halfsword-chat-⚔

[tall dagger]

you have to work with it

[wise quarry]

anyways, im pretty sure thats just a strafe

so tapping one of the movement keys, but lowkey idk i dont dodge i kill

[shrewd mural]

thats what i thought too, but then i saw a video of a guy demonstrating the new parry and he said he wasn't moving the mouse at all

[hidden coyote]

Does the stamina perk effect your resistance to getting unconcious? Or is that the extra hp one

[shrewd mural]

and it was very reactive

[cerulean cloud]

why did willie stab me with an axe 😭

[shrewd mural]

i've also noticed that NPCs actually give up now when you embed a weapon into their body and it gets stuck

[wise quarry]

aye lowkey thats a good question what is dodging

im bouta figure ts out

[shrewd mural]

when ur holding shift and tap a direction instead of holding you kinda dodge/sidestep

[agile jacinth]

That's good, but it was sorta funny when you'd fully run through a commoner with a longsword and have to fight his ass without a weapon because he just kept running at you.

[wise quarry]

yup did ts jus now

[shrewd mural]

yeah, you could quite literally get your weapon stuck in someone's arm or leg and the willie is like "huh, that's not there, i'm gonna keep charing at you"

[wise quarry]

not gonna need it tho i destroy mfs on this game

[agile jacinth]

Willie looks down at the spear in his stomach and is just like "Disarmed!"

[wise quarry]

btw if multiplayer drops im coming for all of you. (peacefully ofc)

[shrewd mural]

LMAO literally

love how tight the boxing is now though
cant wait for jabs

surprised they haven't incorporated jabbing with the stab button for unarmed combat

[wise quarry]

you can jab, just gotta do real tiny left and right motions

[agile jacinth]

[tall dagger]

need titan shifter willie

https://tenor.com/view/eren-yeager-jaeger-jeager-jager-eren-gif-17910050439711893299

[agile jacinth]

Willie needs a crossbow, i think.

[wise quarry]

longsword vs billhook... our battle will be legendary...

[shrewd mural]

ngl though commoner boss is beating my ass

[agile jacinth]

I either immediately kill you from a distance or stand no chance. 😭

[shrewd mural]

wish i had a spear

[wise quarry]

nah lowkey it has solid defence

[shrewd mural]

bro has a 12 foot claymore

[wise quarry]

if you get good with angles you could ruins someones childhood if multiplayer dropped

[agile jacinth]

And missing doesn't even guarantee a miss, if it's behind them you can yank it back and the hook actually works. Works especially well on necks and backs of knees.

[shrewd mural]

this ^ i use this a lot with the billhook

[agile jacinth]

The bills are so fun.

[shrewd mural]

miss and just hold alt and pull the mouse back and watch the hook catch their neck

[wise quarry]

exactly, it has so many utilizations, and what else does as well? THE LONGSWORD

omg im freakin thinkin about it

[agile jacinth]

Do you prefer the bill with the wider blade or the longer hook?

[wise quarry]

all the 1's bein ran

[shrewd mural]

the wider blade simply because of the extra weight

[agile jacinth]

Halberds are also pretty good..

[agile jacinth]

The longer hook on the slender one makes hooking easier.

[shrewd mural]

I'm gonna give that one some more playtime then in that case

[agile jacinth]

You're giving me Mordhau flashbacks. 😭

[wise quarry]

shiet with how many of us have been playing theres no telling who created what, mfs are NUTS like that mf from berserk on this game

[shrewd mural]

any tips for the commoner boss though?
i tried fighting him with pitchfork and longsword and both times i just get gapped by range

[agile jacinth]

I also think they look nicer.

[wise quarry]

NUTS not GUTS, NUTZ\

[honest thorn]

O the thing where you halfgrip em after you get the hook behind?

[open grove]

hmm

[honest thorn]

That's a fun technique :p

[agile jacinth]

Use slo-mo and take advantage of his windup and recovery periods. He likes to do big, telegraphing swings.

[shrewd mural]

you can also trap weapons to disarm people if you're good with the hook

[agile jacinth]

I will try to pull this off today.

[flint creek]

The slowmo its just fucking great for trying to get up

[shrewd mural]

i did it completely on accident LMAO

[wise quarry]

no offence, but goldfish cant fly

[honest thorn]

I use slowmo to get my strikes in while you dodge out of the bosses swings, eventually you score a good hit if you play hit and run with his torso :p

[wise quarry]

god ts was wack my b

[shrewd mural]

the short spears feel so good now that you can easily transition between slashing and stabbing

[mild zinc]

can i 1v1 my friend

[shrewd mural]

very fluid

[agile jacinth]

But anyway, the bill is also great for just killing someone before they can even get within five feet of you. The fun hooking techniques are awesome, but there's nothing more satisfying than just immediately burying it in their neck or chest before they can get close.

[wise quarry]

fuck typa goldfish you seen cuh

[grim latch]

yes they can

[versed jay]

hmmmmm i wonder

[shrewd mural]

with slomo does it just drain stamina over time or increase all ur stamina costs

[agile jacinth]

Increases costs, I'm pretty sure.

If you stand still you'll be fine.

[wise quarry]

nah dont play

[shrewd mural]

that makes so much more sense now

[wise quarry]

im bouta google ts yall got me tweakin

[agile jacinth]

I think it's best to let him miss first and then get him.

His recovery is kinda long.

[wise quarry]

MFS CANT FLY YALL LYIN

[agile jacinth]

Did you really look it up? 😭

[shrewd mural]

if feels useless trying to parry him or play in his deadzones

[honest thorn]

I think it drains stamina in addition to what you use so you can't use it for longer than a few seconds. It's enough to be able to dash in, swipe or stable an exposed part, and dodge while slomo goes away

[wise quarry]

no bruh im makin fun of new gen ree ree's

[urban jackal]

does anyone else like decapitating dead bodies

[storm storm]

if you don't move it doesn't drain stamina so I think it's the latter

[agile jacinth]

Are you sure you didn't look it up?

[tall dagger]

he definitely looked it up

[honest thorn]

The way he swings is unpredictable,but yeah, if he's open go for it, ideally you wanna make him swing over you and miss

[agile jacinth]

I like cutting off arms better.

[wise quarry]

im positive my friending

[flint creek]

Are you sure?

[agile jacinth]

In slo-mo, it's really easy to telegraph his swings.

