me when i pretend to be dumb
I AM ON THE LOWEST SETTINGS AND CANNOT OPEN PROGRESSION WITHOUT CRASHING.
skill issue
What fucking part is not getting into your head
I feel like you guys dont understand how hard it is to program games like half sword
I've already said I AM waiting
get a course on game programming, its hell
The part where im supposed to care that you got shit settings with an equally as shit pc
i feel like you dont understand how easy it is to just not launch the game and keep wokring on it until its not a broken mess, it would actually be less work than launching the game
thats unreasonably cruel
No it's just true
"broken mess" w exaggeration
Lol
it is abroken mess.
literally this thread right now
Alright, i guess you guys just want to keep complaining and wont accept anything other than your opinions
the menus dont even work right
im outta here
the physiscs doesnt work right
"it's not broken if i can play it smooth"
the game doesnt run right for 80% of people
yeah because i know how hard programming is dude wtf
Second part is also what you're doing but aight
its a broken mess.
its not always a predictable thing
Im not 80% of the people. I get to shit on all the haters lol
congrats
what are YOU not getting, i am saying programming is UNPREDICTABLE
Thanks bubba
bro we get it
Lmao
i have a 9070xt and a 9800x3d and i get like no frames when im actually trying to hit something lmao
triple a studios ruined the concept of early access
that doesnt mean you HAVE to launch the game
🤦♂️
and releasing a buggy mess is optional
Yeah its because its easier to get a lot of people to play test the game and see if there are common bugs to fix
in the early access specially
kinda the point of early access
Get rid of all low quality pink/white roles and ban everyone in this thread
ppl who buy are the testers & provide funding
^^
i would have preferred waiting until February or even March if it meant we got something more optimized than the current version
I just have it cuz it's funny because i like fun
None yeah lol
Then run a quick playtest instead of a paid launch
not all delays are bc of testing
its also easy to make early access free and make full game paid
They need funds to fund the game
you are saying that stable = optimized while that's not true
the game cant be made if they cant fund the game
guys crazy theory they did it on purpose to watch us fight just like the spectators in the tourney its a lore arg kinda thing❗ ❗
they managed to work on it for 3 years without charging for it bro
buying it is optional, refunding it if it doesnt reach ur expectations is also optional
lmao if i could i would
launching it broken was optional
yeah and thats exactly why they're making it paid, to speed up the process by having funds
all a part of the jesters plan
Raccoon needs to understand that I'm smarter, richer, funnier and most importantly I'm always right
Red roles AM I RIGHT
so true....
nobody is forcing you to play it
Money doesn't grow on trees btw, this is probably a hobby project and today is the first cash they see for it
Nobody has said otherwise
we are just like the zombies in the abyss
the zombies are cool i must frighin admit
People falling for the words of captain misinfo truly a master of his art...
"why are you upset the thing like is in shambles bro no one is forcing you to partake"
who is willie in this scenario
becasue its a thing i like and i dont want it in shambles tf??
raccoon
I've been lying about almost everything I've said but i have a job to uphold
literally is a small team though, ea is misused by triple a studios
Yeah i get it they should've worded it more carefully, but the good thing is that it has more potential to get even better bug-wise and performance-wise later on since it has its own engine that they can tweak and fix, it wont take long for them to fix the common bugs
a soul stuck in the game and we will be the enemies he fights
I'll admit it now though before people go batshit feral
but seriously can't people do anything else for a week or two
man if only they did those things during the last year and month
If by wording more carefully you mean not just lying and failing to deliver
Mfs In this thread bloodthirsty
i didn't kill myself for this and i'm willing to wait because two weeks is nothing against months
We are in the arena it's all about bloodletting
but lord english is right tho
i did kill myself for this and im NOT willing to wait two weeks
That's why we play this game bro
same thing happened with KCD and now it's PEAK
Relax man, its an early access have some patience
Mfs before blood update
they'll patch things up and it'll be playable
But it was broken in the first months
true...!
