1:15 Just to expand upon this, Overprime(from what I've been told) had a working controller setup during earlier tests, but has seemingly disappeared after release . Predecessor has a working controller scheme and has recently updated what actions a controller can perform, with it now having more accessibility in the shop and a functioning VGS system.
Paragon was one of the First Moba's I ever played so to see it come back after 5 years I'm hyped. Definitely will try overprime but I think I'll end up on predecessor as it looks closer to the original paragon.
it does. ive tried both. and overprime haa so many changes, not to mention, women characters are sexualized sinced it's made by koreans
I think I’m def leaning towards Predecessor, I just don’t trust Overprimes dev team history personally. Also the Predecessor gameplay is more reminiscent of the true Paragon gameplay to me.
Avoiding the "True" statement, you are right to have concerns about Overprime's development.
I can appreciate that Inter doesn't want to dive in to unneeded drama, but fact is that NetEase is a pretty shit mobile game developer/publisher company and that really hasn't ever bode well for us in the past.
Plus they still have a boner for Blockchain and NFT game mechanics and, yeah, those.
Why wouldn't you Trust Souleve? Is an indie company Netmarble is just the publisher
@Feddora publishers can easily ruin a game based on how much control they have and I'd say they have alot based on the fact most the characters have had visual changes to make them look Asian or cute poor howitzer
I refuse to buy Predecessor because of its predatory move to only sell the game in a bundle, so you can't refund. Absolute fucking bs if the devs are gonna do bs like that I don't want to stick around to see what else they gonna do.
@@chikipichi5280 yeah 20$ Paywall vs Extremely Pro consumer FREE game. Which you can go on Paragon the Overprime and see what they did in announcements since launch. They gave away basically 17-18 champs by just logging in😌
Unlike the 20$ paywall for bare bones content
Omeda studios LOVED the original Paragon from 5 years ago. So much so that they have been working their ass off to bring it back to those of us who found it near and dear to our hearts. RGSACE was a great youtuber back in the day for the original Paragon and is now the CEO of Omeda. The passion alone these guys have and the open transparency about their monetization is commendable. Don't get me wrong though I believe Overprime is fun in its own way and I won't be uninstalling it anytime soon but I have been missing the original Paragon Moba from years back and that's what Predecessor is. Pred has finally filled THE VOID in my chest... see what I did there 😏
I would’ve kept overprime but I’ve been hearing people say the terms and privacy are practically spyware. Even taking your browser history. Hearing that solidified my choice for pred
I want to add something too. I played Overprime since their first test back in January and the next closed tests and all were free, they even said some sources wanted the EA to be P2P like Predecessor but they declined and has been free since the day one which was december 8. They fixed that issue of lack of heroes and we got 11 for free + the rotation, this isnt a way to make you pay its a way to keep you playing like every F2P does. Obviously woudl be such a bad idea do the same on Pred being pay. I played Paragon since the first closed alpha back in 2016 and as I can deny they've the esense of the original game I can't deny too the real facts of Overprime, you can say they love the game too cuz in 1 week we got a lot of fixes based in community feedback, they put a lot of effort in character and skins quality, they changed the terms and privacy since the polemic that generated and even reduce the price of skins (and you can buy somes without real money), we got the winter map like the original Paragon and they keep putting love in the game. Both games are being loved and both games deserve to be loved since have a "fresh version" of the game its always good bc people rn love more faster action games but still needing farming and strategy. As an "old original Paragon player" im happy with both projects, playing both games and wishing the best succesful development to both.
Return to the void…
Overprime is the original paragon legacy map. Pred is the newer paragon map before it’s downfall. Most people remember pred map.
I have both but thank you for doing this. Helps me figure out which one I'm going to dump time into
I got into paragon two weeks before it was taken down, can't wait for one to come to console again.
Just want to say I will Never and I mean NEVER forgive Epic for dropping Paragon like EVER
Yup still hate fortnite for it. As if they couldn't develop two games at once. They had nearly 1 million players and just said ooh fortnight kids love the Royale.
Predecessor is nearly identical to the way Paragon played so to me it’s the true follow up to the OG
You know what the biggest difference is...?
One is alive, and one is dead, ohhhhh....
