Your the best Jake always keeping it real, always come to your Chanel for the best info on games, but you should also do walk-throughs of games I and many others would enjoy this
gameranx played the first on my downtime while deployed. Been fiending for this since I first heard about it back in, what, 2014? Nice first impressions. Thanks!
I Remember one of the towns in my war band was pasted so shitly I had my bounty in a house deep in a woods on the outskirts of town. Hope to god the have good generation this time
@@jacobrudd6318 I'm a lucky boy. I'm selling my ps4 for 850 bucks(i have over 160 games and 30 are AAA) to an Englishman. I have also another 500 bucks and I'm gonna make a pc!
I was bummed when I ran into a game breaking bug about 1 hour into the game but then they immediately sent out an update that fixed it. I love you TaleWorlds :)
@@KingZealotTactics idk about op but i ran into one when accepting a poacher quest and it broke my save, they fixed the bug already tho aswell lol, theyre quick!
My dad made me fall in love with this game, I've always been into crusades and stuff like that, but when I saw this I started tearing up because he is no longer here with me to play amazing medival games(he was a huge m&b fan!)
And all of us tried to buy the minute it released, crashed steam like 3 times, and resorted to using workarounds like gifting it to avoid more broken store sections.
i like the trend how graphics are not everything like it used to be. we finally reached a comfortable point in graphics and processing where we can focus more on content and depth rather than a thin veneer of GPU burning textures
not for every game tho.. for real today game size keep getting bigger but with less content.. the size keep getting bigger because of high resolution texture and 3d models.. and if this game force you to put your graphic to the max, i think the pc is gonna explode when it come to the big battles like 100 vs 100
Front_Runner the only thing I use is a dell inspirion 15 laptop that works fine for pretty much anything. Only reason I would want a newer desktop is for the rxt card for the tensor cores. Even then the reason I want that has nothing to do with gaming
Mount and blade is one of the most fantastic series. There are obviously glitches and some duds (fire and sword) but I really enjoy them personally. Super stoked
Fire and Sword wasn't bad, but it was no better than mods that were out for Warband. If anything, it should've been a DLC like Viking Conquest or Nap Wars
I remember buying direct from the developer, early access version .7ish. Put a lot of hours in. Just played recently, although I spend more time in the Warband version now. When I first played the demo, I hated it. The combat was too complicated to pick up quickly. I kept coming back though, and as I got better, and my character leveled up, I got hooked. That seems to be how I initially react to my favorite games. I hate them at first because there is too much to learn, but I keep coming back, figure it out, and get hooked. Haven't bought Bannerlord yet, but I'm sure I will.
@@mazen6446 I saw it on geforce now, no waiting for downloads on the cloud! but then again if you got crappy internet you probably cant run geforce now... but maybe. I know the feels it took me literally 1 week to download BF1 after i bought it at the store. Now i got good internet but no gaming PC, so geforce now is perfect, might just buy some games instead of getting a gaming PC first, developers should be happy about this.
This sounds like a real RPG, as in role playing, as in, you can be anyone and do anything. Today an RPG is actually just an action adventure with RPG elements.
@@rotimijohnson6536 it's extremely addictive. I've played 25+ hrs already. If your on the fence about it I would try Mount & Blade: Warband it's a good representation what's so great about the series and it's $20 on steam
@@Bigskeeterrr There is certainly a lot of things still missing in the game, loads of bugs etc. But looking at the patches that have come out every day now the devs are certainly doing the best they can. Workshop support is also on it's way, so give it time and you'll probably have a blast like i originally did with Warband :)
There is a video, that already shows which mods will release after EA. There were The lord of the rings, full invasion 3, also a world of ice and fire.. Sadly EA will end in 1 year( i hope that the mods maybe release more early)
This game has a ton of potential. The Mods in this are gonna be huge! I can't wait for Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Samurai, Hundred Years Wars. So many great mods are coming an I am so excited
take your time , when i played the first M&B everything was even less clear they throw you into a world and you do whatever you want , consider this game as live your life in the old age , you need money army fame allies , its as real as it gets , i will throw an advice , tournament and trading is your best 2 friends at the start ;) , this game deserve every penny believe me
@@mohamedjbareen2960 bruh I still remember my first savegame. I played a common female, had literally 0 clues what to do. Getting first recruited as mercenary and then becoming a lord was such a good feeling and when I finally got my first town after countless battles in which I've proven my skills in leadership I was so happy, knowing, that I earned it. This game catched the feeling of making progress and starting at the bottom so beautiful. Sadly I don't own a PC so I have to wait for full release, but I am already so hyped!
So Grandpa's game finally released. Pity he died. He has been telling me of tales of this one around the fire for eons now. I thought it was a fairytale.
Insta bought it as soon as it dropped. It's got it's rough edges being early access, but I'm already having fun. Finally own a castle and am building up my clan. It feels very familiar, while updating enough to be new and smoother
"There's a weird glitch where the beard obscures my view when I'm in first person". You've obv never grown a real beard, Jake. It happens IRL all the time.
I literally bought it 3 minutes after it came out hehe. I like it so far since all i wanted was a improvement on warband rather then something completly different like some games do.
I don't think the majority of those who played Warband wanted something different. Pretty sure most of us wanted improvements and improving they are. Needs some more work from what I have seen but damn is it nice.
@Cameron Mendez you know ive played for like 15 hours and Ive only run into 1 bug so a pretty good early access tbh I was prepared to be running into tons
@@palacsintacsatornaja6103 It looks a lot better than Warband. Maybe play warband again for comparison. Though yeah the graphics are hardly current gen. However that is to be expected considering the amount of models on the battlefield.
