Mount and Blade

[Rated_R]

For those of you who dont know or dont care, Mount and Blade is an RPG/FPC (first person combat?) game.

It takes place in Medieval times with fictional factions who like to fight one another alot. It is 30 bucks even though it came out in 2007 But it is truly worth it. If you are a fan of RPG games at all you will pick this up. You start out as some n00b on the map, then you go to villages, pick up people and make an army (mine is about 155 strong). You can either join a Faction and help them take over the world. Or you can find a claimant and fight the other faction and basically be ruler of your own. Or you dont have to any of that, you can just roam around the map, looting, pillaging and killing.

Their is also ALOT of mods. The amount of detail put into some of these mods is just amazing. Some of them in my eyes could be stand alone games, they are just that good.

IGN (my favorite gaming media center) has given it an 8.

It may have graphics that are kinda dull like about a little bit better than BF2. And the world map looks like a kindergartner made it out of paper mache but it is just amazing.

You can take over Castles and rule them yourselves too.

So if your in the market to buy an RPG, buy this................ or else................... lol

I can attest to this being a great game if bad graphics do not bother you.

Correct me if I am not remembering this correctly.... It is a third-person game, not first. I guess you could zoom in to FP though maybe?

How does this compare to PVK Melee wise. Not equating the games or nothing but feel wise just wondering.

Oh wait....Carmine plays it?

I might have to buy it.

Sounds really interesting. And I second SturmBruder's question.

Thier is a zoom feature to see enemies on the horizon. Useful when using a trusty bow and arrow. Their is also a FP mode if you press R, but I dont use it too often, because if im not laying seige to a castle and pillaging it im on a horse, trying to chop off the other guys head.

Oh if your looking for an amazing mod, get the 100 Years War. Most amazing mod. Ever.

I haven't played PVK, but im Dl'ing now.

The directional attack system is similar to PVK, but I think it is executed better.

There's a number 2 coming soon, right? Because the graphics in that version looks much better.
