Reeks of Fortnite x Twitch appeal, to me. The movement and gameplay in the trailer I just watched gave me a headache. It seems like more cashgrab licensing. I may be totally wrong of course, and I hope that it is a good game for those who intend to play it. I 'm a Marvel guy and a superhero guy but have been burned out on it for awhile, so this would be a nice callback if it were actually good.

Beta impressions were pretty good i think.

Pretty excited for this. I heard good things about it. I think I read somewhere that skins are earnable? Huge plus for me.

So what kind of Steam peak concurrent numbers will it have at launch? I thought 400k at first, but that feels like an insulting low ball. Lots of full price games have 100k launches these days and Helldivers 2 got 458k at launch. Black Wukong 2.2M, Hogwarts had 693k and that's an IP on the same value scale as MCU alone (spiderman counted separately).
It gets a Chinese release, is a Chinese product, there's even Chinese language voice acting. Marvel is popular in the middle kingdom, so there are a few factors which might give it a similar pride bump Wukong got.

Unless recent crop of shite Marvel movies damaged the brand irrevocably, let's go with 2M & a 10% error margin.

Even if you take away his ignorance, he's basically saying that no other games are allowed to exist in the same genre. What a dolt. We should've stopped with Metroidvanias after Metroid? Gotcha.
Have you played Rivals? The game 100% copies OW characters but with a Marvel skin.

There is on Steam. Not sure about consoles

I was able to pre-download on Xbox using the app on my phone linked to my Series X.

For anyone who wants to download early, just look for the game on the official Xbox app and tap "Install on Console".

Ok and OW copied Team Fortress. And so on and so forth. The industry copies other games constantly. Some are more overt than others. Who cares. As long as it improves upon the formula then be my guest.

So many platformers have copied Mario over the years but no one bats an eye lol.
No I mean the characters are exact copies just with different names and skins. It’s a compete CCP copy job like that Horizon game.

Yeah I will definitely check it out. Don't know how long this kind of game will hold my interest these days but worth trying.
 
Looks like the idiot deleted his tweet, he was probably getting roasted like crazy, as he should.

Ybarra literally compared names, but even if you want to look at it deeper, then no widowmaker and black widow aren't clones of each other just because black widow has a sniper rifle, black widow is also shown to be strong in melee range and manages a kill on melee range black panther even; widowmaker is not winning any fight in melee range against a melee archetype hero.
Everything all the heroes do (except mantis, fuck this MCU portrayal of her), has been completely inline with how the character operates in the source materials, which obviously all predate overwatch by decades, if anything widowmaker is a filthy black widow rip off

Game just released 45 mins ago and almost 300k concurrent Steam players right now and increasing.

I played 3 matches and it's A LOT of fun. Can't believe this game is fucking free.

I turned down dc universe online, when it comes to super hero games the combat, story and gameplay needs to be right (Batman Arkham games paved the way)
