Skill Up Sony pony !!!!
It looks more like paladins than overwatch. They even have the snake
Notice that if you move the “Sh” part of Ralph’s link to SkillUp, it turns it into ShillUp. Well played Ralph, well played.
Lawbreakers shouldn't be free2play. They did that right. They just released broken game in a broken game engine.
4:40 Looks like overcrowded garbage. Welcome to junkyard. SkipUp 2020.
Man I would totally jump back into Lawbreakers if they brought it back as F2P and reviwed the playerbase. That game was smooth af.
Got 100 hours into Lawbreakers. It's just not enough, i need more, please :(
Yeah that whole situation was such a shame. Lawbreakers was so satisfying and just felt great to play, one of the best games of the last years.
agreed, I love the mobility in that game, kinda remind me of Titanfall but different enough to stand on its own
Bleeding looks not bad but the combat isn't my type and it looks slow.
Just play paladins tbh,amongst lawbreakers,OW and paladins ..I honestly enjoyed paladins the most,yes it has got some issues of its own but F2P and constantly updating with a balanced meta and nice DEV team really makes it worth the time
I really enjoyed the faster pace of LB over OW plus if compared to OW, LB felt better and more satisfying on kills. Super twitchy shooty stabby mega kills was awesome. I think the playstyle of the game MADE me a better player where as I really felt under skilled at OW with a slower playstyle and idk maybe LB just allowed you to get away with more if solo poking the other team to keep them occupied. Anyway, its gone so the only real twitchy fast paced game now is like warframe but (last i played) no PVP element. So Destiny 2 pvp i guess? Although its not super fast either. /shrug
"I hope this game doesn't get Lawbreaker'd"
F
what happened
@@Agent1245_ PMd you the story don't thank me ;)
@@denizakmebob4300 well the servers are still up and I can still find other players so it seems good to me
@@denizakmebob4300 how do you pm on UA-cam
Skill Up: I hope this doesnt get Lawbreakers'ed
Narrator: It did.
The game should have implemented combos. In a brawler you have to give the player the possibility to mix things up or, else it gets stale fast.
I think that's why I was gravitating to Cass. I think she was the only character that gave you 2 forms of consistent attacks. Using her heavy attack legs and if they broke from the combo or I launched them with the last hit I chased them with the range attack. I'm actually surprised that Ninja Theory didnt try to have pause combos or heavy attack mix-ups from their previous works.
yeah there's only one melee attack button, so it's just you only hitting x over and over or just holding x for a time until you release. all the other buttons are used for your abilities, which doesn't matter since you can use the sticks to do your combos
@@LegateSprinkles I also enjoyed Cass. You could outplay people with her movement and then you could close the gap and confirm kills easily when people were low. I see potential like with how everyone had some kind of jump attack, or how buttercup could could charge after she knocks back the enemy at the end of her basic attack. However i didnt like having the parry and dodge being the same command, and 4v4s sometimes become cluster fucks where you cant always tell whats happening.
That was something battlerite could've done better. Rites didn't do enough to allow players to mix up combos on a lot of characters IMO
Except it's a moba and the moba genre has to keep things simple because DPS is a huge thing in these games. A lot of complaints derive from the fact that a lot of people dont understand what this is.
"Melee Focused" Hopefully this fills the void that Gigantic left in my heart T_T
♥️♥️♥️
You and me both buddy.
first thing i thought of. RIP that beautiful game.
I would recommend smite but hi rez loves to buff ADC crit builds by nerfing crit counters.
Came here for a reply with Gigantic in it. Thank you, super slept on
lawbreakers going for a 30 dollar/euro pricetag last minute and releasing in the same window as overwatch was the most stupid thing ever.....
Yeah but it's also available for games pass, which heaps of people have anyway.
This Bleeding Edge game reminds me more of "Battleborn" than "Lawbringers", and that one failed as well. I don't know why there are so few 3rd Person Mobas (too complicated for normies?), but there's still a market available for them and no one wants to design a game for it outside of Smite.
@@nokturnallex2160 same reason same release window with overwatch
@@dushikorsou1 Yea both of those games should've delayed.
@@nokturnallex2160 in my experience, 3rd person mobas feel really awkward to play. i feel like i have so much more control over my character in a top down moba like league than a 3rd person moba.
