Who Plays Smite
Is there anybody who plays Smite in the Forum?
Would like to play some rounds with a team sometimes and i think it could be really fun with some creedlings.
The learning curve for the game is not very Difficult when you stick with playing arena which is a very simple and fast paced game mode.
If you like to check it out look for Smite in Steam.
If you wanna check some Footage of Arena gameplay

Re: Who Plays Smite
apparently it's easier to learn than DOTA2 and less hardcore. friend of mine says only good things about it.
Re: Who Plays Smite
Smite > dota and lol
Smite has Zeus, Poseidon. Dota and lol have gay avatars.
Also the camera of smite makes it closer to any kind of fps game.

Re: Who Plays Smite
I agree with Dante and Kine on this.
I tried dota and lol but I did not like them so much.
Reason was that they have a very deep metagame and therefore a high learning curve. Also the birdview and the whole walk by clicking around thing did not really feel that good.
I actually avoided playing smite cause it was titled as a moba and my experience with LOL and Dota did not make me wanna play another moba.
One boring day I gave it a try anyways and after 2 hours of gaming I found myself buying the ultimate god pack to get all the 75 chars and future ones
I really enjoyed the fps like wasd control and the arena mode. where I do not have to care for lanes and stuff just bring my npcs to theyr portal or kill the other team until they run out of tickets. I played some conquest too which is the traditional moba style with 3 lanes and jungle and whatnot but that is more for an organized team that has a good knowledge about the meta already. Most times I play arena and just having fun.

Re: Who Plays Smite
Arena is the best mode they have, but the lane system is also better than other ones IMO, cuz of the game itself xD

Re: Who Plays Smite
So you mean if I didn't like Dota, because it was confusing af and I was to lazy to get used to it I would still enjoy playing Smite?

Yes. I say all mobas are gay games, but Smite aint on that definition.
I've enjoyed it, you should also give it a try. Even tho there are about 7 months I dont play smite.

Disagree with that

Exactly what happend to me i hated Dota i was already pissed before i got into the game cause they have the worst UI ever
I played a bit of LOL but got bored after like 3 days of play cause the was no progression for me and the community sucks like shit.....
Then i got into smite and it just was a better Feeling. Sure its not easy in the beginning but at least i could figure out what i should do and how the other gods work etc.. Plus the Community was much better People actually helped me instead of just Yelling at me
But yeah if you like download the game and if you dont know what to do and i am around lets try it out. Boty tried the Tutorial yesterday and played one game with me. unfortunately we got wrecked by bots cause our team sucked

Re: Who Plays Smite
Decided against writing an essay.
Short Version: I prefer Paladins over Overwatch
Developers have a bad habit of making well designed games that die early though.
Re: Who Plays Smite
Yeah i have seen Paladins and i am thinking of buying the Founder Package thingy but i am not sure if its worth. From the Footage i have seen so far i still prefer Overwatch over Paladins. but you never know until you have played it yourself.
And Kine feel free to write an Essay i will surely read it
Did you play the game already or is your Opinion also based on videos and stuff?

