/v/ - Video Games

Whoah. Showing Camels will surely make up for not showing up at 2018 E3.

How badly will this game disappoint?

Now that I think about it, Taleworlds now have an excellent opportunity to piggyback off of Kingdom Come's massive success.

>>14414269

More than Duke Nukem Forever, less than Metal Gear Solid V.

>>14414269

I think this is a Kingdom Come situation where most people are cautiously optimistic. The game looks good from all the previews I've seen so far.

so i should assume that rigging isn't automatic anymore?

which is technically a good thing

>>14414298

The only way they can fuck it up is if they deviate too much from Warband, which really doesn't seem to be the case.

Turkey has C-A-M-E-L-S

>>14414326

Do camels mean Bannerlord will have an AO rating in Saudi Arabia?

>>14414445

Isn't vidya haram?

>>14414492

Arabs, being the disgusting subhumans that they are, don't have any problems enjoying the fruits of Western technological development while whining about their "golden age" just as much niggers ook and eek about WE WUZ KANGZ.

>>14414328

>all these passable graphics

>not deviating from Warband

The higher definition graphics means that large skirmishes and sieges will be incredibly taxing. They should have went the other way: make the graphics shittier so you can have thousands of units on the map without stuttering.

>>14414530

They already said they spent a lot of time and effort on optimization so bigger battles could be created. Far as we know the biggest number of units they tested so far was around 500, but they mentioned they really haven't set an upper limit so it's very likely the game will scale well as more powerful hardware is introduced.

>>14414530

>The higher definition graphics means that large skirmishes and sieges will be incredibly taxing

They keep talking about optimization so the game doesn't become a slideshow.

>>14414540

I think that in a game like this, the number of enemies on the map should make Serious Sam look like a duel. 500 is pretty small really, considering how huge armies were and still are.

>>14414549

Yeah, it's optimized, but not for truly massive conflict. Even Warband shits itself when you have huge numbers of troops, but in a different way(you can't actually get up the siege ladders, horsemen keep ramming into eachother, etc.)

>>14414569

>Even Warband shits itself when you have huge numbers of troops

Only if you change the config file to spawn more NPCs in the map though.

>>14414241

>We Sandnigger faction now

There were turks already, so if anything we will get 2 muslim factions to remove.

>>14414610

>There were turks already

What?

There's no new faction anon, Aserai are the Sandnigger faction and there's no other one.

There was only camels today

>>14414530

Or, update your hardware instead of whining about devs not catering to your shit setup. I mean my computer could barely run Warband and there's no chance it'll run Bannerlord, but I'd rather they keep pushing the envelope forward anyway. There's no reason the game can't be prettier AND have bigger battles. It's nice having shit look good when you're playing in first person.

ITT: Jizzskins getting butthurt because the game focuses on the glorious Ottoman empire which lasted for 900 years

Can't wait to remove potato, so excited.

>>14414665

If anything, the game is primarily focused on the Byzantines. From what I've read a large part of the "main" quest will be centered around the three imperial factions and their attempts to unify the empire once again. Hopefully you get to fug the imperial princess.

>>14414665

Then why not just play RTW: Barbarian Invasion?

>>14414638

Aserai lad

>>14414685

You think i havent done so?

MnB doesnt means ottomans, so far they havent been featured in any MnB game, unless you consider the khergits to be the ottoman empire.

>>14414686

So turks?

>>14414710

BUTTERLARDS

>denuvolord

lost my interest once I saw them associating with denuvo. Now only corporate cocksuckers defend this.

>>14414241

Wonder if the release date got the hump to add this?

>>14414328

I fucking hope it deviates from Warband singleplayer-wise. It needs a better formula that has substance, depth and not be an endless drag to finish.

>>14414348

Maybe this time they'll make single player beatable without grinding for a hundred hours of countless repetitive shitstomp battles.

>>14417560

Most of the drag came from shitty sieges and lords constantly escaping and pulling new armies out of their ass. Sieges have been fixed, you can kill enemy lords and they have said they are now tied to the economy so if they are losing the war they can't magically get more troops out of nowhere, moreso if you hit their economy.

