Paladins Veteran plays Marvel Rivals for the 1st Time

[@exetone]

The devs have confirmed all characters will be free to play and unlocked the second they're released - only monetization is skins and cosmetics

[@SocialExperiment232]

That’s literally most other games except paladins

[@coolnormalandwelladjusted]

@@SocialExperiment232 Let’s not forget OW2 locked characters behind buying a battlepass or grinding it for free to play users. They only reverted the change due to the backlash. League of legends and Apex Legends also lock characters behind a grind.

[@SocialExperiment232]

@ that was only for 2 characters. Every other character was free upon release. The ow battle pass also offers more than the apex and valorant one. And paladins for that matter.

[@edmundoandrade5113]

​@@SocialExperiment232how does that ow 🐓 taste?

[@iminumst7827]

@@SocialExperiment232 Not really, most free-to-play hero shooters require you to grind some sort of currency to unlock heroes. Valorant had the "contracts" you had to grind. Apex had legend tokens to unlock legends, Rainbow Six Siege had credits for their operators, etc. It's very rare for every hero in a free-to-play hero shooter to be unlocked the second they are released.

[@bloodangel7731]

Alot of the character costumes are based off of the marvel comics and not the mcu which I personally think is awesome

[@Kreepers]

I see. I guess Its time for me to read some comics then

[@adambirch2925]

@@Kreepers They actually went so far as to cite what comic title and issue they are from. For unique Rivals skins they cite the season (current season 0)

[@sewerpersonsimp9326]

@@Kreepers mcu sucks anyway so yeah get reading

[@enter4none]

Players of both OW and Paladins are able to see that Rivals took concepts of each game and made it their own thing. For example, play Hawkeye and you can clearly see Hanzo and Genji (to a much lesser extent), but also how much like Sha-Lin he is.

[@iminumst7827]

I played a lot of Sha-Lin, but I really don't know what you mean. He doesn't feel anything like Hawkeye.

[@BobFauci]

In Peni's defense. She was using the plug suit in Mech in the comics too, unlike the movie. Because she is based on Evangelion.

[@Hyp333R]

Yeah in quickplay u can join ongoing matches if someone's quit (just in quickplay)

[@Kreepers]

Pretty nice

[@Advent69420]

More Rivals kreepers👀

[@Kreepers]

I gotchu

[@ratiuvictor9533]

Yesterday i played for the entire night with Moon Knight, Hela, Hawkeye and Black Widow(Im only good from keeping the distance).Such a fun game. I suspect there will be a lot of buffs and nerfs in the next week but that would be expected for a brand new game

[@Amy_399]

ah yes, dr disrespect the marvel hero

[@DarthSoto78]

There are players in this game that have never played a hero shooter, but know they love the MCU.

[@Whoisthis-li2mz]

I would like to see this become a series. Where you learn the characters and their mechanics/techs and become better and better with them over time. That's something I would want to watch, but I'm not sure if most people would want to watch that. Although, it doesn't hurt to try.

[@Kreepers]

Not a bad ideia at all

[@sockomo7149]

Good to see you back in the algorithm Kreeps :)

[@floydkaius9227]

Ngl i think you're channel would benefit alot by playing this instead of paladins

[@sebastiancristaldo6868]

Until they made paladins 2 in UE5 [in 10 years] because of smite 2

[@CSY_2]

Buddy, the game just came out. What are you talking about?😭

[@dwightkelley4302]

I was thinking the exact same thing

[@letzplayosaurus]

ultimately depends on which one is more fun to them

[@tofu_golem]