[agile jacinth]

[honest thorn]

Ye

[minor swift]

idk if it just me but the control of the weapons feel nice

[wise quarry]

yall, yall, only thing i look up is the address to the gym (smirks retardedly)

[urban jackal]

i like cutting the legs of when they're alive

they suffer more

[versed jay]

https://streetcat.wiki/images/a/a2/Nugget_falling.gif

[urban jackal]

struggle to stand

[storm storm]

I feel like this is a red flag

[agile jacinth]

Cutting off arms is fun because sometimes they keep fighting.

[urban jackal]

why

[agile jacinth]

Playing this game is a red flag, honestly.

[urban jackal]

yeah true

[versed jay]

yeah from someone called ass ripper it could be a red flag

[wise quarry]

ong it is, do you not see the shit im typin

[storm storm]

💀

[wise quarry]

mfs aint normal on here but hey at least im aware

[wise quarry]

yo

[urban jackal]

how about the designers

who modelled the bodies

[honest thorn]

It's only weird if youre nakey while playing this game

[agile jacinth]

I like their devotion to historical authenticity.

[honest thorn]

Only shirtless person should be willy

[versed jay]

what? is it not normal to play this game naked?

[agile jacinth]

That's.. oddly specific..

[versed jay]

playing with willies

[wise quarry]

have you seen their interviews? they def got some loose screws between em no offense to the guys

[honest thorn]

This day n age it wouldn't surprise me people like that exist

[agile jacinth]

Oh, now i gotta see these.

[agile jacinth]

And you're sure you aren't one of these supposed people, hm?

[urban jackal]

where interview?>

[honest thorn]

Not yet

[wise quarry]

check it out dawg, eyes dont lie. especially when you know how to read body language and tone of voice

[agile jacinth]

Yet..

[wise quarry]

pretty sure its in the annoucments

[agile jacinth]

I'll look them up.

Oh, i see.

[urban jackal]

do they sound empty

and stare

with less emotion

[wise quarry]

nope its in wip

[agile jacinth]

Cant open up announcements without watching the update trailer again.

[urban jackal]

i just got my head cut off

[wise quarry]

Its under wip check it out, pretty long but they talk about the plans for early access

[viscid citrus]

what happens if I win at this guy

[wise quarry]

they wanna add ranged weapons, flails, better armor and overall more weapons, then they get into blood textures and realism, etc

its a pretty good watch if your actually interested in the direction its going

[viscid citrus]

why cant I put an image

[agile jacinth]

This feels like watching the saber duel from that one Polish movie with all the hand switching.

https://tenor.com/view/the-deluge-gif-16430519561342332462

[open grove]

zlawg

[urban jackal]

actually pretty cool

but he looks a bit

crazy

i cant lie

[viscid citrus]

what happens if I kill the gold guy

in the end

cuz I died to him

[agile jacinth]

You can play as him.

[viscid citrus]

fuck

well I lost it

[urban jackal]

@tall dagger

[tall dagger]

[wise quarry]

[agile jacinth]

Beautiful.

[urban jackal]

[open grove]

[tall dagger]

what ever makes your lady happy ig...

[urban jackal]

[urban jackal]

wdym

[wise quarry]

ight im dippin, catch yall on the flipside, when multiplayer drops we all become rivals

[open grove]

read what you said very slowly

[urban jackal]

fisting?

[agile jacinth]

Swords feel better as well. Was playing on veteran and i kept killing with stabs really easily.

[slate granite]

poor fella has no heart no more

[open grove]

damn your innocent

[urban jackal]

is that not just fighting with fists

[open grove]

no 😭

[agile jacinth]

https://tenor.com/view/the-deluge-gif-26635380

well what does fisting mean then

[agile jacinth]

No, no, it is..

[open grove]

nsfw

[agile jacinth]

It's just fighting!

[urban jackal]

because now that i know its bad, i really wont search it up

[agile jacinth]

Yes, because violence is unsafe!

[open grove]

yes defintly"

[open grove]

[storm storm]

This guy took 2 minutes to stand up

[urban jackal]

this server has images and videos of people getting chopped in half

[storm storm]

and he's fucking stumbling

[urban jackal]

thats me

[agile jacinth]

It's not condoned here at all.

[agile jacinth]

[urban jackal]

how long will that take

👅

[open grove]

1 lunar calendar

[urban jackal]

i thrusted this guys neck finally

[slow ridge]

why is there still old style menu background video while it's not used?

[urban jackal]

the heaviest armoured guys are so annoying to fight man

[plucky sigil]

yall where in the files can i change the keybinds?

[tall dagger]

impossible

[crimson hemlock]

is there gonna be more gore options

[urban jackal]

i think its gory enough

[agile jacinth]

Psst.

[slow ridge]

is all the progress saved in 1 file? If yes where is it I want to copy it as asave

[urban jackal]

i did that

im proud of myself

[plucky sigil]

aight thanks

[agile jacinth]

I'll give you my technique for it, half sword, thrust, point it forward, and sprint right for them.

[urban jackal]

it takes alot of precision

[agile jacinth]

If you miss, run back and try again.

[agile jacinth]

Or a lot of grappling.

[slow ridge]

I mean u need to throw them to the ground by hitting them in the 1st strike exchange, the n beat the shoot out of them

[urban jackal]

oh i usually just half sword, go around their neck

then go back and forth

usually a limb will fall off

[agile jacinth]

The armpit is a pretty easy target as well.

[slow ridge]

so is it saved in a file?

[agile jacinth]

For thrusting into.

[urban jackal]

but thats boring

need some challenge

[agile jacinth]

Yeah, it is, half swording is way more rewarding.

[urban jackal]

i go for the shin

instant win

[agile jacinth]

Sometimes I can even get it into their elbow or gauntlet.

[gilded breach]

death hug

[urban jackal]

did they add modeled penis

genuine question

[urban jackal]

yes

mushroom joker

[warm veldt]

how do i copy save files?

[gilded breach]

love it makes me feel like a commodo dragon rolling them around

[slow ridge]

want to experiment a bit

without losing progress

[urban jackal]

well

[urban jackal]

another fun thing to do

is cut their neck and watch them stumble

while they slowly bleed out

i think i might be a little unhinged

[slow ridge]

well thats true

[agile jacinth]

Yeah, this is like, a safe game to let people play.

And then let those people go and roam about, living their normal lives.

