Title: Which Medieval games do you currently own?
Post by: Nessaj on August 30, 2014, 07:01:15 pm: Yo ho everyone.

If a handful of you would please do this poll we (Donkeys) would hugely appreciate the effort!

Please note that we're not asking if you are playing these games, we're asking if you have bought them.

If people want to share their feelings about said games, e.g. features you like the most and otherwise, anything you can think of really, that'd be great too but not a requirement.

Do something lads.

/offtopic

The Warband/cRPG mechanics is just far too superior to the rest of the games listed, I can't play the others for more than 2 hours.

(I plan on buying Kingdom Come: Deliverance).

You can buy Deliverance via their site, as a pledge, or if you backed it on Kickstarter earlier.

I edited the option to reflect it.

Keeping an eye out for Kingdom come, but pretty sure I will buy it at some point. If people say it's shit, I'll wait until a 2 euro sale on steam, if it looks good, I might even get it on day one.

Post by: Joseph Porta on August 30, 2014, 07:23:38 pm: Just Warband, my mate found m&b too hard and bought chivalry and he liked it - reflects what kind of gamers prefer chiv over m&b(lazy omg too hard must be bad kind of persons)

Tried chiv at his place - took me half a round to figure out how inferior it is to m&b.

I do plan on buying kc:deliv, but isnt it Single player?

During the beta the Devs of WoTR already showed how the game was going to end up as something silly and they refused to listnen to any feedback whatsoever. Plus that gordon guy being a dick. Meh, I am disgusted that people are buying their game voluntarily.

In all seriousness though, we are interested in how overlapping gamers are regarding medieval games. If people are fine with having one or try out some/all others.

6pm and 18 players on EU1.

there are around 100 players around that time in EU2, there are people who don't like fighting HA/CAV and would rather have a inf vs inf. also since conquest is introduced people prefer to play siege more than battle nowadays.

I've owned all except Kingdom come, warband is by far the best game i've ever played and its always is. Its highly modable, tons of mods available for download. the ability to block left, up, down and right and all that skills required to do well really hooked me in. all other medieval games almost required no skills at all, warband required a ton of skills. Great medieval combat and battles, awesome game. cRPG even made warband like a mmorpg, if this is on the market will definitely buy.

Title: Re: Which Medieval games do you currently own?
Post by: elvis1325 on August 30, 2014, 08:07:00 pm: I own WOTR, Chivalry (And the expansion), and of course Mount and blade.

WOTR: I thought WOTR was a bit clunky in terms of game play. The melee was slower, yet felt harder to block. The horse controls were also hard to use compared to Mount and Blade. I still thought it was an alright game though. 5/10

Chivalry: Love this game. The dismemberment, the first person, the swings and hits which felt like they had weight to it. All of this made it feel like a great game. I would say it was more of a fun game to dismember and maim people than it was to actually duel and be competitive. But that's what made it fun. Pure medieval combat. 8/10

Mount and Blade: This is a faster game than the other ones. It is competitive, has fast game play, and it is filled with crusty veterans and no lives. These three things make this game a great, addictive experience which will satisfy only the elite master race for many years to come. 10/10 Would pledge my life to.
Title: Re: Which Medieval games do you currently own?
Post by: Wraist on August 30, 2014, 08:08:19 pm: MB, and Chiv. Chiv players are so subpar compared to MB players that I topped using only the hunting dagger, and frequently topped using only fists [which is surprisingly a lot easier than the daggers]. The two mechanics I liked in Chiv were the ducking and the body manipulations by looking [ducking+looking down could make you avoid high hitting horizontal attacks while they're recovering, and looked down overhead allows for sped up attack time], oh and the taunts.

Post by: 722_ on August 30, 2014, 09:00:45 pm: Mount & Blade Warband - yep, great game

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare - yep, made the mistake of buying it before how i knew how the combat worked and ended up barely playing it after finding out the hard way.

War of the Roses - yep, was quite fun in beta but became a complete spam fest with no reason to even attempt to block attacks.

War of the Vikings - no, after trying WOTR decided better of it

Kingdom Come: Deliverance - no looks interesting but not really a multiplayer game

Post by: Thryn on August 30, 2014, 11:52:59 pm: M&B: nuff said

Chivalry: I don't like it, but I do like how the MAA can dodge (double tap WASD and move)

WotR: Uhhh, no firearms pls and the combat is inferior to M&B - I hate the weapon breaking and how you can heal yourself (and insta repair your blade); Oh, and I don't like bleeding

WotV: Didn't buy cus WotR

KCD: Single player, looks really fun though

Verdict: I want a M&B game with better graphics and more fluid animations pretty much (m&b are really hacI love youlashy); other than that, the hardest thing to get down right would be balancing IMO; and fuck HA's :D

WHAT IF when someone parried you, instead of bouncing of like you're using a rubber schlong, your blade kept with the same motion, just changing trajectories after impact with the other blade? I think that'd look pretty fluid.

War of the Roses - got it from humble bundle, didn't play and propably will not play
War of the Vikings - nope

Title: Re: Which Medieval games do you currently own?
Post by: woody on August 31, 2014, 11:58:17 am: Chivalry is awful. Simply awful.

Medieval total war was good for the strategy side, always wanted a game where you had 20-30 individualised followers on a much smaller scale.
Title: Re: Which Medieval games do you currently own?
Post by: Patoson on August 31, 2014, 12:19:45 pm: I liked Chivalry for the war cries / voices and the mutilations, and War of the Roses for the armour detection (a quick sword blow would bounce on plate unless you hit a "hole" in the armour), but cRPG is definitely better in everything else.

I pledged for KC:D and await the alpha. It's the singleplayer game I've always wished for (no magic or fantasy in it).

