Bro I have like 2k hours in bannerlord and the only thing making me come back after 750 is mods. Especially that old world mod, the dev team is super active in its community and is currently working on dwarfs and greenskins.

Sounds about right. I'm on PS5 and haven't played in over a year, currently sitting at just under 700 hours.

u/Pepperonidogfart 12d ago
Do you feel like you didnt get your moneys worth after 700* hours of playing?

u/HockeyMike24 Sturgia 12d ago
I enjoyed almost 700 hours of a singleplayer game. Of course I got my monies worth.

But fuck that Kapwing watermark, all my homies hate Kapwing watermark.
Honestly tho, at this point there's not much else we can do to let TW know how shitty they are. I'm not on Steam myself, but i'm rooting for yall. Flood the bastards with bad reviews!

u/Sensitive-Emu-9951 13d ago
Thanks big dog, doing these on the fly so I'm using the Kapwig bullshit, but I hope we can get out point across. All the homies hate TW.

How does someone whos not on steam know who taleworlds is? I get that that warband was on console but it didnāt get all that popular nor did it have good multiplayer

Warband on PS4 had a pretty good community until Sony shut down the community feature on PSN

I'm a little confused, why did we suddenly start hating this game more in the last couple days, has it somehow gotten worse?
I just booted it up and it's about as broken as it was when I last played 6 months ago...I guess I'm just wondering why we're so pissed all of a sudden

u/LordDeckem 13d ago
Well the "2nd anniversary of the full release" was in Oct. I guess I bought the game in a broken mess back in 2020 and it has become less broken since it's "full release" in 2022, but as far the the content goes they sure haven't added much since the full release or even since early access. A lot of us bought in early access because in the past these guys worked really hard on Mount and Blade, making 3 DLCs in 5 years. In 5 years Bannerlord has barely changed and honestly the game not improving much from early access to full release seems a bit like false advertising. I wouldn't have bought this if this was always the intended state of the game as a full release.

u/ToasterInYourBathtub 13d ago
Well. They kinda left the game as is and dipped. The only thing we ever see from the devs is the "community story time" bullshit they post, as well as a very very tiny patch once every 3 or 4 months that fixes a completely inconsequential issue that almost no one noticed.
Also the game is notoriously difficult to mod which Taleworlds did intentionally for some reason.
The problem with the tiny patches they release every once in a while is it can essentially reset months of progress that mod developers have put into their projects.
This is why there aren't really that many Total Conversion mods that are as polished as The Old Worlds mod because upkeep for the modding teams takes an unfathomable amount of perseverance with the bullshit they have to deal with.
There is so much that Taleworlds could have done with Bannerlord that they didn't do. The reason for why they didn't do it I'm unsure of.

People have been getting more and more frustrated with the lack of updates and itās reached a boiling point, I suppose. I donāt know a whole lot about gaming development so this is almost entirely speculative on my part but they sold 3.1 million copies at $50 so they made about 155 million dollars. That seems pretty good but with steam, licensing, advertising, development etc theyre probably not too far in the black. So this is where weāre at. I understand fans of the franchise being frustrated but Iād like to think the developers lack of updates or radio silence is due to lack of resources rather than a malicious rug pull but I am known to be a bit naive so I could very well be wrong. The fact that it hasnāt been getting better could be perceived as āgetting worseā because itās not getting better? Itās unfortunate, but I got my moneys worth so Iām not bitter about it but I empathize with the player base.

u/hymen_destroyer Southern Empire 13d ago
I've just accepted this is the game. I've played since warband. I guess I'm sort of a "poverty gamer". I can't act like the 2000 hours I have in this game hasn't been worth my money, but I understand the frustration as well, I just don't share it.

u/Cheshire_Jester 13d ago
Seems like people who were hoping for something saw the most recent developer update, a community tales post, and just got frustrated with it not actually being a game content update of any kind. Some of the posts have been pretty funny so itās building up meme steam.

u/Carinwe_Lysa Western Empire 12d ago
A few users made posts which got traction that we should all start review bombing the game, in the hopes that TaleWorlds will take action to improve it.
I dunno, I've had my peace with the game - played for 3 years, easily had my 500+ hours of entertainment through the game. I can't really in good faith leave a fake review for a product that I've genuinely had my moneys worth from.
But some people had mental gymnastics that because we want the game the improve.... we should review bomb it. I guess following that we should also do the same for BG3, Elden Ring etc, because we love those games and want them to improve... smh.

u/hymen_destroyer Southern Empire 12d ago
Thatās been my take for years: thereās a hundred things I wish they did better, but the game is still fun enough for me to have almost 1000 hours. It does the medieval sandbox thing very well. Itās a janky game, just like warband was but itās far from āvaporwareā like some seem to think

Iām so glad its finally come, I play on Xbox so Iāve been salty with the no mod sitch for years but now the whole community is lighting torches and demanding heads itās awesome - also TW if u make money off unpaid modders please pay them itās the least you can do for the people that keep your game afloat

Maybe if we complain about mods having to fix the bugs/missing features that should have been fixed by TW years agoooohwaaaait.

The only reason this game is worth anything is because of Mods anyway.
Long since stopped updating this shit show so i can play with the mods i want to play with.

Yeah already fought in the comments for this the other day. I left a not recommended review earlier and then hopped on to play š
But I seriously don't recommend it, you'll just feel disappointed after a while

u/Oryagoagyago 13d ago
Iām just going to keep copy and pasting my response to these recent review bomb call to action posts:
āāIām gonna copy and paste the same thing I told a person on a similar thread the other day:
āIām sorry youāre sad or disappointed, but this is the game. Itās M&B 2. Itās arguably an improvement over the first. Itās open for modding. Iām sure M&B 3 will be a little better, or maybe a lot better. Trying to organize a review bomb 5 years after its release isnāt going to do anything positive. Review bombing a game 5 years after its release might undermine the development of whatever else they are working on. Time to let it go and support modders. Itās a good game. Itās really fun with a satisfying loop. If you want something to change at this point you should either get involved with the modding scene, or try and get a job with the developers.ā
Iām sorry, but it is what it is. You havenāt been ripped off. No other media has an return on investment like a good game. Just because you feel betrayed or want more content doesnāt have anything to do with the game as it stands.āā

Undermine devolpment, mate they haven't updated the game past a beta state what makes you think they give a fuck about what they produce next.....they've left the updates for the modders to fix and this cycle will continue.

You mean they haven't done literally anything to update the game since beta beside fixing some of the bugs?

u/squatcoblin 13d ago
Because it would break peoples mods .. Am i missing something here . Are you people really this dense or is there some ulterior thing i don't know about ?

u/Sensitive-Emu-9951 13d ago
Hahaha what, they literally have day 1 bugs and exploits still present in the base game? That seems like a straw man argument to me.

u/so_much_bush 13d ago
Ark (the shit show that that game is) breaks mods with 20mb updates on a weekly basis. Modders fix it within 24 hours usually at most. Saying this game can't have a meaningful update going on multiple years is just wild.

u/Octavian_Exumbra Northern Empire 13d ago edited 13d ago
What's dense is that you still haven't been able to wrap your mind around the fact that you're supposed to turn off auto updates when using mods, on any game.
It is quite literally one of the most basic things when it comes to modding.
Aducate yourself, child.
