Pro tip, if your opponent is using a pole weapon its best to close distance and try to two hand your sword under his chestplate
like from the sleeve
yes im sure he didnt die from that later in the infirmary
see the issue was
i took his sword hand off
but he kept standing and refused to give up
so
i had to take his other one too
how do you even win the fight by knocking them out like that
I’ve found if you hit esc/pause as a new match is loading it happens fairly often
they go down like a sack of potatoes and i win
for me i can knock them out tens of times per match and they just get up and keep going
lol
yo
gurt
why does it cap my shi at 20 when im fighting at npc
20 fps?
ye
Idk if it’s intentionally capped at 20, so I’d say turn down blood in the gore tab(not gore itself) and possibly turn down graphics settings
ah ok
There is an fps limit option tho, I don’t recall it going as low as 20 but you could check for the sake of making sure
how do i reset my progress in the game since i have done every boss and i would like to again
die
ye
low end pc
it saves when i have unlocked the last thing
Die :)
dying doenst help it just saves
it caps it but it still looks like 60
60’s ideal innit
do i delete some logs or reinstall or smthg
climbing spinning headkick
@celest flint
how do people run the cinematic graphics option bro
They dont. That's from promo footage
i have a 5080 and a 14700K and i cant run it bro
Its not meant for gsmeplay
will this game be multiplayer when released?
crazy world
Splitscreen no online
ohh ok
unfortunate
awesome ❤️
Fun fact Willie can only throw crescent kicks and front kicks, don’t let anyone tell you it’s a roundhouse
and you wanna say i have a low end pc bruv
Again, not meant to be ran its meant for screenshots haha. Game isnt optimized at all, literally not an ounce.
Ive got a 1060 6gb and an i5 7k and I get like 70 on high with some tweaks
10 50 better
Don't talk to me abt low end my computer is 8 years old 😤😤
That’s reasonable
Almost on par with my 3060
in age atleast
Oops there goes a hand
If you dont have damage to player and damage to npc maxed out then you not a real one
what tweaks
i would like at know
Oh yeah? Try zero damage to either on t8
first person players are CHADS
cant type at all today
thats just not fun gng 😭
.ini tweaks that reduce some of the unnecessary graphics, and also the Enhancer graphics changes.
So like I run the lighting on high but the reflections on medium.
Sorry I forgot yall mf’s out here teaching Willie FUCKIN SPINJITSU
lol you can do beautiful roundhouses etc just takes a little bit of skill
A roundhouse requires the foot horizontal, his foot stays vertical
i have everything on low
I really am starting to love this communtiy
cus you ppl glazing high graphics like they mean sum
Ill show ya
A crescent kick is basically a front kick from the side, the foot stays straight up and it rotates from the hip, just as Willie does as he can’t rotate his legs sideways without y’all REALLY trying
I like the warm lighting but thats all that matters to me
u can still throw it horizontally just takes angle
ye but low= more preformence
kicks are pretty useless ngl
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3376864446
You can follow this guide to have your resolution at 100 and mess with the graphics. The tweaks i was referring to
But it usually always lands with the side of the foot making contact
HOLY SHIT another willie who wont go down i stg
A roundhouse hits with the top of the foot and lower calf
i already use that bro
True. I just mean ive found the middle ground where I dont drop below 60 and my game looks good enough to my liking
Dope
it can hit with the heel/ ankle
ye
hitting the top of your foot on a guys shin is a good way to take yourself out of the fight ive found out lol
screen size is 25 tho
or a highkick that lands into a guys elbow if he has his guard high
hurts like hell
yeah
hitting a knee or an elbow with a kick
ouwie
knee is okey but an elbow hurts like shit
Leg kicks are such a beautiful 50/50, on one hand you can literally disable someone with a good leg kick, yet if they check it correctly they can just as easily break your leg
LMAO yeah
wow\
Im a big fan of bare knuckle boxing
same bro
It’s pretty badass stuff
my favorite strike will always be a punch to the inside of the forearm lol
I like Muai Thai a lot
yeah just gotta use them right and have conditioned legs
most leg break happen due to being stupid
like the feeling of just killing an npc by fist is amazing
ye olde boxing stance
i haven't been thinking big enough
well yeah
but ye olde boxing stance works very well in bare knuckle
i have like 30 gigs worth of half sword clips this one is just a basic headkick💔
gotta protect all the fleshy bits cause chances are they'll break their hands on your face
idk how to spin kick
