Absolver

>>384956382
def getting. loved the beta and i feel like the meta can be ever changing for each player. get it for PC with DS4 as a controller like me.

>>384956382
awesome gameplay ps4, dirty oar

>playing fighting games on PC
Why would you ever do this?

>>384957961
Its called "plataforms dont matter", anon.

>>384959148
No, it's called "PC fightan has no community to fight"

>>384959148
Anon PC fighting games die in a week.

looks really cool mechanically

looks too generic artistically to get an actual community going tho

>>384956382
>Don't know if I should get it for PS4 or PC
I've been wondering the same thing. Is it 60fps on PS4 because I'd rather have a not dead community but 30fps is a deal breaker.

>>384961740
Has there ever been a 30fps fightan?

>>384956382
they need to do another beta

>>384963454
For Honor

>>384956382
Oh boy, another rock, paper, scissors For Honor failure. No thanks.

>>384964129
This doesn't play like For Honor at all. In fact, it plays more like God Hand.

>>384963454
Bloodborne

>>384964356
Not a fightan.

>>384957961
Its not a """fighting game"""" in any strict sense

Would call it more of a 3d brawler

>>384959795
>>384960906
*wink

>>384965809
For honor held up long enough to have sink good hours into

The games themselves not being hugely similar, but the fanbase close

>>384965971
Yeah, i hope it wont die in a week or so, seems like a very good game.

>>384966154
Also the game is literally half the cost so that's bound to pull at least some people in

Pretty excited, hopefully they fix up the netcode for the release

has any game EVER done this?

>>384966509
One can dream

When the netcode worked it worked pretty good, it just seemed unstable

>>384966361

>hopefully they fix up the netcode for the release

I was excited for this game until I read that

devs need to spend less time shilling and more time fixing netcode

It looks decent enough but I'm afraid this will just be another For Honor.

>>384966856
>shill
Jesus Christ /v/ is absolute shit. 100 threads with a fucking tree and some anime bitch with a revolver are ok but rhe moment someone makes a thread about video games it's a shill thread.

>>384967050
This statement means 20 different things to 20 different people

>>384967172
Shill has lost all its meaning, as have most words that /v/ eventually gets the hang of.
Now it's definition is "speaking in any way positively about a game"

>>384967205
For me specifically, For Honor just wasn't as fun as I was expecting it to be. It also died really quickly and was full price. I'll keep my eye on this though.

I'm still a bit hesitant about getting the game, but I do like the look of it so far

Have they announced any type of open beta?

>>384967534
Nah their closed one is all we have

The devs streamed the game a bunch recently if you want more intel

>>384967050
For Honor was fun until the dlc characters came out.

>>384968074
Have they shown much PvE content?

Most of the videos I see are just pvp fights.

>>384968797
Yeah a lot of it is PvE

Devolver at twitch I think, should have videos from the last few days

I'll get this if it has decent single player content.

Is it multiplayer-only?

How is it structured? Is it like Darks Souls pve with other people invading?

>>384969820
Its dark souls pve with other people already being there, no red/white phantom split. You can be in offline mode I think

>>384968439
The standard characters still had some characters that shined for their bullcrap
>Raider has a cool throw forward but Warlord can do Raider's throw in any direction
>Warden, Warlord and Orochi flicker spam
>Buff Warden shoulder bash to help shitters more
But yeah the new heroes are no fun allowed unless you play as them

>>384970035
How does gear customisation work? do outfits give specific stats or can you go /fa/ with it?

>>384970035
>other people already being there
How does this work, people start at random locations or something?

>>384970173
There is 8 pieces of armor I think and they all have 3 different damage protection levels and weight. There are also weight classes that govern stamina speed I think.

Some moves also scale with the weight of a character, although the impact to both health loss and damage increased seemed marginal so there is nothing stopping anyone from going /fa/

Alright, thanks. That's pretty cool.

Only way to play

It's also the hardest and most patrician choice for learning moves

>>384970798
I'm just worried about the flood of drunk stylers. those moves look hard to perfect dodge

>>384970905
I'm sure there will be some NPCs that let you practice against em

Not to mention the way this game is structured the most used moves will turn into the most predictable and avoidable

>>384957126
>>384963474
What the fuck? There was a beta and nobody told me!?

