Why there are so few games about swordplay?

Because Dark Messiah and Dying Light already perfected it and that one Kickstarter Neal Stephenson headed went nowhere.

Because almost every single sword play game is just fundamentally broken

First time i've seen those trailers and acknowledged the existence of that game, didn't seem shit to me, care to explain further your impressions?

Because for honor was shit.

>Ubishit killing one of it's games for the shitty netcode is the reason why no one else makes similar games.

We still have primitive aspects lodged in our minds.

Same reason putting your head in water gives you an adrenaline rush because cavemen couldn't swim and the adrenaline was needed to escape the water.

Simple Games for Simple People

for honor wasn't a game about swordplay, it was about staring at your opponent until he tried to attack because the the turtle meta was bullshit and the devs were too lazy to fix it

not that guy, but it was rotten to the core and netcode is only part of the recipe. unbelievable bad balancing and bad modes dug the grave and the connection and netcode rolled it in
