For honor community and future
I will say I love this game. It’s a perfect poison of bs and just outright fun. Several problems but still a great game. But I made this thread to see what you guys think on for honor in general nowadays.
Me personally still play this game almost everyday and usually have a blast. I will say I’m concerned on how for honor will continue. It’s hard to not ask what’s in store for beyond this year. These concerns are based on a few big shifts as far as news goes and just keeping up with the game.
Pope has moved on to another project, Damien did earlier and I just watched the spliced vid on him moving on. Granted these are unrelated I’m sure but I’m just worried for the future of this game. I love it and nothing can be put in its place but we all have been here. I was part of the two closed tests and unfortunately missed the open beta before getting this game day one.
We all have seen it’s fair share of problems and ones that it still continues to have. The basic pillars of the fight system are good but need work. The game has been a beautiful work in progress. I mean cmon now we’re talking raider getting some love next season and I still remember when he got his first rework back in the beginning. Or warlord being the supreme parry master. Or Lawbringer being able to knock down people with his shove and this was all a long time ago.
We haven’t had GB on parry anymore ( thankfully) and we’ve seen new characters from an evolving fight team making these characters to expand the roster. We’ve seen some that are fun to play such as for each of us as well as those heroes we suffer through.
I remember when Shinobi would take 3 heavies and either be dead or damn near close. Or when cent would lock you up. Highlander was considered weak at the very start before people learned him and glad was considered the most op thing people have ever seen. And yet still the characters evolved. With the wu lin in marching fire to the black prior that has just recently been added. These designs are evolving as well as for honor.
Those who have played since the start know that everything was reactable. Heck we even thought a feint was a good play. There was the first few days where even changing the guard would cause people to breakdown there defense. Now look at it. Most of us react to 500ms attacks regularly. Now we deal with 400ms attacks and mind games to combat the turtle meta that dominated the game. We dealt with unlocked attacks and disconnects for the longest.
To me it’s so crazy to the progress the game has made. We’ve had a lot of bumps and I won’t deny it. There has been time where I wanted to pull my hair out with some of the decisions made. Yet I remain.
What about you guys? What makes For Honor special to you? Why do you still play it?
