/v/ - Video Games

Neat

Looks fucking awesome and fucking unpolished

fucking hell, ever ever

Nice, hopefully it'll be way more refined and proper, and not absolute torture to actually finish like Warband.

>>15330126

biggest desire is shit to do in peacetime that doesn't involve battles tbh

>>15330126

Warband has an end?

>>15330138

yeah, way more diplomacy, intrigue and activities to do with nobles and commoners would be great

>fuck enemy lord's wife

>lord now fights recklessly and charges without tactics when you fight him

>>15330153

I would settle for

>Lord now uses tactics

>>15330150

why stick with warband when you can make warband with better graphics? Besides there are supposedly going to be a lot of improvements to siege battles.

Looks essentially the same with new graffix, likely the same pointless town gameplay. Unfortunate.

>>15330206

They've showed plenty of town footage and new shit to do in them, it'd be really dumb if it remained the same shit.

That's 7 years of effort?

>>15330221

Half of them probably died in the coup

>>15330251

how would you change the combat system without fucking everything up?

>>15330291

>wanting to gimp yourself hard

1st person only good for ranged aiming

>>15330256

The AI needs to be less retarded. Streaming at you in a line like ants during a siege is dumb. Walking up to a ledge to die in a neat pile is dumb. There's also no tactics or strategy on the world map, it's just randumb. The core combat is pretty fun, the game's always just needed more game around it. It's like, they've got an ember but don't seem to know how to turn it into a fire.

>>15330317

Yeah definitely, as far as I'm concerned only the multiplayer was truly good as it stripped the core problems from the game.

>>15330301

>Watching badly done animations where weapons clip through rocks instead of being fully immersed in 1st person.

>>15330301

1st person is superior for perspective when it comes to aiming attacks from any range. 3rd person is only better for either people who have no awareness of what is going on around them or for people who want to peak around corners without being seen.

>>15330093

Somehow the trailer make it look like it's just a pretty'd up Warband. I've seen earlier footage that looked better. UI and the armors look good though. I hope they added more stuff to do in towns and more things to kill time on besides just going from battle to battle.

AI seems to still be pretty stupid, but whatever. Looking forward to FINALLY GETTING A RELEASE DATE. These cunts have made me wait long enough.

>>15330343

Wanted to add

For 7 years worth of fucking around it's kind of bare-bones. I really want to know what the fuck happened at Taleworlds for them to take this long.

Why did the multiplayer demo look so much better? The animations were far smoother and the combat felt far more impactful.

>>15330335

Honestly, immersion is the last thing one can get out of Warband.

>>15330337

Third person gives you far more vision and awareness, first person is tunnel vision in comparison. I don't see how first person is better for melee whatsoever, it's probably being used to it. I mean you can want to avoid the advantages to be more hardcore or some shit, but don't confuse with it being better.

>>15330355

Exactly what I was thinking.

>>15330366

May as well turn all of your graphics settings down to low while you're at it for the 300+ fps advantage.

>>15330366

Being able to see above the fray in third person is just a cheat like x-ray vision is in hitman.

>>15330391

It's a third person game by default and that's how the vast majority of players play, it's not some secret cheat mode. Is every third person game cheating? Pretty bold claim.

>>15330335

Actually, you're right the animation are pretty garbage, the hit are so slow it doesn't feel like fighting, what they should do is have a irrealistically long start of the move, to telegraph the move and then a fast swing so that it still has impact, as you level up speed, the initial buildup time in reduced.

Really this looks like warband, id there any infantry charge? Is there mass to models to push other models around, say if I push my soldier in the back and he also moves forward, when colliding into an enemy does the enemy fall back?

>>15330350

It wasn't always a shithole but now their country is one.

>no new activities

>AI still looks retarded

>core combat barely improved

This looks less like a sequel and more like an HD remake.

>>15330508

This. Bannerlord is going to be brilliant by all accounts.

>>15330508

Dick was on acid when he filmed this, thats the crazed laugh of acid. Did the same exact thing then a Hunter s Thompson impression

>>15330539

Well Kingdom Come was great so maybe it'll inspire some copycats. I'd be ok with clones of good games.

>>15330527

We'll see when we hear the hands-on impressions from the demo.

>tournament prizes can be something other than money

Neat.

>>15330544

There will probably be other things copied from floris too

>>15330508

Get back to work, taleworlds.

I hope a Berserk mod gets made for this.

I'm going to install Warband to a new computer. Any non-module mods or tweaks I need to do?

>>15330508

Good but I don't see your argument.