I am. I have said MULTIPLE times directly to you that I am waiting and returning after updates. That's not related to me saying this is a dogshit launch with no reasonable excuse.
peak
"BuT It ShOuld Be sTable NOw lOok aT thIs SteAm PoSt saYIng So"
almost as good as moscow car driving simulator 2019
and what if they ran out of money to hire testers and we are paying to be the testers
guys someone make half sword in roblox
Would it hurt for you to just calm down man? you could just be patient when indie teams make mistakes
it's impossible the lag makes sword slashers unplayable, look at the mordhau clone
everyone hated lord english that's natural
Then be transparent about it. They said that the launch was being delayed to get the game to a more playable state and failed to deliver. THAT is what people are upset about.
well thats not what we payed for lmao we payed for a game thats " fully playable, stable, and already highly enjoyable. While you may encounter occasional minor bugs, there shouldn’t be any major issues"
true
then lets just make a studio ourselves and make a better half sword
yea its kinda stupid to have to pay 20+ dollars for a game thats got a ton of issues and just be expected to let it sit in ur library collecting dust just to wait for updates to make it playable.
could run better
lord english do be a fiend
If they had been open then people wouldn't be raging nearly as much.
I am calm. Swearing does not mean I'm not calm.
There's an excuse actually. They needed feedback on what and what doesn't need fixing. We paid them to be the testers. But now you get to play EA. you should be thankful son
if they said "guys the game is broken and it will take some time to fix it" instead of "The game is fully playable, stable, and already highly enjoyable. While you may encounter occasional minor bugs, there shouldn’t be any major issues." it would be an entirely different situation
it really looks like you're balling your eyes out in rage rn
The devs had a powerhouse and didn't realise theory is still standing
Cool, look harder.
that still means they failed to do their jobs lol
ok so thats you calm?
im scared to see you when youre angry...
gulp
Yeah, that happens when it's your first big project and you fuck up
All you have is that single post. Keep clinging to it pal it's all you have
True
Incredibly true
Matter of fact
Factual
please stop the raging eugene
lmao its in the store page of course it should be used
what did you expect from the first game of an indie team that is made on UE5 don't play fool you knew what was coming
so why did they say "The game is fully playable, stable, and already highly enjoyable. While you may encounter occasional minor bugs, there shouldn’t be any major issues." and not "the game is broken and it will take some time to fix it but we hope youll stick with uts"?
i don't know, ask them
bitching won't make the answers fall from the sky
Because everything they said is factual and true that's why they said it. Also i ain't readin allat
Try hard
Calm down
Neither will defending it
They could have just given the demo new weapons, a few more postgame tiers with new Grete Champions and some more "Pick your next fight!" choices and sold that for like 15$
That would have been a better product ngl, and that was really what I was hoping the final game would have been
Bro does NOT have mercy on a singular slip up
"singular slip up" and its the steam store page just lying to the consumer
lmao
Maybe
When that slip up is a flat out lie and your game being in a broken, unplayable state (the exact opposite of what was promised)? Yeah, no
im gonna try half sword myself and see if all the negative rumours are true
what's your PC specs
but this happened with Atlyss too, a single slip on balance and kisseff was almost killed, they fucked up and it's fucked yeah now they solve it and see what happens
what's done done
it'll run fine probably
i hope it does
Yeah, slip ups happen man are you the slip up rulemaster....?
i really want to enjoy this but all the negative feedback is concerning
and i really doubt that it took you more that 2 hours to ser performance issues smh
ill give it 1 hour
It will mfs exaggerating
mostly the performance and that the saves don't really save
i think lying to the consumer about the nature of your product is more than a slip up
at the end of the day im still a hs fan
bro you acting like they planned all of this to fuck over the consumer
guys the steam revievs went from negative to mixed 🎉 🎉
and that the demo and EA share the same app data file
what does homestuck have to do with this
say that again?
Why do you like high schools so much
W
yup im pointing out that they lied in the steam store page abnout the quality of the product and now im a conspiracy theorist about how they are trying to just akle our money and run. nice strawmna, get serious
its not like anyone wants this game to fail but when people have been waiting for this long and the first impression is this ofc people are gonna be pissed especially when the devs arent transparent about the state of their product before weve already bought the game lmao
Good job HS enjoyers
I see.... i see hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Because he loves teaching the young and help them become the better versions of themselves and help the society
This is exactly it

Dude you're doing too much i ain't even gonna lie. If you can't handle the factual statements of all HS enjoyers then you might as well just wrap it up because the game if not right now for you is enjoyable, it will be. Then you're gonna be in chat sayin "OHHHHH MY GOD HALF SWORD SO GOOD OHHHH"

Banana prices vary widely by country due to differences in local production, import dependence, labor costs, and retail markups. In countries that grow bananas domestically, prices are generally much lower because transportation and import costs are minimal. For example, major producing countries such as India, Ecuador, and the Philippines often have retail prices well under $1 per kilogram, especially in local markets where bananas move directly from farms to consumers.
