low settings on graphics and tickle mode on gore
I'm just going to bed, its 1 am and I've literally gotten too desperate
Sleep
im gonna do that next time, my game cant handle 4 knights in full armor clanking around with all the loot on the ground
I will and im going to enjoy it
really it’s just because the game is so unoptimized
i have a fairly good setup and it still crashes every now and then
it’ll get better with time
bro can I reply faster geez 30 SECONDS, whos the dumbass that texts like XQC
yeah this slowmode is… frustrating, to say the least
very
like bro Helldivers 2 slowmode is 1 minute
How can I get a role to be able to post photos?
https://youtu.be/NZzWWWtIfJM?feature=shared
Also, no.
I'm pretty it involved half swording, and then letting go of half swording, pressing alt and moving the mouse up all in a single motion.
Been a while though and I'm pretty sure it was only really good with the voulge.
just chat a ton
it’s a level thing i think
fuck the abyss man
@fresh whale please do the same for the baron, theyre similarly armored i think
Personally I found it easier to use than just stabbing normally and it had insane bonk damage
yeah level 3
lvl3 iirc
Barron is literally the brothers and arm but golden and has a little strand of hair ontop
In* not and
I try to be reactive
Then I try to find easy attacks to spam
And then I need to figure out how to be reactive again lol
i can see this being good with a poleaxe too at close ranges, and the spear as well
anyways gn, gotta sleep cuz I'm getting my wart removed tomorrow, crazy right
It felt a bit more awkward when I tried to do it again but I haven't played all that much to begin with
Iirc, the whole thing originated when I was trying to copy m00.
How to got to that, I dunno since it's way less dynamic.
I think I just found an extremely easy to spam move while try to do the polearm switching thing or something and just stuck with it.
Also, by that point there didn't seem to be much updates or anything coming out so I just started fucking around with trainer mod
I feel like if i win and the victory voiceline says Thy bravery is proven, no need for more proof, and the guy is still alive im gonna try to pull him to his feet lol
also i love it when it says i seek no quarrel with thee, nor thy kin, after taking his fkin head off lmao

im addicted to kicking people in the face
ROUNDHOUSE
How
speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen whhiile kick and pray to whatever god you believe in
also how did you get him to despawn
thats cos its the final challenge, thee corpses mush into the floor
BRUHHH my game crashed in the final floor
This game is insanely good Ibe been up till 4 45 am beating this man to death
i plaay with wayyyy to low of a sensitivity to do this
I hope they add blood on armor as well as bones visibility, spine injury and individual bone breaks
yeah i maxed it out lol and i have a big mousepad
This will convince my friends
i prefer low sens for thhe control but ive done my messinng around with high sens lmao
I love seeing bones get broken... Face will do
i usually play super low sens in every game i play but i like it high in this one. still feels usable
id be saying the same if my pc could run more than the fistfights
yea i agree i just cant give up my fine control with super low sens. it helps me get clean parries and such (im not really a fistplay enjoyer)
I love grabbing Willie and then pounding his face in with my fist
i like to think im pretty okay at parrying with the high sens. my obsession today has been trying to slip duck and dodge attacks with the faster dodge faction lol
almost ended myself with this one
lmao, i was throwing weapons in the air earlier in a spoilage trying to catch them and i hit myself in the head with a pair of tongs
hahahhahaha
bro in the back fearing for his life
voulge spin attacks are so fun
i still haven't tried that spinny stuff yet i'll have to mess with it haha. it's hard in first person lmao
i just cant get past the commoner boss
yea i dont like doing it in first person cos you need to be able to see your hand positionn for the smooth switchh over
what does free mode do?
Look what i just stumbled uppn
can u pls tell me
Mb cool down
i saw that twooo!!!
We did it boys, we got articles now!
you cannot lose youre stuffs just fighting
thank you
I have been losing my mind with the ultimate challenge simply from the fact that weapons on the ground or the ones held by AI laying on the ground can still somehow impale onto me with their blade by just light touch :(
True to your name
when are we getting those sexy sub surfacce scattering eyes they teased to us in WIP, i want to see the light fade from willies eyes as i sink my sword into his throat
big tip, turn your player damage all the way to min and turn npc damage to max
but that shouldnt be required
its not but itll make it wayyyyy easier
i kinda wanted to do the entire game on normal settings (also this timer is diabolically long)
u play tarkov?
sure, what about it
didnt want to think i was going mad/readinng too muchh into your profile lmao
i need to start recording the stuff i do
i literaly split a willys head in half swinging backwards with a longsword
I play SPT to be more specific cause it's more fun
Zesty ass lookin Willie
i love spt but getting my friends to set up fika is just not hhappening so im stuck with pve when playing with friends and spt whhen solo
if we move this to general catfish i can give potential solutions
les gooo
I love getting sliced in half after being barely touched by a sword :)
i love the spiked club being rested on the side of my leg and my leg just detaching itself
simple solution, dont get touched
oh gee, really?! why did i not think of that! oh wait.. all i got is a knife.
i just run at those dudes in halfsword and either stab them in the chhest or put my hands over there hhead and pull thhe sword back throughh their head from behind, aint no fair fighht with that shit
i would do that but AI doesnt have a slower ass camera when turning around so they just follow me lmao
and i just bricked my game because i died as the win screen came up
before the last update my shit would crash every time i died or returned to main menu from abyss
knife is good enuf against unarmored opps
the knife is super deadly even againt opponents with long wepons as logn as unarmoured, gotta run up on them grab em withh one hand and do em london style
bob and weave when you got the little weapons haha
fuck off
thats nuts XD
illegal manouvers
dayum this is soo sick!
this is what that normally looks like lmao
ultimate challenge is just gg once you get damaged in an arm or leg
me when the wenchh jorks the gork
Peak.. (He barely touched me with the axe)
im pissed off by this now, i will go play free play now
oh wait what, you can break willies neck? (just broke his neck in the menu)
Ye
anyone else feel that the double click stab feels less responsive since demo update?
Ye
ok i will try
nutt
I just witnessed an enemy lose their hand pick up the sword in the other hand and still try to fight back is this a feature
well as you witnessed.. yes, it is..
is there a lore reason why setting my graphics to high caps my fps at 15 until i restart the game
i have thhe same issue but with epic just capping itself at 30
What actually gives you points in abyss mode? Is it just coming across items?
killing, murder, brutality
hush sweet child
how do y'all even hit?
Who's the grete champion now?
why do foot stabs instantly kill
i was going good through the ultimate challenge, almost knocked out the baron and then he stabbed me in the foot for one second and the game says i am dead
They hurt
it kills faster than having both of my arms chopped off, and i'm pretty sure that hurts too
yeah stabs are disproportionately damaging
who is the baron?
Stab in the hips=insta dead
Chopped off leg= screaming man hopping at you
big ass 10ft tall guy in gold armour with a polehammer that is long
probably didn't live enough to get to hin
i understand that stabs kill, but why the foot? if you say blood loss slitting the throat kills slower
yeah exactly
dont get me wrong, a stab in the lung will put someone down straight away, but in the hand? probably less so
throat slitting epicly doesn't even cause a bleeding
does on me, quite often ill catch something to the side of the neck and just near instantly bleed out and rightly so
damage is so weird. I die from being stabbed in the arm, but npcs don't die from being stabbed in the chest and having their aorta severed
i hit this guy so hard i rearranged his skull structure
I love cutting off their heads and holding them up and taking pictures
hitting the chin is the equivalent of hitting the forehead
why i cant play half sword play test?