getting hit in the arms while covering your head hurts way more without gloves, especially the inside of your forearm
shit and spin while pressing space
takes a while / more fps the better also your fov etc
usually one good punch connecting to the face draws blood or ends the match
and drawing blood means a pause
On an amateur level 100%
the spin technology opens a whole new world
man i love bare knuckle its a different world
im a man of honor
Fuck I love martial arts why is this the convo when I gotta work and drive n shit
Yall have a good one im not losing my license for texting and driving on halfsword discord 
enjoy
me when i fold a person like a well-ironed shirt
honestly i wish halfsword had more effective grappling like i got a legit kimura one and it just doesnt do anything
yeah it's disappointing, unsure if it will be directly addressed but breaking of limbs was a step in that direction
true
i mean it is fairly complicated gor a game like this
yeah man
if we go down to the ground im pressing escape
i will buck break you
ive been grappling for a year and a half and its just so effective against strikers etc
yeah man
yeah that also, it'd require a pretty in-depth system or feel rushed and out of place next to the weapon combat
yep
im spamming right overheads
fuck you
u can try lol
double blastimg your ass like foxy from fnaf
guy has never experienced catching air-time from a cheeky double
the best thing is to mix a little bit of striking in with your grappling or vise versa : D
I'
i mean my kickboxing is alright but my grappling is my main focus
I'm not a particularly good grappler but I'm tall and have very thick legs so I can throw pretty basic kicks with good form
yeah if you're kinda working for a mixed martial experience then 100%
yeah i have never been doubled
but otherwise like, if you punch someone in a grappling session, you'll be kicked out
and i never will be lol
lmao
knock on wood you already manifested it int othe world
tomorrow you're gonna get thundercunted onto your rear by a 5'4 wrestle-junkie who's almost as wide as he is tall
Ngl i dont want a 5'4 guy in my rear
rag-dolling a human being is not so difficult, it happens sort of all at once
lame
clearly missing out on eighty percent of the fun of combat sports
Yeah i know
im just saying
Why is grappling so homo
you're already BEATING on another GUY and SWEATING and HUFFING and PUFFING
man I wish I was more focused on MMA when I was a young lad I'd probably have a shot at going pro
im a heavyweight and wierdly athletic so graplling is fun asf for me
im not letting anyone double me
but I'm already 20 and only just a novice
not much difference when you grab em
hi
Idk man i dont wanna cuddle nobody i wanna fight them
when u are bottom mount and guys sweat from his hair drips in your mouth mmm yumm
thank god bare knuckle boxing doesnt allow grappling
Bare knuckle boxing is homo too
the association of same sex people squeezing one another without any further context into grappling comes off as pretty gay
lol breaking arms and chocking someone unconscious is cuddling
Yeah basically
bare knuckle boxing is just arthritis speedrun any% but ig at least the brain damage isn't as bad
ive choked a few people out back in the day and i never felt straight after it
buddy you might want to sit down for this
yeah my right knuckle is basically fucked permanently
who's gonna tell bro
if you question your sexuality every time you come into that form of contact with a man
you just MIGHT NOT be straight
Damn.... maybe i love men
i have a girlfriend but i told her the sport i do is gay as fuck and she okey with it
Kiss me
amen brotherman
it's ok we're all supportive of gay fighters amen
sure but you are bottom
crazy stance
Wanna grapple and get all sweaty and fight eachother into submission
yeah im gonna choke you till you submit
Okay :3
rear naked choke :3
least gay grappling exchange
lmfao
dude this is a crazy gif
anyone wants to get mothers milked by me?
the impact frames are so quality
What does this mean chat
please put me in a banana split and RIP ME IN HALF
thank you for your consideration
a submussion
with your chest
sure
enough now
aye aye captain
I hate love
HATERS
the barons have spoken
lol imagine
EVIL moderator ..
spreading love to everyone
lmao
so sassy
nah actually thats me but honesty is maxed out
dies
your average happiness drops every stat by 50% so basically that's not a passing grade anymore
get plancon and swing like caseoh
i love loving people and being kind to everyone
plancon?
spiky stick
PLANÇONNNNN A PICOOOOTTTT
maybe im the only one but the whole sword and weapons aspect in the game doesnt interest me as much as the fist fighting idk why💔
the fully armored fights are so silly sometimes
i still do play it just significantly less then the fist fights
you ever fist fight in armor?