Thanks for making this video, being wondering which to choose
I don't know if this is true for everyone but I found that most of my pred games are 20-30 min and my overprime games were 30-45 even with a bit of a stomp.
Yeah OP games are still longer imo
Because of the sprint and portal system
@@muramasa870 Which should make the games shortest and more dynamic, but as are bad mechanic it just create games imposible to finish
It's true cause overprime respawn time is mega short and minion is mega weak
Yep this is true
I LOVE PREDECESSOR ITS SOOOOO GOOD AND THE NEW PATCH IS GREAT
ALSO THE EARLY ACCESS PACKS ALL INCLUDE ALL 21 CURRENT HEROES AND THE NEXT 4 HEROES. HEROES IN OVERPRIME WILL COST YOU MONEY ABOUT $7 A PIECE
Or about 3 days of earned currency. If you choose not to pay for it.
Boring play without progression
@@somepl3b just wait untill you get those heroes and then you have to pay for them as well in Predecessor y'all like to fool yourself
Are you using divinity as your background soundtrack? I love it
I forgot how GORGEOUS Paragon was as a game!
Witch game is more like old Paragon ?
@@radzio7214 Have played them all, and Predecessor is more like Paragon for me.
the end of this game will start from the split of the community
both games seem fun cant wait foe then to come to console so i can test both out, do both developers have access to similar character rosters or just one of them has the old paragon characters and the other has new ones i havent checked gameplay from either yet
They both have all the assets from Paragon. They'll have the same base heroes Paragon had plus whatever original heroes they design themselves. In my opinion, even though they use the same assets the games play and feel a lot different.
@@niromanti5935 thats pretty awesome then, i was worried some characters from the original one where to be divided between both games, glad that they are in both
hi inter
After video Edit: Okay, both games seem too similar atm and unless i play both of them(i will wait for both games to be free) and judge based on that. While the release is important we will eventually get to know how each dev team manages the game which will decide in my opinion which one will be the more successful overall.
I will definitely wouldn't mind you making Overprime/Predecessor content in the future since they have potential.
Not sure about overtime but pred has a nice avtive discord with the dev team in were they usally hint at some upcoming content before it offically say it
Overprime Is free
@@sixsam154 OverPrime also has this
Just new to this game. Between these 2 games, who are the more characters? And who characters of Predecessor are not in the Overprime. And vise versa. Please give me the list. Just can't find it on google.
Overprime has more char and 3 exclusives,pred has 1 exclusiv
I'm personally having a great time with Paragon The Overprime beta on PS5, game feels really good, with a lot of build variety. Its the first moba im really interested in.
I just watched BritikHD video about this, so good to have watch this as comparison 😁 can recommend that one too, much more throughout
Overprime: action brawl
Predecessor: actual moba
Overprime will give much more gold for killing each other, and Overprime has ranked
I mean fight don't win games in Overprime, objectives does
Yeah. Thats why this kiddos dont understand. I have been playing LoL for 5 years. Finnaly. The Portals are fun. The Objectives gives you the chance to flip the game. Its more Brawl but just becausebthe most players are new to MOBA Games!
I like OP. True its not like original Paragon. But its fucking unique!
@@002inter I've played games in overprime where we would easily lose teamfights because of a team's gold gap. But just by going for buffs, guardian and that yellow deer thing (forgot :D) We can easily turn the tide n push them into their base. Overprime does have strategy to it especially with item builds too and the portalsss, it makes ganking so much easier + with the latest update that came out like 2 days ago, it became a bit more balanced and fun to navigate the map.
Both games are now available to wishlist on ps5. Any idea when we can expect to play either of them?
Overprime is in cbt on ps5 rn
I totally prefer OP over Predecessor even though I can't stand NetEase. Just feels better to me, more characters, a sprint key, jungling feels better, I like the UI better. Pred gives you free-look and and spray paint to t-bag on kills tho lol. The games rank VERY close to me, but I just slightly prefer Overprime.
I'm not a fan of farm simulators so I'm going with Overprime
So basically, Overprime will be more action-oriented, while Predecessor will be more strategic, am I right ?
