War of the Roses

[Vexus]

Just like in this game, but if they want people to like what they see and buy the game they should make some gameplay videos and especially the trailers not only filled with players holding the attacks every single time, it makes the game look boring/slow.

I don't get how the creators themselves didn't notice this.

Reminds me off gameplay when Warband was still quite new. The mechanics seem to work, but the guy playing it is just horrible. No timing, no blocking, trouble picking attack directions and facing the enemy at the same time. It's just noobs playing.

[ManOfWar]

anyone who plays this game will be good at blocking holds

Just by the way: there's a dedicated forum for further discussion of WoTR already and 'tis much like TW forum too, so any TW forumites will propably feel quite at home.

'tis much like TW forum too,

So why would I even consider going there?

[Thovex]

Without alot of the TW forum haters.

[Weren]

So why would I even consider going there?

I meant that they both have very much the same outlook and features, not that the userbase
or its mindset would be the same. I guess ye already figured that, though.

doesn't look very skill based, more like a FPS spawn shooter, just yeah medieval melee/range based.
but maybe thats just cus of the early stage the game is in and the testers just are to noobish in it.
(also that execute thing just looks awfull, its the same animation every time, also why execute people if they can respawn then, let them lay on the ground camped by your teammates and the round is won  )
i don't see how this game will be able to draw in much of the M&B folks for a longer period, prolly many will buy it and play/test it for a little while, but sooner or later this just gets meh...

and we end up playing M&B again until M&B 2 comes out

I'm not impressed, doesn't look very fun.

[Leshma]

Shooting seems fine, quite good actually.

Riding doesn't look bad.

Melee combat is awful.

[Kato]

For the first time it doesnt looks bad, probably because player had some mount and blade experience.
Actually it could be fun, but melee combat needs a lot of tweeking.

Regenerating arrows over time 

This is verrrry stupid for them to add it ingame.

[Overdriven]

In all fairness he only started with about 12 arrows.

To be honest with tweaks and fixes I think this is looking very promising. Certainly as promising as Warband did. I actually like the way it's beginning to come together.

And remember IT IS PRE-ALPHA. Hell the guy even says they are about to go into alpha and they will be in that stage for at least 4 months.