[slow ridge]

watch them as they struggle to walk towards u and then they fall and never satnd up

[gilded breach]

this game brings out the psycho in u dont worry bout it

[unkempt wraith]

left undercut is pretty strong in heavy armored combat

[urban jackal]

thats actually kinda true

[unkempt wraith]

goes past the shield and hits the armpit so lol

[urban jackal]

kind of though

[storm storm]

can you guys teach me how to slice without killing

I want to see the human limit

[urban jackal]

wdym

[gilded breach]

go for limbs

[urban jackal]

cut their arms and legs yeah

[gilded breach]

like the hands and feet

[slow ridge]

it's funny that sometimes u commit horryfiyng things and then randomly there is abit of honour in waht ure doing. For example when they begging for mercy u leave them

[urban jackal]

most of the time neck shots wont even kill them

[agile jacinth]

Pull the cuts back before they hit so it sorta flicks into them.

[slow ridge]

and sometimes u destroy them

[urban jackal]

oh i dont let them have any mercy

[dark roost]

How the hell do i beat the 2nd boss with fists

[urban jackal]

theyre there to kill me

[dark roost]

He has a scythe

[agile jacinth]

I spare people if I like their armor.

[urban jackal]

scythe is easy to counter

[gilded breach]

wtf how

[agile jacinth]

Or they put up a HELLA good fight.

[dark roost]

How?

[urban jackal]

get right up to him

[dark roost]

He just grabs me

[urban jackal]

just punch his hand

oh

[slate granite]

every armour has its weakness muhehe

[urban jackal]

i usually kill him within 10 seconds

the scythe is dog ass

[dark roost]

I just need to git gud i think

[urban jackal]

what

[gilded breach]

scythe fell from grace so so hard

[tall dagger]

scythe best weapon fr

[warm escarp]

Fresh, Slightly damaged Head for sale!

[urban jackal]

if they kept kicking and shoving me, no quick death for them

[unkempt wraith]

what cuts do u guys often use for sword combat?

i often just do a lateral cut to the face lol

[gilded breach]

sirloin

[urban jackal]

so fun

[warm escarp]

you do cuts?

[fossil wing]

did they purposefully design the baron to knock u over if u just slightly walk near his radius or sumthin?

[warm escarp]

i stab and hope i kill my enemy!

[urban jackal]

aim for the shins

[urban jackal]

usually it will just get cut off

[agile jacinth]

Yeah, if they look cool, i try to beat them nonlethally and let them live when they surrender.

[mossy trail]

crouch and do a cool samurai swing to the body

[gilded breach]

0.3 scythe would have cut him in 4 with 0 twirling

[open grove]

great dodge yet self harm

[storm storm]

What is this movement

[urban jackal]

i also have a massive hate towards shield users

[open grove]

speed dodges

[stray talon]

How are you supposed to stab effectively?

[open grove]

i can show you the actual dodges

[agile jacinth]

Fair enough.

[open grove]

one sec

[urban jackal]

if they use a shield, i usually go for the legs or just half sword to smack the shield away

half the time ill die

[candid canopy]

do yall use the sword

[warm escarp]

idk, i just stab and pray

[mossy trail]

click m1 twice

[urban jackal]

by swinging it

use the mouse buttons

[agile jacinth]

Use the billhook!

[candid canopy]

if you click rmb with the sword you can use it as a spear

[tough kindle]

I died 4 times on the ultimate challange today

[stray talon]

I deem that strat innefective. Why: I can't make it werk it

[tough kindle]

This is my last try

[urban jackal]

hold alt

[mossy trail]

threw in a fun fact

[candid canopy]

i dont like alt

i like rmb more

[slow ridge]

I randomly hit him with halabard i think and he just fainted xd

[candid canopy]

imma play half sword now

[urban jackal]

im playing half sword as we speak

[gilded breach]

crack tier game

[urban jackal]

does anyone else also enjoy swinging around their bodies

[agile jacinth]

You know, i used to hate the billhook because I couldn't use the range right, now it's my favorite weapon.

[urban jackal]

and watch the blood go everywhere

[tough kindle]

WAIT

[slate granite]

one of my willies ( not me ) just aura farming while i get pieced up ( literly )

[tough kindle]

[storm storm]

why isn't he moving

[slate granite]

just a scratch you will need more to take me down 🐲

[agile jacinth]

He didn't even get close.. 😭

The billhook is the best.

[crimson hemlock]

is there a way i can save pictures from the game album

[slate granite]

[agile jacinth]

I just did the arm thing again, damn..

[urban jackal]

does anyone ever feel bad killing them

[warm escarp]

nope

[candid canopy]

look in photography

i sent a picture

[clear bobcat]

Never

[tough kindle]

Guys you can fight with a lower rank and get bonus points

[warm escarp]

If I felt bad about killing them, I would not do this

[urban jackal]

which weapon?

[warm escarp]

i did that with an axe

[urban jackal]

my claymore does not seem to do the job

[red prairie]

never

[mossy trail]

i sometimes do and think if they had any children

[slate granite]

ima kill their children next

[clear bobcat]

I'll kill them too

[urban jackal]

what if they beg for mercy

[mossy trail]

[urban jackal]

ill finish you off

[red prairie]

pls do

[meager sorrel]

people play in first person?

[storm storm]

wtf is this cracked movement

[urban jackal]

[agile jacinth]

Yeah, why not?

[meager sorrel]

I know but why would I its terrible

[urban jackal]

it can be fun

just hard to getting used to

[meager sorrel]

I guess if u want a challenge

[urban jackal]

yeah

[clear bobcat]

Killing willies puts bread on my willie's table

[warm escarp]

3 dead willies, 6 pieces of dead Willies!

sorry, let me correct myself, 7 pieces of dead Willies

[agile jacinth]

YO THROUGH HIS VISOR SLIT

[urban jackal]

what weapon can destroy the helmet

[warm escarp]

The only things that bother me are those noises they make when you stab or cut their throats

[urban jackal]

is it the mace or morningstar?

[agile jacinth]

Thank you.

[red prairie]

having fun a with a demo makes me feel like a kid again

[agile jacinth]

@stiff belfry

I'll try it next duel, thanks.

[warm escarp]

There are even some Willies I very much hate, just like this one I beheaded

[agile jacinth]

Nah man, i got the hook through his eye slit.

[open grove]

yeah

[tall dagger]

real...

[static pulsar]

Why do the controls feel more clunky to me

[tall dagger]

gotta adapt. they're definitely different ant take some playstyle adjustments

[agile jacinth]

Thing used to be the bane of my existence, now it can't even touch me.

No idea how i got it, absolutely insane.

