>Somehow still kicking 10 years later
>>737747660what wonders no competition at all does for a product
>>737747660Damn shame too, the game should've had a sequel to iron out its flaws instead of carrying on as a live service no
>>737747660>somehowIt's a great game.>>737747918I haven't played since the hammer autist and his shamanic furry gf came out, but I don't see what really needs to be changed about it in terms of gameplay. Story-wise it could use some fukken work.
>>737748014Oh well, they reworked it atleast 3 times since then, all for the worse.Now they're just dumping absolute broken characters on season passes, and the characters are somehow overloaded on their kit, often having 3-4x more stuff than the OG characters yet also being easier to play.
>>737747660Deadliest Warrior should be remastered and brought to modern hardware/PC. I always preferred that to For Honor.
I'm guessing some higher up's pet project.Fuck, I'd love to play it, if there only weren't like 5 people online at any given time.
>>737748523There's literally 5k online just on steam, on off hours. It's crossplat too. 5k players is more than enough when the biggest match is 4v4
>>737748768Not enough to give me a queue shorter than 2 hours apparently.
>>737748886Third world issue
>>737747660I used to love this game but then they added the new characters and every single fucking 1v1 you'd be facing that crackhead bitch who bites your neck and I just got sick of it and stopped playing. Same thing that happened with R6S and Overwatch, every new character they added just made the game worse and worse.
>>737748164>reworked it atleast 3 times since then,Only once with the CCU>Now they're just dumping absolute broken characters on season passesNo character has ever been released on a battle pass, when a new hero drops you have to buy them with real money for 2 weeks until they become available for ingame currency. Battle passes are cosmetics and executions only.
>>737749330God I miss the times when Shaman was the worst we had to deal with.
>>737749585Only really annoying currently heroes are Virtuosa and Lu Bu
>>737749701Fighting a virt is one of the few things that gets me to ragequit.
damn i haven't played this in years, i had the free version on steamis it worth picking it back up and investing time? the only thing I'm scared of us getting invested only for it to eos out of nowhereused to play the gladiator guy and the hooded assassin girl, loved those
it really sucks but NO ONE even once attempted to make something similar. Anyhow the game sucks shit because I just hate the rep grind.
>>737749961Game has crossplay so you don't need to worry too much about player count, first game would take you a while to find because of the MMR reset. Gladiator and Peacekeeper are still good, especially PK who got buffed recently
>>737750080nice thank you anon, i will pick it back up this weekend but i assume it's gonna take me a while to relearn the game, i basically forgot everything
i loved the devteam
Is it pointless to try and get into this game now? Are all 2k players autists who have been no lifing for however many years? I just want to be a cool shaolin guy.
>>737747660I quit when they released the pasta whore and haven't played sinceHeard Lu Bu might be even worse than her but I refuse to install again, as tempted as I am
Spamming feints is gay (and realistic), play a fun medieval combat game
>>737750002>it really sucks but NO ONE even once attempted to make something similarThere was some F2P Korean game last year that shut down faster than you could blink, that was literally a FH clone in gameplay.
>>737752842>talks about gay gameplay>posts the game with the gayest gameplay that literally killed itself
>>737748523Basically>released as a total flop>Ubisoft committed money to de-flopping it because it was a huge reputational hit to have this incomplete mess hit official release>somewhere along the line, its playerbase grew to respectable numbers and started actually making money>so they kept funding itAnd here we are. I don't fully understand WHY it's so successful, but it is shockingly successful. At this point For Honor has made Ubisoft more revenue over its lifetime than most of their individual triple-A releases.The most interesting part of it to me is seeing how the devteam started out completely clueless and out of their depth at first and gradually came to understand and more or less master the theory behind developing a game like this. These should probably be the people working on future Assassin Creed games and not Ubisoft India.
>>737752646Yes, there's manly new players I usually see when my MMR dips low. Lots of black people and wiggers with PS5s to farm.