When you mentioned Gigantic it broke my heart. I loved that game
I really wanted to like that game but the input lag was outrageous. It was so pretty and interesting.
I started to really get into it right before it died. Made me very sad. Fun game.
same... i was in the technical test for it, and like a week before release my laptop died X.X then we i finally built a pc, the game was dead
rip
When I see gigantic in my ready to install it brings a tear to my eye
"Discount Genji"
"Totally not Jinx"
I died
I'm sorry who?
@@lefraht5268 again, who?
I appreciate the way you do your sponsorship ads - alert us to it at the start, go into detail at the end. It's a good compromise, and I find it to be a very tasteful and tactful way of doing it. Maybe a weird compliment to make - I do mean it though, I really find it commendable.
Yeah, on other channels I usually see at the start or close to it and I always skip those. I'm ok when it is in the middle or at the end, so I let the sponsorship part play even if I'm not interested, kind like a "shit payment" for the content I watched.
GhostWizard most of the time the sponsors demand to play them at the beginning of the video though
Brown tongue ,you got it he's got it the devs got it everyone loves bum tongue
@@TestTheAcid ... wat.
Zoidberg it's ok we know your secret,it's ok
It totally got lawbreaked.
Im guessing no one remembers Anarchy Reigns huh?
This looks exactly like it.
Was waiting for it on PC
Until I wasn't
It looked so amazing to me.
You can still find Anarchy Reigns players, there's an active discord with daily sessions.
True, but the gameplay pales in comparison with anarchy reigns, not even mentioning the ost it has.
This reminds me of Anarchy Reigns if anyone remember that.
meanwhile battleborn died so hard that people dont even use it as an example of games dying so hard
rip battlrborn, you were fun while it lasted
Yeah fun month and a half.
Pre ordered battleborn and I would again. That game was amazing!
To bad they fucked up the release.
no
I stopped following games as intensely as I used to, but I still love gaming and I'm still trying to keep up with the gaming industry in general. I'd say that would mean I'm paying a bit more attention than most other people. That being said, I never heard anything about this game until you just reviewed it.
The marketing isn't there. Who is this game being marketed to? I've played MOBA's nearly all my life. I have thousands of hours in Overwatch and related games. The "Hero Shooter" (for lack of a better term currently) genre is one that I love. Why haven't I heard of this game? Where is the marketing? If the game is one month away, I should be seeing a TON of it. Microsoft is backing it, they should be making a big deal about it.
If the marketing isn't improved upon, it probably will die like Lawbreakers. Especially when it isn't F2P and in a genre that's already dominated by some very legendary games with so much more presence in gaming. Regardless of how competent of a game it is.
It's been shown at multiple Xbox events. I think that's it.
The F2P would be a must AND during this review I saw that you could do upgrades to your character. You'd get them by making a currency. So, it's fair to say that you will have totally beefed up characters kicking your ass while you try to grind your way through it. That's game loop poison. Make all kits availabe off the bat maybe? Then cosmetic stuff earned? I don't know man. I made a comment about having a customized "fan section" that would cheer you on and stuff but like you said, marketing. For me NUMBER ONE design change, is characters. The second you have a character and you say, oh that's genji, people are turned off. Paladins is a game they should look to for lessons on what NOT to do. Great comment man.
Overwatch was advertised all over the internet and it comes from Blizzard so everyone payed attention from the get go, followed by a successful beta (which lured me into buying it and i personaly regret it very much btw) and the endles amounts of porn is the best indicator how good and unique the character designes are in OW, in this game not so much, i can't see it succeed mainly becaues of the entry fee and the total lack of marketing.
@@savagehungarian5467 I don't think Xbox considers this one of their main titles. They are just putting stuff out there until the new consoles.
Spoken like someone who hasn't discovered Game Pass yet. This game will never be free to play - it's an Xbox exclusive. That's simply not going to happen. The game will always be available for anybody who gets Xbox Game Pass though and as a result it will have a large player base for an extremely long time. Even if Bleeding Edge is deemed horrible at launch it will be given many months to fix whatever problems it has and once they've fixed the problems players will come back because again... it's on game pass. If Lawbreakers had released on Game Pass it would still have players today. Only minimal marketing for game pass games is ever really needed - everybody who has it always gets notified directly whenever any game is added and I can't speak for the rest of the population but the first thing I do is go check out the trailers for any newly released game pass games. The marketing for Bleeding Edge is covered by the massive Xbox Game Pass marketing push. Xbox is basically Netflix now. Netflix doesn't do massive advertising pushes for every single new title they release and neither should Xbox. It only makes sense for the big AAA titles.
