Gotta say, people who are perfectly fine with a half-baked "gaem" just because unpaid hobbyists will add content to make it playable are simply enabling this behavior through the entire industry.

"Damn gamers, they ruined gaming." Sadly, accurately relevant.

Gamers, and modders, have elevated gaming and software as a whole to heights impossible to achieve without them.

I agree with you in a way, though, but the solution to 'half baked' is simply price.
Slash the sales prices and you'll be approaching a better bang for buck solution.

I realize Bannerlord already has that ratio, kind of, but...until release it's not sure if that's its true strength or just all the Warband / Franchise fans having pounced on it.

So much for the "it's still EA!1!!one!" cries of the Bannerlord White Knight Brigade whenever major issues were pointed out.

What a steaming pile of utter disappointment this turned out to be.

Well, they can keep up their battlecry for 2 months.
I'll wait and see what they say after.

[Apex]

I bet my left egg it will be delayed and we will see the workshop not in near future.

Or - hear me out, because this is crazy! - cause enough of an uproar that a company releasing bare skeleton actually feels obliged to finish what they started.

Welp, just reinforces the lesson to never buy unless you know exactly what you're buying... and believing market-speak from game studios is not knowing.

Officially there will be two more patches. With the focus being console release.

So... myeah, ain't looking too good there.

Which is a damn bloody shame, but a direction that was easy to spot even within the first month or two of EA...

Well, show me your uproar face, then.

Цитата допису Davaeorn:

Game is still a buggy POS and 2 months out and at the rate they've been dropping patches, they have honestly dropped the ball hard on this one.

Also, they're is literally nothing to do in the game besides fight endless wars against braindead AI.

Hopefully thins means TW can finally piss off with releasing updates that break everything and modders can properly take the reigns and make content that isn't pathetically irrelevant.

Amen

Dissapointing, but not exactly surprising news. I still would quite like armor smithing, even if i am one of the few who likes the admittedly pretty crappy weaponsmithing. I do think overall the game is not the downgrade most people compare it to as far as it vs vanilla warband. I suspect many people are remembering modded warband and comparing it to vanilla bannerlord.

I've been at it for a long time, mate. Both here and on the offishul forum.

Here, mostly being shouted down by the same posters who will now wring their hands and pretend "this is fine," "Taleworlds smael gaem indie stoodio"

I see.

Well, I simply subscribe to showing up the devs in such cases.
Make the best possible mod, with a team, and name it 'Şerefsiz' or something.
(one of the worst things you can call a Turk)

Why? Cause that will at least be a service to all the customers who feel like they didn't get enough game, but already bought it.

Furthermore, I don't think Bannerlord is as prominent as something like a Sonic movie, where the uproar actually did something.

Further, furthermore:
They're not mutually exclusive approaches.

Will they add voice lines???

In our dreams.

I cant tell if you're ESL or actually braindead.
The game is getting its full release at October the 25th and there is nothing you can do about it.

The confusion is centered around TW's hilarious choice to obfuscate the existence of early access for the past 2 1/2 years. Most developers would say, "leaving early access 25.10.2022." It should be fairly obvious for galaxy-brained English-speakers that the ambiguous phrasing combined with putting a dozen console logos before a tiny "PC" logo means the following:

1. They're slapping a 1.0 on it, although by no means will it seem complete other than to a Saki character on this forum

2. They want a do-over on reviews, this time unleashing the game on a group of unwitting console users like no one's been playing the game since the start of the pandemic

3. They have no real major ideas of how to improve the game, so if the oft-begged-for feasts, naval combat, workshop or any of the new features actually working in any interesting way actually avail themselves at any point, it will probably be on October 25th or never

4. Given the development time and recruitment call for a sci-fi game, this is probably the last official work that will ever be done on Mount & Blade

"Poopband" is perhaps overrated, by the way, but there's no way in hell this game is worth 2.5 Warbands - not now, and if this release date is to believed, probably ever.

The devs of DayZ did the same exact thing, they released version "1.0" but it was just another step in the endless development cycle... actually, they removed a ton of content before releasing the "1.0" version to consoles which blew my mind. 1.0 was just a slightly better looking version of 0.62, minus a bunch of content and with a bunch of dumb changes to things NOBODY wanted to be changed - instead of fixing cars (which had been a problem for years) they just completely removed cars from 1.0, then re did all the crafting mechanics from a single 'click', to tedious click and hold. Dumb crap like that. Reminds me so much of Bannerlord.

But they added modding, which basically disguised the fact they still havent finished the game.

[READTHEE]

The lack of regional pricing was enough to keep it on Wishlist for me, but I'm glad I didn't waste money on basically same game with new visuals.

It isn't a bad thing, I'll buy it eventually when it's like 90% off (like it did with previous M&B games), just don't really see what's worth paying so much money for.

Even their trailers show nothing but combat, which was already part of M&B and was fine. The biggest issue was the barren, lifeless world with garbage writing and NPC's, which hasn't really changed at all.

Since fanboys keep buying and rating it "VERY HIGH" on Steam, they'll move on to consoles and keep the game the way it is, probably planning DLC's in the future like Stardock.

[Botergios]

Releasing this game on this state is kind of sad, lame and outrageos at the same time.

[BizarreWillow]

I hope they have some big update for release, but probably I'm naive.

Probably just the date for console release for early access.

GAMESCOM is live, i wonder if they are going to demonstrate the MP server crash

Bannerlord feels like a group of MB Warband fans got together and decided to make a sequel themselves and crowd funded it. Except, true fans of Warband wouldnt have made Bannerlord, so instead the fans took the kick starter money & went to fiver to find game developers to make the game for them.
The 4 developers they hired never played MB themselves, instead it was just described to them by the fans and the developers just did their best.

They paid the developers almost entirely upfront, so they pretty much stopped working on the game about 6 months into the project, so every once in a while when they get enough donations they go hire another developer off fiver who allegedly works on the project for a bit, but usually ends up breaking what the last guy fixed.

The fans running the project only post news & updates whenever theyre not playing Team Fortress or Elden Ring, so information can be spotty.