>>737753420>I don't fully understand WHY it's so successfulI'll always believe that it's uniqueness is what made it successful, both in gameplay and setting, and then the fact that heroes weren't locked behind a paywallso you had a stable playerbase that would sit and grind for days, and another that would drop 15$ every now and then to buy the newest OP characterThe only game with a similar setting was that deadliest warrior game and that's stuck as a shovelware PS3/360 game>devteamThey're all gone, unfortunatelyRoman will always have my respect, bald fuck told people to stop bitching and asking for nerf after he tuned down someone(centurion or lawbringer) and he was proven rightHe moved to DICE, but i don't know if that's better or worse
>>737747660EOMM = retention
>>737747660I was there, Gandalf... >tfw lost the Lewdkeeper screenshots from early threads
>>737753420>These should probably be the people working on future Assassin Creed games and not Ubisoft India.I believe the For Honor devs are in fact working on an Assassin's Creed game.
>was hyped for the game, even followed pre release alpha >Got the game day 1 >Loved the gameplay >Multiplayer kept disconnecting due to p2p setup they had >Everytime someone quit the game, the game froze up >If the host quit the came got canceled >Found it harder to play >Quit I imagine there were decent enough numbers like me. I came back to the game but it definitely feels bad having missed so much
Always wanted to play it but I never wanted to give Ubisoft my money AND install UPlay AND install Denuvo on my pc so fuck it.
>>737754892>you now remember junkyard warden and his hatred for shamani'm now incredibly sad to find out that brozerker posting is completely dead, the DEFLECT GOD 2 video got taken down since the owner closed his channel
>>737754934Wait really? I thought For Honor was developed by Ubi's Quebec studio and they were too small to handle a big project like that. Last I heard they were handed the steaming pile of shit that was the Prince of Persia remake after another team bungled it.
>>737755479Supposedly the game's development has been rebooted once, it was originally pitched as a 16-man party PvP game like Fall Guys. Who know what the game looks like now
It is a cool game and there is nothing else like it.
>>737752842>oh boy i cant wait to play some Chiv 2>half the people in any given lobby are doing their best beyblade impression with the executioner swordChiv 2 would be massively improved if there just wasnt a crouch button, let alone fixing the spinning issue
>>737755294kek that was the caption or match I thought of but not the ingame screenshot
surprised no one has looked to complain about the shadows (and valhalla) colab skins
>>737758196i think i saw that once but never saved it
>>737747660i haven't played in 2 years, and before that i haven't played since the year 4 seasonsi think i just don't like what the game is like anymore. i hate the new heroes, and i hate the retarded art direction. and i hated the CCU alsoi wish i liked this game again and had the desire to play it>>737754783>Romanwas it all over after he left?
I still dont get what a "sequel" is supposed to fixmore people attempting to play in attempt to understand the new "meta"?
>>737759051>cent main>boo hoo Im not META if you didnt like the new heroes, you'd still play just to execute them like ANY fighting learning the match up for Casual shitters is impossible.
>>737747660I stopped playing when they took shugoki's instant kill grab
>>737759051>tfw they took away the rape combo from cent because shitters complained too muchHonestly it went downhill when the trio leftThe new guys feel souless>>737759057They only need to upgrade the models so we can get more elaborate executions
>>737748886Weird AF since they have crossplay
>>737760634lets not forget people largely play a handful of modes, being dominion >>> event = breach >brawl >"ranked" duel
Now that the dust has settled did Mordhau blow For Goner's water?
>>737747660>a corpse that's twitching occasionallyYeah, "kicking", sure. Ubisoft lost 90% of its value over 5 years because their games are doing so well.

>>737761636I have been exceedingly happy with all of kensama's buffsfeels very good but not "meta" because of badmatch ups
>>737758196Best I could get.
>>737758694The original skins are so much better than the crossover ones but the reused assets are probably way easier to churn out
>>737762010I think they even did a poor job on notexistantnigga on purpose
>>737747660I used to play this game religiously from launch up until warmongrel irreparably ruined breach and just reinstalled like 2 days ago. The game feels fucking terrible now. It's actually a shame
>>737762104do you even understand your grief? its the best balance wise its ever been.
