This last FH beta turned me around on it. Wasn't going to get it, now pre-ordered.

drat a song by Amon Tobin came on one of my play lists today and it reminded me of Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, which is one of my favourite games ever and developed by UBISOFT(?!). What the hell happened to those guys? I remember double agent being a buggy mess and then conviction (?) had the cool co op. Where's the current gen splinter cell at? Some of the stealth parts of Phantom Pain and Hitman had me craving a new release.

Early Splinter cell was awesome though.

I'd have to look up which of the Splinter Cell games I played but it was indeed awesome. Hanging from pipes as you waited to drop down on guards below felt like Batman before the Arkham games (and really the Predator stealth stuff in the Arkham games is kind of ridiculous anyway, with so much of it relying on gargoyles and vents).

I got the steelbook version of Chaos Theory and everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVAWi6K0JzY The asymmetrical multiplayer in Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory is still one of my favorite online game modes of all time

Bombadilillo posted:A component and potentially deep 1v1 combat system shoved in a moba shell. Its not a good game. I think your take is a bit disingenuous, I don't know what the gently caress a moba is but For Honor is a decent game with an excellent deep combat system. The game is built around 1v1 combat, it is not tacked on whatsoever, you can play 1v1 duels all day if you want to and again the system is deep enough that it provides for many options, tactics etc. It would take a while to master each character, who are each quite different, and overall the system provides for excellent duels if you know what you are doing. the 4v4 and modes of which there are several are fun too and the combat functions in a slightly different way in those modes, some of the more advanced tactics are potentially overlooked in the chaos but it boils down to 1v1 combat just in a different arena with different objectives, and yes you might end up in a 1v2 situation, there are ways to deal with that. There is the additional element of a battle "front" with AI drones in one of the modes which adds a different layer of gameplay to that mode which requires a different strategy. And yes you might get stabbed in the back if you do not watch your back, situational awareness comes into play. And mostly that's not instant death either. You always have a fighting chance in most situations So really i can understand some people not getting into it but when it clicks the game is very satisfying and rewarding and personally i think I will be playing and enjoying many hours of it. I'd encourage people to give it a try and if you do, give yourselves a chance to spend a bit of effort to learn the combat system before you write it off, it is a game which you need to invest a little bit into the gameplay mechanics before it will click. In conclusion, it's a good game.

For Honor's combat system felt way too artificial to me. I don't think it was bad but I didn't enjoy it at all. I get what it was going for but it felt unnatural without that unnatural element feeling more fun to me. It just made me want to play different games instead. I'm glad people enjoy it but I can't imagine playing it if it was F2P, let alone $60.

Still feels like 1v1 and other modes are "hope you only run into 1v1 situations". They built a fun 1v1 system and went. Welp how can we make a game out of this?

Seeing for honor just makes me want to play Mount & Blade. I'm not really dying for a competitive multiplayer environment ala Chilvary, just either a decent single player story or a sandbox. And I don't think the campaign here really warrants the $60 launch price, but reviews may prove otherwise. Either way, If I only want it for single player then I can wait.

I can't speak to the actual gameplay in FH because I missed the beta, but the thing that strikes me about it, is that I cannot see how they could make a MP/bots only game like that, that would be worth a full price buy. granted there might be more to it than I am aware of, but it sounds like the whole thing should be a secondary mode to a more full featured game.

For whatever reason I find that my most regrettable purchases have been multiplayer games that friends/goons recommend I buy to play with them. I buy them, not have fun alone and never get the chance to play with them for whatever reason.

Fair enough it's expensive but how is it different to any shooting game which is multiplayer focused? It's got plenty of modes and characters and maps and what not and if you enjoy it there will be plenty of longevity at least that's how I feel after playing the beta. There is a single player campaign too if anyone cares

Playing the actual 4v4 mode it felt like it all boiled down to who can double team the most. The moba-style gameplay almost requires that buildup period where you learn to coordinate as a team even if you're just randos, so without that and just having random teams thrown into the muck, welp The 1v1 mode would probably have the most depth but that's definitely not the thing they are pushing

Goons usually don't disappoint for me, but my irl friends mostly have garbage taste in games and try to hard sell me on stuff like Evolve and Battleborne. The ones that actually buy decent games are never online at the same time as me.

Like, If I really like an MP only game and play it a lot I guess it's worth the money but that's a pretty hard sell, especially in a genre that usually has robust single player content. Also, I don't consider bot matches a proper campaign personally. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 06:48 on Feb 13, 2017 |

Each of these tasks earns more points for those respective classes so you can level up and use special abilities. It's quite fun when the points are swinging back and forth between the two teams and often a team can come back from a precarious position veni veni veni posted:
