That robot looks like a tiny EDF Hector.

As long as they finally start focusing on UT4 now.

I tried this game when I downloaded Epic's launcher to play UT. It felt really mediocre, like there wasn't any reason to play this game(except for graphics, I liked its graphics). Also most of the woman had no tits

>>14235076

it's as if there's such a thing as genre overload

who knew?

>>14235048

>That robot looks like a tiny EDF Hector.

I can see it.

There's barely 100 porn images of this anywhere and I guarantee most of it, all of the animated ones at least, were made by the developers themselves. Battleborn has almost twice as much for comparison's sake.

>>14235357

>what is marketting

>>14235366

I'd say it's more like fucking your neighbor's kid or something because I can't imagine the animators actually designed the characters. That sounds too efficient.

>>14235372

Shrug,at the very least if they were created by the same company that made them,then the person who did design them was a-okay with it.

>>14235401

Second pic was the go to shill pic, it was posted so many fucking times.

>>14235386

I second this

>>14235390

>Countess

Oh yeah I've seen that slut posted around but didn't know what game she was from. What kind of whore wears makeup like that?

I remember this

>look it up because SHITE(y'know, that game Hirez made that killed off Tribes despite that game being shat up during open beta, but because rankedcucks and esportsfags somehow made it big) while touting itself as a third person game is literally LoL with a different camera angle, and this one at the very least had aiming, terrain, verticality, etc.

>after a while get invited into closed beta

>it's the slowest fucking game I've ever played

>card system is a joke that rewards players who played more by buffing their stats to high heaven and back, also some stats can't be buffed with regular cards(penetration I believe)

>ranged characters were insanely overpowered and had zero thought, again because the game is insanely slow paced, I believe it had auto aim and also ultimates were impossible to miss

>fucking PC-PS4 crossplay made finding any decent players impossible

>also it's got the epic games launcher which is a slow, buggy and resource intensive piece of shit

If I had any good to say about the game it would have been

<It's kind of weighty, abilities sound and look good

<Steel had an ability where he slam dunks an area, and it was really satisfying

<Sevarog's(I think that's his name, robed Nazgul-like figure with a big hammer) ultimate was also incredibly fun, it was this baseball bat like swing that flung enemies. In fact I remember one match I actually enjoyed was with sevarog

<the assassin in the tight suit power armor had an insane skill ceiling, and while she was underpowered she was also one of the most fun characters of the game. Large triple jump, lots of tech, her ult was a great risk-reward type of deal, but last I heard they pussied out and buffed her and made her more like SHITE's Loki

Good riddance I suppose.

>>14235416

I'd fuck first one

>>14235422

Sorry, forgot to spoiler. If only this game wasn't a MOBA/ASSFAGGOTS clusterfuck with very slow gameplay, now if it was Anarchy Reigns with a lot of improvement to make melee, guns, magic shit to work, I'd play it, but the gameplay is a clusterfuck.

>>14235428

Vampire theme bitches, those types. She reminds me of Bloodrayne or those crazy VtM mods.

>>14235441

Now you can't now because the game's dead :^)

>>14235453

Depends on if he's still getting paid

>>14235457

>Vampire

I fucking knew it. Typical.

>>14235457

>Anarchy Reigns

PC port fucking when Sega?

>>14235035

Was that game even out? For some reason I thought that it was always in beta and only on PS4.

>>14235472

Never because Sega can't see past muh sanic

>>14235465

Her name is also a dead giveaway anon.

>>14235472

Never ever with working multiplayer.

Oh, and funny thing. there's only 2-3 jewtube shills with constant videos of this game. If you want to see how "exciting" the gameplay is, watch this, it had every type of cancer you didn't want! loot boxes, power-up cards, slow as molasses gameplay, fucking ASSFAGGOTS gameplay in THIRD PERSON that doesn't work, combat that doesn't have any weight.

>>14235509

There's still 11 months in the year left for them to piss you off.

>>14235509

It was a pay-to-play early access game, why they made it PAY TO PLAY is a mind-boggling.