In contrast, import-dependent and higher-income countries tend to have significantly higher prices. Many countries in Europe, East Asia, and parts of the Middle East rely almost entirely on imported bananas, which adds shipping, storage, tariffs, and distribution costs. As a result, bananas in these regions commonly sell for $2–$3+ per kilogram, even though the fruit itself is relatively cheap at the farm level. Higher wages and supermarket markups further increase shelf prices.
Wholesale prices show a similar pattern but at a lower level. Globally, wholesale banana prices typically range from about $0.30 to $2 per kilogram, depending on region and season. Retail prices then reflect local economic conditions, purchasing power, and food pricing norms. Overall, bananas are cheapest in countries where they are grown locally and most expensive where they must be imported and sold in high-cost retail environments.

A technique where you grab your sword with one hand on the handle and other on the tip giving you accuracy and aim for gaps on armor and grapple enemies
erm i disagree
well im off to go play a game that doesnt run like steaming shit

half sword is when you break the sword in half
quarter sword
heh.... noobs
i tend to grab my sword on the fuckin tip if you catch me drift
erm sir, i require you attention on my disagreement with thy statement

Camel Royal Golds are pretty goated too
There was an idea for a survival mordhau

Half Sword early access is a game
(that is worse than its demo)
/j (partially)
half sword electronic arts
wonder why it released like shit
my personal opinion is that The game is fully playable, stable, and already highly enjoyable. While you may encounter occasional minor bugs, there shouldn’t be any major issues.
to boost engagement
stable it is
it doesn't explode in your face
my personal and original opinion
they achoo'd and flipped their proper early access build with the crappy first build
whoopsie daisies
Einstein be moving like Vegapunk
It's been stable for me, I enjoy it because it's halfsword
But jesus christ I am having a genuinely hard time believing that someone play tested this and went 'yeah this is ok to launch'
Or play tested it at all. On Dx11 there are literal holes in the map like it's some kind of Roblox Beta
__Meth__od
(for some players (me))
my theory is that they ran out of money, and released the game to double on funding and getting free testerd
I think this is all just a social experiment, imagine if next patch makes it like 10x better and everyone forgets how bad it released in the early access
and you're the only one that remembers it
I figured it mustve been some kind of publisher deadline kind of thing
did you get timed out 💓
Twice 😭
the cashapp method🔥
my biggest issue besides the performance is the freemode i wish it was like the demo but with your own loadout
Idek if they have a publisher calling the shots or if its independent all the way but I couldn't imagine greenlighting this for 20 bucks
"No guys i swear it was roblox before this patch!!"
THE MIMIC
at least they have their own engine to crunch out the fixes faster now
seriously?
it'll be better than the first shitty ass demo builds since the gore engine was third party
huh
I was thinking if they could migrate the game
I'm gonna put in at least 10 hours before I make a real feedback post, get up to soldier at least I figure, see how the longswords feel, polearms too.
So far combats a straight downgrade from the demo.
iirc they said fixing the demo was starting to become counter-productive and they hit a ceiling
so they thought it'd be better to scrap it altogether and make their own gore engine
I LOVE the progression, and I think the zombie abyss is positively fucking inspired, especially that they'll just bite your ass
But man I was so hyped for this launch :<
so they can fix things, alot faster
it feels unresponive and random
But like, my wrists will still flip around using messer, I literally lost a character just now because my guy fell over standing still
the flail, when used in the other hand just glitches out
seeing how you describe abyss
play madness melee
i wanna see the game after the AMD fix cuz i have an AMD
the 3d madness combat game?
Alright anyway, I've whined enough i'm gonna put more time into it and ... eugh idek.
I think this launch might sink the game if they don't make it better very fast
imagine a renaissance game where you shoot guns in horseback wearing full gothic armor
its the next project of the devs after gta 6
O
of the half sword devs
wdym gta 7 is already out
another shitty indie game
didn't you know they're making gta 8 the prequel and gta 9 the sequel to gta 7?
and gta 7 is the prequel prequel to half sword
Grand Theft All of Em
this is gta 7
gta 8 leaked footage, Willie has Breached Containment
Why i'm not allosed to talk about the left leaning redneck :(
yeah they announced they're actively doing the AMD fixes
and performance fixes
a patch just got put out rn
fr?
