Is Mount and Blade: Warband GOOD or just NOSTALGIA?

- Mount and Blade: Warband was released over 10 years ago, and has since become a cult classic within PC gaming. But with Bannerlord having been out for a whole year, and the game being a decade old: Is Mount and Blade: warband actually GOOD or is it just NOSTALGIA? That's what this video will find out!
This is a follow up to a poll I did in combination with my previous video, Is BANNERLORD Worth it in 2021? - Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord 300 Days Later. In that video I went back into Bannerlord to see how the game had progressed since last time I played.
In this video however, I return to the classic. So watch and enjoy as I, Koifish, the BEST Mount and Blades player, rediscovers a world of warband mods, Serfs and sea raiders!
So what does Koi fish who is the master of Mount and Blade think and feel about the game? Watch and find out, in this 2021 Warband game review!
This video features character creation, a good chunk of campaign gameplay and some quests, Warband Multiplayer as well as some mods and modules.

*WARBAND OR WARBAD? YOU CHOOSE!* Tell me down in the comments what YOU think!
Hello HELLO! I have finally MOVED to the new house, so production of CONTENT is a go! New office, new motivation, and new bills to pay! :D
As always, check out the links in the description, leave a like and Subscribble to the chanel >:D
I think there’s true magic to the game, but a lot of that can collide with nostalgia. I still play it waiting for bannerlord and I still have a blast, even though I’ve been playing it for 3 years now.
WARBUTTER
Bannerlord is easily better than Warband in the vacuum of vanilla singleplayer but it will take years to be better than Warband as a whole.
Congratulations on the expansion of your estate, Baron Koifishsson!

Original
Or stolen from resonant??
Jkjk love ur content mate
Nostalgia? Bruh as if we ever stopped playing
simo
swadia...
Brug
Exactly my thoughts
Simo on a Miura hiatus bruh
Khergit are poggest of the pog
I'm so early that even Jeremus hasn´t been knocked out yet
Impossible
I made my Jeremy's a beast, he literally dosnt die all the time in a battle now
@@falconstoryman to do that you need to literally have him behind the recruits
*Jeremus has been knocked unconscious*
I made Jeremus into a horse archer and he wrecked such face.
Warband has Jeremus, Bannerlord has not. Seems like an easy choice of which one is the best for me
They really messed up with these random generated NPC's instead of having characters with some depth to them.
@@jumpyg1258 I usually make my own storylines with the generated characters although I do miss Jeremus
I would say you're right but Jeremus wasn't available for comment, something about being a knock-out?
Warband has nervous man but bannerlord is not
@@jumpyg1258 Most of the lords at the beginning of the campaign (or maybe all of them, i am not sure) aren't random generated. However, as the years pass you'll see the new ones that the game generates as far as i know.
The question is rather simple: can my potato run Bannerlord?
And until it can, Warband all the way.
I would consider upgrading. I've heard tofu is the way to go
Bruh my potato cant even ran warband on high settings
I don't even know how unmodded vanilla Warband is supposed to run like!!!
hell yeah
Geforce Now is pretty useful when it comes to potato computers actually
As someone who miraculously only discovered Warband in 2017, I am able to to assert with the utmost certitude that no nostalgia is required to fully enjoy this absolute (albeit slightly unrefined) gem of a game.
I didn’t even know about warband until 2018, I’ve only played it on Xbox so I’m waiting til the end of this year for bannerlord
@@crabbing27 I feel as though I’ll enjoy bannerlord more on Xbox than I did with pc tbh just with how the game plays
I do like that they are trying to make things more "believable" with the whole family aspect. Let's be honest, warband is really lacking in that department. Which does make the game a bit boring after a while. Bannerlord too, but it already takes a lot longer with those mini games they added.
hah I only found out about it last year... Wait... probably shouldn't be boastful about that... lol
@@crabbing27 RIP still waiting for bannerlord
"I'm about to start counting down."
*starts counting up*
never change Koifish
i fucking died lmao
I remember that day after 10 years of campaign in Warband, I found out how to speed up time while traveling.
Lol CTRL-T try it
WHAT?!?!?!??!?!?!
