this is not it bro
i like game from abyss demo
I think to maximize sales $25-$30 seems like a reasonable sum. For an indie game it's a premium experience.
don't pirate from people you want to actually support
I didn't pay for a game last 2 years
I'm a train
That can't be stopped
Disrespectful on top of not being allowed in the server
I can guarantee nothing.
I can tell you that over 80% of all the votes in the poll said they would pay $20.
Broke behavior once again🤣
ik
oh
rip my wallet
BROKE PEOPLE ALERT.
BROKE PEOPLE ALERT.
you need to do a diabolical thing that is delete demo after release of early access
WAIT, will we paint the walls with the use of a character's arms, making use of the game's physics, or a simple toggle of colour?
I love you, This is great.
Yall need to get a job fr
deleting demo is gonna be the ultimate power move
rip me, im broke.
also if you want a tip
tail/fools guard parries = win
i got 5 digits in da checking 🔥🔥
you have to beat the blades in half sword more than blocking normally or they just blow through your parry
tail guard/waki no gamae is instant win
mods ban him hes saying the j word

EMPLOYMENT
Don't feed the trolls
😂😂😂
People got nothing better to do than be proud of being bums that’s crazy
kill me
20$ is not bad but steam conversion is fucked up for my country
During our pricing meeting I suggested $69 USD, everyone said "Nice".
i like doing stupidly open offensive guards because they feel cool
My stab was a glancing blow, call that an embed failure
ladies guard is awesome when you time it right
Yeah 🦍
where does the real game come ?
"At least it's Cheaper than Borderlands 4"
Mmm
They all become one big blur
when
shiiii i'd pay that much
im willing to bet borderlands 4 has such a shit launch its either A. put on gamepass within the first month or B. discount sale after week 1
it's about one hour of overtime or so
yeah but i wonder how much of people that voted for 20$ are actually gonna buy it with that price
my favorite remains the overhead guards
unbeatable
they're so good
This is still not 100% confirmed, but the plan has been to do regional pricing.
looking at this i can deduce there will be physics involved
pls set prices yourself don't use steam calculator
What if half sword was named fullsword
I mean you will. Everyone else we will see.
prices set by steam are fucked up
some real kendo activities right here
Is multiplayer ever coming to half sword
i posted a lady guard funny in footage
imo 20-30 usd and scale accordingly worldwide to adjust for income differences
Giving out coupon codes that doubles the price
Always, it is the fundamental premise of the game.
yesn't
30 usd is ok if it is full release
I love how everyone is trying to say a fair price when we only have the demo right now, wait till we see the additional content to judge how much you would pay maybe
born too late to explore the first 7 generations of consoles on release
born too soon to experience ready player one
born just in time to
i hope they add more voiceline variants
im gonna buy that's for sure
This is planned.
Same here
Sadly the blow wouldn't have connected, but it makes for a pretty screenshot. I'm wearing the helmet that breaks your first person
why willie screams cuckold?
can you make the french people lore accurate
(they sound like theyre constantly suppressing their gag reflex)
ON GOD
EVERY TIME I HEAR A FRENCH ACCENT ON A TUTORIAL ON HOW TO WORK ON MY CAR I IMMEDIATELY THINK OF THAT
We have some experts on the French dialect on the team.
ol school insult
also please make voicelines simple to mod i want to replace every taunt voiceline with the trevor "GO FUCK YOURSELF!!!"
❤️
I get what you mean, but I can judge by the demo because I value the time I've already spent in it more than the price I'll eventually pay for the full thing
but what it meant back then?
