Yup, don’t care about it. Not my type of game. Also a genre with too many games as it is for the genre to really support, IMO.
It will have to be nearly perfect to pull people from other similar games. It needs to fix the issues the others have, at launch, or it will be dead on arrival.
Eh, there was definitely a couple years where the market was flooded, but at this point there really aren’t any notable games in the genre other than League, Dota, and Smite. Deadlock being a third person game puts it in direct competition with Smite, though it’s also got more shooter DNA, which is aiming to bring in the overwatch crowd refugees. And at least IMO it already feels better than Smite, or any of the other abortive attempts at a third person moba over the years.
Remember Battleborn? FPS MOBA from Gearbox that came out in like… 2018 or thereabouts. Never got off the ground and got completely shuttered in like, a year, iirc
Multiplayer MOBA game. I feel like this is an important distinction for most of us.

Having played it, I got no clue what Im doing, having not played MOBAs before. Enemies are bullet sponges too.

Never bothered playing that. Didn’t even sound enticing.
Yep. I was in the primary market for it back then, and even I was like, meh.
Third person shooter. It’s not an FPS.
Fthird person shooter
Close enough.
I don’t think anybody says TPS as an acronym though.
No. They say shooter, or cover shooter, or type out 3rd person shooter.
Calling third person shooters FPSes is like calling rogue lites rogue likes. I don’t really care even if it is technically slightly inaccurate.
Good for you.
Yeah sorry, forgot it was third person.
Have you ever heard of Smite?
Oh that’s a shame. Back to waiting for Half-Life 3 then.
I really hope they add some ctf and koh modes in the future. I think it would add some fun variety to the game.