>>15330558

just get dickplomacy

>>15330541

wow thanks for sharing

>>15330558

You’ll be fine, just download the mods you want to play and you’ll be good.

>>15330508

>You're not intelligent because you're criticial

false

intelligence:

the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one's environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria (such as tests)

criterion:

a standard of judgment or criticism; a rule or principle for evaluating or testing something.

>>15330584

>>15330563

I was planning on playing Gekokujo, which includes Diplomacy.

>>15330584

Replace Anno Domini with Medieval Conquests.

>>15330591

Replace Anno Medieval Conquests with Hispania 1200.

>>15330508

>read this post

>Oh no this doesn't sound good

>read other comments in thread

>they're amazing

lmao. Fuck you, retard.

You're not intelligent because you're critical.

>Morons who gave into hype are mad the team isnt reinventing the wheel like all videogame companies have in the past decade with only shit games and dead ip's to show for it

You've only got yourself to blame.

If its warband with slight improvements its more than can be said for pretty much any game in the past decade. Now they just need to keep their promise on the modding tools.

If they do that it will be an ok sequel. I'm not expecting anything better these days but not settling for less either. Time will tell if its vaporware or warband 1.5 \ 2.0

If we dont get release date this year its pretty much never ever shit from there and goes under the pirate tab.

>>15330597

I know you’re shitposting, but I don’t get it.

>>15330601

I'm not underwhelmed by the level of improvements, just where the effort seems to have gone. I'd rather have Warband + more depth (more activities, better politics, campaign AI) than Warband + better graphics.

>>15330093

I kinda wish the combat animations looked better but otherwise it looks fantastic. I hope they release the modding tools and don't dumb anything down

>>15330624

Yeah, but why replace Medieval Conquests? Just add it to the list of mods you should play.

>player with axe right in archers face

>archer still tries shooting

>AI still groups up on a single guy to stand in place and whack him to death

>still all follows the same path up a cliff, inevitibly getting suck on each other and the environment

>combat is still boring ass directional with no real depth to it

>recycled animations already apparent

oh god it's gonna be shit, isn't it? They're just selling this as a full priced graphics pack to replace the original xbox tier graphics with xbox 360 tier graphics, aren't they? Just like how Warband was basically multiplayer DLC. None of the atrocious AI has been improved since the original game. The towns still look empty and without purpose beyond buying butter for your local lord. The fuck did they waste all this time for?

>>15330639

Why replace Anno 1257? Just add it to the list of mods you should play.

>>15330658

Isn’t Medieval Conquests just a better version of Anno Domini? And one that’s still getting updated? Its been a while since i’ve played Anno Domini so I don’t know how different it is from Medieval Conquests.

>>15330653

>The fuck did they waste all this time for?

I'm assuming the titan who wrote the original is long gone so they've just been keeping the lights on over the years with minor tweaks and mod-tier content.

>>15330681

I've seen 10 year old games that look better. The entire premise was now it's mount & blade with a budget but it looks like they just ported forward everything from the original.

>>15330558

The Indochina mod is pretty fun. Nothing better than getting a small squad of hand cannoneers and mowing down enemy armies 10 times your size.

i always believed bannerlord was going to be shit, as with every game. it is a philosophy of mine, and it has paid dividends.

if only the intellectually bankrupt sheeple on /v/ could be as wise as I, then maybe this world would get further. unfortunately, we've now got trump as president and people still losing their (little) minds over things like this. heh… what a shame.

Any other oldfags really dissatisfied? I've been waiting for this for almost a decade (played the first game since pre alpha in 2006)

>>15330718

That post was /tv/ tier.

>>15330718

>i always believed bannerlord was going to be shit

>It'll be shit because it'll be an improved version of a good game.

Ok m8.

>>15330785

>its okay if they make the same game with better gwaficks

it's not.

>>15330795

Doesn't mean it'll be shit.

>>15330727

Mountain Blade is a good game. Butterlord being more of the same isn't a bad thing since it's hard to improve without mod-tier autism.

>>15330801

Just means its a waste of time from a group of hacks.

>>15330806

>Improving a good game is a waste of time.

>>15330821

>he bought sotc (((remastered)))

>he bought the last of us (((remastered)))

>he bought any fucking remaster

kill yourself faggot

>>15330802

It's not like they had 7 years to improve anything lol

The graphics are still painfully bad and animations are literally the same as the original game 12 years old at this point

Hell even if this came out in 2012 it would have looked dated

>>15330839

Haven't bought a single remaster. You sure are busy grasping at straws, huh?