>>14417566

That's pretty good if true.

>you can kill enemy lords

Interesting, can the player get killed too since he's a lord? I wouldn't mind it a la Crusader Kings where you play as a heir when you die.

How pozzed will bonerlord be?

>>14417575

We know that the player character can age and die and then you, supposedly, take command of your heir, but the mechanic hasn't really been explained properly. IIRC there was some discussion on what happens to the character if they are defeated and people have theorized that it won't work like in Warband.

>>14417589

There's apparently female lords, but the inevitable rape mod will take care of that.

>>14415680

>denuvo is OK when these based turks do it

dude, stop being a stupid nigger. They're probably gonna end up using it, and it's just saving yourself the trouble by realizing its not worth the denuvo shitstorm.

If you wanna be on the defense of denuvo when the games out, be my guest.

>>14417575

I don't think you can die in battle but I've heard some rumours about dying of old age and heredity via a child with new stats.

>>14417589

Kill yourself >>>/leftypol/

I'm glad they're adding camels. It means there will be a proper sandnigger faction which will be the first one I will wipe out, everytime.

>>14417591

>They're probably gonna end up using it

Just like the countless other devs that emailed the Ex Sony Austrian kikes and never used their garbage software right?

Fuckoff

>>14417595

There was a proper sandnigger faction added in Warband though.

>>14417597

and the countless others that did. Good look defending denuvo because it's gonna be in a game you like. That's an outstanding way to approach a new release, like a fanboy faggot. Haven't seen that one before.

>>14417602

Yeah but they were just reskinned normal people.

Sandniggers are not normal people, and their mounts will now reflect this.

>>14417591

>They're probably gonna end up using it

You really think so, when they're pushing for the game to fully support mods? When so many have already voiced their opinion about Denuvo to them? I know you desperately want to shit on the few decent video games left on the horizon and be left with nothing but shit, but at least wait until there's proper confirmation.

Some leaked email of them inquiring about that shitty DRM isn't enough to go around screaming "It's fucked!".

Go bait somewhere else.

>>14417603

>If the gane had Denuvo you will defend it

>Denuvo is uncrackable goy

Kill yourself kike

>>14417613

He's a goon trying to disrupt the board by sliding threads into derails by consesus cracking anything even close to controversial.

He's been doing it to other threads as well.

>>14417613

>when they're pushing for the game to fully support mods

denuvo hasn't seemed to stop mods with other games, so I'm not sure if there's any truth to the claim that denuvo prevents mods. It seems all the games that haven't had mods made for them simply didn't support them like many games before denuvo didn't.

>decent video games left on the horizon

all games are shit until proven otherwise.

>>14417643

>>Denuvo is uncrackable goy

it is, but it can be subverted. What a hill to die on.

>>14414241

Might as well ask here.

One aspect I liked from Mount & Blade was how, if you choose to take a female character, the characters rightly tell you to fuck off and go make babies. However, I found that aspect underdeveloped, well all is said and done it boils down to a few agressive comments and a harder time getting fiefs. Are there mods that elaborate on that aspect?

>>14417706

Yup. It's even a feature in the standard mod base Diplomacy.

>>14417670

Anon, no one here is defending Denuvo. I'm going to ask you again to fuck off until there's actual evidence that they're going to be using it for Bannerlord, because right now it's nothing but "stop talking about this thing I do not like".

>>14417712

>actual evidence that they're going to be using it for Bannerlord

their interest is enough.

>>14417590

>the inevitable rape mod will take care of that.

I want to play as a loli who goes around raping middle aged lords she has captured in battle in her dungeon.

>>14417718

I want to play as a middle aged lord who goes around raping lolis he has captured in his dungeon

>>14417709

Probably should have mentioned I played with Diplomacy. It's actually the only mod I ever really played with.

>>14417756

Doesn't Diplomacy add an entire romance & relationship system, in that case?

>>14417727

Didn't your mother tell you to watch for strange lolis offering you cigarettes and beer in their van?

