For Honour

I’m surprised noone has posted a topic about it yet. I mean I found out what the game was about…about week 1/2 ago. Looks very promising. Liking the mechanics. Can’t wait to get my hands on the beta.

This seems like a low-key title to me. Not bad, per sé, just nothing terribly special that makes it stand out. I will try the beta certainly, and that will inform upon any decisions I make regarding this game, but for now it’s looking like I will NOT be getting this game.

I remember seeing the trailer and thinking it looked great, but Ubisoft’s name gives me pause. I also looked up gameplay and wow. I’m really hoping it’s just super early footage, or the people playing are terrible, because that was some of the most boring gameplay I’ve seen in years.

This looks like a way less fun version of Dynasty Warriors. I mean WAY less.

Don’t get me wrong @FengShuiEnergy, I don’t mean to crap all over your enthusiasm AT ALL, as I was psyched for it too. I’m still keeping an eye on it and I really hope it turns out well, as I love the art design and the initial trailer, but yeah, I think other areas might have a long ways to go if this is going to live up to its initial potential. After the first Watch Dogs, I’m a bit less enthusiastic about Ubisoft’d chances of making this hit all the right notes, but here’s hoping!

I’m enjoying the aspect of the gameplay alot. From parries to feints, to the 3 way stance system. I like it.

As for dynasty warriors…I never actually saw gameplay footage of the series until just 5 minutes ago. Eh, is what I can say about it gameplay wise. For honour is much deeper.

Seems ok, the modern UI feels out of place

? Modern? Modern what?

Fixed

Player purposes of course.

Gameplay already exists!? I’ve been waiting to see gameplay! And now I know why I haven’t seen it yet… It’s terrible! Even now as I type this, the video still plays in the background and the sound effects are awfully repetitive.

I’ll definitely be giving it a pass.

I played in the Alpha and I can honestly say it is very much like a fighting game.

Parries, blocking, mind games, specials and combos all work in a very similar way to something like KI or SF. You have grabs, knock downs, OTG moves, counters, all sorts of things.

It’s tough to explain but I would consider it like a cross between a MOBA and a fighting game, mixed with a little bit of Dark Souls in terms of the movement and fighting momentum.

Basically. I missed the alphas sadly. I like it. They went for a more “realism” combat with a pinch of fantasy thrown in this time around.

As I said before it looks very promising. That and it’s been awhile since I’ve played a ubi game anyway. I hope the beta starts in early jan.

I like FGs, but not MOBAs or DS, so that’s still a net NO for me.

Its a fun game. I’d suggest you try it out before ignoring it.

Well, I did sign up for the beta, so…