it's kinda goated
sometimes but willys cardio cant handle a basic combination
i did it often when 10th hit to head with hammer didn't knock him out
you're not hittin em hard enough
gotta really liquify the brain
idk when i start throwing hands they get koncked out instantly
like how does a lil ass skinny mfk have worse cardio then me who is twice his size💔
bro subsides on like
rotten grain and gruel
i feel you
he is probably a farmer or something wdym you cant throw 5 punches and a kick
and not gas out
bro has measles, rest in piece
💔
and then u want me to fight in an armour like the hardest level with full armous is hardcore
its fun but until u get hit once and gas out ( again )
yes but it feels really good when you make a paste out of the other guy
true
i wish they added a boxing mode just fist fights but with armour gloves
in the gamemode where u have to grab stuff to fight and get the gloves its so good
spoilance is good fun
the candlestand is quite deadly
probably my personal favorite weapon
if the npc has it u just have to cling and spam kicks the most effective
you can just push people around with the four prongs
or the wooden things are goated
the shaft
izz literally what it is
the abyss is so fun
but why does it feel like it has different physics or is it just me
i mean things are a little more floaty i guess
the rocks make for uneven ground i think
or it's placebo
never thought about that
like the kicks and how punches land etc just feels different
mhm
i haven't really experienced similarly but it could very well be the rocks n stones
how many hours u got on halfsword?
40 roundabout
i had like
20 on the other copy
so like 60-65
and on the other one like 70
hell yeah
you done diddly half sworded a whole lot
admirable
and 70% of all those hours is only fist fights 😭
i like trying to recreate real hema techniques in the game
so i mainly stick to swords
but like cool pole-arm techs and spear techs are fun to try as well
but i don't find the game like
i see
there just isn't enough like
progression
basically
i mean i love the swords and weapons etc but the fist fighting is just more fun for me
i wish the npcs would have better ai tho
i wish they threw in the towel earlier sometimes
yeah or just attacked more smart
i'll be standing across from some bloke who has no business standing and after he stumbles into me the physics go wonky and he caves my skull in with a headbutt
yeah for sure
broski wont die
game keeps crashing my pc 😭
or in the fist fights they just punch in the body and barely throw kicks i feel like
ts could be a berserk panel
lol what specs u have
i have geforce 256
uhh rx 7600 and a 5800x3D
shouldnt rlly be crashing
on medium settings
it crashes my ENTIRE system bro
local man too angry to die
must be some kinda insane memory leak
.
i play on medium and have 120 fps idk the game is complicated in this way
tryna dropkick
Tuesday be like
sometimes i feel like, i get a pretty good bloke
bros still alivre
gn chat
zamn
bro said "mercy good sire"
sometimes they fight like prime connor mcgregor but the other ones fight like a drunk uncle
even bro
i mean he probably still has his left nut its not over yet
yeah ts kinda crazy
what did you do to bro
slicey chop snip snip
also bro went from mystic mac to coked out conor
truly tragic
Connors downfall in mma is horrible and sad
overall idc he made his
money and is happy with his family but still parties and is with other women etc
not chill
bro predicted his own downfall
the money made him mad
but he set up his children's children
and grew the sport to an unprecedented degree
fr
Can someone give me advice to get better at the game?
try practicing hitting specific areas and remember to keep your distance until you see an opportunity to attack
moving in the direction you're attacking will greatly boost the damage of your attack
momentum and physics are super important in this game
Pick good weapons
I found that i can fuck anyone up with a longsword with ease
highest score in abyss?
a gazillion
mess around with mouse sens - it's personal preference but getting a setting you enjoy helps
play freemode more than the gauntlet. freemode lets you try riskier tactics or experiment more freely without the fear of death
play variety of weapons. even if u suck at them. helps overall game knowlege
oh yeah
is there like
a way to revert the gauntlet mode making every enemy in every rank the hardest guys
or do i have to beat ultimate challenge
wym
like only fight the boss?
for each tier
Could somebody help me out with the game Im not able to download it
I click download and nothing happens 🥀
I cant go past the beggar boss
close distance and kick a lot
How do i kick?
space
some good falchioning
you twerked on that bloke for a while
that reminded me, it seems that buttock size varies by character or that's what I've seen so far
My top tip that made me slightly better: banning myself from the big candlestick
in the abyss or spoilence?
