Let's be honest, this is a terrible game

[matt]

This game is more shallow than Warband (though I hope they've just not added all the content yet) and is littered with bugs. I appreciate the work the devs are putting into getting everything ready though!

But still, the game is DAMN FUN! It still has the core addictive gameplay loop from Warband that I love and has graphics from the 21st century. Despite the mess that the game is, I have good hopes for the future of this game and hope to eventually see it be greater than Warband.

Ehh I would generally agree, but the title is a bit to provacative. I wouldn't hardly call it terrible. Shallower than Warband? Perhaps. I may even disagree there. There are a lot of things already that I've seen that Warband did not do.

Imagine about bashing a game still in Alpha phase and comparing to a finished game.

No, at its current state the word "terrible" is accurate.

Imagine telling your potential customers "we want to take our time with this and release a good product" and 8 years later release this hot steaming pile of garbage XD

Terrible? Not in my estimation. From reading all the issues others are having - its like Im playing an entirely different game. No bugs, no crashes, no Ai issues - everything has been smooth sailing and *far* from terrible.

*shrug*

So was the original Mount and Blade when that came out, it was bare bones AF compared to Bannerlord lol. But they made it good with a little time. :D

first edition... that's reasonable.. they literally copied everything from warband with some small changes and this took them a decade.. nice

@Bubba This man speaks truths. I was tricked into believing they were being genuine when they said that. I mean I'm having fun with the game, but theres a lot ALOT wrong/missing for the amount of time they had. The Witcher put out what... two, three games in that amount of time and need I say more on that note? I know this is a different style of game but still, the graphics aren't even on par with games that have taken less time to develop.

Even Warband is a "bad but good" game, the graphics are awful and the controls are really clunky but like I say in OP the gameplay loop is what hooked us all in the first place

Not terrible, not great. But they're doing so much good work on fixing bugs and crashes, give them some credit!

I'm not bashing the game my friend, if I'm honest it's in the same category as Warband. "bad but good"

[[GRVTS]Fat Bastard]

dunno about you, but I'm having fun. I never actually played Warband unmodded so I can't comment on it.

We KNOW that they haven't.

Nah. It's miles better than warband. It just needs some bugfixing and it will be perfect.

[Jay Saucy]

Its an amazing game not terrible lol it needs some fixes BUT ITS EA FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME lol give them some time they will balance things out and fix the bugs now they have a large community testing the game which will help them get into the cracks and corners and fix it up commenting that its a terrible game makes you a complete clown lol grow up buddy
