I hate how janky this game is, doesn't feel good to play

A fight that looks decently like a fight.

I have unfortunately, fought every single man woman and child who still plays mordhau. It’s only about 3-500 people.

Yeah I can attest that the adrenaline rush you get in dark and darker starts to drop off after 1000+ hours and then you focus on how bad the combat is. I put a petition titled combat overhaul on their website for those reasons you mentioned.

Mordhau has way more weapons and ways to do combat

180s and 360s will only make you look weak in front of experienced players, and it was this man's downfall. Fundamentals and tactics will always outplay fanciness and creativity in this game. However on TO? Shit anything goes

Can you shut the fuck up with your cussing?

Glaive is trash??? I strongly disagree because it has probably the mist messed timings: extremely fast slash release, mid overhead release and long ahh stab release with a huge window to land a hit make this weapon hard to get used to when you go against it

Dungeonborne hits the exact bill of what youre talking about. Its like dark and darker with sick melee combat. Unfortunately the devs have spiralled the game into a terrible state currently but it is a great game.

What sword are you using

Nice essay breddeh. Didn't know u had it in you

Chivalry timbers 🥶🥶

only problem is I've seen some scummy players playing these

Good vid! Got to know about many new games!

❤

Normal sword is the best weapon

Sad they abandoned chivalry 2 to focus on no more room in hell 2 smh

Im suprised bro didn’t turn into two Gips when he died

I have 1500 hours in tarkov, what really made me stop was that they refuse to seriously take steps to remove the biggest thing killing their true fan base which is cheaters killing the game because they just ban them and they buy a new standard account so it's profitable for them to not do anything about it

Anybody know what kind of swords they're using?

I was actively losing my shit. As someone who played the 360 version WAY at the end of its life and got to enjoy some goofy tomfoolery, followed by the LOVE for the chaos and absurdity of the newest release it ASTOUNDS me someone, let alone two people could have that much control over their weapons. I have alot to learn.

my friends did a 3v3, lost in seconds and just quit, called it awful, never to return

did i read fent?

Boring... Atack, block,attack,block. Learn how to move better. Fight was way longer then needed.

"Looks like when they made this fella, they forgot to put in the quit."

Chiv shill stay mad, no more room in hell chads always come out on top

Animations are so slow it's really weird

I never heard of chiv before it was free on epic, I can't believe how such a game is off the radar

He did not get a blade on you failed to parry the attack completely. Not judging just get the tip away from you before you press the attack

This the type of combat i need in elder scros

o7

it takes guts to master this weapon

The mordhau devs breed toxic troll players and this will always kill a community from within

not even a single hit damn.

As someone who goes back to 2005 AOC Beta, comp player and alpha tester for most of the games in the genera over the last 2 decades, I am not sure I agree that this will ever be mainstream. The main reason is that not only have Devs changed the business model from Pay for Complete game on release to paid early access, free-to-play/micro transactions and then to the fact that gamers have changed as well. The two main issues with this is that game devs have also given up or forgotten what worked in previous games and game modes to players being far younger, a bit lazy, short attention spans and have little to no knowledge of what was available in game play and previous games to them playing games. Additionally, with the older games 10v10 or larger battles were much easier to coordinate till e-sports game along with the 5v5 meta which in turn wittled down melee slasher comp from 10v10 Team OBJ or CTF down to 3v3 or 5v5 dueling matches. But on a social aspect, I would argue that younger players don't even have 5 friends in real life any more and friend building skills outside of gaming have diminished because screen time and followers are more important than making real friends. This of course trickled down into gaming when there used to be massive gaming clans to now nothing but smaller 5v5 size clans or teams, at best. A short example of the main Dev issues: there were game modes in AOC(2007) with objective based destructable walls and objects, being able to move tables and the like to manually build barricades, and having to physically push a battering ram with the player model to get it to move. All of that was abandoned or had pre-scripted actions more like cut scenes and stand in a circle to trigger an event instead of manually doing something. Some of these things did not come back around till almost 10 years later and some not at all. When comparing games and game modes, I would argue that AOC had some superiour maps with some high level strats for TO, Chivlary 1 were mostly decent but forgot what made AOC so great till the mapping contest which added some even better maps. Mordhau tried batttle royalle but it was poorly implimented, maps were ok but grew stale over time, however they did a really great job with horde mode and demon horde mode as they actually evolved that. (too little too late but TBS is equally as guilty). Comparing Chiv 2, the maps are far better than Mordhau but with their horrible private server rollout and lack of an SDK and even shutting down the private groups that made their own launcher and maps along with Chivstats and Polehammer.net, TBS really dropped the ball there and now they are done with it. Chivalry 2 is an example of dumbing down a game to make it easier for supposed player retention but when looking at Steam Charts a few years after release between the different games, the player numbers initially stablized (like Chiv 1, Mordhau, and now Chiv 2) to just a few thousand daily players. If you look at the long term trend, that is pretty standard for the genera. Maybe Mobius which is more focused on a 5v5 competitive game might fit the more mainstream team based games might break through, Renown might as well as it is more Rust like, but I really don't see a medieval melee slasher ever becoming mainstream. Chiv 1 had it's chance and blew it too many times to get into. Mordhau blew it as well with not releasing TO first and woefully underestimated the number of servers so when those 60k players couldnt get into a server then only had like 4 maps to play, they simply got bored and left. I just cannot imagine a melee slasher to ever become mainstream unless it is dumbed down and turned into some fortnite/pubg clone of some type with lots of seasons and reasons to pay for micro transactions. (all of which suck by the way)