Every. Time.
I don't know. Any error message?
I've legit never had this happen. Try switching either to dx12 or back to dx11
Hi guys. Is there anyone who successfully ran the game in UEVR, can someone share the setup config? 
an error occurred while launching this game:game not released
playtest is down
demo is updated
since when it down?
can we get like lifting so we can grab with both hands and press a button on our mouse to lift em up
ok the Ultimate Challenge feels like so many levels of BS
- Willie refusing to pick up weapons
- Your very first opponent having a pitchfork
- Being unarmored for so long
Cartel members:
- SPEARS
- if you get a bad weapon for your first opponent and your second has a longsword you're kinda screwed
ive been trying to reconnect with my beloved longsword, managed to kill the billhook boss with one 🙂
wait what is the ultimate challenge?
Why is the cropping so uneven on that picture hahaha
be purple boy
fight waves of opponets
kill baron
cause its just the windows shift s circular option
hell, if I face the pitchfork first I don't even have to get stabbed, my Willie has the durability of a wet noodle against KOs
Just use the square selection lmao
i didnt want to
fair enough
ok yeah spears are so BS to fight when you're unarmored
do the npcs with spear weapons just hope you walk into them? They almost never poke
spears are easy as crap IMO you just have to run up next to them and try to dodge the tip of the spear, or just punch their spear away
you're literally gambling with your first two opponents istg, if you don't get an axe or polearm you're screwed
thats a fair complaint, but im pretty sure they made it so if you loose you dont loose progress in the final boss fight
do yall ever get that bug where you cant regain stamina anymore
never had that happen to me
If you get in the head? That's not a bug I fear
i didnt get hit in the head but my stamina was constantly at 0 and wasnt going up
Oh, that IS a bug then lol
oh you make it sound SO easy
AAAAAND I just died from this weird bug where I walked backwards, SLID a short distance then promptly proceeded to fall over
istg my willie is so bad at balancing
mace is peak for ultimate challenge 🙏
and again your GAMBLING that your first 2 opponents are good, longswords are scary against peasant weapons that aren't the pitchfork (which itself will murder you if its your first opponent)
calm down, i just gave my take on it, it is easy for me so no crap i make it sound easy for me because as i said it was my opinion
the only thing i can hope for when i'm playing ultimate challenge is that the first guy doesn't have a pitchfork and th enext has a sword, because i can just beat them up even if they have a longsword
bro why the fuck the first champion so hard
like istg I don't know if you're playing a different game than I am because my pitchfork enemies have like 90% accuracy
help
I'm done with this stupid ultimate challenge. It's just gambling at this point.
how to pick up weapon in demo
press E to pickup with your right hand and press Q to pickup with your left hand
ty
np
ever since this game decided to delete my baron, i have reached baron thrice. twice is has crashed and the third i tripped over nothing and got bashed in. GIVE ME MY BARON BACK AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
turn blood off
breh, fatal error every time i do ultimate challenge
turn off blood
ah i just saw that, cheers
no problem m8
how do people do that flying kick
I did after i realised that was the issue 😭 on GOD why did my baron get fucking taken from me
probably because of an update, same happened to me, happens.
So has anyone else had the idea of this being multiplayer so that way you can whoop on your friends and not feel bad about it😂
no you are definetely the first ( NOT ) 😂
Bruh. I’m just saying. Like this shii would be fun asf. Just imagine the endless possibilities of fun with this game in different formats. The abyss would be great for a “BR” mode like 25 players maybe less.
i agree but its not happening anytime soon if ever
I don’t see why not. Maybe the creators would listen to its people. It could be in the works
i believe they havent ruled multiplayer out, its just more the logistics of making it work
A game with wacky physics and gore. Why not make it multiplayer
When will exit The next update of hall sword?
no one knows except the devs lol..
I do hope the next thing they add will be a custom character creator
indeed they havent, but its gonna take alot of work and time
oh yeah for sure, to be able to make such fluid motions purely physics based 1:1 for both players would be nuts
Is the demo bugged because no matter what rank i choose I get no weapon ever
Someone mentioned that they randomized the length of polearms in this, and I think I agree. It's very interesting. I feel like this is...longer.
willies sword is longer
lowkey js turn blood off
theyre not randomized
anyone?
never heard of this bug sorry
also how the fuck does y'alls games run so smoothly on dx12 but my laptop fries even on low graphics on dx12
I have blood off. on low. and my pc is still blowing up when i have a 3070, the devs need to sort this shit out. ultimate challenge is a joke at the moment
whats the difference even
will they add head explotion back?
dx12 renders more than dx11 (also dx12 is the newest rendering software shi)
the ones which were in demo (before the update), these loocked cool
no one knows
syncing
yeah its the same that happens with the game called "The Long Drive" its wacky and fun in singleplayer but the multiplayer is absolutely broken because its just unable to be synced properly
I would exit the game, validate files in steam, see if that fixes it by starting the game and trying it again, if that doesn't work, reinstall.
Also, DX12 uses the Unreal Engine 5 tech called Lumen, it's a ray tracing-like form of lighting. It takes more to run. It's not true ray tracing technically, it's a weird mish-mashy of regular global illumination lightning with ray tracing. It's very interesting.
I think it's just the dev being dumb.
ohhhhh thx
-I killed the baron and then crashed o7
bruh
the game runs more or less fine on my 2060 super with max gore
You're using a laptop. You may have better specs than my pc, but a laptop form factor will usually have issues under high loads, which this game would do. There's something called thermal throttling, which basically means your gpu or cpu is getting too hot and is having to run at a slower rate, meaning it is not performing like it would at a normal temperature.
OKAY GOOD IT STILL COUNTS
i mean my laptop is a victus after all, but if I do what you told me to do I think I can get at least 55 fps high graphics on dx12
Yeah mate you're using a thin small form factor laptop. It's a gaming laptop, but not a chunky one with big fans or anything like that. You're definitely some thermal throttling.
even my chunky big fanned one is gonna have some issues
yo the max amount of degrees i had on ts was like barely 80 with like 30 different apps opened, so I think I'll be fine ngl. I mean if I had a lenovo legion or a powerful one from asus I think I wouldn't have any problems ngl but still, I think my laptop can handle it
Also that message above was for you. I'll repaste it here.
I would exit the game, validate files in steam, see if that fixes it by starting the game and trying it again, if that doesn't work, reinstall.
lossless scaling works really nice with this
also I got the gpu and cpu overclocked so I think if I js fix my game up, I'll either have more or the same amount of fps I originally had
I like how glitchy the pitchfork is. Enemies tend to be helicopers when I stick one in them
I'm not insulting your laptop. Also 80c is when both GPUs and CPUs will generally start to thermally throttle.
yo ik bro but still, I don't think my laptop ever finna get hotter than 80
What are your specs
Yes your laptop will not get hotter than 80c because it's being thermally throttled.
minecraft shaders would like to know your location
how is that a glitch? what would you do if you got stabbed
I5 cpu, 3050 (both overclocked) , 144 hz (originally and now I have 157), 1080p screen and thas practically all ik abt it
Thermal as in heat, throttled as in control.