>>15330845

>not pirating it

lmao

>>15330862

>Haven't bought a single remaster. You sure are busy grasping at straws, huh?

and here you are defending what basically is one. it's the same fucking game.

>>15330872

>it's the same fucking game.

It might be. So what? Who the fuck cares? Doesn't mean you have to buy it. Piracy has been a thing for a while now.

>>15331114

At least Edrogan's son-in-law became a minister of finances.

Can't you guys stop being jelly for smart and successful people?

>>15330849

>The graphics are still painfully bad and animations are literally the same as the original game 12 years old at this point

I'm glad the graphics are poor. Why the fuck would that be a negative anyways?

The animations are mildly better, but yeah those turks just can't into animations.

>>15331325

BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD 7 FUCKING YEARS AND HAVE BUGGER ALL TO SHOW FOR IT LITERALLY LOOKS THE SAME AS WARBAND MADE 6 YEARS AGO AM I GOING INSANE OR IS EVERYONE HERE FUCKING BLIND

The goddamn game hasn't changed since 2004 ffs

>>15331344

If it had cutting edge graphics that would be actively bad for it, as the game could handle less men in a battle. The changes seem relatively minor, but I haven't seen any negative ones. Hopefully they put in extra effort into ease of modding since that's the real meat of the game.

I don't know why you're so hung up on "7 years".

>>15331376

I don't think those are the type of people who play video games

>>15331381

Nah there was some Jihadist from Bradford UK who said in his court case that he just played FIFA and MGS4 on a PS3 and rode bikes while in ISIS.

>>15330727

Yeah but when it got stuck in limbo it was pretty obvious what had happened so I've pressed F long ago. Today the disappointment is more of a kneejerk before I move on.

>>15331376

That sounds kinda cool, actually.

>conquering everything in the game world spawns winged hussars

>>15330093

Why is knight-anon a forest bandit?

I guess he was really angry after losing the annual Hunger Games.

>>15331761

That reminds me, I really hope banditry becomes more of a thing. NPC bandits being deeper and more options to BE a bandit.

Am I pleb for not enjoying the single player in these games. To be fair though I have never given it a decent go.

Main appeal for me is the 100v100 multiplayer battles and castle sieges.

The gameplay takes me back to 10 years ago.

>>15331706

Wait that's a real mod? What does it do? There are lewd mods for M&B?

>>15330093

sheeeeit he just cleaved those niggers

>>15330093

>list menu

they aim for consoles, mark my words

>>15332306

yes, you're a retarded faggot and likely a subhuman as well

I see TW decided to give Bethesda's development model a spin and let modders be their unpaid QA department.

how is this different from modded mnb except better graphics

>>15331565

That's Victoria 1.

>>15332641

Isn't that what most people were expecting though ?

I only ever wanted is Warband with better sieges, better feedback in combat, improvements in existing features (diplomacy, being able to kill lords etc.) and a few new features like crafting. Also, most of all, better modding tools (which already seems to be the case).

I agree that it's been taking a while though, I sure hope it fucking releases before fall 2019.

>>15332641

Literally the only thing I've seen that looks like a significant improvement is a searchable encyclopedia https://www.taleworlds.com/en/Games/Bannerlord/Blog/72

Also https://www.taleworlds.com/en/Games/Bannerlord/Blog/59 seems to say that you can have smithys from the businesses you build that can make you equipment. It would be neat if you could like have blacksmiths whose skills you had to manage like Dwarf Fortress or some shit, but I doubt that will be in. Also, you can have more than one business per town, and AI can now have them. Presumably you compete for space.

The recruitment system seems kind of shitty. You form relationships with recruiters so I assume it's just a rep value. You will also compete with AI lords for manpower though, which is good.

>>15332622

Any and all sex mods are likely to find their way to Loverslab anyway.

>Is the only reason people play this game because you live in the current year (just like skyrim)

They'll play it because M&B gameplay is fun, and I'll play it because of the better interface if nothing else.

>>15330093

Where the fuck is the release date? those Turkroaches better release it before Turkroach King declares another Balkan War with Europe in the near future.

>>15332664

Their economy is apparently crashing so they'll want to release soon so they can get those sweet foreign dollars and corner the market on depreciated goats.

It seriously just looks like Warband but with a texture/UI patch. I like Warband's gameplay as much as everyone else but I was hoping things such as towns and dialogue would get a much needed overhaul. I don't see the point in getting excited over this when it looks like there are no gameplay enhancements.

