Not sure where the official announcement of this happened, but videos and discussions of the game are now finally allowed. The game is still invite-only, but expect to start seeing it all over the place now. Popular streamers are already jumping into it.
No. More a third person Battleborn, actually. Or Dota with guns. It has items, ability leveling, hero leveling, lanes, NPCS, all the MOBA things.
And no, Battleborn never played like Overwatch.
moba things?
pass
It's not for everyone, but it has fit surprisingly well into the Battleborn-shaped hole in my heart.
Yeah I’m for new games and hopefully people love it but “hero shooter” and “moba” definitely aren’t categories I’m looking for in new games, the market is flooded with them. Hopefully valve can stand out
I really wanted battleborn to succeed on release even though it was just kind of flawed from a design standpoint. I kind of gave up on competitive fps games since then though.
With how chaotic the fights look like and how high the ttk looks to be, is the game still fun at lower-mid skill levels?
Deadlock or Battleborn?
I'd say yes. But you do have to figure out how to apply the MOBA way of thinking. How to stack the stats of items, abilities and leveling up, into doing a shitload of damage without dying.
That applied to Battelborn, and it does in Deadlock, too.
I was specifically asking how Deadlock felt.
I've played quite a bit of MOBA's before, coincidentally the other big third person ones Smite and Paragon, so I've got a decent feel for builds and macroplay and I'm not necessarily worried about those aspects.
I grew up as a console gamer but exclusively play on PC now so I've found for fps games I have trouble competing because my aim isn't as great.