Abyss. I love grabbing it in Spoilance and trying to fight everyone at once, but I do need to learn other weapons and how to counter the Murder Candlestick
twerrking helps you stay out of billhook range and lets you cleave their head off
Anyone else think they should add a feature to where you can attack still even if you're on the ground? Cause sometimes my guy just trips over a small item, then I fall over and the other people just come kill me, even though I didn't have an injury. But if you fell over and hit your head, I could understand why you wouldn't be able to attack while on the ground
they sorta do its just not that good really, though I'm barely on the ground so I don't see it much
You can actually attack on the ground
awesome
lmao peasant with a greatsword
Figuring out spacing is super key IMO. I found that you want to learn the lethal ranges of weapons because too close will not do much, and obviously too far won't do anything at all.
Once you have a better idea of how to control your character there's a lot of clever ways you can change your lethal range for farther or shorter distances
kinda useless against armored opponents i’d imagine
Yeah maybe
I use the long or great swords a lot
Theyre fantastic
everything's a whacking stick if you try hard enough
Well usually if my opponent has a sword also i keep my distance
I've never been able to, it's like he tries to lift his arm but doesn't
try to swoop in on the inside of their arm either from the left or right upward strike
usually works
But the best case scenario is if they dont have a bladed weapon, then u js half sword and beat them to death with the pommel
I swear this was not how I intended for this to go
slipping it under their helmet
great move too
wtf is that
no thats a nodachi
or something like that

katanas arent that long wtf
crazy
this one was way cleaner
Tachi, I think.
true
real
There’s a O-Katana / Nodachi in the vicious weapon pack
oh, this one's a weird experiment, I actually lowered the FOV for a while. put it back on default later though
It’s pretty good lowkey, a bit heavy tho
tachis arent even that long
ok
iirc tachis are made for horse combat
horse wielding katanas
Tachi is basically the earlier version of the katana, same size if not slightly shorter, worn edge down rather than edge up like you say for horse combat
Yessir
well nodachi is the field sword
I don’t know the exact translations but iirc Nodachi and Odachi are very similar
Possibly an interchangeable term
lemme google it
Like fencing pretty much, based on real fighting but progressively became more of a points thing over the years
Ones a term for its application, ones a term for what it is
yeah
O-katana might be the same too
They didn’t wield those
forget about two handed swords, get ready for two manned swords
Nobody really knows where that one came from iirc it’s believed to be more like a challenge for a blacksmith
That’s more of a “look at how good my blacksmith is” thing
clearly this was what you asked for yes? /jk
it was pretty good blacksmithing

Trying to use the spear like a bo staff
Little too floaty and the arms get too confused atm
Especially considering steels rarity back then
Well yeah
their steel sucked major balls
But they did what they could
and made pretty good stuff out of it
It’s funny how expensive that steel is, tamahagane
I bought a handmade Japanese katana, for 1060 carbon, a better more consistent steel had a final price under 400 cad, to buy the same sword in tamahagane would have been ~3000
Welp
you know
if you buy a katana
it oughta be an original
i wanna buy a real historical one
bonk
but i wont use it ofc
Its original enough that they hand engraved kanji of my choice into the blade so I’m happy
i mean original japanese one yknow
But ofc for cutting youre better off with a modern steel one
A historical original would be sick I can’t lie
Just for display
They can be biiiiig money
fr fr
i saw a
i forgot whats it called
its a wakizashi size tho
but really nice
with gold inlays and stuff
for sale local
its sick but expensive
Cheapest historical option prob a ww1/ww2 officers katana, there’s a specific name but I forgor
They sell like any other mil surplus

I partner with a trusted kata...
1 Yen = 0.0068 United States Dollar
Which is honestly, a good price.
THough you can get the second option, which would be around 100,000 yen, or $675
for a traditionally made katana, it's a good price
but there's no way im spending that much on something that's going to be sitting in a shelf
yeah, fair point
it's a nice hobby to have, but sadly, you can't really go around carrying it nowadays
That is just for training purposes. Much like in HEMA, you can find people using either feders or plastic swords these days.
The skills used with the bamboo can be done with a sharp katana. But you don't really want to practice with that = )
Absolutely lol
Totally. Same with those who practice HEMA. There are competitions, but not everyone goes that route. Some just enjoy swinging around a feder in their back yard = )
Self defense
A long sword makes for a tricky self defense weapon in the home. If you are in a wide open space, it is useful, but in a hallway, you are at a disadvantage. I'd rather a shotgun personally lol
The robber with a knife when I whip out my broadsword and use a series of complex movements to seperate his head from his body
“I own a longsword for self defence, just as the king intended”
I WAS JUST GONNA POST THAT
Nah bruh I live in medieval England we don’t have shotguns
“He bleeds out before the Knights Hospitaller arrive, as triangular-profile estoc wounds are impossible to stitch up”
This would be a good one in a home. A 'long knife'
Not quite as short as a dagger, not quite as long as a short sword.
