More grittier stuff? | Forums

[Ianoneshot]

im sorry guys but we'll never have this in for honor... having taken some time off the game and playing some matches more recently, it looks abundantly clear that they just made a sort of arcade game (with a good combat system ok) with small "maps" (arenas sounds better) where you run around killing, making cool/dumb executions and emotes, with objectives being there just so people feel they are doing something. this game is entirely about the looks, but not the looks we want. people (better: kids) want to be a shiny-rainbowy lawbringer that rides his poleaxe after killing someone with a spectacular executions.

they are ENTIRELY focusing on the animations. and they are very good at it! the animations are well made. too bad they put all their efforts there instead of thinking about the freaking gameplay , and that the animations go towards meme-esque stuff

That's why I think kid population in video games are destroying a, once very unique game, into something were its all shiny and full of memes and unoriginal.

That's not what was being insinuated though.

You can still have shiny and polished gear that still looks gritty, realistic, usable, battle-ready. Not decorative, ornamental, bejeweled pieces that we stole straight from a museum, don't look usable, don't feel right, and certainly don't mix right with most of the armors we wear. And most certainly don't ever fit in For Honor if you ask me.

The problem you're hinting at, is that most of the "real-looking" pieces we currently have, are common tier (i.e. not really shiny and have some broken parts here and there and are mostly wood and of basic design). While the higher-end pieces are... museum pieces.

The difference between these two swords is hilarious if you ask me, and you can pretty much tell which one looks deadlier than the other, and which one would break in half after a few trades:

But some of us do want museum looking pieces. I want something that looks like the 2 pics you posted as opposed to a clean, shiny, typical sword. Again I want my armor and weapons to reflect my rise to power. I want them to appear as almost ceremonial weapons with functionality. I as a Knight have taken the spoils I desired from the lands I have conquered. And I'll be damned if those spoils do not adorn my crown and armor.

I understand you guys would like variety, or maybe the option, but I like the designs they've released. I was never a fan of a lot of emotes and effects, but that's another topic. The armor and weapons are perfect to me.

Options for either way would be nice... I think that’s the point more so than anything.

Nothing wrong with this.

Nothing wrong with this.

ya I;m saying not to take away the ceremonial stuff, but to add new content so then the devs can make it into ceremonial stuff like you like.

To me it just seems to reiterate what has been talked about for quite some time now: New armaments are wanted greatly. And while I do agree on the higher sets being pretty outlandish at times they can always be reskinned via something you do like. Of course that doesnt really fix the Problem of the rather nonexistent flow of content in that regard.

I suppose its not easy to offer numerous designs for a sword that all look like functional utilitarian swords.

As a WL i find i actually do have plenty of non gold sword blades. The crossguard/hilt/pommel is where things get goofy, and dont get me started on his shields!! He has ONE, literally ONE shield that looks like it could be used in combat and it's his default! Everything else is some solid gold pizza tray
