Absolver

Where is the preload? Game is releasing in 10 hours.

no preload, its supposed to release at 4pm?

North America Canada here.

Just finished playing a bit. It's alright. I went with the dodge style, but I think I'm gonna reroll with the power armor style.

Definitely a learning curve. I'd be down to get gud if anyone wants to join up later on this week

played in closed beta, hopefully they removed that shitty donut map so no other player will suffer through that ever again

worth 30 bucks for the pvp alone

How's optimization? My piece of shit laptop has an Intel HD Graphics 4600 onbard card and 12 gb of ram.

>>388601536
if ur looking to win dont go power armor gets baited and promotes getting hit which is bad

parry is top tier for counterattacking

windfall is most fun

cant speak for stagger style tho

What platform are you getting it on?
ps4 checking in

>>388601704
That's a lot of ram for a rig with integrated graphics.

>>388599481
>Where the fuck are the servers?

All indications point to it being a p2p game. In their FAQ, the devs basically gave a non-answer regarding dedicated servers.

>>388601783

I went 'dodging' I think that's windfall. Fuck parrying.

>>388601894
I'm talking about the lack of ability to sign in

>>388602475
oh, authentication servers, my bad.

no idea my dude.

>>388601750
I can't fucking git gud at parries. 90% of the time I either throw it too soon or the other person attacks so fast I can't get it out fast enough.

This game gives no visual cues for anything, it's horrid. Every attack comes out lighting quick save a few.

>>388603092
It's called prediction.

>>388603092
Because in a fight people wont hold your hand, the visual cues are stances and logical motions

>>388603092
its literally right or left try windfall then you will know what suffering is.

side note: i mostly only dodged left or right and won 80% of my fights if i can do it you can too

>no visual cues
what stance theyre in is the biggegst indicator of what is coming up. it may be difficult to figure out an opponent's moveset with alternate attack mixups but it literally just gets easier with experience.

each stance can only lead to a maximum of 6 moves and 5 combos and each player is likely to have their own preferred combo and mixup. the sooner you figure this out the better chance you will have of successful parries

bad players will only attack using flow which gets super predictable since itll mostly be comprised of .3-.4 speed low damage moves and theyll likely finish with a heavy attack when their stamina gets low. to deal with this instead of holding block down the entire time tap it in time with the hit so you can regen stamina and youll be able to keep it up forever or if youre a bitch you can use the shockwave skill to interrupt a flow combo

good players know the timing for most moves and will block like i said above or use their class skill accordingly so your spacing has to be good and you have to fight without a set rhythm

sources: i put 40+ hours into the closed beta and and was one of the top windfall players at the time

ps. healing and using weapons during fights are for fags without muh honor

>>388604134
>each stance can only lead to a maximum of 6 moves and 5 combos

forgot to mention a good fight deck will actually be able to flow through all stances but you get the idea

I bought it for steam.
Servers are region locked, but not really.
I am going windfall at start but changing to stagger once I hit level 30. Playing with 2 friends so the pve content should go by with a breeze.

>>388604317
So what's the PVE content consist of? Is there like an actual main quest line kind of thing or do you just sort of wander around fighting NPCs?

>>388604507
Why you asking me? I mean I know everything so I will tell you, bnut still bad choice.

Main story is hey you are a shitter, go beat up a ton of people till you aren't a shitter and then you will be one of the leaders of the land. So you put on the mask and then go and fight all the bosses of single player and boom you are done.
PVE is just fight normal enemies, I do wish there were nonhuman enemies but nope not the case.

>>388604638
If you know everything I have a question that will not spoil the game for me.
Can you miss out on content? As if let's say I'm just a run straight to boss kind of guy, is there anything I'll miss except attacks and items from basic npcs?

>>388603587
>It's called prediction.
That's big talk and all but this game has a billion moves and many of them can be set to different stances.
The servers are also shit and still not up so I'm stuck with AI that can't be mind-game'd.

>>388603857

Calm down edgelord it's a video game.

>>388604134
A game where the only way to out-play an opponent is to just simply play so much that you've burned everything into your memory is not good game design.

I guess Absolver really was made for the FGC.

>ps. healing and using weapons during fights are for fags without muh honor
Don't care, if you attack me without my consent you already have no honor. I bet you don't drink when you get invaded in Dark Souls, too.

If I go out of my way to fight I won't heal, but if I'm busy and someone tries to stall my progress I'll use everything at stake to stop them.

