Is this game a meme?

I don't feel that way

good for you i guess

The name of the game is "Mordhau" which translates literally to "Meme hand". It's a game built around the meme of wielding a sword like an absolute drooling shortbus fuckwit. Yes, the game is a meme.

>you will get absolutely bodied by the people who have hundreds of hours in the game
the main mode is 32v32 anyway, so even if there's some god on the other team you won't run into him often, and you can gank up on people if you have trouble in 1v1, which don't happen that often

play the tutorial, the game has very few mechanics, learn them well

remember, there's no guaranteed damage punishes, it's all about making your opponent make a mistake, like whiff or parry early

i suggest not to cheap out on armor, especially on head and chest

blunt weapons stop their swing at the first guy they hit, unless it's a kill, sharp weapons go through people

team damage is serious business, take advantage of it when ganked and avoid it when ganking

Just started playing after building my first PC. I absolutely love this game, it's so fucking crazy. Everyone screaming, people getting randomly shot with arrows or getting clocked in the head by hammers and shit. The text chat is actually active too like that user mentioned.

It's a meme but a very fun meme with an extremely high skill ceiling.

Now that bannerlord is out and we all see how shit it is, Mordhau is cemented as THE melee combat game and will be around for a long time.

There is also like 10 maps now so it's pretty fun.

this
i cant believe some people still try to claim mountain blade's combat is harder

Chiv 2 will be better

good for us i guess

id pay good fucking money for a game with bannerlord's kingdom building framework and mordhau's combat

>Mordhau is cemented as THE melee combat

I never laughed so hard in my life thanks user

I have serious serious doubts
First off they took an epic deal, now i dont hate epic but given what Chiv became and the Mirage flop it felt like they just needed the money to keep the lights on, rather than sell a decent game
They fully embraced the beyblade shit too in Chiv, whereas Mordhau took accel/decel and refined it into a bonafide fair feature, they never bothered and let the knight fighting game become tops.

i dont think mordhaus combat would be feasible in 1000+ npc battles

OK I'll bite, what do you play?

ur mum

Wow gottem

he might be posting shit twitch memes, but he is right mocking you, mordhau can suck my left nut

>this is what chivalry 2.0 fags still believe in

He doesnt have any counterpoints, same level as a wojack poster just putting whatever your post is in greentext

no he isnt. tell me a single other melee slasher that can compete.

fun game, too bad most of Yas Forumseddit is full of casuals who hate skill ceilings, but i blame the devs for making the main game mode a chaotic large player mode instead of small teams because it gives off the wrong impression of the core of the game

No one because this niche genre games sucks that is why mordhau has no competition

You see the thing is there is none, they're just fags who don't like the game but can't think of any other game so they just spam shitty reaction images. Theres your answer

It's a fun game to mess around with casually. Though some zoomers still play it competitively, even though it's slow as shit with a ridiculously low skill-ceiling.

It's fun to fuck around with friends in. If you want to get serious about it forget about it unless you want to autistically spend hundreds of hours trying to master bending the games rule of physics to the breaking point.

Its so much of a meme that the comp communities regularly gets dumpstered by 12 year old turbo zoomers because the entire game is all about reaction time.

has a small skill ceiling yet people complain that any gameplay trying to explore the depths of the ceiling are exploiting and ruining the game

it's more about strategizing and mix ups once you get past the reflexes. unless you have 8 ping you couldn't even read every attack to parry or respond in general at the last minute if you wanted to; you have to react early by a good amount which means you're buffering attacks/chamners or are using footwork to try to get in a good position

This. Every action takes half a second to perform so there's no opportunity for mindgames, and the only reads going on are you trying to read what animation your opponent is currently trying to glitch out into being unrecognizable.
On top of that the game has a fucking stamina bar limiting what actions either player can take, further simplifying the game by limiting their movesets.
It's best played fucking around casually in 32v32 unless you have brain problems and want to dedicate your life to medieval simon says.

slow? low skill ceiling? as someone with hundreds of hours it's the opposite of those things. how much have you played this game?

I like it because I'm bad a fighting games so I play this and pretend it's deeper

The game has a low skill floor but a high skill ceiling.

pretty fun game to play casually, you can either try to learn its melee combat or mess around with people in 32vs32 battlefields, there are so many ways to annoy the enemy, also a lot of shittalking and taunts ingame

chiv veterans will tell you its shit due to how melee combat and spins work by the way

Because you are autistic
This

>Every action takes half a second to perform so there's no opportunity for mindgames
every single weapon has a different speed, release time etc. some are slower, some are faster, naturally. i dont see how this prevents you from playing 'mindgames' - thats what the game is about, conditioning your opponent to think you're going to do one thing, then doing something else
> the only reads going on are you trying to read what animation your opponent is currently trying to glitch out into being unrecognizable.
if you have no frame of reference then of course everything looks unrecognisable to you. if you are still losing to people who spazz out their mouse and spam feints then you are still a new player and still panicking. it's counterable
>On top of that the game has a fucking stamina bar limiting what actions either player can take, further simplifying the game by limiting their movesets.
this doesnt simplify the game, it deepens it. without stamina bars it'd just be an endless accel/drag war. how the fuck does it 'limit their movesets' at all? how is adding a whole new playstye (playing defensively, focusing on stam drain) limiting anything?

gotta love people who played for 10 hours, got their shit pushed in, then ran off crying

108 hours
Of course you would have hundreds of hours in it if you're a compfag and think it's amazing.

the difference in my opinion is that the game shines in team fights from 2v2 to 6v6 more than it does with duels. can't do much for duels since the devs are split between balancing for teams and 1v1, and also mordhau is never played locally so you can't bring the 1v1 skill ceiling high enough because ping gets in the way

>2v2 to 6v6

Stop trolling

>it's slow
>every action takes half a second

Can you noobs get your stories straight? If you at least had a coherent complaint about the game that didn't resemble 'I hate this game because I wasn't the best at it after five hours' then maybe you'd get taken seriously

Okay grandpa. Hope I'm not typing too fast for you to react.

lad if you have 100 hours how the fuck are you supposed to possibly know about the game

Is not fun invest hundreds of hours in mordhau user...

I was the best at it after five hours; that's why I don't think it's a good competitive game.
Please pay attention.

So this game are for NEETs only?

how does your inability to read anything in the game in real-time make me a grandpa? you're the one bitching about having slow reaction times

it's really quite simple, i'm surprised you haven't understood yet since this board loves dark souls so much: get good

>I was the best at it after five hours

eh

incredibly unlikely

it's a very mechanical game that requires a lot of practice. you'd call someone a faggot for playing 50 games of dota and thinking they have any authority to criticise it at all

It's fun, but only for a little while

Seems you like you aren't even able to read my posts, faggot.

I absolutely love it, but I have 400 hours in chivalry as well. It's just so satisfying whopping people with a giant mace or playing as a half naked peasant and throwing swords at people and running around. Plus there are voice commands that can make charges with your teammates feel like a movie or cut scene. Very goofy game with more depth to the combat than just running up to a guy and pressing lmb or rmb. Movement, attack direction, enemy attacks prediction, etc. I mean there are basically only four attack buttons, but you can do each one in 8 different directions, AND change the speed with mouse movement. On top of that you can manipulate your torso position with mouse as well, so there is a ton of ways to get a hit in on your opponent. But a lot of the time that's secondary in getting a kill since you're fighting in a chaotic melee with 25 other people

You do you, gaylords. Just answering OP's question.
