[@thoriated]

I remember buying direct from the developer, early access version .7ish. Put a lot of hours in. Just played recently, although I spend more time in the Warband version now. When I first played the demo, I hated it. The combat was too complicated to pick up quickly. I kept coming back though, and as I got better, and my character leveled up, I got hooked. That seems to be how I initially react to my favorite games. I hate them at first because there is too much to learn, but I keep coming back, figure it out, and get hooked. Haven't bought Bannerlord yet, but I'm sure I will.

“The tutorial teaches you practically nothing” sweet

[@fcnl]

The game (assuming it's somewhat like old Mount and Blade games) doesn't need to teach you anything. That's part of why it's so great. You're dropped into the middle of a world and it's up to you to shape that world how you want it.

Vanilla Morrowind crashes constantly. Vanilla Oblivion crashes pretty regularly. Skyrim crashes regularly.

The fact that you use "feminazi" unironically leads me to believe that you were being a sperg in your posts and that's what led to your ban.

I'm happy to tell you that by a stroke of luck, the relationship ended just as this game released, and I now have many well-spent hours in this game.

I was a bit pissed that they released this game right as my work season started as well, but I still have the weekends to play it. For new players, ya, they should probably wait.

Here's where I'm out a with Bannerlord. Being a fan of M&B with about a thousand hours in it, when I heard that this came out I went straight to the steam store. I bought it and waited at my computer for it to download. I was extremely happy to see that they kept the factions very similar to the old ones and was excited when I jumped in. The UI is a drastic improvement and it feels like I'm playing a new game overall. The graphics are so much better, the town's are more detailed, same with the cites. Recruiting is slot easier, the AI actually have a brain. When it comes to fighting, formations and commands are listed out so much better. Even in sieges, the ability to build siege equipment and attack with it is somthing brand new and awsome! The game giving us the ability to also let it upgrade our companions for us is so much more relaxing and the loot from battles is awsome! There is also cleans and gangs which add a lot into the game. This all being said, I shared a similar experience when I first played the game and found a glitch or two. It was a bit disheartening but it was workable. I'm excited to see where the community will take Bannerlord when it comes to mod development and so on! It's worth buying!

[@theindiedetective]

Total agree. The first few glitches I found have already been patched out. TaleWorlds is doing it right. I find the siege defense a bit disappointing; when I try to command units to parts of the wall they form clumps, so I just let the AI command take over while I throw fire pots (which is the coolest add ever). One major fix they need is faction balance; I have seen Vlandia roll half the map twice without my help, which basically forces me to side with them to reach game end.

play the multiplayer it is also really fun

[@asadd2]

> Warning: Wall of Text ahead < This is the only game Ive ever seen where the Singleplayer and the Multiplayer have their separated fandoms. Sinpleplayer people dont play multiplayer much, multiplayer people dont play singleplayer much. Both of them have their own big mods and different preferences. While singleplayer is very tactical and rpg-ish, the multiplayer is very pvp-based. The mods are hands down the best thing about it. While the game itself delivers a great fundament, its the mods that will make you stick around for longer than you expected (personally stuck to this game for over 7(!) years because of two multiplayer mods). So how's the game for veterans? There's both excited faces and sad faces. Excited because the game is in its core the same thing (which is exactly what people wanted) but has a lot of nice and clever improvements. Sad because its still kinda buggy and unfinished despite the development taking so agonizingly long. Singleplayer still lacks a lot of content, features and fixes, multiplayer is ok-ish and improved, but the combat system still needs quite some work and polishing to be an as crisp and rewarding experience as the warband combat was (also, theres a lack of gamemodes, we still need duel servers, battle servers and overall servers where friendly fire is activated). Should you buy or rather wait? You can do both Id say. You can already get quite a solid experience now, but have to keep in mind that its early access, theres still a lot that needs to be fixed and it will take at least a year to get it done. But you can also wait and check back later for release to get the ultimate sweet first experience once you dive in, I already envy those who have never played the game and will get their first experience at launch once this leviathan is polished and ready to drink from skulls. What gives me hope is that the devs actually listen to the feedback and improve the game based on it. Compared to september 2019 the combat has become so much better and so many other things have gotten a great improvement aswell, the team is currently hotfixing and shooting out patches like crazy (good job!). The only thing you need is good patience though, Taleworlds is slow and it will take quiiite a while until you get the game that you wanted. But, well, in the end, you actually get the game that you wanted. Rock on, Taleworlds!

This game is not for everyone. Although it's very fun and one of my favorite games. It has it's frustrating moments like when you lose your entire army that you have been working on for hours in a single battle. Or when an arrow comes out of nowhere and just one shot you in the head. If you rage quite alot, this game will not be for you. It takes alot of time to build an army and your player's skills. But once you do build a massive army and you start taking on everyone or when you take your own first castle, you feel proud and some kind of accomplishment.