no idea what happened there
elbowed bro
i've bought baldur's gate 3 and kcd2 at full price but they have regional pricing, def would not have done that otherwise
this boss is tense as hell in abyss
EYYY LONG TIME NO SEE
im edging him with repeated thrusts to keep him defending
I agree in a sense, but still if you enjoy the demo enough to even consider paying. It would be worth waiting to see what in store in terms of content before deeming a purchase worthy or not, just my opinion tho
kcd2 is cheaper in usa than in my country 🙂
and praying he doesnt thrust at me with his big pole
i have no good counter to the guy
you have a longsword and some armor right
hallo
but if ican smack his big pole away i can probably get a quick thrust in
yes
only arm and helmet armour
that should do
and it isnt good against the spikes because he mangled an arm (it regeneraeted)
Just considering that standard games are trying to be sold at $80 that have way less enjoyment and replay ability than the demo of HS
see if you can afford a few pokes and go in close for a half sword kill
im trying to froce him to downwards thrust
so i can halfsword, counter, and then kick
bait him like how you see me do it
until he goes for a super committed swing
then just try to half sword and go in
la Lutte des Combattants
evil ass painting title for this sick scene of me having done a counter and shanking
im trying to keep close so he cant stick me
evne when i escaped the grapple, his arm was still dsiabled
so i could just cut an arm off an win the fight
greatsword is strong but i love the entwining capabilities of the deathstick
idk i think greatsword will still be good til plate armour
but by then ill have a pollace
pollaxe
keep the sword holstered and grab the death stick
monch cronch
Can you relate?
The Ambush
cant holster a greatsword
oh true
not really
i don't use greatsword so i forget
im the one using fists to crack his skull
P sure theyre planning on keeping it which is actually fire news for the poors
who wants one of my GNARLIEST half sword screenshots
i accidentally mangled the poor bastard with a felling axe
would.
my equipment got fucking WORSE dude
i didnt even get any chests this level
i just got a shittier helmet that actually elts me use first-person
what happened to the vc channels
gonna do thsi to you
:3
Rate my sword Style
Other clip
ah yes the Reality Slash
boundless willy confirmed, they were able to glitch the software
nvm
high street is wall
willy is atleast peak human striking strength
willy isnt even peak human durability
base willy is just peak human in all regards except speed and durability and intelligence
what about willie full power
if i open up a cheat software and give willie laser eyes
it doesnt count
'full power' willie is the baron
no no, i mean in game setting
set his damage taken to lowest
dont worry bro, im not even into power scaling, chill bro
im not toxic
ok
this footage shows that willie is capable of manipulating his own reality and glitching out the recording software with his strikes
however, these strikes cannot pierce willie armour
these boundless attacks cannot pierce the armour which is thusly boundless, giving the baron boundless durability
willies can damage armoured enemies with their fists
boundless striking strength
weapons give boundless attack potential
willie tier 0, Powered by my potato OBS studio
Other clip
Shit got me feeling like obi wan kenobi whenever i cut their hands off
holy shit we're gonna havea castle map?
ii think thats what the cabinet's for
or maybe theyll reskin abyss
There was one in the .io version of the game
ye thats what i based my guess of
examina 2.0
comes in
examina 2.0
leaves
My guess is that this cabinet will be in the throne room of a King/Emperor and he will be the final boss of the game.
I was gonna try examina but shit crashes immediately no matter what fixes i try lmfao so refunded it
MP guy who advocates for it constantly
mp guy when the physics based game with inherent jank goes mp
(something egregious will happen.)
i played enough beamng multiplayer to know it kind of doesn't end well
brain is so rotted they can't handle non live service battle pass filled multiplayer games
Yeah wtf happened.
I just played thru two medal of honor games from a decade ago for fun and it was great like
Dead game oh no
a game can be fun without multiplayer
For anyone interested, here's a reproduction of a late medieval tressior as featured in #work-in-progress today
See posts, photos and more on Facebook.
Well, I'll just send the photos
Since it would make you login.
Hate facebook.
k
i can't believe they made half sword cabinet into a real thing
Credit: Wood With History on Facebook
Think about how much this detail work would have cost in the 1450s
penis
True they just sitting there chiseling and shit
Yall remember smurf cat
Mfw I prefer offline single player experiences 
Idk
Can't say i do Samuel
Damn
You don't.
Clueless is really good at defense tbh he'll have advice
i feel like i can land hits and i have spacing down, i just can't really parry consistently
There's also the dodge option.
is it just me or is the commoner boss extremely OP
you mean because reach?
