Visual design looks boring and shitty. I'd make a cheeky comment about divine retribution resulting in a poor final product or something, but I don't think that it looks so spectacularly bad as to justify it. It's just a run-of-the-mill ugly game with bad animations.
Smite Preview
- Thread starter Slycne
- Start date
It appears to need alot of work, but if it truly does have a higher emphasis on player skill then your average Dota game then colour me interested, I'll give it a go on release when they fix up a number of glaring issues such as animation.

i have been playing Smite for about a month and i think she doesn't really need a nerf because she is squishy as hell. she pretty much gets insta killed by mages, the tanks can also kick her ass if they aren't stupid, and so can the other assassins but that's only if they see her coming and she isn't played right.gigastar said:Well she is an assassin class character, meaning she is supposed to go into the forests off the main paths to sneak behind enemy lines and stab those squishy mages in the back, preferably with that utterly broken ultimate.Lunar Templar said:ah, how is she other then broken though? i might want to main her if i get that game just to piss off the hindusgigastar said:
It bears mentioning, because of the third person view you cannot see someone sneaking up on you.
Other than that i think she was one of the fastest characters in the game without speed buffs and she has a absurdly high damage output, that being one of the things that makes her broken.
Keep in mind though, she is more than due for a nerf if Hi Rez ever get around to it.
i think the game is pretty well balanced and it comes down to the skill of the individual player.
seriously it's a great game
so many things, but it's fine because the game is really funace_of_something said:One of my oldest friends is a theology/ancient history professor. I'll have to show her this and listen to her rattle on with what's wrong.walrusaurus said:fair enough.ace_of_something said:
I'm sure the final product will be rife with inaccuracies that will bug me to no end lol
but she is an assassin, she is fast and has high damage output but she is squishy as hell, so as long as you see her coming you can kick her assgigastar said:Well she is an assassin class character, meaning she is supposed to go into the forests off the main paths to sneak behind enemy lines and stab those squishy mages in the back, preferably with that utterly broken ultimate.Lunar Templar said:ah, how is she other then broken though? i might want to main her if i get that game just to piss off the hindusgigastar said:

If only it was that straight forward. MOBA isn't recognized everywhere since it was a name put forward primarily by Riot Games, I guess in an attempt to start to distance League of Legends from DOTA. Action RTS is another commonly used title, further complicating the mix.EgonCom said:
Granted referring to them as DOTA games is a little inherently odd, we don't say for instance Call of Duty is a Wolfenstein or Doom game.
I've never played any games like DOTA or League of Legends but I have to admit, this looks pretty fun.
I'm pretty done with DotA-style games, so this isn't that big of a draw for me, but this video is notable for finally helping me figure out what I thought was off with this game: It's ugly as hell! (no pun intended?)
I mean, you can only do so much with character models when you spend most of your time looking at them from behind (I think GoW solved this problem by putting the camera a lot closer, but I'm not sure), but there's really no excuse for these backgrounds. DotA had to work with WarCraft III's graphic engine, and LoL kept roughly the same aesthetic, but this is a game about the freaking gods! Even Christianity manages to work some colour into its imagery, and it only has one deity. You'd think a setting as fantastical as this one would manage to be set somewhere halfway interesting, instead of this boring, browny-green temple thing that they have going right now.

They're in Atlanta, right? I remember seeing some Global agenda swag at a Robotics competition down there, buttons and such.Fappy said:
OT: I'm not interested, the third person with similar mechanics makes it seem odd. I shall wait for my verdict!