Not really honestly, both games are very much action oriented
No like real action. Paragon: The overprime has way longer team fights. I'd say it's more strategic because there's more characters and variables you have to build around.
@@soloplaysgames9965 give me some examples for variables that differ from pred and league of legends. And explain to me why the TTK is long in that game like dota 2's
No.
Overprime is the asian version of Paragon. So it is more similar to these kind of games (like Black Desert Online)
Predecessor is the one that looks closer to what Paragon originally was.
@@starvosxant4348 I mean Overprime looks pretty spot on actually, as someone who spammed Paragon before it was closed it feels very similar to me.
Pred is more moba orientated and slower pace while overprime is more fast pace fun and stupid/crazy it’s not traditional at all but it’s fun and laughed
Love the paragon content!
That one Overprime test I did where assassins were OP as hell left such a bad taste in my mouth that I didn't join the last test and I have played the early access. I have seen the game is more balanced now but they also added the portals which look very not fun. Meanwhile, my only problem with Predecessor is the lack of build and roster diversity. It gets really old playing the same 3 carries with the same few builds.
I mean, you are comparing a full release vs an EA. Yeah carry diversity sucks but otherwise it is the better game with MUCH more promise
@@1337Maju Youre smoking crack if you think overprime has more promise. Predecessor has better visuals, smoother optimization, less hitching less lag, more fluid gameplay better custom made heroes and more lol, not to mention overprime collects ALL Your data including ur phone number and browsing histroy and more when using their software
@@STXT he was saying Pred had the better promise not Overprime.
@@xelphius9824 Oh yeah my bad i didnt see i just woke up
@@STXT still agree with everything you said lmao
Overprime looks faster and more fun. Paragon failed for a reason so if Predecesor is the same thing there's not a lot going for it. Also Overprime team is bigger, have more resources and better communication.
I started playing overprime, but i find it hard to understand, why would there be two separate versions of the same game? I just found out about Predecessor, i can't see how both games can co-exsist...
Paragon was created by epic games but got shut down. They refunded all purchase and made the assets available for free. So now there's 2 game companies that want to revive it adding their own twists.
Overprime is totally different from Predecessor, and totally different from Paragon. Actually Overprime is an asian developer giving a bit of its culture to the game.
I would say that I hate all the infighting between the Pred and OP communities, but I kinda enjoy the drama.
Nice i know now I understand the difference now before I did not know because of u i now i know🤯Thanks so much🙏🏾
ngl Zena alone from overprime make we want it to succeed more but if pred has wraith and phase im cool with either
??? overprime has all 3 of the ones you mentioned.
I recently just switched to PC I’m so happy Pred has controller support
Whichever one allows tanks to actually be tanky instead of going the beta Smite route is the one I'll play more
Still chasing that feeling from paragon for the ps4
Isn’t the two games just like the other for me I can see no difference I only see two different names but have the same gameplay functions
Was that Divinity Original Sin 2 soundtrack music I heard? :)
im sorry but which hero is overprimes own since im pretty sure all of them are from original paragon
Zena
Bit late here. I never even knew paragon existed until I discovered predecessor ony ps4 pro... And now I'm wonder where the heck I've been for the past few years.
What interests me more than anything is that these games aren't as popular as let's say Fortnite, with all the respect for grown adults but it's so rare to find people of my age to play with and it seems weird if I LFG with specific age-ranges. I think I'm just afraid to open up to all ages for fear of seeming too less "mature" even though I'm 22 yo. Also, it would be even harder for me to start looking for people to play with in the first place. All the friends I've made in other games left me or replaced me with someone who could afford to buy more games or season passes than me so yeah...
Wut?
Predecessor feels exactly like OG paragon.
Overprime like a lot of Korean games feels more focuses on microtransactions than the gameplay.
to much action not enough strategy, would rather play Naraka if I wanted that experience.
gates of everforge is a top down moba using the same assets as Paragon, check it out
Thanks for vid
Tell us you're a Feng Mao main without telling us you're a Feng Mao main :D
Forgot to expand on Engine, Predecessor is running in UE5 while Overprime is still running on UE4.
I like Overprime more coz it's fast paced and has few more stuff. But also is lacking in terms of controller compatibility and certain heroes need to be nerfed, mainly 3 of them: Contessa, Greystone and Iggy&Scorch. The rest to me is better.
