Super Monday Night Combat for Beginners

I've played this game for over 200 hours and never upgraded my skills, fuck dude. I am so much better now. FUCK.

So many free to play games, and so little time.

Loved the first game.

I'm sure mechanically this game will be fine but the shift in art style is a total bummer. It looks bland and the robots and Pros don't seem to match the environment. I hope SMNC doesn't lose the awesome announcer too.

This video makes this game seem very complicated and hard to get in to which I think does it a disservice. In the original it's not that bad to figure this stuff out as you go.

Looks interesting but too mechanically dense. How much of this stuff do I actually need to memorise to play the game effectively?

not much! i played the not free-2-play one not to long ago and you can pick it up and play pretty easily. if you know how the moba genre works then you'll be good to go. the items/buy-/spawn points are good designed and easy to undestand so you'll have no problem with that. i don't know about the new maps though. it took me some time to get the hang of the old ones.

Yes I will eat some bacon.

Spunky machines? Errrr

They, and anyone else making a competitive shooter, should do more stuff like this. But how about an interactive tutorial? This kind of thing, informationally, but done in a sort of Mission Mode to teach new players these techniques firsthand? A sort of "Noob 101" mode, to get people acclimated to the game properly? Videos are fine, but playing is how you learn guys...

The first MNC had that.

I would prefer that, instead of using the silly term "MOBA", people used the proper term for the genre: "Lords Management"

I'd say that the generally accepted term used by the guys who develop these games and created the genre like the higher ups in Riot games is the 'proper' term for the genre and they've been calling them mobas

@Freshbandito: it was a joke. The idle thumbs guys started calling it Lords Management and its a way better name.

This really makes the game look a lot harder than it is. Maybe it's because I played classic MNC, but I had no trouble getting into SMNC,

@Riboflavin: Damn my inability to sense humour on the internet :<

Either way moba's a great word, just say it, Moe~bah, it's a delightfully stupid word how can anyone disapprove?
