everything except servers, its still shit, hopefully fix soon

>Fighting game where you can make up your own moveset

Why don't more people play this game?

>>389282479
simplistic combat mixed with hearthstone-like deck building. The perfect combination for making casuals feel like theyre playing some hardcore fighting game. too bad its fucking boring

>>389283591
Cause there's nothing to fucking do.

>>389283591
it's too complicated for all the kids that play online games

i just want to collect all the masks. it's like they tapped into my childhood love of bionicle all over again

>>389283745
This, it's only 1v1 and making movesets, I like my moveset and don't really feel like grinding enemies for a spin kick or whatever. Needs more PvE and larger scale battles.

>>389282479
strong aesthetic style
that's what sells today better than any gameplay, weirdly enough
lawbreakers is pretty much the opposite of this game

>>389283774
>babby plays fake "fighitng game" and thinks he's hardcore now

how does the fucking respawning in this game work? when i cross one of those rune things on the ground do the npcs respawn? is it a timer?

>>389283958
>This, it's only 1v1
So its a fighting game. I'm confused here, is this not the appeal of games like this?

>>389284362
Timer attached to zones.

>>389283958
>grinding for spin kicks
So it's just Way of the Samurai without any content? Those games have so much to do and building unique styles or grinding rare abilities is just part of it.

bud, fighting games only appeal to people who already like fighting games. this was marketed as an action game or beat em up type thing, which brought in a lot of people who rapidly realized they didn't like what the game actually is. it's like Brutal Legend essentially.

>>389284461
except it doesnt have the depth or speed of a fighting game and fights are mostly decided by how youve built your deck rather than technical skill

>>389285461
Schools are like skill decks made by other people. Join a school, get a fully made deck for you to use. You can even join a school of a different fighting class (like a Windwalker joining a Forsaken school) and then learn that fighting class by using its special ability a bunch of times.

>>389282479

well, then whining is justified, i guess

whats the population like right now?

Sweep meta is pretty cancer. Devs should release their update with at least two new gamemodes, with one ranked, a new weapon and a balance patch before the end of the month or they'll have only themselves to blame for the game sinking

>>389286137
I get a ton of people playing in my games.

What is this sweep meta you people talk about?I am playing two days now and everything is fine.

>>389286137
even with region lock and 6k online atm, you get into matches in instant, didn't fought same dude once, which is surprising

Do you need to have a fast computer to run this

>>389286760
6k on steam/GOG or consoles?

>>389286760
>>389286537
is that on PC or PS4? Is there a way to check on psn? I assume this is more popular on consoles.

>>389286889
I don't know how he would get the numbers for console.

>>389286913
PC/GOG here.

Game is crazy fucking fun, winning is orgasmic and losing is crushing

servers are so terrible. Wait a week before buying.

i dont know because i cant fucking play it because the servers arent up most of the day and havent been up for a fucking week

>>389286691
People playing sweeping attacks which are a bitch to dodge or block for some reason, and avoid most attacks automatically so unless you specifically build your deck with attacks hitting lower (which is a bitch to do because some attacks are in a weird grey area and you can't know) you are completely fucked if the other isn't a moron.

>>389287162
Well I mean let's be real dude I have 52 hours in the game since Tuesday and probably at least 20 of those have been strictly PvP, so it's not THAT bad

But it's 100% not worth a buy at the moment, wait for the fix to go through this week and see if the problems persist.

Swirly swirly :^)

I like charged moves.Really good as a counter to faster attacks.

>>389287307
>People playing sweeping attacks which are a bitch to dodge or block for some reason
this pisses me off to no end
why is the timing for dodging the slow sweeps and jump kicks so fucked up

>>389287307
There are arrows at the bottom side of attacks who change your position in space as you attack.

>>389287068
Ok man, explain to me how all the examples you posted are comparables to anyone using sweep moves when you simply don't have the tool needed to hit them while they're crouching.

There is literally not a damn thing you can do unless you take specifics steps in your deck building to counter it, which is more than can be said about the 3 examples you posted.

>>389287679
those are for your body turning not how high/low the attack is

The game is good but the servers are shit and online play is extremely unreliable.

I don't mind that it has so little pve content because that's just a tutorial for pvp, but when the pvp hardly works and is inconsistent as fuck then there's a problem.

Should've just made a server browser with actual dedicated and custom servers instead of p2p invasions.

>>389287679
They're specifics moves that make your character jumps or crouches, but I heard that hits can connect high, middle or low with middle hits hitting everything and I have zero idea how to differenciate middle to high.

