Zzzz. Same old shit.
I think it's too early to worry about it. We need to see how the game evolves.
You can still bait people.
For example, as a Warden, I can fake a shoulder bash to get them to dodge on reaction if I see they can do it consistently, and then use a zone attack to roll catch.
Or with Assassins, they usually prefer to dodge and counter instead of parrying, so a feint will give me a parry until they learn.
Hell, I'd say it's too early to call anything "high level". Getting used to the base mechanics and being able to parry attacks is hardly high level, it's just using what the advanced tutorial teaches you.
Who knows, maybe it will end up being a problem that requires patching, but let people figure it out first.
Sadly, I couldn't play because it wasn't available in my region, so I have to wait the reviews.
It's really not a good idea to ask people to review an online game before it's online. Ubi had every faith in the game, as evidenced by their multiple demos. It just needs to be experienced with other people.
I don't think the beta was region locked at all.
Well, I got a code and when I tried the site just gave me a "the beta isn't available in your region" message.
I also want to wait and see how the player base will settle before deciding if I get PC or PS4 version. I got Battlefront on PC and that game is just dead.
It was an open beta, you just had to download it from Steam or Uplay, you were probably trying a code from a previous, closed beta.
It's because the game is a multiplayer game in essence, so reviewing the game before launch is usually a bad idea.

Agreed. If the devs start patching it so early and often based on every bit of feedback blurted out, it's going to be a trainwreck.
Out of interest, why do people keep using the word 'meta' when describing the game mechanics? That's not meta, surely?

Yep, seems pretty clear that if your buying and/or waiting for reviews for single player purposes, it's probably not a good purchase.
Ubisofts last big massive hit, a multiplayer focused title, R6: Siege is sitting at a 74 meta.

Did they change how guard break works from the beta to full release?
I can't get past the guard break advanced tutorial, doesn't matter if I try to guard break just as the guy starts the animation, half way through, near the end, etc...

Parry seems to be a bit harder for me to pull off as well...

I think something changed too because i usually hit square the moment i see their guard break and nothing was happening..
It looks like you have to wait a split second or see them touch you first.

I was pretty good counter guardbreaking during beta. Something is off on the timing now. I'm missing 20-30% that I KNOW would have been successful in the past. I think I will have to go into practice and get down the new timing if its not a bug cause it definitely feels different.
I don't think so.
You have to guard break just after they grab you. If you do it before they connect with you, I think the game will register it as you trying to grab them. And the start up of your grab must be a grabbable state.
I find it to be a very short window really, because I'll either anticipate the grab attempt, see the shield icon and immediately try to break the throw... too early, and get grabbed. Mashing the guard break button does not work if you start too early.
It's a lot like parrying, but much harder imo. You have to wait a split second. (The button placement doesn't help either, because my thumb often catches on the PS4 right analogue stick).
Says nothing in the patch note about any changes

Is steel the thing you buy heroes for?
I've got 2K so far and played 4 missions in SP.
He's asking if it can be used for multiplayer

You get 2K for starting the game and doing the basic tutorial.
Steel is the only in game currency.,good for everything.
Oh okey, well now I got 2060. So maybe you get like 20 for each mission

You also get another 1500 for doing the advanced tutorial

God my skills has turned to shit T_T Can't parry anymore, let alone deflect.
Also I really should kick the habit of holding the R3 stick to block, when just flicking it in the direction is enough =_=

This is slightly worrying:
For honor digitally only has the deluxe edition at minimum for sale
The standard edition doesn't release until April
So if you want the game digitally on console you HAVE to drop money on the more expensive edition
Seems like a really dodge business practise withholding the standard edition for two months.
I'll spend the extra tenner as I have no willpower but I can't help but think it's an incredibly shady practise

Practice the Guard Break Counter, it's so important in the game. Also, I found it miles better to assign Guard Break to L1, instead of Square.
Wow, really? I didn't know that. This is fucked up, for sure.
Wow that's shitty.
Is there any statement on this?
Yeah changing the controls would be nice.
Taking off a finger to guard break really is shitty

Make sure it isn't a Ubisoft code? They do love giving out codes that you have to enter on their website to then generate a PSN code
I think you might have to use a VPN to activate the game once on Uplay
Sadly it is a PSN code. Waiting for Ubisoft support. Wouldn't surprise me if the PSN store won't accept the codes until the update tonight.
This isn't true. I bought the standard edition digitally.

How are servers holding up so far? Any connection issues?
Thanks you lucky bastards.... off to work then I'll be picking up my copy and join you on the battlefield tonight!
Edit: Team Samurai btw.... I had to randomly choose my faction because I wated to be in all of them! hehe... It would be cool to know how many players have chosen which faction.

Are you on console? On PC, sadly, you can change mouse+keyboard keys but cannot rebind controller keys. I have an X-Box One controller and the Windows 10 app for managing keys only works with the damn Elite controller.
Sadly, having experimented with different button combinations quite a bit already, I'm not sure it's possible to swap buttons around such that it feels right. The issue with For Honor's controls is broadly that it has too many things you need to be able to do without ever taking your fingers off either analogue stick.
To free up your left finger for L1, you have to set your guard to toggle. I've been using toggle guarding for quite a while now, and I still don't feel used to it. I accidentally press it, which leaves me defenceless, and I'm incredibly sluggish when it comes to releasing guard mode if I want to sprint at an opponent. With L2 as Guard Toggle, and L1 as Guard Break, I do find guard breaking easier, but I'm still messing it up fairly frequently and it is getting me killed fairly frequently.
As much as it feels weird to have a button you're holding at almost all times, I kind of understand why Ubisoft have that as the default setting. It feels natural and, while you are holding it a lot, good play requires moving in and out of guard, something that seems more intuitive with hold rather than toggle.
The best solution, for this game, by far, will be controller paddles like those you can fit onto an Xbox One Elite controller.

I agree. I just remapped some of my elite buttons/paddles. Gonna see how it is.

Really? How?
I should say I'm in the UK in case that plays its part. On the UK marketplace I get a message telling me it won't be released until April 10th
Also am talking about the Xbox store
