Never fancied OMD and don't like dota-clones, so the game part was meh to me... but the video is cool as always

Especially loved the throwback jokes, too bad your LotRO video was way too short... but AoC was awesome. And the start was a hommage to H1Z1's "equal rights for zombies" movement?

The good stuff ain't cheap!... and by that I mean, it's not that often I get to revisit an old joke that actually fits the game I'm talking about. Who would've guessed another game would come out with the "Unchained" subtitle? I didn't think yet ANOTHER game would be so silly...

Their biggest problem is trying to cater to fans of OMD 1 and 2 while trying to build a new audience for the moba part of the game. I just don't think they have the resources to do both properly and the game just feels a bit meh at this stage.

Also the single player of the game is pretty damn weak and hard to play at the same time. It is truly built as a team game, with the single player not being up to snuff. And I spent too much time grabbing loot and les time killing shit. But its beta, pre-release, early access, or errrr ahhhh Not Ready to Play....

It was originally not supposed to have any single player whatsoever and be 100% competitive, alas.

Which IMHO was a pretty bad idea when you consider that the game series itself was ALWAYS single player PvE. And... well, it shows.

Too bad because I love tower defense games.

Yea, OMD is superior TD game. And the MOBA train has left the station, so this is just a waste of a good series.

Played this early access since alpha. Game was fun at points, but the developers seem REALLY clueless. Can't see myself playing this over the competition tbh
