      And I'm so tired of the bullshit these days that every game needs to look, sound and play as realistically as possible... Look at Absolver and tell me how much of it is realistic? Not very much right? Well then why should it have realistic sound? Games like Tekken and Mortal Kombat have even less realistic sounds and no one goes on about those sounds needing to sound realistic

  • @wheeliamm
    @wheeliamm 7 років тому +496

    I think you did not understand the game correctly. This game is PVP mainly. The PVE part is just a tutorial (like for honor campaign). Why do I think so? Well, the game campaign is too short to make the game a pve experience, and this kind of fighting games take 4-5 hours to get used to it entirely (depending on the player, obviously), which is the campaign time. The areas are not really filled with secrets, there are just a few items in some places, but it is not the usual. These areas are also pretty straight forward, there's some exploration but you'll basically go forward and defeat enemies. The world, in fact, is not meant to be a openworld-like place, as the sloclap team said: "The world of Adal is relatively modest and can be traversed from end to end in half an hour or so provided all areas have been unlocked. The goal was not to have a large open world but instead a realm where players could explore and encounter both NPC combatants and other live players to interact with, whether that be fighting, sparring, or simply politely bowing and going their separate way."
    Once you get used to the game after you've beaten it, you move on the pvp (duels, 3v3, etc), where the real thing begins. The main part of the game is pvp. This game has a deep combat system with a lot of combination of moves, which makes the game interesting. This combat system will make you try different moves and different decks for the shake of fun, and you'll progress as a fighter while you learn from other players. And you might be wondering: what about grinding? Well, the best items you can get are from pvp. Everytime you finish a duel or 3v3 or whatever, there will be a big chance you'll a get a piece of equipment, and it is in pvp where you get the best equipment.
    Basically, this game is just a pvp game, with a beatiful and brief campaign where you develop as a fighter (becoming an Absolver) before you move on to pvp. In fact, the sloclap team do not classify this game as an RPG: "It is important to note that Absolver is not an online RPG or an MMO, the scale is relatively small compared to well known games in those genres and the online interactions are much more focused and personal without the large scale server populations one might expect from an MMO." This game is an online fighting game with a deep combat system, and it is worth the price.

    Here's a question, once you've beaten these bosses and such, can you fight them again at any time to further test your skills as you progress? So do bosses respawn basically?
    PS: Your thoughts and concerns about the game are the exact ones I have. Looks great, gameplay seems very fun, but the lasting power...Once you've played the game for a few weeks is that it? or will it be like a wrestling game or a sports game, where' you're essentially always doing the same thing, yet you're having a blast doing it.
    It's 40$ Canadian on the PS4, and it might sound harsh but I feel once it's on sale for 20-30$ I'll probably without thinking buy this game. Rant over.

But no, it just ended right there. Felt no urge to continue what so ever. But it was a great tutorial/game.

    As a souls fan and a fighting game fan I am having a great time playing. There are reads, baits, footsies. You can condition your opponents and heavily punish them. 1v1s feel so good to me. I did get annoyed while playing the PvE due to some npc shenanigans. The only issue I had was that servers were down most of the day, so I beat the game offline. The learning curve is fairly steep to me, but that's what makes it fun.

      The environments are a bit reminiscent of Dark Souls, so is the fighting uh, "cadence" I guess? The fighting speed is almost identical to what I experienced, and it shares the Stamina Bar mechanism because, of course it does. The starkness of the graphical quality though is what bring me a real sense of the familiar when comparing it to Dark Souls. There's also the online "component" that is equally disappointing in both games.

    @gameranx One thing you mentioned that is wrong, is the light and heavy attacks. You can set your two attack buttons with ANY ATTACK you want. So instead of light and heavy, it's actually called "main attack and alternative attack" X being your main hit, and Y being yer switch up from your main combo in your combat deck

    1. I played solo the entire time do to servers being down. Anybody that played for honor will do fine. It was very challenging at first and I died a lot, but then I stopped dying and I solod the entire game.. it's very doable. Now my guy is mastering the art of drunken fist and I just don't die anymore.
    2. Pointing your left stick at the enemy will make your character target the enemy until you release the left stick. You don't have to R1 right stick to switch targets middle of combat. Only when you want to lock on. I can easily engage three to four enemies at once solo. And we drunken fist, it looks like a cinematic fight scene. So so cool
    3. If I had to make a complaint and, I would say there's not enough styles. The first time I fought drunken fist it caught me off-guard and I enjoyed it a lot. But after that it seems like there's no more styles
    Other than that good video.

    I am enjoying the crap outta it. It really pays off to beat up NPCs 'til they're almost dead and learn their moves. Not only are you learning in game but you also learn how NPCs fight basically.
    Although the internet lag has been REALLY bad for me, pretty sure its just an aussie thing, this game really thrives on no lag and intricate, precise movement so lag really stuffs me up so I've chilled out in offline mode 'til the devs fix it.

    I wish there was a bit more aesthetic customization(shaders mainly). The button commands need tweaking. You use R2(or RT for xbox?) to choose from which angle you'll initiate your combo. Depending on the angle determines the string you'll execute. The only problem is, R1 is the ability button; the parry, absorb, or dodge so, if I'm in a 1 v however many(which happens ALOT), it's hard for me navigate between the three(the third being the block button over as L2). It's fun, though and addicting. Especially the creating your own combo strings. Forces you to get creative. Make a combo where the last attacks ends on another angle so it initiates a completely different string of combinations. It's also cool to see people combine styles.
    The no map KILLS ME. I mean, I get it; forces you to explore but, GAWD, the map is bigger than it seems and it's a labyrinth.
    I'll stick with it. Probably won't take For Honour's place. Hopefully there's a few updates in the future.

True about the camera angles and NPC ganking but building your fight deck and getting the combat to flow is satisfying. I kept losing connection to the server and when I was connected people coming in and out of my area seemed to fxxx things up. I had an invisible NPC smack me around and an error making the game crash but despite that I'm quite happy with the money I spent on preorder and look forward to additional content.

    Or maybe even another big quest where you might want to team up with some people along the way to help you get to and defeat some big baddie.

      it hasn’t really grown nor shrunk in popularity. i try to play the game every day possible just cuz it calms me down, sometimes for hours at a time, the game is much more suited for those who enjoy the peacefulness and plain fun the game brings rather than the goal you’d strive to get

      Robin Bruce yeah right. It’s hectic as hell. And everyone just jumps each other. Nobody has any honor in that game sadly.

    When you're surrounded by enemies you can use the L.Stick and direct your blows in the directions you are tilting it in.
    also when building a deck.
    Don't just pick flashy moves. if you don't like blocking to learn moves or you're terrible with your Style Abilities. pick moves that can avoid hits and try them out.

    I preordered this game and have been loving every minute of it. It's like golf, boring to watch really satisfying to play.

    To be honest Absolver's a nice break from the increasing number of hyperrealistic games. Plus it's a bold move by the studio behind it, it's worth giving it a shot in my opinion
