Yeah I got that, did that as one of the big guys, I just felt bad defending the point whilst my team was 3v4 but maybe I was also dumb for not going back and forth between clearing B and defending C

Chomp8645 posted:Balance chat: was watching some guy stream as an Orochi. The whole time he was complaining that Orochi is very bad must be buffed. When asked why he didn't play another character he said "I'm gonna get pro as Orochi while they are weak, then once once Ubisoft buffs them I will be a GOD because I'll be the only one who practiced with them!!!" Orochi is good with their little feints and dash slashes and deflects and double high-slash poo poo but if you do it too often people just block high at all your poo poo. Went against a team that had like 3 Orochis and I just casually held Up and matrix-blocked all their poo poo. I haven't thought any character is tremendously better than all others yet since I've been hosed up by all of them at some point but also did well with those same heroes. Nobushi and Peacemaker are loving annoying though since many players just wimp out and waste everyone's time by running in circles, even when the rest of their team was executed. If I had to say one thing that pissed me off more than most it would be the shouldercharges from Warden or freight train charge from Conquerer. If you don't see that guy coming then you're getting pushed on your rear end and stabbed forever.

maybe it's just because my friends and I picked Conqueror/Warlord combos a lot but Nobushi and Peacekeepers routinely couldn't keep up the bleed damage with the super-armor beefcake haymakers we were throwing out. The tiny healthpools were no match for fullguard followed by leaping superman punches, which are the best punches

I love Dominion, 4v4 elimination, 2v2, 1v1, it's all cool poo poo. personally love dominion especially when I play with 4 other friends and we just gently caress up and poo poo-talk constantly. Other modes you occasionally get "runners" but it doesn't matter. We always end up loving them up in the end. IDK why people think running away endlessly, even to gather powerups, is a legit strategy when we can 1) destroy your other teammates while you're bitching out or 2) just eventually get you when/if the rest of the team has been executed

I don't think some people know how Dominion works. Even though the other team had two guys with like 15 kills, they still lost by like 500 points because they were too busy playing call of duty rules with k/d ratio as the primary aspect. then once they were breaking we devoured them and pushed them all off a cliff. How the gently caress do I fight Shugoki, his super armor shakes off all my poo poo. Also what's the best way to kill those loving Nobushis because their combos are way too fast. I've resorted to just hoping I picked a character like Lawbringer and infinitely use charge moves on a Nobushi to corral her all day into walls.

Kilometers Davis posted:gently caress it I'm feeling brave. Bought a copy on PSN and it should be downloaded in 3 hours. I just can't pass up a directional, tactical sword fighting game. you should be fine, like others have said there will always be uber-skilled people but also a load of people on the middle ground. The modes are diverse enough to cater to everyone i.e. Dominion giving you chances to do things other than 1v1, Elimination group matches giving you chances to team up and be a rotten scoundrel, straight up 1V1 stuff, and you can even match up against AI bots of varying difficulty which is still enjoyable. Worst comes to worst you'll probably be with some ubergod person on your team half the time who can help carry your rear end. Even the lowest tier players can win against swordmasters with charge moves and good grabs. Also use the Vs AI modes and lvl 3 duels to practice things like parries, proper counters, etc because practicing for a day or two will make a big difference.

FunkMonkey posted:I always kind of thought that the whole notion of "honorable" behavior in this game was more of a snide joke than a real issue, but I spent most of yesterday evening doing 4v4 with some people on the Discord and holy loving moley I guess a lot of people take it really seriously? The mind boggles. LOL if anyone thinks there is honor beyond the ironic game title. 4V4 matches I was in usually had a 25% chance of the guy I was about to duel hightailing it away so he could help tripleteam another guy. Sometimes it's annoying to chase people but most of the time it results in teams splintering off or ignoring points in Dominion/revives in Elimination. I almost wish I had the PC version to experience the salt that people have, though on PS4 the amount of angry fuckers leaving a match after getting immediately spitroasted by a double-team of Warlords is wide. It's pretty funny.

UberJew posted:On basically every 4v4 elimination there is a powerup directly behind where you spawn. I start every single round by turning around and booking it for the nearest one. And then I'll duel if the person chased me because I've now got bonus health or damage and they don't. A lot of the time I'll still lose because I'm really bad but damnit you have to try Personally I love this because it gives me a good opportunity to get off a running stab or tackle as they stand in the powerup icon like a doofus. I had one guy running all over the map collecting powerups until 3 of us were sick of his poo poo and intercepted him

cock hero flux posted:So the problem with Lawbringer is that like 80% of his moveset is a trap.Trying to use most of it will get you killed. so, he's a character that was designed by a loving moron. It would be cool if half his moveset wasn't useless and wasn't super-passive; if you want to just shove people, might as well pick Warden or another big guy. Right now when going up against scrappy characters like any Samurai or Peacemaker, the toolset isn't that great and the weapon range doesn't make up for the slow speed. Honestly when your skillset boils down to "your combos are bad and so are your parries and only use like 3 things" there's something wrong there. Playing defensively is more fun with the two shieldbros who can go Full Defense in a pinch.

Zaphod42 posted:Its more fun to do a series of duels than just ganking people and them hoping they can abuse revenge enough to beat both of you. every game mode except 1v1 is potentially straight up garbage. Dominion boils down to "hunt in a pack of 3 or 4 constantly to win every time" and Elimination is basically "run away constantly to gang up on others / also run for a fucken hour if you're about to die" and both of these things are fatiguing as gently caress. If I didn't pay like 5 bux for this game I'd be pissed as poo poo. I can't imagine paying 60 dollars for this in a zillion years. I too wish there was a lobby and the wait between matches for 1v1 wasn't so goddamn long and cumbersome but oh well, maybe like most Ubisoft games the sequel will get it right.

Dezztroy posted:Conqueror doesn't have a huge moveset but what he does have is solid. He's far from the worst in the game, that title belongs to the Raider. Or maybe Lawbringer, depends who you ask. I'd def put Lawbringer on the bottom because you have to be passive and depend on mistakes and his moveset loving sucks. Raider I can use but his moveset just seems so limited. I just stick to his light attacks because no one is stupid enough to get tackled. He just has nothing special going for him while Kensei has some technical poo poo and Warden is just braindead easy-tier. I had a game vs AI wherein like 3 loving people dropped in and out. It's a loving AI game look just because you died once doesn't mean you have to disconnect in anger, jesus. The amount of people who quit after being thrown into a pit is astronomical.

It might be a bit early to make this call, but I can safely say that Ubisoft's For Honor will go down in history as one of the great competitive games of this or any generation. It's just attracted such dedicated, passionate fans, and in such great numbers. The balance of the game is just top notch, and much like the classics I can see it being played for decades to come, inspiring generations of new gamers with its innovative play style and unmatched polish.

I'm curious to see if that 10k "boycott" of For Honor actually happens, because it won't loving matter. They have your money, just like all the other multiplayer games they muddled and people realized after a month that things like transactions/servers/content were not really improving. Ubisoft will never fix poo poo though because why bother? they make impossibly good sales from their games every single time. poo poo, For Honor alone was sold out of Amazon the day before.