What I'm hearing is that it's an amazing free to play game that's asking for a $30 entry fee
I think it's pushing game pass more than anything at this point. So $10 on Xbox or $5 on pc a month.
Also we don't know how much content is in the full game it was just a closed beta I believe there is 1 more character and more maps could be more modes as well including a ranked mode coming after launch
Wasnt that how lawbreakers started to tank? It was designed as f2p and then Randy Bitchford persuaded Cliffy to make it priced.
@@GigglingStoners That, Overwatch, and no good advertising.
Just like Lawbreakers, but just for Microsoft. Only way it won't fail would be to constantly have updates for characters, modes, etc.
Idk, I feel like Bleeding Edge is much closer to SMITE than Overwatch, especially with the dominant melee oriented combat. The weirdest thing for this game to me is I legit have no interest with the characters, their designs just totally passes me & no concrete lore about the game/characters too. At least with both Overwatch & SMITE, it has a pretty clear cut of lore & "slicker" character designs.
The characters are worse than just uninteresting. Many of them are ugly or outright revolting to look at. I understand the kind of bizarre/punk vibe they were going for, but I really cannot see this approach to be widely popular.
Shite clones are still clones of shite
@@Alesthes They were made to be rovolting and ugly.
In my experience, character attaching is a long term goal. They have to start from a well known ground so that the players feel some familiarity and actually compare with something they already know and like (rumble jynx and mario kart lucio) . Once it is done, they can differentiate themselves slowly and stead to develop their own personality.
Lol started with warcraft hero clones.
Nope that's what it and the casual of era has become.e because lack of effort and lack of experience in games as we have with Wii and ps3 kids in a fad era of retarded kids. Mixer is topped with this genre of trash along with the BR fad. Gaming wasn't so mindnumbing until casual trash like this is all that's required to entertain kids who only have as much experience as a Wii
That was the first time I liked an UA-camrs advertising. That was close and personal, great job!
I actually really liked Lawbreakers.
It had good mechanics but horrible management.
@@PepicWalrus yeah if Cliffy B ever returns to game development all contracts should have a "Shut the fuck" clause. He is games own worst enemy
Garrett Bates the gunplay was ok but the characters with 1-2 weapons and a few abilities made it another generic arena shooter spam fest in a crowded market.
@@IRMentat The characters were stunningly ugly and the SJW marketing killed any chance. However if you look at the figures many people still tried the game but gave up after a very short time, implying they didn't like the gameplay. From my math, about 99.7% of players fell into this category.

Ty friend
Just a little heads-up:
- You can change some settings to get a better control scheme, specifically for kb+m so that you don't toggle on skills to targets or such, but rather aim.
- Crowds do cheer on you if you do a good job. I've had this happen quite a few times.
I had fun with what I played and I really hope it can catch on, maybe having Microsoft and game pass on it’s side will help it out.
weirdly getting quite a bit of attention on xbox for it but pc probably wont have a big community at launch at least. Time will tell if this one makes it or lawbreaks it... that was awful Im not sorry.
Yeh I was thinking the backing of Microsoft should help it till Ralph said it's a month away. It's an arena game 1 month away and I only learned of this game today through a review and not 6 months ago through advertising oof. My gut instinct is it's dead on arrival
ihateusernamesgrrr oof yea, I know about it because I remember it’s reveal at E3 and kinda followed it a little, didn’t realize the marketing was that scant.
@@anthonytalksmovies yeh I tend to follow gaming news and new releases so maybe it's my own fault that I missed it. That said E3 was about Cyberpunk and not much else according to the gaming media and commentators to be fair
0:13 the instant someone says "I'm a little bit cocky," they're about to fail fucking spectacularly. it's like describing yourself as "the funny one."
Really enjoyed the video, you managed to address a lot of things and concerns I had. Well thought out and put together video, enjoyed it very much.