>>737762104You're going to be insanely rusty after six years. Play for a little while and see if you can get into the groove.
this game made me so angry I had to quit playing. The first 20 levels or so where nobody knows what they're doing were the best. sweatfests never weren't
>>737760461>For Honor thread on my /v/>look inside >immediately notice expected 300 hour player clip he thinks is impressive but looks absolutely terrible with 3 players who dont know what they are doingI have 4k hours in this shit game and its crack, but in this clip you should literally be dead. No one parried your obvious target swap dodge attacks and all Glad had to do was chill for five seconds and stare, toestab to confirm the warden top heavy. And to the guy that said virt is annoying she's literally dogshit and empty dodge right beats all her options
>>737762351yeah sure its being silly but its just something I have thats recent
>play for honor>like orochi>orochi sucks as soon as you get past the level where people die to light spam, you can pretty much only fish for counters>play for years without orochi buff>suddenly gpu dies so cant play anymore>one week later: orochi now has a kick, an unblockable heavy, 9432 better moves, more undodgeables, better storm rush, better..
It was great until they introduced the Black Prior and everything else that came afterwards.
>>737762545its more like everyone got every tool to some degree of efficacy and everyone bounces around barely viable to good but always below newhero (unless devs over nerf while playtesting)
>>737762509>that's recentwhat the fuck? i swear i've seen something like that 4 years ago
>>737762724the date is in the filename budI've been desperate to fight ANY one using the niggasam skin and no one has it because being FATBOI is infinitely more fun
>>737762545>Orochi sucks lolLiteral A tier hero at all levels of play, fours and duels. Insane dodge recovery on all attacks including zone and normal unreactable dodge forward bash that confirms light into chain and vortex with another bash or storm rush. Storm rush is reactable for high mmr lobbies like mine unless you use sparingly and delay swap. And hes got an unblockable top heavy finisher with insane forward movement. Reddit comment here. No one who knows how to play the game lights in neutral ever, its free damage for enemy
>>737762893>>737762893>dodge recovery on zonedidnt they JUST nerf that? is it still good? I've been just fighting shinobis because people are jacking off to the asscreed chick's skin
>>737762893Did you even read the post? That guy is talking about orochi from several years ago.
>>737763003They lowered the numbers slightly to put the recovery in line with other recovery on most of the other heroes like pirate, afeera, pk and so on. Its still an extremely good tool that allows him to create space and hit externally with target swaps while being low recovery enough if someone presses into you externally you can deflect and orochis deflect is one of the few that negates enemy hyper armor in chain
>>737762892*ssssssip*>overwatch map>load in my FATLAD>Sit on the bridge between the two points>charge every shitter trying to passthose were the times
>>737748183>he yearns for the shitty soulcalibur clone
Should I start playing Orochi?
>>737748523nah, it is because china loves it. same reason why r6 siege is supported
>>737763535you come in and just remind me that calibur is also deader then for honor
>>737763631It's a bit funny to think about how For Honor is currently more successful than a lot of fighting game franchises with a lot more prestige than it.
>>737763604yes hes pretty fun, his deflect and parry sounds are sexy
>>737763750roach's existence by default automatically taunts every knigger main which is always funny
>>737763808the best part about heros you hate is getting to do the really disrespectful executions on them
>>737763604Orochi is one of the best duelists in the game if you have good fundamentals.
>>737764261me trying to find the ONE nigga on the opposite team who would buy the yasuke skin so I can execute him
>>737764356i like black prior, how do i fit in this list
>>737759057Probably some actual reworks to the more badly designed characters, and maybe removing some of the more undercooked modes like that capture the flag shit and features like the faction battle.
>>737765635that one dude who ganks by doing that full block stuff?
>>737764570Kore wo KURAE!*headbutts you*>>737766003The Knight who has a move that can counter everything except a guardbreak(and feats some times)
>>737766003yeah the one that flips you
hows my nigga Zhanhu? havent played in a few yearsstupid question but is it worth coming back?
