Close to any current game out there in terms of control/game play
I saw a kid get handed a JB poster by who I presume was his parents outside my store today....he tore it in half infront of his horrified parents.....There's hope for our youth yet!

I've played it a bit, and it's fun, but I'm still getting used to the controls. I keep forgetting to move my mouse around to block/aim at different areas. I'm thinking I might try a 360 controller if I can, the game seems more tailored to controllers than mouse and keyboard and it might help cut down on my confusion. I don't know if I've played any games precisely like it, but it's certainly interesting.

Hows the PC version coming? This game is definitely on my radar. Initial feedback has been quite good, too.
Also, are teams culture locked? Do we have samurai fighting next to knights? Not sure I like that. Makes it feel more cinematic to have two opposing factions.
Each culture is more like a class than a faction. PC version looks great, it's a gorgeous game. Runs well as well, though I agree it feels like the controls are more designed for a controller than kbam. CTRL to target someone and ALT to swap targets is ridiculous. Switching guard position feels like it would be more natural for a thumbstick than a mouse as well.
It's absolutely more natural using a gamepad. The keyboard controls are pretty bad. I actually managed to beat the 2v1 at the end of the practice with controller, though once it gets that hectic I forget everything I learned about how to attack and combos and stuff.
Got into some vs. AI matches, and it was kind of fun. Maybe if I was playing with a regular group or something that could be neat. I think I still need a little more meat than that to sell me on the final product though.
you absolutely need a controller to play this otherwise you are at a significant disadvantage. PC looks great, it defaulted to all max settings on my 970 and runs fantastic. The amount of customization is absolutely absurd!
Yup, I left the party I was in because I had to check something and now I can't get into anything at all now. It still says my NAT type is unknown, and I have no idea how to fix that.
Peer to Peer and "premium" items that they're being awful secretive about whether they provide an in game advantage are my worries.
I don't know why p2p is acceptable. I enjoy playing games on consoles, but this shit was unacceptable 15 years ago on PC. That it's okay now is really irritating. They obfuscate it with giving little green/yellow/red bars that mean nothing and no net_graph or ping number.

I wouldn't really expect any different from the likes of Ubisoft.
Been watching some streams, and this looks like just the blend of Dark Souls and fighting games that I've been looking for. Why do we have to wait until next year!

You two should do some 2v2 stuff and give the rest of us some sort of "first impression" beyond what has been going on with streamers. Twitch is basically big streamers playing anticipated game with friends and being entertaining while ignoring chat (who can blame them really). Rainbow Six : Siege is a gem of a game, so I suppose this could end out the same way. I think Siege is good in spite of Ubi, they were too busy scrambling and selling The Division to notice an actual game with good shooting mechanics and interesting situations was being made.
My brother and I played some 2v2. I would use shield charge of the conqueror to open against one player then we would isolate the other player.
2v1 is really hard to counter, especially if you position properly. If you are correctly placed you end up hitting each other more than the opposition.
2v1 with the big Viking is good because he can do a jumping attack that hits them with the butt of his axe to stagger them and then the other player can cause big damage.
The Viking is also great at rescuing people as you can run in and pick up enemies (and throw them off ledges, into spikes, into walls where they also get a knee in the face).

If you have any (ps4) invites left I would happily try it out. Rille81 on uplay.

Man this game is fun, but as someone who is generally pretty shit at fighting games, having combos I'll probably never be able to remember be a major part of the combat is sort of frustrating.

Shame about cultures being more of a class. I really enjoy asymmetric factional warfare but it makes sense from a balance perspective.

Well there might be culture vs culture matches later on (haven't seen anything about this explicitly but it would make sense) I'm hoping so anyway.
Been playing mostly the Kensei and the Warden, tried out the Conqueror a bit too. Mostly I'm just trying to figure out the combos without relying on the special moves too much, keep forgetting them in an actual fight.

Man I finally started getting matches where I'm getting my shit kicked in.
Figures it happened at prime time hours. During the day I do pretty well!

I should try the Raider out but ehh they don't really interest me that much for some reason, and the Berserker seems pretty tough to get a handle on. Might just wait to try out the Vikings... ah well, Samurai and Knights it is for me

How do you block shoves? I thought it was mash square but that did not seem to work, maybe my timing was off. That said no one seems to be able to defend against my shoves either, making them like comically lethal.
late to the party, i'd be cool with a PC invite.
im notoriusben on uplay.
while im talking about uplay @evmaalsar refriend notoriusben, not n-ben.
n-ben was an account i made to try and switch my games over because i couldn't remember the notoriusben account.
stroke of inspiration that I was able to remember it and access my games... seriously, I can't remember all these dashboards, even with writing down passwords.

Also I personally hadn't seen this from the Ubisoft channel and it's got some campaign stuff and story info:
Also here are the lore trailers for a couple of the classes for each faction on their youtube channel for those who haven't seen them:
Samurai
Vikings

Edit: Nevermind, it was an email. Doh! Downloading now.
Thanks!
EDIT 2: Trololol spoke too soon, can't log into the website. Changed my PW and everything. I have never been able to log into a Uplay website.
You're on mine. Check your junk folder possibly, that was an issue earlier.
Because ubisoft is a fail at this stuff.