Galacta is Galactus' daughter from a one-off short story. The "ice girl" is Luna Snow, who was created for a Marvel game, not the comic books. I'm pretty sure they included her because there aren't a lot of Korean characters available, and Amadeus Cho would have been a little redundant with regular Hulk. ======= The original Iron Fist is a blond guy. The character was created in the 1970s to cash in on the kung fu movie craze. Iron Fist is a title that can be passed on, and this version of Iron Fist is a Chinese guy, probably in an attempt to appeal to the Chinese market. The developer is Chinese. ======= Gwenpool is a pretty nutty character in West Coast Avengers, which in general has a much goofier tone than the regular Avengers. There was supposed to be a running gag in which Gwenpool periodically showed up with a different pet and each pet would be named Jeff. The thing is, fans instantly fell in love with Jeff the Land Shark, so he became a recurring character. Sometimes he lives with Gwenpool, and sometimes with Kate Bishop (Hawkeye). If you watched the Hawkeye TV show, you know how Kate Bishop is with pets. ======= Magik is the little sister of Colossus (X-Men). As a young child, she was kidnapped by the demon ruler of Limbo (Belasco), and basically spent her childhood there. She has a mutant power to teleport, but in Limbo, she was forced to become a powerful sorceress and dabble in demon magic just to survive. By the time she hit her teens, she conquered all of Limbo and became Sorceress Supreme of Limbo. From the perspective of the X-Men, she was kidnapped as a young child, and instantly re-appeared as a teenager with strange demonic/magical powers. ======= Yes, Namor and Aquaman are similar, but Namor was published first, so if anything, Aquaman is the knockoff. Namor never got the same goofiness stigma that Aquaman did because he's a much bigger a**hole, while Aquaman was saddled with that presentation of him in those Saturday morning cartoons. Namor is one of the first Marvel superheroes from back when they were still called Timely Comics. ====== Peni Parker is from the comics, although her comic book robot is MUCH larger. She's basically a trap-based anti-dive off-tank.

[@Kreepers]

TYSM. I will make sure to understand and learn all of this for future references :D

[@Vanhelsing371]

About the overwatch thing it is not as similiar as you think, there are some similiar abillities but that is all.

[@allesinallem7]

Yeah, i mean they are both hero shooters, but still different. Especialy in the gameplay

[@sharktos3218]

There is a mech, that's where Peni's similarities end.

[@Alex-lb1rc]

I’ve never played overwatch so I usually compare things to paladins and it’s great to see you comparing things to paladins and things I know 😂❤

[@Vanhelsing371]

The purple coins are for purchasing the battlepass items

[@tatianabreves3894]

The game just came out and not everyone played hero shooters before, you know. A lot of people is playing just for the characters and it's normal for them to play 'badly', dear veteran. I was one of them, first time I played Jeff I did the same as that person. Now I know how to play him. But what I did way better than most was read the menus with more attention.

[@evladimiryt7289]

You are definitely a veteran. I've always watched your stuff.

[@edmundoandrade5113]

I used to grind golden skins in papadin by playing against bots, and everytime i entered a real match with a gold skin people would focus me because they though i was good at the game LOL

[@Mursyabur]

I think you forgot that marvel ip can reach non-gamer audience so they might just play they play the game because they like the characters like you liking deadpool, especially at your first match 39:50

[@janno7214]

This was the most enjoyable first reaction to Marvel Rivals I've watched. You're entertaining af. I'd love to see more videos trying out other heroes

[@AjNeedsToCommentThis]

Protect this man

[@skrrrtsusman3450]

i know you just had your first match, but hearing you say so many incorrect things about the game is funny. Also, I am all for the avoid player option since i avoid the toxic players.

Buddy you need to work on your attention span but nice job anyway

[@ZeroPlaytime]

@Happy_doggo sure thing bud

[@GraphicWolf69]

Dude let me tell you... If it was a bad Idea, they never gonna put it in the first place...

[@Kreepers]

Let's hope it works like that cuz trust me... Paladins had a lot of that going around xD

[@sam-uk1hg]

No way ma dude spent 30 min yeppitty yapping before starting his first match

[@Kreepers]

u can bet on it. This was also an introduction for the new viewers and me giving first impressions on the game before getting in to a match. future videos will def not be like that

[@sam-uk1hg]

It was a bit too long for an intro in my opinion and you sounded a bit more slower then usual. i think doing fast intros will benefit you more for capturing new viewer attention as they would be more interested in how the game plays while keeping your first impression thoughts at the end of your first couple of matches. anyways good to see you back mate

[@TheSethChaos]

I agree, far too long and kept rehashing the same information over and over. it was easy enough to skip to the actual gameplay. Once I got to the actual content it was enjoyable and I plan to watch more marvel rivals content from u. Of course u can do whatever u want cause it's ur content but im sure the unnecessarily long intro turned many potential viewers and subscribers away.

[@Kreepers]

@TheSethChaos I totally understand. That's the plan. This was almost more like an intro to this future series. I plan to make easier to digest content, faster pace and more content all around. Was also away for a while so need to pick up the pace again :p

[@edmundoandrade5113]

I agree, that intro was too long, it almost made me click off the video, no offense amigo

[@iminumst7827]

I love how you were convinced that they were real people when you saw the loki clone standing still, but that clone was the only thing in that match that wasn't a real player. lmaooo

[@ClarissaBergere]

Aw Kreepers, I miss your content. I haven't been here in a few years but it was nice for you to pop up on my fyp. I'd love to see more content on rivals if you enjoyed it!

