I tried fortnite since everyone on Get Played podcast loved it and got the x-23 skin and i died in my first match to my first opponent and then deleted the game.

Fortnite puts you against bots in your first several games.

Congrats. You got killed by a bot.

How many companies lost their rear end thinking that Fortnite changed the gaming landscape instead of it being the exception, not the rule? I did have a little hope for Rumbleverse though.

How’s Overwatch 2 doing?

It depends on when they played, but I do believe the OP should tell us when they played so we can LMAO.

Still laughing they quit after dying when they dropped in their first game. It is a causal competitive MP. You won't win right away.

If OP wants to try again I'm more than willing to play with them and give them tips and tricks. This goes for anyone and it is a good time to start playing with the new season starting today.

I also had a rough time getting into fortnite, it's a lot of stuff to understand with the pressure of there being 99 dudes out to kill you, and it was sensory overload of pop culture, but I'm glad my nephew kept wanting to play with me because like five matches later I got very comfortable in that game and now I'll pop it every other week.

I should load it up now to get the basement key from Attack on Titan on my goku

THanks, but i was predisposed to dislike the game anyway, I don't like competitive games. but it was talked up so drat much on that show that even knowing I wouldn't like i still dropped ten bucks on a skin before I even played because those are the exact type of mtx that cut through all my defenses. I don't give a poo poo about xp boosts or new weapons, it's the stuff that lets you customize your appearance that get me.

if you think theres not enough characters in the game, get it I guess. As it is without any DLC the game was just a tiny bit overlong for me without even chatting up everyone to full friendship.

Also if you get the dlc you get morbius lmao.

Does feel like the game could use a little more of a balanced ratio between the gents and the ladies but that said I don't know whom they'd add. Elsa Bloodstone maybe but I have to imagine they already had to fight for whomever the execs considered 'obscure.'

They also didn't announce a studio or publisher, so it's basically like when Rob Liefeld or Valiant claim they're making a big budget blockbuster movie on Youngblood or Ninjak.

Give me a Youngblood movie with all the actors costumes with tons of pouches, and never show the feet in the entire movie. Also massive thighs.

I believe that it's happening since it's basically the #2 guy at videogames (and all the other media they consider too new) at Paramount. But the interview deffo reeks of the ink barely drying and it not being in active development quite yet. It'll be a few years before we know if this is a cool thing or if it's some small studio trying to punch way above their weight.

Oh to be clear, I meant there's probably a contract somewhere to someday make a thing, just like those movies, just that I'm sceptical about it ever getting beyond development hell.

So what if Multiversus is deleting his contact information from your phone before he goes to buy milk, he'll be back, maybe he'll buy you a candy.

Open betas generally do not last an entire year, win Best Fighting Game at The Game Awards, have multiple seasons of DLC characters and battle passes, and gp on long enough to see their player base die.

The other half was both Rick and Morty

i just want to check, it was always described as an open beta, or was it early access with the promise that purchases would carry over to 1.0 release?

There was a "pre-season pass" and then just normal season passes, and nothing that they said suggested anything other than that the game was out.

It was always described as an open beta, they were just happy to take your money anyway.

Apparently it was listed as beta on the in game title screen but literally nobody assumed that meant 'we are taking away access after taking your money' vs 'It will eventually roll out a 1.0' like every other game like this

Open beta
Then seasons, the game version would be (season number).# in updates, the most recent was version 2.3

They cleverly never actually dropped the open beta wording, but also never put it front and center. You were allowed to spend a lot of money into the game, including the 100 dollar edition
https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/multiversus/

So, they technically never lied, but nobody thought of the game as beta these past six months.

I don't know of many, if any, betas that were available for like a year, took money, and then one day just said "beta's over! we're going offline now, see you in a year for the full release!"

Just taking the game down for like a year is loving weird, especially since it's been taking money.

That's crazy. I mean there's plenty of those "early access" games that aren't technically out yet, but they eventually just turn into real games, they don't go offline for 9+ months. It's either going out behind the woodshed, comes back as something completely different and nobody plays it, or comes back as the same game and nobody plays it

I'm opting for option 3:
it never comes back