I feel like there's a decent skill ceiling. There's quite a bit you can do to outplay people in direct fights.
I've had quite a few situations where I'd be below 10% health and I was able to outplay enemies who were at 100% even in 1v2s. You can do a lot bit by timing your attacks into melee staggers and predicting enemy dodges to animation cancel and immediately follow up into another stagger without taking any damage in return.
I do think that they definitely need better ranged mechanics, but besides that I believe the mechanics work pretty well and provide a good amount of room for mastery.
But yes, the ground targetted abilities are weird to use. However when you lock on an enemy it'll center the ability immediately on them, so you can just tap the button and get a good chance to hit if they don't dodge.
I hope I get to watch you playing it, or something else you enjoy on UA-cam. I miss your massive plays.Are you streaming at all these days?
Ya man, I was trying to manage my stamina in fights so I could make the opponent use up his so I could cut down his health but still Dodge of I needed it. Luckily people haven't mastered parrying if you switch up enough
Teldo I feel the same way, there was a definitely a way to skillfully outplay people
Hey, I remember your Battlerite videos!
@@guppyitsallgood Thank you! Yeah I have been streaming the last weekend. Really enjoyed the game. I want to get back into making UA-cam content again too.
This review made me want to play Lawbreakers more than Bleeding edge 😅
Honestly loved your story about becoming a UA-camr; perfect, genuine pitch for a sponsor, very well done.
5:00 isn't the closest parallel Smite? I mean yeah it's a moba but it has more than just the standard three lane gamemode. I only ever played Arena in that game. Another one would be Paragon, the game that died for Fortnite.
I hope they consider the very clear points you make in this video. You literally hit the nail on the head with this first impression video. Thanks for the honest feedback.
there's too much visual "noise" in this game, it gives me a headache to watch.
Yeah that's why i personally see it will fail, like literally see it. Because i don't understand shit, too much visual clutter. Check League, Apex, Fortnite, Overwatch ... most of the time they're very visually clear. That's a big, big part of their success ... want a comparison ? League and Dota, the first difference peoples will see between them is just that - visual clarity.
Seb K Overwatch definitely has a ton of visual clutter but not on this level.
I think this is completely subjective to how much time you invest in a game to differentiate between the noise and the things that matter. Overwatch will seem like a mess to most all newbies but starts making sense visually and audially as you play it.
Maybe your just slow
@@SpaceCadet1 Sure there's that but the art style honestly doesn't help. I mean look at that wall ability at 12:20 , it's so unnecessary busy-looking if you compare it to Mei's wall in Overwatch. Same goes for every other ability.
Finally they make a game my girlfriend can relate to
Sammy Gadberry Your girlfriend struggles to keep players interested long term?
in a good or bad way
Your girlfriend has 12 characters from different races and backgrounds inside her?
Your girlfriend rides on a hoverboard to work?
Your girlfriend looks eerily similar to another girl she wants to emulate, but in the end she could never stack up?
reminds me of paragon a lot, rip
thanks for reminding me of that game I had completetly forgotten about
Thanks for reminding me about my grief. I hate it.
@@beetheimmortal we can grieve together brother
think about paragon every day. wish it came back
@@Chief8 I missed all the games that fortnite br killed
I actually liked Lawbreakers. Only gave up playing it when I literally couldn't find a match :(
The game certainly was made with bleeding edge technology
GG!
Boooo!
Gg
All I know is I'm never playing another f2p or mobile game for as long as I live.
Also, if nobody is making rule 34 of your characters, you're doomed.
Overwatch only stayed relevant because of the porn, blizzard knows what the hell they're doing, making every female in the game attractive. (You are weak if you don't think zaria is hot.)
@@brog5606 Say that to Warcraft 3 Reforged...
@@brog5606 Based Zarya Chad
Not gonna lie, when u said the closest game to it was Overwatch I was going to write an angry comment about "HoW COuLd yOu FoRGeT aBoUT BatTleRite aNd GiGAntiC?!" but I decided to watch the whole video before commenting. Then when you mentioned those two games and how they died I almost teared up.
Why you took the time to write it like that?
