I cant think of a single game that has CPUs that don't shoot like stormtroopers In theory a CPU could obliterate real humans I think the real advantage deadlock has, is you're shooting your actual opponent for a fraction of the match

It bugs me how he gets offended when talk about how scuffed his setup is, but like, his setup is SO scuffed. He would greatly benefit from a simple factory reset, and yet when the boys complain about it he almost seems to get personally offended i.e. the helldivers 2 incident and, more recently, the lethal company mono fiasco. I wouldnt even be mad if his PC just wasn't built for these kind of games and he was too lazy to buy another one, but his graphics card can absolutely run this game at 100+ fps if it wasn't probably running on 2012 firmware and 3 bitcoin miners.

Deadlock is definitely much more fun to watch than other MOBAs. If he could play Rumbleverse he could play Deadlock. The only consistent thing about NL is how inconsistent he is.

[@kenallsop7502]

That's interesting to hear - I'm enjoying playing it but as someone who's watched a ton of Dota 2 (and some League) I wasn't sure how this would work as a viewer experience bc you can only see one player's perspective at a time vs the top-down of a MOBA. I was already surprised how much I enjoyed playing Deadlock though, it's like Valve knows what they're doing I guess

[@davidk7439]

It's more fun to watch compared to regular MOBAs if you're not familiar with them, but it's harder to track on skill expression than stuff like DotA or LoL.

[@lorenzomariani7386]

I feel the opposite, it looks fun to play but very boring to watch compared to other MOBAs, but then again I also find CS very boring to watch while SC2 very fun to watch so I'm probably in the minority

I'm really hoping this game gets a lot better with art/graphics. The way it currently is it looks... flat and lifeless. I'm not sure how to describe it exactly. It's also a bit disappointing that all character's weapons are nearly the same. Semi-auto bullets, full auto bullets, and burst bullets.

[@luigichiaia7510]

feel like you ignore or don't know about alternative firing modes (viscous launches a goo ball instead of goo pellets with their M2.) Same with yamato, and a few others. Bebop has a laser gun too. Also, every weapon the characters have are different than other characters, but are still the same weapon group. For example, Shiv has a buckshot, that has two firing modes too, the alt fire being a full close range blast, and mo and krill has an auto shotgun, same weapon group but different results. Also to address the art style, the models are subject to change, and is already being worked on, for example, yamato is getting a new model. If you're talking about the environment, then I agree. But it is also set to low texture quality by default, and people have been having issues with their graphic drivers that will get fixed in the future. If I were you, I would focus more on the gameplay if you're interested.