Hooray now i can test out the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I played I feel like it was less a problem with performance issues but just pure gameplay, you can like actually walk outside of maps n stuff and for some reason in free mode you have nothing unlocked
nvidia when
nvidia will be crucified
i have an intel cpu
and if that's the reason why some have problems and others don't
Small tip, change your resolution to 1280x720
Or like 1600
ok ok
people are so exigent with games
like
stick to low graphics too eh?
my gpu started making helicopter sounds while playing hs
I'm running all high
i dont care much about graphics
It's just the resolution
alright
Literally
3000x1920 and asking 120fps min wtf wonder why you don't like the game
since the new patch shadows are so grainy omg
what are your specs?
i play at 400000x1920000, noob....
It's clearly AI since it has piss filter
....
rtx 3060 , ryzen 5 3600 and 32gb of ram
you will die and it will be marked as just
Halfsword: Mexico edition
wrong
holy shit
maybe i can run it then
yeah everyone can
just lower your resolution to 720
there's some weird voodoo shit going on there
that's the stable and playable part hehe
lowered my res to 1920x1080 night and day difference
time to come back to when i gamed on a ryzen 5 2500U 8gigs of ram
Im on a ryzen 5 5600x, rx 6750 gre 12gb and 32gb of ram it runs just fine at 1440p medium
i have an intel i dont have any frame gen
and somehow played monster hunter world and chivalry 2 on that
it takes out 5% of performance for every resolution higher than 720
soulstice is so poorly optimized
resolution taxes
i love how monster hunter world became my benchmark to see if a Game is poorly optimized or not
@molten urchin
If you want you can disable DLSS, I don't even think it's fully implemented
Btw, couple of tips
You can actually jump by holding the space bar, there's some good hidden loot around
Zip the tipmaster, holy cinema
whats the new kick button?
jump?
whaaat
Also, YOU CAN'T BUY EVERYTHING, a lot of stuff you gotta loot from enemies
me too.
I think almost noone knows about that
im buying it right NOOOW
i had to go to sleep like one hour ago but you guys are so funny
So
thank you
By you gotta loot from your enemies I specifically refer to armor
good night plant
just armor?
like that mordhau mode i hated
To loot enemies armor and clothes you grab them and then hold E or Q depending on which hand you grabbed them with
@sage token

ah i see
A lot of people complain that you can't access all items from the demo, but you can, you just gotta find them
Also
It's preferable that you don't kill everyone
theres an option to spare willies?
Every time you die you will have to face every single NPC that you've killed, now in a ghoullified version
thats metal
If you get killed during that, you lose your Willie
Just hold G when they are surrendering
Aight
Also you can put a blade on their necks to make them surrender
When they are on the floor, of course
Oh
MOST IMPORTANT

did they atleast fix the crash bug
During duos or threesomes ( i forgot the name ) you gotta hire mercenaries to come along with you
If not you'll be fighting alone, and probably get fucked
I see, yeah it'd be hell to fight multiple willies that are gunning for you
You can also use that mercenary character for a second player
There's coop, basically
Same, just press it once
Holding is jumping and pressing is kicking
Ooooo imma test the game out thanks for the tips
huh
you'll see on the top of the challenges a bar that indicates how close you are to ranking up
in order to rank up you gotta go through a tournament that will show up on the top, once you complete the tournament you'll rank up and in the ocassion that you die, you'll be able to make a character from any rank that you've previously unlocked
the tournament will show up once the bar is at 100%
Threesomes 😭
Phew thats a relief, thanks man!