Greystone was always strong if built right but that can be said about every character in paragon. Kwang was a 2-3v1 God.
I just really hate the clunky and overcomplicated shop. I miss the cards. They were simple and easy to switch between in-game. I don't have time to thumb through and combine items when I'm trying to win a game.
Really, now i understand game companies. The Card system was one of the main reasons Paragon failed, Nobody liked it and complained a lot asking for a simpler system, and now this comment 🤦
Who should they listen?
@@starvosxant4348 ??? I've always supported the card system. I steer clear from this type of game normally and Paragon was what got me into it. They simplified the visual and made it less clunky compared to other similar games. It was nice to finally have an option where the screen wasn't overloaded with descriptions and items. I was very vocal from the start about how much I loved it so this comment is directed at the wrong person. No one HAS to listen but I was putting my two cents in as a fan and regular player of the game.
The Predecessor team seems like they're working to prove they can make the game. Where as Netmarble have nothing to prove and way more resources when it comes to, even just, Epic Games support.
All that Predecessor needs to do is prove that it can return value on the investment by players, they don't need to innovate, just a working base game is enough to give players what they want.
Netmarble has way more to prove and way less motivating them to prove it. If anything all they want is to ride the interest generated by predecessor. Especially getting their game out first and free first. Once Predecessor either succeeds or fails it will be interesting to see what happens to Overprime
So Overprime has come further in development overall, is f2p and has a bigger playerbase (most likely due to f2p). Why should you play Predecessor over Overprime then? One of the most important things in an online game is the playerbase, right? If I look at steam right now, Predecessor is sitting at 1.3k players, while Overprime has almost 11k players.
How are the queue times in Predecessor? What does Predecessor do better other than the MOBA-aspect?
even with all of that predecessor is juts honestly a lot better in terms of actual in game things, it looks a lot better, runs more smoothly, etc. when I was playing overprime I ran into like id say about 10 different minor bugs and 1 that was more of a major bug in the 4 hours I played. I haven't come across any bugs while playing predecessor. I think predecessor is being very stupid by making the game paid early access as its gonna lose them the game race in the end with a much smaller player base but only time will tell ig
Don't be fooled, anyone saying Overprime is not a moba is just not correct. It's a moba, that's just a fact. Queue times in Pred are fairly standard, approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute. I've played both, and me personally, I don't really plan on going back to Pred. It's not a bad game, but just inferior to Overprime. Overprime is far more engaging, has many more basic features that help immersion (voice lines, music, better sound quality, weight and impact on attacks and abilities) and is much more new player friendly. I got one of my friends into it and he had never played a moba before. The Predecessor community being toxic to the point of going into Overprime and trolling games there also doesn't help. If you really want to pay $20 to play Pred right now you can, especially if you prefer it, but if not, just stick with Overprime.
i just want to let you guys know that Predecessor has upped the price of the cheapest bundle, it is now 19.99 instead of 9.99
Yeah true, it was on sale for the first 2 weeks
Omeda announced they were going to do this weeks before the game went live into Early Access. They're very open and transparent about their monetization
@@JasonMaxwellsRcHobbies facts 🙌🏼
@@JasonMaxwellsRcHobbies wtf are you even talking about, Overprime has been free to play from the start
@@JasonMaxwellsRcHobbies why bring up something old that has nothing to do with the original comment. I made that comment because the just changed the price shortly after he uploaded this video. I Just didn’t want people to be confused
Looks at Predecessor, 5€ on steam sale, leaves.
Just make base f2p and 5€ unlock all heroes pack or skins or something. Ain't no shot I'm throwing 5€ on a chance that the game might be good, not with 600 active players at least.
Overprime is about a 7 out of 10 I would say, good game for ahure, piss poor servers though
Predecessor has been fantastic. The original creator of Paragon(Steve superville)is actually an advisor to the project and it really shows. Predecessor is a great MOBA and OVerprimes is a good hero brawler
dude someone finally not ignorant and actually saying facts
I have predecessor and it plays JUST LIKE early Paragon before Epic destroyed it and abandoned it.
