I respectfully disagree. Souls pvp was pretty deep. Vast array of weapons and move sets to memorise and counter. This is just moving an analogue stick in one of three positions.

You're absolutely wrong about that. Give the game a shot, you'll be surprised.

 

[wamberz1]

Wait until I learn how to counter your stupid ass.

Which class specifically are you having trouble with? People here would probably give a few pointers.

Indeed. If only this game had multiple weapons and movesets to memorize and counter.

Lol

 

[ColdHoboKiller]

Sounds like you don't know how the game works then.

Havent really lost that much. So I beg to differ

 

[Ferrio]

That's not a good metric to go by. I could beat a bunch of scrubs in dark souls PvP and claim the same thing.

 

[Nothus]

Anyone struggling to find games on PS4 right now?
Can't find any brawl matches whatsoever. Literally none.

I struggle with all the viking ones but especially this stupid ugly big axe swinging asshole who comes running across the map, grabs your ass and carries you to the Endzone

 

[Wind's Howling]

Fun game and a fun concept but it quickly becomes frustrating once you are surrounded by 3 people.

I don't see this becoming popular. This is definitely one of those games that a small amount of people will support, and the rest will just move on to Battlefield or another Call of Duty.

It is a shame. The direction is there, but Ubisoft fails to hit a lot of nails right on the head. The balance is one of the things I hate.

I swear that I got poisoned in a battle and the other guy didn't even had to do anything but just watch me die in agony. It is just one of these games that rarely ever requires skill, but patience. Not my cup of tea, unfortunately.

Not to mention that the cheap amount of deaths I had by battling an enemy, and he decides to flurry attack thus having me block every incoming attack. I am fine with that, but not if that block renders me useless and I can't stop myself from reaching that edge of the cliff.

 

[Durrzerker]

You on PC? If so, I feel obligated to duel you now.

Yeah, it's going pretty slow for 1v1's right now. Weird since the 4v4 kill seems to fill up faster than finding a 1v1 match. Still getting matches ever 45 seconds or so though

Don't block then, parry instead.

 

[ColdHoboKiller]

Yep. Free on Saturday if people really wanna kick my ass. Which I kinda want. Maybe I'll see some depth then because so far I'm really not seeing it.

 

[Wind's Howling]

Hardly doable when you are stuck inside an animated loop.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

I love Souls combat but it's not deep, it's a super basic system that's good because it's executed well. There's nothing particularly intricate about it.

 

[Durrzerker]

cool. Add me @Buttzerker. Wanna see whatcha got.

 

[Ferrio]

You're not stuck in anything. If you're blocking, you can parry.

 

[Enclose]

What is this constant #ad hashtag bullshit on twitch streamer titles when some good viewed twitch streamer plays this game lol. never expected this on a ubisoft title at all.

 

[deoee]

Hardly doable when you are stuck inside an animated loop.

You can also roll.

Also how do I party?

cool. Add me @Buttzerker. Wanna see whatcha got.

I'm taking a break right now, will message you later okay?

 

[Sande]

I respectfully disagree. Souls pvp was pretty deep. Vast array of weapons and move sets to memorise and counter. This is just moving an analogue stick in one of three positions.

Yup, you nailed it. That's why there is a 10+ entry move list for every class and a legend for explaining all special move types, not to mention several long tutorials you have to go through before you can hold your own against someone who knows the gameplay systems.

I'd respond in length but that last sentence genuinely makes it look like you're not even interested in a discussion or the game.

 

[ColdHoboKiller]

cool. Add me @Buttzerker. Wanna see whatcha got.

Will do. Fairly sure my uplay is the same as gaf name.

 

[Wind's Howling]

You're not stuck in anything. If you're blocking you can parry.

Ever tried blocking that combo swirl attack from the berserker? Trust me. It doesn't work. You need to basically wait for their stamina to deplete. I had that shit happen to me countless of times.

Was talking to Hobo, but sure! I can't play 'til 7Central or so anyways, working.

Parry right, homie. Or just roll away. It moves really slow. That's like one of our worst attacks for single target lol

I added you earlier


I'm from Germany tho, how many hours from now?

 

[CyberPunked]

Seems to be running pretty well

Like, 3. 2 and a half. Somewhere around there.

I don't main him so I don't have much to offer in the way of advice, but:

- The minimap is your friend. Have one eye glued to that shit at all times. Okay, maybe not, but it's great for telling you when someone is about to stab you in the back/run away while carrying you during a duel.

