to come out in the past 3 years.

Of course, this trend has *nothing* to do with twitch being used as a shilling platform for game devs.

Or it could grow and be even bigger in a year like siege.

Quality Ubisoft writing.

Longass tutorial

 

[cannondwarf]

If you care at all about the campaign you've misunderstood the purpose of the game, which is 1v1 duels.

 

[EnthalpyFlow]

The campaign is as Cyberarmy said, a long tutorial, that shows you several classes and some of the consumable abilities. Not terrible, not good. The only interesting thing about it is its max difficulty level that makes you play the game without the UI (you have to read the opponent movements to know where the hit is coming from).

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Ok, so campaign is meh and there's not much more singleplayer beyond that?

 

[EnthalpyFlow]

You can play the entire game (including the multiplayer) without having to fight any human player. There are some modes that probably get you some other players into your team for PvE, but that's it.

Duh, it's a first person action game...

Is that why 1v1 duels are where the game's biggest flaws come to light? Interesting.

Got my review copy of the game today and I have to say that I haven't really encountered any of the server issues people claim to have...

Time to amend my statement. Dominion mode PVP (one of the three 4vs4 modes) is virtually unplayable 90% of the time due to constant disconnects, people being dropped out and replaced by bots, or the matchmaker simply refusing to find a match.

Other than that, the rest of the modes seem to work fine. Bigest incentive to keep playing as far as I'm concerned is to earn enough War Assets and lead my Knight brethren deep into the lands of the weeaboos in the Faction War meta-game.

That is truly a noble cause,Deus Vult

You'll be happy to know that anything you do in the faction war is completely meaningless and the victor is decided purely by the time of day at which the last round ends, as shown by the previous beta tests.

Defensive and reactive playstyles reign supreme at high level, is this what you mean by flaws? Because I honestly can't think of anything else. All other modes except 2v2 brawl are garbage.

 

[EnthalpyFlow]

I can't agree with you. Duel is by far my favourite mode, although I play all of them (reward and missions systems are a great incentive).

The only thing that is garbage here is the combat system.
Dominion is the only mode that actually has some strategy involved (and is actually what the game was designed around).

That sounds suspiciously like something someone who's bad at the game would say.

 

[Gerrard]

Someone who is actually good at the game realizes how shit the combat system is. So either you're a shitter or you think that the staring contest gameplay is good and requires skill. Either way you're retarded.

 

[tormund]

In order to be good at the game you need to appreciate its combat system. Your first sentence makes no sense from the get go.