Heat control. Your laptop is lowing the speed of your cpu and gpu to keep it at 80c or below.
Check this video out
He got to the 2nd floor!
this game makes me crash out so hard but i love it
helicopter ah
i can’t believe that happened to people in the 1500s 😔 it looks so painful
gentle, gruesome or grotesque?

So that's what the song's name
physics were invented in 1501
willies in 1500:
man. even on medium graphics ult challenge keeps crashing
baron can't even kill a peasant on gfuel sad
"Fatal error!" fuck you i was actually doing well
its so annoying man
how can you fight the baron bro.... (also bro shitted on the baron like it was nothing)
Plot armor
is that vr
that's first person vro...
So...I have learned a special technique. A special polearm technique. BEHOLD:
in gauntlet mode after you unlock ult challenge you can start the gauntlet again and at the end you 1v1 baron. at least that's what it's doing for me lol idk if it's intended or not
Final challenge keeps crashing. I think the amount of items the enemies drop causes the game to lag.
you can actually do this with baron's polearm but it's very VERY hard to do (and slow if you miss)
There's also another secret technique which you can do with blunt weapons.
I call it:
BIPPITY BOPPITY YOUR KNEES ARE MY PROPERTY
breaking his knee caps is diabolical
the cracking and snapping is absolutely vile and i love it
It's fucking disgusting and gross. Whoever did the sound for it is legendary.
Is replicating this simple? is it just flinging the polearm up and do a counter-clockwise motion downward to hit the head? Or do you have to be percise
for me that is music to my ears vro, thas why I love half sword
Swing outward, press X to swap hands.
On this note, I think the hitting sound goes from bruising to bone crushing if hit consecutively at the same spot
how come i can slice someones jaw off and they survive, but if they tickle me with an axe my leg disappears
Usually, but if you hit the right spot hard enough you can insta crack
Do you swing on the way down, or do you let the gravity do its work?
It's gravity. Just keep trying it. You'll get the hang of it. I stole it from m00
hoe is easy, just like the polehammer/polearm but you gotta time it
Holy shit I just did a fucking kill move from like..AC Valhalla or some shit.
more like AC Origins, but still peak
Slung a mace at his toe
just fuckin lost ult challenge again because picking up weapons is the most inconsistent thing in the universe. kinda sick of this whole thing gonna be real
definitely killing any enjoyment . From the random instant kills to the constant crashing the real ultimate challenge is a Test of my Will to see this through
Honestly? Baron isn't that big of a deal. Just play on free mode.
I was about to embarrass myself on this server and ask if anyone found a "fair" damage modifier because something feels off if enemies just full speed snap on you with more force than you can dream of, like a knife splitting your head in half top down with no wind up and that on a 25% damage modifier... and then I see a peasant styling on a baron so hard I reevaluate my life choices lmao 😂
Honestly? even after reading this nugget of wisdom my feelings havent changed
Yeah that makes sense. This update definitely feels like the ai got boosted in an unfair way. I'm sure they'll fix it.
well they can’t get up with no knees 
even at minimum damage enemies can instant gib you
agreed
theres no way to avoid the dice roll minus just not getting hit lol
mods for this game are a different type of goofy
just had willie crash my game twice cause his descent from the heavens was so fast game couldnt keep up
are these spike-barricades ever going to be used?
Stumble and helmet headbutt are my biggest killer for real
quick question, i reached the ultimate challenge, if i die in there does all my progress get lost?
Ubislop mentioned
i wish, honestly it'd be awesome to wwe slam a willie into spikes
asmongold viewer spotted
if im not mistaken they couldve been seen behind the fence in earlier patches..
Question.
Is shift button now decreasing you stability?
Because whenever I run in to someone Im the one falling down.
So that was real nice to hear... I was kinda of burning out on the new update because of the jankiness but it's great to hear that others also share that sentiment. Thanks for telling me that it's a general thing!
the stumble is super rough, especially since willie basically can't get up from being knocked down without at least 5 full seconds of uninterrupted flopping
I take such an insult very seriously
someone please :')
i dont think so, i've never seen them in normal gameplay before, except for the playtest teasers
ubisoft does suck ass though, possibly the only thing stinkier than asmongold himself
Listen I just assume ubisoft haters are asmon watchers at this point. The games are clearly popular for a reason. I played through most of the new one by buying ubisoft+ and I had a hell of a time playing a 6 foot tall samurai that could slice peoples faces in half.
what game are you referring to?
It's historical fiction, not meant to be realistic.
And the microtransactions in AC:Shadows? They're for mouth breathing room temperature iq people.
I used Cheat Engine to just give myself all the materials and not have to grind to make my base better.
is using the baron tier basically immortal? i haven't lost any fight even when im using barehand]
ubisoft is a Big Evil Company who takes advantage of consumers and forces people to get their dogshit independent launcher for pc
Im not saying you are not allowed to enjoy them. Just that Ubislop can keep churning out uninspired slop because you keep buying them
ubisoft? oh god, and no i do not watch asmongold, i do not like him
any company thats willing to take advantage of the stupidest among us are Irredeemable in my eyes
Listen man you can call it slop...but it's fun. So I don't really care how much it's slop. I don't play them for accuracy or perfection or even story. It's fun to run around and kill move people and feel like a badass. most people like it.
It also feels that npcs have much better stability.
Am I doing something wrong?
for me, the new assassin creed games are slop because its barely about being a stealthy assasin anymore in some of the new games
vulnerable people, i mean you know some people actually think those assassins' creeds play GOOD? it's wild how standards have dropped
lol you really shouldn't read up on capitalism, fast fashion, or really any modern practice of how companies make money. Keeping people stupid and addicted to the shittiest quality replacable thing is kinda...the thing rn.
You could get so much better games if you stopped buying every game and forced them to actually do something good
i doubt ubisoft cares^^
If people stop consuming product they will
I literally paid $17 and not $70 for ac shadows using ubisoft+. I played it. I enjoyed it. I don't go into AC games expecting perfection. it was and is a good game.
there will always be people who buy their stuff and plus they are already rich
yeah guess what, I don't buy into any of it. I'm a guy with standards no streaming services no modern consoles no Smart Tvs no amazon none of that bs
Cool. You can do that. I'll enjoy my slop lol.
it's worth committing to because it shouldnt be "the thing rn"
If that what you want then go ahead. But you could make them actually improve
It's literally my own enjoyment. I'm not like doomscrolling or something, I enjoy the games that you call slop lol.
yeah im honestly more in favor of johns opinion even tho i hate ubisoft and the new AC games, hes allowed to enjoy AC Shadows
you can enjoy whatever, doesn't make it not crap
Also, people can enjoy other things too. I like the AC games for a different reason than I like, say, Half Sword. Or Schedule 1. Or Ghost of Tsushima, Octopath Traveler, etc.
or at the very least extremely uncreative and actively contributing the poor state of modern gaming
you're a very small minority when it comes to those that don't enjoy the AC games. AC Shadows was the 2nd best selling AC game of all time. 1st was Valhalla. Keep calling it Ubislop while they keep making billion dollar releases.