Me too. I'd put in 60+ hours when I found that lol.
@@MrAdriaxe I spent YEARS
You can speed up time while traveling?! i thought it was a mod!
"Fetal alcohol syndrome Tommy Kay" Gave me a genuine laugh.
I almost spit out my water lmfao
As someone who only started playing this game LAST year. Naw man, this shits amazing.
Same me i found this game last year
I VIL DRINK FROM YOUR SKUL
There simply isn't enough love for Rolf of Glorious House Rolf, in this community.
filthy bandit lover
@@carltheoneeye9353 Nothing but baseless accusations!
@@carltheoneeye9353 Rolf is a valuable member of this company I don't want you picking anymore fights with him.
@@danielrobertson2154 carl is upset
@@carltheoneeye9353 Hopefully it won't happen again.
Ah the table introductions, the only way to speak to the king
I've stood on the tables of many courts all across Calradia.
Imagine how hectic a koifish hosted multiplayer event with fans would be. Just 60 people doing Swedish accents screaming that’s a nice head you have on your shoulders. That would leave everyone with shattered eardrums
Sorry bannerlord but warband will always stay first in my heart.
Last time I was this early, it was almost harvesting season
Well i have good news for you, it's almost harvesting season!
0:34 it says in turkish: "post malone plays m&b, best turkish videogame"
I will name my firstborn son Warband Chungus
I bought Warband a month ago after I got a new gaming PC and its one of the bestgame I've ever played. The Massive battles, fun characters and faction wars make up an experience I've never played anywhere else. Its truly a classic and I hope you never stop making awesome content about such a masterpiece.
Just started a whole new campaign. Won’t ever stop playing warband
My guy koifish at the warband again
"You stick out more than a person that smells nice at a Smash convention."
Hello, police? Yes I'd like to report a murder.
A mass murder
You didn't even mention napoleonic wars, that's also still going strong.
Absolutely love your Warband videos. Because of you playing I to have become addicted to it. Love your content
I still have PTSD from starting off and running into like 12 groups of sea raiders and how much of a pain they were to deal with when you start
Love the Forgotten Weapons reference... He should do one about Warband being a (unjustly) Forgotten Game
Getting over being sick with Covid so life's been sucking but WAIT I see a new Koifish video! Day is now good.
man seen too much "wb better" comments ig lmao
Warband < Bannerlord < Viking Conquest
The base game is great for what it is - a template for modders to create their own, more in-depths worlds.
Haven't played it in a while, but I think I spent more time on this game than any other.
3:34 alchol syndrome TommyKay XD. You are the best Koifish
My computer can’t handle bannerlord, I play lotr mod on warband and it’s so much fun
So nice, mention to do another warband video in that project zomboid video month or two ago...glad to see you did one.
To be honest, I got into warband in 2020 and still love the game. So for me it's just a great video game, not nostalgia
I salute your name choice sir, Kois are truly the pinnacle of evolution.
I love this game bring in your mates and just get stuck in, i recorded a few vids on this game had so much fun with it. great video good content buddy 👍👍👍👍
There have always been that many sea raiders. As a Nord it's considered lucky if you beat the first quest without having to fight 5 sea raider groups.
I can't believe I missed the Koifish Subscriber Meetup 2020, very sad indeed
Maybe the meetup 2021 will have DOUBLE the amount of subscribers :D
"Koifish Koifishson"
Hallo, Gundar Gundarson. Have you seen my son, Gundar Gundarsonson?
same thing came up to my mind
pls switch words when you make the yoda voice XD nice video, much nostalgic
The warband is the one of ten master work in the game univers.
What are the other nine?
@@crabbing27 for me, the first four metal gear solid, the dead space, doom, the outer words, space engineers and the star wars republic commando.
I only recently started playing warband because I had been watching some of your ck3 vids and discovered your warband ones. I found out it was on Xbox game pass and I can confirm it is just a good game. I have been playing the shit out of it, thanks koifish.
"Jesus Christ, the Son of God" no I think you mean Jesus Christ, my gym teacher
:')
I never stopped playing warband. It is and always will be in my heart. I had too much fun in that game...
