Worth the money?

Hello /forhonor! I am an avid Dark Souls player and like the looks of combat in this game. My only question is will it be worth $60-$100 for a game I will likely only be playing multiplayer on? I got my time out of R6S, but I had multiple friends that played as well. Does anyone think this game will be big on communications/ competitive play? (Strategizing before a push, flank routes, callouts, etc.) Also I'm a little worried about PC performance at launch, because of past Ubi games. Thanks.

Definitely depends on the person if multiplayer alone is worth the buy. I'm fairly sure MP will be the majority of the content for this game, though.

I'm pretty certain ranked duels will be the biggest form of competitive play, and no friends are required for that. Dominion probably won't have that much communication unless you get your friends to play with you. Can't speak for PC performance, I'm a console pleb.

So... I'd try to get into the next beta test and decide for yourself if you think it'll be worth it. I'm buying it almost for sure, as it scratches an itch that I've wanted for a very long time.

Will definitely try to get into the beta. I have that same itch my friend.

The only game mode included at the moment that requires some form of 'stategy' is Dominion, and it isn't really about flanks callouts or anything like that. The combat is KIND OF like Dark Souls, but at the same time very different.

As for performance, I didn't run into any issues playing on PC. (The only major glitch I had was due to the controller inputs messing up.)

Thanks for the info on PC, most likely playing with a controller so hopefully they fix that 😬

i sure hope one day the players who stick with it will be on their mics communicating and playing with good team work.

but during the alpha, almost no body (on ps4) was communicating or using the in-game quick-chat feature.

Yup I will agree, been wanting a competitive 3rd person melee game.

PC performance is absolutely no issue. Even in alpha, this game's optimisation is almost on par with that of Battlefront. :)

Thanks a lot! Just brightened my mood after a hard football practice. Hahaha

I recommend you get yourself 100 Uplay Action Points (the in-client currency that you normally get rewards for spending).

There is an option to get a 20% discount on For Honor if you spend these. For about 48 € it is definietly worth it.

Hell, I probably would pay that amount for the content that was in the alpha. Sure, at the moment the customisation and number of maps lack a bit of variety, but the core gameplay alone are worth it.

Wow I didn't even think of that. Thanks for saving me some money if I decide to purchase it!

No problem ^^

I would have waited a couple of months myself, but then I saw that option. Lets just say that the alpha withdrawl system was ,and still is, going strong. :P