I have repeatedly said he is allowed to. But also that you could Ubisoft to improve by speaking with your wallet
octopath? yeah lol okay dude
yeah but hes clearly stated hes satisfied with his purchase so why dig any further
Oh what do you not like that game either lol
egg
somethings quality isn't dependent on how well it sells, unless you seriously believe taylor swift is gods gift to music
shutup I'm not an egg
i am.
yeah but for different reasons, Square Enix just doesnt try very hard anymore and havent for a while, Ubisoft never tried lol
i agree with this point
What a bad game.
if the game didnt have yasuke it would be good.
i disagree, yasuke is awesome it'd be good if it didn't play like a million other games
And the second one...it's bad too. Like you're allowed to call games slop but it's just silly to be such an unsatisfied entitled gamer.
i dont play assasins creed to be a lumbering idiot.
MY PUCKER WAS SO TIGHT THE ENTRE TIME. ADRENALINE RUSH HOLY.
it mean it might be a bit forced but honestly i dont have a problem with a black samurai in a fictional AC game, thats pretty cool
dude i dont need 10k people to tell me how to think about something, I can make my own thoughts you should try lol
Be happier. Quit engulfing yourself in misery with other people that use such terms as "Ubislop". Play games that you like. Ignore ones you don't.
its not that hhes black or anything i just dont think big burly hulky dude fits in a ssleek social assasination type of thing idk
okay yeah that i agree with especially since hes made out to be a warrior not an assassin, it just doesnt fit the title
unfortunate theres been a lumbering idiot in every game ever since the ps4 came out
to true it hurts
i swear willie has no fight or flight response, he is just defaulted on fight and so has no adrenaline and that is why every time he tries to stand up he acts like he just woke up from a 3 year coma
Yasuke fits perfectly imo. He's half real, half not. More myth than man. A hulk in a land of short people. Of course they'd let you play a samurai in a AC game set in Japan. If you don't like him, you can play through 99% of the game as Naoe
i wouldnt have anything against a shinobi or a stealthy samurai but hes legit made out to be slow and big and a warrior
if i wished to be samurai id play ghost of tsushima
You can literally play through the entire game as Naoe except for short scenes as Yasuke. You people have never played the game if you're complaining about this lol.
i love GOT
didn't play it, didn't really care to. A million people can say anything is good doesn't matter if I think its crap (ie marvel is the biggest thing ever but those movies fuckin blow, yknow what i mean?)
unfortunate that game forces you to be an assassin
yea i wish they developed muh honor route a bit more in GoT
Naoe has a really basic vibe and basic story and personally as a man i'd rather play as a man, and thats just for immersion but thats probably just me, i dont really have anything against women in games to be clear
Of course you didn't play it. But you'll devote your time to shit talking a game you've never played because people have told you it's bad without you making your own opinion of it. So who's the one actually making their own thoughts?
la la la la i dont listen to eggs
i didnt say anything about the second one because i didnt play it
EGG YOU WILL LIISTEN TO THE EGG YOU WILL WORSHIP THE EGG YOU WILL BECOME ONE WITHH THE EGG THEE EGG IS ETERNAL THE EGG IS EVERYTHHIGN
this current chat doesn't look half sword related to me honestly
yeah true lol
haf smord
i played the first one lol, you really wanted to latch on to the easy gotcha huh?
Ubi Sword
Assassins Creed: Willie
It's not. I am engaged in a heated battle against Unsatisfied Gamers™
Did you play AC Shadows? Cause honestly that's what I was referring to in that. But it really doesn't matter.
I'm satisfied just not by things releasing these days, It's just a very different culture
I HATE PLANCONS
idk if it seems like i won this one lads might be bad news
nope, dont have a ps5. I was talking about valhalla, oddessy, and origins . I think yasukes cool Afro Samurai is like the best show ever
Bring back half sword chat
no im interested in this argument, keep yapping please
i wish ac shadows had a afro samurai/samurai champloo kinda vibe to it
Ubisoft WOULD be cool if they just made good things. But alas
gotta say i've been having a lot of fun in farcry 4 but theres been so many issues and bugs its actually crazy
I just think there's a million games out there and to surround yourself with all this rage and negativity about new releases being bad is just silly. It's self-defeating. Go play something. Quit complaining about Ubisoft. They are clearly making games people enjoy. Are they flawed? Yeah absolutely.
the afro samurai and samurai champloo games both werent that great though, Ironically
tbh they kinda made farcry 3 and said yup thhis is what we are doing for the next ten years
they had games?
arent u the guy who was complaining about exanima here earlier
far cry 3 was alright, I liked 4 more tbh
exanima is great....
yeah, samurai champloos was made by suda51s team on the ps2 and the Afro Samurai games are all on ps3 i think but i dont really know who made them
thanks ill have to eemulate them and check em out
my biggest problem with farcry 4 was the music playing on the radio, IT ANNOYS ME SO MUCH I HATE THAT MUSIC, i mean i know i can turn it off but still lol
he might be flying in a second
i can like things and complain about other things at the same time, I have enough room in my brain to handle multiple emotions at once i promise
exanima is great. he was just doing what he's telling us not to do right now
Yes. A game I specifically said I once expressed great hope for, but now that hope is thrashed and I believe the devs are simply making diary posts on steam to milk the game and not admit it's never going to be updated again after over a decade in early access. It's much different considering I bought into the game, enjoy the game itself, and never did actually shit on the games mechanics.
rip willie he will be missed
and it may be hard to believe but I actually like critical discussion Just As Much as positive discussion
i asked this question in the wrong chat lmfao
anyway
when you beat the final golden guy in ultimate challenge
are you supposed to be able to play as said golden armor
last time i did it, it sorta just sent me on my way and gave me nothin
tbh i do actually agree with this i check the steam page every monnth or so annd its literally just diary updates
same i sit at home most of the time so its funny to get into heated arguement
i don't see how it's any different. ubisoft has been making mid games for as long as exanima has been pushing out yearly updates. it's just complaining to complain it doesn't change any of it
Shoebody do is a double edged sword
all 3 of them are just alright, but the samurai champloo one Looks really cool. both afro samurai ones are just kinda normal 3rd person action games with a few cool moves but they were really boring from what i remember
didnt ubisoft literally make UNO UHNPLAYABLE on xbox

I love bollywood, i live in a part of america with a lot of indian dudes so honestly I just got used to it forever ago. I recommend their movies to everyone they're super underrated
Because it is recognized by the universe itself
I'm listening to it on repeat while decapitating people
No you gotta headbutt people wtf
I am getting filtered by polearms constantly.
The AI got much better with stabbing since playtest imo
It would be hubris to assume I could shoebody do someone like that myself
withh a longsword i find holding a high gaurd on the opposite side they hold the polearm and swinging down across to meet theeir swing can work very well in putting you into a good position to just end a fight outright at the start of it
Watching Shobody Bop to me, literally feels like reading a 400 page progression fantasy novel and compressing it into a less than 3 minute package.
