LawBreakers

I have this game on Steam, won it on a contest or something, but never played it.

Is it any good?

Probably. Really needed more zero g areas to fight in. Probably gonna have like 1k dedicated players

>>381280727
Wait, this is CliffyB's game?

I didn't know it was even released

Lawbreakers is a shit name and the game clearly flew under the radar, I was actually looking forward to it

why cant westerners make attractive women

>disappointing launch
>massive losses within a few months
>F2P in around a year

>>381280967
Why don't you have something to remind you of upcoming games besides /v/?

>>381280862

Precisely this.

Very few will play, but plenty of people will directly overlook it while claiming that arena shooters are dead.

I played it during the beta.

Dropped it faster than anything I've signed up for the beta for.

It was just boring and repetitive.

And the mobility system wasn't nearly as neat as they made it out to be.

It was like BRINK again.

>>381280727
>Dead on arrival?
yep it's pretty much battleborn 2.0

>>381280967

I just checked, Steam says it launches on August 8.

They keep making games that nobody wants, I can't believe they don't spend a few thousand dollars on god damn focus groups to see what the market is trending for.

>Hur we want more shooters with generic ugly characters, but with some new gimmick, and make it AAA $60 with only multiplayer plz. Also cut some cool content so you can sell it as DLC later down the road.

Yeah fuck that, they get what they deserve.

>>381281401

>can't believe they don't spend a few thousand dollars on god damn focus groups to see what the market is trending for.

Focus groups are the reason we get shit like Thi4f and endless COD clones you nigger.

>>381281401

they usually fuck things up even more

To be fair the average Korean woman isn't very attractive. I don't think the average idol is interested in flying up into the air and being an easy target.

>>381280973
because they do their styles a bbit more realistic for the most part. You do have good looking female characters in some series like the Mass Effect trilogy or Uncharted, but they are few and far between because they aren't designed like anime tiddy monsters from those weeaboo trash games that everyone ogles over. Also, most western games don't have female leads.

>>381281401
They pretty much focused tested the games for 2 years or so, mostly through closed beta. And it's 30 dollars with no plans for dlc (expect skins)

>>381280727
I like the law vs breakers thing, but the game is just
okay.

this game tries so hard to be cool and edgy that its just painful
>twitch shooter
>on console
about as good an idea as charging $30 for a F2P game.

>>381280859
Its pretty good.
Many people (mostly kids) will compare this to overwatch, though its closer to Unreal Tournament. If you like real Arena Shooters, then you'll likely enjoy this.

>>381280973
>>381281620
girl in OPs pic look more attractive than average Korean girl tho

>>381280727
the way they kept shittalking overwatch is reminiscent to that of battleborn
hubris

>>381282129
I don't get why people make the comparison. Overwatch is closer to TF2 than Lawbreakers And lawbreakers is closer to UT.

it looks alright. looking forward to trying it out in the next beta on the 30th

What the fuck.

>>381282872
not really, 300k is nothing to keep mp only shooter popular because most mp only shooters are f2p
so it will probably not "stick for a while"

>WE WANT TO HAVE D.VA/AHRI/A CUTE ASIAN GIRL IN OUR GAME SO FUCKING BAD

can anyone explain how the the classes work? Is it 2 different characters for each team but they play the same?

>>381280727

Don't know who this game is for

Overwatch: Normies/Casuals
Paladins: Poor people
Quake Champions: "Hardcore" gamers

I guess this is in the same category of Battleborn. Shitty moba fps nobody plays.

autistic

>>381283296
Sorry, "hero shooter".

FPS with moba like abilities. Different heroes with abilities instead of a small pool of classes with large pool of weapons

This game doesn't have any marketing whatsoever. I heard of it like once when I was searching for new games on my own and then I completely forgot it exists until this thread.

>>381283365

>game basically tries to be overwatch, but less skills/abilities and more shooting + verticality

That sounds like a good thing, I play FPS for shooting and verticality, not for "skills/abilities/press Q to win"

if the only gimmick this game has is 0 gravity crap in some maps, be sure OW is going to release some 0g maps as well, they won't let this game even breath for a second, they're gonna kill it while it's still a fetus. they're ruthless.

>>381281160
Doesn't Lawbreakers have double jumps, rocket jumping, grapple hooks and shit like that? I see characters practically flying around in gameplay videos.

BRINK fucked up because only the Light Bodytype was the only one that could do any of the very limited parkour and the maps had almost jack shit for players to actually use the parkour on.

>>381281087

Those abilities are tied to specific characters.

>>381283986
Which is half the reason it's going to fail, no pixar-tier characters with super strong and distinct personalities and character design. The other half is that, in order to have Overwatch level of success and not while still charging a reasonable fee(~30 bucks), you need to cater to the casuals first and foremost. You can have a hardcore mode but it needs to be totally separate from the main game modes.

It's still a month and a half away from launch, and the only evidence of it sucking is that CliffyB spent the last decade up to his neck in Gears of War and that it's got a PS4 version most likely designed around attracting casuals.

>>381285104
Would people who have it in their steam library from the beta show up as an owner?

