Mordhau

This place really can't get worse can it?

how is it worse than chivalry? It's basically chivalry but with better customization and the ability to throw weapons and pick up weapons.

don't forget throwing pommels to end him rightly

Mordhau's game mechanics are executed better than Chivalry's in almost every way. From being able to attack from any angle, to simultaneous hits being very unlikely (weapons clash), to most weapons having an alternative use mode, to fucking horseback riding. I haven't looked at the twitch streams (because twitch is fucking cancer at the best of times), but from the dev blogs it looks fantastic.

It was funny at first but like every good thing fags like you can't help but parrot it until it's annoying.

I fucking hate this Skallagrim faggot for making this shit into a meme. It used to be a small funny thing that only people knew that were interested in sword fighting and know every normalfaggot on tumblr makes this cancerous joke every time sword fighting get's mentioned.

*now

I'm not a huge fan of this game, never played chivalry for any meaningful time though. but I am into HEMA, hoping that this game would be better. where actions are faster, more responsive, and realistic compared to chivalry. but I hate it, people can drag, they can do a weird fucking breaking back pose to dodge (try that against a real stab and you are getting one in the chest), the swings are slow as fuck and the reach of the weapons are very short. like they are swinging with their dominant hand instead of using the pommel like a lever to turn it fast and get the longer reach. Also, I'm not sure if it's the game or my inexperience with this type of game, but the response feels shit. I can block an attack and if I am not spamming to queue the next move my character will just stand there, sometimes it does nothing even when I spam. it feels so inconsistent and not fluid at all. It's like each swing is someone charging up a hit like in baseball, where they have to commit fully and if you miss you do the silly movie shit where you lose balance (doesn't actually happen in the game but its clunky asf). but I hope since mods are going to be introduced at some point, someone who has the same gripes will fix it.
