I've been playing the playtest version and I find the game is just okay. It's basically exactly like Dota but 3rd person and with movement mechanics like dashing/slide/double jump. It feels and looks great but there's just so much going on that it feels like I'm constantly missing something. I think the skill ceiling will be incredibly high.

I've heard the explanation that they're not working on the half life series because they want to have bigger leaps in innovation, but then they work on a moba/hero shooter.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

They're not working on the half life series because there's no way they'll ever live up to the hype that's built up. Best to let sleeping dogs lie.

"We outsourced development of Episode 3 to finish telling the story."

Easy way to finish the arc while squashing hype.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

They have all the talent, budget and time they would ever need. No amount of hype will ever detract from a good game. Hell even cyberpunk managed to stay afloat after a disastrous launch and will be remembered positively by people that played the patched versions. I don't believe the hype thing either.

A landing of Covenant troop carriers at Disney World also could be coming soon.

who tf asked for another overwatch clone.

DOTA: protect the package.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Overwatch did not invent playing a character that has abilities on a cooldown. It's much more like fast-paced dota with guns.

Half Life 3

I want Valve to finish their Trinity. Lololololol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Monkey paw:

Half Life 3 is basically a reskin of overwatch. There is no story mode.

Isn’t TF2 a hero shooter?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

It's kinda funny since overwatch was being thought of as a tf2 come back in the days.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

TF2 is probably being left as it is for a long time

A new hero shooter just does not sound interesting to me, even if it is valve…

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's a hero shooter/MOBA and IceFrog (DotA designer) is working on it. That's enough on top of the Valve factor to at least make me curious, even though I otherwise share your sentiment.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Man, I remember the days when IceFrog was this new name that had appeared out of nowhere to revive 5.84c.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

You're more venerable than me, then. I only started playing a bit after he took over, around 6.10 or so I would say. I heard of the old versions by Eul and Guinsoo, but I never actually played any of them I think.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

TF3. BAM.

TF was basically the original hero shooter anyway. What is it missing, Ults? Medic even had that, it's called ubercharge.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I've been waiting a long time for Titan Fall 3. That's what you mean right? It couldn't be anything else could it? Definitely not.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If it could fill the void left by Overwatch 1 being taken out back and shot, I'll play it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

It's really really good, you'll like it :)