Shortsword gaming
Fuck
Get a Gladius and have 10x the aura
F yeah!
Actually nah I’d have a mace for self defense
You ok?
Or better yet a morning star
Do you often fantasize of beating a home intruders head in with a metal club
I mean hell, if we are looking at home defense, why not a short spear? Don't need to worry about tight spaces, you just need to stab!
Swing to the left, swing to the right
Too cumbersome to carry
Do you not?
Nah! a 4 foot spear would be fine! lol
where would be the best place to buy a sword?
No it’s just anyone who enters my house without permission is legally accepting that they will explode
A full pike and shot formation
I’m Canadian if I so much as considered telling a home intruder to leave I’d be arrested
Wrong reply
.
LOL The last state I lived in was the same exact way. If I didn't offer the intruder coffee, i'd be tossed in maximum security.
‘Apologies would you mind passing me your jar of maple syrup, eh’
That being said, gladius is perfect home defence, short thrusting sword with a wide refined edge
As the Roman Empire intended
Canada only has polar responses to aggression. “Oop, sorry” and “dial The Hague, I just did a new one”
Hockey sticks are pretty solid bludgeons. I don’t think coding ice skates in Half Sword will be easy though.
Nah I might go to prison but If someone tries invading my home I got like 4-5 swords at my disposal
probably easier to just delete friction from the code.
They did burn down the White House that one time
If the detectives want my tax dollars they will have to earn them
Bro thinks he general grevious
Do you have four arms
depends. Is it Kenobi's home?
Is that home invader called obi wan
Ok that’s it bro. Get in the trash compactor
NOOOOOOOO
Best line in the prequel trilogy
Itd be a menacing weapon full stop bro
Unless it’s fake
If you pull up with a fake lightsaber I’m laughing my ass off and capping yo ass
The blade was designed for fencing/sparring so iirc the same material as plexiglass bullet proof windows
Making lightsaber noises with my mouth, pausing to breath every few seconds as I approach
'Hears door break open'
'Grabs custom Lightsaber with SD card loaded up with custom sounds'
'Creeps around the corner'
'spots the intruder'
'intruder spots homeowner'
'lightsaber turns on'
Sound of Peter Griffin laughing as the room illuminates in an assortment of flashing colors
Application of morning star to face
how do i use free mode i dont get it
I’m grabbing my greatsword I just remembered I have one lol
If someone breaks into my house they seeing me butt naked so it's like I'm a scottish highlander charging down a hill
See, this is why burglary is a risky proposition. Everyone knows that there’s the risk they run into the guy who’s been dreaming of this moment every time he wrenches a Willie.
i have a lightsaber, i dont think it would be very effectuve though...
Try a light sabre instead
Pffft. If you aren't using a laser sword, then what you are really doing?
Lite sabre
Where are my laser swords government
What the fuck am I paying taxes for then
Now with just one calorie
What would a lightsaber even taste like
Probably radioactive
Also I’ve just had a ‘what the fuck are we talking about’ moment
is there anywhere specific i should post this?
What a fuckin title you’ve given yourself
It’s menacing
do you guys think he will be ok?