At the rate they're going Freeman: Ukraine Simulator will get released sooner, and that game actually looks like an honest improvement, especially since they implemented a proper interface to control your troops.

>I like Warband's gameplay as much as everyone else but I was hoping things such as towns and dialogue would get a much needed overhaul.

So you haven't looked at anything?

I will buy the game for this reason alone:

>Locating and speaking to NPCs is also one of the most important things you do in towns. This can be done through the portraits on the top right panel, eliminating the need for the players to enter the town scene and search for any NPCs they wish to talk to

Another thing

>When you enter a battle with troops who have low morale, after taking some casualties your men can lose their courage and start to flee. This means that a battle can be lost even if most of your troops are still alive. These deserting troops go on to form a new deserted party on the campaign map which the party leader can no longer control.

>>15332622

In the future you should try to be less of a retard than you are in the present.

Does anyone know when we'll get footage of the gamescom demo today? I know jack shit about gamescom.

>>15332693

>chasing down your deserters

wew I hope that doesn't mean they'll be abandoning/minimizing town scenes.

>>15331381

Believe it or not but apparently osama bin laden had a gameboy emulator on his phone with a lot of games on it.

>>15330256

By making the animations cleaner and giving it better hit detection and dynamics, which looks to be what they did.

>>15330256

Make it 5 direction + stab like Henry's Medieval Life Simulator but without all the mocap mini cutscenes. Also the combat system works fine but thrusting and just the moveset of polearms, especially longer ones, has been broken for a long fucking time.

>>15332888

What do you mean by "town scenes"? They're making walking around towns much more detailed and less generic, but I don't know anything about fighting in towns. I'm not sure if I like the added details to towns, as that will make modded ones more jarring.

>>15332952

I really hope they unfuck thrusting weapons. I detest spearmen being useless in warband. In the trailer it looks like poking has changed a bit as in the arena an overhead stab is used to finish off a fighter, but that's nothing to work on really.

https://youtu.be/zlIi4z7hEjA

I had a youtube search for "bannerlord gamescom" and finally something new came up on that. Sorry for triple posting, but the arrow drawing animation is significantly better.

>>15332977

>Why is this the same game!

>Why is this new title in the series just an improvement from the old one?

>I wanted a different game!

ebin

>>15330391

Its crutches to overcome hardware deficiencies. In game you have horizontal 90 fov, when IRL 190 and you can change LOS by turning head. Gaming rigs are far far away from replicating IRL vision performance.

>>15330093

Only one complain. Good if improved later. Chamber animations. They are very stiff and artificial, it would be good if there would be some animations in the chamber pose and avatars slightly waved chambered weapons around.

>>15330114

That and weapon penetrating bodies are very neat.

>>15332641

>>15330653

This is the best part. M&B basic gameplay is perfect in its own class. There is no need for cancer of "fixing thing that are not broken". Do thing can be done another way? Yes, and it may be even done better. Though none of M&B successors achieved great success with their approaches, success that can be compared with initial popularity of M&B. Its not easy to make good things, but it is very easy to break what you have.

>>15331565

>not even ISIS wants Europe anymore as it's a shithole

>>15333239

Yeah I hope it isn't "Continue as Mr Lister The Sister Fister's third cousin on his mother's brother's side Mr Middy the Kiddy Diddler" and instead is like CK2.

>>15333037

>>Groofiks are the same as in 1991!

that's literally the one complaint that nobody has made

>>15333257

Some dude was bitching that the graphics were shit as if anyone cares. Here he is. >>15331344

I hope they improve the provisions system too. Sick of having to constantly re-stock pork, chicken and beef because my retarded soldiers pretty much only eat fucking grain and bread but complain low morale when it's all I have in my inventory. Why chickens and pigs are only purchasable pre-slaughtered and not as livestock like cattle is retarded.

Also let's have hireable ransom-brokers, sick of how a fucking lord of the realm or king has to go on goose-chases eternally. That and executing prisoners would be such a big improvement

>>15333284

I hope that capturing lords isn't an unchangable diceroll and if you, for example, personally knock out a lord and stand on his body, you should be basically guaranteed to capture him.

>>15333299

Oh yeah definitely that too, ridiculous that you 100% always get taken prisoner but woah that wacky Count Grainwad slipped away when nobody was looking in his full platemail.

>>15333299

Tht would be good but then they have to stop enemy lords charging in to battle half a mile ahead of their main army because they move faster.

>>15333331

That sounds hard

Is there any indication the AI will use tactics?

