Could anyone fill me in on war of roses please?

[Nightmare798]

I have heard that the game is horrible, but what exactly makes it so? I was thinking of trying it, but I hear people saying all the time the game sucks tragically. What gives?

[Thovex]

You can believe the people on their word

[Miwiw]

If you didn't play it yet, don't start thinking about it!

It's bad and it's dead.

They already replaced it with War of the Vikings. They only changed the theme but the game itself is probably similar. At least it was when I played the Beta.

It's bad and it's dead.

*cough* biased *cough*

But yah its bad.

Here is my thread in the game's subforum: http://forum.melee.org/war-of-the-roses/my-view-of-the-game/

Things are a bit outdated in that thread but overall, not much has changed. Want a to-the-point opinion? It has pretty graphics and that is all. Despite the things it tries so hard to achieve and the ones it actually achieves, it is still no match for Warband.

[Banok]

there were quite a few things I actually like in war of the roses, didnt play it much tho

but most of those things seem to be cut out for war of the vikings. basically super simplistic chivalry outsold them, so they decided to dumb down the game alot to compete it seems (mounted combat, build customisation etc).

I think the already existing threads about it should have filled u in more than enough, so u shouldnt have made another thread for it. Damn it man, we even have a separate board for it. What more do u want?

[Christo]

It's shit.

There, you know everything about war of the roses.

[Umbra]

I bought the game and played it for like 5 minutes only. I tried to bullshit steam support to get my money back. It is THAT bad

[Angantyr]

I've only tried it once, but I'd probably play it if there was no WB.

[Joseph Porta]

Its fun, but after an hr or so you are done with it and install WB again. 

[Fredom]

The first 20 hours were fun for me but then I played Warband, then WotR again and it sux balls.
Because?
Because the fighting system is fucked, it's laggy, cav is 10 times more OP than cRPG's. And every1 there has no right mouse button. Nuff said

[AntiBlitz]

thats because it punishes good behavior like blocking by eventually breaking your weapon if you block too much.

The xbow has a minigame that u must play to reload, and it will one shot u from across the map.

Every cocksucker in that game has some sort of one shotting maul that makes your head explode when they hit u regardless of armor.

the bow also has a short minigame to pull the bow back if i remember, like aligning stuff in a circle for accuracy or something.

If you want to get anywhere near any of the good weapons, you will end up buying gold to spend it for in game purchases.