you guys know you can cut clothing
is this the bit of 87
🎉 🎉 MY FIRST CRASH 🎉 🎉
And it only took 25 hours! 😄
He can probably heal from this, give him some time
if you're at the ultimate challange, go to settings, click gore then slide the blood slider all the way to the left
This would have a very different response in a driving server
Haha you're right
I was doing Free Play, guess the game didn't want me to finish off a Willie that had surrendered
The error log said something about an older graphics handler file being deleted too early
But like, I've seen way too many people crash on potato graphics, I always wondered why am I different? Guess I'm no different from the rest
However in my case it's Epic graphics all the time
does anyone else crash every time they go to menu in abbys
i'm trying to complete it but its making it very difficult
was there an update that changed the game or did i just get a case of sudden skill issue
in what way changed
weapons do less damage and are less accurate somehow, they feel heavier also. I usually had no trouble going thru the story mode but not i struggle to go past commoner
i didnt change settings
so vital organs take more damage and nonvital take less
whyy thats not fair 😭
lol that bug
i did this bug once, hella fun but leaves you defensless
thou hast to prove thy bravery while disrobed
just died to fucking shears I'm never beating the abbys
Still better than crashing at veteran
that will probably happen if i ever do get to veteran
maybe i should try and do the gauntlet final challenge instead but i hate how the enemies take less damage
i'll just turn npc damage up a little
the game is kind of boring on the last 2 levels because there is too much armor
the game loses its thing,the gore
the games not just about the gore lol
you are just hitting each other in invincible metal suits
fair
i personally think the 3rd and 4th tiers from the top are the best
no armor,sure chest armor sure,helmet sure even arms sure but full body armor is just plain boring
there's a lot of armour but there's still clear weakspots, unlike knight tier
you get brave stand which is really fun
In man at arms you can still aim for weak spots but the knight is just boring
yeah agreed
yeah because there's just a lack of control needed for getting into those tiny weakspots in knight tier
sneaking a dagger into an eyeslit or armpit was very feasible irl
ingame its nearly impossible
all the time im hitting their head with blunt weapons for the win
its so boring to just endlessly swing at each other
i've only ever gotten one stab through the eyslit, even though thats depicted in the games art
i always do the first 3 levels they are so fun for me
im a roundhouse kicker
commoner is really fun, but the tiers above it can be very painful if you dont have a spear
Soldier is the most fun tier tbh
beggar is better
veteran has some really cool stuff
long stick with a sharp end is just too good
i just wish soldier and veteran had brave stand
fr beggar aint topping that'
this game needs a 2 handed long mace
there is
and ofc you have pollaxes at the highest tiers
Yeah t4 and t5 have it
Veteran is fun for sword fighting but i feel like soldier has the most weapons
imagine using it in a brave stand against like 4 beggars
i maybe be mixing things up ill send a picture
i should probably install mods for that actually
ok
does it? what weapons are in soldier but not veteran
like this
i dont play either that much tbf
similar thing to this weapon would be fun to use
that is literally in the game
well it doesn't have a buttspike
but its a mace on a pole
im talking about that exact weapon i sent
i want that one!!!!!!!!!11!!
morning star gaming
uchigatana better
the goedendag (i think its called that), long mace and the weird low tier long axe
probably the billhook too yeah
well i certainly dont miss fighting the geodendag
Fighting against it is hell but using it is so satisfying
i think it might actually be called a plancon, but a goedendag is also a weapon used for smashing and thrusting so they're similar
8 beggars vs 1 goedendag
100 beggars vs 1 godendag
i do 1 tier 3 boss vs 5 beggars with stools they win
the worst thing about it is how even on the ground its a threat
they just give up without any weapons so i gave them stools they won
i've hurt my foot stepping on it so many times
I think it can be called both. Its just a stick with spikes on it after all
iirc goedendags didn't have spikes? (other than the one on the point)
lego brick on a stick
oop
Maybe. The only goedendag i know is from chivalry 2.
its all just modern terminology really i think
Yeah because the peasant from 15th century probably didn't think if he was using a plancon or a goedendag
even terms like longsword, greatsword, bastard sword are all modern archaelogical terms
again??
maybe you cant run the game on your pc lol
turn off blood maybe?
it makes my PC fans go ballistic even on medium graphics
Can you please give us option to disable the darkness in abyss? it's too difficult in the later stages as you can get hit without warning as the field of vision is so close
thats part of the challenge isn't it?
People were too busy killing other people and dying from diarrhea to care about terminology back then
The abyss thing where you start as peasant, i only get up to the 6th level or so then i just get killed by some bastard getting a lucky hit on my hands/legs as i did not have time to react due to the darkness
No I want the devs to let you suffer
i played this game for a long time lol. never had this problem
but also
it cant
or shouldnt be able to
you get pretty reasonable time to react in my opinion
Skill issue then. Its supposed to be hard after 6th tier
Well tbf that’s why he asked for an option to disable, you wouldn’t have to disable if you don’t want to
well it should be a challenge right?
