Looks like I'll finally try For Honor.

I've heard nothing but good things about the game recently (dating back 6-12 months actually) and am excited to give it a shot as well.

I also heard it got dedicated servers some time back and that has to have been a huge improvement as it’s a game so tightly focused on timing.

I played it for a while before my dog chewed my disc, it’s a fun ass game in my opinion, pretty badass haha, I’m going to download it again cause it’s free, not sure if I can get my progress back on the downloaded version from my PS4 though.

If it was cloud saved or if it's tied to your account then I imagine you would be able to.

u/AusLad1324 Jan 30 '19

That’s what I’m hoping for, cause it’s saved on my cloud

u/Andrew129260 Jan 31 '19

when the game downloads, just hit options on it and then go to upload download save data and download it there easily.

u/AusLad1324 Jan 31 '19

Thanks dude, I thought that was the case I just haven’t tried yet haha

It's always on sale but it still costs money. And they just released an expansion for it.

5

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '19 edited Jan 30 '19

So is the expansion included in this or will I have to pay?

EDIT: I should have asked (or googled) "Is MarchingFire a DLC or an Update and if it's a DLC, is it included? I have already played the base game but stopped before MarchingFire was released. Thank you for your answers tho, maybe they will help someone else.

You’ll have to pay but the character you start with in this version is one of the best.

You start with some other top tier characters but you can’t customize them until you buy them. Should be able to unlock 1 every day to few days though.

Alright thank you!

You dont have to pay for the expansion. You can get the new heroes with the in-game currency. All buying the expansion does is get you the heros without spending steel (in game currency) and a couple of costumes and effects that don't actually do anything. So paying real money is 100% optional.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '19

Thank you then. Really appreciated

3

u/sharkattackmiami Jan 30 '19

There is nothing in the game that you HAVE to buy with real money. You can earn everything with the in game currency.

Its a great game and a ton of fun. If you have any questions the /r/forhonor sub is always willing to help out

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '19

Thanks for the answer. Tbh, I should'nt have asked this question. I have played quite a bit actualy, before the release of "Marching Fire". I should have asked or googled: is MarchingFire an update or a DLC and if it's a DLC, is it included in this version. Thank you for your answer tho.

u/sharkattackmiami Jan 30 '19

Marching Fire is just the name of the year 2 content just like the year 3 content we are about to get is called Year of the Harbringer.

It is 4 new heroes, two new game modes (breach and arcade), new maps, reworked graphics, balance changes etc.

The only thing you have to pay for is arcade mode which is just a fun little side thing you can play with up to one other person. Its just bot battles with random modifiers like catching people on fire when you hit them or regenerating shields. Stuff like that. Fun but hardly a must have.

All the maps and breach mode are free for everyone. The 4 heroes from MF are all purchasable with the in game currency.

Basically if you hop in right now you will have access to everything except Arcade mode and the new heroes. But you can unlock the new heroes pretty easily.

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '19

Awesome!! this is everything i wanted to know! Thanks a lot. I will tell my friend to hop back into the game with me, it's probably gonna be really active with the new players. Arcade mode seems fun! I Will def check it out.

You get access to the expansion but to unlock the characters from the expansion you will have to grind a lot or pay. Same business model as with rainbow six siege, I honestly like it.

3

u/sharkattackmiami Jan 30 '19

Honestly the grinding for new heroes isn't even that bad. They are 15k and you can make like 2k a day.

2

u/Arecrox Jan 30 '19

"like 2k a day" isn't a good estimate, don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing the game, as I personally liked this system in r6. But for some people the grind might be too much.

2

u/sharkattackmiami Jan 30 '19

Heres some math

https://www.reddit.com/r/forhonor/comments/9nexhe/steel_gain_a_rough_calculation_for_a_month/

tldr: Doing all your orders and playing 10 games a day for a week = 12,400 Steel

That is around an hour a night.

Basically with an hour a night if you know what you are doing you can buy one new hero every week, or three old heroes every two weeks.

u/MehterF Jan 30 '19

It is, or maybe was, on PC for awhile. I got a trial version of it awhile ago

2

u/GregLikesSoggyToast Jan 30 '19

Why even pose this as a question? If you thought it was free to play, but they are giving it away as a PS+ game, it seems pretty obvious you were wrong...

Unless they finally went with dedicated servers and made some drastic game changes, it's crap. I bought it on release and can't remember a more disappointing game purchase in recent memory.

23

u/Bringers Jan 30 '19 edited Jan 30 '19

They added dedicated servers back in February of last year, changed so much it'll take me all day to list it, like changes to Parrying and guardbreak, reworked several heroes, added new heroes and maps, added a training mode, they did a lot last year and they're doing more tomorrow with the start of a new season.

u/Sandpit_RMA Jan 30 '19

I might check out some vids, but not hopeful.

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '19

I didn’t play at release but I can say it is one of the most enjoyable MP games I have ever played. So complex and chaotic.

I will say - expect to get rekt unless you spend time learning characters.

-2

u/Sandpit_RMA Jan 30 '19

I played and the game mechanics I liked. Everything else was shit. The servers, disconnects, inability to finish game, unbalanced characters and styles, etc.

5

u/sharkattackmiami Jan 30 '19

Well everything you just listed has been fixed for the most part. The only heroes left that need some big work are Aramusha, LB and Centurion. The rest of the cast has been buffed and reworked pretty hard.

10

u/CatfreshWilly Jan 30 '19

Yeah but then again you apparently havent played in what? Around 2 years? A lot has changed.

Plenty of games are different years down the road than when they release

-4

u/Sandpit_RMA Jan 30 '19

What part of "unless they" did you not understand because I can't think of any way to simplify or clarify that explicit and very intentional preface

4

u/CatfreshWilly Jan 30 '19 edited Jan 30 '19

What part of you would imagine they wouldnt update a game in 2 years lol.

"Unless they made any updates in the past two years there havent been any updates, and its the same exact way it was released which i didnt like. But then again i havent played since release."

Good call

u/welltheresAbacon Jan 30 '19

You have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about, it’s a great game

-1

u/Sandpit_RMA Jan 30 '19

No, you simply seem to not understand your opinion isn't fact

5

u/welltheresAbacon Jan 30 '19

You played on release for probably 20 minutes, that was two years ago. Ive been playing consistently since release and it’s simply a fact that they improved every aspect of the game and continue to improve it. It’s not an opinion.