Yeah amongst other things
branding for this game:
"HALF SWORD, WE'LL FUCK WITH YOUR WILLIE"
When he has that sword and you hav no armor, he is indeed the hardest imo
Parrying is risky for everyone. Even Clueless probably only successfully parries less than 50% of the time.
reach is the name of the game when it comes to unarmored
But quite doable
just stab the commoner boss with a pitchfork
okay okay, so mostly just focus on spacing and timing
yep
parrying is not necessarily the go-to
Yupppp.
Eventually you'll get more comfortable with parries but theyre not exactly easy
and risky
It's hard to stab when the alt key mostly just makes me swing overhead instead of stabbing. He just idles my sword above my head xd
yeah, i have probably 100 hours total and they're still pretty tough
does the FOV play a huge role in how you percieve the game or does it not really matter that much? like is lower fov better?
Kingdom come dehydrated
thank you guys for the advice 😃
that's correct
the other 50% consist of 10% instant deaths and 40% me simply not going for the parry and just controlling distance
Yeah lol the instant deaths are quite amusing sometimes.
Thinking you have the parry but they juked you and now you have a sword in your neck.
sometimes you want to put on a bit of a show and go for consecutive parries
then a horrible tragic fate happens
dangerous game to play unless you're fighting in man at arms/veteran
I once hit the commoner boss in the arm with my sword thinking I did good, but in return he sliced my entire torso in half 🙂
that's why i find veteran clips to be WAY easier
gotta do it like this
Very few games makes my jaw drop but seeing your character get stabbed in the bollocks repeatedly is certainly something
My favorite guard is the Ox Guard
It's not really great as a "guard" but it really lines up slashes for you.
irl it's a very competent guard
bro that overhead is perfect, I really struggle with mine
but in here it's balls
the auto parry compromises ox/kasumi no kamae entirely
do this to practice overheads
It's especially good at abusing reach.
I did get lucky here in that he swing early and missed me though.
You can't fully do ox always anyways, sometimes the game is just like "no"
can you really call it luck or simply strategic superiority and exploiting a blunder on ai willie's part
can someone gimme left 4 dead 2 its 2 bucks plssssssss
Bit of both.
Bring back wrestling
Bro how do you like stick your sword out like that? I was holding alt etc but it was just brining it super low down in a pointy formation
your's is like halfway up and out
I couldn't parry shit
can someone gimme l4d2 plsss?
hahaha life ain't fair and the world is mean
bro it's like $1 on steam
2 actaully
buy it yourself it's $2
yikes dude
check this finisher
i would if i had the money
a good overhead is kind of just the answer to a LOT of things
Overheads and vertical slashes in general are THE answer to most things if you can do them correctly.
At least IRL.
it's funny until you are the person who dies
They work both as attacks and parries.
Since if you match the speed of your opponent or go slightly faster as they are attacking horizontally, you sword will come in contact with theirs always with vertical slashes.
Barring specific circumstances where they go above yours after you've attacked.
it's why kendo spams overheads irl
that's precisely why i do those quick overheads
it's what i do irl
i'm more well versed with kenjutsu/kendo
I just died in abyss cos of the scythe guy. I cut his arm off which led to him dropping it and then it cut my leg off when it wasn't even in his hand
where points used for refreshing your equipment always a thing?
yeah the uh...parry didn't work.
you are crazy good bro, I've got 6hrs in and I still struggle with the controls
The replayability is crazy for this game though
such is the nature of trying to fight the axe without gauntlets and arm armor
such is the nature of trying to fight the axe without gauntlets and arm armor
ftfy
true....
I hate bashing the polearms aside
it's so...inconsistent.
2h axe is easier to deal with
the easiest way is to dodge
the cooler way is to do what i do best
like 30 minutes for me
over 1000 for me
i just switch to my default commoner loadout, uptier him, and skip rounds until i fight the weapon i want
then i move on to the next weapon
day 1000000 on trying to beat halfsword's ultimate challenge
I usually deal with shield/1h axe wielders by exploiting distance and openings
30 minutes is before i give up on the stylish parries and brutally murder them with pure footwork
i time my sessions
😂
the one handed weapon wielders in general
they're bullying victims
literally impossible to lose to them on any grounds other than jank and skill issue
big fan of any stances that lets you do quick flicks with the 2h swords.
or failed parries
yeah parrying 1 handed is like...5% chance for me tbh
2 handed is probably 10%
i can parry one handed mace and swords well if they do higher up strikes
the leg cutting bs i immediately watch for the wind-up and back away to immediately wind up for my left strike
maces don't count because you can parry bad on those and come out fine.
