One of the better videos I’ve seen with actually useful tips for this game. I’m still not sure if I’ll stick with it, but super appreciate this guide as it’s persuaded me to reinstall the game (again).
Thanks. I tried getting into the game like 5 times and never lasted passed the 1st area. Your guide encouraged me to give it another shot. Subscribed :)
Thank you very much! you should probably check my spear guide this might help you! I want more people to enjoy this game and overcome the heavy wall of combat first experience so your message encourages me a lot!
@@pentagram4872 Yeah I just saw there is one. I'll def check it out later. I love the atmosphere and sense of exploration, but really want to feel more confident as I move around the world, so your content may help a lot. Keep going!
@@cl-vision5029 well i just posted the end of my main playthrough that i did on stream ;) i have also started a few others off camera to test new builds and stuff. Keep fighting adventurer eventually you will overcome everything man!!! good luck!
An in-depth weapon guide series might be a pretty good idea, there's not much content out there for it besides just going over some pretty strong artifacts. That doesn't really tell them how to use it though. Maybe could go over the general combat loop for the weapon as well as talk a little about the respective weapon skills from both the trainers and Gladiator arena , then wrap up with a couple example builds. Anyways, enjoying the vids keep it up my friend!
I could probably make one for some weapons but not all : i have not mastered the knuckles, and the axes so i would need some more playtime. But yes would be interesting. I am already considering it.
I had this guide recommended to me and gave it a go. Like every other time I've tried the melee I got eviscerated by trogs and bandits. Outward is a masterpiece but its melee combat is a crime against humanity. Just use a bow, magic or guns. Melee weapons are for selling in this game.
I am sad to see this. I really try to be as helpful as possible. If you are still struggling you look at the individual weapon guides that cover most of thw weapon types. Keep in mind that even with this guide outward's melee combat is not easy and seeing this video is not instant kill.
Subbed. The game is infuriating but I'm very much in loved with it. Thanks for these videos that makes me love the game better. I hope for a progression guide since it's quite hard to have an idea of what you want to be but extremely hard how to get there.
@@jdl19 yes take your time, especially on a first playthrough, the best tip i cam give you is that the game rewards forward thinking and planning a lot! So be careful and free. Go were you want to!
@@pentagram4872 not a single bit. Its a trash game. I have 20 hours in the game and I haven't eve left Ciziero or what ever it is. There is NOT a single point in playing this game, unless you like to repeat the same thing over and over, dying each time. I have 15 years in RuneScape, so repetition means nothing to me if it leads to something actually getting done. NOTHING gets done in this game. This is why games like this are few and far between. It took me 5 1/2 hours to complete ALL of Mortal Shell. When the combat works, it works. In this game it does not and it holds everything back.
Thanks! I have mentioned this a few times to others but the gauntlet is the only weapon i really have no idea how to play (i am sweating everytime someone asks me for a gauntlet guide what am i going to do.???? XD) so thanks for telling me i ll have a lot of training to do
@@dantes3811 runic can work with everything its super strong and very fun to use, but not the first thing i would pick for a spear build but that does not mean you cannot make it work ;)
@@pentagram4872 thanks for replying! i’m having a better time with a spear like you recommended. having fun getting revenge at the fort for being forced to be a slave 😂
Trading is definitely an option but its far from necessary especially when you start to know ennemy patters, master the use of impact or use a shield. It gest harder against fast ennemies but they are mkst of the time easy to kill.
Once you clear the enemies on the map, the game is pretty much dead and deserted. Fun at 1st but it gets boring very fast, most enemies have the same EXACT combat mechanic. Wish it didn't appeal to low skill players and had a more challenging difficulty slider.
Yes and no, ennemies respawn after 7 days out of any location. Outward is not fundamentaly hard game that is true, i mean you can reach 100% resistance to an element without much investment, you can brat outward with an excel sheet. Outward is an exploration game not a combat rpg That being said i still think there is more than enough challenging content. The caldera region and the secret unknown arena bosses offer a good enough challenge even for experienced players.
@@Tigerjunky93 well technically you can, but you d have to clear the the map multiple times to deplete the enemy pool and this pool will refill after 7 days out of the map.
I tried liking the game, I loved the hardcore approach and how it truly feels you’re in a journey, but the combat just plain sucks compared to other games. It’s just clunky, floaty and doesn’t feel like you’re connecting with the enemies. Maybe I’m just spoiled by the great combat of the Souls series, but this didn’t do it for me.
That is understandable but a comparison with the souls series i completely unfair. Souls combat is smooth and polished while outwards combat is deeper and demands more anticipation and preparation. Some people like it, some do not and it is fine.
This was my second fastest refunded game because the combat sucked so much ass. So I am here if I missed something. Edit: Nah. Refund was a right thing as soon as you showed hitting that tall chick in 0:23
Having played both i can say a few things about this. The only thing valheim's combat has over outward's is fluidity. Valheim is an incredible game and is just generally fluid. However its combats is pretty simplistic though very enjoyable. It is mostly perfect parries and counter attacks that can make it feel almost like turned base sometimes. There is also an almost absence of build possibilities. Outward on the other hand clearly lacks some fluidity and can feel a bit clunky at times. The existence of skills and the great gear diversity allows for way more liberty and creativity when it comes to combat. I just want to point out how different the games are. Comparing them is not that much interesting. I think?
@@pentagram4872 not that I don't like it, the overall game is mediocre by design. Just look at the assets alone. You can blaze through the whole game by going 5 guns,sigil and a speed set while the clunky melee is a joke. But then again... its a french indie company so one can't expect much.
@@ReeYuuJee the combat has far more depths than the "clunky" some people use to describe it. And if you do not like the idea of 5 guns/sigil stacking/infinite stamina speed, then you are missing something about the game's design philosophy. It is true that on a technical standpoint the game has some rough features and i was the first to point it out (though it seems they have changed few things in the DE as melee is more fluid now, they might have reduced the time you get locked in animations and there are less double hits than before), but the cheezy nature of the game is what makes it enjoyable for most of the people who actually like this game ;).

