Smite

[thejunglegod]

Ok, I checked and i did not see a SMITE thread. For all who don't know, SMITE borrows heavily from MOBA games such as DOTA and LOL. However, it is not in the isometric perspective, but instead in third person. A video from totalbiscuit:

Crownjules has been talking about it in the LoL thread. Watched the video, and I have to say it actually looks like it'd be fun for a change from typical MOBA's.

At work currently, but the 10 seconds I watched in the middle of the video has peaked my interest.

Registered at their site, hopefully I'll get a beta invite and give this a go.

Me too. That is why i thought this needed another thread dedicated to it. And yeah, the game does look like a pretty decent change from the standard MOBAs. Hopefully they can keep the balance proper and keep the community interested with the skins etc.

I have 3 keys if anyone wants one?

2 left...

By the way, after using the key you will usually receive 2 or 3 more.. so keep passing them on in here!

I also have 3 beta keys if people need one; just PM me. I think it definitely has the potential to be very good, it just needs some time for them to close the gap with DOTA and LOL.

EDIT: 0 remaining.

I'll take a beta key if someone has one still, looks like a pretty cool twist to the MOBA formula.

lol I wondered why it looked just like Tribes, it's the same studio.

Pass.

Pass.

You're passing on a game entirely because it's made by the same studio that made Tribes, and the menus are vaguely similar-looking... despite them being two totally different games?

Nah, I'm passing because it's just another "arena" game with a different camera angle. Same laning, same farming, same objectives, same mechanics by and large.

Though I don't have a great deal of confidence in Hi-rez' balancing nor in companies that churn out free to play titles in general either.

Hmm really? That's sad cos you're missing out on some real good stuff.

 

[gonvik]

Not bad at all.. in fact, I'm pretty excited to give it a try now. Would anyone happen to have an extra beta key?

 

[Skott]

Watched the review. I guess its a cool game if you are into that type of thing. Personally I'm not but wish them luck. The graphics looked to be pretty good.

Yea that Valve company is mighty suspect.

(I'll take a key)

The usage of churn being the key here, referring to companies such as Aeria Games and Nexon.

I have 5 beta keys to give away PM if you are interested!

Me, me! Pick me!:thumbsup:

 

[EDUSAN]

i played it a couple of days... it is a nice game, but i already played a MOBA game (LoL) for 2 years (and was able to drop it), i didnt have the will to start farming points to unlock the gods

but the game is kinda cool...the interface is ugly! but its beta, so no worry

 

[SP33Demon]

This game has been occupying a lot of my time. Fun stuff.

 

[badb0y]

bump anyone playing this game?

 

[Rinaun]

I'm not. It was a pretty sweet game but as with most 5v5 games its incredibly player-dependent. I could never find a full 5 people to play with and uninstalled it in august.

 

[badb0y]

If anyone wants to play please add me, badboydiablo.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

coming out of beta tomorrow. i was late to join the party on this one, but i am loving it. much more enjoyable for me than LoL or Dota 2. I didn't like tribes ascend either, so didn't have high hopes but they knocked this one out of the park IMO.
