The beta was fucking great and there was massive potential for improvement. The combat was smooth and satisfying while the animations were top-notch and responsive.
But of course Ubisoft is utterly incapable of not fucking everything up, and they decided to remove maps, shit up the connection to the point it becomes unplayable and add shitty "heroes" who have nothing to do with the fucking time period at all and are shitty generic as fuck boring cancer.

From my perspective as a history buff, I've never been more absolutely appalled by a game, including it's lack of potential. I think they had something going for it regarding it's 1v1 fighting, but at that point it should've been a fighting game instead. It's other modes were decent, but were too sloppily implemented while throwing skill and other factors out the window in favor of dudebro mechanics/gameplay. It would've been interesting to see all types of warrior classes/archetypes instead of "le knight" / "le vikang" / "le sam-moo-rhai". We could've had Aztec Jaguar Warriors, Chinese Warrior Monks, Arabic Scimitar Wielders, not to mention the "Gladiator" class which could've very well been it's own game with the different variations of real life Gladiator types.
And for DLC, they could've had "Modern" warriors like Haitian Machete Fighters or Australians

For Goner still surprisingly has a (((community))) and usually stays above 1000 players, they apparently added dedicated servers after enough people bitched at them for a whole year.
I don't think they know what the fuck they want to add onto the game anymore given the fact all the DLC characters except maybe Highlander and Centurion look completely out of place.
But that could probably be due to the change in lead development with some memester fuck named Roman yes his name is Roman taking charge with all future content in the game.
Honestly it feels fun to go back into every now and then with my buddy who gifted me the game but honestly it's going to entirely rely on your human RNG if the person is a DLC character shitter maining Shaman don't ask or if the game feels like working.

I have 180 hours into this fucking nightmare of a game. I only every come back towards the end of a season into the beginning of the next one. Seasons in this case are the major updates every three or so months. This is also the time when major changes to characters and balances are made, so unless it's a major game breaking bug, you're going to have to wait a while before that character you like possibly gets a buff it needs. For instance, when the Centurion got released in season 2, he was an absolute monster that made the game almost unplayable. It took the entire season cycle and then some before he got nerfed. Side note: I tend to notice a lot of developers these days, especially Ubisoft, going down this "season" route. I think Destiny also does it too. I wouldn't be surprised it's because their development cycle is so fucked that they have to plan stuff like that so far in advance because the pipeline of content and changes has to just keep fucking going.
Now, as for the game itself: up until this new season (5), the game has suffered immensely from the "defensive meta." What happens is if you parry someone's attack, whether it's a heavy attack or a light attack, you could follow it up with a free guard break (a grab). This could then follow into throwing your opponent into a wall to fuck them up royally, or a free heavy that you could possibly go into a safe combo with. Because of this game design, it was actually a bad fucking move to throw out an attack simply because of how easy it was to parry, and so everyone either just sat and waited for an attack to parry, or you might have a safe attack you didn't have to worry about. With season 5, that shit's gone. With a heavy parry, you are only guaranteed a light attack, and a light parry guarantees a heavy or a light attack, so no more bullshit wall hit attacks.
Another big problem that crept up as the game continued adding more characters was many of the newer ones were just so fucking good while the original cast got fucked. Conqueror (flail and shield guy who I have only played this entire time) got nerfed over time so hard that he basically couldn't go up against newer characters. Others also had significant problems. With season 5, a few of the original cast got some reworks, and now Conq is top tier. The problem with all of this is with the new mechanics put into place, a lot of the older characters still need some new moves to compensate, so balance is still all over the fucking place. It also doesn't help when the PC version is at 60fps while the console version is only 30, but you balance it as if they're the same.
With dedicated servers now available, pretty much all the horrendous latency problems are gone, but a big issue right now is still player numbers total. I went into the ranked duel tournament mode where you're put into a specific rank after 20 matches. I managed to hit Diamond 1 after only losing 2 matches. The problem now is that I can no longer find matches because of how high I was placed. You just need you and three other people to start a duel tournament, and since I got placed, I time out after 10-15 minutes of waiting. That's a big fucking problem if the game can't fucking match you with just three other people.
Right now, the game is going through some serious growing pains. It has been through a lot, but it's slowly starting to come together finally. Even still, if you're interested in the slightest, fucking wait longer, maybe until the beginning of the 6th season where hopefully more balance changes and reworks are done. Until that happens, stay the fuck away.

I'd also add when Conqueror used to have so much healing on block before they nerfed that tier 3.

Anon, you're sperging over historical accuracy in a fictional videogame.
Following your logic, I guess characters from Call of Duty shouldn't be called marines, spetsnaz, etc. because they're portrayed participating in conflicts that never happened.
The characters in for honor are just romanticized versions of the historical warriors, tailored to resemble what most people think of when they think about knights, vikings and samurai with popularized concepts, real or fake in origin.
I honestly have no problem with it at all. In fact, the game made me do research on the warriors the factions were based on. Plate armor wasn't around until the ~15th century, swords weren't the ultimate weapon on the battlefield, vikings never had horns on their helmets (at least from what we've found of their remains), samurai didn't use bamboo armor throughout their entire history, and so on and so forth.

Oh it goes more deeper than that with this game. A interesting part of this is that to push the gender equality. They have only one model for the soldiers which are basically minions from MOBA that show up in one of the game modes to fight over a point, they are all obviously male. However there are female voices lines that come from them while they are fighting, it begs the question if they got lazy or there was cut content and they just left this stupid part in.

Rainbow Six Siege turned out okay, probably because the team wasn't given enough money so the marketing staff didn't want anything to do with it since they couldn't milk the budget so the developers were actually able to be productive.