>>14235497

Oh yeah. Like a play on Count Duckula.

>>14235269

holy shit

>>14235529

I'm referring to the Blood Countess Bathory.

>>14235537

Here you go fam, https://archive.is/1ugwg

>>14235513

You are cynical anon. I didn't expect that and got surprised…..they sure are better then the kingdom come dev that was praised as a god here and then downgraded the game for "muh reality" and made it to console too now it's still based because have said mean stuff to sjw…..at least those admit they are at fault rather then play us like a fiddle

>>14235520

I never care for P2P games or mobas so can't say what would work and what not

>>14235497

I'll have to agree with everyone else, this game looks fucking gorgeous but is slow as balls.

I still have my fingers crossed for AR on PC because tons of Platinum games have been ported to PC lately, they want all their titles to be on the platform and Sega has expressed interest in porting way more games. A few years ago I would never have thought Bayonetta and motherfucking Vanquish would get PC ports but here we are.

>>14235553

It's why Epic Game's Paragons is joining with Cliffy Bitch's Lawbreakers, this type of online multiplayer games should be F2P, but the gameplay fucking killed it, they don't have any clue on how to make the gameplay work.

>>14235555

nice digits, it's graphics is only thing going for it, gameplay is a pile of shit. And we'll see if Sega is gonna let us duke it out in PC with multiplayer for AR with no fucking Denuvo.

I liked it, but they kept changing shit so I gave up a year or two ago.

I hate assfaggots, I hate all top down mobas, so this was a nice change, since smite was shit.

That being said,

You won't be missed.

>>14235571

>>14235555

Wasn't it actually F2P? I vaguely remember it saying so in the FAQ.

>>14235342

>>14235390

>graphics

The actual gameplay looked dusty and dull, as though someone glued a filter to the camera. There's something about it that just gives me the impression the devs were afraid to have a game that looked "too cutesy" or "not serious enough." Look at vid related (YT embed since hooktube webms aren't 60fps) or cat character in >>14235416 to see what I mean: they committed so hard to the ULTRA SRS BSNS HIGH FIDELITY GRAYFIX aesthetic they literally can't have characters without adding dozens of pointless interior details to their profiles.

Like, you're making a cute catgirl. You're making a space marine with robo-arms who dual-wields triple-barreled laser pistols. This is REALLY not that difficult, but if they had made either design more cartoony it would have clashed with the rest of the cast. Can't have any of that, can we?

I must disagree with the people saying it looks good. It doubtless has a high level of graphical fidelity, and the devs are competent to have optimized the game that well, but everything about the design of the characters, the environment, and even the HUD is sterile and lifeless.

>>14235593

>to see what I mean: they committed so hard to the ULTRA SRS BSNS HIGH FIDELITY GRAYFIX aesthetic they literally can't have characters without adding dozens of pointless interior details to their profiles.

You want to know why they can get away with this shit? Look at the gameplay again. Tell me anyone's silhouttes or designs look anything near distinguishable at a first glance amidst all the chaos.

The reason why they can get away with this is that they can just slap some shitty oversized hud element telling you what the fuck you're looking at instead of bothering with actual design. You're shooting at the big bright red bars, not the green ones. Who's your target? Look at their name in the scoreboard or hud element.

It's fucking garbage and you can see it in a billion other games including Overbotch, various assfaggots and whathaveyou. This includes Smite who went from very distinctive looks for the four Global Agenda Classes, to kind of distinctive shit in Tribes Ascend(weapons had different colors and sound effects and shit, it wasn't always spot on but at least it was there) to having a billion characters look the same at a glance and then shove in as many cancerous and style breaking skins as possible.

Good.

As for the next shit, it will last even shorter. The majority of people are already aware of the industry's greed.

Before, you had 3 or 4 main successful games, and 10 or more clones.

Now, they can make only 1 successful, with barely 5 clones, and even then. the "success" is short and the money earned soon runs out with marketing and/or damage control.