I just get annoyed by the accent (which is mostly my fault) cause i used to do an impression of one all the time when i was younger and now it pisses me off lol
Ok, I will try
what in the fuck is this fever dream and why am i only now being exposed to it
wtf is that flick
For you.
flick?
drue lanlois is a king, Dudes of Hazmat and everything from Bold Sabers like the best shit on the internet
head flick. Surely that's how the head disappeared
open up a can of whoop ass
Not quite my tempo
the blade stuck in neck and just kinda popped off his head when i wennt to pull the sword out and back into resting
took me fuckin forever to remember his musician name
huh
this is art
Anyways gotta blast guys nice seeing you halfsword chat. Hope to start some more arguments and off topic topics soon. Keep uh, swording in half. People that is. Swording people in half.
why thhe fuck cant my nnearly 5k quid pc run fucking halfsword on epic
I just dont understand the body balance.
Whenever enemy kicks me, its karate like move that sends me flying.
But when I try to kick someone, there is 50% chance I will just loose balance and bye bye
Anyways before I truly leave, I wish to show you something beautiful. You can BREAK KNEES WITH KICKS.
cronchh
First person my beloved.
I took your criticism
lmao
large candlestick is best weponn
Rel
how do you save a file?
Rember when it was so bugged and funny back in the past
check pins
why is the boss with the sycthe so hard??
Real best weapon is the paddles in spoilance, they do some nasty damage.
Finally someone who recognize real
bro that's the easiest boss for me idk
drop yiour weepon run into hhim kick and punch and throw him to floor, scythe cant do sshit when you get up inside of thhe man....
Am I tweaking or is the peasant champion kinda insane dude
Scythe has always been insane
get the pitchfork and charge at him
When I got to the scythe I beat him real quick
Just shoved his scythe away and kicked him to death
his swings fly like an overloaded bus hes hard because of the damage and reach
i still get fatal crash in ultimate challenge :V
The peasant axe feels sharper than the soldier 2h axe since the handling patch imo. Might just be because the soldier+ enemies are armored but whenever I get a clean hit it feels way more blunt than it used to.
but its tbh easy to avoid his attacks
YOU GOTTA GET INSIDE OF THE MAN, INSIDE!
i cant seem to find any of the sav files any help?
I will do what I must..
Make sure you’re actually in appdata -> Local
it is ez
not my clip i just think this if fucking awesome
If only that landed in your shoulder 😭
does the trainer mod work with this version of the game?
Bonk
lol
That's meme material
why can't i change the dam weapon
You changed the weapons too much or you pressed go to main menu
i just launched game..
I think you can open the settings menu to reset it
Well you quit the game to do that so....
It's still technically retur ing to the main menu
anyways chat what is a good weapon for this tier, im literally stuck in it
I found anything two-handed is best to kill him.
hoe and pitchfork are the best weapons to fuck him up
i .... am Willie
Steel fists are brutal against bare Willies
the commoner one is so much worse
how did you get this to work?
Dude the bop is haunting me, I didn't add this in post
A bug with switching between gauntlet and freeplay, no idea how it happens and i can't replicate it.
I killed him first try
and then every other time after that I get chopped to pieces
i'll get very lightly tapped and then immediately fall over and get beaten to death (probably a skill issue)
GOD FUCKIGN DAMNIT I FUCKING HATE PLACKON A PICAN
FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT
FUCKING GODDAMN ARMOR-PIERCING 50 CAL SPIKE
WHAT THE FUCK
sorry i died at knight tier
no, it's more like 7.62x51 AP.
the .50 cal is a lance
I CANT FUCKING TAKE THIS MAN, I"M AT THE BARON AND SUDDENLY MY RIGHT ARM WENT COMPLETELY STIFF
will we ever get 12-13th century maile armor
not broken, but paralyzed. its gonna cost me the fuckin match after like fucking 30 minutes of trying im right here and a bugs gonna cost me
THIS FUCKING SUCKS SO MUCH i cant handle it man i have work and class man im stressed out this is meant to be FUN cmon what the fuckkkk
Anyone have a strategy for the commoner champion ? He just obliterates me if I try to get close ...
AND MY LEG WHATS GOING ON DAWG UGHHHHHHHHHHH
whys the game feel much more harder today
funny
I wish i recorded it but last night while playing i stabbed a guy with a sword and it got stuck so i let go of the sword and it launched the guy up and over the stone areana wall
i wish that the 3rd boss would not one shot me everytime i breathe
You you fake an attack to bait him then when his weapon is out the way go for a strike?
ive tried everything
this is so fucking stupid man, i cant win!
well well well
There's only one way to defeat the bosses easily, you're just going to have to use a ranged weapon and just stab them when there's an open gap
sort of embarrassing ending lol but like cmon my limbs are all locking its fucking impossible
My strategy with the commoner champion was just sprint at him with a longsword and try to thrust it thru his chest before he gets a chance to swing ...
But for the life of me I just can't get it today-
you could have grabbed him when he fall
I would have grappled his head with that left hand while he was on the ground
i literally couldnt, see my left arm bugging? that was me trying my very hardest because i really didnt expect him to trip over my head
Weird
Anyway, I think they need to fix one shot weapons like pitchforks and long ranged stabbing weapons. It really makes the game unfun when you just die
and he basically has me stun locked on the fucking ground because the balance is so fucked that my arm being paralyzed like that makes my guy tilt forward no matter what, so whenever i get up i just fall down again
and i mean you think picking up weapons is fucked up normally? try doing it with half a second constantly falling over
FUCK i just have to give up this is SHIT MAN
I still find the game fun and challenging
Im currently working on improving skills and doing a long sword gauntlet this time around
good weapon for knight tier?
guys how to save file after getting to ultimate challage? I dont wanna restart if i die
I'm just glad they have a free mode where I can just beat dudes up.
Same question
item picking is a mess
Was listening to a stream at the time
the ultimate challenge runs entirely on rng
and also whats witht he militia class in ultimate challenge always pushing you down
If you are on the ground you are easier to kill
how did you choose your opponent?
It was a bug with character selection
how much VRAM i need to play half sword?
its so lovelyw hen ultimate challenge spanws in 2 spear guys
is the playtest not playable anymore?
Demo is up and updated
oh god i just bisected someone and he was alive and screaming like hell for 2 minutes
i got to baron and half sword fatal errored
Base
absolute cinema amazing update
where is update? in demo version or in playtest?
nevermind that he is still alive and screaming but he just gave in after 2 minutes
question since when could u go into fistplay with full body armor ??