Is there still a beta or early access separate from the demo?
they do sting though
I often parry but since it's sharp, they nab me a little and I die.
since I've started playing on damage all the way up for both.
not really sure how it happened but this guy ended up impaling himself on his sword.
most fights against the one handeds go like this in veteran
and in commoner/militia i don't even record the clips a majority of the time they're too easy to kill
sometimes when you keep your point forward the enemy willie ai just decides its best course of action is ramming into you
Look again, it's his own sword not mine.
you can literally pull off some bs muhammad ali evasion against them
OH ITS HIS OWN SWORD
HOW
man boxing looks like loony toons
win shift s to take a screenshot btw
Ik I got a load of screen shots.
Yet you took a photo of your screen with your phone
Was just lazy about it
Pretty sure taking your phone out, opening discord, going to this server, this channel, selecting the camera, taking the photo was more effort than "win shift s" "alt tab" "ctrl v"
I was excited and lazy bruh =3=
Well thank you for teaching me that.
Dose the ultimate challenge end with the Barron as well?
Bro was FLABBERGASTED
one handed spear is literally a joke
except the 2% chance where it lines up just right and immediately ends your run
Just more practice. Working with half swording at the moment.
I like using the polearms as bonk machines
historically biblically accurate way to use a spear
this is how most fights against a spear without armor or equal reach end
you kind of just like
die
i tried fighting a naginata one time and i literally could not even get close to the guy
taking any kind of damage in veteran for me is an insult
and i either don't clip it or try to farm the aura back
what would you guys say are insta-win weapons for each tier, beggar? its the candlestick in spoilance. commoner? pitchfork, and all the tiers with the goendong or whatever its that
beggar candlestick
pitchfork into militia
plancon into veteran+
voulge/plancon to infinity
man polearms are just peak
consider isntead: greatsword
Fax my Willie, spit yo shit indeed
Probably my only armored takedown with a dagger
im not sure the dagger had much role there
you just kinda dragged him down
I used to dagger to give him a bear hug
Bite the curb lil willie
That is frankly a skill issue. dont attack and defend like you would in lower tiers
i dont think its meant to bend like that
how is the accuracy even possible holy
suddenly
you're right its a skill issue, as i dont play ranks where u have to hit metal 2000 times to even harm willie in the slightest.
"2000 times"
either strike the helmet or thrust into the armpits. those are your options
i mean its kinda cool. but i feel like a tier that only gives you two possible ways to get anything done is kinda boring
like either its just wild swinging in general head direction. or a stab your never gonna pull off intentionally
fist play on top bro idc
It has 3 targets per person. but both having armor changes the dynamic of how you attack and defend to use your own and get around the opponents armor
it's almost like
it's almost like the armor serves its purpose
😱
neither of you having armor forces you to play defensively and strike at openings or master ripostse
too much armor
yeah it's exactly how a full kit armored duel would go
no game of thrones cardboard armor here
🤣
ok cool. doesnt mean im not allowed to voice my opinion that the knight tiers are a little boring because of how limited you are
I agree
and i simply am voicing an opinion on your opinion
armor works and it's realistic wow
Im not saying you are not allowed to dislike it. Im just saying that your argument for why its bad doesnt really hold up
see i feel like theres a mocking tone there
which just makes it an insult and not an actual opinion
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNpHMKwjIdM
for reference
This is a non-choreographed knight fight with full speed and full force behind every strike and thrust.