>>14235653

It is kind of alarming just how badly every clone fails now. Remember when GTA knockoffs could hold up well on their own or platformers could sell entire consoles? I get the feeling that people don't actually like MOBA shooters or whatever you want to call it and Overwatch just survives out of some obligation Blizzard drones have to play whatever shit their masters push out.

>>14235653

>>14235674

It really is shocking how quickly trends die now. Even with how publishers have hired tons of unnecessary people just to cut down on production time as much as humanly possible they still can only just barely squeeze out a game while the trend is still hot. Compare how quickly Overwatch clones started to flop to the Modern Military FPS trend that lasted a fucking decade.

>>14235416

id fuck the second and third.

Clang clang with robutt and snu-snu with the orc.

>>14235035

>Epic is offering a full refund to every Paragon player for every purchase on any platform.

Damn, i am happy but it feel like the "least worst" moba is dying while other biggest, and way worst demons still thrive (blizzard, RIOT/tencent)

I still can't understand how ASSFAGGOTs became as popular as they did. If you play one, you've played them all. Why the hell would any sane man make the same damn game everybody else is making with no real difference except art style? Especially when you could already see relatively early adopters of the trend like HoN dying off in favor LoL and DoTA2?

>Full refund

Alright what's the catch, Shekelberg?

>>14235716

Every one I've seen at least is designed specifically around giving you winning streaks and having infinite excuses for your fuck ups. This allows even the shittiest player to feel like they're hot shit no matter how bad they actually are.

>>14235717

they think that people care about a companys reputation like if €A made a single bad game and didnt give peoples money back they would never buy €A games again

>To try to make this right, Epic is offering a full refund to every Paragon player for every purchase on any platform.

You must agree that it is an incredibly kind move in times when publishers piss into their customers' mouths, but these instead of being disgusted open their orifices wider.

>>14235035

>Hey, remember Paragon?

No? Who cares?

>>14235717

They probably make plenty of money on their engine, and any games they make are basically a side project to test out features on the engine.

I assume they will refund by giving players the currency to their epic game account, in the hope that some use it to become devs and bring in more shekkels. Or just so few people bought into it that it doesn't change anything.

>>14235593

That looks awful, though the janky way the character tiptoes around made me laugh

Well fug, I actually liked this game. Well at the very least they admit its their fault and they are offering full refunds, unlike countless other grab-the-money-and-run developers. They did do a few things right, most prominently prove that you can have a gorgeous looking game on console at 60 fps. After Paragon showed this no one really has any excuse now not to properly optimize their shit.

>>14236174

I can imagine WOOBWOOBWOOB playing constantly as you backpedal.

You know what? If this is what kills the AAA gaming industry with all its cancer, so be it.

Copycat development practices simply do not work in the modern age. Everyone who wants to play MOBAs is already playing league or DotA. Everyone who wants to play MMOs is already playing WoW. Everyone who wants to play class-based shooters is already playing Cancerwatch. You can't get those audiences for yourselves by trying to ape the style of those games because they already play those games and don't want something else. How about instead, you try to appeal to a niche that doesn't already have 100 games made for them instead? Of course no one is going to fucking do that because AAA publishers are fucking retarded and indie devs don't have marketing budgets.

>>14236326

>no futa

Why bother.

>>14236336

It wouldn't be so damaging if all those games weren't designed around keeping you stuck to them. You can't feasibly play more than one at a time if you actually want to get anywhere with their asinine progression systems.

>>14235416

Oh daaaaamn, them some good waifu material

This how MOBAs, Battle Royal and Battle Area types of games will continue to collapse as they chase genres that dont exist and merely happened because people were bored with the Wasteland that currently is AAA

The only thing this game seems to have going for it is alright character design and graphics. If appearance was all it was banking on, it deserved to fail. Porn dump when?

>>14236419

Just about every one of these games are AAA though.

Maybe if Paragon played like a 3rd person shooter instead of a fucking third person moba it would actually be fun

>>14235342

>>14235390

>graphics

Paragon had the same issues that Battleborn had: overly designed characters who look like they don't belong in the same universe. It's way more noticable in Paragon because of the semi-photorealistic artstyle and the fact that the game acted as a demo for the Unreal Engine 4.