Bro, I was so hyped when i saw this video, I literally have 108hrs of gameplay on this game, addictive, and an ultimately great game, thanks for the video!
Don't worry man. If you really get into it you'll have 1.700h like me in no time.
Talking about nostalgia, that's premium old Koifish content here!
Still one of the best games that I continue to play to this very day. In fact it's the only game that entertains me the most.
Totally agree to this video, I was hoping that bannerlord would just add features to the allready existing ones from warband and ofcourse improve the graphics, but sadly they tried to change it too much for my liking. Maybe bannerlord will be fun with enough mods for me at some point but I think that will take 1 or 2 more years... crazy to think that I was a 15yo young kid when I was first hyped about bannerlord and now I'm allready a 21yo adult.... warband will forever have a place in my heart which bannerlord will probably never be able to replace.
Last time when I was this early the Khergits joined the Norse in "Mmmmmount and Blade"
House tour would be very cool
I like how right after Koifish was going to say that the game didn't have any bugs, not only was he viewing the back of his shield instead of the merchant, but also when he went onto the overworld map, the oceans were nothing but literal cow-water (which is a bug that frequently happens to me as well)
i love this outro
I just bought this game today ... Hoping I have fun playing it now
I remember playing fire and sword at 2019 for the first time and it was one of the few games that made me feel a legit awsome and weird feeling for a old game it's legit really good
Lmao I was playing Prophecy of Pendor getting turned into a pin cushion cosplay by the Noldor when this got uploaded.
I hate noldor lol
@@KristofKarwinskithegreat-se5pu That's why I ally with them as soon as possible.
@@darrellparfitt5908 yes I tried and surprisingly succeeded and I was at war with the sarleon so they helped quite well
@@KristofKarwinskithegreat-se5pu That's actually how POP is designed to be played. The main quest such as it is involves alliance with the Noldor. You can ignore it and sandbox however you want though. It's not a coincidence there are two books that improve Noldor relations and not for any other faction.
@@darrellparfitt5908 ok but I eventually failed BECAUSE I LOST MY SAVES
Okay, I hit the SUBSCRIBED button. I didn't get anything done to my beard.. but the button turned from Grey to Red, which was interesting 🤔
this game looks really sick and this video has helped me make my decision to buy it
Totally saw myself in the multiplayer section!
real nostalgia is when koifish still uploaded IRL videos
Your finnish sounds so good!
Your channel popular because of your early warband videos! Dont forget WARBAND!!!!
i put hundreds of hours into warband and am well on my way to doing the same in bannerlord. bannerlord has a lot more to do in the base game, and feels much more open ended, while i also feel a lot more involved in the affairs of the kingdoms and more in control of my own kingdom. you’re absolutely right about the mods, but i think bannerlord will catch up in that regard, tons of cool mods in development already that i’ve heard about
I've just got back into playing the Nova Aetas mod. Much more enjoyable than I remember
Isnt it buggy as fuck?
@@giovannidipierfrancescodim3058 it seems to be broken now, I can't get it to launch anymore
@@tylerwhaley4872 yeah, same, even tried re-installing
Your conclusion is fair and accurate.
But of course I'd say that because that is my conclusion also.
still a good game and has great mods for it. Warsword Conquest is one that I really love and would love to see you try out
Been playing warband on xbox and have been having a lot of fun.
Your opinion is correct I still play viking conquest and awoiaf mod from time to time and damm is it good
Can confirm that it damn good. Started playing in 2020, so I don’t have nostalgia yet.
"meat its back on the menu bois"
I gotcha dude ❤️
11:21 I know it's my second comment but.., The Horse Machinegunner lives on!
When I bought the Warband game I thought it would be interesting to play an old game but I loved the game so much that I bought the complete set. I was one of the first to buy Banorlord when it came out because I loved Warband so I got this game too. I will buy any game they bring to the table.