Re: Who Plays Smite
Main thing I dislike about Overwatch is how much it focuses on chokepoint gameplay. It's a giant spammy clusterfuck carnival. Over and over again. It plays the same as Dirty Bomb and probably Paladins, all of them being objective based team game modes but the weapons in Overwatch makes it too spammy for my taste.
Points in favour for Paladins is firstly what looks to be a more open map design. Dirty Bomb maps are cool and very very well designed but it's still linear CS:GO'ish. Yes you get phases and fight along different sections of the path but it's the same path. Over and over. Which is cool nothing wrong with that.
But Paladins maps look REALLY open. Like Contract Wars and BeGone's Crane OPEN. And I miss those. Coz those can stay interesting for longer. Objectives will travel along the map but moving from section to section instead of paths as it is in DB.
The other main thing is the 'promise' that game devs actually pay attention to shot mechanics. This is only from that one video but there looks to be more potential in terms of skill based shooting. Which many many shooter games under develop.
What makes CS:GO a skill shooter is its' guns. How you use them, where you can fight with what you have, how you fight etc are largely based on what you have on you. Dirty Bomb and later newbie friendly shooters field one size fits all weapons. There really isn't too big a difference between all the rifles in DB. Yes DPS, shot spread, mechanics might look different on paper but I play pretty much the same style everywhere on the map using everything. Coz it's one size fits all.
Contract Wars despite its' other shortcomings did get one major thing right. Their weapons. Specifically making each and every one of their 62+ rifles, snipers and SMGs shoot very differently. And I mean VERY differently. Scoring prokills on almost all their weapons back when I did play says I'm qualified to make that statement. Most of all however, the reason WHY I bothered to make all those prokills on all those different weapons (some weren't meant for prokilling even) was because it's such a joy to play a game where the devs actually makes shooting their different weapons both a skill and consideration. I enjoyed shooting all those different guns (maybe not MP7 tasking which is virally shit, it's so bad I still remember how bad it was 2 years later).
Devs say / promise that Paladins could be one of those games too where the weapons actually require different skill sets and some brain. And that I like. Overwatch, yea some guns look like it plays different / require different skill sets but it still ends up being a spam fest. The faster pace of Overwatch compounds the problem even more.
Finally. I love the DOTA2 style heroes pick in Paladins. Believe players have to pick one different character. Each one playing totally different to one another. I liek that. Forces people to work together for better or for worse. Similar to Ghost Recon, DOTA etc.
TL;DR
Overwatch maps are the same as Dirty Bomb
Overwatch has better weapons than Dirty Bomb
Overwatch and Dirty Bomb focuses on chokepoint clusterfucking
Dirty Bomb suffers less clusterfucking thanks to its plain ol' vanilla weapons
Paladins shares the same objective based gameplay as OW and DB but done in open sections instead of paths.
Paladins have interesting weapons, DB does not.
Overwatch have better weapons imo but in the end it still ends up as clusterfucking. Paladins classes and weapons has more of a MOBA feel to them while Overwatch is Unreal Tournament 2017 the way it should be done.
Overwatch plays like Dirty Bomb with upgraded clusterfuck weapons
Paladins has new gameplay.
Paladins > Overwatch
* also ... love the upgrade on the go like Smite using cards. From videos I have watched on a few of the Paladins heroes, they seem functional and really depends on the match. Potentially your builds will vary from match to match depending on what you need most as the match progresses.
** All said and done, there will be more Overwatch players than anything else because of Marketing budget.

I may or may not get the beta access once internet gets installed depending on another game I'm waiting for. If dreadnought launches when I'm back online then Paladin will end up on my todo list

Re: Who Plays Smite
OK
I'm adult enough to admit when my predictions are rong. Yes R-O-N-G rong.
Overwatch is the only shooter game that should ever exist.
The End.

- Spoiler:
- 1. Yes it is chokepoint clusterfucking to the core
2. Yes it is linear objectives on a path gameplay
3. Yes I was correct that their weapons and skill set requirements would be the best among all other games
4. I was r-o-n-g to think it would not workKine wrote:Overwatch plays like Dirty Bomb but with upgraded clusterfuck weapons
What I did not anticipate was the 21 Heroes on Overwatch.
It isn't just about weapons.
It isn't about the bad maps or game modes.
It is all about the Heroes. And I never would have imagined how much that changes a game.
Yes I'm calling them Heroes and not characters or classes. Why ?
Because each and every single one of them is different. Requires different skill sets to use. Suits different people differently. With unique strengths and weaknesses even to a point better designed and thought out than Dota Heroes. Which is saying alot. Picks and counter picks in a shooter game ? Yes it's there.
Shooter games have and tried fielding many different characters doing different things. But none are able to do it the way Overwatch did. No amount of text or assumptions or explanation can ever truly describe what it FEELs like to play these Heroes or how it changes a shooter game when properly done.
And Blizzard got it done proper.
Singularly the most fun I've had playing a video game since ... video games were invented.
Level 1 to 35 between May 5th to 10th. With absolutely no reason to level up other than just y'know, the game levels me up when playing. No upgrades, side grades, unlocks or any of that progression mechanic bullshit. Everything is there right from the start.
Is it complicated ?
If you can work out how to download porn via torrents you should be good to go. Different heroes is like different websites. Each one has you clicking different links to get the same thing done.
Yes I'm comparing Overwatch to pr0n. It's something you don't really want people in RL know you like doing but at the same time you cannot imagine life without it.
I'm not exaggerating nor the only one who feels like playing anything else after Overwatch is just .... ergh.. Same feeling I got when going back to my own car after test driving a Ferrari.
Racxer is gonna disagree saying he doesn't get why or how people can play the game for more than 3 matches. Racxer is a mutant who has a lyfe and is capable of independent thought outside the hive mind. He also hacks Dirty Bomb crates to get gold and cobalts all day long. His opinions will end humanity. Whereas Overwatch has the potential to stabilize regions across borders and spread Man's ideals throughout the galaxy (including North Korea). That being, shooting anything not on your team occupying a geographic location you want will elevate you and your friends to a higher level consciousness condition called 'Victory' thus ending all strife and hardship from existence.
When life on earth the way we know it ends, Aliens will discover the remains of this planet and find:
Overwatch