It did manage to kill me a bit ago, true..

[astral raven]

Is the game broken

[static pulsar]

Also it feels as if weapons such as the axe have been shaven down with sandpaper

[astral raven]

The ultimate challenge was fighting a guy with an axe and I have nothing

[tall dagger]

this is extremely false

im cutting heads in half through helmets bro 😭

[meager sorrel]

wish there was an option to make blood clear the ground every round

[astral raven]

Of course I lose all my progress when I was at the very top to stepping on a sliver of a blade on the ground

[tall dagger]

willie barely grazes my finger tip with the farmers axe and my whole arm is gone like....

[astral raven]

Yup

[static pulsar]

Willie was never meant to use weapons

True willy uses iron gauntlets and beats his foes to death

[tall dagger]

i stepped on an axe and died in the final challenge. then stepped on axe in the abyss and lost my character

[warm escarp]

A Willie has been once more stabbed in the willie

[agile jacinth]

LOL I TRIED THE OVERHEAD SPIN AND IT FLUNG ME OUT OF THE ARENA

[astral raven]

Basically what just happened to me except it wasn’t even anything, it was just some random box

[dawn plinth]

superman under that outfit

[warm veldt]

does trainers save loadout work in demo?

[agile jacinth]

NAH I DIDNT 😭

[slate granite]

i see the light

!

[tall dagger]

golden dong for the win

[astral raven]

Yeah the axe is basically as sharp and an atom and the knives some how do absolutely nothing

[tall dagger]

plankton for the win

[astral raven]

Slashing is useless with the butcher knife somehow

[cerulean cloud]

the abyss so bad y do i get sent to it when i get stabbed and i dont even get knocked out or die

[tall dagger]

getting stabbed is your death...

[agile jacinth]

I'll see if it happens again, maybe I'll clip it next time.

[cerulean cloud]

i dont die from getting stabbed tho

it just knocks me over

[tall dagger]

dying sends you to the abyss on gauntlet

[cerulean cloud]

oh i didnt know that cuz i've died before and not sent to gauntlet

probably because i got cut in half or sumthin

but i got sent to abyss when i got cut in half one time

its just confusing how it works

[tall dagger]

you die in gauntlet you go to the abyss. you die in the abyss, you lose your character

[fossil wing]

does anyone have any tips for the final challenge

[static pulsar]

Invincible

[static pulsar]

Go beggar

[tall dagger]

spears and pole arms. keep your distance

[static pulsar]

The fist of willie bests all

[fossil wing]

every attempt ive made i mostly lost due to getting knocked over by sumthing thats slightly near me

[tough kindle]

I FUCKEN DID IT

[tall dagger]

keep your distance, work on knocking over the armored enemies and making them surrender

[tough kindle]

YESSS

I BEAT THEM

AJNSFJNSAJ

[fossil wing]

i knocked the baron down once but he suddenly gained the armor of god and took no damage from me bashing him over the head with a pole hammer

[minor jacinth]

The half sword experience:

get knocked over and whacked to death
instant death poke

[static pulsar]

This pic goes so hard though holy shit

[tall dagger]

held your weapon to his throat for a couple seconds

[fossil wing]

i completely forgot about that in the heat of the moment

[fossil wing]

the scariest thing in this game is the baron charging u while half-swording his ultra greatsword

[fossil wing]

cus i got bad armor rng and got no armor for my arms or hands otherwise that would have been the end for mr baron

[tall dagger]

ive never let him get the chance to use his sword

[warm escarp]

These shield users thought they are safe until i get my sword around their neck!

[fossil wing]

i somehow flung his polearm out of his hands and as a result he tripped over himself

[urban jackal]

you deserve ut fir ysubga cguekf

[urban jackal]

you deserve it for using a shield

[fossil wing]

but he just stood back up

[tall dagger]

did you jsut have a stroke???

[fossil wing]

and ive learned that the baron is resistant to backshots

[urban jackal]

i do not look at my keyboard when i type

sometimes i mess up

[lament wraith]

anyone else feels like disarming is a lot easier now?

[urban jackal]

no

kind of

[tall dagger]

idk man... i thnk we need to call you an ambulance...

[urban jackal]

ues pireae

plea

i dont even want to type

anymore

[tall dagger]

no? i use to be able to grab willies hand and make him drop his weapon. i cant do that anymore on the demo

[urban jackal]

Unfortunately, I am unable to assist you with that. Please try again later.

[lament wraith]

ive been getting into clinches a lot so it might just be that

[cerulean cloud]

my turn

[urban jackal]

i punched this guy and blood squirt everywhere

he just died

[cosmic crow]

is there a way to disable the abyss

[crisp swallow]

its only easier when i got gauntlets on, normally they just keep going when i grab them but gauntlets clip with the weapon and just send it flying

[solemn holly]

no

[astral raven]

So did my game glitch, I beat all the stuff and it said prepare for the ultimate challenge, which was just me naked vs a guy with an axe

[warm escarp]

This is the furthest I have ever gotten, Woo!

[astral raven]

There wasn’t a baron

[rugged bay]

Guys, please help me, when I launch the game, at the moment of choosing cruelty, nothing happens, what should I do?

[burnt quiver]

what do you mean by choosing cruelty?

[rugged bay]

sec

[tall dagger]

clean instal the game. delete every last instance of the halfsword files in your PC and reinstall

[rugged bay]

at moment of coosing level of displayed violence

[fossil wing]

i beat the baron at his own game

[rugged bay]

i should try this

[tall dagger]

IF YOU ARE STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH THE GORE SELECTION SCREEN BUG- WE HAVE A NEW FIX—

[cloud spindle]

Gautlet mode has made me realize I might be ass at Halfsword

[shell onyx]

So uhh... imagine Spoilance...

but it's enjoyable.

[tall dagger]

spoilance is enjoyable?

[shell onyx]

it could be.

[tall dagger]

it is

[cloud spindle]

Lmao I made it to the 5th tier and instantly died by ramming myself into the enemy's spear

[shell onyx]

It maybe is the first 3 times

but the utter lack of variety in weapons makes it get old really fast

[hoary silo]

WHY ARE LOW PEASANT TIERS SO FUCKING HARג

[latent moon]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/k2bqC5NmiTpJl0Jhm?invite=cr-MSxYcjMsMTAyNzY5ODA1

[hoary silo]

D

[sinful flint]

how to save

[latent moon]

Toughest willie i fought

[burnt quiver]

it should just autosave when you go to menu (it won't save abyss runs i dont think)

[sinful flint]

i mean how to keep the save file

[burnt quiver]

I honestly don't know

[tall dagger]

find the gauntlet progression save file and copy it to another folder

[fossil wing]

uh is it normal for the different fights to still have points assigned to them in free mode?