>>384970391
8 Different sets or 8 slots for armor?

Only 8 sets is a bit small

Absolver at EVO when?

>>384971595
8 slots

Was the beta on PS4? How did it play? Was it 60fps?

>>384972335
I believe the beta waa only on PC

Game isn't exactly super HD though so if it doesn't run at 60 they fucked up

>>384972421
So it's primarily a PC game then?

>>384972421
pretty sure the beta was on ps4 as well. and from reading the thread it was 30fps on ps4.

Guess I got my answer then. I'll buy it on PC. Too bad it'll be dead in a month.

>>384974036
Month is plenty of time to enjoy a game

>>384974139
Sure if you have adhd.

>>384975389
Or you play for more than 30 minutes a day

>>384974139
this game seems like it might have some depth. there's no point in getting it if it's going to be dead in a month and there won't be anyone to experiment new combat decks on.

>>384957961
>Why would you ever do this?
Why the fuck not? You sound touched.

>>384977807
Because it's dead. Can't play against nobody, anon.

>only ever played Shug

>all that glorious rage when you one-shot an Orochi or any light-class who never learned how to parry an unblockable

That club was the most satisfying weapon in any PVP game I've ever played, followed closely by the 1-hit-kill ShugHug that was a goddamn salt factory in any mode.

>>384978034

Will the matchmaking eventually suck? Sure. Will I struggle to find fights across the game's community? Doubtful

It's the same shit with actual fighting games. Shitters love to complain that they are all dead on PC and don't realize most of the matchmaking is done outside the game

>>384979074
I'm still buying it once I'm out of the academy but I know in my heart it'll be useless.

Shit is gonna be like buying Journey 6 months after release.

>>384979182
Maybe this was only a problem in the beta, probably was, but the main problem I had was that some moves were class specific and not on any of the NPCs, so I did require other people to complete my moveset.
Hopefully that's only the case in the beta since it only had 3 areas

>>384979610
The appeal seems to be the journey and build up of your character. There is apparently a story and lore, and at least one confirmed end-game PVE dungeon, so there's actual effort and content given to making it an actual game and not just an endless series of PVP matches.

However no matter how hard they sell the PVE side of things, the main draw is always going to be for the PVP, so who knows what'll get added as time goes by, if anything.

>>384979796
The developers so far confirmed new weapons and moves. The staff being one of the things not in yet

>>384979627
Nice, my brother was actually a sonar technician in the US Navy and he loved it. He has a great career now because of it working for Intel on radio stuff and I think the wireless cards. Good luck and study hard and have fun!

Are there any flying knees?

>>384979931
There are knees but I dunno how many of them move you a considerable distance

Moves that lift you off the ground exist, so probably?

>>384980161
I actually took a closer look at Kahlt and while it's not a flying one, there's some solid knee attacks in there. And it looks Muay Thai as fuck + hyper armor. I'm in there for all of that so I'll probably just run that a while.
They've shown drunken style already so I wonder what kind of crazy shit is hidden later in the game.

>>384963474
I don't know if it's just the two of you but that looks fucking terrible and I don't know why anyone would play this basic bitch garbage instead of tekken.

>>384979931
We only had access to like a third of the moves in the beta. There was a flying elbow and it was one of the best moves in the game. If there isn't a flying knee in the full game I'll be surprised.

>>384980359
tekken is literally the most basic bitch fighting game you fucking cuc.k

>>384980268
I'll probably play khalt too cus they have a pretty sweet starting boxing setup. Tank some hits and start ducking into mother fuckers, feels good

I'm kind of hoping that it'll be like Dark Souls and still provide a good amount of fun in single player. It does seem like it's taking a fair share of cues from the Souls series
I mean shit, you even change your moves by meditating at what are totally not bonfires

>>384980268
>>384980472
Khalt was pretty weak in the beta but that might just have been because nobody knew what they were doing. There was one really fucking good Khalt player on NA that was stomping dudes but he wasn't nearly as strong as the best guys using Windfall and whatever the Parry style is called.

So is the PVP like Dark Souls in that people can sort of invade your game under specific circumstances or can they just pop up at any time? Or is PVP only limited to certain areas like arenas and shit?