No morgeish on either of them 😢
Thanks.
Which is good?
None is perfect, but overall Overprime is far ahead (at the moment I write this comment)
Predecessors better da end
Yep, the community not so much that's why I stay away from it
Pred community is far to elitist...
If u want a new fresh game then overprime....if u want old paragon feel to it then predecessor easy....I've played both and I've liked predecessor more...I've played paragon back in the day and it's almost identical
Overprime no announced plans to come to console? Update your video.
The GStar event video advertised the game will be on console. And overprime was shown running on ps5 nearly a year ago. A couple weeks ago the development team showed they are using a ps4 development kit as well.
This video is poorly researched.
why the divinity music haha
I refunded my Predecessor. Shits ass but the graphics good 🤣 OG Paragon feels good.
Will be back in a month or 2 when Overprime releases on console to laugh at that part of the video
Both are in EA, one already has a full shop implemented and the other doesn't. Do what you will with that info lololol
when he change game does he really use the same characther ? like if it is so much the same game why dev dont just go together... i feel predecessor will not succed just the fact you need to pay 10$ to play vs FREE for near the exact same game...
First one to Playstation wins for me
Idk why nobody talks about the gameplay differences between these two games.
In predecessor everyone gets wards and a mid range teleport. EVERYONE. FOR FREE
In Overprime the jungle has normal minions and boss minions. The boss minions each have their own abilities. In predecessor the jungle has small minion and big minion. Only difference is size and health pool.
The verticality is predecessor is much more common. Yet somehow walls seem to be rounded and you can stand ontop of walls. You just slide off them. Corners are also super rounded with invisible walls.
In overprime where vertically is less common ive been able to stand on any surface i can get to. None of it is a rounded invisible wall.
I love Pred, but for $20...it's almost impossible to get any of my friends to join me in playing. This needs to change soon. It's a pretty big cost of entry for an unproven game.
Overprime is shit tbh but Predecessor is looking promising and i want the old feeling of Paragon back not everyone is a DPS game.
For me, it comes down to who will have the better PvE offering. I'm kind of over playing with toxic tryhards and prefer playing with AI.
That would be Predecessor. I tried both games played both and Overprime just feels like more of a hero shooter most of my games were getting stormed by other players
Ok, so coming from an outsider's perspective, these games just seem too similar to make me play both, despite some differences. From what I've heard in the comments, Predecessor is slower, Overprime is faster, and Predecessor seems to have good support from the old Paragon players, but Overprime would maybe appeal more to casual players who knows nothing of Paragon. Predecessor is taking it safe, just trying to appeal to the Paragon playerbase, while Overprime is taking a riskier path, I heard that the devs completely reworked the game (which of course introduced bugs), and also they got that "grind-to-unlock" thingy... But me? Ha, I guess I'll just play the game that will survive, because I don't expect these games to coexist in the long run, these are both some sort of Moba.
Both are inspired from the same game, so both follow these old routes, try some gameplay videos of both, check what you like more and at least try Overprime for free, cause it’s free, can’t do much wrong with that
Overprime sounds like a fun version, but 'OG Paragon' players sound like they'll be elitest within community. I would like to see both game models in one package tho. Overprime as arcade type - Predecessor for competitive mode. Haven't played either yet
My comment has been proven false, please read the replys to see the clarification from the Overprime devs.
((One difference to note is that Overprime has a data collection side, where you'll have to agree to allow them to collect your data (which can include things from hardware specs to your email and phone number) before being allowed to play online, whereas Predecessor does not. ))
As with any game, make sure to read reviews before committing to one or the other.
I'm getting tired of explaining this to people. Since the game originates from Korea and Netmarble they have to have these terms of services for Korean market. Stop spreading this totally dishonest claim made by Predecessor Fanboys and do some research first.

@@michaelpyrah2503 Thank you for acknowledging that and changing your comment I respect that.

Pred is much more balanced and actually performs like a moba, very similar to how Paragon was. Not too impressed with Overprime besides looks.
Predecessor is just way better in gameplay overall, play that one
Predecessor might be the better game ones it launches and goes f2p, but as of now, the playerbase is Predecessor sits at 1.3k while Overprime sits at almost 11k.