[tall dagger]

yep.

[fossil wing]

ok ty

[vague umbra]

I wont let me select the gore mode when ifirst launch the game how do i fix it

[shell onyx]

Imagine it with more RNG to the spawned weapons (plank of wood, wooden club, stone brick, breakable chair, live chicken, tickle feather, lute, oar, crap wooden shield)

[tall dagger]

really? a chicken?

[shell onyx]

as a ranged attack perhaps

maybe its a demented chicken

[rugged bay]

dude i do all what you tell me but i still cant anything, im shoosing and nothin happen

[tall dagger]

did you go into appdata and locate every instance of halfsword there?

[rugged bay]

i dont have this in appdata

[tall dagger]

do windows + r > %appdata% > App data > local

you may need to do "show all files"

[warm veldt]

is this update just really unstable?? why are crashes so frequent

[rugged bay]

i dont have app data

[tall dagger]

turn down blood slider for final challenge

[rugged bay]

no

[warm veldt]

tried that already

[tall dagger]

brother. yes you do

[warm veldt]

still crashes

[rugged bay]

i dont have no local

[tall dagger]

BROTHER

YES YOU DO

everyone does

hit windows key on your keyboard and R together

type %appdata% in that box

[fickle bay]

is there anyway to make the give up button faster?

[rugged bay]

next

what next

here is no local

im in AppData

[tall dagger]

at the top click app data

[rugged bay]

finally i found it

bruh

[tall dagger]

lol

[rugged bay]

i dont have VersionTest54

here

[tall dagger]

dont do that one

[rugged bay]

okay alr do

[warm veldt]

any1 know how i can save my file that has baron just incase?

[tall dagger]

[rugged bay]

deleted

after delete game and install sure?

[tall dagger]

yep

[junior compass]

What is the game supposed to be like when it fully releases?

[solid wadi]

Will horses be added to the game in the future?

[naive iron]

is it just me or is it way easier to fall over?

[rugged bay]

DUUUUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH

THAT FINALLY WORKS

[tall dagger]

yessir

[junior compass]

I used to stumble around alot more in earlier versions

When are you stumbling?

[naive iron]

hmm, mayhaps im just bad then but using fist willie i feel like i bump off people or trip over myself all the time lmao

[junior compass]

Fair enough with fists 😭

You get knocked out pretty easily

[naive iron]

wanted to try to beat as many as i could, but in commoner era i just bump off their shields and fall over :( they dont even hit me, i just fall

[junior compass]

Fair enough with shields

They charge me sm 😭

Then I just lay there getting my ass beat

[warm veldt]

any1 know how to fix the abyss crashing each time you try to go there

[jolly gorge]

HALFSWORDERS

hi

[neon furnace]

Is slow mode here

Were back

[tall dagger]

go back to general

i won... but at what cost?

[jolly gorge]

rizzbellion must go on 💔

they're BANNING "js"

[tall dagger]

💔

[jolly gorge]

i cant HANDLE this prejudice

[neon furnace]

1984

[plucky lintel]

RIZZBELION
oh my gyadd they got slowmode here

[tall dagger]

we should all make our server usernames brainrot

[jolly gorge]

THEY PUT SLOWMODE ON THIS WHAT DO WE DO 💔 💔

[neon furnace]

We will rebel

[plucky lintel]

WE TALK IN USERNAMES

[neon furnace]

That's too slow also we gotta have rizzbelion in our names

[plucky lintel]

hell yeah

[tall dagger]

LONG. LIVE. THE RIZZBELLION!!!!!

[shell onyx]

What is the point of abyss?

Doesn't seem to have any point and it's unsurvivable anyway

[storm storm]

30 seconds literally 1984 🥀

[storm storm]

If you beat the boss you get revived at the rank you died at

[shell onyx]

Theres no boss just fights

[junior compass]

For me it's just fighting people until I eventually get to the rank I was at

[shell onyx]

And as you can quite randomly die in combat it's not very enjoyable to go back to square 1 due to rng

[midnight shard]

is anyone elses game crasing at the ultimate challenge

[storm storm]

You should turn off blood

[midnight shard]

i will try it

[storm storm]

the abyss button or the abyss you died during gameplay

[shell onyx]

Like the 2nd boss or whatever, with the black outfit and massive sword is impossible unless you pick the right weapon when starting that section.

[glossy tendon]

i lost the baron cuz i died in gaunlet ?

[agile jacinth]

@stiff belfry Even a fully plated knight trembles at the sight.

[storm storm]

ermm, just get a long candle stick

[shell onyx]

2nd boss not the first one

[storm storm]

yeah just use a long candle stick

if you attack him while he's charging up, his attack won't go through

[shell onyx]

You cant select that as a weapon on the character/weapon choosing screen

[storm storm]

oh you meant not the abyss

Just use a peasant's pitchfork and hold alt while charging at him. You win instantly if you hit, and if you miss, just get far away and do it again

[shell onyx]

Yes thats the thing, you are fucked if you didn't pick that one weapon.

[storm storm]

One way I found to counter him is to circle him while letting him use his overhead attack.
But yeah, the boss is bullshit

[junior compass]

THANK YOU for telling me the button to thrust again

[storm storm]

Remember to never pull out until you confirmed the victory

[junior compass]

The keybinds in game deceived me 💔

[shell onyx]

I beg your ||p||ardon?

[forest spear]

anyone know about a bug where you spawn without weapons?

i keep getting it and cant fix it

[ember siren]

When you start a new gauntlet run you lose it

But you can just take the file and put it in again and don't have to win gauntlet again

[storm storm]

Are you playing the playtest version? I thought it got patched out
Weird, I never got the problem

[forest spear]

the demo

[glossy tendon]

iyes

[solid yarrow]

it can happen still it's just more rare

[glossy tendon]

i shouldnt need to do stuff with files to keep baron .

[ember siren]

I have the file asked a mod for it

[spice flax]

hey uh what should loadout should i use for man at arms rank i havent been this far

[storm storm]

Rank 4 spiky polearm

[jolly gorge]

Big hammer with spikes

[storm storm]

it's fast and it's safe with the insane reach the weapon has

[spice flax]

tryna find it

[shell onyx]

its also jank as f when halfswording, sometimes willie will just never get to hold it 2 handed or if he does it's with it behind his back

[storm storm]

Yeah, you need to reset the stance for him to hold with 2 arms

[spice flax]

#game-footage-🎮🎥 message is this it?

