I've heard good things, but the matchmaking is shit.

It really is. Ubisoft screwed the pooch on this one (these issues were present during the Closed Beta).

However, the combat system is AWESOME. Makes the shitty matchmaking worth it. The visuals in the game are fantastic as well.

I haven't played an Ubisoft game since AssCreed II. I really don't like what they're doing with the DRM system. Also, they seem to just do sloppy-ass, commercialized work like EA.

Bumping this for For Honor.

Only downside to this game is the networking/connectivity is so spotty. Nothing like going through matchmaking to get dropped right as the game starts and rinse/repeat.

I dumped my pre-order because I saw this during the beta. I put that money towards Has Been Heros and Deformers.

Anyone ever play the Fire Emblem series? Its Nintendo, but it can offer great tactics challenges and encourages critical thinking.

I've heard the single player campaign is also rushed (Haven't bothered with it yet).

It's clear Ubisoft focused on the actual PvP mechanics without too much thorough investigation and thought into how people were actually going to connect and play each other.

But like I said above, dropped connections aside, this game is still fun as hell.

I got annoyed at how the PvP seemed too linear if that makes sense? I just feel like it's another PvP with moving borders... the game itself is an after thought.

Anybody play the new Deus Ex?

First game I've encountered that I can't play on ultra at 60 fps, the graphics and atmosphere I simply amazing, I could crouch walk around future Prague all day.

Really gritty, techno cyber-punk whatever feel, story is about augmented humans versus vanilla humans and all the tensions and issues that causes, game is pretty cool.

I guess if you look at it broadly? In terms of find someone, try to kill someone, repeat until win? Is that what you mean? Or is it more cause it feels like a fighting game?

I personally like trying to tailor my strategy to the opponent (Bot vs. Player (and their playstyle), Is it Assassin/Hybrid/Heavy/Vanguard, Environmental Factors (Spikes, Ledges, Fire), Game Type, Feints, etc.).

For me, it's like a fighting game meets a MOBA (for Dominion mode), with bits of Demons's's's/Dark Souls and Bloodborne style combat mixed in.

Pretty much: find, kill, rinse, repeat. I've played all the games you've mentioned, and right now... I am far from amused with this game.

Graphics are great, but good graphics take a game only so far.
