So after several matches in the 3 multi-player options we had for the closed Alpha. I have come to the conclusion that For honor is going to a beautiful game. I hope that the campaign is just as captivating as the graphics.
So when it comes to connectivity, I was disconnected for inactivity even while still in the mist of battle and bloodshed during Dominion 4 v 4. Also when I was able to actually complete a match then go in to the next match. I seemed to be the only live player on my team while the other had 4. It did get very annoying and discouraging.
I also noticed that I wasn't getting loot drops or experience after most of the matches I completed. I do like that fact that when you get loot drops you can dismantle it for experience.
The orders should also have a tracker pop up during game play. It would also be nice to be able to access them or change them in the middle of battle.
When you die in battle there should also be an option to change the hero in the Brawl and Dominion battles. There were several matches when I wish I had that option.
So far I did not run into any glitches nor did I try to recreate some that have already been mentioned in the forums. I was strictly trying to get my own feel for the game as in how i would play it. With my job and real life conflicts with gaming. This game so far seems to be better for people with no lives but to game. I also feel this game has a lot of potential to be amazing if it has a balanced reward system and not for just the ones that never stop playing.
Now that is my spiel on this close alpha, now for my nephews thoughts and input which are put below.
Graphics- The graphics of the game are really good especially the water.The water looks about as realistic as it can get for this system which is a good. I Think the killing scenes look okay, it could get better the game graphics have that potential to be better gameplay wise.
Gameplay- The gameplay is good but not great but like every great game it has its flaws like to me the controls can get a little more simple but then again complexity is a good thing. Add a story for it this game has the potential for a great story line and the story line does not need to be all online based it should be offline. For the online gameplay & matchmaking the game has great options, out of the 3 options there are but they should be a lot more options. Give more options for styles of assassinations of each character.
