Uh oh, the goon heroes at Giant Bomb love For Honor - despite being absolutely terrible at the game.

That's awesome though, if you can love a game while being awful at it, that means the game may contain the theoretical "fun" particle

e Which For Honor totally does, in my opinion. I'm still waffling about actually buying it, but having an epic sword fight and then kicking my opponent off a wall at the last second when im at dot health is pretty satisfying

Oh yeah, definitely a good thing. Although it's not normally the type of game that people will like if they aren't very good at one on one battles. Like you can't help out significantly in other ways like you can in say battlefield 1.

After watching the For Honor Giant Bomb quick look...this game looks loving awful.

THIS is the game people are going all in on and defending?! Jesus people this game's going to be dead within two weeks. Initial reviews aren't exactly glowing about it.

Way to back Evolve 2.0, goons.

I'm hoping Microsoft can pull a rabbit out of its hat because I don't think gamers will really benefit if we're left with Sony having a monopoly over consoles (yes yes, except for the Switch). Keeping that competition going would be nice.

This is dumb. Sony isn't just competing with Microsoft, they compete with the PC market, mobile phone market, and basically whatever timesink people want to put their lives into. If MS decided to dump their Xbox division, Sony wouldn't have some magical monopoly, because there's still plenty of other market forces at play. Also, people always assume "intense competition" means 2 top companies competing like Coke / Pepsi, or Boeing / Airbus, when the reality is "intense competition" means a ton of other competitors are in your marketplace. And that's not what the video game industry is.

There seemed to be a couple group buff abilities, but i got decapitated so quickly most of the time or used the first available ability so i rarely got to use them. Definitely nothing that could compete with the time i spent turning my team into a never ending stream of immortal soldiers as a medic or making helicopters invincible as an engineer in bf.

You can like a lovely game. Its still a lovely game. Theres something about it that makes people itt defend it really annoyingly. I really think its a sunk cost thing. But hey they promised new content for the game with no content so buy it now!!!

You and other For Honor posters have soured the pot on saying really dumb things to defend it when people criticize it.

Like "Just give it a try" to people who played the pre launch beta. Orthe lack of content complaint answered with "They are releaseing a bunch of future content, buy now :haw: " Or the goon implying that baby gamers can play the computer in Nioh, real skill is defeating 12 year olds who can't find the block stick in the real gamers game For HONOR.

You're going to have to come with more content, then "its good and popular" to not get dismissed about this subject at this point.

Nioh is the new Dark Souls and its combat is miles above even bloodborne.

Pre Scholar I liked Bloodborne more, post Scholar DS2.

I'm not that far in Nioh, I like the gamey aspects , but the first two bosses felt weak. The combat, movement and brevity is way more for me than Soulsborne games. I never cared much for obscure lore

I always get confused when people talk about bosses by number, because I forget the tutorial boss exists. The tutorial boss is lame and boring, the next boss is good, the fourth boss (I think) is not great, but all the other bosses (so far, I've got like 4 missions left) are great.
