Why did For Honor flop so hard?
Assassins.

It didn't. It was one of the top selling games for a while and has plenty of players on console.
But if you want the /v/ response...
>Ubisoft
Recently? Ubisoft is trying to appeal to competitive cancer too much. Every hero is balanced around 1v1 and it ruins the other game modes.
>>378706527
Shitty gear system and poorly balanced characters that were impossible to fix without completely redoing animations meant that the game ultimately dissolved into an unbreakable defense-oriented meta. High level play consists of doing absolutely nothing until the enemy attacks first and punishing them for it, so you get a lot of stalemates and staring matches. There are some characters that have abilities that break these stalemates, so they are ultimately the only viable ones.
Shit balance and ubishit not fixed the connection issues

Actually they balance the heroes around 4v4 and 2v2 because those are the most played. Shugoki is fucking useless in 1v1.

Netcode.
I have a recording of "YES I JUST COMPLETED MY 8 KILLSTREAK ORDER, I HOPE WE DON'T-FUCK!"
I never bought it but I played it on a friend's playstation.
It wasn't bad for a ubisoft game, and I didn't feel jewed playing it.
I feel that says a lot.
It's one of the top selling games this year. ubisoft doesn't give a flying fuck whether people are still playing it or not.
>>378706527
it didn't, it lasted as long as most single player games and it made more money than you think.
>>378706890
You're not even me but I feel your pain
>>378707103
He worked on that for 4 days.
Chivalry is better despite how flawed it is.
>>378707212
Chivalry isn't even a melee fighting game anymore so much as it is a physics exploitation game.
>>378707212
Maybe if I felt like swinging my weapon around like a retard.
>>378706527
Shitty servers that still crash often and questionable choices when it comes to balancing the game on the part of the devs. Cents easily dodge able kick in 1v1 is being looked at while shinobis kick which is more or less unpunishable in 1v1 and just as good as cents in 4v4 need more data gathered on it.
>>378707932
actually i should correct that, there are no servers. it's just shit netcode that leads to a shit ton of crashes.
>>378706527
because I didn't buy it.
