I am sure I will pick it up soon, that is pretty reasonable.

Mount & blade warband was probably my favourite game of last year.

Oh, didn't know it was out! Thanks for the heads up.

Dickyb0b · 28 Apr 2011 at 08:01

Cool, I was tempted to restart a Warband campaign over the weekend, may wait and see what this is like instead.

GothicGhost · 28 Apr 2011 at 09:52

I bought the first Mount & blade as 2 for £15 with two worlds and i did not know anything about the game at all.

Well i don't play two worlds anymore but i always play M&b + warband with the mods as well. It's one them games that never gets old.

Currently playing warband with the Prophesy of Pendor mod

What a weird looking game. I'm tempted though but what is the gameplay like?

i thought the same. looks slightly odd, but also good in a wierd way.

its quiet ugly and basic in many respects but there's a certain charm about the game and the combat is highly addictive

Get Warband on Steam, should be able to pick it up fairly quickly. The combat will have you frustrated as hell at the start - you'll probably spend a lot of time getting wiped out by random bandits - but once you get to grips with it, it's an absolute gem. Incredibly addictive game.

Looking at some youtube reviews and it looks great. I'm definitely interested, but at £20, it's a tad bit expensive for me. I'm sure though that I could get countless hours of fun out of it.

£20? That's really steep - check some online e-tailers, you can probably pick it up for a fiver somewhere.

Cliste · 28 Apr 2011 at 17:55

Yeah, £20 on Steam and Gamersgate so far.
£5 though and I'll buy it

Bought Mount & Blade: Warband when it was released for £19.99 still playing it a year later, it's always got that play again factor, and I haven't got around to doing any mods yet.

Not that impressed with Fire & Sword not enough difference, won't be buying it.

The designers should include building a village>> Town >> City and introduce things that you would see in Age of Empires in terms of building etc, keep the 3D aspect.

Also change blocking so its more head, body, legs so theirs even more skill involved, would make a cool online mmorpg if it could be expanded to cater for it.

bushmins · 28 Apr 2011 at 19:11

So what should a first time buyer get. M&B or M&B Warband?

Is M&B Warband the second in the series?

Kosmiche · 28 Apr 2011 at 19:13

M&B Warband is essentially the same game as the original but with a added multiplayer element.

So you only need warband.
