Chivalry: Medieval Warfare

[seremtan]

seen some of this on pootube let's play videos. looks amusing for a while but melee combat gets tedious quickly imho

you mean like this? (there's a bit of intro babble, but the actual combat bits look like the kind of thing you're talking about)

picked it up in a sale a while back, great game.

but aye, it's at its best in the team modes, especially the missions. choke points in FPS games get boring quickly, choke points in chivalry are fucking hilarious. charged into one swinging the largest of the bastard swords the other night and got a 4-for-1 decapitation at the same moment as someone else lopped my own noggin off with a similar move. noisy carnage to peaceful silence in less than a second. the camera (which stays in the eyes of your player model) spiralled and bounced off down the hill, along with everybody else's, like someone dropping a barrelful of apples.

archers are bloody irritating, but if one bothers you enough, you can walk over to them while they slowly turn your shield into a porcupine, and then beat the fucker to death with a spiked club.

OK, now I really want to play this game. Is the gameplay actually fun, or is it mostly awesome because you're dismembering people?

Bought this last night and love it. There are a lot of accidental moments that are just hilarious. Accidentally decapitating your teammates has never been so amusing.
