For Honor outlines an ambitious 3rd year of content - MMORPG.com News

If you're one of the throng still playing the online medieval action game For Honor, you're in luck - Ubisoft has loads planned for 2019.

I've purchased Marching Fire edition - didn't play any MF content at all. There is one rather strange game mode (duels with RNG mods) + four overly talkative Chinese characters. If you want to purchase it - get standard edition (not the cheapest starter - it's a trap).

Although the game itself is really fun - even though I don't play PvP modes. Or maybe - because I don't play PvP modes.

For Honor should have been a free to play game.

While I can admire Ubisoft's dedication to this game, it'll never be as popular as Rainbow Six. I think Ubi is trying to do that 'lets try and revive this like we did R6!" thing that they tend to do, but it's not going to pay off in this aspect.

The game itself has a harsh learning curve and highly encourages, in a weird twist, non-honorable play. More often than not in a fighting game, you feel accomplished if you win a 1v1, but in this game, if your not playing the 1v1 mode and partner dies, it quickly becomes a slaughter against you. Very rarely do you see someone winning a 1v2-3, which just feels bad in a fighting game like this.

Such a shame, cause I think they could have done a lot of cool things with this one.

I stopped playing entirely because of the power of grabs and the prevalence of unblockable attacks.

Unblockables shouldn't even exist in a game that is all about directional blocking, feinting, and directional attacks, but they're all over the place in For Honor, and they destroy the experience.

I meant to revisit this awhile ago when they added the PVE, So what exactly is the PVE experience like ? You still get gear drops , the customization was cool in the game alot of eye candy

Is it? I thought they just made it a limited time free unlock a while ago. Huh. Disregard that then.

I used to get annoyed by unblockables but they can be parried if you get the timing right and leave the enemy open for attacks. I suggest practicing your parry in practice mode (or PvE mode as well to keep progression going). I really still have a hard time countering the guard break.

Why would anyone ask for usual whale-targeted F2P crap with $5-20 characters, $10-30 costumes, $5-50 weapons, 10-20$ monthly premium etc. etc.?

Recently I've purchased a year-long premium for in-game currency I've made during couple weeks. The game is fine as it is, it's basically free past initial entrance ticket - which isn't even expensive (game cost less than a single costume in BDO).

Can we get a new Splinter Cell game instead?  Pretty please?  With a cherry on top?

There's only so many times I can do the same missions in Blacklist.

Not only can you easily stop grabs, but you can parry unblockables or dodge them [since most are slow and obvious].

Ubisoft shut down two games I was playing(both M&M) and one was right after a developer had a Q&A about "future plans" so I don't trust them to stick to their word about anything.

Yeah, I'm interested in this too. FH is actually quite a nice historic fantasy epic, I just don't care about intensive PvP.

The pvp looks pretty hardcore to me. My son likes those kinds of games and I hear him rage. He's not bad and him and his friends play well together, but there are some really good people that can make you want to break your monitor. Unbreakable or unblockable attacks, the new nerd rage trigger. So, it's pretty cool. I'd never play it. I have nothing but cusswords for a game like this.

How old is your son? Cause the only thing that makes me angry about this game is its price....