We actually forget some important things when we complain about it took 8 years for this game to come out. Guys TaleWorlds is not a big and rich company like ubisoft, EA, Bethesta and even Fromsoftware etc. yes they had time but they didnt have enough resources and manpower when they started devoloping this game.
Review the mods. That's where the game really shines.. they built a great foundation for modders Game of thrones is already in development and many others. Multiplayer is fun with captain mode. Siege is unorganized as usual that's with public players, joining a clan will bring you the most fun.
Mods are half the glory but warband was and still is amazing on its own. Sieges are actually very organized and work amazingly organically if you give people an objective like a flag. And Bannerlord does. Its(and warband and wfas's) sieges in mp are like nothing else out there.
For me the best feeling ever in the mount and blade games is when someone just absolutely destroys you in a battle, then you come back with a huge army and just ohhhh them you know
I loved how you can rise yourself to greatness, commit a mistake, be buried into the mud and rise again. Or even change your ways completely. It was so great. I'm eager to try this one. :D
Fans for years: “Neverlord. Just release the game already! What’s taking so long? Just release early access! I’ve given up hope on ever getting to play Bannerlord” Developers concede and put it in early access w/ a 10% (possible 20%) discount : (Some) fans: “WTF! What’s with these glitches! The game is so unpolished! It’s unfinished!” Devs of a small company releasing patches everyday, despite COVID, goes unappreciated. -_-
@@naokurogami grow up. It is a massive game with much work having needed to be done for a small studio. Plus as a commenter said above me they created a whole new game engine, that takes time, the fact that most people could carry on playing warband way up to the release of bannerlord shows the potential and that we should be excited not annoyed.
So after having played literally 100s of hours of the original I can say this is neither a triumph or a disappointment. It feels like 3 steps forward, 1 large leap to the side, followed by a slip and a sore arse. Will probably be great in 9 months.
You probably played this game the way you played warband. You probably didnt explore the new features. I'm not proud of it but i spent 1k+ hours on warband, and the new features on bannerlord are numerous! have u become a lord yet? If not, your review is invalid.
As a 1500+ hour vet of Mount & Blade, I can say that the game is good. It is very early release, that's for sure, but it's a giant improvement over Warband in many ways. I can't wait to see them polish it and add more to it
The game (assuming it's somewhat like old Mount and Blade games) doesn't need to teach you anything. That's part of why it's so great. You're dropped into the middle of a world and it's up to you to shape that world how you want it. You can lead a king to total world domination, or you can take over the world yourself, you can meddle in politics to create wars between nations, or you can just destroy everything in your path and make your army larger and richer every step of the way. The tutorial is extremely short because it doesn't want to point you in a certain direction, it wants you to just do what you want to do.
One of the many problems with this game. With it's copy and pasted towns. The NPC's looking like clones of each other. The game breaking bugs. The horrible user interface. This game has been in development for so long and charges you the full $50 price tag and feels very half assed.
@@Chris-yv7jy you say this, but really, can you honestly make the argument that EA titles deserve to be worth $50? In what way of thinking is Bannerlord not better than Starwars Battlefront 2?
The devs are working very quickly to put out patches. it's been out for a day and there's already one quickfix patch and a second slightly bigger patch.
and yet i need to sacrifice a small child and goat to the Eldrich beings of the chaos Realm for the game to launch, and after i offer them the left side of my body it still doesn't launch.
The game gave me a preset offonly High and Medium Graphic settings and I had to turn it all to low and sacrigice my first born child just so i can attack without crashing the game
@@siegfried. I know I know it is a basic but what I meant is that at least he should say something like this ( with different factions up to 8 factions with different types of troops in each of them ) Even tho the empires are the same.
Vanilla Morrowind crashes constantly. Vanilla Oblivion crashes pretty regularly. Skyrim crashes regularly. It is silly to say that about an Early Access game and compare it unfavourably to a game series which is known for its many bugs and glitches. And I say this as a big fan of older Elder Scrolls games - I love them, but they have deep flaws and stability is one that persists in all of them. Looking at my personal experience at least, in comparison to FINAL versions of all mentioned TES games, M&B 2 Bannerlord v.1.5 EA version has been very stable.
@@p.av.7677 basically in the original Mount And Blade, when u talk with the peasants, they will shout on your face ITS ALMOST HARVESTING SEASON! or MY LORD! 😂
Got it on release and I'm a solid 16 hours deep into it. The game gives me oldschool warband vibes but with so much new stuff mixed in. The graphics are fantastic and the combat has just been made better. The way in which you join and fight with armies has been greatly improved and is an absolute blast. The castle sieges are insane, a little bit laggy at times but I'm sure it will be optimised. Overall, this game slaps.
AvaLanche baybee I’m having fun with it too, but it terms of new things to do, there isn’t really anything I’ve noticed yet. Sure, lots of existing activities have been greatly revamped, but nothing seems completely new to me yet.
@@ernavill3261 The first 3 years were thrown away because they made a new engine, so they worked 5 years on it. For a small team of people that's quite fast tbh, but if you can do better I like to see you create a game. Oh wait u can't?
@@kwando472 just because I can't do something myself doesn't mean I have to meekly enjoy what others do. I can't make a billion dollar Hollywood film either, but doesn't mean I have to like them. Or do you also always thank the barber for a lousy haircut, just because you can't do any better yourself?
This will be absolutely insane with mods. The game itself is awesome already, and it's still in early access. Spent hundreds of hours in Warband, this is a huge step up from that in almost all ways.
@@seanturner1255 Bethesda are some of the worst game developers out there. They got lucky with a few games but they are way too casual and easy. Their games are also broken and never get fixed, devs just abandon the game and then move onto the next one to milk the consumers more.
