So after a few weeks of playing the game, here is my honest opinion.
1) The simple things to get right for any game:
a) being able to join a friends game from his/her join party or game from the submenu on the left xbox one snap for friends and clubs.
b) would be great to have a way of seeing each characters moves list whilst in character customisation menu.
c) Character customisation is really very limited, no way to put an individual stamp on your chosen warrior. The colour schemes are pretty lame, the look and design of some of the costumes are just not that creative or pleasant to look at. We all wanna look the part and i feel quite cheated by the fact there is so little.
d) each character is fixed to his/her type of weapon, just plain lazy i think and the choice should extend further so that you can select another version of that characters type of weapon, I'm not saying that each character should be able to completely change the weapon they are using but at the very least there should be more options for similar types of weapons that the character specialises in.
2) take out all grenades, bow feats and generally all the dis honourable crappy ideas that have been put in...and sack the idiot who came up with it.
3) there are certain characters that are just overpowered, nobushi as an example, her bleed out damage and stuns are just crazily unbalanced. I would personally revisit the way that stunning a player is done. in fact take it out all together.
4) connection error messages and generally getting kicked from game happens way too often and to be honest , after only a few weeks of it, Im ready smash someone round the face with a mace...and anyone who contributed to this problem! What ever you have to do ubisoft get this fixed first!!
5) what kind of medieval game doesn't have horses and jousting at the very least! maybe your saving it for dlc but come on wtf!!
6) change the name of the game to For-Dis-Honor as this is a more fitting title! As everyone has experienced, when you have four players beasting down on you this sucks massively and there literally is no way of coming out of it alive. Seriously need to address this problem
BALANCING is the main word i would use to describe the problems overall with this game, on so many fronts. but as do most of us I'm sure i can see the potential of this game in a sequel, but boy will everything have to be way different from what it is now.
oh yeah and your greedy sons of B!$#&*S, those steel packs are a rip off and your outfit bundles really suck to look at and why anyone would buy them is beyond me. To finish off here is the thesaurus description for HONOR
honor: a tangible symbol signifying approval or distinction; "an award for bravery" Ubisoft you were brave to release this unfinished game
