Why the fuck was this shit in beta for like 5 years?

>>381858867

I really like the art style of the game
glad it's getting a second shot at an audience, but it feels almost as late as Battleborn going F2P

also this seems to be in direct competition with battleborn, so it'll be hilarious to see that pan out

I played the closed alpha, it's bad. The designer thinks it's bad. The testers all thought it was bad.

The artstyle doesn't make my eyes bleed so I think people will embrace it better than battleborn, open beta is currently very populated right now, it will surely do better once is on steam though.

>>381859529
>The designer thinks it's bad
I need to know more

>>381859529
Closed Alpha needed a lot of fixing up, the game is a lot better right now, a lot of the characters got retooled and the creatures are less tanky.

>>381859625
He played in the alpha tests and frequently made jokes about the game's quality in a 'haha... but really, it's true' kind of way

>>381859964

let's not say things we can't take back, christ anon

>>381858732
I tried it a while back. great art, gameplay was only decent, I'd like it to feel more solid. I think it's fun though, I will give it another shot when it comes to steam. good thing they got to use steam too, or it might not survive long.

>>381859529
The game was practically flipped on its head overnight with the latest build and the game's been in development hell for like 4 years. If this designer is still saying that then he should probably consider a different career

>>381858732
I had the game installed on my Xbone for ages but never got around to it. Heard about the free skins so I ended up playing a match. Art is fantastic and it was definitely different than the average MOBA, but I really can't say I'd stick with it since I don't have any friends who play and I wouldn't want to invest a lot of time into a game like this by myself.

Easily among my 3 favourite MOBAs right now though.

No because by definition assfaggots is unfun garbage that's only played by teens and dirtpoor thirdworld monkey men.

I'll say this much. Gameplay wise this game looks way more fun then Battleborn. I hope it turns out good. Really dig the designs.

Why is it called Gigantic?

>>381862848
it's a shooter with the pacing of a moba. pretty comfy, VERY objective based. literally any decision you want to make as a team revolves around which objective you want to push for/ rotate to.

Wu has a constant flow of medium damage if you aren't retarded. He stacks armor while weakening and interrupting his enemies which fucks them over completely. He has enough damage to kill squishies, and enough skirmishing power to fight most other fighters except Knossos. They do need to fix his fucking awful uppercut though.

Hogstrong, is that you?

Last time I played the UI was pretty atrocious, like it's pretty much impossible to know what's happening to your character or what any of your upgrades do unless you just memorize everything. The game is just too fast to try and mouse over every tiny icon and upgrade path mid-game.

Looks nice and a couple characters are fun but I don't know why you'd want to play it over something like HotS if you like the constant brawling and map gimmicks.

>>381864915
If you've played any bad generic moba you've already played paragon. Improving the graphics does nothing to help when the rest of the game is generic garbage.

I don't know how anyone could go back to smite's retarded control system. Why the fuck did they lock everything to a 2d plane but make it 3rd person camera, thus cutting off vision. It makes less than no sense, either go full 3d movement and aiming like what gigantic has or stick to isometric like Dota.

If they manage to make it that'll have to be one of the biggest turnarounds.

Already played it on xbone.
Xenobia is a cutie but I just can't get into dumb moba games. Especially not one with such an obnoxious artstyle.

My biggest gripe with the game is that match making is pretty bad and that the playerbase is small. I've played in the closed beta for bit more than a year now and the majority of the matches I've played have been very one-sided with one team steamrolling the opposing one. The vast majority of matches has at least one person becoming butthurt over their team or their own inadequacies and they leave the game within the first 5-10 minutes, almost certainly ensuring their own team will lose, making the whole match unfun for both sides. Also, getting matched up against a group of top players playing together when your team is just randoms is almost never fun.

These are some major issues, but I keep coming back to the game because Gigantic itself isn't bad. I'd like to see match making improved and some sort of community self moderation get implemented. If I had the option to flag cancerous players to never get teamed up with them while solo queuing that would help a lot.

