DOTA 2

[Taylor]

What arcade games have released without a location test? I'm not following the argument here. Especially since Japanese top players, presumably those in the location test, think it's badly balanced and the new mechanics are pointless. Surely this would have been in the feedback somewhere?

 

I hold that simplified versions of games 25 years old, aimed at people who cannot enter dragon punches correctly and need to be rewarded for losing the round, are not made for the top percentile of players.

 

MK9 was at Evo last year and that game is so competitive it evaluates player 1 first so he automatically wins all trades. UMvC3 is an anime game parody nobody would play if Wolverine wasn't in it. I can't even remember what else was at Evo... BlazBlue the straight-up watered down version of GG? Even SFxT was played at Evo and that had auto-block DLC.

Down.

 

Been looking at the tools, the tile tool seems like the best way to quickly make stuff. Then you need to "paint over" it with the really detailed style, I guess. That's my current understanding. You can see the example maps "pvp" and "pvp_tiled" for an example of the distinction.

would love to see a tower defense mod
