Mount & Blade: Warband Dev Diary Talks Multiplayer

ehhhhhhh.... this guy... eeehhh... didn't.... eeeeeeh... make this game... ehhhh... how do you say? ehhhhh... sound interesting. ehhh.

I really feel like they're missing the real potential of multiplayer for this title. What I want, and what I personally am of the opinion would make a hit, is co-op or persistent versus maps you could save and return to with friends. If I could lead an empire and my friend could lead an empire and we could battle the AI or eachother or other players, that would be fun.

I really have no desire to play the majority of what they seem to peddling here, which is FPS style play in a game that is very much not an FPS. And while I haven't played it, it seems to me in a game with physics based melee and ranged combat, any amount of lag is going to feel totally unacceptable.

All of this is my opinion of course. And I didn't think the original idea sounded all that great and avoided the game for a long time, and when I finally played it I loved it. So maybe this will be equally awesome. I'm just a tad skeptical.

Errrr do you have a licence for that monkey ?

I'm hoping for coop. It'd be fun to fight together in the same army during the normal campaign.

I'll be buying the game. Loved the first one...but, my god what a horrid video. I don't care if you are a developer from a country that doesn't speak English, if you are pandering and applying to English speaking customers then you should act professional and use someone fluent in English.

...They clearly don't understand marketing terribly well there, but at least they make good games.

Is Taleworlds still just a guy, his wife, and a couple firends in a basement in Turkey? It would be insteresting to see what they could do with a bigger budget. Maybe smooth out some of the rougher edges.

Nice, but does it have LAN play or just online peer to peer B.S?

sweeeettttt. i think i just came.