because your opinion defies common reason and i treat it as such
i love dequitem
day one fan
Armored fencing also involves a lot of grappling
why does everyone here speak like they got A+ in English😝
can i not articulate myself
yeah it just ends up with wrestling
much more difficult to land strikes with big clunky weapon that gets stuck
This particular video doesnt but like 75% of them does
Any historically accurate weapon is still more nible than the opponents body
i dont know man. i feel like insulting someone just cause they said only being able to fight in a single way kinda takes the coolness away is kinda dumb. like even on tier down is so far above the full knight tier. because you can actually attack in different ways than just
swing at head. swing at head. swing at head. swing at head. oh hey i accidentally stabbed him somewhere
You can still stab the armpits or wrestle them
some cuts can get the underside of the armpit too
when multiplayer comes in the future shit will be more fun -just saying
oh easily
they're all made for balance
even one handed club can change direction faster then the opponent can evade
if it's not bludgeoning it usually ends up being about getting between the armor
and nothing quite as reliable as dragging your guy to the ground and jabbing him
Hard strikes to the body still have some effect just far less than the head
Who gonna tell him
??
Get thrown silly
Online multiplayer is not on the roadmap or under development
keyword: Future
The great ones above (the developers)
its part of the demo, just press f
OH
You can use arrow time for slow-mo,
And slow-mo happens for a moment when the screen flashes when you win
Sheer determination of will
Yeah grabbing is inconsistent
Discombobulate
THAT WAS A LOCK ON?
the murderer
Seems like he forged his own armor
Is it posibble to beat the game?
I had the final boss in the ultimate challenge i had him unarmed and even on low graphics so the game wont crash and guess what happened! Right as i was about to swing my last to his death the game just crashed
graphics aren't the issue, it's a bug with the blood and gore
turn those both off
then you should be able to beat the ultimate challenge
Neat lil disarm
Sir you just cut vertically down his forearm
Holup I got a fun disarm too
Messy but,
@sleek gull
Yoink
how to access the game?
lol it ended with the music
go to the steam page for half sword, then download the demo.
I downloaded it and I have a dark room instead of an arena
are the cabinets ingame?
thanks
how are you doing these kicks man 😭
I like melee a lot.
Anyways, I'm using Halfsword Enhancer which you can get on Nexus Mods to use slow motion without it using stamina.
You can kick like that without slow mo but it's basically impossible to actually watch the kick as it happens that way.
You just turn your camera and body as you kick, pressing S to go back+ A or D to turn respectively makes you turn on your heels, so you turn fast.
slowly getting to full sword lmfao
Guys I cut willy leg and the bone texture was put in the wrong space and gave him a willy
I see another puff
Hopefully they fix that along with adding a story mode open world
I want open world but u can run into people
It'd be cursed and I'd love it
It'd be so chaotic
I think it would actually be quite manageable in fact
Like a money system and such as well
Start out as a peasant and then join a revolt. Eventually lead it,
Bc it makes a lot of lag
open world would have a few issues with that
the game can barely render the 6 characters in a buhurt match
so a revolt with like 4 peasants wouldnt be much
fatal crash error (slurs)
The crashing sucks but in my head I imagine something like kingdom come deliverance
I present to you...the perfect first person peasant axe clip
For story and open world. Each town would have a house u could buy and ppl u could challenge. Arenas n such
I mean, I still have this one
True true
but yeah
I dislike how the sun is at the opponents back.
Back to the story mode open world tho.
Could be kinda fun to have different factions around that u can approach and challenge or whatnot as well
Like the woodsman has a faction of lumberjacks in the forest that u fight or something, nobles like the baron in the main castle. Peasants and beggars or highway men bandits between towns on the road that try to rob or attack. That sort of shit
At this point just play kcd2
Bounty hunters. All that good stuff. Could really lead to an interesting and great game
Each town u go to would have homes to buy so u can store your shit
Nah that sword fighting style isn't as fun to me I guess. I enjoy this more where I can manipulate the blade
I can understand that
I'd enjoy seeing willy go up from peasant to commoner and eventually noble and such
But with the same style of fighting we have now.
Noble Willy
I been wishing for this since mortal Kombat deception tho. Loved how I could travel to the different realms and such
Noble willy is fucking huge!
... Wait
Real
Any fun techniques to learn in half sword?
I mastered spinning heel kicks
Anything else
I wanna see the spinning heel kick
So many
Spinning heel kick is like entry level.
