A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I really wanted to get into this game, but had such a hard time grasping the combat.
In my experience once you get a long sword just walk backwards while spamming the perfect parry button until everyone around you dies
Though they're a little different, the trick is to have played enough Mount and Blade that you'd never tell anyone how much you've played Mount and Blade.
By that I don't mean mythical skills honed in combat. I mean cheese. Eventually the combat does click, though.
Once I reached the part where I could use the practice field with whats-his-name, I just grinded that for like 90 minutes until the combat made sense to my fingers
Just go full samurai, and by samurai I mean horse mounted archer.