I only get killed when i get people storming me from the side and i can't see them
Do you ever adjust the game difficulty in other games?
tbh no i usually play on the default or hardest difficulty depending on the game
they shouldnt be attacking from the side, they usually spawn directly in front of you
i see your point though
but i think the darkness is an important part of the abyss
Well Thats the beauty of having options isn’t it 
Turn around so you can spot people easier. Playing without fog is already an advantage and disabling darkness would also probably make it harder to run
well choosing to play the abyss is an option
its not like its the only game mode
its a challenge mode
They sometimes spawn behind when you look behind for a second. I had situations where i was running for like a minute until i realized i had someone behind me
This is a silly “argument” were having lol, just like choosing to play it is an option, making it easier is also an option! Everyone has the freedom of choice so nobody loses 😎 theres no right way to play a game! Unless you play it differently than me, then Youre playing wrong
people argue this about lots of different games, soulslikes for example, and i dont really agree with it
its good for games to provide a challenge that you have to persevere to beat
but thats just my opinion
Tbf Thats an example I can’t get down with because the souls games are specifically made to be as difficult as possible, so going in and making it easier defeats the point of the game
which explains the existence of hard modes in games
Which I guess you can use to help prove your point too but I digress
i think the challenge is cheapened when the option for an easy mode is there as an escape hatch
but of course it depends on the game
The whole abyss issue doesn't even feel like an issue to me, I just walk with my weapon ready and the locking works as intended, it locks onto an enemy before I can even see him
i quite enjoy a little boxing
i never got the hang of it, maybe i should try it
I just play everything on normal because 99% of the time its the game mode devs intended to be played
Holding Alt when punching does a nice forward punch
i do sometimes have an unfortunate habit of going straight for the hardest difficulty and burning myself out
i never play easy modes
Me going right to game settings and maxing out the difficulty off rip
i thought this was a game about medieval armoured combat
if i am playing a game for the first time i will play it As The Developers Intended
Armor is for the weak
I just enjoy the challenge
i guess it also depends how the difficulty is done
amor makes fights take too long..,.,
Every game I play, always the hardest
spongier healthbars is always unsatisfying
(like the final challenge of the gauntlet in this game)
Cause if you’re gonna get good, you’ll be forced to get good at the hardest level. Quickest improvement. Or you suck and do terrible and uninstall
I either play games on Normal or go straight to Hard if it's unlocked from the start, I like to challenge and suffer in the oblivion of not knowing what comes next, then scream like a baby on steroids when danger approaches
but adding more enemies, or handicapping the player in some way is often more interesting
I just don’t wanna play on normal and find it’s drastically too easy. Thats not being like egotistical it’s just how it is. Im not a great gamer or anything
yeah i'm the same
but hard mode means a very different thing to some developers than others
its kind of like spicy food
Haha well put
you think you like it extra hot until you try going to a different place
and you get burned
I also don’t replay games like ever. Except games meant for it like..bannerlord or something. Once I beat the main part, I lose all interest. Also the reason I do every single side quest in games before finishing the main story
Hmmm yeah, reminds me of Cyberpunk 2077. Hardest difficulty itself is bearable if you play just right, but car chase scenes are outright impossible
So if I play on normal and get halfway through and realize it’s boring cause of how easy it is..games done
Im not replaying
I couldn’t even imagine 2077 on max difficulty it was hard enough on normal
same
rpgs often have this issue i think
And then I read shit online like “for my 10th playthrough im doing this build”…
one of the most painful looking punches i've dealt just now
Darn I forgot GIFs are not enabled for a peasant like me
Ay, I beat the game in the first month of release gimme credit I was fighting the game itself more than the enemies
my go-to is to grab the guy with one hand and just pummel him with the other
that works well but its kinda boring ...
yeah i was just trying to get through beggar tier for the gauntlet
so i could suffer in commoner tier
2077 had a insane launch tho, so many ppl downloaded it at once the steam store page crashed for like 2 days
Played since launch, I had minor glitches somehow, only cars sometimes spawning under the surface.
And then everyone hated it instantly
Luckily they took a page from no man’s sky’s book and turned it around massively
It’s unfortunate cause the games awesome now, but after the hype is gone that means nothing
2077's glow-up was huge, especially with the Phantom Liberty release aaaaaaand this is quite the #halfsword-chat-⚔ is it now?
