Ramses do you still need that banner?
nope, new clan
. Thanks for asking anyway ;).
So after being away for two days there's now a page full of angry cRPG'ers cussing me out as delusional, idiotic and without any sense of reality. Boy your snowflakes feelings have really been touched haven't they?
If you would take a tenth of the time you used to tell me how stupid you think I am and instead tried to understand my point, we would have a far better and more informed discussion. But I suppose hating on random people because your feelings have been hurt over a video game you somehow fell attached makes you better inside. I'm glad I helped.
I could spend an hour debunking almost everything of what was said, but since most of you have so grossly misunderstood my point I'll just clarify it:
1. Okam holds more promise.
If you had even attempted to use a miniscule amount of time to understand my position, I did not speak of Okam economical promise - clearly BL is much more established and is much more hyped, I don't expect for a second Okam to make more money.
What it does do is it holds more promise for me. Take an objective look at BL and what they've shown through trailers, articles and interviews.
Its WB with nicer graphics and enhanced sp. That's it.
And while I am looking forward to playing BL sp and having good times with it, I'm also thoroughly disappointed. We've heard nothing of Co-op, nothing of expanded mp. I'm confident at this moment that multiplayer in BL will be like multiplayer in WB: get online and smack a few heads. Then leave when bored. Repeat.
There is NOTHING persistent about that and it gets incredibly boring after a short while. I don't see myself ever enjoying much of BL mp.
OKAM however is only mp and focused as such. Especially the strategic map (basically strat v2) is much, much, MUCH more promising to me than BL mp ever could be.
That is what I mean when I say OKAM holds more promise. Its holds more promise to me as a mp game. DOes that mean I have blind faith in the new devs? Of course not. But their vision of a game is infinitely better than Bannerlord, Warband, For Hounour, Chivalry and all the rest of the garbage medieval war games have. I'll take a fools hope over nothing at all.
2. Objectively, Okam has better combat mechanics.
A couple of reasons:
1. More realistic and in-depth armor and damage system.
2. Hitboxes better.
3. No random crushthrough (on weapons like polearms).
4. More attack directions.
5. Better animations.
Some of the above might be my opinion and therefore subjective, but it is bassed on objective, provable factors and I dare any one of you to find me an area and PROVE that WB is superior to Okam in the aforementioned 5 categories. Go on, prove me you believe what you say.