Post by: NejStark on August 31, 2014, 12:26:31 pm: I'm not sure how representative this experience is, but I tried a trail of Wotr(beta maybe, cant remember), then got a mail 'in error' giving me the full game, then when Wotv came out, I was given it because i already had Wotr... I own both, but I did not pay any money for them (or want them, after 5 mins of playing wotr).

I bought M&B on recommendation of a rl friend (Byzantium_Supy0).
Pros:
Big battles
responsive control of chars in combat
Can pick up arrows etc fired by other ppl.
Brutal (an acquired taste surely)
Wide choice of gear.
Well implemented cavalry play (I hadnt seen that before in a game).

Cons:
Not incredibly pretty.
Does not alt+tab very happily.

I bought Chivalry because colleagues wanted to play some medieval lan battles at lunchtimes. They thought M&B didnt look (aesthetically) very good, so we (~15ppl) got chivalry.
Pros:
Taunt animations.
Dismemberment.
Quite pretty.

Cons
Small battles,
Limited gear,
Combat feels unresponsive often
No fine control of weapon (left click is always swing, timing determines direction).
Title: Re: Which Medieval games do you currently own?
Post by: Tomas_Miles_again on August 31, 2014, 12:51:56 pm: 1) Please make a singleplayer mode
I really enjoyed Mount and Blade singleplayer campaign, I wouldn't underestimate how valuable a singleplayer campaign is as part of the game.
Even if you added mod support and let the community do the scripting and coding, that might be enough. I understand that making AI enemies and scripting a campaign might be considered unneccesary time overhead for a multiplayer game.

2)Fast paced melee combat
Warband multiplayer was easy to learn, hard to master, etc but also fast enough to be fun (I found WotR far too clunky).

3) Scalable graphics
The graphics of WotR were nice and shiny, but I prefer the fact that Warband (and cRPG) run smoothly on my laptop. I would beg you to consider creating an alternate low spec (Direct3D 9?) graphics pipeline if you are aiming to target Direct3D 11/12. Or even OpenGL :lol:

But i've tried WotR in one of thoses free-steam-weekend, and honestly didn't like it. Played maybe 10min into it, after a buggy practice.

After checking the reviews (and if they're good enough), i'll probably get Kingdom Come : Deliverance.

Thats what I use, but with multiple monitors, unless you bring another window up on top of M&B, or are in a M&B menu that uses the mouse, its still not happy. Not really on par with alt+tab functionality of most modern games.

Warband is best, and if Bannerlord is ever finished its an instabuy. Hopefully it can be bought standalone like Warband as I don't like using third party apps to play games. If only I could get a refund on those other games.
Title: Re: Which Medieval games do you currently own?
Post by: kwhy on September 03, 2014, 01:43:53 am: I picked up Warband after playing WOTR for a bit and tried cRPG...and was hooked and never looked back to WOTR. WOTR was fun, but lag advantage (high pings could swing thru blocks) and and extreme balancing issues made it extremely frustrating to play during the initial release (loading it up right now to see how it is)

I own Chivarly and found it hilarious fun to play with all the gore, war cries ect, but not nearly as challenging as Warband (Native, cRPG, and now BOE). I haven't touched it since it first came out.

Kingdom come looks promising and look forward to playing that along with Bannerlord and Meelee Battlegrounds.

I would love to see someone come up with some sort of chain physics that allows you to swing flails around. Maybe move your mouse around and around in circle to swing it and keep it moving. That would be pretty cool to see in game.

Bottom line that almost any game out now that has some sort of directional blocking/attack combat is usually an instant buy or at least a look. The medieval portion is cool, but I wouldn't mind seeing some sort of mad max/fallout post apocalyptic game with directional blocking/attacking along with limited guns that could be just as fun to play.

I'm not sure how representative this is, but as someone who has found and installed the Crpg mod for Mount & Blade Warband, then registered a crpg forum account which allows me to vote and post here on this particular thread, I appear to own the game Mount & Blade Warband.

I suspect poll may be skewed slightly :P

That was my initial thought, but comparing 'other game results vs respondents' (who all obviously own WB) will give more useful indication of other game attach rates than 'other game owners vs everyone who has a forum/crpg account'.

Title: Re: Which Medieval games do you currently own?
Post by: CrazyCracka420 on September 05, 2014, 04:18:21 pm: Chivalry was pretty fun to just jump into and play around for 30 minutes, but longer than that and it got old and repetitive. The game modes were pretty fun, but the maps were awful and not enough maps (massive choke points everywhere). The other thing I didn't like about melee was that your swings were always the same pattern, right to left, left to right. You could control an overhead or stab, but the normal attack was always right to left, then left to right etc.

WotR was complete garbage (didn't buy it, only played the free beta). Way too lame with the QTE to kill (or save) someone. The "feedback" when you swung your weapon was garbage. There seemed like there was no difference or delay between swings if you swung and hit someone, swung and missed, or swung and were blocked. You could recover in the same amount of time no matter what happened. Also it was hard to tell when you actually hit someone (aside from some numbers popping up above their head, which was fucking dumb too).

I played in the Warband MP beta and it was fucking awesome from day one. There's been lots of ups and downs with native MP, but it was loads of fun for a long time. After I burned out on that I started playing crpg MP. All the while since Warband was released I was playing native single player, and dozens of mods for it (even basic ones like battle sizer, TweakMB, etc). Warband is by far the best medieval game I've ever played, and c-rpg took it to the next level with "balance" (trollface) and implementing better game play mechanics. If it wasn't for a horribly difficult (both perceived and reality) cliff to climb as a new player, c-rpg would have a lot more people playing it over the years.

I'm looking forward to KC: Deliverance, or Life is Feudal (even though I likely won't have time to play them for a couple years).
