got into the beta for that shitty new real time battle royale worms game. I've been searching for a match for several minutes and I can't find any other players and I just can't imagine why. this is obviously the future of worms. there's no single player so I can't really do anything while I wait, but you can customize your worm a bit from the get-go though. how would you guys rate my worm, I worked really hard to make it as cool as possible
Got into the beta for that shitty new real time battle royale worms game...
Did you have to sign an NDA?
soulless
If you get in, can you update us?
I'm watching this shit unfold in pure horror.
I cant believe they fucking did this fuck, fuck, FUCK
oh look nothing new, the world is destroying it self and everything is normal.
wake me up when there is something worthwhile of my attention.
honestly it was more fun than I expected. it's still not good and I wouldn't pay money for it, but it's good for dicking around. the beta is deathmatch mode only, so you can respawn and shit
>you lived to see Worms try and chase zoomer fortnite money, and fail miserably
this is just like PvZ Garden Warfare 2 and 3; what's the point? the faintest promise of money is worth raping a franchise?
I've heard Garden Warfare is decent for what it's worth. It was still a horrible direction to take the series.
just play Fortnite retards not shitty clones of it
ayyy I won. honestly, this is kinda fun now that I'm figuring things out. there's some fun momentum here, since you can roll and jump to launch yourself places
There wasnt anything about a NDA in the email nor when launching the game so I dunno.
Personally it's taking years to find a match like OP said and I think that instead of having big ass maps for a big player count they should reduce the size at least by half.
you don't even need to fill the player count. I've gotten into two games now and they had like, 9 and 13 players I think, with 32 being the max. there's just no one playing a closed beta of a shitty spin off of the worms series at 2am on a thursday
sad and depressing
worms devs already ONCE had to reboot series and forget about 3d and go back 2 roots. they will have to do it AGAIN after this blunder
Yeah but what will give you that this wont be the state of the game literally 2 weeks after launch.
Armaggedon's appeal is that you can get two or three friends and you can easily get a game going since you have varying map sizes and number of worms.
Here all the maps are made for the same player count (max) and you are just only one player by yourself.
Other than that, it seems fun, just played one match and once I got hang of it I killed 8 times and got to the first place.
yeah the maps are way too fucking big. I'm sure this would be better with more players, but like you said, I don't see this game having legs
which one of you fucks is "women's rights, lol"
This looks so fucking bad. Team17 are embarrassing. Even the menus are hideous
I really fail to understand what's going on at Team17.
Worms is one of my favorite party game ever, I fondly remember the golden age of Worms Armageddon Wormnet. Why did they decided to release countless versions of the same exact game (Worms 2, Worms Armageddon, Worms World Party, Worms Reloaded, then Worms Revolution & Worms Clan Wars), without any crossplay capabilities? (btw Worms 2 was the superior version due to the crazy level of weapon customization).
The online community slowly diluted between all these titles and after a few years no one gives a fuck anymore.
I can forgive greed, but not stupidity.
nah man I don't know what you're talking about, this ui design is slick
Moving to 3D was the point when I realized that Team17 is retarded.
I can't believe I actually bought Worm Forts.
everyone *had* to move to 3D in the mid 90's / early 00's even if it wasn't making any sense or if the game designers had no idea how to deal with an extra dimension.
They are "ok", its just really like fucking fortnite.
The fact that theres a "shield" thing and its literally like fortnite pisses me off.
honestly they look like the most generic "baby's first unreal ui" shit, just a bunch of partially transparent rectangles with a darker color angled through it.
the shield shit is really fucking strong. it takes forever to chunk someone down if they have full shield. the health pack (+50 health) and the energy drink (+50 shield) also take like no time at all to use, so if you can duck out of battle for literally one second, you can come back with half your health refilled. it's fucking stupid
how the fuck hasn't there been a good Worms clone yet?
I kinda liked Ultimate Mayhem. It worked well enough, if a little slow.
because Team17 is releasing a new Worms clone every 2-3 years
I got in and I literally cannot find a game, this fucking blows

Don't be surprised when you get in trouble because one of the guys from Team17 browses here
Garden Warfare was a lot more fun than the tower defense original.
it's not a secret beta, there's no nda and you can stream it
the original maybe yeah, not 2 and 3
I enjoyed Worms 4 Mayhem
Are you sure about the "you can stream it" part? I didnt see anywhere that says that
I saw someone asked on twitter
If anyone from Team17 is reading this thread: stop making Worms games. You have a team of programmers, artists and game designers, as well as the means to publish and distribute games. Can you seriously not come up with any fucking original ideas? Just go to a game design college anywhere in the UK and poach some good students. Fucking do something good. You're the studio that made Worms Armageddon. Start living up to your legacy. Fuck's sake.