From the looks of it, the gameplay could've been better without the card system. It's the same unnecessary shit that is crippling Paladins in my opinion.

>>14235035

>Finally, the age of awful MOBA games is over and this awful genre can finally fucking die

>Unfortunately, we're now headed into the era of awful early access Battle Royale games

You know, you would think that they would have learned from all the flopped MOBAs that its a bad idea to make a large budget multiplayer focused game when there is already a massively popular game on the market.

>>14235342

>>14235390

>>14235401

There's really zero cohesion here. Maybe they focused more on the mechanics than the theming, but it's really just a generic mishmash of knights, robots, and other cliches, like the pop star/celebrity character. The large ape with armor. The elegant archer. The gothy sneaky one. The robot that looks like it came right off a graphics card box.

As awful as Overwatch is, they nailed down the aesthetic and kept it cohesive. Most of the characters not only look like they belong in the same world, but they also have a bit of the appeal of a dreamworks CGI movie. Kids like it. Autists like it because it's close enough to their awful western cartoon waifus. Weebs like it because it's close enough to their animu waifus… Then you get shit like Paragon and Stillborn and they actually have to astroturf the porn to try and get people interested.

>>14236705

This character would be a better female necris than what they chose for ut4

>>14237390

No ladyboys please

JUST

>>14235416

i like the furbait and orc tbh

>>14237563

It's not an orc, it's a nigress shaman woman

Yo keep that porn coming,it's the only good thing we have from this game

>>14235422

>Cut at 2 seconds in

suspicious

>>14235342

>Their shovelware game Fortnite Battle Royale is actually making them money.

This. They'd rather shut down everything else they do and focus on the thing that is currently for some fucking reason popular in the public eye and is printing money. They shit on the original Fortnite game mode to push this junk. Hell, even Hi-Rez did it to Paladins when they shit all over everything in anticipation of Paladins Battle Royale.

Speaking of MOBAs, does anyine play Fractured Space? It's dying and I wish I had people to play it with. I fucking love it and it makes me sad.

taking some fucking game mode from a game and calling it a genre is not how it works, its not how it ever worked, its never going to sell, these things work because they are based on specific situations taking off becoming popular

theres no fucking market for it, there arent "moba" or "battle royale" people, they dont exist

is there Capture the Flag genre of games?

NO

its NEVER GOING TO SELL

>>14237686

There's a running robotic/futuristic theme apparent in all the characters. Only ones that stand out are Roadhog and Junkrat, but that's because they're from Mad Max 'Straya land. Paragon's character designs are all over the place and almost look like they've come from different games, like those Chinese LoL clones that use random anime characters.

is Gigantic still alive?

>>14237822

Microsoft won't let a failure die that quickly. Gotta bleed it out kosher style.

>>14237919

She was a robot? I thought she was just in a suit or something.

>>14237822

Man, that game had such neat character designs and an honestly interesting level-up system. It's a shame Win10 and M$store exclusivity killed it.

>>14237800

>implying the anime mech girl totally doesn't clash with the science fantasy knight, cyberpunk tumblrina, Mad Max rejects and the gorilla in a spacesuit

Overwatch is guilty of the same shit that you criticised Paragon of doing, just because all the characters have a few LED lights and metal crap slapped onto them doesn't mean they're futuristic or robotic.

>>14237969

Overwatch's mixed bag of 'diverse' heroes isn't on the level of Paragon's mix of generic sci-fi shit, random concept art, and korean mmo elves. They're both a hodgepodge of wacky cliches, but I still think that Overwatch still looks like there's some internal consistency.

>>14236254

wait, you can have an early access game on console?

did early access ever actually mean anything or was it always just a ruse?

>admit to fucking up

Refreshing.

Wish the fucks that made MNC did the same

>>14237390

>mixing up latex and spandex

Shameful.

>>14239673

SLUT

>>14239673

>Just a blowjob for each one

Perfect

There goes my Rockem Sockem Robot simulator. Too bad melee really fucking sucked in that game.

