Ubisoft’s For Honor Tournament Was An Embarrassment As Matches Are Filled With Exploits & Bugs

ThisGenGaming says "For Honor's recent tournament ended in embarrassment as the matches were filled with exploiting with even the winner using exploits."

[Eiyuuou]

The issue mainly lies with the players for abusing it. The next patch will remove this "tech".

Still, they shouldn't have allowed it.

[DiceAndRice]

It really doesn't make sense for this to be allowed when their own code of conduct bans users online for it.

[Eiyuuou]

As far as I've heard people didn't get banned online for this.

[DiceAndRice]

So they don't even adhere to their own code of conduct either?

[Eiyuuou]

Probably because this isn't nearly as bad as the one hit kill exploit. Banning them for this would be a bit excessive. It doesn't break the game by any means, it just makes it dull to look at.

[3-4-5]

The issue mainly lies in the core of the game and the dev team.

It's a terrible game with nothing to do that doesn't require much skill. It's boring after like 20 seconds.

The concept was amazing...the delivery....not so much

[Timesplitter14]

Agreed. Just have judges instantly disqualify and lifetime-ban anyone who uses those exploits. Problem solved

Although the first "exploit" looks more like a gameplay mechanic than an exploit. You have less resistance to hits when your opponent is on high ground. Doesn't seem too ridiculous to me. It just means that not allowing opponents to gain high ground should be part of your strategy

[Eiyuuou]

That was an unfortunate bug though. The odd thing is that I've never seen it before.

[Liqu1d]

Lol, what a mess this game turned out to be.

[Eiyuuou]

It's not nearly as bad as people make it out to be though. Imo it's probably the best weapon-based melee fighter on the market atm.
Shitting on Ubisoft products just tends to be all the rage these days.

[Liqu1d]

Ubisoft are not victims of unfair criticism. Claiming that this criticism is unfairly shitting on them is silly, but I guess it's much easier to accuse people of being haters or something when you don't have a better defense.

For Honor was a really promising title but it was ruined by poor decisions. It is embarrassing when the best players in your game are able to win using exploits and lose due to bugs, even worse when they are well known issues in the community. That does not make your game look good and it should not be in this state this long after release. It's easy to be the best on the market when you have no competition.

[Eiyuuou]

"Claiming that this criticism is unfairly shitting on them is silly, but I guess it's much easier to accuse people of being haters or something when you don't have a better defense."

Well, aren't we agressive today? I never said or implied that THIS criticism is unjustified. However, I'm not wrong.

If you were to look at comments before the game was out or even in Beta, hell even before any info was out, people were already bashing it. The same is/was happening with Skull and Bones. People are just becoming way too toxic and cynical.
People just like to blow shit up to make it look worse than it is.
You have no idea how many times I've seen the comment: "This game is dead". (Fun fact: the last time was Saturday.)Which ofc isn't true.
Not to mention when devs do something good that gets completely overlooked.

Sorry for the rant, but I just so tired of the constant negativity in gaming these days. It's quite exhausting.

[Liqu1d]

Aggressive? That wasn't aggressive in the slightest.

People have every right to be skeptical of Skull & Bones after the way For Honor was handled, and I say that as someone who's interested in the game. In fact people have every right to be skeptical of everything Ubisoft put out after games like Watch Dogs, Steep, The Division, Ghost Recon, For Honor. Then you had the annual AC games and recycled Far Cry games. Ubisoft earned this criticism and while you're tired of "negativity" gamers are tired of being sold mediocre, broken and rushed products. Without criticism they will not improve.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Why are you batting so hard for Ubisofts screw ups? How are you benefitting from defending their own faults?

[Krysis]

"I never said or implied that THIS criticism is unjustified. However, I'm not wrong."
Yes you are 100% wrong, and liquid is absolutely right. Ubisoft did this to themselves.

[Eiyuuou]

@Krysis

You can deny it all you want, but you need only look to see that I'm right.

Although I have a feeling that you don't really understand my point. Though the fact that some people are already claiming that I'm defending Ubisoft tipped that much off.

[Eiyuuou]

The thing is, we both know I wouldn't have made this comment if it was only criticism. I don't like Ubsioft any more than you do. Many just give the impression that they want Ubsioft to disappear of the face of the earth. I on the other hand just want them to do better. Unfortunately constructive criticism has to make way for blind hate. (Of course not everyone is like that, and I'm most certainly not saying that you're one of those people)

And yes, the skepticism is justified. But there is a large difference between skepticism and just being a total *insert word of your own choosing*.

That's the last I'm saying on this matter.

Have a nice day!

[Ittoittosai]

What we know is Ubisoft was warned during third party testing that For Honor had major problems and ignored them

[Byron517]

ESL was the host of the tournament and they allowed it.. Ubi &a the Devs couldn't make them take it out since the game is part of their ESL lineup. I asked during the prelims because I had seen it done and wanted to know if players would be disqualified. You could tell from the video the devs comments were not amused by this. In Season 3 they will eliminate that exploit..

[Eiyuuou]

Unfortunately the casters didn't seem to mind... If I were them I would've called the players out on it.

[Allsystemgamer]

The worst part about this game is the game itself is fun. The mechanics work and it flows very nicely.

However.

It had far too little content. Terrible server solutions. Wasn't properly tested and outrages micro transactions.

[CorndogBurglar]

And was criminally unbalanced.

[Nybz]

...For Honor has tournaments? This alone is news to me.

Wasn't the player base slashed by like 90%?

[GamesMaster1982]

I tried the free trail over the weekend, Deleted it from the hdd after 10 mins. If this is what your games are coming to Ubisoft shitty online crap with a piss ass single player portion then im out.

[Ittoittosai]

These are all issue Ubisoft was told about during alpha and beta testing, they chose to ignore them. This is also why the game doesnt have a lot of players.

[Derceto]

Exactly who out there didn't see that coming? Ubisoft couldn't successfully make a bug-free tic-tac-toe game.

How the f**k these morons are still in business, is well beyond me.

[Nodoze]

I regret buying this title. Never again Ubisoft....never again. Bargain bin for all titles from here on out.

[rezzah]

Bargain Bin?

Do better by turning your back on the company altogether.

They still see you "enjoying" their games by recording you as a player durng online play and trophies/achievments recieved.

Basically Im saying dont just attack their profits, attack their statistics.

[AngelicToucH]

I'm sorry but this is pathetic beyond excuse. Not only leaving them use the exploits, but actually permitting these exploits to go live. I made the horrible mistake of buying the gold edition, now ...only the dust remembers this game.

[rezzah]

Anything online related with Ubisoft is a problem, if you want to play their games focus on the offline ones.

[proofmaster]

This gen gaming should credit their source since this whole thing was stolen from a Reddit post in /r/games...

[Blu3_Berry]

That's Hilarious. I bet seeing the exploits and bugs appearing were more enjoyable then the matches themselves.

[Blank]

O

[xPaYDaYx]

For Honor was so bad lol, not really surprising from Ubisoft though.

[rezzah]

There are always issues with anything online with Ubisoft involved. Thats why I dont play them.