KK ok. Gonna take the bait. How did you ask the question? It's a reasonable assumption that the culture perhaps changed between the time of the two games. For example, long ago in the middle east, women were granted way more rights then you'd expect compared to how they are treated today. The fact that you use "feminazi" unironically leads me to believe that you were being a sperg in your posts and that's what led to your ban. I highly doubt the question of women in military alone is worthy of a ban. Secondly, what are your specs? I play this thing modded to hell and I've still only had two legitimate crashes. None since patch updates.
@@quagmireforsale i have 68 hrs and 2 crashes on a nice system with an old gpu, so we'll call it mid tier. very solid performance and at this point there has been 4 patches, so im happy they are working so hard on resolving issues
Bad analogy. The New tool album sucks. Their drum and bass tone changed. And honestly it eas not worth the hype. Bannelord on the other hand is really really fucking good
@@mistry6292 bannerlord kinda sucks too tbh its literaly an hd warband thats it Edit:After playing more ive realized that while the early game is straight up the same as warband there are huge differences in the middle and late game. Its definitly a good sequel.
For the people that say "Omg, 8 years of development!" Let me tell you a story about a game developer called 3D Realms... Also it's a Turkish company, and I don't know if you're aware of what's happened with Turkey's economy in the last few years.
Taleworlds made a truckload of money on the original game, Warband then the expansions/DLC (and they deserve every penny of it). If anything the "lateness" was due to them making a whole new homemade engine and apparently the lead dev behind it leaving before it was finished.
Here's where I'm out a with Bannerlord. Being a fan of M&B with about a thousand hours in it, when I heard that this came out I went straight to the steam store. I bought it and waited at my computer for it to download. I was extremely happy to see that they kept the factions very similar to the old ones and was excited when I jumped in. The UI is a drastic improvement and it feels like I'm playing a new game overall. The graphics are so much better, the town's are more detailed, same with the cites. Recruiting is slot easier, the AI actually have a brain. When it comes to fighting, formations and commands are listed out so much better. Even in sieges, the ability to build siege equipment and attack with it is somthing brand new and awsome! The game giving us the ability to also let it upgrade our companions for us is so much more relaxing and the loot from battles is awsome! There is also cleans and gangs which add a lot into the game. This all being said, I shared a similar experience when I first played the game and found a glitch or two. It was a bit disheartening but it was workable. I'm excited to see where the community will take Bannerlord when it comes to mod development and so on! It's worth buying!
Total agree. The first few glitches I found have already been patched out. TaleWorlds is doing it right. I find the siege defense a bit disappointing; when I try to command units to parts of the wall they form clumps, so I just let the AI command take over while I throw fire pots (which is the coolest add ever). One major fix they need is faction balance; I have seen Vlandia roll half the map twice without my help, which basically forces me to side with them to reach game end.
Indie Detective bro I joined vlandia as we were taking over the western empire and the battinias then 10 hours of real life gameplay later the khanates steam roll everything
Dramoka idk I think it’s a cool factor because warband wars were to static with nothing happened but they fixed the snowball thing already so it’s already fixed. The reason it happened was because what ever faction was the closest to destroying another one the lords would defect because they lost their fiefs
@@caysonrowland6189 also it's sound very incorrect to me that kingdom's which have existed for centuries get's destoyed by one neighbour in 2-3 month ez no problem rush b
I'm going to be honest with you. As this game neared release, I was actually concerned about my relationship. I thought, "How can I find the time grind like I did on Warband when I was a kid?" I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to immerse myself in it after YEARS of waiting. I'm happy to tell you that by a stroke of luck, the relationship ended just as this game released, and I now have many well-spent hours in this game. It brings me back to the good old days of massive battles and sieges for hours on end. I was a bit pissed that they released this game right as my work season started as well, but I still have the weekends to play it. For new players, ya, they should probably wait. I mean it will be fun, but if you didn't grind on Warband, you probably don't understand the glorious act of playing this game with the graphics it has, and the potential to create lineage. OH IT'S BEAUTIFUL :')
Lol. I know what u mean. I plan out my relationships (if you could really call them that) based on releases of life sucking social-life ending games. Games before Hos.
I've played all of the previous Mount & Blades, absolutely loved them and honestly, even if this game was just a graphic overhaul with just a few tweaks to the originals, I would still buy it
I hold this series so close to my heart, It was early 2009 and my dad had a subscription to a pc magazine and one month it came with this free lite version of a game called "Mount and Blade", he gave it to me and I had an absolute blast with it, but this lite version only had the possibility to play the arena battles and I had no idea that it was any other than that. A few years later when I was browsing steam I found out that this game had even more to offer than an Arena and until this day I still play it, but finally the time has arrived for this one :D
Rōkun dude I feel u I tried to down load war and when I was like 10 and accidentally downloaded viruses lmao but I played it for the first time when I was 13 so like 3 years ago and I wear filled w excitement this game also holds a near and dear place in my heart and this one looks even better than the original
god I really hope that they do "with fire and sword" again. that, to me was the ultimate mount and blade. set perfectly in the early 1600s we had a transition between armour and greatswords being met with musket fire and pistols. you could hack your way through pitifully armoured sharpshooters or be one yourself and snipe people. given that they took a long time to reload and their inaccuracy, it was still fair. it just felt amazing when you were a cossack holding the walls of a doomed fort with a pistol and saber against the advancing russian kingdoms
fire&sword, vikings, napoleon wars were all offical mods of warband. they kept same engine but added bunch of new weapons, maps, features, quests. i'm sure after they make the current game decent enough, they will move on to doing those things again and we will eventually have a fire&sword in bannerlord's new engine. it will take a lot of time though, because bannerlord needs A LOT of improvements
It's literally downloading while I'm watching the video. I'm new to the series and the game is expencive for an early access title, but it looks promising and I figured I'd give it a try. I need more singleplayer games to relax with
Yeah. The game itself seems very rough in several aspects, but you can see that the effort is there, and with the insane daily patches, it seems like an honest group of dedicated devs.
