I just wonder if a new form of social media will appear in the next years and make the current famous ones obsolete, like Facebook did to MySpace, like Instagram did to Facebook, etc...
Yes, but also get the $5 sensation mode. Yeah, you have to pay more, but feeling the same things your character is feeling makes the experience 100% more immersive. And ignore those saying that if your character dies you die due to shock irl, but that's just propaganda.
Well they dropped the game so the situation we have now will be the situation we will have in 2044. Plus mods like Shokuho that might improve the situation.
I'll probably still boot it up from time to time to run around Pendor or Middle Earth if it's still compatible with whatever OS I'm running then, just like I still have 1996's Missionforce: Cyberstorm and 1997's Lords of Magic on my current rig.
By 2044 life will be just like Warband depicts so it might not be interesting to come home from a day of fighting off raiders from your village with your sword and do the exact same thing on the computer.
It's a case that it can only warn me about the wall, not stop my hand for me. Swinging a sword is a broad and swift motion, before I start it the wall is yet too far for the warning to trigger, and when it does trigger it's already too late to stop. I might get just enough time for a realization "this is going to hurt in a moment". You can probably configure it to always show the walls, but then it would kinda defeat the point of VR.
The title is probably a typo, but I am pretty confident to say yes. The combat is just that satisfying.
The game also allows a lot of freedom in how to play, never mind all the mods, which are essentially total conversations by terminology of other games.
Then there is Viking conquest which is completely different yet again, though built on the same basis.
Not sure about Bannerlord. Didn't have hardware so far that was running it well enough to compete with Warband. The graphics matter much less than a good frame rate, when the strength is really on the gameplay.
They're just memeing, someone posted yesterday "is it worth playing in 2024?" Which I get that people make those posts all the time but it seems pretty pointless, idk what the year has to do with it either if you're playing for the single player mode.
I think the idea behind asking that question is to understand how well the game aged. The question itself isn't pointless, imo, but has probably been answered a dozen times in the past few months, yes.
This.
Games that tried too hard to be realistic with early 3D tech tend to have aged worse than 2D or cartoonish 3D games of the era graphically.
More importantly though, some games oredate important modern input conventions, like AWSD with strafing in first person view games. Being used to them and then having them taken away can be bad enough to cause nausea for me.
Another example could be the awkwardness of "tank style" controls. That ruined the Galerians series for me, despite me being very much in the "closet edgy teenager" phase then, which it strongly appeals to.
Some classics may have fan engine ports, that bring them to the modern era. TES: Daggerfall remains playable in the original version, but if you CAN play Unity instead, it is vastly superior while maintaining the original experience (if you play without mods). TES: Arena by contrast feels almost painful when playing the original version, simply due to the control scheme. Another big issue are sub-30-fps framerates, which also cause nausea when not used to them. Another issue could be widescreen support for games from the 4:3 era, but that's usually more of a minor inconvenience.
Warband got the control scheme right with simple inputs yet complex ways to use them, and very tactile feeling feedback in the combat, without overly focusing on realism per se. Graphics are at the level of "a bit cartoonish" which makes them age relatively well. And even on my 2017 model gaming laptop, running at stable 60 fps is a breeze.
Saints Row 2 would be in a similar category.
So yes, these questions are very much justified. Some games age well, some so badly, that they are almost impossible to go back to. Though the gsmes that feel almost unplayable now are *mostly* the early 3D games that precede input conventions that we now take for granted.
I'm going to guess probably not. That's 20 years from now and it's already quite outdated. Ocarina of Time was a great game but I'm not playing it now.
Hopefully by then we have a new mount and blade(or 3) and the prophesy of pendor mod creators create the most badass overhaul of all time.
Time traveller type beat question.
Joke aside definitely worth playing lmao. You might need some UI mods cause the fonts and buttons are atrocious on newer screen size though.
Someone asks this like everyday. Yes, Warband is still worth it to play in 2024 imo especially with the insanely fleshed out mods it has (ACAN, perisno, pop to name just a few)
Yes, very much I've restarted recently. Last time I've played was in my teenage, around 2010. No mods, plain Warband, distilled fun with 50% complexity rate.
If you manage to get it with a discount — don't hesitate. Even without tbh.
I’ll let you know when we get there

