Images leak of Valve's next game, and it's an Overwatch-style hero shooter (www.eurogamer.net)

Though the way the leaker describes it makes it sound more like a 3rd person MOBA than a hero shooter.

What if you've already played all the big names in that genre and hate all of them?

It's been many years, maybe even decades, since I liked a straight up turn-based single player RPG. I seriously can't think of one that has sucked me in since FFX. I even tried Divinity Original Sin 2 after so much hype and good reviews from my friends. But I just didn't like it.

However, Baldur's Gate 3 sucked me in. According to steam, approaching 100 hours of playtime (although I'm sure there is a good chunk of time where I just walked away with the PC with it "paused.")

I'm not saying you'll like the game, I have no idea. But to already be convinced that you won't like it based on pretty much the nothing we've got it terribly presumptuous.

I don't think 'past data' is nothing. Something might defy your expectations but its perfectly reasonable to expect you won't like something if you've never liked anything from that genre before. I'm not ordering pizza from a restaurant if I've eaten 12 pizzas before and never liked any of them. I'm ordering the pasta or something.

Especially if you have liked games that company has made in other genres you already know you do like. I'd have been pretty excited about almost any other Valve announcement.

I hope the game is good for people who like that sort of thing.

I’m not ordering pizza from a restaurant if I’ve eaten 12 pizzas before and never liked any of them.

I was very intentional with my language, and pointed out that we know pretty much nothing about the game, so claiming you know you won't like it is h reasonable. This is nothing like having a pizza, not liking it, and then not getting that same pizza again. This is like not liking the pizza at one store, it's much closer to saying you don't like the pizza in one store, so you know you won't like it in another. Still imperfect because it would be closer saying you've never had a pizza you like, so you won't like the pizza in a new store, which is more reasonable because you have a lot of information about that pizza.

But we have virtually nothing about this game.

To be faaaaiiiiir… D:OS (both of them) make the age-old mistake of having really slow, uninteresting, prologuish RPG starts. It takes a solid 5h of powergaming or 10h+ of normal play to get past that hump. That’s the point where the story picks up and you have enough tools to start really taking advantage of the games sandbox.

With BG3 they really seemed to have learned their lessons.

Well, it's valve, so honestly the odds of it being genre-defining in an already established genre? Pretty high, actually. Seriously, when is the last time valve put out a shit game?

Here's hoping it helps OW2 finally die.

[–] Inui@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Well they did make Artifact. But if something is the best of something you already don't like, that's still disappointing. I don't play games like DOTA or CS so outside of Half Life Alyx they haven't put out anything they caters to me in a very long time. Since Portal 2? Which is fine. But I'm still disappointed.
