What if you really like shield bashing. i like Cassandra in Soul Calibur for this reason.

It would be good if the things you can chain from a shield bash were actually worth using at all. You have to do 4+ things in a combo just to do 1 attacks worth of damage. She's a horribly slow defensive hero who relies on countering and dodging to deal her damage. Yet her damage is so loving piss poor that you're going to get chipped down before you can present any kind of threat.

The menus were designed by someone who was blind. The network in the beta was janky at best.

Once you get into the game it's unique and crazy and there is nothing quite like it.

I like the Valkyrie a lot tbh. She's got shield bashes and headbutts like the warlord, lunges like the raider. a cool unblockable leg sweep, and a unique block/dodge mechanic which can chain into a bunch of stuff including a super quick bleed attack.

Yeah, let's be honest. Saying these menus were designed by a blind person is a horrible insult to blind people. Like, goddamn they're bad.

Thank gently caress menu guy never had anything to do with the actual gameplay. Otherwise you'd have to confirm three times for a light attack, then if you try to cancel out to a guard you'd end up sprinting. Or some stupid poo poo.

Ehh. The problem I find is that she's a very very slow defensive hero. Her play style is all about countering, dodging and stunning but her counters and dodges do really poor damage. The only thing you can chain from a shield bash is the leg sweep, which does 0 damage. Then you only have time to get 1 attack in while they're standing up which again, does piss all damage.

With how overpowered the fast assassin characters are you're never going to be able to use the tools you have to dodge and bleed them.

But how many were they fighting against? If the native fighters were the deciding factor, I'd expect victory to go to whomever had more.

They outnumbered their enemies in every case except where they lost, or in the case of the conquest of Mexcio the more numerous (300k) Aztec force quickly dwindled thanks to a smallpox epidemic that decimated their leadership and, again, the Spanish captured Montezuma while house guests of the Emperor.

In the beta, the customization screen was absolutely loving confusing for me, even when I didn't have anything to equip. The thing they probably did not explain at all was the system where you can make your gear look like something else for STEEL.

That being said though, this game is totally something different for me, and I'm gay for dark souls and medieval combat, so this looks like it's right up my alley. I hope so considering i was following this loving game for a year an a half

This might be the first game I had on a console where I had to look on a quick video they provided on how to play the class before I dove into it.

What sort of rewards does the campaign give you for multi (the only mode that matters).

According to one guy in his lawbringer video this morning, he got an engraving for clearing hard, and another for beating it on realistic. I assume if you start on the hardest mode you get them all.

Watching Strippin play Lawbringer right now. He's bitching constantly because of who he is, mostly because Lawbringer doesn't seem to have many super strong followups to his stuff like people are saying...HOWEVER he drains stamina like a motherfucker with his shoves. The move seems to be defensive and get rid of their stamina, then gently caress them.

He's talking very matter of fact-ly about matchups, but he honestly doesn't seem to have a very good grasp of basic mechanics. Maybe it's just that he's not well versed with Lawbringer.

Strippin is a loving salt mine who tends to suck at games forever because he gets tilted and instead of trying to learn just gets buttmad. He gets it in his head how things SHOULD be and when they're not like that he just whines. It's why despite sinking countless hours into stuff like Blood Bowl he's still a miserable failure at it. Still watching right now to watch the class being played.

Stippin definitely seems to be missing the basic gameplay style of the lawbringer, I don't know what that style is yet having not played it yet, but it shouldn't be this hard for the class to work.

1) He keeps shoving after a block instead of just light attacking for free damage
2) He keeps just trying to throw the unblockable over the shoulder throw in there for no loving reason.
3) He refuses to follow a grab or parry with a heavy.
4) He doesn't followup a wall throw or shove with a heavy.

Steam is probably giving you the files from their own servers, where uplay is getting data from their own servers. Its probably just an issue of more people buying it on steam.

You can try changing your steam download center.