>>389287809
low body attacks hit low
?

>>389287771
Sweep moves are nowhere near as overpowered as you're making them seem. You can easily guard them (they cost more stamina to use than block, like most dodge moves) and once you get the timing down using your special move to parry/absorb/dodge them shouldn't be a problem.

Dodge moves in GENERAL are starting to get really widely used, but like the weeb anon said, just a few days ago quick-spam decks were all over the place. Everything is getting countered.

Also, it's no one else's fault that you aren't able to adapt in the middle of a match and figure out how to beat your opponent, and instead you sperg out, quit, and blame the game. It's a fucking difficult game and frustrating as hell when you lose, but maybe just keep it to yourself when that happens.

>>389288006
no they dont? those aren't low/high they're literally just which direction your body is facing

>>389283894
I'm max level and lvl 64 in pvp and have like 6 masks not including the preorder ones

>>389288069
>guard them or block them
Then what? If your character don't have a deck with a move about hitting low he's doomed because even if he strings the attack perfectly the other can just press X, dodge everything and get some good hits in.

It's pretty broken because it forces you to have an answer to it built in your deck, as opposed to simply outplaying someone abusing haymaker by baiting him with feints

>>389287771
>when you simply don't have the tool needed to hit them while they're crouching
>game lets you build your own fucking deck and choose moves
>build deck without even 1 single attack with low\mid hitbox
>wha why crouching dudes keep killing me? unfair unfair

you know that you proved my post even more now?

>>389288468
why would you not build a well rounded deck that has answers for different strategies?

>>389288593
Nah you should build your deck this way, but as from now no type of moves are as essential to counter as low sweeping moves.

>>389288593
That could be another problem, where every deck ends up looking the same just to be viable.

>>389288468
Are you serious? Your entire line of thought relies on the idea that the person you're fighting is constantly sweeping and that there's never a time where there player model is not low.

I thought this was the God Hand successor I had been waiting for but it looks too slow and the AI is garbage.

>>389289141
It is kinda silly, if they constantly sweep it can be punished via direction and jumping.

That is why if your windfall, you block and figure out their big threats.

>>389288069
i find it interesting to observe how people get smarter with their classes, i started as forsaken and felt like black belt for first few days parrying every single fucker who i came across, except other forsaken, till i learned feinting and everyone became joke again.

Then i met couple of good stagger dudes, really aggressive and hard to predict. Then stumbled across some good khalters, really tanky dudes who were really hard to harass with my deck, at this point almost every good player i met used feinting with decent success and countered 50% of my ability to parry them.

And now i start to see some really good windfall players, where you really cant fucking land a single even short chain, they dodge so good, faint so smart and attack so aggressively at the same time, i feel like its really THE best class, but also feel like its probably the hardest to learn. Funny that at start everyone were shitting at winfallers, like most useless\weak style.

This game needs a knockdown threshold, like every smart fighting game.

>>389289258

God hand is a piece of garbage.

>>389289258

it's not bad actually, but this is a PvP game not some casual pattern memorization game with QTEs

Ironic post from someone who hasn't played God Hand, does this game have anywhere near as much combo potential?

>>389285798
>i-its not my skill thats lacking, i just dont have the time to grind for a good deck!
I see.

>>389290341
DESU, its two button combos.

These assholes are trying to hold the game up to to MK or SF or KoF. Tekken is this exact combat system but without custom move sets.

>>389286913
You assume wrong.

Randomly co-oping with strangers to ascend the tower was a pretty good time. And the 1v1 stuff is great whether it be people or AI. Finally got a move set with Khalt that I'm feeling too and it feels great. Problem is I wish the world had more to offer and 1 vs a group feels awful especially with the servers being unreliable. I guess I'm just trying to build my wardrobe right now. Admittedly I'm only 8 hours in.

>>389290506
Tekken also has much more variety, like a universe of variety. Absolver is a much smaller game.

>>389284913
Even For Honor has more shit to do.

>>389290341
I didn't make an assessment of God Hand though, but either way yes I have played it, only for like an hour though because the game is so stiff.

>>389290506
Who are you talking about? No one is comparing this to any fighting games, it's a completely different kind of game.

>>389285798
>it's a new take on a well known genre that could definitely use new takes
>bitch about it because it's not the same game in a different skin

>>389290506
What? Tekken isn't remotely similar. None of the fighters are. It's more akin to Dark Souls.

So is this For Honor but good?

>>389291175
It's really only For Honor in terms of it being a 3rd person fighting game. Other than that the gameplay is infinitely more smooth and satisfying.