i will say chivalry 2 is the only game that actually very suits me, the mechanic isnt that hard to understand, not too grindy to unlock weapons, no need to play with friends to be enjoyable, no need to be very good to enjoy it either, i used to play everyday for an hour or two each. i still keep the game, sometimes return just for some smacking

Chiv could be more mainstream with more game modes but I think no matter what it’s hard to gain new players with that steep of a skill gap, especially with newer games being especially easy

stridahs you should check out this guy called ironsword hes pretty insane and check out ovrdth

A few modes for chivalry that might interest a wider player base: A zombie or fantasy enemies horde mode (like Killing floor), team up with friends, kill computer enemies. A rogue like mode where you and friends (or strangers) team up, complete stages, get buffs (similar to Vermintide). Mods, lots of fun and stupid goofy mods like Chivalry had in the past. An actual campaign/story mode for your character with rpg elements. Seriously, chiv2 had a lot of potential to add those modes, but no, I guess TB decided to go dumb.

Bet you haven't been in the Esports industry. There are basic concepts that 'core players' would like to stay for long time. Compared with Esports giants like Csgo, Dota2, Valorent, whatever esport game u could have, no company provides hotbugs rather than hotfixes, or downgrade rather than updates. The problem is not the Chivalry 2, but the company who failed to run it well. Let's see a part of those concrete failures of Chivalry: Rubber band internet connection issues. Hit registration issues. Failed anti-cheat function. Very slow updates. Unpolished weapon hitboxs. Lack of servers. Etc. You cannot image a Dota 2 or Csgo tournament allows a bug to ruin the whole match. Torn Banner ignores those basic rules and threw their money into next game immediately, so u cannot expect any reward from Chivalry 2.

I like taking the war club and spam overheads like I grabbed the Hammer in Donkey Kong

I would love Hunt showdown year 1455. 😊

Читер натуральный, и задницей тоже блоки ставишь😂

the only issue with a chiv 2 dark and darker is what would be the point of looting better gear if you are a decent player? like a 1k hours player in starter gear would wipe the floor with a new player that has on BIS. know i would still play the shit out of a game like that because i want to be that 1k hours god but still it is a major issue and it one of the reasons the dark and darker devs sated why the combat is simple. so gear is the main drive not necessarily pure skill. but i agree that a dark and darker with a ton of skill expression would be awesome.

I never heard of Chiv until it was free on Epic in June. I couldn't believe something like this existed and I've been having so much fun. With a little more marketing and polishing the mechanics it could become huge.

My whole complaint about Chivalry 2 is not enough modes. No option for community servers with custom maps that download before each round. Give us features, watch your game be huge. They could have raked in cash off the community while they build their failure of a survival game. Games that allow modding in the right way that also include console in this area are 10x better off to succeed. There is a reason quake 2 was so popular. Assetto Corsa is an example the game is over 10 years old. I'm level 1000 in chiv and I just want something to do. It's still my main game.

All chiv needs is a tdm and a voice chat with heavy marketing from streamers, and it would do very well

Chivalry could have been a main stream game if more effort were to put in the game. Especially with a offical ranked 1v1, 3v3 servers would have hyped the game when they had the chance. Eventually ranked on to when enough player base have been reached. Plus with enough playerbase they could have do first person ranked and third person ranked as well. Ranking system attracts so many people nowadays and gives the already playing ones more reason to stay in the game, keeping the game alive. They also could have fix so many other server issues and bugs, which costs time and money but will be rewarded by the playerbase in the end. I swear nowadays game studios cannot gain more money because they are awfully greedy about it and basically want to do easy money which makes them gain actually less then their true potential. Studio with listening it's playerbase and developers would actually got much popular and gain lots of money but they're too greedy and ignorant to heed us.

I think Chivalry will always be a Love or Hate game, I have some friends say they suck and just didn’t like the theme.

Nope IMO it will NEVER appeal simply because it’s medieval sword fighting. If they try to casualify the game up More than it already it is it Will Ruin it.