Now, if they started off by making Dawngate…

>Paragon

What? I honestly don't even remember this name even.

>>14236287

Nah, you can just wash off baking soda.

>>14240251

That's pretty good,wonder if her model floats around somewhere for use.

>>14235342

>your generic mishmash of MOBA heroes

I always hated how all MOBAs have no artistic cohesion.

Since they took all the devs from UT4 to make that shitty miba, maybe now UT4 will actually be developed again

>inb4 all the Deva go to their shitty PUBG rip off

>>14243802

DOTA does from the look of it. But aside from that, it's entirely about muh largest audience. Want a fairy waifu? Put a fairy in. Like robots? Put one in. Who cares about consistency if that one character will bait some retards into playing right?

>>14243899

It's a SMITE clone that's slower than SMITE, DOTA and Battleborn combined, if it was what you described it, it wouldn't be dead with players complaining it's clunky and slow, and stop spreading this forced meme.

>>14243899

>crapcunts

I wish first person shooter guys were witty, but I think it's just a low IQ genre

>>14235035

>Finally, the age of awful MOBA games is over

What are you talking about? No it's not. League is still the most played game in the world, and Dota is still popular as hell too.

>Unfortunately, we're now headed into the era of awful early access Battle Royale games

Are you trying to suggest that we had an era of everyone making MOBAs? Because we haven't. The MOBA "fad" and BR are totally separate things. BR is replacing the fucking decade of survival crafting games we had, not MOBAs.

>MOBAs

>Overwatch clones

>PUBG

>All popular thanks to Chinks

They are the ultimate cancer.

I pose this question to anyone who plays assfaggots.

Are they truly fun games? Are they worth your time?

I admit I'm biased as fuck because the most I've gotten was two weeks before hanging up Dota 2 and the entire genre but the whole thing seems like just an excuse to get mad and yell at 12 year olds and jerk around your rank and skins.

>>14247145

Of my friends who play it, they consistently just fucking rage at the game. I don't know why they play, but I convinced one of them to uninstall and he's yet to break and reinstall.

>>14247145

as someone who has sinked around 4k hours in dota2. it's not really worth it, the game is just the same shit over and over again, you need to learn all the small little details about all the 100+ heroes and their item and skill combos to be somewhat competent theory wise and even if you're actually got at the game. moba's are the kind of games that require your whole team to pull their own weights. so the other team doesn't really need to be incredibly good to win, just average, and if you get some shitty player in your team your chances of winning go down by a lot.

Patches break or make heroes and you have to deal with people perma-picking the OP hero of the month whose counters got nerfed or removed because balance is done by reddit.

I wouldn't recommend the game to anyone, it takes hundreds of hours to "master" and after that you're still playing lottery, praying the rest of your team isn't shit because if it is you will waste around 30min-1hr just get frustrated.

>queue in dota2

>murican server

>get paired a 4-stack of peruvians

>can't even speak english

>the other team also has peruvians

>the peruvians suck and feed

>game is ruined

this is around half of the games. I started playing the game when it wasn't that bad gameplay wise and player wise, now there isn't really any good reason to tell someone to go ahead and play it, the effort you will put into the game will never be rewarded and you will keep playing just to feel all the hours you invested learning the game weren't a waste of time, just play something else.

>>14246739

>BR is replacing the fucking decade of survival crafting games we had, not MOBAs.

BR is replacing ARMA tacticool shooters that never became big (because their developers are spergs who mistake clunky interface, clunky mission rules and no fun with "realism") but there were sleeping demand for "real shooter".

>>14247153

MOBAs are unhealthy with "Sunk-Cost Fallacy". Other games if match is not fun you can leave or match is very short jsut wait 1-2 minutes to teh end then leave. In MOBAs player may stuck as living punching bag in lost match for a long long time. Though such constant stress is what hooks players to play. In this again such masochism is not healthy.

>>14235035

Is the Overwatch clones genre dead?

>>14249342

It was never alive to begin with.

>>14252337

Not as many lootbox possibilities thee and moving faster than a light jog is too much for Bethesda developers.
