For Honor... Is it Dead.. ?

What are you views on For Honor? When its working fine, I do find it extremely challenging and fun. However its connectivity issues truly have made the game into a complete train wreck of shambolic lagging game play and disconnection issues. My friend Hive account@crypto-curt recently wrote a blog confirming it had lost 95% of its players in the past 3 months... 95%.

An error message I think all For Honor players are all too familiar with. It is no doubt that the loss of players is a direct result of the awful connectivity issues. I for one really enjoy For Honor, especially the game type Brawl. I feel as though the game has so much potential, but something is just not right.

This decrease in players does coincidentally coincide with the release of new DLC: Shadow and Might. Another post written by Hive account@crypto-curt outlines just how frustratingly crazy it is fighting against the centurion. With centurion users spamming the same stamina draining moves, I spend most of the time on my ass getting jumped attacked.. hardly fun. However with the Shadow and Might expansion came the Shinobi. Assassin being my class of choice, i have really enjoyed playing as the Shinobi, a quick, agile, counter attacking ninja whos abilities really accommodate my playing style.

I am hoping that this is just a temporary low point with For Honor. Perhaps if Ubisoft could somehow correct the connectivity issues, and present multiple characters to increase enemy diversity, it could finally meet its built up potential.