@@johanax9867 yeah cool but… when you only go after playerbase, your looking at the wrong mobas in general. LOL still exists, play that one then
@@owy99 Didnt say I'm only going after playerbase, but an online game without a playerbase feels kinda useless. What are you going to do? Play against bots or spam training? The all time peak for this game was 7k and averages around a couple of thousand.
@@johanax9867When you look at the percentages, overprime lost way more players since it’s out
Why not covering companies behind the projects? Netmarble is shady p2w mobile dev meanwhile omeda is die hard moba fans and paragon players themselfs that is huge aspect of game future, also overprime is not that free, there is paywall allready behind playing ranked.
Pred is Paragon... I don't know what over prime is... Yikes of a game.
I play smite for the gods theme. I have no idea what these are supposed to be thematically, i don't think they'll get far at all
Short answer: Predecessor. Overprime looks 0 like original Paragon. It looks more like a generic Asian mmo that is released every second.
Overprime game feels amazing
I have so much less fun in overprime. It feels like playing clash while predecessor feels like playing conquest
this fellow obviously like Overprime but for me looking for the original Paragon i got fooled tryin Overprime and i can tell you it s TOXIC horrible 12 years old swearing at you, bad optimization i easily do 100 fps in any game this one lags, broken items, i once had a game for 54 minutes litterally begging to end that much had enough of it but couldn t cause penalties, that white map which is the only one they got will eventually hurt your eyes after 4 games, heroes unbalanced etc not worth it will try Predeccesor see if it s really the esence of the creators of the original
Predecessor is fun and have the soul of Paragon, overprime is well.. garbage.
PARAGON: THE OVERPRIME IS SHIT!
both games are dying out fast
good lord this game needs to die already lol been re released quite a bit now and its pretty much exactly the same everytime idk how this has even happened
False, Pred does not emulate the original Paragon game. In-fact, Over Prime emulates the original game during the Legacy Paragon days with travel mode, a more open map and even had the Prime orb dunk for a brief time. The people who think Pred emulates OG Paragon are the people who started playing Paragon during it's dying phase. The game was in a downhill spiral during the Monolith era and it' is why so many people stopped playing leading up to the Devs abandoning it. Why would they mimic a game that was dying? Sadly, I feel the same fate is in the future of Predecessor.
Pred doesn't have the same map as monolith, it is a compromise between monolith and legacy with the side lanes being much more open but not having a gigantic map size, monolith during the original deck building and card system was the best and most popular paragon ever was. It was the later "reworked" card system that killed the game
@@joshuawinstead7621 Nope, the game started dying and the back lashed ensued all over the forums with people quitting the game after monolith and the Devs mission to appease the casuals who were calling for shorter match lengths. We all knew ( the original backers) the game was going to die after monolith...and it did.
3:53 what made paragon successful?
Dude paragon died a slow painful death because it became boring as hell and people just stopped playing, that is not success.
Paragon was successful, it had more than a million of users, it had way more players than smite.
Just wasn't as successful as Fortnite and Epic games decided to stop working in Paragon and move all resources to Fortnite battleroyale, but in terms of popularity it was a popular game with a enough big stable player base
@@muglokdecrepitus1301 it was great and better than smite at the beginning of its life I gave that since I was there since the early alpha play tests and almost till its dying breath, I stopped playing smite altogether when paragon was out and I already had spent thousands of hours and hundreds of dollars so I know it was good at the start and I was damn sure it was boring af at the end, in fact it became boring since the change of map from agora (later renamed legacy) to monolith, then the multiple changes in game play and itemization, fortnite was just the final nail in paragon's coffin, player base was already almost non-existent when fortnite started to get popular.
I saw and still see a lot of people on denial about that fact, paragon became boring and that's why it died, that's a fact not an opinion, it's just plain dumb to think ANY company would get rid of something "successful" just because another thing they make its way more successful.
I was a og paragon player and the game never got boring. The game really didn’t fall apart. Epic games wanted to put their focus on fortnite and wanted to shut the game down.
