It's just a moba but ~~first~~ 3rd person, it's no TF2 that's for sure...

I thought it was third person?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

True, i was zooming in so often I forgot it was 3rd person 😅

Yeah, I mean where's all the hats?

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

I mean pre-hat TF2...

Oh, an FPS, groundbreaking. Hard pass.

I'd be keen on it if it was just an action/shooter and wasn't a moba 😅

Maybe we're just not the target audience?

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

Because something is an FPS it can't be groundbreaking? FPS is an incredibly wide genre, something being an FPS does not mean it cant be doing new incredible things.

Not that I'm saying this game is groundbreaking, it isn't, but it is a really excellent fusion of two of the most popular genres in the world.

Not that I’m saying this game is groundbreaking

What is your point? If you don't like people's opinions about their personal video game preferences, you're not obligated to comment aimlessly.

My point was that a game being from a common genre has nothing to do with its ability to innovate. Not sure where I implied that I was obligated to reply to you. I disagreed with your sentiment, so I shared my own opinion. It's fine if you feel my comment was aimless, but I disagree.