good luck
Willie on willie crime
wth
dont fuck with us halfsword fans we beat our willies to death
i honestly thought about redownloading the tech demo
I just want fist fighting in the free mode and I want to be able to pick the map
Unplayable ass game
All willies look a like to me, I've got another beau, you see
ragamuffin
no? I am running a potato on medium quality and it runs perfectly fine
anytime i leave the jester screen my character gets removed and i need to make a new one, and i lose all the gear i had on them
whats happening
something ive noticed
slums morning runs fine
slums midday runs meh
slums evening and night run terible
i think its something to do with the lighting that sops up the framerate on that map
Runs fine on my mid rig too
Hey guys any news was away for like 5 hours
Devs need to sleep too i guess
i was in my phone and saw somebody sent a link that shows if your pc will do better with d12 and cant find it anymore does anybody have it by any chance
bruh
if you lose a leg in the abyss you are still just forced to sit there
ive been thinking for months that if you lose a leg in the abyss it should just end
instead of just leaving you on the floor to do nothing
You could just...try it
BROOOOOOO
ME AND TEH ABYSS ZOMBIE BOTH ARE MISSING A LEG
AND WE ARE JUST SITTING NEXT TO EACHOTHER FLOPPPING AROUND'
I woke up two hours ago for work, so i figure they must be up soon, given the time zone
Good morning
In bed atm
Good night then
Will do
I agree with this. Went from fine controls and being able to parry/deflect and now it feels like my mans got no arm strentgh to hold a weapon still
Went from being satisfying with some jank to floaty and kinda dull. Plus you have the balance of a toddler.
The demo wasnt even really an actual game, it was simply a display of the concept and allowing the people to try it out.
Comparing a tech demo to the full game isnt at all a fair comparison, and your complaining about a game that released barely 1/2 a day ago into EARLY ACCESS.
Yes there’s a lot of issues on the “release”, but this isn’t it.
Ok but why was THE CORE GAMEPLAY LOOP in the demo better than the paid version?
"wuh wuh early access" game has worst optimization ever since creation of computers
Should at least be able to improve upon a demo lol. Its going to be fine with updates, But this was not ready for a public release
The gameplay loop is pretty much the same
You fight in different battles to level up, and then you enter a final, harder match. (All be it, a WAY too hard match)
i beat the game before I learned about mercenaries lol
No, the core gameplay loop is parry and stab the other guy
Which feels considerably worse
If you actuslly try, you can get it to run ok on most systems if you tinker with it
And like I said, it JUST released not even a day ago and will be fixed over time likely
You can still stab people :/
game should be playable on base settings
I just learned about them bht im on to peasant so
I didn't say you can't, i said it feels much worse
Meh, I think stabbing is pretty good but I think blunt fighting weeks a lot less balanced, idk.
well you will have a much easier time than me then lol I was like wtf this game got hard as hell
No, games have settings for a reason.
Stabbing is just an example, the combat is completely off
I have a decent of and can run with most important things on high, and some things on low/mid with pretty good fps, even in that one map, tho this obv varies with system
keep riding the meat brother
what specs
Ironically, it runs fine for me, except for the slums ofc
There's a recommended system requirements, which is intended for playing at the default settings. For those with weaker computers, there are minimum graphics settings. However, this doesn't change the game's terrible optimization; it lags very, very badly.
Fair, j think stabbing is good, I feel that blunt force objects are SO overpowered half tbe time, and the other half they feel like plastic lol
recommended being 4070 for 2-6 people fighting game is criminal brother
Nvidia rtx 4060
Ryzen 5 7609
16gb ram
maxing out a custom bonking poleaxe is a helluva drug lol
For me, the weapon swings wildly to the side before getting into position
Don’t buy a pretty heavy game with a shit pc and wonder why it runs shit.
Also lower settings doesn’t always mean better performance, try raising some stuff and tinkering.
yea bro with those specs like 98% of games will run at 60fps on base settings
Yea we feel weaker too
your riding hard at this point brother
simple game taking up 4070
ngl i have better specs than this and i still have major performance problems sometimes, there absolutely does need to be some more optimization, regardless of if you're playing on a potato or something decent.
Yea, I even usually get 60 fps on high settings, but you know, when I don’t I don’t cry about it. Hell the first 10 mins of halfsword before switching to DX12 I was running like shit and I was disappointed sure, but I didn’t instantly go wining that the 10 minute old game that wasn’t even a full release had performance issues?
like 90% of people have worse than 4070 btw I can assure you
I got a 4080 and perf wasnt very good
I have a 4060
Also, it's pretty stupid to tell people to upgrade considering the prices right now
You literally cannot hop off, your whining the game that JUST released has performance issues, it’s already a performance heavy game performance issues are to be expected for a bit. You literally bought a game wjth lower than recommended specs, Thats less than a day old, loaded in, read a giant block of text that warns of issues, INCLUDING PERFORMANCE ISSUES, and then bitched when you had performance issues.
is it too much to ask to have a game playable
also its physics heavy which is cpu
in his fairness though, the demo and playtest have been out for over a year, and they have similar performance to this; it doesn't seem like they did a lot to fix it to me. that's all; doesn't matter that the official release is today, when the games technically been around for a lot longer.