This game is not for everyone. Although it's very fun and one of my favorite games. It has it's frustrating moments like when you lose your entire army that you have been working on for hours in a single battle. Or when an arrow comes out of nowhere and just one shot you in the head. If you rage quite alot, this game will not be for you. It takes alot of time to build an army and your player's skills. But once you do build a massive army and you start taking on everyone or when you take your own first castle, you feel proud and some kind of accomplishment.
@@4everBlackMetal Why is it cheating? I don't save scum alot, but isnt the point of a game is to enjoy it? If you enjoy having the best outcome who are you lessing the experience of? As you said it's a single play game. No will care and they shouldn't lol
After playing M&B Warband until Bannerlord showed up, I can say that this is a huge upgrade. Love it so much! Hope they make a viking conquest and fire and sword versions too!
Bannerlord has more content then warband already in early access . If you’re new , buy it . Warband is one of the greatest games ever and this is already an improvement . (Things are missing but will be added fast) Join the community and watch the game grow from its state that its in now to the greatest game ever
UvuvwevwevweOnyetenyevweUgwemuhwemOssasVEVO game’s been built to mod . Made it easy to add features . Community has their hands on the game now so suggestions, balancing and bugs will be reported . They fixed about 10 game breaking bugs in a day after release once the community reported them . There’s no more game breaking bugs now just minor once that have been discovered , So they are fixing bugs like no tomorrow . I don’t actually know that they’ll add features fast but the fact that the game has been built to, well, add features and that the dev team seems to be very responsive to community suggestion and report makes me believe they’ll give us maybe fortnightly updates of new features
@@lorddiethorn yeah castle fights (especially when defending) tend to crash a lot. i think it's related to interactable siege features like ladders/breakable walls etc. because once enemies break the gate fps drop vanishes for some reason
Who else can’t nor wait for the Last days of the third age mod. It’s the best mod ever created and whit the new graphics it’s gonna be insane. Love the lord of the rings
The developers of Last days of the third age stated that they probably wont port the mod to bannerlord. But if you are exited for a bannerlord Lotr Mod search for the mod "Kingdoms of Arda", they have released some incredible concept art already.
Darkyne LP when it comes to middle earth I kinda only like the third age. I’m not super hyped for first age. But I can go whit second age. I just like to ride around middle earth and se the characters from the books like. But I know that many of the elves characters lived in all the ages
> Warning: Wall of Text ahead < This is the only game Ive ever seen where the Singleplayer and the Multiplayer have their separated fandoms. Sinpleplayer people dont play multiplayer much, multiplayer people dont play singleplayer much. Both of them have their own big mods and different preferences. While singleplayer is very tactical and rpg-ish, the multiplayer is very pvp-based. The mods are hands down the best thing about it. While the game itself delivers a great fundament, its the mods that will make you stick around for longer than you expected (personally stuck to this game for over 7(!) years because of two multiplayer mods). So how's the game for veterans? There's both excited faces and sad faces. Excited because the game is in its core the same thing (which is exactly what people wanted) but has a lot of nice and clever improvements. Sad because its still kinda buggy and unfinished despite the development taking so agonizingly long. Singleplayer still lacks a lot of content, features and fixes, multiplayer is ok-ish and improved, but the combat system still needs quite some work and polishing to be an as crisp and rewarding experience as the warband combat was (also, theres a lack of gamemodes, we still need duel servers, battle servers and overall servers where friendly fire is activated). Should you buy or rather wait? You can do both Id say. You can already get quite a solid experience now, but have to keep in mind that its early access, theres still a lot that needs to be fixed and it will take at least a year to get it done. But you can also wait and check back later for release to get the ultimate sweet first experience once you dive in, I already envy those who have never played the game and will get their first experience at launch once this leviathan is polished and ready to drink from skulls. What gives me hope is that the devs actually listen to the feedback and improve the game based on it. Compared to september 2019 the combat has become so much better and so many other things have gotten a great improvement aswell, the team is currently hotfixing and shooting out patches like crazy (good job!). The only thing you need is good patience though, Taleworlds is slow and it will take quiiite a while until you get the game that you wanted. But, well, in the end, you actually get the game that you wanted. Rock on, Taleworlds!
I did play all Mount & Blades in the past, and I can tell this one is way more polished than the previous games and it's only Early Access. There is high hopes this will be, by far, the best of the franchise.
the game that i’ve personally waited 6 years for most people have developed full lives since warband and now i have a ps4 after the years and won’t be able to play foreverrrr :,(
@@Razor_Afterlife"GeForce Now" might be a good option for you in the future. The best game streaming service on the market for people with older PCs and it's pretty damn cheap.
I’ve always wanted to play games like this. Where you can go to war medieval style and use actual real time strategy, setting up flanks, placing archers, etc. Will give this a try.
they did everything that will make the game more enjoyable and i am happy they did use some of the same concepts from the previous title, i wouldn't play bannerlord if it was worse than its own previous title, fortunately it is enjoyable, i have like 500 hours already on bannerlord its sooo good
Con mon everything just works better. It’s more so easier to skip the things you didn’t like. Don’t like exploring towns? Everyone that has a mission is there from the screen where you first click on the town. Hate following people for days when your just slightly faster than them and they want you to help on their campaign? It’s still random but you can join the army. There’s some preplanning to sieges. There’s more interacting with people. There’s kind of a story. The weapons feel significantly more unique. The factions seem to have more personality. It’s not something completely new and most of the game really is like a refined warband, but I think it’s great. War and had incredible concepts but it was so limited and it seemed like a chore to do most things (recruit troops, join campaigns, find quests, find that one person in a town or city that is literally NOWHERE) Bannerlord just makes it seem like there’s less downtime and makes it easier to get to whatever aspect you enjoy most.