>>14417729

Well you got me to watch the whole thing

camels have wierd feet

>>14417780

not that I know

>>14417799

Nah, I'm like 99% sure you can fuck your way up the noble hierarchy as a female character in Diplomacy, adds options for swaying your husband n stuff.

Never played Mount and Blade 1, but the hype threads about 2 are always so entertaining that I have to play it with you faggots when it actually comes out.

>>14417805

>Never played Mount and Blade

You're not welcome here.

>>14417805

>Never played Mount & Blade

Then what are you waiting for nigger?

>>14417805

Warband is still fun if you've never played it, so you should definitely give it a shot considering Bannerlord may or may not still be a ways off from releasing. I never tried out the multiplayer though but that might be where most of the fun is at.

>>14417805

Posts like these makes me wish spankanon would show and discipline anons for such posts.

>>14415646

If there's denuvo I won't buy it, simple as that. I'll wait for it to be cracked and get it then. Fuck denuvo, that shit is spyware dressed up as something good.

>>14417805

Warband, not 1. Single player is amusing at first but you realize eventually it's actually pretty shit, even with mods. Multiplayer is pretty good, had a good time with the gamenight.

>>14417780

I recall you could woo a lord and marry into his faction and whatnot. It was welcome but not quite to the level of "uppity tomboy really struggles to be taken seriously" I'm looking for.

>>14417996

Never played multiplayer, but if you think the single player is shit you can think again. Even without mods it's excellent, and with them adds hundreds of hours of fun.

>chivalry

>>14420428

Engaging is a very encompassing word

>>14418468

It's shit when you've played enough of it because you realize it's far, far too long, repetitive and grindy for no good reason. Native greatly lacks a ton of depth and features at every end.

>>14418837

>I'd say it's the roleplaying aspects that really make the game for me.

I hear this often but cannot for the life of me understand how people are entertained by blatantly shallow braindead lord AI that gives players the same handful of quests and lines of text.

Also do tell how Chivalry has such depth and truly engaging gameplay compared to WB.

How could it disappoint? Literally all they need to do is release Warband with better modding support. That's it.

Forever Ever

I got a theory on how to get a release date

But it takes too long and I am not autistic enough to calculate it, here how it works:

FT = Count how many factions the game have

BF = Count how many blog posts were made about factions

BT = Count how many blog posts where made

Release is in: 7 * ( (1-BF/FT)*(1-BF/BT) ) days

In the case I am retarded and didn't properly made the formula, the logic is as follows:

If they are making blog posts about factions, it means the game will not release until they make a blog post about all of the factions

Therefore, the release date can be expected to be revealed, or be, the day they make the last blog post about the last faction, one or two weeks more

So, we calculate how many factions are left, and how often they make faction blogposts, to calculate when they are about to make the last blog post about the last faction

I crave BUTTER

>>14450173

I've got some man butter for you.

>>14450188

I'll DRINK IT FROM YOUR SKULL

Bannerlord will release August 14th 2019 screencap this.

>>14449995

But they need to make blogposts about the various subfactions, and the independent factions. If they keep the current pace we'll see the game released around 2025.

Unmodded warband could only have ~200 units on the map at once, as a top extreme. As long as Bannerlord can meet that minimum I'll be satisfied, and the promotional materials imply that it can.

They said 500 vanilla

500 vanilla for Bannerlord

>>14414492

it is in the same way that alcohol is haram, as in it promotes idleness and may "cause one to forget to pray" but in all realness islam lost its grip on the muslims long ago. and now exists more as a cultural storm than anything else with most "muslims" all but abandoning their faith, drinking beer, failing to fast for ramadan, sex out of marriage…. but still calling western women whores and publicly pushing for shari law.

>>14456604

In western countries maybe. Friends of my parents lived in Mauritania for a few years, alcohol was so fucking haram they basically could only drink in the embassy.

>>14456714

the fuck is Mauritania

>>14456604

No idea what you're talking about, anon. Even in quite westernised countries like Lebanon, alcohol is strictly avoided by muslims and they make triple sure to go pray five times a day, including very early morning hours. Muslims in most muslim countries definitely believe in Islam, and quite zealously so.