or they could have just delayed the game again. releasing a broken product is not a neccessity
The Demo for me runs about 4 times faster than the EA
on god
I tested and the demo ran on my school pc with integrated graphics at 60fps 720p low lmao
hot damn
the store page for the EA also says "The game is fully playable, stable, and already highly enjoyable. While you may encounter occasional minor bugs, there shouldn’t be any major issues." which just isnt true, its got massively unstable frames, crashes often and had major issues.
has*
They can delay it a fucking year and it will still not release a “not broken product”, it’s early access you guys are complaining over a not even 14 hour old game runs bad when you probably have less than recommended specs and didn’t even try very hard tk adjust settings.
You prob loaded in, cranked it to max, lagged, lowered everything, still lagged, and started b it Ching.
lots of wild assumption there buddy
It runs maybe twice as good for me yes, but comparing a early access release to the tech demo isnt a fair comparison
It is absolutely a fair comparison
I think its fair theyve been cooking for mroe than 1 year
- demo wasnt optimized
Why not? The Tech Demo is supposed to be much less polished, where they are just trying to get things working as a proof of concept
And yet they are prob correct for 80% of the people complaining
i mean considering the tourney environment is in the same engine and in both games yea ut us, and the tourney environment runs significantly worse on teh EA
also the steam page says "The game is fully playable, stable, and already highly enjoyable. While you may encounter occasional minor bugs, there shouldn’t be any major issues." which is just false
And now, the actual game they are making has taken 3 steps backwards
Forget the optimization issues
The gameplay feels downgraded, and i feel that's the biggest sin here
yup
It’s to display the idea, and showcase it. Not a full game
Exactly, so why is it better than the actual game?
simple idea with 0 optimization vs polished release
Its absolutely fair to be angry that a tech demo seems more polished than early access of the same game tf you on about
I liked the gameplay a lot more, tho I can see it had slot of flaws
THIS
thats my biggest issue with the game atm. if they would have just slapped it all in the demo i'd be enjoying it easily twice as much
Because it’s a tech demo, they don’t have a whole ton thay needs polished.
You fall over for no reason, the gore is triggered too easily, heavy weapons clip through your character
You fall over because your running bare feet through mud :/
The Slums runs very poorly, I have an 6900 xt and a r7 5700x3d. The game require a freaking gtx 1060 for fluck sake. That's a really lame ad hominem to dismiss the point people are making when complaining about performance.
and falling enemy weapons will just slice you in half (never happened in the demo)
And none of these issues were present in the demo
Tabbed out and stood perfectly still, Willie fell over
to be fair this did happen in max gore demo
And they have ig knowledges this issue and stated their plan to fix it.
i only ever played max gore and never saw it
I think you are misunderstanding me... I'm ASKING WHY THE LESS POLISHED VERSION RUNS BETTER THAN THE FULL FLEDGED GAME!?!?!??!?!?! Less Polish (THE TECH DEMO) = They probably didn't even think of Performance, SO WHY IS IT MORE PERFORMANT?!?!
Christ to god dude the forest runs pisspoor for me
It would be perfect
blades, swords axes even knives for some reason just cut and dismember way easier in my opinion, i've played on both ends of the damage slider and it like makes no difference; sucks cause i want the meat to have a bit more resistance when i slice through it u know
must be lucky ive lost a good run more than once due to this haha
honestly it pmo that you just have people in general chat calling any sort of criticism "cope" "crying" or for the horrible optimisation "your pc is bad get over it"
Stepped on a plancon, didn't you?
hehe
ive stepped on plancons and had it stick to me but ive never stepped on blade and lost my whole ankle like the EA
playing the demo after all that trying EA and holy shit i forgot how much i love this gameplay loop
so simple and fast-paced
I kicked knives in the demo and still kept my foot
Because there’s less to it? This game has way more content ofc it runs worse.
Yes and the point is that they knew it and people wouldn't have minded if dev released the game a bit later to have the time addressing those problems. In fact they could have launch a demo of the new early access for people, so that they can learn what's bothering people before they buy.
Weapons actually swing how I want them too as well
and that config from modders-guild works on the demo too, so the game is buttery smooth for me
on a shitty office PC btw
so why* do games like the witcher and skyrim run at good fps if more content = less frames?