Lol that's nothing. We waited for FF15(or what we thought was 13) to come out for like 10 years. Kingdom Hearts 3 we waited like 15 years. 5 is nothing.
Yes like evidenced by the tons of people who responded to Talesworld posts, saying that they can't even play the game as it keeps crashing on startup...
@@ernavill3261 yeah I hope these tons of people get the patches they needed as soon as possible. Cause tons of people can open it too and and can confirm its working better thatn fully released games *coughs* *ubisoft*
@@ernavill3261 well it is an EA game so thats expected, it sucks really but it happens, the game itself is great certainly has the potential to be incredible but for now its still a revamped warband since most new things are disabled for at least a few months
I've played about 49 hours of the game so far and I have to say it's amazing. I have experienced framerate drops to as low as 5fps for periods of 10+ minutes but most of the time it tends to be on a consistent 30+fps
I've bought the early access and from what I can see, It's alright. Being a warband veteran myself I am excited for It but just like this video said, I still feel like there's some/ many things missing, of course It's early access so yeah. All I can say is, If you watched enough videos about the gameplay and really really enjoy It, then buy It because what you saw is what you'll get, If you're not that impressed with the limited access so far, then wait a while for more updates/ patches or launch.
OHHHHH Yeahh!! Ibought this game and played 12 hrs already and enjoyed every second of it.. keep in mind though i have also played mount and blade warband for 500-600 hrs so i felt right at home in this one.. its a great game and im exited about the things to come ♥.
Bannerlord is more developed than many AAA titles. Love the game, highly recommend it. 10/10. Would love to be in a bigger map, also open world troop movement seems high, NPC's can drag you halfway across the open world map trying to engage them.
I am loving Bannerlord so much. Especially the improved combat AI. This AI will do plenty of moves that I see online players do, like feint attacking and waiting to strike when your guard is down and it I still lose sometimes to it 1 vs 1. This will make the transition from single to multiplayer a lot smoother for new players.
I’m already addicted to this game and it’s only early access. 😱 but seriously LOVING my Mongolian inspired Khuzait army. Just something about having an army completely full of heavy melee cavalry and heavy archer cavalry is so satisfying to watch as you run down every army you come across in the field even when outnumbered.

i like the trend how graphics are not everything like it used to be. we finally reached a comfortable point in graphics and processing where we can focus more on content and depth rather than a thin veneer of GPU burning textures
Truth. Some years ago, you would need to update hardware every two years to keep up with new graphics.
My PC is 5 years old and just fine.
not for every game tho.. for real today game size keep getting bigger but with less content..
the size keep getting bigger because of high resolution texture and 3d models..
and if this game force you to put your graphic to the max, i think the pc is gonna explode when it come to the big battles like 100 vs 100

Mount and blade is one of the most fantastic series. There are obviously glitches and some duds (fire and sword) but I really enjoy them personally. Super stoked
Lol the only one I have is fire and sword
Fire and Sword wasn't bad, but it was no better than mods that were out for Warband. If anything, it should've been a DLC like Viking Conquest or Nap Wars
Fire and sword wasn't even that bad tho lol
With fire and sword was pretty good, but it’s even better when you mod it.
The mods are the best. Medieval conquest keep me going for years longer.
If you bought the original Mount&Blade back in September 2008, this game costs 25 cents for every month of your life since then.
best 25 cents ive ever spent in my life
I remember playing mount and blade way before it was warband like 05-06 that was when I was in high school. Glad to see it going strong
I've played it for almost 300 hours, that's a cheap per hour thrill even compared a happy meal.
I remember buying direct from the developer, early access version .7ish. Put a lot of hours in. Just played recently, although I spend more time in the Warband version now.
When I first played the demo, I hated it. The combat was too complicated to pick up quickly. I kept coming back though, and as I got better, and my character leveled up, I got hooked. That seems to be how I initially react to my favorite games. I hate them at first because there is too much to learn, but I keep coming back, figure it out, and get hooked.
Haven't bought Bannerlord yet, but I'm sure I will.

Funny thing you mentioned those AAA devs who can't make a single good game that won't flop
Makes me appreciate great games that were basically made by a one-man-army like ea stardew valley or something.
Wasn't the first on made by only two people? A husband and wife as I understand.
Youre soooo right. Some 'big' companies suck at making games while small comps like taleworlds do cool stuff given enough time.
Review the mods. That's where the game really shines.. they built a great foundation for modders Game of thrones is already in development and many others. Multiplayer is fun with captain mode. Siege is unorganized as usual that's with public players, joining a clan will bring you the most fun.
Mods where the best
Mods are half the glory but warband was and still is amazing on its own. Sieges are actually very organized and work amazingly organically if you give people an objective like a flag. And Bannerlord does. Its(and warband and wfas's) sieges in mp are like nothing else out there.
Game of Thrones? That sounds awesome.
Are there plans for a napoleonionic(however u spell it) mod and also where do you get the mods for it
I played atleast 500 hours on the Awoiaf mod can't wait to seige king's landing and braavos

“The tutorial teaches you practically nothing” sweet
The game (assuming it's somewhat like old Mount and Blade games) doesn't need to teach you anything. That's part of why it's so great. You're dropped into the middle of a world and it's up to you to shape that world how you want it. You can lead a king to total world domination, or you can take over the world yourself, you can meddle in politics to create wars between nations, or you can just destroy everything in your path and make your army larger and richer every step of the way. The tutorial is extremely short because it doesn't want to point you in a certain direction, it wants you to just do what you want to do.