>>15333340

>Is there any indication the AI will use tactics?

Ive not read anything about it so far.

Warband talked a lot about enemy tactics but the implementation was very simplistic. So I wouldnt get too excited either way.

>>15333299

I hope we'll be able to execute lords.

>>15333331

>not riding out half a mile ahead of your own army so you can meet the other commander in a one-on-one head on

Look at all the hipsters flying to shit like flies.

>>15333375

>not executing your sworn enemies

>instead have to pander to them to get them to your side

how's it like being a cuck?

>>15333404

buzz off little fly

and take your shiteating clones with you.

This thread is convincing me that the board has largely become 18 year old children who only know what /v/ "should" be like from cuck-chan's /v/

Making baseless assumptions and mental gymastics for why what your seeing is bad like a bunch of hipster retards.

>>15330337

Third person, just like HUD elements that so many retards like to complain about for not being "immersive", largely gives you information that you would otherwise have but that games can't properly convey otherwise because all you have is sight and sound, all other senses are missing (except possibly touch in a very simplistic sense in the form of controller rumble). Health bars are not unimmersive despite what retards say, because if you're hurt in real life you can fucking tell, you don't have to do some convoluted shit like walk around and see if you hobble or look at how bloody your clothes are. Such HUD elements exist to tell you things that you should logically be able to tell as the player character. Similarly, third person gives you information beyond what first person does, like what you're standing on or a much larger field of view than most setups give.

Also, third person allows for different gameplay. Games like DMC would be practically unplayable, with your character doing flips and teleporting all over the place. It is not a matter of one being better than the other.

People itt saying nothings changed. LMAO. What is influence? What is town crime, what is vastly improved sieges, weapon crafting, improved town economies, improved animations across the board, new factions, a million and one improvements to the campaign map, a castle builder, ect.

>>15333573

The board is full of newfags and children.

I've seen people posting on facebook and news comment sections.

Because gaming FOV is 2 times smaller than IRL FOV.

>>15333771

Bannerlord is already popular you stupid faggot. Warband wasn't some obscure indie hit you stupid nigger. It's consistently a best seller on steam. Those Turks are basically millionaires by now. It's shocking how fucking retarded this place has become. There are people like you in the Monster Hunter threads too. WAAAH MY OBSCURE MILLION SELLER SERIES HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO 2 MILLION PEOPLE THEY ARE GONNA WUIN IT

Neck yourself you blackpilled fag

>>15333771

Your post is fucking moronic, I guess you bought Warband during the Christmas sale?

>>15333792

>>15333804

clam down pleb's is a green text.

I know how many people play M&B, i'm talking about attracting the "gamer's aren't your audience" crowd and "we want the Fortnite community".

Mount & Blade has had the good fortune to not have any of that cancer into the games.

>>15332952

>>15334136

>you are the Chosen One who will become king

The story is centered around a succession crisis in the Empire, and you can pick which claimant to back, though I imagine there will be an option to betray any and all of them and take the throne for yourself.

>You spend money on "equipment slots" to automatically upgrade your "gear"(stats)

Except they've already said that you need to visit a city to upgrade your troops, you can just click a button and magically turn an infantryman into cavalry anymore.

>>15334167

Are you retarded?

We're speculating how they would casualize M&B 3 if EA bought them out.

>>15334207

So you speculating over shit that would probably never happen and using this to frame M&B in a negative light?

Do you think I'm gullible?

>>15334288

Yes, you are.

You missed several obvious jokes and you think Turkey will remain stable for long enough for Bannerlord to be released.

>>15332306

Absolutely not the ai is horrid and even having a real person command the dumbass bots on the side helps

>>15334331

>I was just pretending to be retarded.

What mods are you fags looking forward to? I heard TW wants to include a flying creature in the game just so there is a present for flying units in the battle maps. We might actually get Lord of the Rings mods with Nazgul and ASOIF mods with dragons. I am personally hoping for an Aegon's conquest style mod if that's true.

>>15334866

Hopefully a mod where you can make you own knights like prophecy pendor except good.

>>15334831

Wouldn't be having this problem if the game was already out, but at least you don't get the impression that development is under any kind of pressure.

>>15334926

Their making an engine then making the game.

Most of their time when Warband sold was making that engine.

Shit their first blog post wasn't anything to do with Warband but showing off their engine and the geography tools that it had.

I want dominions after being reminded it exists by >>15334831 .

Imagine playing Ermor in Mount and Blade

>>15335187

I knew you would find something to bitch about.

