Three-sided brawler For Honor lately added two new heroes. So I’m again within the gladatorial pits, attempting to revive my earlier dishonourable form. But it’s robust. The recreation itself nonetheless has issues and my very own rustiness solely makes issues tougher. The veterans of the group appear completely happy, nevertheless. They significantly just like the brutal execution animations lately added. So a lot so, that a troubling development has emerged whereby gamers have begun making their very own strategies for lethal last blows, utilizing the medium of MS Paint.
They are all performed with childlike brushstrokes, making them each deeply worrying and unusually humorous. Here’s one exhibiting the brand new Aramusha hero from the samurai clan chopping off some arms, by DerNjco.
OK. Here’s the Shaman, a brand new hero with a keenness for blood and biting, performing a disturbing ritual as imagined by Zadarok.
PapaFireFox invented three frightful executions in one. But essentially the most over-the-top one is that this depiction of the massive club-wielding Shugoki leaping on a person’s abdomen till he exhales blood.
Yeesh. Meanwhile, that is the Shinobi, a chain-wielding ninja, choking a sad man to death. Note the ninja’s masks. It is drawn in such a manner by the illustrator, Herr_Fennen, that it resembles a gleeful smile.
I don’t even know what this Conquerer is doing.
The Aramusha stays the preferred nevertheless. Here’s a last drawing by PseudoTeeth, depicting the valiant samurai warrior bending his neck at an unnatural angle and vomiting into an opponent’s face simply as he would have performed in Samurai occasions.
There was no want for any of this.
For Honor is a irritating recreation. I just like the brawling, the sneakiness, the uncommon glimpse of combating etiquette you typically encounter throughout a duel. But disconnections, annoying menus and an intrusive gear system hobble the sturdy combating recreation beneath all of it. There’s a much bigger article arising about that stuff, however for now, we are able to a minimum of admire these high quality artworks.