Is there something wrong with hit reg too cuz stg they just tap me not even in the head and I’m dead
not necessarily
wait is there actually multiplayer now?
Go to your library page for halfsword and click on the controller icon and select gamepad layout and apply settings. Also the person using mouse and keyboard also has to connect a controller for the game to recognize the 2nc player has a controller for remote play and set ur friend to player one and enjoy
Split screen
nope
No
it's splitscreen which is fair enough i think
that has to be my biggest dissappointment, i get wanting to build hype, and keep it a secret so the full release is a bit more exciting and spectacular, but i honestly wish we knew more about the development/why they did certain things if thats the reason they're doing them, etc.
They were polished more, not every game is the same smh. Give it a month and 80% of these issues will probably be fixed
or just pay like 30 people $10 to test the game throughly
Split screen Yee and it’s really fun, no real multiplayer tho.
they couldve just delayed the game asecond month and had a game at launch with 20% of the issues
impossible
how do the controls work? does one person need a controller
i was excited to try it with my brother using his steamdeck but rn we're both waiting for the performance patches
What specifically about the added content is hurting performance, draw calls, AI ticks, streaming, scripting, or system overhead? Because "more stuff" isn’t an answer by itself.
yea
ive heard that specifically slums map ruins performance because the game renders everything
even the faraway stuff
yea it does
I don’t think you understand, a lot of these issues probably were not even noticed since not everybody will have these issues
That's going to be easily fixed tho
what about the rest of the game? It's not just the slums, it's the game in general
so they didnt do their job of playtesting you are saying?
THEORETICALLY:
more stuff → more things loaded at once → worse performance
BUT ACTUALLY:
not all new stuff is actually loaded until it is being used → doesn't affect performance that much
Except almost everybody does?
I've learned that some content shown in the trailer was finally not in the game like switching stance if I remember correctly. I played it for 3h before asking for a refund si I didn't get the chance of experimenting everything but first of all the junky physic is what got me to refound the game, not even the perf issue. I straight up felt lied to honestly.
i'm sorry but, i think based on the reviews, the discussion here, and so on, that these are pretty universal problems
I dont think they even added the reverse grip stuff right?
on slums there are hills hundreds of meters away, with hundreds of trees on them, always rendered
I think i saw an NPC do it
Yeah me too
But i died too fast
absolutely, weapon handling feels way worse to me, is it tighter and easier to control? in some cases yes, but i feel like i have way less freedom, control, ease of movement and so on, even compared to the npcs now than i did in the demo, and you can still test the difference out right now.
You cannot expect playtesters to find everything, you guys expected a perfect release and you shouldn’t have. The game is playable, and you chose to get it.
i figured he meant ALL the new stuff that COULD be loaded (new weapons, armor, etc)
slums is actually a shit ton of stuff being loaded and rendered at once which is
shockingly
awful for your pc
we cant expect playtesters to find teh fact that the game runs like total dogshit on 3 out of the 4 maps in the game? now you are acting like they didnt play test AT ALL
good way to heat the room though
You can't expect the playtesters to find the issues that literally everybody found in the first 5 minutes?
with this virginia weather i'll take anything
Those must be some really shit playtesters
playtester that never even launched the game atp
if there's one good thing about EA, it's that i don't have to fight the FUCKING COMMONER BOSS
Playtesters with Nasa PC's
how easy is it to kill or dismember people in the EA compared to the demo?
did you know if you pause the game open the credits then hit escape itll unpause the game while keeping the credits on screen? they didnt even check that the menus wortk
Yea but not everybody will have them, one of my friends has NO performance issues and they have a even worse computer than me, and it’s a pretty fake assumption that most of these testers are not running a shit pc on the average.
Yes the big issues like slums background should have been noticed and fixed, but they weren’t. And now what, give it a bit more time and the game will likely get better.
now I think even more this might have been a rugpull
Too easy
I shown to a friend the crazy difference, streamed him 2 instances of gameplay; the demo vs the EA, I wanted to show hom just how much the weapon was maneuverable before compared to the EA. Like, swinging in front of an enemy just to get your weapon stuck in your back like if your arms were brocken. Even without playing he saw the difference. I felt all of it if I may say so.
dude i hate it when that happens
it would happen occasionally in the demo but its like every 5 minutes in the EA
for me 100% of the time in the demo if you used axe haha
best weapon
Honestly, it feels like a very early version of Exanima, when your hands would get stuck behind your back
For people saying there's "More content", it doesn’t matter if scalability works.
