FOR HONOR: The PC mans fighting game

DrPillzRedux · Sun Jan 29, 2017 12:20 am

For honor is a 1v1, 2v2, and 4v4 medieval fighting gaming where DEUS VULT, Vikings, and Samurai fight eachother in arenas. Once you customize your character, hop in a game and try to tactically wombo combo your enemy blocks, parries, ripostes, knock downs, and much more.

The skill ceiling in this game is actually pretty high too.

All classes do have executions though. You just have to get the last hit with a heavy attack to trigger an execution. They can't be revived after regardless of what execution happens.

Ah, 60 bucks and probably release-date DLC the way I smell it.

Fuck this noise.

You can get the base edition for $47 on Green Man Gaming. Game should be $40 not $60.

Gameplay is hella fun, been wasting my entire weekend playing it. Seems pretty balanced at the moment (although going extreme with sprint speed during 4v4s on peacekeeper seems to be a common trend and is SUPER FUCKING ANNOYING), although it'll probably be all thrown out of whack once the factions get their final classes unlocked on release. DLC is questionable thing for this game but they claim there is going to be a full fledged story mode so it could just pertain to that, there is already a microtransaction-esque lootcrate system but its with currency you can (thus far) only earn, and not buy.

also ladder combat is a joke, that shit needs to be tuned hardcore. the windup for the punch takes eternities, locks you in place and basically requires them to be unaware of the slide button or literally ignore the super telegraphed animation. the punishment for being punched off a ladder from below is being subjected to the whims of fall damage which is sometimes literally nothing or instant death and anywhere inbetween, whilst being slid upon results in either instant death or half of your hp gone from fall damage... for some reason if you're low on the ladder being slid on instakills you whilst being middle or higher just knocks you off.

DLC is going to be the same thing as Siege does it. Early access for a week for season pass owners and free unlock. After that everyone can get it through in-game means.

Steelpoint · Post by **Steelpoint** » Mon Jan 30, 2017 1:54 pm #249592

This game looks engaging and enjoyable, with a high skill ceiling. However I fear this game will not survive on PC with the Peer 2 Peer system they've implemented for multiplayer. In my experience P2P is devastating, at least in Australia it makes it very hard to get a good game going.

I'm also concerned about the lack of game mode variety, but the P2P issue is the big deal breaker for this game.

It was fun when I played it, but the skill ceiling is way too high for me to get good enough at it with the amount of time I'm willing to sink into it. Also too expensive.

Is single player any good? I probably won't buy it for multiplayer, since I'll suck in it.

Kel · Post by **Kel** » Mon Jan 30, 2017 11:45 pm #249755

No one can play the singleplayer yet, but there are some gameplay videos out there from press released versions of the game (or some shit i dunno???). I haven't watched any of it because spoilers, but I think the gist of it will end up being a hack & slash dynasty warriors game with duels strewn throughout as bosses

Quanti · Post by **Quanti** » Fri Feb 10, 2017 10:23 am #253912

Finally got the chance to play this. Seems about 90% of people I've gone up against so far fall into the category of being so good I can't ever touch them or so bad I can't ever miss them. Somehow I still have fun getting my ass kicked by the closed beta vets in duels but 4v4's is what I've been sticking to.

Considering getting this game, open beta has been pretty fun even though I'm not great.

Anyone else gonna play once live? If so what faction?

Drynwyn · Post by **Drynwyn** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 7:42 pm #254747

I had bad experiences in the beta with P2P play- fast-attacking classes are just so much better, because they're just as good as the others when things are working normally, and are guaranteed to win if the network connection acts up.

it seems like a strong meta has formed around the conq being god. absolute 100% defensive play currently has no counters, and trying to attack into a conq is suicide considering your increased hitstun on mere blocked attacks and their guaranteed high damage 1 attack they get after every block. theoretically you could guardbreak them but they could counter guardbreak. the few classes that have unblockables could theoretically abuse those, but the conq could just dodge or parry them with no downside, a feint requires stamina to preform, but only a flick of the joystick/mouse for the conq to counter. at high levels of play a conq is 100% undefeatable, as all reactionary play has no downsides for them at all.

Been struggling to make the lawbringer work. Their moves are fairly telegraphed so it's easy to get parried and he doesn't have any "free" attacks where you'd expect them be which hurts him a fair bit, and his stamina is rubbish. But I like his aesthetic so much that I want to make him work anyway. I've found shugokis to be VERY hard to deal with at the moment probably because I'm not used to them but that huge health, hyper armour and weirdly paced attacks that throw off my parries is something else.

I would enjoy getting this game but I'm concerned about the P2P aspects of it, as well as the facts its pretty expensive at $60 USD which translates into around $80 AUD.

You can get the standard edition for $50 usd off of green man gaming. While I don't know much about the weird hacker parts of P2P the connection seems to run almost perfectly even when playing with people across the world. No host advantage or weird lag or anything like that, just freezes and rehosts the game every now and then whenever the host quits midway through a match.

I played some Ford Boner on the trial and it has grasped a meaty combat feeling, but it's too easy to live the meme dream and just shove everyone into oblivion. Duels get really shallow. Unless it whips out a fat cock on the table for release campaigning/larger scale MP battles then it ain't worth that sitty dolla.

Kel · Post by **Kel** » Wed Feb 15, 2017 8:38 am #255835

teching shoves is a real bitch to get used to but once you sink a good amount of hours into the game you can easily predict when someone is about to shove you and immediately tech it. shove heavy players always spam that shit so it becomes all the easier to react to. reacting to guardbreaks is still a pain in the ass though, its almost purely mindgames for me, one random ass guardbreak that i didnt see coming will always get me.

DrPillzRedux · Wed Feb 15, 2017 9:09 am

Don't buy this.

They slowed the combat way the fuck down compared to closed beta. Whereas before you could actually do combos, now you're going to be tired from 3 swings.

This is so fucking horrible oh my god.

either you play warlord or orochi, or you are delusional because they havent touched the frame data on anyone, however warlord and orochi took a nerf to one of their moves that causes more stamina loss