Bannerlord is cool but its missing the fun goofy charm of warband
6:06 Glad to see I'm not the only one doing that lmao
your new house has a very comfortable attic mr koifish
i just started playing it before i play bannerlord, and im just gonna say it i dont think i will be alive by the time i get bored with this game, its one of the greatest ive ever played, and i regret never taking recommendations on it, its definitely not just nostalgia, its one of the most addicting games ive come across
koifish: butte-
add about western star butter: hello there
I like bannerlord but I do miss the old skill system and sorta hate spawning in the same place no matter which faction I choose
Warband is great but i love the DLC, Napoleonic Wars. I was in a regiment in that game and jesus it was fun
i first played this in 2018? when it came to xbox, then got bannerlord on PC, still love warband and VC on PC though
Can we get koi fish cooking videos
Me Being a poor console player who never stopped playing Warband.
It’s better don’t worry
Bro i bought it last week and didn’t even know it was on ps4 and im hooked im in the same boat as u tho
Just found out about warband last year, don't have any nostaliga for it. Still an epic game.
Warband is really really fun. Definitely love the fact it has a bunch of mods. I also do enjoy the dlc that comes with it like Viking Conquest which is basically warband but it wants you dead and will make you wish you didn’t play.
Do a full playthrough of warband
I do like fire and sword a lot. When or if proper flintlocks come to bannerlord it will be great. Just needs time for features to be added and mods to get rolling.
I got it a few months ago and I didn’t like it then one day it clicked for me and now I love it
Ah yes, Köífïsh plays Warband again...
We have the great knights of Swadia, which always declare war against everyone before sitting down and having a feast, and losing all of their lands.
Then we got the Rodocks... Maybe they take one Swadian castle and wreck the sarranids before settling down and deflecting all sieges with their braindead crossbowmen and glaives. Then the sarranids, sand bois. You'll never see them because they usually get wrecked in less than a week. They suck anyway. Then you got the kerghs. Or however you spell that shit, all you gotta know is they have horse archers and nobody likes horse archers so dollar store Kahn survives the whole game. Then you got Vageirs. Or the Russians, great archers. But the Nords are better, consider them dead in about a week. Then you have the Nords, strong axe bois. Usually bully everyone on the map
Rhodok strategy:
Find hill
Put men on top of hill
Wait
Win
But for real, the rhodoks are the closest thing to the roman legion in warband, thanks to their big ass board shield
I still like it for Napoleonic Wars, that will never go out of style. Good drinking fun.
I love warband so much! I haven't been able to play Bannerlord that much because of graphical restrictions on my laptop, but I've got almost 900 hours in Warband. The crazy thing isbI haven't finished a file. I've never fully conquered Calradia. My only complaint is that I always fall back into roughly the same build, but it's still fun as hell to be the sharpest of shooters with a bow and nearly unkillable in combat. Combine that with Native's busted ass Swadian Knights and you have a combo that is literally able to go 25 vs 300 in major battles and come out with the worst casualties being injuries or maybe a death or two. I love Warband. Easily one of my favorite games of all time.
This game is just gorgeous
Forgotten weapeons is an awesome channel as well as yours
I recommend Suvarnabhumi Mahayuth mod. you may like how we're living in southeast Asia.
I started playing warband in 2019, and I say with confidence, this game ROCKS!
Napoleon war private events are where it's at. (Linebattles) still fun 9 years later.
Are there any full conversion mods for bannerlord yet? So i can try playing again.
What was that WW2 Mod?! It looks so fun and so haven’t ever seen it!!!
Jo Koifisch maby you can try play on controler??? Ps you are the best youtuber!
I just recently did a "Antiviking" run in Viking Conquest, starting as a Frisian, siding with the English in the Storyline, buying 6 Skeids and then taking Friese back from those a-holes with as much prejudice as possible. Now when Danes in Ribe look at the sea at night, they pray to Odin that the "Frisian Reaper" is not coming to their shore.
So yeah, until bloc singlehandedly finishes the work TW has started, I may play Bannerlord from time to time, but Warband is still my favorite.
You got to try the mods. The sengoku japan, warhammer, and game of thrones mods are the most interesting. Also the southern asian mod which who's name escapes me.
Warband is poggers. I'll get Bannerlord when I get a new computer. Speaking of which - I HAVE A NAPOLEONIC WAR EVENT FOR M&B WITH THE 61E REGIMENT
Seeing as how I never played it untill like 3 years ago I can garuntee it's just good
And thus the empire of Koi Pond was formed
