Absolver

this game is gonna be just as DoA as lawbreakers

>>387925768
>a game with a singleplayer component will be DoA
Who gives a fuck you memespouting fag

>>387926608
the singleplayer component is essentially playing against bots. It's a multiplayer focused game, don't get it twisted.

>>387926608
So for honor isn't dead and is still worth buying because it has a campaign, then?

>>387927128
A quality comparison by a quality shitposter, your next move is to say "the meta will be shit too"

>>387927020
No, its an actual world with exploration and leveling up involved

Sounds in the game are awful tho. Its like someone is kicking footballs at the goal repeatedly.

did anyone catch the devolver digital stream today on twitch? they did a boss and some 1v1.

>>387927593
Aren't they just wooden figures running around and slapping each other though?

What game is this?

>>387927669
They've been streaming absolver for forever now, plenty of vods if you want more intel

>>387927697
Fair point. But better ambient music wouldnt hurt, especially during the fights.

>>387927593
>watch this, I am going to call the widely regarded positive as shit
>did I do good mother, am I a /v/ troll now

>>387925419
There will never be a 3D game with good combat compared to fighting games from almost 20 years ago. For Honor, DMC, Bayo, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Nioh, M&B, Chivalry, MGR, etc... they're just absolutely garbage.

>>387927850
indie version of for honor DOA

>>387925419
I'm just hoping the dev support will be good and bring the game to its full potential.

>>387925768

I'm not trolling. I played every game I mentioned there quite a bit, and they're literally garbage compared to a fighting game.

>>387928408
A lot of stuff can't be gauged until real server stress and a bunch of retarded humans are applied

The core mechanics seem great, but how will they be handled in the hands of your average shmuck? What playstyles will people tend towards?

>>387928408
not really

for honor looked pretty good but then it turned out the playtesting was done by shitters so the fighting mechanics were goddamn terrible at high level play

this game looks very good to me, but i know not to get my hopes up in 2017

>>387928408
>>387928564
If you look at reviews on steam, it clearly takes a lot of people hundreds of hours of play time to decide they don't like a game.

>>387928564
Game runs on P2P, no servers.

I played it at GDC, it was neat

>>387928679
P2P means nothing, it can be handled poorly or well. Only on /v/ do you have people throwing around P2P as a characteristic of its own.

>What playstyles will people tend towards?
The one that wins

Give it a week, a bunch of autists will test everything to death and will find the best and most optimal moves/strategies, which then are posted somewhere as "builds" and copied by people with no imagination or desire to experiment

>>387928852
Its the post TORtanic era of /v/, every game is DOA now ignore the shitflinging autismos

>>387927324
im not a shitposter but expect the meta to be shit t- NANI???

>>387928847
Hopefully well, they claim its very stable for now, as it only supports 3 players per instance.

>>387928912
Thing is this game's fights are all based around predictability. To look up movelists and deny yourself the element of surprise is simply shooting yourself in the foot

>>387928912
and then i'll do what i usually do in games that allow customization, which is use some weird homebrew build that is technically inferior than the flavor of the month build, but is never played so almost no one knows how to play against it, giving me ez victories

>>387927426
Devs said the world would take 30 minutes to run through if you knew the way.

>>387929063
I think there is a 3v3 gamemode which is where the netcode will be actually tested. The beta seemed to indicate that it's decent but who knows how release will look like.

>can't make your character a loli

What's the point

Windfall -> Stagger
Any other plebs need not reply

Have they given a number as to how many items there are? Like clothing and weapons, I mean.

This is what decides whether I buy the game or not, I want to make a badass looking mofo.

>>387929131
That's the case for most games if you ignore the enemies you cum guzzling slut.
>wow wtf dark souls only takes an hour if I just sprint past the game who made this

>>387929302
I think they have a customization video that gives a number of total combinations, using math you can probably deduce the amount of items for each slot.

>>387929371
I'd love to see you run through the entirety of Dark Souls in an hour.

>>387929223
I think 3v3 and 2v2 is Arena mode, but yea, it will be tested. There was a talk about 4 player instances for open world but probably in the future if the games proves its stable.

>>387929092
>>387929123
It's not the game's fault, it's just what happens with any competitive multiplayer game, but everyone know all too well that you'll be seeing the exact same shit all over once people figure it out

not that anon though, i honestly don't give a shit how big the world is as long as the game is fun and works

>>387929724
>any% is running through the entire map
You're incredibly dumb.

>>387929697
The moment people figure it out it stops working is the point. There will probably be like a best 30 moves, but if you combo whole strings you will simply eat shit since you become infinitely more avoidable.

i know senpai, i've played enough shitty assfaggots, brawlers and MMORPGs in my life to know that most people just pick the easiest way to win. it's a lot of fun to beat those people

i played blade & soul pvp while underleveled and still managed to reach the top 100 or so of my class in the entire EU region or something. at the time, blademaster was considered the shitty joke class too, so i was playing at a massive handicap against people just grinding out easy wins with summoners and stuff

They said you can run through the whole map so I think it's safe to assume they mean the whole map

So which starting fighting style are we going with?
Forsaken: parry
Kahlt: abosrb
Windfall: Dodge

I'm not sure if I want forsaken or windfall, but I feel as if everyone is gonna go windfall

>>387931791
forsaken and windfall seem to effectively do the same thing but windfall has the slight mobility and it's tougher because 4 directions to dodge instead of 2 for parry

>on-rails, auto lock-on, low tickrate console port 3D fighting game with noticeable delay and net rollbacks
Who gives a shit, it will have marginally better netcode than dark souls 3 but none of the charm or variety that game offers, while still having P2P only.

