I am not very good at fighting games so holy poo poo did it feel good to just barely pull off a win in my first 1v1. This game can feel pretty drat cinematic when you're circling each other for a full minute before exploding into a desperate flurry of pants making GBS threads madness. Of course then this level 17 peacekeeper teabags my level 7 warden because it's a competitive fightmans game but THEN rahhhhh! The bleeding knight prevails with the gently caress you top light counter

Vikings have already won the faction war, right? Beta ends in less than 3 hours.

Gameplay is really good, dedicated servers don't exist, content is incredibly sparse. Should be a f2p game. There. That is my review.

I finally managed to meet a player who could beat me in a duel, but then he left after 1 match. WHY HAVE THOU FORSAKEN ME!?

Are there people that honestly, no joke, believe that when someone says "this game doesn't have enough content" that more maps and a redundant game mode are all that they want? Just lol.

lol at that because good deep gameplay is enough content for me. I already want to keep playing the beta because the actual you know game is rewarding enough

Yeah, this game is fun but lmao eighty dollars for just the base game. A higher production value Chivalry isn't worth nearly a hundred dollars. Hopefully it doesn't die in a few weeks like 90% of multiplayer games do and I can pick it up on the cheap from a Steam sale in a few months.

Kawabata posted:game looks and plays great I agree on both points. I think just about everyone likes the way it plays. There just isn't much to do. The dueling is good. Dominion... exists. The faction war is completely pointless and retarded. More maps won't change any of those things. A 4v4 deathmatch really won't either.

I just fought the same guy in a 1v1 for like 2 hours straight till he got disconnected randomly in the match. Nobushi Vs Beserker. I'd say he was better than me at the start but after a while I figured him out. He was real friendly in the chat too. God speed wherever you are guy

Wandle Cax posted:What sort of additional content would you expect? There are two big things they could do to improve value imo off the top of my head. The first would be a proper "big battle mode". Something that really feels like you're in the chaos. Dominion gets there a little bit... but not really. It's just a 4v4 with control points and a pile of mooks in the middle. Some kind actual siege with attackers and defenders would be cool, instead of this mode where there are "attackers" and "defenders" in name only. Unfortunately a a real "big battle mode" is probably impossible due to the magic of P2P. Another would be to make the Faction War actually fun to engage with. Right now it is totally pointless. There is nothing to do with it. I don't have a specific idea cooked up for this one, but I'm not on the game design team. Something to actually make you feel attached to your faction and able to interact with the war in an engaging way would be a great addition.

Wandle Cax posted:What sort of additional content would you expect? Ubisoft will probably mess this up, but to me a shitload of low drop % cosmetics you might or might not get at the end of every game plus maybe 1 or 2 more modes would be plenty. Imagine if they treated this game the way Kaplan treats Overwatch, with constant back and forth from the community, aggressive balancing and so on. This could be a pretty big hit. Price they announced is ridiculous. I don't know why they don't ask for 1/3 of that and then periodically release cosmetics/new characters (no more than 3-4 a year would be perfect) that either you grind in game or you buy with your hard earned money. You're a loving knight in this game, people will buy cosmetics for their loving knight. BOOM, literally trains of money for Ubi. EDIT: market it like a cool looking esports too

I like the game well enough as it is, bigger game modes just become more of a clusterfuck where your personal performance/skill becomes less important, and anything more than 2v2 is already a big enough clusterfuck as it is. The combat system is heavily geared towards small, intense fights, large scale poo poo belongs in a game that already exists called Chivalry which has it's own problems (such as the small scale intense fights being lovely) I agree that the territory war thing is kind of underwhelming right now and maybe they could flesh it out somehow beyond just dumping nebulous 'war asset' points into zones. But I'm fine with it as it is right now and am currently on the 'buy it' side of the fence. The price is a bit steep for what it is which is unfortunate, I'd prefer it started at 40 for the base game (like noted multiplayer heavyweight Overwatch) but the business guys at ubisoft are pretty brainless it seems and can't figure out how to price anything that isn't a AAA budget single player game. I looked up what the preorder / 'deluxe edition' rewards for this are, which had to be done off the main store page because they took that info down because it's a loving joke how worthless it is. Oh well, I don't think I'll be getting it day 1 at least, give some time to make sure there aren't gamebreaking issues that sneak in or something, but I'm cautiously optimistic right now.

Knocking people off ledges and into fires is the most amazing thing. Once the game launches I'm probably going to make a compilation video of knocking dudes off cliffs set to yakety sax or some poo poo.

Not to argue for or against p2p vs dedicated but most fighting games on consoles do use p2p. I don't know of an example of a current console fighting game that does use dedicated servers to host the matches. Captain Beans fucked around with this message at 02:28 on Jan 30, 2017 |

Yeah I had an absolute loving blast playing this game. I always had my doubts about it but when I found out the Rainbow 6: Siege team was making it I wondered if they could accidentally make two good games. Looks like they did! Shame about all the Ubi bullshit attached though. It could be so much better with real support behind it
