As a non MOBA game player I'm a little disappointed
Because this might mean abandoning dota? Or because you're just not all that into what you're seeing?
This sounds to me like it's going to be more like overwatch than like dota, so I expect that's really what they're trying to compete with.
Just personally they arent my type of game. Single player games are my forte
I think so too on the Overwatch DOTA hybrid, it makes sense they are making MOBA/Royale style games since that's what's popular (esp internationally) and what makes money. But again, not my genre.
Ah, I see now that you said "as a non moba player". I missed that. I thought you meant that for someone who likes MOBAs, it was disappointing, so I was curious as to why.
But yeah, I don't like them either, so it's disappointing to me too. Too many heroes for me, give me a multiplayer game with character customization or 5 classes, but not 100 heroes, that drives me nuts.
The screenshots on it look so bad, too. It's very generic looking. Uncharacteristic for Valve.
You should take anything from the screenshots, and that should be obvious. It's in early alpha, nothing is finished. It's weird how anyone could not understand any of this.
I mean, I still remember when TF2 was going to be a generic war game and they were showing it off hella early in development.
Remember when HL2 leaked?