No

slow mode...

[stiff spindle]

pain stakingly beat the Baron, just to curiously hit the gauntlet button and have to reset

[supple flint]

my tummy hurts

[junior compass]

Any tips for actually getting through the game? 😭

[supple flint]

dont die

[junior compass]

Specific please

[storm storm]

you can lower the enemy's damage in the settings if you want

It's just being safe otherwise

[visual lion]

after dying in gauntlet mode

[junior compass]

Thank you I love you

[clever lodge]

is the baron just gold armor or what

[visual lion]

is it possible to return from abyss

[charred moth]

anybody else feel a lil bad when you break willies leg and he still tries to fight, screaming in pain

[junior compass]

When you put it all the way down does it just make you immortal? I'm tanking hits like the terminator rn

[jolly gorge]

No

[storm storm]

You can still get decapitated by sharp attacks

[grim latch]

upvote for willie hair option. No more hairless willie

[junior compass]

Yeah just got my arm lobbed off 💔

[visual lion]

?

[charred moth]

you can still die, pretty easily too if you are reckless.
but it makes it much better in terms of survivability

[junior compass]

Does damage to player also affect the guy in the selection screen? I really like punching him

[soft osprey]

@serene brook change your damn name please

Only warning

[tribal comet]

dude the man at arms boss is so annoyiong

[junior compass]

Which one is that?

[serene brook]

Ok

[soft osprey]

Ty

[tribal comet]

the one with armor everywhere and the polehammer

[analog stream]

I felt like the knight one was worse

[tribal comet]

is that the last one?

[white quail]

I just got the final tier and got instantly cut in half by a hoe 😪

[analog stream]

He is armored everywhere² has a heater shield and wield a battleaxe in one hand

[tribal comet]

yeah i haven't gotten there yet

oh my fucking god he just hits you while you're on the ground and it's so annoying

[whole sandal]

My favorite way to end a fight is to disarm my opponent and throw his sword out of the ring

[analog stream]

Specially considering the knight characters turn into a floppy noodle everytime they get a slight tap in the head

[storm storm]

damn

You should try getting hit in the head, it does that

[granite sigil]

tbf swinging a 20 pound warhammer into a head with a 10 pound metal helmet no cushioning would give you a pretty serious cuncusion at the least

[south mirage]

bro i really can't kill the last boss

[hexed violet]

https://tenor.com/view/half-sword-lobotomy-willie-half-sword-willie-lobotomy-gore-gif-11873384114413719086

[granite sigil]

which one? the one that you need to fight one of everything from nothing or the one before

[south mirage]

the one with the aaxe

[granite sigil]

ah hes defo tough what you fightin him with?

[analog stream]

They dont weight 20 pounds 💀
Plus the helmets have cushioning inside them, they are quite advanced by the 15th century

[south mirage]

a mace and a tiny ahh shield

[granite sigil]

warhammers are 20 pounds

[south mirage]

but bruh he's like 2 meters tall and im smol af

[shadow schooner]

when did the matchups in this game get so unfair? like im in armor and gauntlets against a naked dude

[granite sigil]

youg ot a half sword as your secondary? if so id recomend throwing the shield and dawning the sword to block his attacks then just parying him to death

[pale marsh]

the new demo is cool asf

[south mirage]

im getting ptsd from ts

[analog stream]

What, where did you get that weight

[pale marsh]

when the gun update that adds the glock 19 and ak47

[granite sigil]

its cool jsut crashes a lot and its weird how willie can get out center frame is weird

[granite sigil]

honestly i find that version of the armor terrible i prefer the lighter one

[south mirage]

ok

[granite sigil]

i find that that armors more easily penitratable at least with my play style of up close and in your face

[south mirage]

but man he just keeps pushing me onto the ground and spamming me with the axe

[wary pewter]

A warhammer being 20 pounds is ridiculous. They’re much more expensive than that

[supple flint]

im in love with this new technique, you grab onto ur enemy and slam em into the barrier

[south mirage]

this mf right here

[granite sigil]

yeah if you really need you can try to use a long ranged waraxe

[analog stream]

2 pence and some fish and chips, take it or leave it

[south mirage]

like this one ?

[granite sigil]

yeah tahts what i used to take him on just slam his head in and use the half stance to block his axe swings

[south mirage]

or maybe a longsword

[lapis marsh]

thats a poleaxe

[granite sigil]

anything to stay at range and parry his attack cuz one hit with the axe your ko'd

[south mirage]

uh ok thank

[slim vale]

i need zweihander!!!

[wary pewter]

Blimey!!!!

[south mirage]

well i'll try now to kill this annoying individual

[granite sigil]

i need a 12 guage in this game to feel real

[analog stream]

If the strategy is just to slam it at the top of his head then i think a polehammer might be better

[granite sigil]

youur going to rly hate the next one then its literally each stage fight one after the other with no gear to start and you just loot as you go

[south mirage]

oh hell naw

[modern swallow]

if this is a demo what could the full game possibly be

[south mirage]

its the golden boi ?

[granite sigil]

its the purple boi

i never beat the final one to unlock the golden boi so

[strange token]

so to save a game file do i just copy the 2 files in the game file?

[formal lichen]

if u loot a plancon you basically win

[raw tartan]

yeah, i cant wait for the full game to be released i will definitely be buying it

[south mirage]

get sh*t on bozo

[granite sigil]

lol yeah i hope that golden armor looks so fucking sexy

[prisma hinge]

I just broke my characters neck in the menu on my man at arms on gauntlet mode i hope the devs choke on their next meal

[south mirage]

@granite sigilthanks man you gave me the best advices fr

[formal lichen]

the full game will be peak

[formal lichen]

if u quit to menu after "intentionally" entering abyss u dont lose progress i believe

[granite sigil]

any time i love those they r so op gonna try and do the final one now since your also on it

[south mirage]

bet

[strong acorn]

Please zweihander!!

[south mirage]

its gonna be a hella of a fight

[formal lichen]

zweihander/montante wouldn't be very realistic for dueling, it's typically a war weapon for keeping enemies at bay

[south mirage]

wait what why don't i have any weapon

[wary pewter]

We have zweihanders

[granite sigil]

you start with none in that final game

[south mirage]

oh,well im dead anyways

[analog stream]

Billhook and voulge

[loud river]

Actually the opposite. Zweis and montantes were often used in civilian contexts for body guarding.

