Is Paladins worth getting back into? I quit after Furia released (I loved playing her btw) and no friends I know play it much anymore.
I like how you get all heroes permanently though (I bought the pack). It’s not much of a deal since it doesn’t effect gameplay as much as in Counterwatch but Paladins does have a lot more heroes than OW does…or at least it looked like that when I played.
no like both have voice chats, but overwatch allows you to go into a group onlly voice chat, and paladins is ALL team chat, and you also cant turn it off
look m8, im sure you as a paladins player understands it better, but anyone who played it once or twice (like me) can tell you it makes no sense.
Its not incorrect, im not talking about just blizzard im talking about overwatch, and its not blizzard who oversexulizes overwatch heros, its the weirdos who like to make art on it.
Paladins is just sexualized people everywhere, if you think thats good, then enjoy liking pixels you freak.
uh…
have you played paladins? I can get a new overwatch skin in like a week if I play everyday
Paladins takes months, and sometimes you dont even get the skin you want.
im sorry,. but if you have any cinematics for paladins, please share, I know of like 3, each are trailers,. not story related.
also no pve, even overwatch has that
I agree, blizzard being better than riot is t he best part, cause all the freaks that think otherwise get real mad when you tell them the truth xD
Hi-Rez made GA and Tribes lesser extent Smite then Paladins which expanded a game genre almost out of nothing. It’s almost a one trick for the genre and variations. They had some collab with Firefall and that was pre-OW1.
OW1 was a twist on TF2 and GA with some better esports promise early on via OWL. Hi-Rez had horrible esports support early on.
Riot was late to the party by the time they were relevant.
I will always vote for Erez and Jeff over Aaron and Jared.
Its not rage bait, I fully believe everyone of the things I said was true. again you can make this a real debate if you want and give me your thoughts, or you could just keep calling it a troll.
I actually did not know that, I thought it was the same as League of legends…
That’s my bad
Blizzard is still better than Riot, but idk about hi-rez.
the OW story works only in individual stories, when you remember that all the characters are supposed to live in the same world the story self-destructs, for example, take Mei, her short is good but it loses meaning when you realize that no one was to look for it, nor to any other of the scientists, or to look for the data from the research he is doing that was supposed to be very important (and that they supposedly discovered something very important but the subject was never talked about again), and That her best friends have their own plane and that Tracer is supposed to be an expert pilot who could go to the laboratory and return in a matter of minutes, but still no one gave her a decent burial, or recover the investigation, even though everyone has flying cars, and Mei had to walk from the laboratory and she still arrived befor Winston´s hause, so it shows that the weather was not a problem, and even so she arrived before the characters. that literally teleport.
paladins is developed by Evil Mojo Games / Hi-rez, not by Riot, Evil Mojo Games is a very small company, but they have many years of experience in this type of games, they released a similar game in 2009 called Global Agenda (which It already had all the mechanics that people said Paladins copied, in fact Paladins was actually announced in 2012 only that at that time it was called global agenda 2) so I do think it is legitimate to point out to Blizzard the things that Evil Mojo did with more experience in this type of games I already tried to do and in the end they realized that they do not work like Flashpoint, which was a mode that in Paladins (and I think it was also in GA) was called “capture only” but in the end They deleted it because it is a mode that doesn’t work, plus OW is very inspired by GA ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Swsvv-eGw0&ab_channel=CjRommerM̶r̶Z̶e̶i̶t̶t̶ ) so there is a lot that OW developers can learn from this game
Ya overwatch and paladins feel like oreos and Hydrox where the one that came later is more well known causeing people to call the first a clone lf the later one
Paladins DOES have a group chat system, ppl just dont use it. Hell I never see ANYONE chatting on there. I just assumed it was because “english? no!”
Paladins isn’ tough to understand at all. I"m terrible at new games but i figured it out pretty quickly.
LOL it doesn’t? Tracer is supposed to be a girl-lover, yet they make her wear the most skin-tight outfits ever and they seem to go out of their way to make sure men notice her. Every widow outfit is “sexy this, sexy that” Her butt is so juicy that even I notice it as a gay guy LOL. Half of the new costumes for Symmetra make her look like a streetwalker–which…it’s like…why? she’s a freakin scientist? Let’s not get started on the poolside Ashe and all the ridiculosly sexy Mercy cosmetics.
In the meantime, they gave Cassidy chicken legs, they hide ALL of Soldier’s good parts and the only skin-showing guys in the game are Torb’s outrageous cankles and Mauga lookin like someone’s “Samoan friend…” I guess there is the “Hapi” skin for Genji which i used to call his “onlyfans” skin but…that’s about it. I dont mind oversexualization as long as it’s done equally for both men and woman–which to be fair, Paladins does a good job at objectifying men and women where OW still only wants to do it for women.
Overwatch AND paladins are both “Grindy” to get skins
5 & 6 == I’ll give you that, but most of us probably dont give a crap about the “story” since it seems to not really matter. I can play Moira and group with all the “good guys” (which makes no sense)…so i mean…story???
If you’re gonna play with friends, you’re most likely just gonna use discord anyway. And even if you’re playing with randoms, the VGS system is a thing. Also it does have a group chat, its just that nobody uses it.
Translation: I have a skill issue and im too lazy and cant read anything else other than numbers do damage and heal.
I am pretty sure OW’s… cultured content, are one of, if not, the most searched thing , especially D.va. I’ve played paladins for a long time now, as of this post - 1834.2 hours, and i have never once felt “oh wow this game is so sexualized”. This is extremely subjective, and shouldnt even be used as a form of comparison.
At least the skins in paladins have unique sound/visual effects on all of its exclusive/limited skins, what does overwatch have? the only 2 that i can think of are hanzo and genji’s dragons. They can’t even be bothered to revoice the voices to match the character (young genji vs cyborg genji, young vs old reaper, etc).
Fair, but when’s the next story update? Still waiting btw. Also we could have had a better story if blizzard didnt decide to yeet the PvE out of existence, just cuz they had a skill issue.
I have no grounds, i’ve only played diablo/wow/OW from blizzard and LoL from Riot, i dont have much grounds to compare the two companies.
Also why is Riot now suddenly in this conversation?
I have gotten tones of people to try paladins who play overwatch and they like it because it has more to offer people its kinda like why i recommend games like jedis fallen order/ survivor to my souls buddies people who like overwatch will probably find soem enjoyment in paladins and vice versa its why we categories games
people recommend paladins because overwatch makes its playerbase miserable
i tried it for a while, and honestly? it’s fun for a few weeks. i like the enormous cast of characters and their designs. i like that you have some decent avenues for getting a few cosmetics free of charge and that the cash shop isn’t nearly as bad as OW2’s – especially because the skins are simply much higher quality, standardizing VFX, SFX, voice, and full-on character overhauls rather than limiting these to mythics
some of the heroes are just straight up more fun than anything you’ll find in OW, imo. bomb king, evie, ying, vora, and my personal favorite Imani. i love that the devs aren’t so obsessed over balance that they’re afraid to make non-competitive heroes with interesting kits that can still do work in the right hands.
it lacks polish and a lot of QoL features. not being able to swap characters is pretty miserable, and also gives it an entirely different feeling to overwatch - it isn’t really a “replacement” game, but if you’re looking for a first person hero shooter and OW happens to be boring you right now, i think it’s worth checking out. you’ll probably have fun with it for a while and then stop playing. time better spent than leaving games in QP over and over like so many people do here.
anyway, don’t make a competition of it on either side. there’s a weird sports team-esque attachment to live service games that is not healthy for the industry or on a personal level. give it a try if you want to experience something new