>>384981129
"Seamless" multiplayer is what they said.

>>384981129
You can't get invaded. When you enter an area you get put into an instance with a bunch of other people which I assume is based off of your level and ping. Everyone can run around and fight each other or help each other out in a big free for all inside the instance.

>>384964306
Don't you fucking dare compare this to God Hand you piece of shit

>>384981784
Eh, that's got me kind of nervous to be honest. What's there to stop the game from turning into Day Z where everyone just kills anyone in sight just for shits and giggles? The co-op aspect seems like it'd be kind of pointless if you've got literally no reason to trust anyone not to kill you the second they see you.

>>384982089
you're right, God Hand is much worse, Absolver doesn't deserve to be lumped with such a bad game

besides rolling around with your irl friends like you're a gang from west side story, if you see a random person who has moves you want, you can be come their mentor to use their combat deck as long as you don't betray them

>>384982672
Surprisingly everyone in the beta was really well behaved but that might just be because it was a beta and everyone wanted to test stuff. Regardless the focus of the game is queuing up for 1v1 duels at bonfires so rampant PvP won't be a big problem. You can also opt to just play solo if you want.

Game was really fun in the beta and that was without Australian servers, which are confirmed for launch.

>>384982672
If you kill someone or are killed by another player from what I can tell the loser is booted out of the instance they're currently in and moved to a new one, so they won't encounter their opponent in the world again for at least some time.

PvP is the meta. Why even get the game if you aren't going to PvP? That's like buying Street Fighter or Tekken for the arcade mode.

>>384987773
The potential for fashion is LIMITLESS

Everyone is going to go for the green coat though

>>384980268
Windfall takes inspiration from Tai Chi, Hung Gar and other Chinese arts.
Forsaken looks like kickboxing and similar.
Kahlt is boxing and brawling.
Stagger is Drunken Fist.

>>384980628
My elevator pitch for the game is "Dark Souls meets God Hand." You have the world exploration and PvE/PvP of Dark Souls, and the combo customization and intense fighting of God Hand.

Is this blade symphony 2?

>>384988051
No, because Absolver's combat isn't janky as fuck like Blade Symphony. It's also not strictly FFA arenas; half the game is PVE exploration.

>>384988051
More like Blade Symphony done right.

>>384987867
The concern I have about armor from what someone told me was that heavier armor allows you to take more hits but also reduces not just your mobility but also your damage.
So from the sound of it

Light armor
> Less durability but more mobility and more damage
Heavy armor
> More durability but less mobility and less damage
So then what's the appeal of heavier armor if all it does is turn you into a meaty punching bag for light armor folks?

>>384988090
So improved Blade Symphony with same design?

>>384988420
If you're using Kahlt, the heavier armor nets more use out of your Absorb ability, since you can facetank blows better and walk through an enemy's offense.

theres absolutely no magic to it. i dont want to inevitably become disappointed with the fighting limitations so ill pass.

and it looks like the tight fighting is the biggest selling point. meh. why are indie faggots so deluded

Blade Symphony is mostly sci-fi, while Absolver is fantasy.

I'll wait and see how popular it gets, then decide.

>>384988420
It depends on your moveset. Moves have STR / DEX / Mobility multipliers. Basically moves that look acrobatic or technical usually get bonuses based on your DEX and mobility rating and brawler style stuff gets a lot from STR.

As for the For Honor comparisons, well it's way more technical than FH. The true endgame is making a combat deck that flows well, can adapt to whatever the opponent is doing and stays unpredictable - and also reading the other's decks so you can counter them. It's simple but still pretty deep.

>>384989416
the soft cap is incredibly low though

it's extremely easy to get 20/20 in str/dex which is the soft cap for both. Of course they could change this.

>>384988789

Ah. So, fun?

Yes!

I'm certainly getting Absolver. It looks like a great game and the dev team is very supportive and listen to feedback. I recommed you pick it up as well, it's available on PC and PS4.

looks a bit too basic will probably end up with a fairly low player base

It would have to be better than working at a grocery store bakery from 3AM to 12 PM being ordered around by spics who barely speak English and don't deserve to live in our country wondering why I agreed to take this shitty job and dreaming of the day when I come in and kill every last one of those fucking vermin by forcing them into the oven at gun point and baking them like a batch of hoagies.

