    Intro Script ►
    Guy I can safely say Marvels Rivals isn’t an overwatch clone, it’s the real overwatch 2
    So I’m in the alpha of Marvel Rivals alpha and with 7 hours under my belt now I’m ready to put in another 8 after I’m done with this video because for those that don’t know, Marvel made a 6v6 hero shooter and this might be the best thing marvel has done since end game, I’m not kidding.
    Now I know what you’re thinking right off the bat, Brad! Isn’t this just discount overwatch? There’s no way a game like this can is could take blizzard on and actually -- uh wait what did you just do?
    Oh yea it’s got destructible enviroments. Is that spiderman..?
    yea! spiderman is like genji on crack! He actually has fluid webswinging and feel like they ripped him out of insomniac games, literally (its yuri). He’s pretty tough to learn and dies in 2 hits but man is he fun.
    What about tha-? Oh doctor strange? Yea imagine if reinhart could fly and had a portal gun and don’t even get me started on starlord, that dude is crazy.
    Man that’s pretty cool- It’s the end screen? Yea everyone gets their own play of the game at the end, it’s build into the games theater mode, also do you wanna join my faction, we’re gearing up for the tournament mode and are probably comp drops tomorrow and uh it’s 6v6…holy shit, this is more a sequel to overwatch than overwatch 2….
    Yea, thats that’s what I said.
    Please tell me more, no one hates overwatch more than us overwatch players. Of course.
    For an alpha build, Marvell Rivals is taking some pretty big swings. Made by NetEase Games who’s portfolio consists of only mobile games, I went into this alpha skeptical but as soon as the game launched, I realized I was in for a treat.
    Right off the bat, this game’s quality is crazy. When you see menu’s like this where the characters pop out, have ability demos, difficulty ratings, shown synergies, and oh yea, recommended strategies, it’s clear to me that NetEase knows their game has to be easy to get into and have depth to keep wanting to play.
    You see already this game answers a problem overwatch has. Learning curve. As someone who got into overwatch pretty late into the game I remember being completely overwhelmed by this screen. The sheer volume of characters alone was intimidating not to mention what average overwatch gameplay looks like and uh the people you can meet in there.
    Hero shooters can be incredibly unfriendly to new player to get into, but already in the alpha, NetEase is showing it’s not only looking to attract experienced players because uh, some of the characters let you abolsutely feel cracked, but also wants to be on ramp for people Overwatch and it’s 10 years character meta’s, rosters, and experience left behind.

      Hated the first Rework, even though it was more powerful and fun to play, because it was way too OP (we did warn them before they released it).

    I mean it is an OW clone and there’s nothing wrong with that, games copy each other all the time, one huge red flag for this game is that in the NDA for this alpha, you aren’t allowed to say anything bad about this game if you make a video on it, literally says you can’t say negative comments. Meaning 90% of videos on this game will just be people talking about how good it is, like this video, HUGE red flag when you can’t say ONE bad thing about a game

      No it's that overwatch legitimately is the best fps game ever created and that's why, and I dont even think that's a subjective take, no other fps and by extension no other game gives you the same experience as feeling like youre actually genji, now I haven't played this game but i know from other games that its probably gonna be true that this marvel game wont actually make you feel like spider man and rather like yoire controlling spiderman which for some people is their preferred way but if were talking about recreating the amazing feeling of existing in the world of overwatch than the pov is the single most important part to what makes overwatch, well overwatch 😂 and that's how it makes you feel like the hero and really let's you connect with your hero and it's why overwatch players get so defensive over their characters more so than any other game, because when you attack mercy, you're attacking the people who play mercy as they probably actually think they're mercy lol

    Tbh the optimism in this video is appreciative, but my biggest problem with NetEase Games is that they've always made games with good potential. However, they always try to suck the game dry or don't advertise it properly. They're making good first impressions of the game before trying to pump the play base with just microtransactions. Also, NetEase is a little sketchy with their whole creator contract because there's a literal section on what the creators can do, which includes not criticizing the game. It makes the devs seem egotistical and makes me think that this good impression is just a scheme and that they'll eventually start pumping microtransactions. I know you said it's an F2P game, and they have to make money, but there have been rumors they plan on putting newer characters behind battle passes or the fact you have to pay money for them.
    If this is NetEase's golden child, and they won't make the same mistakes with their other games and actually try to be a good competition with Overwatch, then they have a chance. Marvel has so many beloved and iconic characters they can add to the game, and it will gain traction FAST. They don't even have more iconic characters like Wolverine, Venom, Deadpool, Thor, Captain America, and the list can go on and on. The potential for events, too, can be absolutely hype; they can literally rip comic events and call it a day, introducing two or three new characters and a few good rewards, and everyone will be happy.
    The potential is limitless, but my skepticism is keeping my expectations steady.

    Overwatch "stole" from TF2 and now Marvel Rivals "stole" from Overwatch. All games do this and it is very normal. Dota was made as a mod for Warcraft 3 ("stealing") then League of Legends "stole" from Dota then Dota 2 "stole" some new mechanics from League of Legends (then HotS from both), etc. It is a wheel that never stops turning. This is why some people swear there is only a few genres even though you could come up with an unlimited amount and this is why they say new things cannot be invented just because they themselves are incapable.

    Would've been really cool if they didn't disallow anyone with a review copy to say any negative things about the game. Not saying they don't do a lot of good things too, but having a non-disparagement clause for product reviews should be illegal.
    EDIT: They've supposedly since apologized and are walking back their policy to "be less restrictive and more creator-friendly", but imho the fact they even had it in there (and enforced it) to begin with is still gross and makes me think they're only walking it back because they got called out.

    • @KindofBradAtThis
      @KindofBradAtThis  Před 23 dny +93

      I’m actually glad you’re bringing this up because 1. They aren’t review copies, it’s an alpha build and 2. They immediately withdrew the clause
      The content creator system they had wasn’t them reaching out saying “hey here’s a review copy please play our game” it was something creators had to GOTO to get info and sign up for.
      They were sent a contract, agreed, and signed.
      For an alpha build of a game, while that clause was strict, usually it’s an NDA and no one talks about the game at all.
      Clearly people are allowed to talk bad about the game. 98% alpha player are creators and didn’t have to sign shit.
      I think a company responding that quickly, acknowledging the issue, and changing policy within 2 days is refreshing and something we should be cheering on!
      Frankly I’m much more skeptical that this news broke from OW2 creators on Twitter who participated in the same system for OW2s beta

      The classic situation of the publisher being sorry they were found out... Imo if you aren't a fan of Marvel this game has 0 draw, it'll start off strong given the license appeal but I just don't see anything special here. More mechanics does not lead to a better game, currently with very few characters the game already is hard to follow as a viewer. The artstyle is also egregiously ugly...
      For the sake of Overwatch I hope it does well, but NetEase have proven time and time again that they are not be trusted, Marvel have proven time and time again they are not to be trusted. I hope to be wrong, but I don't see this not becoming an unplayable mess shortly after release.

The game play is fun, the sound and art design is really impressive and it all hints at a lot of potential depth and growth. I've never played another game by NetEase but they've put a lot of effort into this one and it shows. Yes, as a F2P game, there's going to be monetization of some sort. The good news is that the developer has said there will be no "pay to win" elements here. No characters locked behind a paywall, etc. It sounds like all in-game purchases will be for cosmetics. That's something I can get behind. Overall, the game just does the Marvel IP a lot of justice. I really, REALLY hope that this game does well and that NetEase doesn't let the greed consume them and turn it into yet another predatory disappointment.