One of the many problems with this game. With it's copy and pasted towns. The NPC's looking like clones of each other. The game breaking bugs. The horrible user interface. This game has been in development for so long and charges you the full $50 price tag and feels very half assed.

Me, a highly experienced elder scrolls player: *laughing hysterically*
Yeah, considering the early access stat ed of this game. It's remarkably stable.
Vanilla Morrowind crashes constantly. Vanilla Oblivion crashes pretty regularly. Skyrim crashes regularly. It is silly to say that about an Early Access game and compare it unfavourably to a game series which is known for its many bugs and glitches. And I say this as a big fan of older Elder Scrolls games - I love them, but they have deep flaws and stability is one that persists in all of them.

NGL I don't think I've seen a single identical town, are they talking about the cities? Because I don't really walk around those
that was me ngl XD
The mod creators will fix that, heck they will mod this so hard its gonna scare skyrim
Here's where I'm out a with Bannerlord. Being a fan of M&B with about a thousand hours in it, when I heard that this came out I went straight to the steam store. I bought it and waited at my computer for it to download. I was extremely happy to see that they kept the factions very similar to the old ones and was excited when I jumped in.
The UI is a drastic improvement and it feels like I'm playing a new game overall. The graphics are so much better, the town's are more detailed, same with the cites. Recruiting is slot easier, the AI actually have a brain. When it comes to fighting, formations and commands are listed out so much better. Even in sieges, the ability to build siege equipment and attack with it is somthing brand new and awsome! The game giving us the ability to also let it upgrade our companions for us is so much more relaxing and the loot from battles is awsome! There is also cleans and gangs which add a lot into the game.
This all being said, I shared a similar experience when I first played the game and found a glitch or two. It was a bit disheartening but it was workable. I'm excited to see where the community will take Bannerlord when it comes to mod development and so on! It's worth buying!
Total agree. The first few glitches I found have already been patched out. TaleWorlds is doing it right. I find the siege defense a bit disappointing; when I try to command units to parts of the wall they form clumps, so I just let the AI command take over while I throw fire pots (which is the coolest add ever). One major fix they need is faction balance; I have seen Vlandia roll half the map twice without my help, which basically forces me to side with them to reach game end.
Indie Detective bro I joined vlandia as we were taking over the western empire and the battinias then 10 hours of real life gameplay later the khanates steam roll everything
@@caysonrowland6189 I feel like the factions shouldn't be destroyed like that. I think the game should let them have the abililty to comeback.
Dramoka idk I think it’s a cool factor because warband wars were to static with nothing happened but they fixed the snowball thing already so it’s already fixed. The reason it happened was because what ever faction was the closest to destroying another one the lords would defect because they lost their fiefs
@@caysonrowland6189 also it's sound very incorrect to me that kingdom's which have existed for centuries get's destoyed by one neighbour in 2-3 month ez no problem rush b
I'm going to be honest with you. As this game neared release, I was actually concerned about my relationship. I thought, "How can I find the time grind like I did on Warband when I was a kid?" I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to immerse myself in it after YEARS of waiting.
I'm happy to tell you that by a stroke of luck, the relationship ended just as this game released, and I now have many well-spent hours in this game. It brings me back to the good old days of massive battles and sieges for hours on end. I was a bit pissed that they released this game right as my work season started as well, but I still have the weekends to play it.
For new players, ya, they should probably wait. I mean it will be fun, but if you didn't grind on Warband, you probably don't understand the glorious act of playing this game with the graphics it has, and the potential to create lineage. OH IT'S BEAUTIFUL :')
Lol. I know what u mean. I plan out my relationships (if you could really call them that) based on releases of life sucking social-life ending games.
Games before Hos.
As a MGTOW, this is never a problem :D
@@angelobronte1452 yeah i bet, incel
I've played all of the previous Mount & Blades, absolutely loved them and honestly, even if this game was just a graphic overhaul with just a few tweaks to the originals, I would still buy it

Bold of you to assume it'll take only five years...
Only 2 more years 🎉🎉
I just got it on xbox gamepass, you were close
I hold this series so close to my heart, It was early 2009 and my dad had a subscription to a pc magazine and one month it came with this free lite version of a game called "Mount and Blade", he gave it to me and I had an absolute blast with it, but this lite version only had the possibility to play the arena battles and I had no idea that it was any other than that. A few years later when I was browsing steam I found out that this game had even more to offer than an Arena and until this day I still play it, but finally the time has arrived for this one :D
Is it just me or does any game with a arena seem to be an instant hit?
Rōkun dude I feel u I tried to down load war and when I was like 10 and accidentally downloaded viruses lmao but I played it for the first time when I was 13 so like 3 years ago and I wear filled w excitement this game also holds a near and dear place in my heart and this one looks even better than the original
@@aidenlamarche1221 I'm the same as you guys I was in the beta for the original mount and blade In 2006 been playing it ever since
god I really hope that they do "with fire and sword" again. that, to me was the ultimate mount and blade. set perfectly in the early 1600s we had a transition between armour and greatswords being met with musket fire and pistols. you could hack your way through pitifully armoured sharpshooters or be one yourself and snipe people. given that they took a long time to reload and their inaccuracy, it was still fair. it just felt amazing when you were a cossack holding the walls of a doomed fort with a pistol and saber against the advancing russian kingdoms
fire&sword, vikings, napoleon wars were all offical mods of warband. they kept same engine but added bunch of new weapons, maps, features, quests. i'm sure after they make the current game decent enough, they will move on to doing those things again and we will eventually have a fire&sword in bannerlord's new engine. it will take a lot of time though, because bannerlord needs A LOT of improvements
Modders for warband made entire new games with its engine
@lone beast really? I never found it to have any more bugs than warband. Sometimes a drop in frame rate, but otherwise the same
TOTAL WAR ATTILA (MAP & ERA) + KINGDOM COME DELIVERENCE ( COMPLEX BATTLE MECHANICKS ) + BANNERLORD + CRUSADER KINGS (DIPLOMACY) = ULTIMATE GAME ( + VR) = PERFECTION
After 8 years it's finally harvesting season. Blessed we are by the Butterlords.
