I don't get the hate. A 1st person moba sounds fucking fire. Added bonus that it's valve's community.

is it caz tf2 is on fire?

EDIT: oh, it's 3rd person! sry

I’m not big into multiplayer games, but I have noticed that lemmy and Reddit just get very pessimistic whenever a beloved company announces a multiplayer game

TF2 was on fire for years and they did jack shit. Yeah that makes me veeery optimistic and excited about their next game (/s)

but they got hats, and if you really think about it, that's not much less than what most competetive games get for updates (only skins)

Epic Games had a first person shooter moba, called Paragon, that failed and closed down. It was actually not bad, just not popular enough.

Sounds fire? So surely you've heard of Smite then? Or Paragon? Or Paragon: Overprime? Or Predecessor?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I didn't but I do like the idea

I thought about mentioning Smite myself, but it's over-the-shoulder, not 1st person. From a quick Google, Paragon and Predecessor seem to be the same.

Yes, but I commented after the edit where the OP realized their mistake and corrected it to 3rd person.

I'm really hopeful. I want something to scratch the Overwatch itch after it's gone down hill.

Take2 tried it with Battleborn, but failed miserably. Sincerely hoping Valve is more successful. I would love to play a 1st person moba.

I've seen pre-alpha gameplay and it's currently 3rd person. Maybe they'll change it though. Valve tends to test heavily and make lots of changes over time before release.

I've made a mistake, it's 3rd person. Sorry, just don't wanna missinform

If you're interested in a 1st person moba, try smite