[@charlst8544]

Darkyne LP when it comes to middle earth I kinda only like the third age. I’m not super hyped for first age. But I can go whit second age. I just like to ride around middle earth and se the characters from the books like. But I know that many of the elves characters lived in all the ages

I was waiting for a negative review so I could comment "I will drink from your skull!" but yeah. Mount and blade is too good even in early access XD

[@ernavill3261]

Yes like evidenced by the tons of people who responded to Talesworld posts, saying that they can't even play the game as it keeps crashing on startup...

[@vargrantvargrextends129]

@@ernavill3261 yeah I hope these tons of people get the patches they needed as soon as possible. Cause tons of people can open it too and and can confirm its working better thatn fully released games *coughs* *ubisoft*

[@filipecordeiro7109]

@@ernavill3261 well it is an EA game so thats expected, it sucks really but it happens, the game itself is great certainly has the potential to be incredible but for now its still a revamped warband since most new things are disabled for at least a few months

Bannerlord has shit optimization and disgusting performance and something dodgy is going on with gpu and cpu usage

[@klai399]

@@mme9646 I agree. Even if it is fun it is still shit at optimization

Great review! I've never played Mount & Blade before, and this is exactly the kind of review I needed after seeing it in my store queue.

[@nadimsarieddine9835]

I've bought the early access and from what I can see, It's alright. Being a warband veteran myself I am excited for It but just like this video said, I still feel like there's some/ many things missing, of course It's early access so yeah. All I can say is, If you watched enough videos about the gameplay and really really enjoy It, then buy It because what you saw is what you'll get, If you're not that impressed with the limited access so far, then wait a while for more updates/ patches or launch.

[@bobbys.4904]

I've played about 49 hours of the game so far and I have to say it's amazing. I have experienced framerate drops to as low as 5fps for periods of 10+ minutes but most of the time it tends to be on a consistent 30+fps

Me and my friend heard about mount and blade bannerlord coming out when we were 15 years old... I'm 20 now

[@panchovilla7580]

Lol that's nothing. We waited for FF15(or what we thought was 13) to come out for like 10 years. Kingdom Hearts 3 we waited like 15 years. 5 is nothing.

The first one looked interesting, maybe I'll jump in on this one.

[@radcow]

Give it a go even if its only to support more games like this

[@2wenty7RC]

Tech With Sean I never played the 1st one, but I bought this after watching a couple live streams and honestly, I love it! It’s sooo good so far and I’m only 4 hours in

[@yukiduki2909]

@@2wenty7RC good to hear you are enjoying it, I've played warband and honestly loved it. The developers love their game and will make this even better every update. I'm having a blast playing bannerlord already got 16 hours in haha

[@2wenty7RC]

YukiDuki man I gotta play some more! Because I hadn’t played the other ones and the lack of any real tutorial for mechanics etc I spent the majority of my 4 hours figuring things out, and then I found the arena tournaments and totally fell in love, that part alone is awesome

[@yukiduki2909]

@@2wenty7RC haha they are a lot of fun yeah, and that's just a very small part of the game, there's so much to it! Have fun in your quest to conquer calradia(the world of Mount and blade), by the way you can conquer all the cities, castles, and villages haha

[@RB-dl8gr]

I’ve always wanted to play games like this. Where you can go to war medieval style and use actual real time strategy, setting up flanks, placing archers, etc. Will give this a try.

[@mekase1337]

Remember that the game is in early access. There will be bugs, missing features and so. But still the game is amazing. Can't wait for the best version.

[@OzoneGrif]

I did play all Mount & Blades in the past, and I can tell this one is way more polished than the previous games and it's only Early Access. There is high hopes this will be, by far, the best of the franchise.

[@IDONTGETTHEPOINT]

I am loving Bannerlord so much. Especially the improved combat AI. This AI will do plenty of moves that I see online players do, like feint attacking and waiting to strike when your guard is down and it I still lose sometimes to it 1 vs 1. This will make the transition from single to multiplayer a lot smoother for new players.

[@gordonmcallister9260]

Bannerlord is more developed than many AAA titles. Love the game, highly recommend it. 10/10. Would love to be in a bigger map, also open world troop movement seems high, NPC's can drag you halfway across the open world map trying to engage them.

[@Calisby]

they did everything that will make the game more enjoyable and i am happy they did use some of the same concepts from the previous title, i wouldn't play bannerlord if it was worse than its own previous title, fortunately it is enjoyable, i have like 500 hours already on bannerlord its sooo good

[@vegetaz1532]

is there any other differences compared to warband other than just upgraded graphics?

[@josh1382]

Con mon everything just works better. It’s more so easier to skip the things you didn’t like. Don’t like exploring towns? Everyone that has a mission is there from the screen where you first click on the town. Hate following people for days when your just slightly faster than them and they want you to help on their campaign? It’s still random but you can join the army. There’s some preplanning to sieges. There’s more interacting with people. There’s kind of a story. The weapons feel significantly more unique. The factions seem to have more personality. It’s not something completely new and most of the game really is like a refined warband, but I think it’s great. War and had incredible concepts but it was so limited and it seemed like a chore to do most things (recruit troops, join campaigns, find quests, find that one person in a town or city that is literally NOWHERE) Bannerlord just makes it seem like there’s less downtime and makes it easier to get to whatever aspect you enjoy most.