Mhm
Watch some real long sword fights and mimick the way they hold before they attack
It lowkey might be the strongest technique though
Like low and high guards and such
Because even with damage set really low a spinning heel kick still knocks them out in 1-2 hits on the jaw
Spin around and slash a tiny spot under the armor, like a 360 no scope
Have u tried using the handle of the spear yet by holding half sword style and using like general grievus or however it's spelled
Ima try this
I’ve been trying to figure out a way to do a roundhouse to the head
But I’ve gotten no where with it
You can lock their heads on the back of the spear if you do that
I have been enjoying the half sword grip a lot, it's fun to use to throw the opponents weapon out of the way and then come back with an attack as u move to defend
Just spin, move your camera down so the kick is facing up, and spin your kick. Make sure your camera isn't locked on.
Ok I’ll try this thanks
i wonder why escape from tarkov is listed as an influence on half sword (havent played it but looking to scratch an itch)
Does anybody know how i can stop the fatal errors
Because eventually you'll be able to join in different maps, and exit with gear and loot
Live in 5! Twitch link in bio!
help me plz
anyone here in wyoming?
No.
is anyone in wyoming?
There are people in Wyoming yes
false
false
False
To make a point that neither exist
Oh. Fair.
I don't know about that tho. I have seen both on a map
Yeah but they were made up to take more space
Wyoming is a lie made by big farma to sell you less food
yo which version is more recent
Death is a concept invented by Big Nature to stop you from living forever
itch or steam demo
Remember that
Itch hasnt been updated in forever
thats what it felt like
Mines on a small map
i been playing the hell out of the demo but i cant get past the peasant boss so i downloaded the itch version but it feels worse
Steam demo is most recent
is passing the peasant boss somthing most ppl can do
Usually yeah
Grab the knife in the middle of the map and run him down with it pointing out
im gonna get my fourth baron kill soon
i use this for the first grete warrior
but i cant find any weapons in the peasant arena
just get the pitch fork gear, its good for that boss
how to play with my friends?
They're impossible until u do it then you're like wtf was wrong w me
Hand in the pants
done, now?
i keep getting fatal errors bro
If u mean here u can't play with their half sword on halfsword yet
makes the ultimate challenge impossible
that makes it boring tho
That's the only way rn.
so i cant play with a friend in the demo?
im clashing with the soon to be killed fourth baron
U asked
n why when i play i'm in the dark place always?
damn ill just wait until its fixed to play
dw
you can fix it with gentle mode
thats how to not get fatal errors
for now
yeah but gentle makes the gore bad
it will be patched and you can finally use gore
eh
turn blood a little
so you understand if you did land hits
but too little
@solemn nova not that I'm aware of no
since blood is what triggers the error i think
Try with blood off
i told him that
ill do it tmr i cba to play now
The blood literally kills the game
10 fatal errors in less than 15 minutes killed my motivation to play
yh
just turn on gentle mode at this point
and turn blood a inch
i use that thing to get baron kills usually
fatal eerror pmo
Happened to me too til I turned the blood off. Then I got the baron and it's back on again
nice, im going for my fourth baron kill rn
clashing with him
Would u enjoy this as an open world game also?
not really ig
imagine
your slaughtering
Different towns have different barons, maybe different weapons n such
and you get ambushed
so open world game would both be laggy and too hard
and also
know that abyss exists
you can just walk and loot
Oh yeah, game over at that point. Part of the fun tho. Sort of dark souls meets the Witcher meets kingdoms come
kill and slaughter
I haven't tried abyss yet
The ultimate challenge was enough for me when I was getting fatal errors so I just kept with the free mode after the baron. I'll try it today tho
abyss is hard
but not harder than ultimate challengee tho
baron bossfight takes like almost onee hour to kill and if we include other willies
baron ez
change ur settings like a noob
and just hope for a lucky shot
its a little timeconsumin
its fun tho
and while trying to get to baron the willies can kill you
ive killed him 3 times and i barely play the game
like how i got one tapped when i was at last wave before baron
u kill the willies tho
i usually kill them in time
then the baron ambushes me cuz i didnt realise how far i was in the game
gicing me a heart attack
giving
make sure to take their gloves if u dont have them alr trust me
i do
i couldnt see it and got my hand cut off\
i even use my fists when i feel like my weapon isnt working well on them
i tried kicking the baron to death lol
what i remember is that he lost his first weapon and swithced to his sword and somehow threw it at me or somth
and got my hand cut off
theres a pic of a glitch in bug reporting
imma stop yapping no
w
his sword is a little op but weighy so i usually try my best to block or parry
bruh
how do i kill this second boss
with the scythe
there are no weapons in the whole arena
because you need to equip one in the menu
you can do that
?\
oh shit
i just clicked the peasant icon
changed everything
thanks
it's english with an accent
Yes and make sure when u get farther u choose your faction so u can pick the next teirs as they come too. Otherwise you'll be a commoner fighting the baron
ok what abt
guys that just point the tip of their weapon at u
i cant get past them i try smacking them away
U can try the halfsword hold and rotate
Someone posted a great technique for it.