- Raiders big orange attack is unblockable, and has a wide range so its hard to dodge... but it has a HUGE startup. Parrying it is fairly easy once you've done it once or twice.

- If you see raider dodge to the left or right, block high. I believe the attack that he does after a dodge to blind always comes out high. (I could be wrong on this, cant remember for sure...)

 

[RoKKeR]

Some abhorrent lag right now, wow. Teleporting, "recovering network connection", etc. etc.

 

[Jay Shadow]

I was surprised when I went to make a config for my Steam Controller and they already had one.

 

[ColdHoboKiller]

Seeing as you're all hating on me for my opinion. You can feel free to add me and kick my arse.

*On PC and name is same as Gaf*

 

[GodlyTwins]

If I download the beta will it help with preloading the full game? Don't want to download ~20gbs that might not help with preload.

On PS4.

 

[Jaeger]

"This content cannot be selected at this time." is the message I get when trying to download the beta.

I'd rather just roll dodge effectively. It is still a shit way to die. Being "pushed" of the edge. Damn.

I can still win plenty of times in battles. I just never get the feeling that I am getting somewhere in terms of progression and getting better. There are still a ton of stupid ways you can die, ways that have nothing to do with skill or dedication.

Which character are you playing?

 

[Memory]

Fun game, looks awesome. I don't think it will hold my attention so i'm going to skip for now. Maybe i'll pick it up when they release more game modes and characters down the line.

Very happy to see you can play any match with just bots if you choose.

Idk, when I die, 90% of the time I'm outplayed in duels or rushed by multiple enemies.

 

[Wind's Howling]

That Peacekeeper woman. I absolutely loathe heavy based characters.

Focus on duels, and find consistent sparring partners. You're not gonna get better in Dominion, that's mostly for easy leveling and team play. If you wanna improve, head to the duels, play 'til someone beats you, then ask for tips.

I got good by playing over and over against people who kicked the shit out of me and asking them for tips. Usually people will be friendly and give advice if you do, though of course you get the odd shitter.

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

Think of this one all on your own?

Too funny.

That's the thing, though. I hate 1vs1 battles so you will never see me playing that. I always played CTF or Team Deathmatch type of modes. Probably one of the reasons why I won't get this Day 1.

 

[Ferrio]

That Peacekeeper woman. I absolutely loathe heavy based characters.

Okay. So you know peacekeeper can't keep up blocking 100% of the time? All assassin classes can only block for a brief amount of time. She also has deflection in addition to parrying, so might be another way to help counter an assault.

 

[Budi]

I was surprised when I went to make a config for my Steam Controller and they already had one.

How is Steam controller compared to just KB/M? Have you tried both? Or anyone else who can give their impressions? I've played so much on KB/M now and I wouldn't want to waste this open beta trying to get familiar with a controller. But if Steam controller is much superior, I maybe should.

 

[Durrzerker]

Yeah you're probably not suited to this game, then. Nothing wrong with that, but this is a Fighting Game, and in fighting games, you gotta grindstone some 1v1s out to get better.

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

Confirm something for me...Gear Stats.
1v1 - OFF
2v2 - OFF

4v4 Deathmatch/Elimination - ON
4v4 Dominion/ Domination - ON

 

[Durrzerker]

Confirm something for me...Gear Stats.
1v1 - OFF

4v4 Deathmatch/Elimination - ON
4v4 Dominion/ Domination - ON

Correct.

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

Correct.

And 4v4 Skirmish is not in the beta?

 

[Durrzerker]

And 4v4 Skirmish is not in the beta?

Also correct. It's 1v1, 2v2, Dominion, and Elimination.

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

Also correct. It's 1v1, 2v2, Dominion, and Elimination.

Love you. Thanks

I know. That requires a constant precise flick on the analog stick in order to counter attacks. I prefer to roll dodge most of the time, works wonders. But there's the occasional Viking axe asshole who just decides to lift me up and makes me his homerun football.

 

[Wind's Howling]

Guess that is definitely the thing. I do love the concept, though. I always think that these type of games have a great community the first month, but then quickly becomes filled with people who play nothing else.

This in turn makes the entire game filled with elite people, knowing every ins and outs. I highly doubt that, for someone like me who only plays 4 hours per week, this is something I can stay good at if I don't spend hours upon hours "learning"

EDIT: Shit. Double post.