The raided farmers’ prophecy has come true after all this time
all kneel for the feast king of Swadia
it's almost harvesting season
That feeling of forming a wedge with my 11 vlandian knights and smashing into 140 imperial infantry and win... Ahhhhh just like warband I love it!
Lol you must have your damage super low then
Patrick Turner yea if you try that on realistic, the throwing weapons will get you before you get close
mrgamingking18 you can’t even do that on easy. They just swarm you and you can’t even swing your sword.
Thee who remembers the glory of the Swadian Knights, I welcome.
@@airwaveraptor125 Swadia Knights ftw :D
I remember grinding the original Mount and Blade years ago, Like when I was 14 or 15. This game definitely has a nostalgic effect on me.
Who else loves watching before you buy even when you've already bought the game?
Me haha
ReD it’s called bias response look it up
@@c1audius It's called playing the last game and falling in love with the franchise response look it up
I like watching the ones where they have no idea how to play the game. Git gud
4:43 OMG YES! Now I don't have to run all the way to the other side to fight only 5 looters
If only you knew :D
It's literally downloading while I'm watching the video.
I'm new to the series and the game is expencive for an early access title, but it looks promising and I figured I'd give it a try. I need more singleplayer games to relax with
Well? ^^
8:26 pretty awesome ragdoll physics, knight gets stabbed and rolls down stairs in realistic manner ;)
Yeah. The game itself seems very rough in several aspects, but you can see that the effort is there, and with the insane daily patches, it seems like an honest group of dedicated devs.
This game is not for everyone. Although it's very fun and one of my favorite games. It has it's frustrating moments like when you lose your entire army that you have been working on for hours in a single battle. Or when an arrow comes out of nowhere and just one shot you in the head. If you rage quite alot, this game will not be for you. It takes alot of time to build an army and your player's skills. But once you do build a massive army and you start taking on everyone or when you take your own first castle, you feel proud and some kind of accomplishment.
My boy, lemme teach you an ancient M&B technique...

After playing M&B Warband until Bannerlord showed up, I can say that this is a huge upgrade. Love it so much! Hope they make a viking conquest and fire and sword versions too!
Bannerlord has more content then warband already in early access . If you’re new , buy it . Warband is one of the greatest games ever and this is already an improvement . (Things are missing but will be added fast) Join the community and watch the game grow from its state that its in now to the greatest game ever
How do you know that they will be added fast?
UvuvwevwevweOnyetenyevweUgwemuhwemOssasVEVO game’s been built to mod . Made it easy to add features . Community has their hands on the game now so suggestions, balancing and bugs will be reported . They fixed about 10 game breaking bugs in a day after release once the community reported them . There’s no more game breaking bugs now just minor once that have been discovered , So they are fixing bugs like no tomorrow . I don’t actually know that they’ll add features fast but the fact that the game has been built to, well, add features and that the dev team seems to be very responsive to community suggestion and report makes me believe they’ll give us maybe fortnightly updates of new features
I got one bug can’t endure some of the castle because it keeps crashing
@@rewqff Cool thanks.
@@lorddiethorn yeah castle fights (especially when defending) tend to crash a lot. i think it's related to interactable siege features like ladders/breakable walls etc. because once enemies break the gate fps drop vanishes for some reason
Who else can’t nor wait for the Last days of the third age mod.
It’s the best mod ever created and whit the new graphics it’s gonna be insane.
Love the lord of the rings
viktor merkur I have loved the lord of the rings for a long time so Im super hyped
The developers of Last days of the third age stated that they probably wont port the mod to bannerlord. But if you are exited for a bannerlord Lotr Mod search for the mod "Kingdoms of Arda", they have released some incredible concept art already.
Darkyne LP when it comes to middle earth I kinda only like the third age. I’m not super hyped for first age. But I can go whit second age.
I just like to ride around middle earth and se the characters from the books like. But I know that many of the elves characters lived in all the ages
I want my Nippon mod
> Warning: Wall of Text ahead <
This is the only game Ive ever seen where the Singleplayer and the Multiplayer have their separated fandoms. Sinpleplayer people dont play multiplayer much, multiplayer people dont play singleplayer much. Both of them have their own big mods and different preferences. While singleplayer is very tactical and rpg-ish, the multiplayer is very pvp-based.
The mods are hands down the best thing about it. While the game itself delivers a great fundament, its the mods that will make you stick around for longer than you expected (personally stuck to this game for over 7(!) years because of two multiplayer mods).
So how's the game for veterans? There's both excited faces and sad faces. Excited because the game is in its core the same thing (which is exactly what people wanted) but has a lot of nice and clever improvements. Sad because its still kinda buggy and unfinished despite the development taking so agonizingly long. Singleplayer still lacks a lot of content, features and fixes, multiplayer is ok-ish and improved, but the combat system still needs quite some work and polishing to be an as crisp and rewarding experience as the warband combat was (also, theres a lack of gamemodes, we still need duel servers, battle servers and overall servers where friendly fire is activated).
