How is it?

All it is is CS 1.6 with WC3 mod. Its kino

I wish it had coomerbait characters on the same level as OW. Even their fenales look absolutely soulless.

It's gonna have a decent player base, will probably rival cs:go in some ways even in the west. But will I play it? hell no.
I hate counter strike

>CS 1.6 with WC3 mod
Good times.

No. If it was this, I would be sucking its dick as hard as I do my boyfriend at night. This is absolute corporate cancer made form.

It's based. Hopefully they add an animal character to play.

Oh jesus fuck are those all the characters? Only the masked chick looks any good christ almighty.

>Hm, they can't ALL be cats and dogs... Oh, I know! I'll make one character a bird, and one character a turtle....
lmao what a fucking hack of an artist

It'll maintain a respectable playerbase purely because riot threw so much money at the marketing, but the game is subpar even by the standards of chink CS knockoffs. Asians will continue playing Crossfire and westerners will continue playing CS and nobody will remember this game in a year.

It's truly amazing how furry art can suck every last drop of character and charm out of anything, no matter how iconic and well realized it originally was. That artist clearly has a good amount of technical skill and understands composition, yet the character redraws are just so fucking generic and lifeless that it makes me feel visceral disgust at the artlessness and lack of imagination.

>Dude lets put abilities in CS
If I wanted to play Counter strike, I'd play Counter strike. If I wanted to play Overwatch, I'd play Overwatch. They created a mix of two games that didn't need to exist.

the only thing big about this game is the money they put into advertising the fucking thing
as soon as that's gone, the game will be as well.

People said the same for Fortnite, and yet here we are.

dumbass opinion as always, Edelgard

I really think it's gonna be huge while Yas Forums's prediction of when it will die gets pushed further and further back.
>dead in a few months
>dead by winter
>dead in a year
>dead by the end of next year
>amount of new players coming into the game start to drop
>DED GAEM LOL
Not to mention people here talking about how soulless the game is and how its for zoomers and if you want to play a tac shooter you should just play CS while they play some weeb gacha vn garbage.

Not that guy, but fornite was a desperation move by epic with minimal marketing that accidentally found a niche that nobody realized existed and blew up into streaming from there. Meanwhile, many games have tried to do "CS but with powers" and failed to maintain a playerbase e.g. that GitS game and blacklight.
The only thing that can save this game from the same fate is if it manages to gain a critical mass of players at or near launch and can retain players purely through being popular, because there is nothing about the gameplay that is going to promote player retention.

It's clearly not for you.

nobody wants to play it, it fills absolutely zero void in video gaming currently.

I wish I could sell this like the losers did in the first days.

If Valorant doesn't at least have the staying power of Overwatch (where it was hot for a couple years and still kind of relevant two years after that) then Riot's fighting game is fucking dead in the water. If "from the makers of LoL" doesn't get people to finally fucking sit down and learn a fighter, nothing will. Sad thing is that even after dying the LoL fighter will probably still be a Top 5 populated game in the genre for a few years or so.

Yeah like Diabotical was?

Im having a ton of fun with it. Played cs for years but im bored as fuck with it but this feels really fresh to me and with riot behind the game I feel itll be huge for many years to come.

If its an NA account you can still sell it for like 50 bucks

I just cant see that happening
The fighting game is gonna be the most dumbed down baby mode fighter ever but it's not possible to close the gap between beginners/scrubs and the people who actually learn fundamentals and pressure
It'll be huge for a little while but it can't last for long, especially with how much Riot likes to baby people

got a key, tried it out, it's nothing like what all the twitch shills are trying to sell to you. boring, kinda just a worse CSGO

>accidentally found a niche that nobody realized existed
Wrong. Streamers had been playing h1z1 for years and then pubg became huge and THEN fortnite came along and took over the br genre and hasn't been toppled since.

>worst
>worst
fixed.

>riot
Chink bullshit. Dead on arrival.
Move along people, we don't support terrorist regimes here.

who the fuck said that

play cs 1.6 warcraft mod and you'll play the same game.

