I'll probably still get this. It looks like what I wanted For Honour to be.

>>387219431

I thought it was a cheap For Honor ripoff. Not that it is an entirely negative statement

dedicted servers or are we getting a for honoe shitfest?

>>387219779
>>387219752
aside from being a melee focused pvp game i don't see why it gets compared to for honor so much.

it doesn't feel remotely similar

devolver is publisher. sloclap is developer

>>387219907
saying it's not like for honor isn't supposed to be a positive statement it's just correcting some stupid observations

it's like saying dragon's dogma looks like dark souls or call of duty looks like red orchestra, they're only vaguely similar

>>387220070
>call of duty looks like red orchestra
>play pretty much the same way, one is just faster

thanks for agreeing with me, i guess

What's the difference between the Stagger style and the others 3. Do you pick it up in the middle of the story instead of choosing it at the beginning like the other?

>>387219693
been cautiously about this since i first saw it here a few months ago. been following it since then but didn't get in to the beta SAD.
heard the beta was recieved pretty well and decided to preorder.
now we're getting closer to release and i've gotta admit i'm pretty hype.
i'm gonna try and post a single thread daily and move it to /vg/ when closer to relase

>>387220246
The first three are what you choose between at the start. Stagger is found later on

>>387220386

Wait, what the fuck is your objective? If you want the game to be well received on /v/, make regulars threads on /v/ and hopefully people who play it or who are interested in it will post here. If you want the opposite spam it on differents threads all week.

Going to /vg/ will just kill the community because no one goes to /vg/ to check out new games, and if you want new players to discover the game you should stick to /v/. The game is already niche so I doubt it'll get more than one thread going at once.

Autists cry that every game should move to /vg/ once the game is discussed two days in a row but most threads turn into shit there.

There are 4 stater fighting styles. Why do you keep making these threads suggesting there are only 3 starting styles?

I'm going to start with the Stagger step style. Maybe the Windfall though too.

I wonder why the developers want to limit their audience so severely by only going to PC & PS4 though? As a PC gaymur I'd like to see it on the Xbox as well, especially with cross play since Sony is against it.

Oh well.

Take out the PVP and the game might be ok, but lets be honest, thats what the dev is counting on carrying the game because there sure as fuck isn't going to be any story or replayability outside of "lets see if I can beat random player xyz over there hyuck hyuck"

I saw this a long time ago and thought it looked pretty awful, though I guess it was just a shitty taste left in my mouth from For Honor because now after playing more fighting games, it looks like a pretty cool variation on tekken. Not what I'm used to, but I'm actually a little excited now.
Stagger > windfall > kahlt > forsaken
parries are either braindead easy and boring pieces of shit or horrible gambles, anybody using forsaken is either a massive fag or new
kahlt are cool guys who don't afraid of anything and big guys
windfall is where the real unga bunga champs are and they're the funnest to play with
stagger is cool dudes ONLY and stylish as fuck

>>387225001
Actually so far it is pretty precise to what you see with actual martial arts. What you saw maybe just begining martial arts. It probably gets more complicated the more techniques you learn.

Even with something as niche as this you don't dictate the discussion on it. People will make threads themselves to discuss the game and it if its popularity warrants it they'll move over to /vg/ themselves, trying to force such a thing ahead of time will only hurt the game and people trying to talk about it here.

Is this like a multiplayer vs only thing or is it an actual rpg like jade empire but with coop and versus modes?

They said there'll be more styles to discover, those four are just what you have out of the gate.

>>387227185
There's a campaign you play through. While progressing through the story you can encounter other players who are doing the same.
You can choose to coöp or fight eachother.
You can also turn online off and play the campaign offline.
There's matchmaking for 1v1 duels.

It's more open world than most open world games today, yes. Open worlds have mostly become the new linear game, except they put linear sections side by side in a big world to make it seem like you have freedom, even though every single mission is linear as fuck.

Not preordaining won't stop you getting it on release, the only advantage is whatever bonuses they tack onto the preorder. GOG has furi as an extra so you'd be off the hook if you preordered it from there.

>Try honing skills in multiplayer
>Keep getting better and better
>Come to a point where you're not learning anything anymore and the game becomes boring because it's either like a flowchart or the only part of the game that is remotely challenging is the pure competition and not the game mechanics itself

It's incorrect to compare the game to For Honor, as the core mechanics are different. The better comparison is to God Hand, since you're building your own combo strings and alt attacks ahead of time with whatever moves you know instead of using a preset specific to a given character.

>>387219507
Wow I had played this at pax and i though maybe the problems were unintentional. When against another player some of their attacks rotate you and your and it's super finicky to start facing the correct direction. Game felt really stiff in general.

>>387231907
I realized that I needed something I could 'work on' and I realized that games gave me that goal.

Only, after a while the 'working towards' is no longer there because you've essentially mastered games so they become meaningless and that depressed me because I finally thought I had found something that could give me a source of accomplishment.

This really is with all things; learning to play the piano, bodybuilding, basically all things that have an 'end goal' are meaningless once you have achieved that end goal.

Now here's the kicker; I realized that I don't need accomplishment. What I really needed was a sense of belonging; I could say "Hey, look guys, I finally achieved something. Don't I deserve praise?"

>>387232027
wasnt this said in one of their early gameplay videos, that only the tutorial is offline and the actual game is complete online?

but thats good to read

It could use some polish but I like the concept of what I've seen.

>>387232097
>super finicky to start facing the right direction
what

the orientation of the character shows what stance they're in, you don't need to face the enemy. Two of the stances will have you looking over your shoulder at them.

>>387232160
>wasnt this said in one of their early gameplay videos

>>387232387
No problem.

Godspeed.

The hits don't really look solid. Characters look like theyre getting gently pushed in one direction instead of getting hit. Looks like it could be fun though.

>>387232783
the audio and visual effects of hits are extremely solid and are one of the things that appeal most about the game to me

Looks like Jade Empire but with versus

When they talked about the move deck building system I though it was going to be more like god hand and so far it looks like their are no bosses and the enemy design is trash. Then I heard it was all geared towards multiplayer and lost all interest.

>>387234995

Does a boss have to be twice your size and have predictable 3 swing combos to be qualified as one?

You have your standard humanoid enemy type with almost no differences.

What are the bosses like? Are there monsters or is this just humans punching each other in the wild.

I'm not saying that's a bad thing, trailers show only humans from what I've seen.

>>387235262
No you have your standard humanoid with completely different movesets and a far higher proficiency in their defensive abilities.

This isn' the witcher, stop being a retard.

>>387235395
It's a beatum up game with shit enemy variety.

>>387235381

a controller will be a big plus because you seem to change stances with the right analog stick. the steam controller is kinda dumb though, don't own one and wasn't in the beta so idk. not sure if online is server based or p2p but I think it comes down to how many people play it near you

Yes and no

technically stance changes are easier sure, but changing stances isn't actually something you should be doing very frequently. As an occasional mixup yeah, but not in the middle of combat, your strings should naturally flow through all the stances without the analog stick input.

PVP is the point lul

Changing stances isn't just done with the flick of a stick for the record. You have to hold a button to change stances.

Also keyboard controls are alright but I think this game is more comfterable with a controller.

Why am I so hyped to literally punch pve fags faces in?

>>387238797
because it will be an "okay" game at worst with a reasonable pricetag

>>387238797
cus it feels good

my goal is the end a fight in a double KO where we both fly opposite directions before I finish the campaign

because men crave to beat the shit out of things and that's not allowed in our nu-male society so we get excited for games that let us beat the shit out of things