Wow, i cant believe this game's been released 3 years now. I remember playing the very first alpha back in 2014. Crazy how fast time's gone.

Thanks! I hope it helps you get over the beginner wall! Anyway i wish you a good time with the game!
Even being a small channel, you are to be congratulated. Awesome content quality!!
Thank you very much! There is still room to improve and i will work on it! ;)

How your play through going? I just picked the game up myself like 2 days ago and it's a tough game but I'm all in

I could think about something like that though outward is an exploration game and i want people to truly enjoy that! I ll have to think about it.
@@pentagram4872 I see. It's just overwhelming since I started yesterday. Might have to be patient about it.
@@jdl19 yes take your time, especially on a first playthrough, the best tip i cam give you is that the game rewards forward thinking and planning a lot! So be careful and free. Go were you want to!
overall, I had had a better experience trying to swing a bag of water in real life, than I have trying to do anything in this game.
Its not easy at first, it becomes easy once you master the basics. ;)

@@DustyTheDog well that is what one would call constructive criticism xD
This game feels like a hardcore fable lost chapters to me! I love it but I’m having a hard time figuring out the combat system
Its funny you say that because the friend that made me buy the game told me it was like fable xD
Gauntlets only block 90% damage. Thanks for the video! 😊
Thanks! I have mentioned this a few times to others but the gauntlet is the only weapon i really have no idea how to play (i am sweating everytime someone asks me for a gauntlet guide what am i going to do.???? XD) so thanks for telling me i ll have a lot of training to do
Hopefully your channel gains momentum on Outward. It's really hard to find hidden info/tips or certain items/gear etc.
Like Sheenshots.
Kinda hope so but we will see! I will not only cover outward though, covering only one game is out of my abilities xD
combat was very clunky when i played this at the release. They improved it?
Yes and no. The difference is not very easy to notice. It seems they reduced the recovery time of animations. But the core is identical.
do you have build for spear ? idk what armor set and skills i should go
Depends on how expensive you want the build to be ;)
@@pentagram4872 ahaha idk about all skills but i took berg trainers skills then i saw runic trainer is it worth it ?
@@dantes3811 runic can work with everything its super strong and very fun to use, but not the first thing i would pick for a spear build but that does not mean you cannot make it work ;)
@@pentagram4872 ok ty sir btw i really like your weapon types combat guide videos keep up the great work
@@dantes3811 thanks for the support ! Good day sir
i’m still struggling and dying a lot. i just end up trading when i think i have an opening to attack
i still like the game though
Well in time you will get the hang of it! Gald you like the game! (Trading is not that bad in itself, especially against fast but fragile enemies).
@@pentagram4872 thanks for replying! i’m having a better time with a spear like you recommended. having fun getting revenge at the fort for being forced to be a slave 😂
@@nioi hahaha
You forgot about most op lantern throw
Thank you!
My pleasure!
Good video.
Thank you very much!
i feel like it's impossible it to try to hit anything without trading.
Trading is definitely an option but its far from necessary especially when you start to know ennemy patters, master the use of impact or use a shield. It gest harder against fast ennemies but they are mkst of the time easy to kill.
Is it still solid?
Well i posted it a few days ago soooo it should be xD

The enemies respawn… you can’t “clear the map”

meh game, the music was pretty good though, especially the marshlands one.
Sad you did not truly enjoy it but understandable

Edit: Nah. Refund was a right thing as soon as you showed hitting that tall chick in 0:23
well as we always say, this game is not for everyone, you cannot enjoy everything ;)
Combat in Outward can be summed up quote simply as: Bad. Janky. It feels like it's 4 generations old
Or perhaps you just dont like it ;)
This combat feels so outdated and clunky. I wish it was more like in Valheim.
Having played both i can say a few things about this. The only thing valheim's combat has over outward's is fluidity. Valheim is an incredible game and is just generally fluid.

I quit this game because of the combat system, to say that it's bad is an understatement.
Just because you do not like something or are not good at it from the start does not mean it is bad.
@@pentagram4872 I understand your point I just disagree with it, have a nice day.