>Bumping after saging

Thanks for underling how much of a retard you are.

>>15335189

Hopefully the mod tools are more in depth to give dominions justice with the mods.

Abysia vs Hinnom

Ermor vs everyone

But thinking about it, it would probably take place in late age as it fits with Calradia lore a rome like nation conquering everyone then collasping leaving a power vacuum.

>>15335186

No I just wanted an excuse to use that image

>>15335408

Make it a commander so it can level up, give it high intelligence so it does it quickly.

>>15335351

this, and also shitposters are far more cancereous with their derailing and mods doing nothing.

I'd actually love a Berserk mod that takes place in a timeline where things didn't go completely to shit. Fucking brown tomboys and slaughtering degenerate faggots sounds like a swell time to me.

22 minute video of gameplay

>>15335906

Fucking finally.

Horses seem to move at a reasonably horse-like speed now which is a big improvement

There also seem to be markers now when you go walkaround like in the castle grounds or town so getting lost looking for some retardedly obscure guild master won't be much of an issue anymore

>>15335973

Are you retarded? >>15332977

is from 12 hours ago.

>>15335906

Not sure if was shown in the other videos, but the highlighting of armies hidden by terrain is fucking great, not being able to see shit from every angle was infuriating in warband.

AI also appears to use some basic level of tactics now rather than just swarming to the player/whoever is nearest from the final battle in the video (which continues in vid related)

All in all it actually does look like there's quite a lot of differences for the better, not sure why the teaser was so poorly put together…

>>15336041

Definitely agree with you on that

>>15335743

cornrows where used by aryans in germany along with dreadlocks which back then were called fairy locks.

>>15336064

That's bullshit but I'll believe it

Horses seem to be pretty much the same in terms of janky pathfinding and collisions though which is a bit sad, and I don't know wtf they were thinking with the pack mules…

>>15336008

That's not the same video, retard.

>>15336105

>Fucking finally

Implies that it was the first gameplay video from gamescom

>>15336076

It was out of necessity not style, by locking your hair either with rows or locks you allowed room for your scalp to breath and mitigated the dirtiness of hair.

Bathing was really important to early Aryans, the Romans even exploited this by learning the bathing schedules and attacking villages when they were bathing which was communal which meant the men were unarmed and unprepared.

Another reasons some soldiers ran into combat naked, often when fighting clothed the cloth would be fragmented into wounds when injured leading to infection.

Which in either Britain or a little away in Modern day Germany was deadly as infection was nearly impossible to stave off during cold winters or hot moist summers.

>>15336113

>by locking your hair either with rows or locks you allowed room for your scalp to breath and mitigated the dirtiness of hair.

that's retarded

>>15336110

No, it implies it's the first gameplay video without retarded normalfags commenting over it. Poe's law exists for a reason.

>>15336130

they've shown first person previously

>>15336128

It has no audio, so if turk McOld and his 5 year old son annoy you muting it would make them equivalent

>>15336130

its mostly showing off the large army and other crap

>>15336120

No its not, hair when not locked mats, we're not dogs or other animals we don't shed.

Meaning if you were unlucky to be in a village without stream access or only well access you were going to have some matted as hair that is hard as a Jersey Shore dudes hair with gel.

Meaning you have a fuckload of bacteria underneath your hair breeding on your scalp.

>>15336146

Yeah that's not how it works lad, you're genuinely a retard

with regards to bacteria that is

>>15336113

>by learning the bathing schedules and attacking villages when they were bathing which was communal which meant the men were unarmed and unprepared

Goes to show why Romans won. They also had communal baths, only they weren't retarded enough to have everyone bathe at the same time.

>>15336150

It is how it works you fucking retard. I have a degree in animal husbandry and breed dogs, cows, sheep and chickens.

Sheep and dogs if their hair isn't taken care of will start to rot, especially in sheep which is why you need to shear early in spring.

Otherwise you will have fucking maggots breeding in it.

What is with retards and Mountain blade, can't you be content shitting up someother thread instead of passing off your ignorance as fact?

>>15336164

>Goes to show why Romans won. They also had communal baths, only they weren't retarded enough to have everyone bathe at the same time.

I would give them some breaks I mean up until then they only fought other of their own kind who didn't fight each other during bathing.

Romans didn't respect other cultures (except Egypt) and used what worked.

Ceaser was able to take control of rome because he crossed the Rubicon, if we were Brits we would probably say.

>No wonder Ceaser won he only had to cross the rubicon

Which was considered at the time nearly blashpemous.