>>737766707For Honor is in a great state right now. Zhanhu is very solid but doesn't stand out as SUPER strong in any particular area, just consistently good
>>737747660I prefer For Honour to other directional combat games because it's not trying too hard. You play as stereotypical characters, doing unrealistic combat and it's fun even as a history nerd that does HEMA.Even the story mode is good. (Though the non story lore is just stupid as fuck.)
>>737754892TELL ME ABOUT BANE WHY DOES HE WEAR THE MASK
I quit because of the sheer amount of crossovers and meme executions. They ruined the game's great aesthetic.
>>737758786Didn't they remove this too?
>>737767253Honestly they've done memes from the start, I remember their early early warrior dens where they'd reference memes and release meme stuff.The crossovers though is what makes me want to quit. The latest one with fucking Yasuke from Assassin's Creed Shadows is the worst offender, even worse than Destiny skins imo.Aside from the completely ahistorical nonsense that retarded comic book writer posted on Wikipedia to justify including him in Shadows, he kills the shape of Shugoki. It doesn't look or sound anything like him, he looks like any other Samurai and it honestly makes Shugoki even more annoying to play against.None of the other skins changes the characters shape as much.
>>737767365Yea, that was a bugGuardbreak->unlock/lock+heavy atk would trigger the drop attack animation and oneshot everyone
Metalkid.shit, i'm old, but i still love FH
>>737768859damn i completely forgot about metalkid posting
>>737748014>his shamanic furry gfThere's a second shaman furry chick? I think I quit when they released glad and highlander. Looked at the combat now and it looks really shit these days, they added way too many characters.
>>737747660the small playerbase they do have is surprisingly dedicated. Yeah its still a dead game but you still have thousands of players
>>737747660>check it out>FEMALE ONLY varagian yeah no fuck this game
>>737770254>huge buff probably sweaty woman
>>737747660I remember enjoying it a lot early, getting to about 100 hours and falling the fuck off it. Bomberman Lawbringer was some fucking funny times.Making shields was fun too,
Reminder that this game had 2 million players at launch but Ubisoft thought having dedicated servers were cringe so instead they had P2P for almost 1 year and during that time the game was unplayable mess with cheaters using lag switches
>started maining shinobi long ago>devs remove the sliding kickman that was too sad, I loved triggering people witih that
>>737768001The Destiny skins are shit but for the AC collab only Yasuke ruins it. Eivor and the ninja girl are a good fit.
>>737774276Agreed. Yasuke would have been a good kensei skin, but I guess they needed more cosmetics for Shugoki.
>>737764356>/fhg/There is a (very slow) thread on vm nowadays though
>>737768120Fuck I completely forgot about that, I thought it was referencing the 60 damage top light counter.
>>737774789from what I heard, is because Yasuke never had a nodachi from the start and only after updates
>>737747660I had like 2k hours but they never fixed the turteling issue. Apparently they finally fixed it after I stopped playing. Too bad I had moved on to other Fighting Games and Slashers by then.
>>737753420>At this point For Honor has made Ubisoft more revenue over its lifetime than most of their individual triple-A releases.I don't believe this, got any numbers?
>>737774841it's just not the same...>>7377749342k damage is how much you do by ledge dropping
I really wish another publisher was in charge of this game. Ubishit are both spiteful and incompetent.
>>737775930well definitely more then say "the crew" I think some one said the chinks really really like this game, even if somehow the forgotten feature of that war map or someshit
The game isn't dead but there are a lot of extremely dead gamemodes, they should group them all into a single "play whatever" queue. Mostly because I don't like dominion very much and it's where 90% of the players seem to be.
>>737779039like people have said, its less dead on the virtue that devs just keep working on it at all
>>737763535>deadliest warrior>soul calibur cloneYou might be retarded.
>>737779039That's because those modes fucking blow after your first couple times playing it. Breach had potential but no one wants to sit through a 30 min match when they can tell they're gonna lose right from the first 5 after seeing how retarded their team is
>>737779039It's been like ten years since I last played tribute
I dont know how to feel about nobu's hero skin
I have nothing of value to add to the thread. That being said, I need a gladiator wife.