I love how when you review you don’t just say “game bad fix Pliz “ you actually say where your issues are and give valid solutions
I feel like this game needs to add Master Chief, and Markus Fenix, and... A Ferrari? to become the Microsoft Games Brawler.
Here’s a thought for a game mode.
Bounty: every player is given a target and every enemy has a target too. The object.. kill your TARGET. If you assist in killing an teammates target you BOTH get a point and the team loses a point. You gain no points for killing someone whom isn’t your target and now and then your target might have you as a target adding to the initiated combat. Every time you perish your target resets. Every time you kill a target a new one is given with a multiplier. The best way to win? Synergies you’re team fights, look to seek your targets effectively and evade engagements that land you no points and risk your kill streak multiplier.
In a shooter this is hard to implement since it’s a twitch based hit scan game but for a limited range brawler this would be AMAZING. Really hunting down to assassinate a target.. risking your own life to do so.. communicating with teammates to find out if assisting is even worth the while. And yes.. based on its structure assisted kills should be based more on proximity than damage.. killing a low health enemy disengaging from a fight should land you nothing and take nothing from them aside form a multiplier.. it’s a game of point management where just “killing” the 1st thing you see could be a liability for your team.. you’re not gaining points.. you’re making it hard for your teammates to engage their targets and should you die you’re putting yourself back or worse.. putting the team back (mind you points gonna farther than 0)
This is kinda like the original Heroes v Villains in Star Wars Battlefront 2
The only thing that killed Lawbreakers was Cliff himself
Aymen DZ that’s not true. At the end of the day no one gives a fuck about cliff. Yeah he’s annoying, but if he made a good game that’s not gonna stop people from playing it. There are a lot of factors that went into lawbreakers failure.
this is crazy, i came across Bleeding Edge on PC game pass on accident and i truely enjoyed it. i didn't think it had a large amount of people playing it
Ninja Theory are most famous for making Enslaved: Odyssey to the west, a beautiful masterpiece of story telling with characters you care about and game play that's fun and engaging with motion capture acting provided by the legend Andy Serkis as Monkey, Lindsey Shaw as Trip and Richard Ridings as Pigsy...
No sexy champions. Not a single one. It never stood a chance.
Yeah for character games you really need at least 1 stereotypical "sexy" character to attract the general audiance.
What about that chicken leg lady 😂
have you not seen the amazonian thicc healer? All jokes aside people are liking the cooler characters like the voodoo snake using a corpse to walk around, Nidhogger the axe weilding metal head, or Buttercup the chain tank. People looking for typical eye candy will be disappointed but there are plenty of unique and interesting characters.
@@Flourikum the trailer material of the game looked great because of the pretty sick looking characters. after seeing the gameplay in the video? boy, bland artstyle, boring looking characters and nothing that stands on its own
@@Exel3nce Ill be honest its one of those games that are boring to watch fun to play. I watched the gameplay and it was rather boring but playing it was fun and unique like instead of completing the basic combos you use certain characters to chain off of them like buttercups has weirdly high combo potential for a tank. The only real way it will survive is off of game pass though.
"if your team sux its game over" - yeah, this game is doomed!
Lawbreakers was amazing. Shame no one actually played it
I was loving law breakers when I could find a match
insightful and enjoyable preview! Hope the devs watch and respond, implementing changes to make the game great.
I hope developers make more single player games and less live service crap, market is saturated with these!!
ucci2013 not really they are just more popular also they already have a single player game in the world
I'm tired of battle passes
The biggest problem with Lawbreakers was the abysmal tutorial. If I hadn't watched Totalbiscut's video (rest in peace) I wouldn't have known that shooting behind you made you go faster in zero g. When I played a few matches and I explained this aspect to other players they enjoyed the game so much more.
Lawbreakers was quite fun when I played it in the couple of free time periods it had but sadly was never inclined to purchase it because I knew it was dead on its arse.
I feel Bleeding Edge would do well if it was a F2P in general but Game Pass gave you all the content. Other than that, this will get a niche following at the most as I can't see many biting the bullet. I have Game Pass for a couple of months so I may check it out but I'm not clambering to.
Man, watching this made me nostalgic for Brawl Busters! It was a free to play game from 2011 that was third person class based brawler. Brawl Busters ultimately failed, but was incredibly fun and chaotic for the two years the server were up.
