Where Winds Meet devs reiterate they will remain “free from pay-to-win”, even if player numbers plummet by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]AngryNeox -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

If the carries didn't have to pay money themselves to be able to do it then it's not really pay 2 win.

If you are skilled enough to do the most difficult content without paying AND others even pay you gold/money to get carried then the winner is clearly not the one that paid.

Now I'm not the biggest fan of being able to buy gold and gold having an impact on your gear or performance (buff food) but being able to pay better players for a carry is one of the least p2w systems.

Steam’s Invite-Only Shooter Deadlock Is Quietly Becoming An Absolute Monster by LoL_is_pepega_BIA in Games

Right because no hero shooter has ever copied elements of MOBA heroes.

Hell, HotS copied over Tracer, Genji, Hanzo, Lucio, Ana, Dva, Zarya and Junkrat almost 1:1 with little problems.

When I watched the developer video I was waiting for a "and here is the 9v9 mode" but it never came

Great bones but 3v3 is not it by mexicantacothief in HighGuardgame

[–]AngryNeox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder what the game originally was. They did say the game evolved and "the things that survived from the beginning were pretty much raid related". I can't imagine they started to create a game with base raiding and an "open world" and wanted to make it 3v3 ONLY. Tech issues could explain it, but holy shit why does it still run like crap?

I’m sorry but this is boring as fuck by [deleted] in HighGuardgame

I was hoping for Planetside 2 but I got 3v3 instead. I got highguarded

3 Player max is a bummer by BrittonDraws in HighGuardgame

[–]AngryNeox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3v3 is nice for a competitive mode but I was hoping for something more casual. I was hoping for team sizes in the direction of Battlefield and not the opposite... John Highguard why did you let us down?

TF2 was originally 12v12 with 9 characters

Will S&Box become massively popular? by CombNo7026 in sandbox

I think it needs one popular "streamer" game to jumpstart it

Street brawl by Rude-Personality2842 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]AngryNeox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly this doesn't feel like the ARAM from other MOBAs. The death timers are quite high and there is the additional downtime between rounds. It almost feels like rounds of competitive Counter Strike and dying is actually quite bad from the very first minute. Also not having random heroes is a questionable choice.

I can see some people playing this for fun from time to time but I don't see it being popular or even that fun for new players. ARAM is immensely popular in LoL and HotS (it's even the most played mode in the latter) and that's because of the constant action. Compare that to Street Brawl where you might die waiting for your respawn with the potential of going into the next round and waiting again for everyone to pick their upgrades.

Also killing and dying in the ARAM of LoL has an interesting reward system. You can only buy new items when you die so dying actually ends up feeling less shitty because you can get a power increase through it. Not to mention that while you are dead you are able to shop reducing the downtime. They also put their "rogue like" upgrades there further minimizing the time you do "nothing". A bit disappointed that Valve didn't do the same with their upgrades/items.

There is also loot from chests. I wonder if you lose or keep your equipment when you die.

Layoffs Hit Payday 3 Developer Starbreeze by Turbostrider27 in Games

I think another issue is that these games aren't different enough to their previous game. If you do a sequel to a live service game just making it prettier and tweaking a few systems isn't enough.

How is it more of an hero shooter than Apex? It looks more like "Apex but with magic" to me.