[analog stream]

Yeah, there are Two handed swords, just not the one with the spikes on the base of the blade that are associated with zweihanders

[formal lichen]

body guarding often involves dispersing crowds

[south mirage]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO THE GAME CRASHEEEDD NOOOOOOOOOOO

[safe prism]

any tips to not immediately ragdoll yourself against the baron 😭

[strange token]

those files dont exist for me, I just see Mainifest_UFSfiles_Win64 and Mainifest_NonUFSfiles_Win64. there are other folders and files, but nothing about saved info

[formal lichen]

fair enough

[fathom tinsel]

yoooo

[worn vessel]

Can i buy the game?

[safe prism]

AFTER GOD KNOWS HOW MANY ATTEMPTS, I UNLOCK THE BARON BECAUSE HE TRIPPED THE SECOND THE FIGHT STARTED???

[junior compass]

Thrust has to be the coolest thing in this game

[worn vessel]

I mean is it posable to buy the game

[drowsy flint]

he should have just given me alms when I asked

[safe prism]

the demo is currently free, theres no need to buy it rn

[wary pewter]

True yes I love being a pedantic loser for funsies. Anyways the zweihanders most people think of when hearing the word are out of period for the game iirc, from what I’ve heard from bigger pedantic nerds than me

[south mirage]

uh theres a problem i have lost all my progress

[granite sigil]

how?

[supple flint]

tthe knife is deep inside hm

[south mirage]

i simply died

[slow iris]

this is awesome

[strange token]

that'll happen

[south mirage]

broo im not doing everything again

[strange token]

you say that now

[charred moth]

woops

[slow iris]

if you don't want to lose all your progress try not being a poor fool

[south mirage]

idk what to do

[granite sigil]

lol you start over thats what to do now or play in free mode with no golden armor

[south mirage]

bruh got killed because a box slammed into me at mach 2 (skill issue)

[charred moth]

correct, skill issue

[south mirage]

yupn the curse is stil on

[granite sigil]

just decompile it and force your character progression through you got this bubx

[south mirage]

dumb person

[south mirage]

ok thx man

[ruby saddle]

guys how do I stab better? I just feel like using Alt and the mouse makes stabs quite innacurate

[drowsy flint]

you can kinda aim normally then double left click but i find alt more reliable

[slender peak]

finally beat the baron after a long session of fatal errors

[drowsy flint]

taking the beggar as far as he can go

[safe prism]

i dont suppose anyone else has been having problems with their character just falling from the slightest nudge?

[south mirage]

bruh get boxed

[ruby saddle]

did you get any reward?

[drowsy flint]

this one had a falchion and buckler

he now has 0 intact facial bones

[junior compass]

Some of the deaths in this game feel so randomly unfair 💔

[fathom tinsel]

is it even possible to beat the axe man in the demo?

[safe prism]

some fights entirely do, especially when you get knocked down becasue the enemy just ran into you and keeps hitting you until youre dead or give up

[ruby saddle]

the peasant boss? yes

[junior compass]

And when you get hit by an enemy once and you turn into mince 😭

[drowsy flint]

the bosses will be problematic in this run

[ember quartz]

Yuh, bait out an overhead swing and whack him.

[safe prism]

dude i just cannot beat the fucking baron. he just walks into me until im on the floor or gets an insta knock out or kill.

[drowsy flint]

i might allow myself a current tier fighter for the bosses with armour, everyone gets a beggar beatdown though

[junior compass]

I can't even get to him 😭

[soft osprey]

Here try this

[lean niche]

Stabbing Advice 🔪

When stabbing with alt (with swords), pull your weapon in closer to your body as opposed to extending your elbow out. It's much more accurate and stable.

Alternatively If it's a two handed weapon it is recommended to hold right click first, then drag your mouse to aim the weapon. Then from there double click and hold left mouse (you can try alt a little as well but clicking is more stable)
This is a much more stable and accurate stabbing pose, and a proper halfsword thrusting stance.

To practice your aiming, there's two different ways you can keep your FOV.
Third Person- with Low FOV, so you get a closer view.
or alternatively;
First Person- with High FOV, so you get a wide view of your weapon and it's positioning.
-# note, this works best for polearms or two handed swords

[Watch This Clip to see it in action!](#game-footage-🎮🎥 message)

[strange token]

fatal error on final challenge moment

[soft osprey]

Turn off blood for the final boss

Seems to be a common issue

[charred moth]

ahh nice and comfy away from the danger

[drowsy flint]

usually just bait a swing then hit him on the counter

[fathom tinsel]

how?

[safe prism]

everytime i do he hits me while recovering his weapon

[ember quartz]

Step into his range, then immediately out

You're talking about the beggar boss, right?

[drowsy flint]

get within axe range

he swings

you move backwards to dodge it

his swing hits the floor. you hit him

grab the knife in the middle to make it easier, or really any of the shit lying around on the floor

[slender peak]

you can play as him afterwards

[strange token]

should i even try

[ruby saddle]

yoo this helped a lot, thanks

[slender peak]

run in and stab him quicky with a dagger

[fathom tinsel]

ok tysm

[drowsy flint]

use the spoilance gear or the knife in the centre as well

[south mirage]

dang another bug im stuck at commoner rank

[ember quartz]

I hate to keep plugging it, but it's kind of the reason I made it. I made a guide on how to go about Gauntlet and... You know... Not die.

https://youtu.be/ikCKgfcn-U4?si=-ul2T29l0dqXH6Ph

[astral vine]

Is it startling when you die in this game

[ember quartz]

What do you mean by that?

[charred moth]

yes you get 45 seconds of screamers and satan yelling at you (no)

[molten galleon]

Do you need the trainer mod for this?

[safe prism]

dude does anyone have any real tips on how to beat the baron, nothing i try is working

[charred moth]

sometimes with how physics are when you holster knives, you probably dont need it

[astral vine]

I feel like a jolt in my chest when my characters head gets cleaved in half and my screen turns all red, almost like a jumpscare

[molten galleon]

You automatically forfeit when exiting the arena

[charred moth]

not if your opponent is dead

[ember quartz]

N.....no? If I could describe how it feels to die in Half Sword in a single image:

[molten galleon]

Ts pmo

[heavy pecan]

i just got launched across the map and died in the abyss and lost my whole save

[strange token]

game keeps crashing on the last fight

[astral vine]

You don't feel a jolt in your chest from suddenly dying?