>A game where the only way to out-play an opponent is to just simply play so much that you've burned everything into your memory is not good game design.

Sounds like a game where victory is determined by skill and learning with the game's mechanics. How is that a problem?

i wish this game had the mobility of kung fu movies. or any at all.

>>388605734

pattern recognition is intuitive and not exclusively gained from hours played

>>388605607
There is only one thing you can miss out on which is stagger style if you run from boss to boss. Equipment, items, fighting moves you can miss out on and most part recover but stagger style only thing you can truly miss out on. Really no difference though from rushing straight to end vs taking your time.

>>388606880
windfall double dodge will get you behind a locked on opponent as well as getting the right combo made can close distances very quickly

also break lock on and sprint is viable

That fucking blows.

I was hoping the fighting styles would be something other than "Slight variation of generic kung fu"

>>388607419
youll find more than just kung fu styles in the game, ive seen

ones ive recognized from the closed beta beyond kung-fu are muay thai, taekwondo, karate and boxing and obviously drunken boxing with the stagger style.

if you were thinking more mma style with grappling and ground work that really doesnt seem like the dev's intentions so dont expect that stuff any time soon

What does the "Damage by Attack Style" mean on weapons? Does that mean it does more to certain styles or that certain styles do more with those weapons?

>>388607780
the latter

Looks worse than For Honor

>>388608112
graphically, probably

mechanically, no

desu i'd rather there be a lack of visual cues and actual blows being reasonably traded, compared to when perfect play means no hits can be made unless a player slips their finger and/or being juggled to death

>>388608215
Looks about the same mechanically. Boring 10 minute fights.

Have you ever read/watched the thing?

>>388611414
how does absorb work?

>>388611758
Consider it a "poise on demand" button, plus the extra of the damage you get hit for being recoverable if you hit the opponent first afterwards.

Are there any other weapons aside from swords? I'd like to shove a stick up people's assholes.

>>388611832
Stick is coming out someday, only glove weapons are the other option for now.

>>388611829
>>388611758
So like armored moves from fighting games. It makes you Zangief.

>>388611878
Alright, thanks for the info.

>>388611893
Sort of, you can't attack during the animation, so your job is to make sure your poise runs out exactly after the opponents attack collides with you. That way you get the most of their recovery to fuck their shit up.

In that regard, khalt is the hardest defensive ability to time to use efficiently.

>>388612002
Absorb is a little hard to time yeah but holy shit I hit like a truck. Each fight is like a thousand little needles. I'm sometimes suprised of how much I can take.

I was really interested so I preordered because why not 10% off and all, and then the devs backtracked and said no Aus servers at launch after all and I am very likely to refund it tomorrow after playing for a bit if I find it unplayable. Which is a shame, because I was looking for something new multiplayer to enjoy.

True, but look at For Honor, with it's massive marketing, shilling, streams and shit. The servers were shit, but that didn't matter, since it made a ton of dosh.
Absolver has that too, but on a much smaller scale, since they are a smaller studio. And since majority of the content is online, they'll need stable servers, which are much harder to maintain without proper funding.

I am all for Absolver succeeding, but am also afraid about it's longevity.

>>388619068
"Experience" is just a fucking meme term

>>388619283
Shit that's the best argument you presented so far

Just got it for ps4, played it a bit. It's ok. Pve is meh but do-able. Just fell out of bounds through some bridge and i had shut down the game. Word of advice, you can fall of anything and your attack lock you in an animation. I've died 6 times or so already purely by falling off cliffs and edges while not being able to do anything because i was in an attack animation.
Pvp doesn't differentiate between levels or gear so play a bit before you do it because you'll do 0 dmg and die pretty fast if you go up against someone who's a higher level.

>>388620218
coordination and conditioning is what you do when you dye your hair fag

So as a leaf I haven't gotten the release yet.

>Khalit
I AM THE MACHINE
>Forsaken
?????
>Stagger
Memers

>>388620303
yeah, you can skip the part where you learn complicated inputs and can go straight to doing the things the game is actually about.

Also it's obviously way more free form than Tekken

>>388620329
Pretty much that. Forsaken is balanced with a focus on strenght moves. So the most basic of basic styles but it's nice and balanced.

Hey! Hey! HEY!

So what do you spend time doing in this game? Ive heard the story mode is about 6 hours or so. What is there to do after?