>Unmodded warband could only have ~200 units on the map at once, as a top extreme

It had no theoretical limit, and you didn't need to mod a thing. There was a single value in a config file you had to change, they just limited the slider that determines that value to 200 in the options menu.

>>14471877

Changing a value somewhere other than the in-game settings is a mod.

>>14478261

The franchise is known for it's sandbox elements, plethora of mods, and it's ability to run well on nearly anything.

If the customer requires a top of the line CPU and GPU in order to have a 250 vs 250 battle that means Taleworlds has failed their fans in favor of graphics. If Taleworlds is interested in raising their graphical quality it's not for the fans that have bought and played the games for over a decade, but an effort to attract new customers.This is a valid fear as we've all seen franchises we love get dumbed down in an attempt to catch a wider audience.

Reminder that Bannerlord is being released on PS4 and xbone as well.

>>14480149

>and it's ability to run well on nearly anything.

mount & blade fans are the most delusional corporate cocksuckers known to man. They're thoroughly convinced that this game won't have denuvo as well.

>>14480520

>having better graphical fidelity which will need better specs than a computer that can run 10 year old game means the developer has failed their consumer

Sound very reasonable

>Did you really think they'd stop at Warband?

>>14480520

So you don't have a source with someone saying that Bannerlord will be on consoles?

Hint: speculation is not a source.

>>14480533

So what if it has denuvo? That just means I'll pirate it.

>>14480533

Nice ID hop

>>14480535

>Sound very reasonable

The issue is that on release both M&B and Warband could run well on most computers, I had no issues running the games with my piece of shit toaster laptop in 2010.

>Nice source

Which is more likely, the company that ported one of their popular titles to consoles then released their next title in development on consoles, or the company that ported one of their most popular titles to consoles then ignored consoles when concerning their title currently in development?

>>14480560

>Just because it can run on toasters doesn't mean it's a key element that defines what Mount and Blade is

I'd argue that is is, were it more demanding modders would actually have to unfuck their shit and optimize. I do not think there'd be as many mods if it were more demanding.

>I think we'll live if it can't run on all toasters

It won't affect me, true, but it would've affected me if I were in the same shoes I was in a decade ago.

>>14480570

>Hint: speculation is not a source.

You're right. Speculate with me, anon. Do you think Bannerlord will be released on consoles?

I can't be assed to switch my IP in order to discuss my favorite games and their successor with people on the internet.

>>14480611

>The issue is that on release both M&B and Warband could run well on most computers

Because they had visuals from 2003

> I had no issues running the games with my piece of shit toaster laptop in 2010.

Nah, still plenty of CPU related issues at launch, especially during sieges.

>Which is more likely

A port 2 years down the line

>>14480632

>Because they had visuals from 2003

Yes, and that's what I'm worried about. Their current audience has never expected stunning visuals from them. While I agree an update was in order for Bannerlord I think that the new visuals go too far and am worried that they mean Taleworlds is looking for a wider audience. It would be understandable, as I haven't got the slightest clue how they've stayed afloat during Bannerlord's long development cycle. Do you think they've taken loans? I haven't tried to look into the numbers, but I don't think their expansions would cover their operating costs.

>Nah, still plenty of CPU related issues at launch, especially during sieges.

Guess it just werked on my machine :^)

>A port 2 years down the line

I don't really see that happening. As I see it if you port a title while in mid development of another you're going to plan the current around consoles, rather than exert the extra effort later on to port it.

i wonder how long before they invent a computer powerful enough to run bonerlord with more than 20 soliders on each team.

dark souls 2? i think the distinction was that it was a known console game ported to PC. fans kinda knew that from the start.

while the witcher people claimed to be making a PC game then downgraded it for consoles, even though it was more likely downgraded because of general performance issue when the hardware diversity reality hit them.

Anons, Recent Interview of Taleworlds

Any indication of TW letting in the community to beta test the game yet? We all know what a mess warband was during beta.