[molten galleon]

Who does

[sleek valve]

Why does Willie look like putin

[restive garnet]

[safe prism]

shit looks like a cod cutscene

[restive garnet]

frfrfr

[molten galleon]

What's that? What's a shower?

[astral vine]

But your screen turning red and a loud cleaving sound playing is startling

[sleek valve]

vladimir putin after i betray his regine

[ember quartz]

No, just deep disappointment in myself for having to be victim of what the kids would call....

... a skill issue.

Play the game and find out. It's fun, I haven't gotten any weird sensory things like I would being flung in a VR game or something.

[restive garnet]

quick question, if you alt f4 mid battle do you lose your progress?

[safe prism]

THE FUCKING BARON JUST DELETED MY HELMET AND KILLED ME?????

[molten galleon]

You work on the game, you tell me

[ember quartz]

It shouldn't. Because it saves if you crash.

[restive garnet]

i dont use players build, but dev build so you tell me

[sleek valve]

Tbh I also just go 😐 whenever I die in blade and sorcery, I stop whatever cool shit I do and focus entirely on pressing the retry button

[astral vine]

But it's like so sudden and startling

[fathom tinsel]

ty

[restive garnet]

awesome

[sleek valve]

just hold g

[astral vine]

You just hear SHINGGGGG and your whole screen turns bloody and red, how is that not startling?

[sleek valve]

I've heard that so many times that I don't give a shit anymore. Even heard it in vr. (That's blade and sorcery for you)

[astral vine]

Then was it startling at first?

[ember quartz]

Oh, I don't care about BnS. I care about Halfsword though.

It's also really hard to die in BnS if you're semi competent with hand-eye coordination.

[sleek valve]

Still no. I played blade and sorcery first.

[ember quartz]

How old are you, lol?

That's not meant to be deragatory. ^

[astral vine]

Blade and sorcery isn't startling even when you die

[modest geyser]

What happens when you beat everyone as baron

[sleek valve]

And madness melee. None of those are startling.

[astral vine]

Why?

[median edge]

I think baron is just a reward. "Here's this op guy, go wild."

[sleek valve]

Alright but you still experience the same things, no? You hear shing, you see red vignette, you fucking die

[astral vine]

No, in blade and sorcery the death menu and music just pops up and it turns gray, nothing startling

It might be irrelevant, but I doubt someone in the Discord ToS age range would be over stimulated by Half Sword (speaking about the majority).

It's irrelevant, but I'm confused as to why you're scared of being startled by Half Sword.

[sleek valve]

Yeah well in half sword the surrender menu pops up or the death one does.

What therian said.

[restive garnet]

should i tell you

[ember quartz]

?

[astral vine]

It's just a quick jolt in my chest when I die bro, and it activates my self preservation instincts in game

[ember quartz]

Lol, the mimics?

[restive garnet]

veryyyy scaryyy

[tall dagger]

my legs just decided they just didnt want to work anymore

[heavy pecan]

bro the coffin is what made me fling the coffins are so buggy, i grabbed the coffin and it laucnhed me into space

[sleek valve]

Ok but I only experienced that in horror games like Into The Radius

[ember quartz]

I was probably just misinterpreting. Don't mind me.

[safe prism]

just died to the baron and the abyss bugged out and wouldnt spawn the bosses 🙂

[tall dagger]

you dont fight every boss during gauntlet abyss

[south mirage]

aim for the stars

[ember quartz]

Astro Willie

[astral vine]

So do you feel a jolt when you die?

[restive garnet]

in EA he would have lost his teeth

[safe prism]

it wouldnt spawn any boss at all, i was there for like 10ish minutes suffering my ass off

[ember quartz]

No.

[restive garnet]

a JOLT??

[tall dagger]

you go until you get to the only boss which in your case would have been the knight boss

[astral vine]

Why did you put a period?

[restive garnet]

what you strap on an electro vest or something

[south mirage]

i believe bro destroyed his screen after this one

[ember quartz]

That's how you end a sentence.

[fathom tinsel]

you dont start over everytime u die in the actual game right? if so this game is gonna be the peak of rage quitting

[sleek valve]

No but I kinda do when I play horror games like Into the radius, especially if I see that running dude while I'm trying to find where I threw away my gun

And even this is on easy mode

[safe prism]

it was spawning knights or at least the one beneath it and never spawing the final boss of it

[restive garnet]

if you play gauntlet mode yes

[ember quartz]

Unless you're questioning or exclaiming something of course.

[restive garnet]

free mode no

[fathom tinsel]

how do i play regular mode

[restive garnet]

free mode

[tall dagger]

the devs dont want an easy game

[south mirage]

[lucid crypt]

is it just me or is this game rlly hard

[south mirage]

[tall dagger]

its suppsoed to be. but no? its pretty easy

[sleek valve]

It's a physics game with physics npcs after all unlike blade and sorcery with trash unfun npcs

[lucid crypt]

i cant even get past commoner stage

[tall dagger]

game takes practice.

[sleek valve]

But it's also pretty easy to just cheese, choose the best weapon and stab them to death

[timid imp]

is it just me or is passive parry way way stronger this update?

[restive garnet]

if its too difficult adjust damage to npc and player

[ember quartz]

[restive garnet]

playing with controller is fun

[ember quartz]

I'm glad I never joined. Way too annoying of a platform.

[opaque creek]

I had a dream I played with controller and it actually felt good

[south mirage]

apparently the game decided no but i ain't giving up

[median edge]

Anyone tried playing with gyro as mouse?

[timid imp]

i think you lie to me

[restive garnet]

flamboyant

he got macdonalds color

[ember quartz]

Perfectly highlights the groin with a dull grey. I love him.

[median edge]

It's fun as heck, even more than mouse and keyboard. Just have to remap some keys and fling your controller as if it's a sword

[median edge]

Weeeee

[south mirage]

holdon im gonna lower the graphics to the lowest to see what happens

blurry af

[median edge]

Resolution doesn't change in borderless, only in full screen. Makes it a pain when I want to alt tab and play at 30 fps

[median edge]

Now change resolution to the lowest and press fullscreen

[south mirage]

bet

it looks worst on my pc trust me

[restive garnet]

my guy looking photogenetic

[median edge]

That's how I have to play

[south mirage]

oh, man...

[tall dagger]