If lowest settings still run way worse than the tech demo, that’s a technical regression, not an early access excuse.
yea the axe had it sorta bad in the demo but i ddint encounter it as often as in the EA lol
Many games have this issue, just look at my winter cars release for example, multiple bugs that prevented progression completely were found and people bitched, not even a week later and they were fixed and the game was booming.
ohhh dude exanima comparison is so real
I think Exanima's arena mode is literally the perfect comparison for the current gameplay loop
It's impossible for the devs to not have noticed these issues especially considering they ran a closed test for people volunteering. The Slums is so badly optimized it's 100% sure they noticed. They work on it too often
my summer car has even smaller dev team than half sword (one person)
well
There’s MANY differences from 10, hell I’ll be super lenient and say 100 consistent players and 10000 instant new players
my winter car
that's not the point i'm trying to make, i'm just saying that there is absolutely a large, vocal majority of people here and in steam reviews with pretty universal issues/problems with the game, both involving performance, the direction the game was taken in, changes made to gameplay and so on. i'm not trying to necessarily say that there are bad or good things, i'm just pointing out that it would be false to assume that these aren't affecting the majority of the playerbase, obviously there will be outliers on both sides, people who have fatal crashes and people where the game runs perfectly.
more reason to believe its a rugpull
I love Exanima, and i want to love this EA too
create good demo -> wait year -> release broken shit and run away with the money
Exanima looked fun but the controls were really confusing so I couldn't get into it
It's still in my library but I haven't touched it
yea and when issues this prevalent are appearing this consistently it raises question of if there was ANY playtesting
Yes, and it’s very likely these will be fixed pretty quick with time
I happened to start with it, so it feels very comfortable to me
they had people sign ndas for playtesting I tink
one can hope lmao (i do too, not trying to dog you sorry.)
if its a rugpull it would be the most insane disappointment in gaming history
also outside of all the other stuff, i just dont like how they lied to us in the trailer. where is our pit or narrow passage map?? or reverse grip?
Yeah I'm sure it would've been better if Half Sword demo didn't spoil me
It's like going back to Fallout 3 after playing Fallout 4 the whole time
that doesnt change a thing of why such blatant issues were still prevalent in the game at laucnh, either the devs didnt want to hear wha thte playtesters had to say or the playtesters didnt playtest
Same shit they said about MWC to remind you, it’s so annoying every time a game releases and oh my god, it’s buggy? People review bomb it and instantly start accusing the dev teams of shit, and hell half the time within a month a majority of tbe issues are fixed.
so why didnt ehy delay the game a month to fix the issues everyone found in the first 5 minutes after launch?
We don't know because we have no history with these developers yet. They released a demo, but not the game and we don't know how they will behave toward it. We can't assume either that they won't or will update as soon as we expect them to do.
in more than 12hr only 1 patch and a vague announcement has been given though
i think it's more a problem of a small playtester/small hardware sample size compared to the total amount of different systems and users now using it, i feel like devs consistently use a 'couple' of machines and so inevitably there are problems waiting to be discovered with a much larger 'sample group' of users that now exist playing this game; it'd be pretty insane if there was NO playtesting, ngl
If everything gets fixed I'll be sure to leave a good review
Because they did not have diverse playtesters before
even on high specs many people lag
4080 4090 7900xtx you call it
Yea, it had a lot of issues and these should have been fixed, but they weren’t. You cannot expect a good functional game for a release this new
games used to release finished you know
isnt that crazy
You absolutely should expect a functional product for something you paid for
LMAO "this new" and its a game that been iterated on for 3 years with none of these issues appearing since 3 years ago just to suddenly re appear
litterally the whole chat ✌️😭
4 years almost
itch io was in 2022
Good times
yea lol and they already ironed oout all these isues years ago just for them to reappear on the EA launch
oh absolutely, i lag and i got a freakin series5000 card, it's ridiculous, and i'll absolutely clown on the devs for this one too, but i mean, cmon they're not a triple a studio with 100s of people backing them up/making design decisions and playtesting and so on, i feel like a little leeway is deserved, though they should've absolutely expected it given how popular the demo and playtest was. i think they weren't expecting as many people to pick it up as has happened.
Ok dude with all due respect look at how heavily the game has changed between the demo and EA
The game is completely fucking different
they added menus and environments bro