>>388621592
PvP
the story mode is basically a tutorial where you pick up moves for your combat deck

>>388622185
Not him, but people have been streaming this game in early access for a while now. Some people have like 100+ hours, and the general consensus is that parry gives you the most reward.

Refunded it since there's no OCE servers. If they're not in place within a few days I'll just skip it.

Was really looking forward to it too.

For the price there just isn't enough content. Most people will be bored of it within a week and we'll see the death spiral of players being driven away because there's nobody else to play with.

I just wanna practice and get good. The learning curve is apparent, and its tough to figure out the flow of stances and shit and which ones are actually useful At least for me right now.

Gonna put some time into it and see what happens.

>For the price there just isn't enough content
man, from everything this game has to offer, price is alright, they couldn't go for 40$ because only blizzard could pull that shit for a multiplayer only game with no content and suffer no consequences from it. But its less then 30 bucks, its fine.

but i bet they would get so much more using regular nowdays goycrates method, go f2p with skins and bullshit with steamtrading, no paywall + low specs requirement thanks to aesthetic graphics, they would just swim in money, and it will prolong game's lifespan for years

>>388625137
>what is fighting games genre
you wont be missed

>>388625137
Theres supposedly a 3v3 in the works
They shouldve held out until this was finished. If For Honor taught us anything its that casual gamers like game modes personal contribution means little to the end result

>>388625523
With stats and skill customisation they are clearly not positioning it as a traditional fighting game

>>388625310

It took me about 4, maybe 5 hours to beat the story mode. And that's because I was slow to learn/not good. The PvE is lackluster once you hit the end game which leaves too much reliance on PvP. I'm sure that's fine for fighting game fans but for most gamers, it's not a very big or long game considering the price. $20 is more like it and only then if you really like the fighting style.

Okay so they need to fix this shit quick. Frame drops in a "fighting game" is fucking terrible, I don't get how they did not see this coming.

If they just fixed the online this would be great, but I find myself TELIPORTING from one side the the other whenever I press a button.

So fix the online, and add more shit because this is a fun game.

Can someone explain how this region lock works?

Also, where are the servers locations?

Haven't played it myself, but what I do know of the game is that there's already a meta with the fast attacking character where you basically spam moves so quick you're nearly unblockable. Don't go with any other class but the quickest one if you want to be viable in PvP.

>devolver digital
No matter what they make or publish it's always, always mediocre shit with not enough content

>>388627764

better yet , there is a move that is basically a slap, slap people until they learn their lesson

>>388627859
Everyone can learn every move, your starting choice only affects what defensive ability/basic moves you start out with.

>>388627474
Oh no. Barely functioning netcode in a 3rd person fighting game.

>>388627949
I'm talking about the agility character though. The one that can duck and jump.

>>388627859
Make a deck that stacks slow, strong moves that have super armor and equip heavy armor. Then just sit there and trade hits with the fast attacking enemy. You will do a ton more damage to them than they do to you.

>>388628031
>your starting choice only affects what defensive ability/basic moves you start out with

Superarmor moves are not khalt exclusive, everyone can learn them and they seem to be very meta so far, dex fags really can't compete with damage or sheer utility. There are very little double hit moves or moves fast enough to get through hyperarmor together with very low basic hp of dexfags you always trade in plus.

Okay devolver, you listening? P2p does not work. Get servers. This shit is not okay. I am fucking dropping frames real hard. Dropping frames in a "fighting game" is retarded.

Fast travel. I mean you fucking aperate whenever you come back to life, just use the same animation for fast travel. Those stone things are like the ideal thing to warp to and from.

First are most important though, fix the online this is fcking retarded, I don't like being teliported from one side to the other because I pressed a button that wasn't even dodge. On a game where reading your opponents moves (and having a style that requires you to TIME WITH YOUR OPPONENTS ATTACKS TO DEFLECT) this is just unplayable.

It is enjoyable offline but I would like to be able to play the game you intended, a create your own character 3D fighter. Well I'm playing it. I preordered it. You now how guaranteed money in your pockets, so guarantee me that you'll be updating it, and MAKING IT PLAYABLE ONLINE.

More moves, more clothes, more animations, more. If you want this game to stay alive you fucking update it with content like your lives depend on it.

Solve those things and you got yourself a working game that's fun and will keep me playing more.