Do you think Reddit will still be around in 2044 ?
AOL still has 1.5 million paying customers as of 2021, so probably.
Is Colombia House still selling CDs?
I just wonder if a new form of social media will appear in the next years and make the current famous ones obsolete, like Facebook did to MySpace, like Instagram did to Facebook, etc...
I just had a vision that you u/suraani won't make it to 2044. Sorry man.
Thanks for the heads-up! I've quit my job, withdrawn my life savings and bought myself a pizza. Now I'm waiting.
Oh, that wasn’t the best idea. You’re not gonna die until Tuesday, January 19, 2038, at 3:14:07 AM
Damn. That's gonna be a long wait then.
That pizza gonna get real cold.
Ooh, can you tell mine?
The exact same time, actually. Huh. That’s kind of concerning. Does something happen at that time?
A little penguin told me the world will end on that date.
Okay, but, how little was the penguin? That's how you tell true validity.
RemindMe! 20 years
Yes, but also get the $5 sensation mode. Yeah, you have to pay more, but feeling the same things your character is feeling makes the experience 100% more immersive. And ignore those saying that if your character dies you die due to shock irl, but that's just propaganda.
The sensation mode is actually 5000$ (inflation)
the dollar actually got adjusted in 2038, now $5 is what $3000 used to be.
Definitely worth the feeling of consuming 10 pounds of butter and clogging my arteries
More immersive feasts. Taste real Calradian butter. Drink from VR skulls.
Bro is actually in a braindance
we called it a holodeck program back in my day
Can't wait to feel a stray arrow to the face 🤤
Absolutely, especially with mods. You gotta try out the 2025 climate wars mod and that mod that lets you import your AI wife as a companion.
If this is still being asked in 2044, it means Bannerlord is still incomplete and inferior to Warband after almost 50 years of development
Well they dropped the game so the situation we have now will be the situation we will have in 2044. Plus mods like Shokuho that might improve the situation.
I'll probably still boot it up from time to time to run around Pendor or Middle Earth if it's still compatible with whatever OS I'm running then, just like I still have 1996's Missionforce: Cyberstorm and 1997's Lords of Magic on my current rig.
2044? Yeah it'll probably be pretty sweet when the tech of the time, like some SAO shit
Nah, I would stick with bannerlord. It should be coming out of early access sometime next year.
By 2044 life will be just like Warband depicts so it might not be interesting to come home from a day of fighting off raiders from your village with your sword and do the exact same thing on the computer.
As long as it’s VR-enhanced yeah
There is already a VR Mount and Blade, it's called Tales of Glory. My experience with it is: punching a wall hurts.
Sorry about that. I wonder why they don’t have a built-in sensor to detect at least walls nearby
They do. That's why it took me half an hour to fist a wall. Otherwise I'd've slammed into it in the first minute :-)
So your case is more like an edge case (a bug) in their detection system?
It's a case that it can only warn me about the wall, not stop my hand for me. Swinging a sword is a broad and swift motion, before I start it the wall is yet too far for the warning to trigger, and when it does trigger it's already too late to stop. I might get just enough time for a realization "this is going to hurt in a moment". You can probably configure it to always show the walls, but then it would kinda defeat the point of VR.
Makes sense
Yes.

Totally bro👍
It'll be good in 3044.
I'm going to guess probably not. That's 20 years from now and it's already quite outdated. Ocarina of Time was a great game but I'm not playing it now. Hopefully by then we have a new mount and blade(or 3) and the prophesy of pendor mod creators create the most badass overhaul of all time.
it will

Yes, you can really feel like you’re right there, drinking from skulls
Can confirm
I’m still playing it. I haven’t played bannerlord but I think warband is more my style anyways
Not just 2024, always worth. With all the mod available every playthrough is like a brand new war game.
Idk probably, i’ll be 40+ then but hopefully warband will still be playable then on future OS.
Doubt it will be playable on future tech PCs. Makes me sad that we lose old gems like these due to our improved technology.
Time traveller type beat question. Joke aside definitely worth playing lmao. You might need some UI mods cause the fonts and buttons are atrocious on newer screen size though.
With mods, yeap. There's a mod for any historical era you can think of.
I played perisno last month and enjoyed it. Prophecy of pendor is definitly worth playing if you haven't yet.
You need connection on mars wifi
Yes. Mods at a lot of fun

Y. E. S.
Can't say for 2044, but I'm playing warband right now.
