Is the game honestly that bad or is it just the servers?

Is the game honestly that bad or is it just the servers?
I'm asking because I'm thinking of picking it up.

It's just the servers, which every single bit of the game are connected to.

The game itself is solid fun.
But the P2P connections is absolute bullshit

Gameplay's amazing. Networking issues make you want to put a bullet in your head. It's super frustrating because I had no issues during the closed beta, and that made me pull the trigger. Started having really bad issues halfway through the first day. Has never gotten better.

It's popularity makes me lose faith in humanity

I had no lag issues, it ran flawlessly, I was falling asleep within the hour of starting it

Save your money for Bannerlord and Mordhau. Don't support ubishit and their garbage netcode and shit combat design.

Definately getting some Chivalry feels from Mordhau

>Le dead game meme
jesus will you ever stop

>pc exclusive
Literally who
dead on arrival

>Implying

It's that bad, don't fall for the memes. A novelty for a while, but in the end something like Dark Souls accomplishes what it's trying to do way better. Ubihack is notorious for shelling out shitty products now.

>pc shit

no

Fun for the first 10 hours

Thats about it

How'd they get away with that price tag

This

Mordhau will blow this game out of the god damn water

Save your fucking money.

>Shitty servers.
>Most people are playing PK which is arguably way OP compared to other classes, either PK or rochies, both are easy to counter every other class in the game, to give you an idea, for every 1 of people playing another class these 2 have 15 players playing them.
>There's only four or five maps, each one is used in every game mode with different weather effects to make them look different.
>Every class has a bullshit I-win mechanic that's easily abused.
>The Territory war is rigged, and even if you make it to an enemy base nothing interesting happens.
>The ranking system is broken, at 108 Gearscore you can still get queued in with level 5 players.
>It's literally rock paper scissors the game.
>There will be times where you know you blocked something, but because you don't have host you didn't, thanks to P2P servers, Ubishit already confirmed they will only use P2P servers for this game.
>It's literally 60$ for an early access beta that's not even early access, Ubisoft literally thought this shit was worth 60$.


The game will die out soon like Evolve Stage 2 died, because they don't have any fucking clue how to balance the game.

AHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHA

but it's not even close to dying what are you talking about ?

It's fun until everyone figures out how the game plays and it turns into an idiotic game of guess-the-feint. It's basically a grittier, better graphics version of Soul Calibur with a fraction of the movelist or any semblance of a footwork game.

Also the servers are the worst I've ever experienced in a game.

I really regret my purchase.

You're right it's already dead.

Kind of embarrassing to have these numbers after being released not that long ago.

>clicker heroes above For Honor
Doomed to mediocrity.

>Steam numbers are the only numbers

>Playing on anything but a PC in the glorious year of 2017.

Only the faction war is Cross-platform, not the actual game so this is a pretty accurate number.

uplay exists

It's pretty bad when Rainbow Six, a game that also suffers terribly from server issues, is also from Ubi, has the same uplay requirement, and is a year and a half old has three times the players.

Buy it for 40.

Get your retarded console way bullshit out of here. I'm saying not everyone on PC uses Steam for the game. I bought it on GMG and I use Uplay only.

That's fine, keep telling yourself the game is still alive as you wait in queue for another 5 minutes.

The metagame fucking bows and the balance team are retarded and can't play their own game. Once you learn the REAL meta it's boring as sin.

wait for Bannerlord/Mordhau on this one lad

Even if that's the case, it's quiet clear the game is bad and dying.

See

>Mordhau

Atleast Bannerlord will be good

the servers make the game unplayable 20 hours out of the day.

skip it. Even on console, skip it. Somehow the console servers are worse than the r6siege console servers, which haven't worked for ~80% of people I know who try to play it, since launch. Out of a 400 person group I can't find anyone who says for honor works for them, it's pretty fucking disappointing.

Connections are the best part.
>enemy player runs up and feints, tricking you into a guard and ultimately dying
>connection fuckery occurs and rewinds three seconds
>job him this time
>know he's on the other end raging

>Mordhau

People still use Steam outside CS and Dotafags? ...but why?

> Even Stardew Valley has more players

It's not about the fact people still use steam, it's about the fact 50% of the players who were using steam to play it had already dropped the game, face it. It's fucking AWFUL.

Mordhau > Bannerlord

face it bannerlord's shitty combat just cant compete

but bannerlord comes with an actual videogame attached

there are glaring balance issues in the game right now
>Peacekeeper can attack faster than two (3?) characters can switch block with one of her combos
>2 (3 with bad positioning) Characters have abilities that force you to take a 50% stam loss or make a 50/50 guess to escape their combos, you cannot act to dodge them to punish without guessing, you have to either eat the risk or go for a stamina crunch which puts you at a big disadvantage
>1 character has an ability that no character can punish (only evade) that gives a free followup attack
>1 character has an ability that 3 characters can punish on an incredibly tight window(between 2 and 7 frames depending on the character, assuming it's done on reaction) but is otherwise unpunishable (only evadeable), that gives a free attack on followup
>Ledges are plentiful on almost every map and several characters can push you all the way to one nearly regardless of positioning on one grab or parry
>Raider and valk have combos that clearly aren't supposed to combo but do if there's even the slightest elevation difference (to be fair though these characters are really weak and need all the help they can get)
>Many other quirks that make things feel unreliable or inconsistant

I'm not even going to get into how broken gear is in the other gamemodes

And the network problems blow, it makes literally every other 4v4 game have a problem in some way

>it just the servers?

Don't tell me you think there are dedicated servers. Xbone user?

Bought it twice, once at full price and the other at $55

Worth it but it has connection issues