>>388630594
Right stick is in charge of the defensive ability, but the dodge mechanic is universal to everyone. Think of windfalls avoid as a more close proximity dodge that gives you more time to counter-attack as well as recovering your stamina.

still rising, don't think it would break 20k (hopefully it does though)

>>388635000
This is just a starting point, but here is a piece of advice on how you could potentially design your moveset

Make your top two stances loop into each other with just two attacks, make them quick and basic, and then make everything else loop to be specialized against a certain type of opponent.

So for example bottom left stance could involve a guard break so you can loop top left and bottom left against tanky opponents, or a wide speed for people fond of dodging sideways. It doesn't have to be exactly that way but try to think in that manner.

Does PS4 Pro boost the framerate at all?

Yes, I actually have one.

Just fucking play a real fighting game already

I've only seen gameplay footage, and it looks alright to me but one thing has been a bit of a point of contention for me is the character animation.
It just looks a bit rusty, janky and snappy? I dunno, i just have vague buzzwords to describe it.
Do y'all think they're good enough to not be an annoyance in gameplay?

How do I tell what stats influence what attacks?
It says mobility, strength, dex influence different attacks but I can't tell which is which

>>388635519
For sure

I think the snap you're seeing is people occasionally being in "flow", which speeds up animations when timed correctly

If you have to change stance at any part that means you already fucked up your deck

Nigga what? Fuck thank god I have a gamepad. Fuck atleast let use rekeybind.

Jesus Christ I love retards that think like this
>What the fuck, this low budget indie game with almost no marketing doesn't have 1 million players like call of duty, battlefield, or overwatch? This shit is gay as fuck and DEAD

surely you weren't expecting PUBG on launch day?

>>388637068
Not everyone enjoy using a controller to play games, I fucking hate to put it on my lap or on the side everytime I want to type to my friends; gets old really fast.

>>388637104
Stance switching isnt' something you're suppose to do in the middle of combos, you seem to have basic misconceptions from what I can only assume is thinking for honor's stance system works anything like this one, the key binds are more than adequate.

>>388637179
this game has less players than lawbreakers and battleborn on day one. nice damage control though, enjoy your dead game :^)

>>388637659
I don't think you understand, not everyone has a QWERTY keyboard;
On AZERTY the "Q" key is to go left and the "Z" key is to go forward.

Making this whole fucking game unplayable on KB+M if you're from France or some shit.

>>388637826
it has been out for less than 2 hours on PC with no ability to preload it

I still think it will die but looking at player numbers now is retarded

>>388637982
Holy shit what a fuck up.

filled my deck with dick shattering kicks, seems to be working out pretty well, the second I parry someone i'm taking a pretty hefty chunk

>>388637982
That can't potentially be true as the developers are from France. Did you confirm this yourself or are you shitposting?

>>388637826
Lawbreakers had a peak of 7 thousand

Do you eat shit

>>388638187
I'm french, playing the game right now and experiencing this bullshit.
If mixtape.moe is still a thing I'll make a video (no idea how to make a webm)

>>388638397
This doesn't excuse the developers but I think you can do key binds in big picture mode on steam

How much will do I need for the next shard?

>>388638297
>Do you eat shit

no but I know you do because you bought absolver

See for yourself.

I'll look into that, thanks.

>torrenting a multiplayer pvp game
it doesn't work like that sorry bud

WHERES MY PRE ORDER CLOTHES
REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>388639846
It was in my inventory already

>Played the first level
>Spent like 20 minutes on the combat deck having no idea what I was doing
>Controller is old and shits the bed and I can't fucking ask it to just go down one level below so I can check the next attack, it starts thinking I want to go ALL THE WAY DOWN AS FAST AS POSSIBLE

I have to buy a new one or I'm going to be sour as fuck.

>>388639810
I thought it had a single player element. My bad.

>>388640091
I think this might be game's issue. I had to disable Dualshock native support on Steam for it to work properly.

The "mixed" score is thanks to shitlords? or is the game actually bad?
pls respond, I want to throw my money to the monitor

>>388640269

its like dark souls, there is a single player and people join in on the area you are in and you can fight them if you want or join in jolly cooperation

>>388640326
It's bad as in half of the world can't play it right now.

I have two hours in the game so far, and I don't really like it. I am heavily considering a refund.

PvE is boring as shit because the AI is brain dead, and all the PvP I've done has been people just spamming feints and turtling.

>>388640326
People are angry there's a segmented release and region lock, despite fighting games literally never working well across the ocean
