Why do you think it is woke? Is it really woke to have a gamer who is not in a wheelchair play a character in a wheelchair?

It seems very ill suited for a full priced game. Even a $40 game, it is no cheaper than that!

1.) I am all for empowering people with disabilities. 100%! I just think there was a much smarter way to do this. Why are they only in this game!? Why not have a character or two with disabilities incorporated into other games?

You may be right, i don't know. It really seems like a bad idea to me.

2.) They allocated a software dev team to create this. There already appears to be a huge gap of first party software. Maybe they should have allocated resources differently.

More like they wanted to find a way to use both mouse controls at once and this is what they came up with.

They want us to play as a paraplegic just as much as they want us to play as ugly female orcs. Gaming is fucking escapism.

Absofuckinglutely. Iam able bodied. I want to be empowered when escaping this world rather than disempowered by imagining myself as someone in a worse situation.

I assumed it was F2P. It looks like another bad demo game. It's not actually a paid title, is it?

 

[March Climber]

It's as bad as Blast ball looked, no idea why the arenas are so bland.

Give the disabled a bit of joy and color lol.

Agreed, it feels like a rough concept, like the Rocket League game before Rocket League existed.

 

[alienator]

Sure looks like a game i would spend 90 euros on

 

[alphachino]

I don't think anyone thought a game where you control a vehicle hitting a ball into a net would be great either so I'll hold off on judging it for now.

nobody? Rocket League came out of the gate like a rocket (no pun intended) being a free game upon launch on PS+.

Anyone who liked Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars knew they were in for an absolute treat.

 

[alphachino]

LMAO

"It's a game for cripples! YAY!!"

 

[alphachino]

I know you jest, but I honestly wouldn't spend 90 cent on it

 

[Throttle]

The lack of color is surprising.

 

[MayauMiao]

The lack of color is surprising.

What is more shocking is Nintendo using THIS game to highlight the use of Switch 2 mouse function.

The fact that I had already forgotten about its existence until I read this thread should tell you all you need to know.

 

[Lunarorbit]

I was laughing my ass off when this murderball game got revealed. Just another tech demo they want to charge you for

 

[mopspear]

I bought ARMS, won't be buying WHEELCHAIRS

This is the hardest I've ever laughed at a comment from this website.

This actually warmed my heart. At least some people are finding joy out of this title.

Not for me but this video alone makes me want to stop criticizing it.

Pretty sure he was making fun of it.

 

[MrRibeye]

The visuals are typical for student game design projects done in one semester in UE5 with a group of 3.

 

[Arsic]

Very bland and grey. As you say it doesn't have the charm of Arms.

Or legs.

 

[GrandlyBodacious]

Oh. I might be dense.

 

[Zarak]

Looks like a steaming pile of fried dog shit.

 

[Moses85]

Like Arms… this is also

First off, you need a flat surface in front of you to play. 2nd, that surface has to be at a comfortable level. 3rd, you have to pick up the "mouse" to make a shot, and that seems really unintuitive and uncomfortable considering I lightly move a mouse around with thumb and pinkie.

The whole thing just seems unfun.

Based on previews for the mouse mode, it'll work just fine on your laps.

Game looks completely boring though.