They said the rest of the world will feel much larger and that there will be way more moves to learn.

>>384991126

It's still a retarded concept. As I said I LOVED the idea I was so excited to play. Then you just beat mob after mob after mob and by the 8th hour you feel like an empty shell.
Sure you can make a new combo, try out a different set but it get's stale. PVP is trash but if that is your main reason to get this maybe it is for you.

>>384991251
the focus between pvp/pve for the game is like 75/25

it's not a pve game.

>>384991251
This was never the game for you.

>>384956382
oh look another "we have a female lead" game. yawn.

At first glance - everything apart from the art direction and atmosphere looks pretty dull, but then again I haven't looked into this game at all. What's the selling point?

>>384992296

Play your shit game fighting game fags.

>>384992641
>what's the selling point
It's a fully-fledged fighting game where you get to build your entire moveset.

>>384992597
You create your own character and the only non-hostile npc in the beta was a male.

the steam pages main picture for the game is a male and androgynous (probably female) character. I know you're only baiting but at least put some effort in.

>>384992641
The combat? If it doesn't look enjoyable to you then the game won't be, simple as that.

https://youtu.be/ep48jruOzdg?t=837
watch a bit from 14 minutes in, if the time link doesn't work. If you don't think that would be fun than you won't like the game, all there is to it.

>>384992787
Sounds nice in theory, how well does it work?

>>384992843
>Blade Symphony had a nice aesthetic
>Shit on it with meme cosmetics

>>384993042
it works well enough? It's hard to say when the full game isn't out and the beta is no longer accessible (as well as being under NDA).

I could customize my combo chains to do the thing I wanted though (one of them starts off with a hyper armour attack to counter aggressive people, another one has a guard breaker attack easily accessible to it through using heavy attack any time during the combo, etc).

There's going to be about 150 moves in the game. Everyone can learn every move in the game. You have four different stances that are made up of three different moves that chain together. Those are your combos. Each move leads into another stance and you can change stances on the fly. There's a fourth move slot in each stance that you can alternatively use in the middle of any combo.

>>384993042
It works like God Hand. You have four stances (more like orientations), and within each stance, you can set up a single-button combo string (with an alternate attack for each). You learn moves out in the wild, and you piece those moves together into combo strings you want.

Sounds like blade symphony

>>384992787
Looks more like the shitty combat from Remember Me that no one liked.

>>384993528
>>384993583
It's a little more involved than that.

The 'alternate attack' is determined by what type of attack you use it directly after. Certain attacks have certain orientations (i.e. one attack will put you in top right stance, another will put you in bottom left stance, etc).

Say the combo string for your top right stance is Top Right attack > bottom left attack > bottom right attack.

Say you use the alternate attack after the second attack. The alternate attack will be whatever the alt. attack in your bottom left stance is. Continuing to attack with standard attacks will initiate the bottom left stance combo.

Say you didn't use an alternate attack, and just kept pressing standard attack. Using the same combo from up you would go Top right combo (Top right attack, bottom left attack, bottom right attack) and since the final attack is a bottom right attack, continuing to attack will progress through the Bottom Right stance combo, etc.

this is really annoying to explain without having dedicated names for each stance.

It was mostly custom swords from games and anime, popular are well done mostly

>>384993703
It works pretty similarly to Blade Symphony but there's a lot more depth to the mechanics. You have a limited amount of stamina to use for attacking and defending that needs to be managed constantly. You can feint whenever you want which is important at high level play. All the characters have different defensive options that can punish your opponent if they make a mistake or if you can predict their next move. Certain moves will cause you to avoid different kinds of attacks or interrupt your opponent.

There's probably more to the game than that given we only had a few days to play around with a limited moveset.

>>384956382
It looks neat and I want to play it, but I'll wait for reviews before I decide. The combat system sounds interesting but maybe too complicated for my tiny brain.