[@Kreepers]

Will do

[@McSmurfy]

Of course Paladins will stay as my go to for hero shooter, but Rivals have started to change that because Paladins don't feel as polished.

[@yabbadabbindude]

Hey Kreeps nice to see playing Rivals. I jumped ship for this game. I won't be playing OW or Paladins anymore lol

[@ShoukerX]

It was really funny seen you call people bots knowing that you didn't play versus bots, it's just that there's a lot of new people to hero shooters 😂(Also because there's literally a mode that it's just playing against bots with other people)

[@marievegrondin441]

As I said before, I was there to watch your Paladins Streams, will be there whenever i can for any game you willl stream! Keep going Kreepers - Liliblue ^.^ Cant wait to see more videos of Marvel Rivals Like this game so far

[@Vanhelsing371]

The rewards in the end are claimed automaticly

[@sharktos3218]

Plays his first game People play badly *Surprised Pikachu*

[@alfredomayes]

That impression of Overwatch players got you my Like. 😂 6:51

Bots would have computer on their names and they're on a separate game mode

[@thebigkahuna7778]

This is a good cat, I've always liked him, good to see he's doing well.

[@juanpunchman5484]

I think Marvel Rivals could be the new Paladins until Paladins 2 comes out in a decade.

[@klicky9602]

I'm acc happy w this game cuz I enjoyed Paladins more than OW and it reminds me of Paladins more. But if Paladins had an actual budget and direction.

[@emoharalampiev1590]

I tried this game the other day (by tried I mean I spent 4 hours in the shooting range testing all the champions and then did 2 training games XD). I'll probs try it with a friend, and I'm trying to keep an open mind about it, but it really seems like Overwatch, and I really dislike overwatch, I mean I tried it like in 2018 when I was balls deep in Paladins, and when I tried OW over like 3 days for every thing I was "that's nice and all but Paladins did it better". Haha that's why I clicked the vid to see your experience with the game, as another person who's done Paladins in the past. Now as I said I'm keeping an open mind I'm not gonna form my opinion based on a couple games against bots where I was completely lost, but at least the first impression on me wasn't great.

[@Grimjr7]

Now I've been playing this game for about 7 days pretty much straight. It's the only game I've been playing. And I'm realizing that I should have played some of these hero tutorials. Because I'm learning things that I didn't know.😂 I did not know you can charge your ult as Bruce banner by throwing your grenade at your feet.

[@blablabez7740]

I did transfer from paladins to marvel so i wish you did too so i can continue being your fan

[@MiGWar82]

Glad you pumped this out, if you decide to stream this you may have to change your stream to follower only people have had bot raids while streaming this

[@Kreepers]

Ty for the advice

[@ValetinoLovebird]

avoid player as teammates is so good, you wanna avoid a toxic / bad player next time

[@abyss6176]

Thats Galacta daughter of Galactus

[@mtgUK2015]

I'm currently have a lot of fun with rivals. I would love if you enjoyed it and played the game regularly. (Of course if you enjoy the game).

[@sewerpersonsimp9326]

hulk is DVA with Winston ult lol

[@Kreepers]

True 🤣

[@emzy_zy]

OMG THE LEGEND IS BACK !!

[@only-ren]

Whats cool is that apparently the devs are like super good at their game like t500 level of good compared to the ow dev team mostly being in low plat

[@ghosthunter117gaming2]

all character and upcoming one are free the only except is the skin

[@BunnyRabbit.]

It's been years I've heard you're voice. Back then I used to watch your videos moments t gets uploaded. Hope you'd change your mind.

[@cristianmarrero8935]

1st game is always a roll for some reason after 1st match you go against real people

[@seif_hosni8628]

Are u done with paladins for good ?

[@Kreepers]

Oh yh. I might go back to see how it is doing and testing some fav characters but it ain't gonna come back as my main game unless palis 2 is a thing or a miracle happens

[@ambralemon]

not really keen on the OW fans crying about copying, most OW fans have been foaming at their mouths at the thought of getting to play rivals for months now. Unless we're talking about the completely delusional fans ofc

[@demona9820]

lol i guess its a schok to someone that not everyone is proficient in these kind of games. and obviously at lunch there wil be many people that got intrested because of the Marvel name and didn't real play anything similar before

[@KindredFenrir]

It feels so refreshing. I will still occasionally play Paladins because I love it but god damn maining a healer with Cauterize in its current state is so miserable to play with.

