Remap the button in PS4 settings.




The Xbox Elite controller would do wonders in this game!

I was going to ask on here if anyone has played it on pc with the Elite Controller, assigning dodge, guard break, and canceling to those back triggers seems like it'd be pretty awesome.

I played with the elite via my cronus on ps4 earlier and while its good i think im too used to the dualshock for this game. I would have to "re-learn" it.

I had
LTrigger as RUN
Left Paddle as lock on
Right Paddle as Guard Break

And both sticks set to AGRESSIVE.

One issue I have with my controller is the dead zone on the right stick when in guard. It's too much, I have to push it nearly half way in any direction before guard triggers.

The guard break timing is so late that I don't see the issue with moving your finger from the the analog to the break button. I bet most people messing up guard break are doing it way too early.
 
I couldn't perform a dodge block if my life depended on it. Deflects with assassins are fine, but for some reason I couldn't consistently land a dodge block. I'm almost certain they nerfed her sweep too because I don't remember it being so easy to evade. I'm not giving up on Valkyrie yet either, she was amazing in a previous test and I loved playing her.
I'm on ps4, so never got a chance to try her out there. Maybe they will revert whatever they did slightly.

Still trying to work out the exact timing of the dodge block myself. Seems like I can only really manage to hit it properly and get the bleed like 25% of the time, and get punished the rest. Obviously not good enough to rely on as part of my normal toolkit for now.

I'm getting a cronus soon. How reliable is it for competitive gaming? input lag and all that.

For Honor, then, is the best secret fighting game around. It's a fighting game disguised as a medieval slash-them-up, but it's a fighting game nevertheless. Ubisoft won't want to market it that way, because fighting games are for nerds, right? They'll want to market it as this kick-ass greatest medieval warriors in history all get together to carve each other up in a fantasy video game deathmatch. The truth is, For Honor is Soul Calibur evolved, Street Fighter on a big old battlefield rather than an, err, street, and Mortal Kombat with knights in shining armour and vikings who chuck you off cliffs. And I'm loving it.
 
Anyone else having any audio issues? I'm playing single player and I can't hear the dialogue, just all the ambient noises really loud. It's kind of comical seeing this huge battle field and all I hear is the gentle breeze and some faint swords clashing, but I'd like to hear what the characters are saying.
 
Faction War Updates:

Anyone know what the green plus and red minuses are per faction...is that how its trending at the moment?

It cant be based on the previous update because samurai lost like 8 territories and right now it says +5

If I buy the game digital now would I still get the pre-order bonuses? Got really interested in this game out of nowhere and would like to have everything.

Talk to me gaf..yay or ney? Steam concurrent seem pretty decent

Do you like complex multiplayer games the rely heavily on execution, reaction and prediction? You will probably like this game.

Otherwise, I can't guarantee anything. You may find you love it or play 1 round and decide you loathe it.

The main thing is that players get invincibility frames against the sweep if they dodge, which they can do easily after a bash. Pretty sure that didn't happen before. Does dodge even give invincibility frames against any other character?

I think we talked about it in another thread..i really like it but that other one people were suggesting, Brook something, looks good
Too. From the cronus...i dont notice any lag but im also old. Mapping right trigger to the right paddle has been a blessing for BF1 and R6.

Also..big THANKS for suggesting the PS4 remap option. I totally forgot you could do that. Square mapped to R3..Good to go!

I'm trying to tech it instantly like SF/MKX, I can't get it down. Very strange timing

Tech it once they're up in your face, not when you first see the guard break icon. I believe if you do it to early it locks you out of getting out of it.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding how it works now vs before, or what you are asking, but doesn't dodge always have invincibility frames? That's how dodge works in general I thought, invincibility frames as as well as the movement to get you out of harms way. I mostly mained raider in the alpha / beta, and dodges would gain invincibility to go through my unblockable zone attack (if they dodged into it), figured it worked the same for the sweep.

Are there support roles/abilities? I was wondering if its all get up in your opponents face and get all stabby or if there is a role that hangs back. Not looking for the cookie cutter Tank/Healer/DPS model but more of how team tactics play out.

Dodge gives i-frames on all characters as far as I know. I'm sure they are very small on heavies but they still have them.

Hm.

Haven't read anything about this game before, really. Just now popping up on my radar. So what's the impressions yet?

Yay, nay or maybe?
 
114k on PC so far.. yup this game will have a lasting community for a while.. even with only 20k.

It all depends. This game will be fun as long as matchmaking continues to pair casuals vs casuals. The moment casuals start disappearing and getting matched up with above average players and get decimated because they can't get a single attack to land, the population will plummet.

I might be alone here, but this is the worst story mode I've played in recent memory.

I understand that it's an MP focused game but even Siege is excellent by comparison. Overall I think it will do more harm than good.

Break the pots! L1 the spots! Some lazy shit.

You're right. Honeymoon phase and everything. Nobody is going to have any love left for the trash campaign in a few weeks.

But I guess having a bad SP and lower review scores makes games still more marketable than having no SP and higher review scores.

Is there any gaf community I can join? (Xbox one)

We'll, thats kind of true, but at least there's always an animation of your character avoiding the attack during a dodge. With the sweep, the spear can physically connect with the other player and not do anything. Maybe it works the same way with every other character and I just haven't noticed, but it always looked like the animations were accurate when it comes to dodging. I guess I need to take a closer look.

It does, it's why every character can dodge the Raider unblockable even if it passes right through them.

Why can the Shugoku one shot people occasionally with the back breaker and how is that balanced? Everyone plays him in 2v2
you have to dodge to the left or right. He walks a bit forward so doging backward is a no go.
The back breaker is dangerous. But if he misses with it it actually damages him and he loses stamina. It also puts him in a vulnerable state.
