Quit World of Warcraft recently Because I couldn’t justify the subscription anymore. It’s been really hard to find a game to put time into and keep my attention. I tried OverWatch 2 but that game is hot fecal matter. Stardew Valley is fun for a little while, all my friends quit though And that’s who I played with. Team fortress is good I guess as well, gets repetitive though. And that game is old as heck…

So I’m like hey, you know what? I’ll try deadlocked, this new early access valve game. Holy crap this is actually fun! It’s like Dota or League of Legends, mixed with OverWatch. Some of the characters even mimic some of the exact mechanics of the game, for example one of the characters has an ultimate ability where you spin around in circles dealing damage to everything, like they copied it off of reaper in OverWatch. But hey, I’m not really complaining, who cares right?

Valve honestly makes some of the best games ever, every time I play one it’s a banger that gets my attention for thousands of hours and this one has been so damn fun. I’m surprised more people aren’t playing it, it’s just crazy how fun it is and how addictive it is.

    It doesn’t have skins or ranks. Nothing to hook the addicts into the LiVe SeRvIcE. Just pure fun for the sake of it.

      It’s still early access… Valve literally invented the hats economy, you’re insane if you think they aren’t going to add microtransactions to the game 🙄

        Ok and? I never said they wouldn’t. The game is clearly early access hence the lack of monetization.

        It doesn’t change anything, though. TF2 isn’t nearly as bad as Overwatch 2 or Halo Infinite. Idk, all Valve’s free games have MTX (microtransactions), but they’re not like… annoying, infuriating, etc.