@@dragonkxvids I know it's hard to believe, but this isn't true lol. They canned Paragon because it would have never turned a profit like Fortnite was projected (and succeeded) to do. Been here since original Paragon too and they wouldn't have bothered with getting all the assets together, refunding predecessor, and putting the game back on its store if it wasn't ever supposed to be successful lol. They just needed more liquid to push Fortnite....
Only reason they cancelled it was to focus on fortnight which was becoming the most popular game out there. Paragon wasnt boring, it was a buisness decision
I understand the want for an important laning phase, but does anyone REALLY want to be held hostage in an infuriating game for 50+ minutes? It's the biggest turn off about DotA for 99% of people who try it. The longer games at least in DotA were up to 2.5 hours back in the day when the game was slower paced, I'm told it's changed, I'm not keen on finding out personally because of how miserable being stuck in a game for that long, it wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't the threat of having my account banned for leaving early, but come on man.
I guess find me the psychopaths who WANT longer games in MOBAs, I would love to hear what made them want something as incredibly unhinged as just under hour long matches on average since even 40 min average games like that of Predecessor/OP are considered 'long' by LoL/Smite player standards.
OMG the meat riding for pred is insane. I believe OP will 100 percent take pred. Just look at the player count steam charts. OP already has a numbers advantage and its FTP. Look at their discord as well they have a console release on the way. someone please tell me how pred is better? its literally underwhelming and the audacity for them to charge for characters that were already out? flipping assets and selling them back to you when they were free. half the Original roster is missing from pred and for what? all that funding for what? read the early access bundle it says the next 4 characters to release will be "free" and then look at what those 4 characters will be. ASSET FLIPPING! I love OP cause that's how I remember paragon, unique sprint mechanic, the map being large and the jungle being intimidating. Monolith is what killed original paragon how the hell could you go back to it?
Who would have thought that a company using the old name and launching as FTP would have more opening numbers? OP Steam Chart numbers show it losing 2/3rds of it's audience after a week lolol
@@rashido_grey It's funny cause the 24-hour peak for both games is identical now, but one isn't F2P which means when it becomes F2P it should gain a lot more players.
I never played the original paragon, so I had no preconceived notions going into both games.
Overprime was the obvious choice after about 15 hours of both.
I feel pred is trying way to hard to be like smite and it just isn't anywhere near as good.
But the real thing that did it for me was that pred has one of the WORST communities I have ever seen, I have never seen a community so hell bent on ruining everyone's fun, stalling games, being racist, and just generally being terrible people.
If that's the community paragon had back in the day it's no wonder the game failed
Ignorant asf comment, pred is nothing like smite and plays more like a 3rd person league. Some people in pred community are toxic but literally every online game is toxic, and I'd rather have that and be able to mute them than have bots in every other game like OP.
That’s all MOBAs bro, if you can’t handle the flaming, don’t play
@@Hockeyplayer10HD bro i have 1000 hours in league and 400 in smite, pred was worse than both by a long shot
@@superwheatrice9008n't no way this man said it's worse than League. Out of my experiences in Pred, playing it for around 21 hours I haven't encountered racism or trolling. I encountered someone not knowing what to do, but that's it.
My first ever game in League I got called a monkey, useless, a degenerate and to go off myself because I just started the game and in general top down mobas. SMITE has people leave if you EVER dare to pick up their lane buff, even if it's an accident or late in the game where it doesn't matter, and I have around 800 hours in that game now.
The league community loses their shit when a characters skins changes the body shape of their preferred champion. League buffing/nerfing is outta wack. I feel bad for Skarner, because not only did Skarner get nerfed, but assassin's in general got nerfed, and then jungle in general also got nerfed! Meanwhile Sett is sitting in a fucking great place right now. Let's not forget our demon boy Teemo, or the famous Yas 0-10 power spike.
While Pred doesn't do this to my knowledge and testing. The reason I actually prefer SMITE to others is not only because it's third person, but it's one of the only mobas where you can play multiple gods in a shit ton of roles, especially if you're good. Ah Muzen Can can legit enter every role.
@@storma8023 The way you talk about league makes me think you've only ever seen diamond streamers play the game. I totally believe you had a bad experience in league and a good one in pred, but for me its the other way around. could just be luck of the draw, but i've never seen so many people want their own game to die so hard as the pred community.
uhm ???make one game?