>>381876809
That's just mobas and team based games in general though. Matchmaking is always fucked but people still insist on it because they don't want to organize teams like any other competitive thing.

yeah, the art style pretty much garantuees that this will be a flop and be forgotten in at least one month. Your typical tumblr / Gearbox character designs. BORING.

>>381878487
I can agree with you on the tumblr part, especially when it comes to the female characters. I don't see the resemblance to gearbox's games though.

Played it and its terrible.

>>381879214

No anon, people in /v/ don't do critique.
They just drop by and paint anything that is not their personal cup of tea like the ultimate failure.
You know, like how Overwatch was going to be dead on release and how its designs were going to be universally hated because they were too cartoony and "whacky like Disney shit, who'd like that?"

You just add "tumblr" or "shit" to anything without any real explanation behind it, and that's how you have a /v/ conversation.

they're both inspired by shitty 80s cartoons the artists grew up with, that probably explains the similarities. Everyone wants to scream that Zandora is Tumblr when they aren't aware of the obvious inspiration.

>>381868842
Coming from someone who can't get into the big MOBAs (LoL, DOTA, HotS) I can safely say this isn't one of those. Third person camera and a functioning z-axis really adds a lot to these sort of games, you can take the art in so much better and the gameplay isn't restricted to CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK beyond your LMB which you could hold down for some characters anyways. There's a freedom of movement that Overwatch/Paladins/Battleborn doesn't have, and some characters can take advantage of it fairly well. I'd say it's worth checking out if you want something fun and fast-paced with friends.

Solo queue is a nightmare now, they added voice comm but there's no push-to-talk, and there still isn't text chat. Hoping they can get that in for next month's Steam release, where they'll also hopefully ramp up marketing.

>>381879770
>because they were too cartoony
this is the epitome of "I don't like it so its bad". Overwatch's character designs aren't the hottest, but "being too cartoony" isn't even remotely why.

I tried it during the first Arc weekend and still ran into some bugs that kept me from playing. I'll give it one last chance on Steam but they need to get their shit together get the game feature complete and squish the bugs.

I wish there was more lore/fluff

There's supposed to be like 5 great houses but we only see the guardians of two (Leiran for Auriron, Grenn for Devaedra)

>>381880406
They're coming further down the line supposedly. There was a bunch of lore stuff in the streams but nobody has collected it and wiki'd it yet.

I actually really enjoyed the Beta when it was working. But there were so many technical problems, I just stopped giving a shit. Lots of disconnects, 1/3 matches would never even start, and too many people leaving way too quickly.

If there isn't some kind of loss prevention and connectivity doesn't improve dramatically, I'm just gonna continue forgetting this exists. Will it be free to play after full release?

>>381881953

They're the Genjis of this game. Tripp literally says "nothing personal" after a kill, these characters attract the worst kinds of faggots. A good Tripp on Sanctum Falls is a godsend though, especially if they have an Imani camping on that fucking arch in the middle.

>Sanctum
>they have an Imani and HK
>can't summon the river point because their Sven runs in, aggros the creature and HK/Imani melt it in seconds even as an adult

Our Trip/Tyto actually took care of them really well, Knossos would've gotten a bunch of kils had he not spent the whole game killing creatures at the right moment, the guy must have been playing for a while or just has common sense. It was refreshing seeing a Xenobia actually not summon a point after spamming DO NOT SUMMON a couple of times. text chat can't come soon enough

>getting 4k guardian damage as Sven

please go for the wound it's literally how you win the game, as a support I can get you out of there but I really shouldn't be doing the bulk of that damage


>>381883567
Define "no bullshit". In terms of MOBA shit it's got there's:

>skill trees
>towers in the form of monsters you summon, all with different effects and can be upgraded to bigger monsters
>skills with cooldowns
>ults (referred to as focus attacks)
>an objective you have to kill to win

No item shop. It's got a weekly rotation of heroes, 5 a week that's random for everyone playing. Buy shit with in-game currency or the shitty currency you buy with money for pretty skins that ultimately add nothing, but actually look real nice.
