That’s why it’s handy to “feint” a heavy attack, canceling the blow with a button press while still winding up. Heavy attacks take off chunks of a health bar, but can be seen coming a mile away. Light attacks are fast and hard to block, but they’re weak and only peck away at the enemy. Similarly, you can block an attack by positioning your blade in the right direction to intercept.īut then things get trickier. Press right on the stick and tap the attack button and your swordsman will hack or swing to that side. The right stick governs the position of your blade and direction of your attack. The idea starts with a simple rock-paper-scissors setup of left-right-and-top attacks and guards, but quickly layers in additional levels of complexity until it feels like a video game equivalent of fencing’s tactical wheel. The heart of For Honor lies in the deceptively deep “art of battle” system that governs one-on-one fighting. This is a game all about granular mechanics and very specific match-ups – you can still feel like a bad-ass, but you’ll need to work for it. If you’re expecting a Dynasty Warrior-like power-fantasy, or a breezy hack-‘n’-slash experience, this is not the game you’re looking for. While For Honor was supposed to bring the thrill of the duel to the surface, it feels more tucked away and obscured by poorly conceived game modes, obnoxious grinding, and technical glitches than it ever did in the deepest recesses of the Darkroot Garden.Īspiring warlords need to approach For Honor like a fighting game. Sadly, those moments are few and far between. As beautiful and brutal as one could hope. When For Honor is at its best, it is that game. Waiting for the slightest dip of the blade, the most innocuous shuffling of the feet, that micro-second moment of vulnerability to make your move.
A game that promised to take the tense beauty of staring down the edge of a blade and trying to get inside the mind of your enemy. That’s why I was so looking forward to For Honor. But, I stuck with it, the thrill of patient one-on-one combat too irresistible to ignore. It’s always been the domain of ad hoc fight clubs, risky invasions, and inevitable ganks. An interesting sub-game tucked away in a much richer and varied world. I’d painfully claw my way through the game with a sub-optimal build for taking on the monsters of the land with gear designed to give me a slight edge in the one-on-one combat with other players I craved, regardless of how it compromised me in other areas.Īnd through it all, PvP in Dark Souls was always a secondary feature. I’d carelessly wander into the Darkroot forest and willfully invite the protectors of those shaded woods to come and try to force me out of them. And as always thank you for your service.I spent a lot of time dueling other players in Dark Souls. Let me know if there is ANYTHING else my friend or I can do below. You've published a game with a revolutionary combat system and maintained a stream of new content regularly with new Heroes and maps (we could use more maps too, just my opinion) but have had issues with connection for years judging by the number of posts I've seen regarding this issue. Please, please, please - just fix network connection.
There is literally nothing wrong on our end and I made this post to bring it to EA's attention. I just want you guys to fix this issue so we can enjoy the New Season of FOR HONOR together. He's 24 and I'm 22 so it isn't an issue of underage account, which I saw referenced as an issue before. We both have Ipv4 ISP settings and Open NAT type. We both ran network connection tests, Nat type tests, multiplayer connection tests with no problem.
We've both restarted our Xbox Ones' multiple times (not turning off and back on - restarting them in the menu and unplugging their power and plugging them back in). My friend and I both have both quit the game and restarted it multiple times.