It needs work,but I would say it's more similar to Paladins as just like Paladins you can build loadouts which can affect your base stats and abilities.Battlerite is also a good comparison
This really does feel like discount paladins (even tho paladins is free) I’ve played bleeding edge and the one reason it will never succeed is the auto aim and terrible damage sliders
YES!! I got that MOBA feel too!!!!! I really had a blast with the Beta. I hope they keep developing this, it's a great game to have with Game Pass and as an exclusive on console.
No one will remember this game existed a year from now. Games like this HAVE to be F2P in today's market, as much as I hate F2P.
yup
It’s on gamepass. Good enough.
@@22antricha doubt that is good enough
@@moguel1524 Gamepass is enough seeing that its an exclusive anyway. Everyone of my friends on xbox have gamepass so there is no price to stop you from trying it out. This happens a lot on gamepass. I will try a game and need someone to play with so i just hit up few friends to download it and they dont think twice because there is no charge.
Antwan R Every semi-decent game that has gone through game pass has seen a humongous growth in player numbers. From the top of my head: Black Desert, Witcher 3, FF 15, and A Plague Tale have all reached the “most played” status on Xbox after not being there for a long long time. Having that said, I still think Bleeding Edge must be free to play in order to garner a big player base. The game will definitely feel unbalanced to a lot of new players, and the fact that melee is heavily focused might lead people into thinking that their opponents only know how to spam. I just fear for the future of this game.
The lawbreakers comparison is very very well put I hope this game doesnt die Im straight up buying it for myself and atleast 1 friend
Release the adobe premiere cut
+100 for the Mega64 clip. Most underrated UA-camrs on this site
The closest parallel is NOT OVERWATCH. It is far closer to Gigantic and Paladins. As far as loadouts and pacing and objectives, mounts etc. Overwatch is missing a lot of that. Please stop comparing everything with unique characters and abilities to Overwatch. Its lazy.
Yeah I hate this comparison it's not like Overwatch or Lawbreakers. It's closer to Gigantic or SMITE than it is to Overwatch. This game also started as a MOBA and guess what MOBAs also have classes, team comps and abilities?
You're right but nobody knows about Gigantic (that died) and Paladins (that's only knowned as a "ripp off of Overwatch") so it's easier for all those viewers to reffer to Overwatch
As a point of reference, more people have played (are familiar with) Overwatch. It's a good example.
lol
It's the Dark Souls of Overwatch games... obviously.
As someone who’s soul is currently owned by League, I appreciate the references and hope I will one day escape the clutches of League as you did.
Love this review, agree with everything on this review. I dont know what crishenda or whatever that word means though. And also for the manual abilities where you have to throw it, you can lock onto a player and just press the ability button and itll go towards that player that was locked on.
I think he said crescendo... Thats a musical term for increasing or heightening the intensity
@@eriksamano443 ahhh okay gotcha, makes more sense especially when he brought up League. Thanks!
@@maurzstarz3280 no prob buddy
I will be pleased to work with you Ralph :)
Thank you (laymen gaming and skill up) for bringing attention to this game. I planned to buy this game after completing my first match because it was incredibly fun. Hopefully, Bleeding edge finds it's footing and audience.
Tbh I LOVED lawbreakers. I miss it. I hope the same fate doesnt happen to Bleeding Edge like your sayin
i LOVED it too! I really miss it and want to play it badly.
The story of lawbreakers saddens me because it was a great game ruined by one absolutely idiotic person.
The unfortunate tragedy is that person is the same one who had the shooting chops to head up such a good shooter.
Yes I played that game more than overwatch because I felt like I was rewarded for having good aim and not some cheap ass ability
who
LOL, dude basically made an enemy out of PC community too back in his Gears of War days. OF COURSE that would never help either ...
EVRYONE LISTEN
I've played they game a bunch, watched a shiz ton of videos talking about bleeding edge. N this video is litteralty the best summary of love there is. We really need to tweet this the bleeding edge team guys. especially if we want this game to suceeed. they've done such a goodjob. they just need great critiques like this and time. for anyone tht tweets this at them, thank you
Lawbreakers was one of my favorite games that just never found the Audience. should've gone free to play at launch. also Brink...Remember Brink?