>>15336182

>Romans didn't respect other cultures (except Egypt) and used what worked.

And Greeks. And yes, Romans forged an empire that last two thousand years because they were practical. When Greeks worked out in the name of physical beauty, Romans thought them faggots for it and viewed working out only as a way to become better killers.

There's a reason Greece is remember for its philosophers and every great conqueror in European history has looked at Rome for inspiration.

>if we were Brits we would probably say

"You need a loicence for it mate, and you're too white so you can't fuck our wives". Fuck the British.

>Which was considered at the time nearly blashpemous.

By greedy senators and other vermin. Caesar was a visionary that wanted to fix Rome, sadly small minded cretins prevented him. They can be glad Augustus was around to pick up the slack.

>>15336209

>And Greeks

Greeks were not respected, they took the mythology of their gods but for centuries Greeks were slave tutors and could not obtain citizenship.

Even having a beard by Roman standards was foreign until Hadrian made the shit popular.

>There's a reason Greece is remember for its philosophers and every great conqueror in European history has looked at Rome for inspiration.

Also politicians, philosophy had huge impact on Roman politics, Cicero for example.

>By greedy senators and other vermin. Caesar was a visionary that wanted to fix Rome, sadly small minded cretins prevented him. They can be glad Augustus was around to pick up the slack.

I agree with a majority of this, the Roman senate was corrupt as hell and ironically Ceaser and Augustus actually returned power to the people despite being literal dictator.

However the Empire did worse and lasted shorter then its time under the Republic.

Also as I'm two lazy to go up and add more to my earlier statement you also had the Cynics come out of Roman Philosophy and Augustus

Auraluies.

>2 minutes of gameplay

>announced in 2012

>2018 and still no fucking release date

This game is quickly turning into a fucking meme, but I hope they have significantly better non combat systems, I want to be able to play as whatever role I want, I want to play as a village chief and manage a small village, have to fend off bandits, support and protect the village women and children, train new apprentices, trade with traders and improve the villages situation as well as standing, and liason with my lords trading a strong history of reliable income for stronger support in defense against bandits/rival lords and not sacking my fucking shit because he wants more money.

>>15336658

>2 minutes

More like 45

>>15336658

There has been a lot of gameplay videos of battles and multiplayer, showing off the new captain mode for example. Seems like this year they will focus on showing off more singleplayer and their new questing/story system.

Also from some of the previous years videos, instead of only being plain reinforcements for some lord or king in large battles, looks like you will be able to embed yourself in their armies and be a captain for some of their units in singleplayer.

Even though there is some Warband jankiness with horses and combat in general and the shit still looks fun as fuck.

>>15336677

>>15336820

They don't care what you tell them they will find issues to hate the game because that's how they think the board works.

>>15330317

>Streaming at you in a line like ants during a siege is dumb.

You're right, those medieval soldiers shouldve used their jetpacks to flank

>>15336937

Or like show any indication they're aware other people exist such as marching in ranks to guard gaps.

>>15335283

Thanks but no thanks,i'm developing a severe allergy to kikes and considering that the place comes pre-built with it's own kike and a no hurt feels hugbox & no bantz allowed i think i'll just pass.

If i wanted that kind of thing i would just stick to 4chan where it's about the same but at the very least the thread will mercifully die off in a matter of minutes and won't linger on for days or even weeks at a time.

I guess that does patrially explain your dick sucking powers and the willingness and readiness to employ them at a moment's notice.

You do know that this place has no rep system and despite what the board owner may be trying to make it into,this is never gonna be his own personal subreddit,right?

What does that mean for the kurzaits? Are horses cheap or are you never going to get those upgrades?

>>15337952

The guy erroneously said they only had 2 minutes of game play and we corrected him, how is that dick sucking?

>>15338566

Low tier horses cost fuckall in warband, is there any indication they will cost more in bannerlord?

So have they announced a release date yet?

>>15338620

The closest I've been able to find is an article where the lead dev said they were working 80 hour weeks, which sounds like a release crunch. Who knows, maybe that's a normal workload for those who want to please allah

>>15338591

It's still too costly if you have 5 or more to upgrade at a time and need to find suitable horses. I like it though, more details and less horse fucker armies. Khergits were zergy as fuck.

>>15338693

Mashallah!

>>15338730

This is where I got that from googling it.

> We asked Armagan Yavuz, lead developer and founder of TaleWorlds Entertainment, exactly that when we spoke to him at Gamescom. We weren’t surprised that he couldn’t provide a release date

So yeah, no release date at gamescom

>>15338730

According to some Turk article someone posted on rpgcodex

>you can ask the release date is well if you want

>*laughter* alright then, when's the game releasing?