>>384994107
Still sounds like blade symphony with its stances hierarchy: light>medium>heavy>air>light, feints, counters and knife throws

>>384994332
Each stance had its own style of swordgrip and you could judge what stance to use for countering

>>384993703
Not really, since there's no changing strengths or combos on the fly (apart from using your alternate attack to vary your strings).

>>384967172
What happens when redditors try to fit in

>>384994332
Blade symphony's combat was retarded though

>move left to do left attacks
>move forward to do different attacks

that shit is so just.. not innovative at all

>>384956382
Totally not a shill

>>384956382
PS4 is the safest bet, any game that isn't an esport dies within the first two months on PC. If by some miracle it ends up living a long time on PC you can always get it cheap as hell on sale, and also it's launching on GoG so a pirated copy will be up the day of launch

>>384995205
I'm curious. What's the correct way to start a thread about an upcoming game without being a shill?

>>384995921
There isn't one if you aren't negative about it

Gb2reddit if you want to discuss games you look forward to

>>384995125
Isnt that also in /v's beloved mount and blade? Also chivalry utilizes scroll forward and backward for pokes.

I just want to be a cute female masked martial artist.

>tfw lied to

>>384994552
Given there is like 6 slots per stance and you can use alternate attacks as their own combos, the potential to mix shit up is pretty huge

The PvP is entirely based around your ability to adapt around a moveset

>>384997535
You must have been in the unlucky 0.000%

My apologies

>Isnt that also in /v's beloved mount and blade?
Mountain Blade (optionally) uses mouse movement for different attacks, not character movement.

Isnt any fighting game uses direction from d-pad or stick + attack button?

>>384997791
Nah I was in the discord and literally everyone got in, you just got real unfortunate

>>384997817
Sure but in fighting games 90% of the time the forward movement is a deliberate cost of a specific input, or you are inputting the attack during a situation where you can't move anyway, like blockstun or jumping or attacking already.

Pretty hyped for it,reminds me a lot of tekken.

Depends on how much of a difference you'll be able to get out of it performance wise and graphically on PC compared to PS4. If it's not much then get the PS4 version for more players, but if it is then PC.

Apparently you can create school of martials art and you'll be able to use the four style in game to create your own little personal style, creating school will allow you to teach your own style to other player.

>>384999825
That's the mentor system. If you're a high enough level, you can take other players on as your students, and they can use your combat deck as their own. They will learn moves at an accelerated rate from you.

>>384999825
>cookie-cutter meta builds

>>384999937
It's cool as fuck, i always wanted a game that could satisfy my hand-to-hand combat love.

>>384999939
Most people won't know how to use styles they haven't personally created, so whatever dumb meta exists out there chance is it will be trash

>>385000119
the current meta is Parry >>> Avoid > Absorb

>>385000119
I know it feels cliche to say, but this is one of those rare games where the best deck in the game really is the one that you make yourself. Only you are most familiar with your own deck, since you know exactly what you put into it. It's on you to tweak it to make it the best deck it can be for you.

>>385000258
Mostly because shitters haven't learned to feint yet. Parries are easy no doubt but they won't shape every single aspect of how people play

>>385000427
i don't see what feint has to do with parry. The recovery time on a failed parry is short enough to either parry again or block whatever attack you follow up the feint with.

I feel that way about feint in general, the only way i see current feint being useful is trying to bait your enemy into using haymaker to hyper armour your feinted attack and then parrying them. Any defensive action your opponent takes in regards to your feinted attack is quick enough to take another defensive action to any follow up attacks.

>>385000608
No, it isn't

Maybe if you're doing some retarded shit like feinting into a slow move from the same direction, assuming you have your wits about you do you aren't doing that

>>385000427
Playing as a Forsaken during the closed beta and knowing that you can parry left or right, it made me very conscious of my combat deck and how often my attacks come from one side or another. You don't want your attacks to be too consistent or predictable, because when that happens, the Forsaken fighter will parry your shit and blow you out.

>>385000608
For what it's worthin, feinting an attack lets you skip to the next step in your combo chain.

>>385001125
I like how the styles promoted that sort of thinking

When I was playing with absorb I started getting more aware of how good of an access I have to short or heavy hits, and then with windfall how many of them had a high or low profile or could catch people dodging sideways, there's a lot of fun puzzle solving involved.