Hold on half sword with the handle toward the enemy, as they approach side step right and rotate at the same time so blade it facing enemy now
Try a few in Freeplay
oooh good idea
It works consistently when u can string it all together and it feels really nice too. More like you're actually moving with purpose rather than trying different things til something sticks.
I have a fun method for the shield opponents too if u get stuck on them
Lmk how it's working
working on getting to the point in the game where there ARE people with swords 💔
Has anyone uploaded a extended version of Aurelio on youtube? I need it for a dnd im working on
man, that guy really tried to go down swinging after a greatsword severed his windpipe, I almost feel bad for him
Can always do free play and have swords rn. Gauntlet is just one of 3 ways to play the game
how do you swap modes?
There's the challenge mode. Free mode and abyss. U select free mode at the menu but idk how to go back to challenge mode
So you can do gauntlet, free play at the bottom right, or abyss with the red button
To return to gauntlet from free play theres a giant button where the faction list would be
Few fun stabs bc i love stabbing
bait them into attacking by stepping back and forth with shift
then either parry or just exploit the opening somehow
damn those are impresive especially the two handed
like this
after a while it's easy to gauge which attacks can be parried/exploited and which ones to just wait out
this is like an op endgame ability that you only get when you beat the game lmao i didnt even see it hit his neck
Bro is simply cracked
it's very common when you parry the one handed guys and their own weapon flings yours at their neck
or close parries in general
parrying is cool
Need a frame by frame of that one
Work on small movements. A lot of the game tends to have us want to do big grand gestures but even the most minor can land a killing blow. It's about keeping that blade at the enemy
so as he takes that final step my blade just swipes him
then i flick it the other way and it just slits his throat
@shell bronze question, was this just lucky or is there actually tech to stab from a higher guard, just in your experience.
Ik theres no actual feature but if I can find a way to fenagle this consisntent.... my god
i actually nailed him before his falchion even touched my sword
if you listen and watch a bit close
It's actually a technique
irl i do that but the game doesn't like it when you try doing that stuff
looks like you swung hard enough to the left to get the sword lifted like that before you stabbed i could be wrong though
Move like you're going to raise the sword all the way above head but then lower a bit and move to the left or right and you'll hold that high guard form
Yeah I see it
one of my few problems with the movement is that you can't hold a higher guard and keep your weapon still trained on the enemy
U can hold it that way with just holding the mouse and left click at a certain angle
because it has to decide between parrying and winding up for an attack
nice, i just increased my fov because i can never see where my weapon is if i have it on the left, actually very helpful
Exactly, bc using alt stab will always put you in like, plough and just bring the sword back to center
Annoooyyyying
Game would evolve so much if we could do that
the ACTUAL physics jank bruh\
i'm just playing around with the local population of commoner longsword users
I've had that
ikr
They go flying past the fence
i wanna do ox/kasumi no gamae so bad
They even do a helicopter
the helicopter happens more often if you stick a polearm into them
this is precisely why i play uptier
it's more fun fighting an actual variety of weapons
with the exception of the longsword every other weapon combination in commoner is cheeks
Soldier would be better if everyone had a breastplate
There would be more distinction between them
Joust
ive tried standing my ground and parrying and then reacting with a follow up strike but i can never get the follow up strike to do damage before they get another hit in
and when i do successfuly parry it was such a shitty attack from the ai that i probably didnt even have to in thef irst plce
don't try to parry until you at least have a grasp on how to kill without parrying
if you want to simply win against ai willie in a swordfight then footwork should be your first priority
timing second
if i like really really really tried my hardest i could get a reliable kill like 60% of the time
thats probably not a grasp
let me show you how to win 90%+ of the time
@candid saffron
all of these clips have one thing in common
and were made back to back
not a single parry
Ur just being held up by the shield
2 hammers spawned so i broke all his limbs and then poked some extra holes in him to balance the humours
balanced them a little too much though
you know what else is small
my mom 😂 (im like 3 inches taller)
My wife's mom is tiny AF too, idk what happened. She's like 4 10 maybe but my wife Is in the 5 ft realm.
