  • Ok, so it was Garrison in orange makeup, blond hair, Trump like voice and happened to be an asshole president. There is no winking and nodding, they are shoving it right in your face. You are just being pedantic, saying it wasn’t. It was a stand in, to 100% without a doubt, represent Trump.

    They didn’t use “actual” Trump because that would require some weird plot devices to use on a constant basis when it’s easier to use an existing character who has a history of being different people. It was done this way because it was funnier. Obama and Clinton and everyone else are used so sparingly that they could be the actual people because it made sense.

    In regards to them being scared, have you seen how nutty the ultra MAGA right are? I’d be nervous portraying Trump too due to him being a giant crybaby and risk lawsuits, lawsuits that could risk my paycheck. They were never afraid of anyone else getting up in arms because everyone else knows how to take a joke, or at least knows enough not to piss off the public by going after the show. At the end of the day, they weren’t scared enough to not do it. They felt that they had run the gag long enough and decided to move on.
















  • Preface that it is an early alpha build and everything can change.

    Yes, I have played it. It is literally just a moba. It feels like they took Dota and slapped 5% of an fps to it. The matches can be way too long, and it suffers from the snowballing effect that if you don’t get a good start, it is really hard to be effective. If you are 10 mins in a match and getting outplayed, you probably arent going to enjoy the remaining 20-30 mins. If you took Dota and modded it with 1st person controls, you’d be almost there with this game.

    There is some good. The vertical elements do help, and the jungle aspects, along with destroyables, do help somewhat to make up lost ground in your build. The art design is pretty good for being alpha, and I do enjoy the map. There are lots of crisscross paths and hidden areas. There are also some map mechanics that are fresh, like 1 way viewable smoke screens.

    If you don’t like mobas, I’d almost guarantee you won’t like this. It’s not a new, genre defining experience, and it doesn’t pull enough fps features to make it different. 4/10 as it sits.