It did find its audience. Its just that audience is tiny and sucks
Agreed but brink was just shit
Multiplayer hero brawler arena is a fine description
All characters are derivative, you'll always run into character archetypes time and again. Iconographic design, lore, and emotional depth will make the difference. Also, for some things, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
I like this impression; it's rather objective, you pointed out flaws and concerns but still pointed out what's good about this game.
You showed that a game can appeal and still be bad or good.
I miss lawbreakers, was actually a great game.
"Lawbreaker is a poor man's Overwatch"
Overwatch: *literally was 40 dollars at release
Hey this game just got lawbreaker’d
Loved your review man. Really. When i was playing first thing i noticed audio files, Announcer, and FUCKINNG PARRY move. Great game with a greater potential.
Skill up : overwatch is the closest to this game
Battleborn: I am joke to you
BattleWho?
I miss Lawbreakers, it was such a fun game, excellently made, great balance.
This is the Dark Souls of Beta Impressions.
The rumble sound effects killed me LOL
The first thing this game has to do to succeed is go F2P. We know that business model can be much more profitable than a P2P these days
Spoiler alert: It did get Law Breaker'd
This made me miss Gigantic so much.
EDIT: I wrote this mid-video and lo and behold you mentioned it! It really feels like everyone loved that game but somehow it just waned out of existence.
you nailed it, thats what i found flat. The sounds effect and how the skills feel, theres not enough weight to them.
6:33 *DUMMY THICC*
She got dem drum sticks.
Game pass is really letting me try out so many good games that I would otherwise just have overlooked. Looking forward to playing this one too.
Alright because of you I actually played Bleeding Edge's Game Pass beta and guess what? It's pretty good. Nidhoggr and Cass are the pro gamer strats.
"There's a parry mechanic that's way more trouble than it's worth"
Bless up, that's the truth.
The lack of marketing is real, I never heard about it.
It doesn't warrant any ,it's another fucking clone for casual muppets
@@TestTheAcid Another guy who only played overwatch and didn't try the game, I played a shit ton of games and it can remind you of some of them but there's nothing else.
Nothing else but what,? Overmatched clones? Overwatch type games are shit. They're called overreach clones as for lack of better name not because overwatch is the definitive game of this genre it's just the clone which is recognised the most. Still a shit genre overall. Garbage fad along with fortunate and the rest of the brainwashing fad called Battleroyales
It's a shit game get over it. You kids think halo wars is RTS
@@TestTheAcid Yeah good, how about to let people try it, you have your opinions we have yours, now go play fortnite kido.
ok that overweight unicycle Zarya absolute sold it for me.
Why did you have to mention Gigantic, I'm sad now
Check out Project Stamina, a fan game trying to replicate its magic. It's still way in early development though.
10:50 sounds like a similar flaw to overwatch where you're tied to your team whether theyre good or bad
That one didn’t age so well
Aesthetically, it has a very appealing Splatoon-esque somewhat grungy urban feel. I say they should lean into it for their marketing to make it stand out. Make the marketing colourful and fun. I'd say this game looks like the exact type that needs a closed arena/coliseum/survival game mode too. These characters look like Mad Max-style junker gladiators and that's the impression I get from the roster.
The "in your face!" Rock music art style has had what maybe one successful game? Some art styles do the marketing for you. You make cute anime girls and you've already locked down at least passing interest from a demographic that supports some of the biggest ips of all time. You make Battleborn style art and you get Battleborn attention.
Lmao
Dumbest thing I've ever heard. Seriously an awful analogy lmao.
You dont think this metal style is popular? Ahahahaha. That battleborn failed because of the art style???? Lmfaooooo. God the people who watch these videos man. Some of the most pretensious people on the planet. You make these giant leaps based on some random comparison you pull out of your ass as proof of a "trend" there no trend there. No pattern, fuck all. You have ONE example. And battle borns art style is nothing like this for fucks sake! Nothing st all! Not even a passing resemblance!
@@ImTheMan0fSteel And the counter argument is examples of this style that have worked. Lawbreakers has the same tone and it failed. DMC. To a lesser extent Killer Instinct but yeah I would include that too.
Battleborn would have succeeded if it had amazing iconic characters. We've seen many franchises endure bad games by having good characters. Sfv has a kinds of problems. But it's one of the biggest games in it's genre because people adore the characters. What's your point?