the new shorter abyss sucks, higher tiers are impossible to recover coz it puts you up against armoured knights with a pitchfork and maybe a kettle/armguards
not enough time to get actual equipment for the boss either
Yes but the skill issue children from tiktok who begged for it to be shorter normally don't get to higher tiers
Ideally you want to knock him to the ground and then keep him down with hits to the face -- despite his armor he'll eventually start bleeding and soon or later he'll die
If you don't though, you have to aim for the head. There's three kinds of stats for willies: health, stamina and another that's like, how conscious willies are; health and stamina can regenerate but consciousness doesn't so the more you smack the baron in the head, the increasingly less steady he'll become
Skill iss- 
This bug is known
the ultimate challenge is so fuckin hard man
Tis a Bug just reselect the class you want to play as
Well yeah, it's the ultimate challenge
good gbug
There's also a bug where you can fight beggars as the baron
Real I have never experienced anger as i have playing that with no slider adjustments
Select baron, start fight, alt+f4, start again and on the main menu you'll be a baron but the game doesn't realize this and puts you back at the bottom tier
You forgot that you can only use the barons weapon in Carnage mode whilst the beggars have knives, so you can just poleaxe them in carnage mode
and once you're bored of the poleaxe you can throw it away, unsheathe something else and CTRL+L with the trainer mod and the next fight you'll be holding that weapon instead of the poleaxe (Which will be gone though, until you select a new baron at the main menu)
Luck based
and once you're ascended you will understand that hell is now as hell will always be, has always been
ultimate challenge is only hard because of dogshit weapons change my mind
i reckon a fight to the death mode wouldnt go amiss
no giving up, even severed limbs dont stop the fight
fight ends when only one person is still breathing
u yk how can i get it consistent
i dont think necks are supposed to do that
Thanks for the dagger and buckler time to fight a billhook and a guy with a shield 🥹
its so rng based bro
The ultimate luck test
the ultimate skill test actually
I got so lucky with shit once, got to baron and then the game crashed
if you cant kill the baron with only a dagger then you dont deserve to play as him
Dont cap me you adjusted sliders. We all did
how am i supposed to beat spears with short weapons i cant even rush
I havent gotten to that
apply physics to the spears (aka swat them away)
and then i get stabbed anyway because fuck me
Ermmmm acctuallyy its a skill test 🥹
Easy on paper then you get stabbed, especially the little short spears annoying as hell
You stay back, swipe it away, and run in when and only when you have an opening.
Lemme find a video of two dudes demonstrating this irl.
I know "skill issue" is a funny thing and all but half-sword really is the kinda game where you just get better over time as you grow more comfortable with the controls and the game mechanics
look at him, hes so proud
wheres the skill in a weapon rolling simulator

The new update really fucked with my understanding of controls
like how is this fair WHY IS THE AXE A TIER 1 WEAPON
Something feels off and I cant really put it in worda
The polearm and pitchfork swing is much slower now
Fighting against the spear, with various types of sword (and a knife).
It's like when you swing a inflatable sword. Blade lacks behind while you swat the air like a moron
knock the weapon away, ideally downwards irl so you can pin it to the floor
i took on a guy with a 2H spear using a round shield and seax last week and the main thing was keep that spear pinned
Great way to get stabbed In the legs or stomach
Yeah but its half sword and usually the jank bounces the spear into your arm
screw this im turning npc damage all the way up if i get oneshotted they should too
one of us is a reenactor, and one of us isnt
Not realllyyy
wow really? I was talking about the game but cool story I didn't ask for
salty because wrong
Its more game jank than technique but the jank has its charm id say
Anyone know where the pics you take in-game get stored?
in the game steam folder under screenshots
I js need 2 git gud
i dont see these guys getting stabbed
Not rlly just saying your "historical reenactments" don't always work in the game because the physics jank out
yeah but you didnt say that, did you? you just said i was wrong
does learning historical techniques actually help you in the game
To a degree the physics and jank hold you back alot
I use smth like this for all spears but against a goedendag is fucking impossible
Knowing the historical techniques is better than not knowing the historical techniques when playing
yeah that makes sense, i saw a video on youtube of some guy using pure historical techniques and it seemed somewhat good
Why cant i pick a fraction to play gauntlet mode?
Spikes usually just push right thru
With those, you kinda wanna get your weapons hooked together and wrestle control over it, and just kick them or if you have a shield or dagger in the offhand, attempt to attack them with that.
willie, more like wheely amirite?
i feel like the beggar king shouldn't scream or have any voice lines, he feels like a silent monster type dude
how the fuck do you get horizontal sensitivity for that???
been trying to roundhouse for so long and i have no clue how to do it!!
Ive pulled it off a few other times but occaisonally the noodle arms fail me
I love it when I stab a dude with a pitchfork and he proceeds to spin forever generating infinite energy.
Hes just a big willie who got lucky in spoilance
Picking up a weapon from the buggy corpses and being flung into space
i think it would be cool if the game had some more narrative when it releases, the bosses already feel like they've got personality despite just being willies with different weapons and gear
In the beginning willie existed
like the commoner boss gives me dark mentor vibes like snape from harry potter or somethin, plus he always seems to spare me when i surrender unlike the beggar boss who 90% of the time just decapitates me while i'm on the ground
Willie is all
All is wille
Willie is love
Willie is life
Without willie, all things wouldn't willie.
Thanks
can someone explain the lack of stabbing or is it a bug? i get that i missed a couple, but i definitely hit a lot of them
How can I reset my progress?
not sure why that didnt just embed, but oh well
Gauntlet mode resets your progress
it needs to be an mp4 i believe
I’ve reached the ultimate challenge and die but it still won’t reset, am I missing something?
how to play playtest?
there is no playtest anymore, download the demo from the steam page
it got merged with demo
If you die in the ultimate challenge you still get to have it unlocked
ahhh the whole official game is now merged?
ive just changed the settings
Yeah but like how do I reset everything?
Beating the Baron
iunno what you mean it's an mkv file not an mp4
It would be cool if it was a pvp chivalry/mordhau esque game lol
i mean on obs
Got it thanks
bro this fatal error crash is happening more and more and it only appears in the middle of the ultimate challange someone please help i have tried to use the lowest gore idk why it keeps doing this
demo isnt loading ??
Same bro
i've come to a conclusion, the great challenge final stage is not possible without the game having a stroke and crashing
just lower the graphics settings and use dx 11
somewhat but it does make you look cooler
cooked
already on dx 11 and medium graphics man
halfsword keeps on crashing on me
Is progress supposed to reset? After defeating the golden knight in insane challenge, Everything just resets the save file resets and after reopening the game I have to start as a beggar again. Why?
also idk how I beat 2h spears tbh, just hope that the thrust bounces off fsr lol
iunno man
lowest graphics possible and it still crashes that aint the issue bru
yeah at the last stage it happens to me too
or is it a bug?
my pc can handle buhurts and shit on high but for some reason when 3 guys spawn in the final challenge the game just kills itself
anyone else having problems with the sprint?
yeah that happens for some reason
no long range weapon? no problem you got long legs
Can someone respond to that? Idk if it's a bug or waht
most people havent beaten it since it just keeps on crashing so most likely i dont know
https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/k3ktycE8mxT4Jupcr?invite=cr-MSxyRlQsMTAyNzY5ODA1
I think i just did a finisher on this guy 💀
Watch Otočit,popravit. and millions of other Half Sword videos captured using Medal.
I mean I bet him and then progress files (gauntlet) just resets
never happened to me because i dont know why that happens i havent beaten it
oh
like srsly since today my character just randomly stops sprinting
you been having the same problem?
I have the same thing, I try to run from 3 squires just chasing me and my willie just walks like if he was watching the lake
yup literally exact same thing happens to me I lose half my carnage matches bc of it haha
Especially when I pick up a weapon
how
I beat the final on high graphics and high fps what are you guys running?
it happens sometimes with any class
the last one while the game still crashes
any way I can raise the chances of it happening?
Is this happening if you resart the game? There have been some locomotion bugs that only persist in the session they started.
yo wouldnt it be cool to have blood on your hands from beating the living shit out of the opponent?
i thought that was already a thing
@fallow stone it's a bug #photography📷 message
idk i think sometimes blood will come on the hands, but not neccessarily from the blood of punches
By showing him who's the boss
maybe there is blood but only your own blood
yeh
what happens after you beat the ultimate challange?