[@yabbadabbindude]

For real. It's so refreshing being able to play healer here in rivals and not see it wasted

[@MrNoorIskandar]

That is Galacta, Galactus daughter. Read the comics :))

[@Kreepers]

Ain't nobody got time for that

[@tobiasaugustodeoliveiradia9417]

I tried it, but my pc was too old for direct 12

[@Flamexoxo]

Bro link that wallpaper engine link

[@Amy_399]

Typo in the title

[@Kreepers]

Ty! Fixed it

[@bichitomax]

I have to uninstall, it runs so poorly on my machine. Paladins is.

[@jhNUUP52]

Real people, they just bad

[@Kreepers]

I still feel bad for them. most games will put these new players as my self in bot matches first to see how they perform and give them a more fun experience in the beginning. but oh well :/

[@echobucket]

I mean they are new players who aren't very good.. they might have never even played a game like this but were drawn in because "marvel"

[@Golden_Goblin_Support_TWTCH]

Bro you can barely get a full match in quick play without bots in Paladin's anymore, and that's doing a vs AI match. Make the switch bro. You got a lot done in Paladins, more than most. But it's run its course, and I think a lot of people are looking for content in this game in particular. You don't have to give it up, and maybe you can bring a new audience to it. But this is a good chance with a fun game.

[@only-ren]

Only people that are complaining about rivals is because all the melee type characters and the fact that Last Gen Can't run it, real ow enjoyers see marvel as good for ow as ow had no competition. blizzard has been getting lazy and its clear they only care about money and they don't want to anger their investors anymore, the "events" they've been releasing such as MHA WoW Transformers BCRF Porsche that's 5 whole "events" just to sell you on overpriced skins the last actual event they had that wasn't just reusing old content was in April over half a year ago.

[@Kreepers]

I get you for sure. They never really saw paladins as competition. If the devs of palis managed to make something out of it, then ow would have had a better time since the devs of ow would be forced to move their arses ;p

[@only-ren]

@@Kreepers fr I'm glad that marvel rivals is out cuz ow reportedly had like 16k players which is crazy compared to their 20m monthly players, marvel just stole overwatch's christmas. hoping it stays this way cuz the devs keep assuming the game is good bc more people are playing ow when it's just new players and alts, the amount of cope and ignorance the dev team has and it doesn't help a lot of creators aren't overly negative with the feedback bc they're friends with the devs like awhile back when they did the Porsche event everyone was hush hush so they could get big sponsor streams and get flown out

[@23NinjaSniper]

Sorry man Overwatch has become a water down version of Paladins now. Blizzard still can’t properly balance the game.

[@Kreepers]

Sad. They had so much potential

[@maria_bers]

Please don't say that those beginners are bots. It's funny to see a person that assumes that everyone and anyone played shooters or pvps, or games in general for years of expirience. You played with the beginners, man, not all of them are good, some of them probably never played such games at all. Maybe some of them are kids even. Good for you tho that you are a Paladins Vet, you will be leveled up very quickly and the enemies team will be harder to beat after some time. And if they are a team with communication and strategies it would be even harder to beat them (in case you'll be playing solo and team up with strangers).

[@Kreepers]

I think you are misreading the situation. I didn't call them bots as in they are trash. Most games tend to put you in bot matches at the start, or training matches. And I agree that it should be like that. The first few matches should be calm and a way to introduce you to the game. What they did with this action of not putting them against bots is allowing for smurfs to have fun making the life of newbies miserable.

[@maria_bers]

@@Kreepers Yes, I agree, that at least the 1st match should be educational on top of the tutorials they provide. As far as I know, the bots there have "Computer" or "Bot" in their names. Sorry if my comment was rude, guess something got triggered inside me 😔 My inner Support hero got over me 😂 I have a friend that never played such games so they almost always get called a bot and are demotivated to continue playing.

[@your_senpai-werewolf0134]

I’m surprised you don’t like the art n the ability looks as paladins looks very ugly.

[@CSY_2]

Bros trying to hate on the game so bad😭. Like u really hate the art style🤨 I call cap

[@Kreepers]

No cap fam. But it might be cuz I wasn't used to games with this art style. Nothing stops me from adapting to it in the future

[@mtgUK2015]

Yeh, art style likes are subjective. If he doesn't like it it's fine.

[@allesinallem7]

Yeah art is subjective. I dont like it, just looks like unreal engine game 1275 imo, and paladins has its own style.

[@boomleon7224]

Wait… you haven’t realised all heroes are unlocked from the beginning?