Rock of Ages 2 is also coming out in 6 days, your money will be much better spent on a game that's actually fun

they put in drunken master style which looks amazing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctnDYbVkphU

where's my fucking hung gar fighting style tho? i want to go hung gar bearmode

maybe in the future, or the dlc, or the sequel i guess.

>>387932929
>but none of the charm or variety that game offers
simple duelling, 100% honorable, no ranged, sounds like a great game IMO. all the different moves and customisation options seem to offer plenty of variety. and the bionicle masks are charming.

I want the creepy multi eye mask.
But mask just make me think of blade symphony which was a great game while it was alive. Shame devs didn't support it more

>>387925419
The beta was fucking terrible so I have no hope for this game.

>>387933121
I hope it works out for you bud, but I don't have high hopes seeing how the community at large as been enabling devs to get away with unforgivably bad P2P netcode over the last decade. Think marginally better than dark souls 3, but the same anti-consumer cheapskate technology that consolefags think is normal. I'll be having fun rolling boulders into castles while spamming moonbase alpha text to speech in roa2, should you change your mind.

>>387934325
Rock of ages 1 was meh and 2 doesn't look much better dude.

Bullshit, the devs are obviously fags.

>>387925419
Looks boring as hell.

so whats the primary platform for this game?

seems like pc is beta testing, but ps4 is main platform and will have more players and no hackers/ griefers

just spent the last hour watching Northernlion stream his press copy, all combat was just mash X, bosses were "Mash X until mobs spawn, lifedrain them, resume mashing X".

In terms of style the game looks great but the combat isn't actually as deep as people seem to be claiming unfortunately, he was beating well known esports streamers just with X spam.

what's the difference between this and for honor?

>>387935413
there are also other factors liek optimization, future content/ dlc, and stuff

>>387935229
For Honour is primarily a matchmade team battlegrounds lobby simulator, this is primarily a solo getting good journey.

>>387934528
Bull fucking shit, roa1 can be called many things but "meh" just isn't one of them, it had too much in the bells and whistles department even if you didn't like it. The absolver on the other hand will not be spared that label if it continues not to surprise us with anything.

>>387933448
Oh please, it's no chivalry or mount&blade, it's on-rails as fuck. Has more in common with tekken than any game with actual control freedom.

Not all of us are faggots who need to emote, dark souls has less, so does journey

Did you preorder for that cool outfit and shit mask?

What I find stupid is that characters sometimes literally give their backs to the opponents. It would be way better if they kept standing in the normal stance and then changed the stance only for a brief moment before the blow.

>>387942293
>t. player who has never looked up anything about the game

It's annoying as fuck when literally every thread about a new game has some fuck spouting "ded gaem" in the first few posts.

>>387941813
funny you should say that, this is the one game where the shill argument doesn't work because it's blatant that devolver digital is spending 0 money on marketing

>>387942724
with that said, i'm going to shill the fuck out of this game for free because it looks like the closest thing to anarchy reigns on PC and i don't want it to be DoA in this shitty oversaturated market

There is a stance dance in this game, which depending on the way you are looking top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right changes your move set. You choose to switch up your stances to change up combos.

Holy shit don't just watch gameplay videos at least watch shit explaining the combat

>>387935156
You literally can't mash in the game though.

>>387943142
I'm not saying that I don't know about it, I'm just saying that it looks fucking stupid since literally no one would turn their back on a fight with someone willingly.

>>387942908
That looks fucking retarded.
Well I actually lost interest.

>>387943152
well you can, you just won't get rewarded for it

him winning against people by mashing just implies his opponents were horseshit

call me when they make a VR 3d fighting game where you control your character with special gloves and shoes like fighting irl but u just punch the air
would be neat

>>387943318
Are you really going to nitpick the plausibility of fantasy drunken martial arts in a videogame?

Lets see if it will have even less players than Lawbreakers in 2-3 weeks.

I saw it in the Gigantic threads and I'm seeing it here, and it doesn't stop being obnoxious.

There are some nerds playing it right now on twitch but the game seems boring as fuck.

>>387952430
literally all the fun in this game happens before the fighting: building your combat deck, messing around with moves and optimizing. getting a new move and seeing what works and doesn't. it's like in RPGs where all the fun is optimizing a party of characters.

>>387952430
They are just bad at the game to do anything proper.
Was watching this one guy "fighting cowboy" I think and all the nigga did was spam the parry button. Nigga put in some combos and do soem work, not this stupid shit.

Either way some games feel better to play than they are to watch. Something like hotline miami for example is terrible to watch and boring as fuck but playing is entirely different.

They are also mostly fighting bots as well since barely anyone has the game so the opponents are stupid. Which I am saddened by the fact the AI seems to be completely moronic. I hope its some sort of scaling AI where the higher level you are the higher the difficulty