We still crashing when doing fisticuffs with gauntlets on huh?
weeeee neeeed moreeee grueeeeling sooundssss
it's not happening anymore but I haven't restarted since noticing
bruh i got a fatal error why
Did your head fall off?
sigмa
bro its not crashing cuz our pcs cant handle it there is something with the game cuz i can play any other game on ultra graphics without issues but with the lowest graphics and gore on half sword still crashes out of nowhere
no i was in ultimate challenge and after 2 spawned game just boom
someone know how to get infinite stamina in slow mode
mods prob
mods, use either the inf stamina setting in half sword enhancer or invunerability in massclowns trainer mod.
thanks
what happens after you beat the ultimate challange?
you get the baron
Beggar champion keeps kicking my ass man
i beat the final boss but before i pressed G my game crashed and im back on beggar
close range with him and you will be good
Yeah I think I broke Willies neck that time
can someone explain like im an idiot why stabbing only seems to work when it wants to now?
So basically, idk
hopefully they fix this, gets really frustrating sometimes
janky hitbox and speed
make sure your launch option is on dx11, and turn gore off if youre doing ultimate challenge
is there a way of not playing this gauntlet mode i just wanna mess about in armour
yeah free mode
how do i do that settings ?
most games are easier/better with higher fps
kinda how gaming has worked since it began lol
no.
you click this Free Mode button
oh 😂 should get some glasses
why do i keep getting fatal error in ultimate challenge
BRUUUHBRUUUH
everyone's getting that
RAAAAAGH
it only happens when i have the best build ever
You should've learned to pary the game files
yeah my bad man
well i did it it worked for another 10 minutes before fatal error
Can someone explain the Abyss to me what does it do?
progress
original version of demo before the update when u die in gauntlet mode u get teleported to there and can get ur rank back by killing the boss in there
ohh alr
takes you to the Abyss mode
if you go to https://discord.com/channels/1043854763189600337/1359239086447136839 and send your issue in, it'll be resolved soon
why do these dudes like live for a good 3 seconds after i press the killswitch on them? by that i meant like stabbing them in the brain
It's a last chance if you're in gauntlet. If you're in free mode it's basically just and endless run, like Ultimate Challenge. Main difference is that you will recover from nonfatal wounds excluding severed limbs
Ty
Imagine recovering from severed limbs though...
is the final boss in the ultimate challenge is the gold mf?
is there a yt channel about this game with techniques and tutorials or is this game brand new?
I mean, if it doesn't outright kill you you can just keep going. I thugged it out with one arm on one for a bit.
theres gotta be a mod for that someday
yeah ik, im talking abt how it would be cool to see an arm regenerate flesh and bone over time, obviously not realistic at all
just search hema techniques and stances dude
Not really, it's a self-taught kind of system. If I can give you any pointers it would be to learn when to take it slow and when to absolutely clobber them before they get a word in.
man people are good at using weapons, i just flail around until they die or i die 😭
well you can do basically everything except that fancy move where you rotate your wrist and hit your opponent
played abyss and got too 2900 points till i died
Most of the time I run straight into them grab and beat the shit out of them like mike tyson, them hands moving fast
WHY DOES WILLIE COLLAPSE AT THE SLIGHEST BREEZE NOW
honestly they should like add a vital spot in the chest like the heart so when you stab em they immediately die
fart sword
shut up
wHy iS iT wHiTe 😂
I need some smaller bucklers
how long is the ultimate challenge
1 billion years
I WON!!!
4-5 centimetres
Baron is hardest
who is baron
willie how do i become like you
what the fuck are these abyss spawns why are guys spawning behind me as soon as i finish champion fights insta killing me from behind
im trying to kill him to get his stuff but he doesn't die
oh nvm i can get it from main menu 😂
I'm a commoner now🔥
yo, stupid question, but is multiplayer on the cards at all?
why does your character fall down from a slight breeze and take 3x longer to stand up now
how did it happen
in that case im praying on their success
If you want multiplayer better mod it yourself
don't hold your breath, it'd probably be quite a long time if it ever happens
I'll never not be impressed by the fact that femoral cuts are lethal
femoral?
Holy two seconds of research batman
switched to free mode, it was on fist tier, so i put baron and quickly pressed play, it showed fist fights like im in tier one
sigмas are not femoral
I really wanna see blood 2.0, or whatever the latest gore stuff theyve been working on, be implemented into the playtest
slow mode destroys the weak and wicked
This:
do you think the first boss stole the helmet from that boss with full armour but without a helmet?
when willl it be ready
hoping its whats coming in the end of year release
let's say it is
some of these images stray back all the way back to 2023
dude i am still stuck on this scythe dude... ri[p
Aye, but ill still hold out hope for early access
I just stepped in and chopped off his leg with my axe
Im chalked when I go to the abyss at a high rank. I get the 20fps and ganged up by multiple combatants
HOW DUDE... I havent even gotten close to the guy in hours, he swings so fast and his range is HUGE. i've tried to follow what other people suggest but its not happening. the wooden part of his scythe is just as deadly as the sharp part
I got really lucky
if hes in full body tungsten hes gonna have a hard time getting anywhere
bro you need to send a clip or something, that guy has got to be the easiest boss in existence
ill do it, ill get a clip if you want
Can somebody explain me how tf this happened
oh yeah for sure, but he aint taking a single step without shattering his entire skeletal system
reckon controller support will happen?
lol do it
I think you can already use controller
HAHA i stareted the clip and the dude chopped himsown hand off
oh my
does the game keep crashing for anyone else?
oh sick
yes
I got to the spike Pike guy
I hate on polearm people
Try stabbing him with the fork
And he knocked me to the ground and then absolutely smashed my face in
L poleaxe supremacy
I respect the poleaxe (just nothing else)
polehammers 💪
Okay I just hate spears and forks and everything alike
i dont want to just switch to the best weapon to be able to beat the game...
I'm just now geting to play the update, and it says "Militia Unlocked" but then it isn't unlocked and when I try to fight again, i'm now facing armored oponents and have none?
you have to choose a faction on the right side of the screen
^
I just punched someone so hard in the face they went airborne
Also, I find that if you use an actual two handed sword technique of slow but steady wide swings constantly, it usually works!
It's quite funny actually
Currently trying to beat gauntlet unarmed (using the beggar tier only) and the shields are such a pain!!!
Is game good with controller
I didn't even know it had controller support
It does i use it and its good but like idk if im getting the full experience with it
sigмa
Cuz ik u can like do cool stuff with computer controls but idk abt controller
@flint crescent how the hell did your sigмa get censored but mine doesn't?
Wacky font
Bro this scythe boss just TOUCHED me and split me in half
Same
nah its goated
yeah but your "sigмa" seems to have been censored in #🧠rot even though it's the exact same format and lettering
Games good just learn to improvise
I never got past the 3rd boss but I love this game especially to chop them into pieces after winning
anyone else strugglin with movement controls?
thrusting maneuvers work well against that one, i usually do it with a longsword
it feels like my dude just instantly stops running as soon as i get near someone
Idk rlly how to thrust on controller
idk click the attack button twice maybe
Is it playable on controller?
ik with keyboard you hold alt, take a peek at keybinds?