The vibrancy and personality this game gives off makes me want to get it. Reminds me of Sunset Overdrive in a way
I was out here eating and just wishing skill up would upload a video. Nice
This game honestly sounds so awesome on paper and demos really well. However...once you start to play it you soon realize it just doesn't have that 'alright...one more game' feel. One of my biggest gripes with it is the maps don't seem to accomodate the gameplay very well. Just about all the maps are quite large and have these long sight lines which don't make sense when the game is so hyper focused on up-close combat. Most matches just seem to divulge into waiting for the enemy to approach while the others are furiously trying to find them and once the two teams lock eyes it becomes the video game equivalent of smashing your action figures together making 'Smash! Boom!' sounds when you were a kid.
Liking and commenting for the algorithm gods
My heart stopped when I heard, "...Battlerite, the now-retired MOBA brawler".
I loved that game! The game was really skill-based, whether you won or lost often depended on your aiming and positioning since every attack and ability is a skillshot. Every match was so intense, especially so during matches where one member of each team fight around the centre of the arena during Sudden Death, all while trying to be the one taking the big Health and Ability orb in the centre.
Sadly the player base was so tiny that waiting times were 10 minutes long :'(
Edit: Wait a sec, it's still alive! Damn it Skillup, don't play with my heart!
No longer in development, though.
Sooo…..should most games start coming out F2P now? Especially, when they're not exactly AAA big publisher games like you mentioned(AC, Doom, OW2, etc)? Because I get the feeling everyone's expecting these more smaller games, no matter how polished, to just come out F2P, then they'll eventually just die off because they're not making much money back from the development put in.
Someone correct me, please.
Not every game, but online only games with no singelplayer are often better of with going F2p. They really need the players to get the game going, or go in a downwards spiral and lose all players. No players, no buyers -> no players. If you make a singelplayer game it doesnt matter if only a few people buy it on release, but if only a few people jump on you multiplayer game your basicly done.
Also, pay to play games are just double dipping since they do the same macrotransactions as F2p games, so i see no reason to pay for such a game if theres a F2p alternative.
If you lock on while you're using gizmo, her bomb will automatically target your locked target. You can move it and adjust for some big brain plays
To be honest, the art style and character design is a massive turn off for me. The melee combat also looks incredibly convoluted.
The melee combat is not convoluted at all actually, all you do is keep pressing X for unsatisfying thuds like your holding a pool noodle and enemies can literally just dash away. Matches usually consist of everybody getting in a mosh pit type setting and pressing X and dashing when things get rough. It's just okay, not too fun, but not bad either.
@@FeiFongWang Thanks for the insight. The video kinda reflects your description. Looks very bland.
Well when you think of it, this is the studio that did the DMC everyone hated instead of the ones people actually liked. Even Hellblade a game almost entirely consisting of melee combat, didn't even have a very fun melee combat system. The reason everyone liked that game was the story, narration and an in-depth look at psychosis.
@@nokturnallex2160 dmc was disliked because it was a reboot nobody wanted. The combat was good, not DMC4 or bayonetta good, but something just below that. Impressive stuff compared to the dev's other offerings.
the melee combat is the exact opposite of convoluted, it's literally the simplest combat system i''ve ever seen in a AAA multiplayer game.
Having watched all Ninja Theories Dev Diaries for Hellblade as they were released, the game was somewhat personal for me. In a way it sucks that they were bought by Microsoft, but I'm happy they have the funding to create more projects. They earned it.
This game legits looks awesome and blooming with personality, yes theor characters do ressemble other characters from other games but that's because we don't know much about them, maybe make some lore trailer for everyone? Their past, motivations and the reason why they are beating the living shit out of everybody else? maybe a combination between TF2 and Overwatch + Place Fighting Game Here. they gotta WOOOW the audience and go "hey guys, I'm here. CHECK THIS SHIT OUT" Make your audiance awknowledge your existence
They seem generic and soulless to me.
Oh my god, if Ninja Theory wanted to make an arena brawler look and feel super-impactful so they can visually distinguish themselves from every other thing, they could have taken an animation/cinematography book from the lightning-speed insanity of the Gundam Vs. series...