Your dad is tall right?
i dont know
taller than me maybe
i'll have to check
Anyone here tried that windmill technique?? U take a longsword and just twirl it around your body in circles
im taller than my brother
he's around the same height as my mom though i think, im not sure
no
Brutal. Hopefully that doesn't pose a challenge for him and the ladies. As long as he's confident he will be ok
Mace would make a dark willie...
Wait...
Theres a video from that strider guy where he is using it. Seems pretty legit
That's the one yea
He posted it recently I think. Want to try later tonight. Might just go home and cook tho been a day for sure here at work
Were u trying to find some ppl to sword fight earlier. Is that why u were asking about Wyoming. Or r u really convinced it's not real
What
????
i mean
world is a word
L is kinda flat
w is flat lines
d has a flat line
if you're talking about the EARTH
then
no it's not flat it's bowtie shaped
Brother the earth is an octahedron
The only thing flat around here is my ex!
Ba bum tsss
U really think earth is that classy and fancy?
Elegant and refined ayy
That sword fell pretty flat after u chopped his grasper
this game needs a star wars themed dlc
i stg they gotta stop doing these fuckass feint overheads
the exact moment i recognize the move it's literally always wraps and i don't like it
This is why we need factions and tiers of enemy also would be really cool
I'm really hoping I can get under enough of y'all's skin that we make some noise about how we want it to go
And hopefully ppl agree about factions and maybe even the open world aspect of things
I just think it would be too cool journeying from the little village to the castle and get ambushed by bandits or whatnot along the way.
pvp would be amazing in this game
Or getting to the places and challenging their champions, maybe getting into bar fights, drinking would be kinda funny even, throwing off balance but take less DMG
I could pass on this for a while
game too jank for pvp
Pvp would be fun but might also end up causing a highly toxic community. More things to do and choose from would be nice before pvp
Reminder that what im doing is exactly how knights fought irl
bro your vertical swing
I have yet to get an armored kill with that hammer u were using at the end
They work decent irl too. Look up buhurt
it's possible but genuinely a pita that you're better off just using your fists
I get that its a 6 foot long hunk of metal but you can also hit them with the base of the sword and they drop dead
Bummer lol I feel like the mace isn't properly balanced?
Maybe that's what it is. My wife was kicking ass with it but when I gave her the longsword she was just flailing
hello yall, I came in here to report a bug that made the character naked after I died and won simultaneously
That's not a bug
is this a known problem
Everyone knows about this
thats the freak glitch
Yes but it's not a bug dude
That's disturbing af
It's an easter egg they added
confused the fuck out of me
lol
because the armor ensures you don't get bullshit ass cuts and decapitations that prevent you from actually using the mace properly
Yeah if you use mace in low armored fights you're cooked
on god
they definitely buffed the maces as of late though, they used to be way more jank back in the day
range is king I fear
Cant even take the mace boss seriously because his head is fully exposed
the AI don't beat your weapons away even though they realistically could since they have leverage
nahh, i wouldn't go as far as that, you're not cooked but you are at a disadvantage
They do
If you get hit in the head u get dizzy and u might lose grip but
i get what u mean
not the same thing
idk, in commoner tier I can hold my sword out in front of me and then just win
in the traditional "get away from me" guard
Ai isnt that advanced yet