Yes i do on xbox controller
Dosent say what exactly but ill try what it says
tbf it's still a demo rn
See a demo has bugs is the thing u act like they can control a bug lol yes they can fix it but how would they know to give ur status back when u could be lying /begging for it so just play it again lol
kinda, i haven't played it on a gamepad for awhile but i think it only has partial controller support, you just have to bind some buttons manually.
Game is not absolute ass pipe down
All buttons do work minus the continue key and moving the mouse to select a mode
They made free mode everything minus last class
this is gonna take a while...
even opening the inventory and switching hands?
those knifes that are smaller than my middle finger that i am about to give them are so pointless, im better off without a weapon
Yes x is to switch hands and idr how to get to ur inv but i have done it before
Ur talking the weird wheel thing with the 5 slots?
yeah, i assume first person also is there too?
full controller support is planned fyi 
Being the baron and just punching people is great ❤️
I dont think inv or first is an option without computer input honestyly
can you show a clip of doing this?
Okay I just did something that felt like it belonged in some sort of fight choreography. It's 3 seconds cause uh, nothing cool happened after.
Imagine not using WASD lol
can do, hold on
https://www.pcgamesn.com/half-sword/steam-update
Halfsword got mentioned in a very positive way
This was a good article
it feels like i must be missing something if some people can fist fight armoured enemies and i get wrecked by scythe guy every time
Check this sweet...block? It's like a star wars move.
It popped up on my Google news feed randomly 
Mine too!
I
react you good sir
Is there a good way to kill thr dude with scythe
I like to wait til he swings, then try to get up on him and pin his scythe down somehow with your weapon.
just get in his range when he's not attacking then kill him
Long two handed weapon works. Get a good axe swing in
pitchfork
I try to stay on his left side (your right when facing him) because if you stay on the left side of his scythe, it's hard for him to hit you.
any help with fatal errors?
Try swapping the DX setting in your game settings.
sometimes helps
I always go for the left, because I always swing to the right
I always just get knocked over or run out of stamina tho...
Doesn't always work.
im on 12 and it helped a lil,but i still get too many,i cant get past ultimate challange
Imma try pitchfork this run but ik axe does wonders cuz thats wat i usually used to kill him
Yehh I find the way the scytheboss attacks in a very predictable pattern
just get close to scythe boss,or stab him with pitchfork
It always happens after a fight against 3 willies after you kill one, right?
Try turning off blood in game settings for the ultimate challenge— they worked on the crashes but its not perfected yet.
the scythe boss in the abyss feels like an actual threat unlike the scythe dude in gauntlet
some people have recommended turning blood off for the Ultimate Challenge fight as a temporary fix
I am absolutely loving this billhook thing. It's so fun swinging it around swapping hands.
Then again, old scythe was WAYY too sharp lol
We shouldn't need to turn it off tho I mean they are pushing new stuff every day which is great but the crahses are their biggest issue
lol yeah
I think our new guy deserves a helmet or bevor tho
Honor our old reaper
I remember old scythe instantly splitting guys in half
I got split in half oop
The axe is great
our new guy lacks the aura of the old sychte guy, hes a cheap knockoff that has no staying power
ah this bug is actually really consistent
@mighty nexus
ok i will reduce gore to none so it doesnt eroor
need my old abyss bosses back they were iconic
Like I said, it's a temporary fix. The past two updates addressed this crashing issue and it has helped for a good majority of people. It's a work in progress demo— gotta take things one step at a time and get feedback from updates to see who is still being affected and why
these new ones just lack all the aura(excepts the beggar tier one)
I know it's probably not intentional, but it feels like some eastern martial arts type shit lol.
bro the commoner boss has aura
yo chat how do you save the files,
Check the pins
the one with the big sword? id say the old fencer outclassed him
Speaking of honoring, I like how the midrange boss is one of the most prolific half sword youtubers
we gone from "DEVS PLEASE ADD GORE" to "yeah i personally turn off blood and gore, it takes off WAYYY too much performance"
Peasant boss is a vibe too
oh aight
why playtest gone
honestly i didn't play much of the old abyss so iunno
is there a mod that can fix the fact that i die from being stabbed in the shoulder? shit is pissing me off
Check the top of #faq !
i remember killing the fencer for the first time, trying to disembowel him and getting jumped by his goons
New build
wont bore you with the whole thing, but it HEAVILY relies on the other Willies doing the work for me lol, would be very hard to beat em on my own
I fucks with beggar boss. The Axeman 🗣️

it was so much fun, in my humble opinion better than the new abyss. the bosses were iconic
The fencer's sword was terrifyingly sharp in the demo
yeah he's kinda chill, i usually don't disembowel him too much after i defeat him
the beggar boss is the only one who made me rage like the old ones
crazy how those same people don't realize how many resources does blood take in and additional gore and bits
Even the stupid stances you do when shit goes wrong looks like you're just adding flair to the moves. Willie is learning Bojutsu lol
beggar boss feels like bane from batman
He is quite the intimidating Willie.
also have the double handed axes gotten sharper?
The woodcutting axe is definitely sharper than it was in the playtest
Bruh i just got split in half by a dude with war machete and shield from commoner class fml
I personally do NOT like the guy in the all black padded set with a big greatsword.
remember in the old demo you had to get a lucky hack at the limb to get fly off
Willie just has aura, anything he does is purposeful
personally I think it should be duller. It gave the woodcutting axe charm.
Beggar boss is Arnold Schwarzenegger in a helmet
both peasant axes should be pretty dang dull. Ideally like 1/3 of a sword.
when is willie gonna be able to shove a billhook in his mouth, armpits, legpits, and shove a spear up his ass
beggar boss the only one id put on the same terrifying tier as the axeman and reaper when you first meet them
anyone feel like the AI don't take damage like we do? I can stab them 15 times in their limbs and gut and they barely stumble, let alone drop their weapon, but one smack on my shoulder makes my character fall and drop his weapon
^
"give me your clothes"
omg goedendag so op pls nerf
It's inconsistent sometimes. I've had a moment where i was able to still fight with my arm cut off lol
noticing my character can't even walk properly in the middle of the arena for the final gauntlet challenge
yall remember the minion spam that the mid tier bosses used to do? had many times where i died from them and not from the boss itself
“Hasta la vista Willie”
thats why i put player damage at 0 and npc damage at 100 to even things out
how did a hammer do this
Does he seem to trip over an invisible wall??
honestly he doesn't have the same aura because you fight this dark reaper in the bowels of an unending abyss, beggar king's got style but his environment doesn't give him that much aura
I took this video without using any mod or cheat, dont ask me how because I dont want this patched out.
yeah it honestly feels fair that way
Yeah my character sometimes does not walk properly, and gets knocked over by any attack, including just touching the handle of an enemy's weapon
internal bleeding and then skinned the dude somehow
do hammers still pop heads btw? i remember that as a method to steal helmets in the old playtest
I finally beat the gauntlet and got baron!!!
i love how the embed keeps freezing on desktop and I have to go to mobile every single time I want to see these videos
i literally killed a willie with the pommel of my war hammer ( i wasnt halfswording or swinging the weapon at all)
no, it's just like he's walking in quicksand
