Which Medieval games do you currently own?

[NejStark]

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).

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

only M&B but is not like I haven't thought about other games, they just don't fit my requirements

[sF_Guardian]

M%B only, its the only game that kept me hooked since it came out.

[Christo]

No Stronghold?

[vipere]

and Lord of the realm ?

[Krex]

M&B

Try alt+enter.

Only owning M&B-Warband currently.

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.

Warband and WotR. Played Chivalry in beta, wasn't bad but nothing special to persuade me to buy it. WotR played during beta, was awful. Got it as part of some bundle, tried it once more and was pleasantly surprised how it ended being even worse than it was during beta.

[NejStark]

Try alt+enter.

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.

[Kalam]

I play Chivalry once every couple of months because it's the only medieval action game my wife will touch. She doesn't play M&B because it's hard.

Planning on playing Deliverance because solo rpg with directional combat.

[To Kill A Dead Horse]

Add Crusader Kings 2 to the poll

[lombardsoup]

Warband, WOTV, Chiv, WOTR.  I'll buy Kingdom Come: Deliverance if there's a finished product worth spending money on.

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.

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.

Galactic President. Now that's cool.