Yes

It's just shilled super hard, mechanically it is nothing special or original which is what DayZ, Pubg, fortnite, ect had going for them.

you mean better game, because that shit was a classic back then

Riot's usual business model of paywalling the majority of characters and making new paywall characters OP as fuck isn't something that can work with a fighting game, but will be something that they do anyway.
The game also looks like generic shit art-wise, as is SOP for riot these days, which is unacceptable for a fighting game, especially one that needs to make all of its money off of cosmetics and wifus.
Most importantly though, there's probably only a handful of well known streamers who are interested in fighting games and can play them, so their usual strategy of dropping a few million on streamers and bots isn't going to be effective.
It is absolutely 100% DOA.

> Streamers had been playing h1z1 for years and then pubg became huge
No shit, retard. Fortnite's niche was the casual BR market, which nobody had tapped or probably even realized existed until Epic's last second attempt to save their shitty co-op zombie shooter struck gold. Until fortnite hit BR games were universally hardcore mil-sim style tactical shooters, now half of the BR cash-ins are appealing to the casual audience; even cliffy B had a go at it.

Yas Forumsalorant is going to be bigger than fortnite

Don’t forget slower movements speed and hitboxes as large and lenient as your mom

Diabotical hasn't even gone into open beta yet

But D.Va is a bunny which means she likes to breed a lot.

Yas Forums always likes to compare things with soul and things without. valorant is the most soulless chink shit graphics game I've ever played. it reminds me of tencent chink games you see on mobile

Yes it will be big, it works on potato, they dont have references to terrorism and bombs + they are well known company (Riot) in esports, so they are much more likely to get big sponsors for esports. You can subjectively tell it's shit or objectively mediocre, but apparently it doesn't matter. It changes the long-standing formula of Counter-Strike, which will make it damn fresh for the oldfags, at the same time it will still feel relatively similar. The netcode is being promised being great, anti-cheat will run on kernel driver (so there basically won't be cheaters), Riot generally knows what they are doing. They do also excellent moves so far when it comes to marketing, gotta say I'm impressed at Riot and I'm sure they will end up being successful if they won't fuck up something really, really HARD.

not a fan of a game, but objectively and subjectively (from my gamedev experience) I see already a success

It's fun

I remember being an undead and orc chad. Running around and an heroing on people, and also throwing grenades and one shotting idiots.

The black lady from this game reminds me of orc

H1z1 and pubg are hardcore mil-sim style tac shooters? Since when? How are they not casual br games? You also seem to forget how popular pubg was, that game is what really blew up streamers like shroud and summit and doc. Pretty sure nobody who wasnt into cs knew who shroud even was before pubg. Fuck even tyler1 gained a bunch of viewers playing h1z1 when he was banned from league.

What epic did that made fortnite so dominant was that it was first and foremost free to play, went with a more cartoony art style instead of realistic graphics so that it could run on most machines and made it appealing to zoomers with the dances and skins and shit. Also while I'm not into the game myself you have to give epic credit for the stream of new content they constantly pour into the game.

Apex syndrome. It's "big" because streamers are being paid thousands to promote it. Give it a month and it'll be dead and the new hotness will be there.

All the character designs are shit.
Except Cypher.
I like his.

people did?
never got on BR bandwagon, didn't hear much about fortnite untill it blew up

i like it but for me it fixes a lot of shit i hate about CSGO compared to gldsrc CS and CSS, so it suites me.

flat clean gradients > harsh grainy bumpmaps
saturated colors > brown'n'grey
high contrast full lit > fog overlay and pure black rat-holes
etc

Haven't played, but I like the core ideas. Shooting requires skill like CS (inb4 someone posts CS webm when bullets don't hit), barriers make it easy to position and jump straight to action, abilities are like fancy CS nades and more. I see this formula being addictive if there's good stuff you can unlock playing.

Seems like the shittiest aspects of CS combined with the shittiest aspects of overwatch though... Not sure if I like it. Even though I enjoyed both of those games to an extent.

Its counter strike but without good maps, weapons, and aesthetics.
Why the fuck would anyone want to play as some Chinese cartoon character when I can play as a faceless CT. Also the game is slow, has janky animations, and zero ragdoll physics. Literally mobile game tier.

I agree with what both of you said. Although APEX seemed like a better game than this.