>>389291175
It's For Honor but boring and limited to 1v1. It even manages to have network problems as well. The games are brothers.

>>389291249
>more satisfying
>just mash x and y in between dodge spam
Even victories aren't very satisfying because everything looks so bland and the gameplay is a mash fest. Would rather play For Honor and die in a single parry desu

>>389291065
Do you remember if you got out of the western town?

>>389291540

why lying?

I've been enjoying my time with it, the fighting system is really deep when you consider all the ways to stop a sequence mid combo to get into a different stance

>wanting your game to die harder
Absolver is fucking guaranteed to have a niche playerbase. I don't care what the player count in steam says, I'll never run out of people to play against

They had that in mortal kombat armageddon

>>389291653
>>389292094
Have you even played the game? It's what this anon says, but he's a only slightly wrong.

>>389293003
>meta has gone from spamming quick attacks to having charge attacks ready in two or three stances to charge breaks and double hits
People still mash fast strings repeatedly, they just have alt attacks with special properties(charge, block damage, dodges, etc). Still just an x/y mashfest, very unsatisfying gameplay.

>>389283745
The dame thing of any othrr fihhting game ever made: to fight.
If you need a plot go play MKX or Injustice 2 like a tasteless casual.

>>389293462
It's almost as if people are using different attacks based on situation now
Damn what a cheap game, letting people adapt

>>389291089
And what genre would that be? 3rd Person Brawlers? Because it's certainly not a fighting game, if it was we might as well conceded that point to the faggots arguing that For Honor is a fighting game as well.

>tfw it will never get past the "its a cheesefest, dont bother" shitters unable to fathom the skill ceiling

There are more people playing absolver pvp than dark sous pvp, at all times, and that won't change
Watch anon try to argue this, then attempt to question its relevancy

I already refunded it the PvP shitters who constantly defend the game disgust me its like you cant say anything bad this game

>>389293883

Literally get better internet and who cares about "muh single player" single player gets boring while multiplayer is endless

>>389293680
Look at it this way, 70% of the actual playerbase won't do anything other than attempt a cheesefest, so it's not really fair to claim that it's just shitters when it's pretty much everyone who is trying to find the easiest, safest way to win rather than actually get good.

if they fix the servers and make them more stable then it will be a million times better
>>389293883
my biggest complaint so far is the maze like world design
navigating through the world is infuriating and a nightmare
other than that everything else is great

Poorfag here, is the game actually worth the price? I really enjoy the souls games and fighting games in general, so it looks interesting to me, the way the world is connected is like a souls-lite or whatever.

Also how long is the average time to complete the PVE side before doing PvP? Just asking to be sure before I bust my nuts trying to get it.

>>389293954
>nu-/v/

>>389294012
either wait for a sale or wait until they fix the servers
PvE is really short, it can be done in a few hours
the world is really weird to navigate but everything is interconnected

>>389293883

Gotcha, I'll grab it when I can, hopefully the servers will get somewhat better until then.

>>389294413
Community is a huge part of multiplayer games, even if them spamming moves he doesn't like is a shitty reason.

>>389297702
stagger isn't really a man mode either, more like halfbaked windfall but also drunk
>>389297037
khalt is easy to start as and play against others on similar level of skill, but got stomped later if you still not figured out how to use it properly.

forsaken is a bit harder then khalt because you have to learn moves a bit to properly defend, get stomped as soon as people start to use feints properly and you didn't figured out how to deal with it.

windfall is the hardest one to learn because omnidirectional dodge, and if not used properly, gonna get stomped right from start since you basically dont have any defense except block. Later if learned how to dodge people, becomes unstoppable\hardest class to play against.

stagger above. drunk unpredictable weird shit, not so unpredictable when learned couple of moves, since most of staggers use 60-70% of same moves.

>>389298643
Stagger leveled me up easily to the point I could actually use my method correctly. I feel there's a reason it's so easy to find in the game. Shit is stupid easy.

I'll take the bait; sounds pretty gay.

>>389291089
it has less depth than every fighting game on the market nowadays.

>>389301519
That wouldnt make much sense since the skills are mostly utility and arent directly used for offense
Gravity and Earthquake stun/slow your opponent but they arent offensive skills in the first place
While it definitely seems like something they could do (and might actually do) there would be no point

>>389284697
More or less, you block or use your class ability against a move and you gain "xp" for it until you eventually get it. Nothing to do with it but just fighting people in shitty arenas.

There is already too much gay fairy bullshit in the game