Should you buy or rather wait? You can do both Id say. You can already get quite a solid experience now, but have to keep in mind that its early access, theres still a lot that needs to be fixed and it will take at least a year to get it done. But you can also wait and check back later for release to get the ultimate sweet first experience once you dive in, I already envy those who have never played the game and will get their first experience at launch once this leviathan is polished and ready to drink from skulls.
What gives me hope is that the devs actually listen to the feedback and improve the game based on it. Compared to september 2019 the combat has become so much better and so many other things have gotten a great improvement aswell, the team is currently hotfixing and shooting out patches like crazy (good job!). The only thing you need is good patience though, Taleworlds is slow and it will take quiiite a while until you get the game that you wanted. But, well, in the end, you actually get the game that you wanted. Rock on, Taleworlds!
I did play all Mount & Blades in the past, and I can tell this one is way more polished than the previous games and it's only Early Access.
There is high hopes this will be, by far, the best of the franchise.
the game that i’ve personally waited 6 years for most people have developed full lives since warband and now i have a ps4 after the years and won’t be able to play foreverrrr :,(
I feel you man
Me too, my laptop is verrrry old so I wish this was released on PS4 but it would be hard to port
The game will come to ps4 , we have to wait 😍🖤
@@Razor_Afterlife"GeForce Now" might be a good option for you in the future. The best game streaming service on the market for people with older PCs and it's pretty damn cheap.
damn this is sad
I’ve always wanted to play games like this. Where you can go to war medieval style and use actual real time strategy, setting up flanks, placing archers, etc. Will give this a try.
Me watching a professional Ping-pong match: 1:52
Lol😂
I still can't get over the fact that they actually made bannerlord
they did everything that will make the game more enjoyable and i am happy they did use some of the same concepts from the previous title, i wouldn't play bannerlord if it was worse than its own previous title, fortunately it is enjoyable, i have like 500 hours already on bannerlord its sooo good
is there any other differences compared to warband other than just upgraded graphics?
Con mon everything just works better. It’s more so easier to skip the things you didn’t like. Don’t like exploring towns? Everyone that has a mission is there from the screen where you first click on the town. Hate following people for days when your just slightly faster than them and they want you to help on their campaign? It’s still random but you can join the army. There’s some preplanning to sieges. There’s more interacting with people. There’s kind of a story. The weapons feel significantly more unique. The factions seem to have more personality. It’s not something completely new and most of the game really is like a refined warband, but I think it’s great. War and had incredible concepts but it was so limited and it seemed like a chore to do most things (recruit troops, join campaigns, find quests, find that one person in a town or city that is literally NOWHERE) Bannerlord just makes it seem like there’s less downtime and makes it easier to get to whatever aspect you enjoy most.
Me and my friend heard about mount and blade bannerlord coming out when we were 15 years old...
I'm 20 now
Lol that's nothing. We waited for FF15(or what we thought was 13) to come out for like 10 years. Kingdom Hearts 3 we waited like 15 years. 5 is nothing.
@@panchovilla7580 this is not a competition but go off I guess
I was waiting for a negative review so I could comment "I will drink from your skull!" but yeah. Mount and blade is too good even in early access XD
Yes like evidenced by the tons of people who responded to Talesworld posts, saying that they can't even play the game as it keeps crashing on startup...
@@ernavill3261 yeah I hope these tons of people get the patches they needed as soon as possible. Cause tons of people can open it too and and can confirm its working better thatn fully released games *coughs* *ubisoft*
@@ernavill3261 well it is an EA game so thats expected, it sucks really but it happens, the game itself is great certainly has the potential to be incredible but for now its still a revamped warband since most new things are disabled for at least a few months
Bannerlord has shit optimization and disgusting performance and something dodgy is going on with gpu and cpu usage
@@mme9646 I agree. Even if it is fun it is still shit at optimization
I've played about 49 hours of the game so far and I have to say it's amazing. I have experienced framerate drops to as low as 5fps for periods of 10+ minutes but most of the time it tends to be on a consistent 30+fps
How good is your pc?
I've bought the early access and from what I can see, It's alright. Being a warband veteran myself I am excited for It but just like this video said, I still feel like there's some/ many things missing, of course It's early access so yeah. All I can say is, If you watched enough videos about the gameplay and really really enjoy It, then buy It because what you saw is what you'll get, If you're not that impressed with the limited access so far, then wait a while for more updates/ patches or launch.
OHHHHH Yeahh!! Ibought this game and played 12 hrs already and enjoyed every second of it.. keep in mind though i have also played mount and blade warband for 500-600 hrs so i felt right at home in this one.. its a great game and im exited about the things to come ♥.
play the multiplayer it is also really fun
Bannerlord is more developed than many AAA titles. Love the game, highly recommend it. 10/10. Would love to be in a bigger map, also open world troop movement seems high, NPC's can drag you halfway across the open world map trying to engage them.
I have never insta bought a game the second I seen it released until this dropped
I am loving Bannerlord so much. Especially the improved combat AI. This AI will do plenty of moves that I see online players do, like feint attacking and waiting to strike when your guard is down and it I still lose sometimes to it 1 vs 1. This will make the transition from single to multiplayer a lot smoother for new players.
I’m already addicted to this game and it’s only early access. 😱 but seriously LOVING my Mongolian inspired Khuzait army. Just something about having an army completely full of heavy melee cavalry and heavy archer cavalry is so satisfying to watch as you run down every army you come across in the field even when outnumbered.
The first one looked interesting, maybe I'll jump in on this one.
Give it a go even if its only to support more games like this

@@2wenty7RC haha they are a lot of fun yeah, and that's just a very small part of the game, there's so much to it! Have fun in your quest to conquer calradia(the world of Mount and blade), by the way you can conquer all the cities, castles, and villages haha