>…we really want to release the game asap. I can't give a specific date but, there's a little more to be done and hopefully it'll be done very soon and we'll ship it as soon as it's done

>hopefully/probably (by the tone) in less than a year.

>>15330673

It's a worse version.

>>15335974

If they don't acelerate and turn like a car or go instantly to a full stop from touching anything it'll already be a huge plus.

>>15341324

Could you elaborate? I'm thinking of installing it.

>>15341324

>>15341686

>>15341715

>>15345416

Eh, M&B 1 was Early Access before that was even a thing.

> These bonuses could be anything from an increase in party size to extra ammunition in battles, or they even unlock certain actions, such as the ability to reload any crossbow while on horseback

That middle one is retarded. "Extra" ammunition shouldn't be linked to a character's ability, it should be a strictly equipment based thing.

>>15346158

They didn't say it was linked to weapon skill. Could be engineering (you optimize your cargo space more effectively so you can store more provisions) or crafting (you prepare extra bolts/arrows during downtime),

>>15346201

Both of those are retarded, although the latter one presents an interesting idea; ammo regenerating over time instead of instantly refilling.

>>15346281

Also, apparently you won't get bonuses from whoever has the best skills but instead from whoever is assigned to the relevant role.

>>15341715

It's exactly like 1257 but with a floris-like meme "overhaul". Buggy as fuck and full of errors. Every lord is married to a foreign lady for example which might not even be that innacurate but they're random girls, and it seems lazy instead of deliberate. I remember almost every portuguese lord for example was married to some halych-volynia or rus lady which doesn't make any sense. I remember also the balance being ACOK tier whereas the troop trees in 1257 were the most sensible I had seen in a mountain blade mod.

>>15346155

Oh fuck off, deal with that was they gave it for free during that period and didn't make you pay to be a guinea pig. It was an open beta, stop attaching nuspeak to everything you ridiculous faggot.

>>15341686

>>15343674

It plays like a much more bloated version of 1257AD, lots of gimmicky scripts and shit. They did away with a lot of unique troop lists for the different factions and lumped them all together. It tried throwing the kitchen sink at 1257 and kept it all whether it works or not.

>>15346865

You were right.

>>15349538

>push it back to Q4 2019

Nigga that's bringing it forward

>>15349538

So Q2 2020?

Cool, maybe Cyberpunk 2077 is released as well and it isn't complete ass.

I'll have a laugh with Stellaris as well since it will be Fallout in Space and will still be using the Creation Engine with some updates.

>>15349538

>Q4 2019

What the everliving fuck? They've been "polishing" the game for years already, what the hell are they still doing? Polishing each other's dicks? They've been showing the game off as essentially feature complete for how long now? Half a year? Even more?

>>15352008

I have very limited evidence of this, but I think that big battles likely don't work currently.

If you look at the gamescom footage you recruit soldiers one by one. In the gamescom interview the big turk said that currently the maximum party size was "about 40". If I'm not mistaken you can equip any soldier as well however you like, making me think that everything is currently focused on small parties killing bandits. Has anything suggested that lord AI works at all? Factions and the economy might be totally nonfunctional currently for all we know.

>>15352074

They had footage of 500 versus 500 a couple of years ago in a desert anon.

i am so fuckin hype for this game goddammit

>>15352295

It isn't hard to make a set piece battle for marketing purposes anon. Additionally, my entire post is dealing with balance, not engine capability.

This is what annoys the everloving fuck out of me. There's 0 communication on progress. Sure you have the weekly blogs that talk about features and whatnot, but nothing about how far along the way they are, or what is still left to be done.

They wanted those devblogs to be more "transparent" but they're really only fluff to keep people distracted, they don't tell anything important and I've just about seen everything I care about. Tell me how far away it is and don't pussyfoot around the subject god damn it

>>15355147

Skill points and mastery are sort of combined now

You get focus points on level up which first unlock a skill, and then increase its experience gain

Experience is earned per skill in addition to overall level and is earned through use.

Not sure how I feel about this, but it sure as hell should break the monotony and fixedness of the game. For single player it does sound good.

>>15336658

>significantly better non combat systems

THIS. For the time they have spent on this game, they should have much better combat systems as well, starting from the way intercepting other parties work. There is only one type of encounter: pitched battles. There should be ambushes, guerilla warfare, objective based battles and all kinds of encounters, not just "kill everyone to win".