Commoner boss is the hardest boss in the game if you are not using the pitchfork tbh
I wouldn’t say that, they managed to turn it around fr. Even now just on steam has 55k people playing
Add in consoles
yeah the A.I shines in commoner tier
im wondering for if an online multiplayer ever releases
how good is my fistfighting compared to the masses?
tbh the A.I is quite decent when they fight eachother but they have no idea how to defend against a player, or how to fight against armour
Splitscreen is coming, im sure people will make shit work with parsec
online multiplayer will be painful due to desync i fear
Not as good as it woulda been with a solid launch but yeah they did everything right afterwards
yeah
The commoner boss reminds me of the old demo scythe boss. The same level of OP
Literally just his scythe that’s op lmao it takes limbs off like they aren’t there
Get past that old scythe boss and Youre set though, I remember tearing through everything till the end with that scythe
Desync and probably those kinds of fighters that go all in with pushy tactics instead of duel with honour.
yeah what happened to the scythe? its not very good in my experience
sometimes it randomly slews off a limb
but pitchfork is better
They nerfed it into the ground in the new demo
They brought it back, but I’m not sure if removed again cause people don’t talk about using it, and tbh I haven’t played halfsword in a minute
its in the game, peasant boss uses it
the scythe was was better in the demo imo
was wayy easier to slice limbs and cut people in half with how you would cut on joints in the demo rather than how it works now
yeah some weapons definitely need some fine tuning
Straight through 2 people at a time cut in half
sometimes a peasant's knife feels sharper than a sword
i've severed legs with that little peasant knife
The gore was so much different too. Idk if it was for the better or worse but it was way different
i remember doing this to an mf...
but they are reworking the gore system so i'm sure it'll all be fixed
i only joined the game for the demo after that
so i never saw the crazy gore
It was much more exaggerated, I’ll say that
i cant wait for when we can blow up a guys head with a clean hit again...
blunt weapons need some gore though, they have practically none currently
Are the barrels still in the game? I don't remember seeing them since the new demo
i wacked a guy in the head with a pollaxe, full force, no helmet, and he got back up afterwards
his head should have been in pieces
Even early access is going to have a new and improved gore system compared to what we have now. The gore has gone through a lot of changes over time
like that
(though that does seem quite dramatic)
not sure
i haven't been paying attention to that typa thing tbh
update in a week...
it'd be cool if you could l ike concave the skull or ribs to see when you break a guys ribs or even skull with blunt weapons
it'll make my boxing experience much better...
Im already happy that they added breaking bones. Even when i tripped and broke my leg in abyss
also i noticed someone mention that the roots of teeth are modeled
possibly means we can knock out teeth in the future...
i got an image of them here
Half sword tommorow!
but its only very extreme ones that happen at the joint
im not sure if i've seen actual broken bones or if its just funky modeling
cause willys arms do get kinbda messed up when punching ..
the real goal of blunt damage should be hitting the head
brogen bonez
they definitely do break, try using a mace against some unarmoured folk, hit them in the knees
even a swift kick can do it sometimes
basically the knee ends up bending the other way
and they start screaming horribly
the funky arm in question
Hitting people with a blunt weapon and seeing them struggle to stay up is my favorite thing in the game after lobotomizing people
im talking breaking otuside of joints
yeah i dont think that exists yet
i wonder if they'll model all the organs in future
They surely will
currently its just if you pierce the brain they die, if you cut the throat they die more slowly
and they can bleed to death from other injuries
you used to be able to cut out the intestine in the old demo
seen here
Im very excited to see what early access brings
wow
im kinda wanting like a expression changer in photo mode
almost got 100 hours on the demo alone
mwahahahaha
same
One of the moderators, militus, has around 1500 hours across all builds
When you love a game you really love a game lol
will halfsword be free or how much??
how much do you think it would be?
one BILLION dollars
gotta do it for the willies
bold move to say your pirating ngl
what are you some kind of brokie

You only uncon’d him
no
its illeagal you buffoon

lol never stop pirating
God forbid a whiteboy breaks some laws
illegal*
sigh
yea
im a good buy i must obey the law at all times!☝️
nobody is gonna know
as a totally legal man, i have never pirated anything
It’s illegal, and if your internet provider detects Youre pirating they’ll threaten to shut off your access
nerd
anime excluded
boohoo
I thought that they will just drop from him after i threw the brick. I will take this into consideration next time
fr
anyway you guys are so stupid and naive, you think theres some invisible person caled “the law” whos gonna come shove you into a cell if you download something?? ive literally never seen “the law” how could it tell im speeding anyway
i love breaking the law!
😡
awesome sauce
only in school
idgaf
will i ever do
“the law” is made up
hehehehehehehehehehehehehehe
If you wanna be in the server you should! At the very least dont talk about pirating the game, when you’re in the discord with the devs of said game
nah its silly rules
oh no they are gonna catch me
ngl im kinda looking forward to school lunch again
the game aint even out yet how would you pirate a free game💔
