For Honor - Hack and Slasher

I agree there is no honour in the 4vs4 its war, its all about killing the o position as fast as possible by any means. I do like the 2 vs 2 and duels though, got spanked earlier in a dual i just couldn't time my guard break right, i also keep hitting the start and back buttons on the xbox controller like a noob.
 
I tend to just do Dominion to complete orders....there's not much fun is just getting ganked or ganking people. Duels and Brawls are more fun imo, although I don't mind a bit of elimination, it's annoying you can't just queue for Elimination, sometimes you'll end in Skirmish which is a bit pants.
 
Yeah that is annoying, although I don't mind playing skirmish. But it should be something you choose to queue for.

I've never actually played dominion lol, I just like dueling.
 
What's the verdict? is it your run of the mill hack and slash or is there actually some depth in the game? I havnt had in interest in it at all but I fancy a new game
 
It's more of a fighting game than a hack and slash.

Combat is easy to pick up but hard to master, it's all about timing and feinting, landing combos. I really enjoy it, but I've always loved fighting games.
 
How big is the campaign and is it anygood ? Like Donohue07, looking to buy something to play whilst I'm off for a week ;)

I was told you have to play multiplayer with a controller to be competetive which puts me off

I wouldn't buy it for the single player....there's a campaign to run through which is fun enough but I wouldn't pay full price just for that. It's mostly about the multiplayer.

I haven't played with mouse/KB but we had a tournament last week (50-60 peeps) and mouse guys were competitive, getting to the semis IIRC.

I'd hold off, Im enjoying the game and the mechanics but its a typical ubisoft piece of junk. Skill based match making is none existent, when in matches you get paired with the same people over and over, its all peer to peer matching so you get regular connection issues. Its also fairly pricey.

Good sides, compelling game play, decent balance (if you actually learn the counters), high skill cap, a new player isnt totally out matched by a maxed geared pro and can easily kill them (once they know how to play obviously...)

it needs some refinement to a couple of moves and it needs some refinements in terms of match making and such and those issues for me make the game very frustrating at times.

That's by design. Unless you explicitly leave a session after a game, you'll go into the next match with the same people (if they don't quit).

It's awesome when you're duelling, spent an hour the other day just playing the same person, both developing and changing strategies each round.

I meant in say, elimination 5 rounds, you will get paired with the same guy 2-4 times, rather than an even rotation between guys on each side.
 
I bought it last night and after only playing a few levels of the campaign and a few PvP rounds I love it !

No idea really what I'm doing but it's immense fun cracking skulls or decapitating people !
 
Add me sayso74

I need someone to teamup with and practice, struggling getting directional counters in. Would be good to duo up in brawl.
 
I'm trying to play this more (keep running out of time in the evenings).

I'm really not very good but would be happy to team up with anyone that can put up with my lack of skill.
 
nah is mainly about the pvp multiplayer aspect...had it since launch, 40h in and only completed the first part of the single player campaign...2 to go