>>381285104

as said previously, its BRINK all over again

kinda sucks that multiplayer games HAVE to be made by a (credible) AAA dev to be successful, or a really niche genre that does a lot of things right and has an autistic fanbase (see EVE online)

>>381285334

unreal 3 would like to have a word with you anon

>>381284983
Fuck the casuals, people need to figure things out on their own instead of their abilities handholding them. You cater to the casuals by simplifying everything and you end up with garbage like SFV.

Half the time /v/ bitches about casuals taking over but then the other half they dont want to support good games because "oh, no casuals will buy it so its DOA".

>>381285185
Oh I thought there was like a beta out or something
And yeah I have a ps4 but there's no way I'd get an arena shooter on it, I kinda wish they just focused on a pc version like quake champions

>>381285334
He is the only developer I have seen who shit on the unity engine in a pretty straightforward way.

Pretty much. B2p was a terrible move to make especially under nexon na management, meaning microtransactions. The extremely lengthy early access development has, just like every other way game, soured perception based on its earliest incarnation. The game will never recover from people shitting on its alpha. I love it but I've started weening off it. I dont want to get caught up in a dead game again like i did with awesomenauts.

>>381283931
>GitS 95 is literally 50%-70% action scenes
Well those were pretty slow action scenes by the movie standards.

>>381283986
I wanna see it fail because of stupid shit like what the guy on the right is doing.

>>381280727

Too many objective-based FPSs out at the moment.

Most people are pretty content with overwatch and aren't really interested in Paladins, Gigantic, Dirty Bomb, Battleborne, etc.

Reminder that Battleborn had 3.5 million people who played the game. And look how many players are still playing it.

>>381285334
>watch all the E3 interviews with him
>he's 100% right

Maybe Cliffy learned something though, I signed up for the upcoming beta so we'll see how it goes.

>>381284595
But are those abilities on a one minute cooldown like most shitty Hero games, or are they core abilities that are an intrinsic part of your loadout that you're constantly using?

10 years ago i'd have agreed with you but one day you'll realize that casuals, aka 90% of the player base, is shit, will always be shit, but are the guys that keep the lights on and the servers running. As i said, you can offer a hardcore mode that is only populated by the most skillful players, but if you forget to cater to the casuals as well your game will be dead in a matter of weeks if it ever gets off the ground.

Wrong, casuals drop every FotM game for the next, the people keeping the lights on are the hardcore players who stick with games until it takes an unreasonable amount of time to find matches on a daily basis. If you prioritize casuals, then you only care about profit, not the wellbeing of the game.

>>381286169
>wellbeing of the game
And what does that exactly look like? Overwatch has been out for over a year and it's still getting extremely strong numbers for a 50 dollar MP only game. Why? Because the characters are drawing people in and gameplay is just easy enough, both to play and feel like you're doing good. Add to that the whole crate system for outfits and shit and you got an player base that is hooked. If the game offered a ladder mode where all the skills and abilities are purely skill dependent and completely eliminate the aim assist the game would be even more popular and competing with CSGO for tournament viewership and prize money.

>>381285602
They are core abilities. Two examples that immediately come to mind:
The assassin constantly swings across the map with three charges that regenerate in a short amount of time.
The Titan can chain rocket jumps together as well as blind fire rockets through the air to quickly fly across the map.

Arena shooters are shit anyway. Deathmatch is a shit and boring gamemode. Objective game modes are where it's at.

>>381286417
Dirty Bomb would be alright but it's way too fucking slow in many ways. It's got CS-tier movement acceleration so strafing in combat is slow as hell. The guns have too much spread. Iron sights in a game like DB are retarded and were only put in because Splash Damage are a bunch of hacks who still think Cowadoody is the only way to make a successful FPS.

We dont know the numbers for Overwatch, they only tell us total individual players. Do you really believe Killer Instinct has 10 million current players when SFV still hasnt managed 2 million sales and yet beats it in entrants in every tournament without question?

It takes the same amount of time to find a match in overwatch as it does for Titanfall 2 on PC, and the latter has 3k players on a good day. Maybe its just the fault of the matchmaking algorithm, but I'm pretty sure if OW had good daily numbers we wouldve heard it by now.

If you look at the stats for fighting game sales, SF gets regularly beaten by loads of other fighting games, but when it comes down to game dedication most other fighting games simply stop being played while people continue to play SF.

>>381287093
>It takes the same amount of time to find a match in overwatch as it does for Titanfall 2 on PC, and the latter has 3k players on a good day.
Overwatch has way more players so it can afford to be pickier with its matchmaking without compromising queue times.

regardless of the amount of players, server capacities are still limited and can still only accommodate a finite number of players at any given time. more players will actually make queues longer if there's a server capacity bottleneck.

It popularized third person shooters for story and competition, also popularized the mechanic of sticking to cover contextually as opposed to by carefully positioning your character's body.

With the idea of "in cover" as a state, you get stuff like peeking, blind fire, vaulting, and rolls.

Also popularized chainsaws on a gun and active-time reload.

Third person also meant you can spend more on graphics to make your main character stand out, and for some people it's way easier to play third person games than first person because they get more context.

tying it to a character means you can only have 1 movement options at all time, which the enemy can see and expect you to do it
