Marvel Rivals

Did I miss the thread on this somewhere?

I can't be the only one here that's interested in this, can I?

City of Heroes players aren't exactly a competitive lot, on average.  Competitive games are certainly not my cup of tea.

 

FWIW, I have heard good things about the game, so I hope that those who play enjoy.

First I've heard of it, and I'm guessing I'm not alone.  From a quick look at some footage on YouTube, it appears to be 3rd person, and I like that.  I can't play 1st person for long without getting ridiculously nauseous.   But then, like Lunar Ronin said about the greater CoH population, I'm not really into PvP, especially against strangers.  I did play a lot of the PvP elements of WoW back in the day, but ended after a clear demonstration of wildly unbalanced characters.  (Long story.)

Yes, it's a competitive game. I'm normally not a fan of that stuff, he'll I don't even do the PvP here.

But apparently, it's kind of like Fortnite, but with Marvel characters.

I was planning on getting it for me and my kids, as it's free to play.

 

I was just curious if someone here was playing, so I could ask some questions helping me understand things. My PTSD meds make me, slower, than I used to be, to put it nicely. I have to compare things to other things sometimes to fully comprehend them.

I've been playing it regularly since it came out and immensely enjoying it, so ask away! So far it's more comparable to Overwatch then Fortnite, as you don't build nor is it a battle royale. It's a hero shooter like Overwatch and plays like Overwatch, but with Marvel characters and abilities.

Early Overwatch at that - 6v6, no role lock. Feels great after taking a year off from hero shooters in the wake of Gundam Evolution's end of service.

Yea I've been loving it, I used to play Overwatch back when it first came out but as time went on it just turned into OverSlop so I dropped it. This has been refreshing and it's characters that I actually know and care about, along with them having abilities that match up to who they are. Sure sometimes some characters feel like mix-n-matched versions of OverSlop characters (Like Star-Lord feeling a bit like Tracer, Reaper and Soldier 76 all in one) but that's inevitable given the characters and what they can do.