>>737781945it's been ten years since anyone has played tribute
>>737762351Virt isn't dogshit but she is hard as fuck to play against good players
>>737782531I personally love it
>>737782852>gladiator wifethis is of value
Please... I can't install... For Honor again... *dies*
I want to have rough, raw, violent sex with Virtuosa
>>737783898I'll keep you away from it!
>>737747660I put hundreds of hours into this game starting with the open beta but I ended up quitting because they never really figured out a way to handle leavers. If somebody leaves after the first, like, minute or so of a match, there'll be no fill, and even high-level bots are just free kills against competent players. Winning a 3v4 against a team that's anywhere near an even match for yours just isn't possible. Meanwhile the "penalty" for leaving (such as it is) is easily circumvented by ending the program, rather than leaving from the pause menu.Damn near every game goes the same way: someone ragequits partway through, then their team grinds it out to an inevitable loss. Often, another person or two leaves afterwards, since there's no chance of a fill and there's effectively no penalty for leaving anyway--why stay? Whether you're the one picking up the easy win or playing through the hopeless loss, it's not fun either way. Implementing some kind of functional leaver penalty or allowing hot-joins later in a match (or both!) would get me back into the game, but I feel like if that was gonna happen it would have happened already. As it is, the game's just not fun to play.
>>737784158>117gbfucking how
>>737784884all the cosmetics really really stack up
What fucks up For honor for me is how 99% of the players are either on Dominion or Duels, I want to play eliminations since its the most fun mode but its completely dead
how come nothing else has tried this combat system? KCD and KCD2 kind of did it I guess but I'd love to see bigger developers try their hand at it instead of all this extraction shootslop
>>737785618The last time I played elimination everyone in their was playing like four 1v1's instead of a 4v4. They all refused to gank or teamfight and my allies ran away when I tried to. The mode's been ruined by honorfag redditors I'm afraid
>>737785764Ubisoft has a patent on it, no one is allowed to make a For Honor-like yet.
>>737785971I still prefer that over dominion. Dom is just so fucking boring its crazy, unfortunately the new modes they make every once in a while have a high chance of being shit too
>>737785764For Honor is a money maker for Ubisoft but it was never a smash hit in the way that would get other industry figures to stand up and take notice. I imagine there's just not a huge line of boardroom execs tripping over themselves to copy the formula that gave Ubisoft such respectable-but-not-mind-blowing results. I'd love it if this genre had more than literally a single game to choose from, but I don't see that happening soon unless some extraordinarily enterprising indie developer takes it on (see: the multiple Titanfall clones in development, which are legitimately impressive). But the thing is, people love Titanfall. Everybody--even (or perhaps especially) the people who play For Honor--hates For Honor.
>>737785971>game where the meat and potatoes is 1v1 skill expressions>no one wants to 4man a single guy who instantly dies with no recoursemaybe they realized that its not very entertaining
>>737786095I don't like it when my teammates snap defeat from the jaws of victory.
It was fun, had some decent memes, but as soon as they started doing faces for their dudes I kinda started falling off. Then I simply stopped playing after the chinese faction released which was a cool faction to do but something bugged me about it. I think its cause they were doing like retarded kungfu moves or something. And now its like...why the fuck do they have Lu Bu and not some Aztec warrior or something lol. Or egyptian faction idk man.Anyways definitely a cool concept that I hope to see again.
>>737786613>Aztec warrior or something lol. Or egyptian faction idk man.because china's recorded martial history is larger then both so those irrelevant only have one rep each.
>>737780313Breach is shit but you're out of your mind if you think elims are bad
>>737785764it's not an aim assist pvp shooter so it's too hard for the average gaymer. see naraka too. was only popular in cn and parts of sea.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qF5U_4H3ZtYtoday i will remind thempre-nerf arcade mode was hell on earth
>>737786830I didn't say it was wrong to do a China faction, I said it was cool just the execution was kinda shit but having Lu bu in instead of random non descriptive warriors is a sell out move.
>>737755294
>>737787524>casually putting fag in the video and no one caredYoutube before 2018 was a different place
