Paladins (oh no) datamining reveals config files for the Switch

[Silky]

Yeah so this has happened before with the PS4 version. Config files found in the newest beta version means some shit might happen I guess

This game is gonna get huge off of this and that sours my grapes something fierce

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Why is that an oh no?

 

[Deleted member 6730]

English!

 

[Dovah]

Great things are coming.

 

[Tregard]

Hey, if it puts a fire under Blizzard to port OW to Switch, I'm all for it

 

[RobotVM]

good idea on the developer doing what Blizzard won't.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Seems like Overwatch isnt happening anytime soon - so that would be nice on Switch for people interested in these type of games.

Maybe its a January Direct announcement ?

Care to elaborate? You post this as though this coming to pass will be a travesty shared by all. Why is this a bad thing?

If Battlefront 2 monetization grinded people's gears then HOOOO BOI when people see Paladins

Also Hi-Rez is bad

 

[Nirolak]

I'm sorry to break it to you, but Paladins is already very popular.

Lets hope cross play happens as well.

 

[Phamit]

Hi-Rez does, what Blizzardon't?

Probably because Paladins rips off Overwatch in a lot of ways, whether it's intentional or not.

Paladins is free tho

Also, for $15 I unlocked every single character.

Yeah I know

Just

It really sours me that it is

Paladins is free tho

Click to shrink...

It's perfectly possible to be a free game and have garbage ass monetization techniques

Isn't Paladins free though

 

[Diarrhea Day-Lewis]

Holy shit if it comes to Switch it could be huge considering the lack of Competition.

I'll try it if so

This will never not be funny considering Blizzards past.

Yeah at least Xbox/Switch(PC would be cool.

Does it support cross play between PC and console versions already ?

They both rip off from others.

I never said that. I never implied that. Go away.

No but I hope this spurs them to implement it in the game.

It's the best Overwatch clone. And there's no reason why it shouldn't run well enough on the Switch with its graphic style.

 

[Oregano]

That would be a pretty shrewd move by the Paladins pubs/Devs.

 

[Deleted member 2620]

Paladins is UE3, apparently. It wouldn't shock me if they just updated to a newer version of UE3 that happened to have Switch support (Rocket League) and you see some config file crust as a result.

 

[Deleted member 1378]

Nice of them to port it but fuck Hi-Rez, I'm not gonna touch this

Playing this would be complacency in the murder of Tribes for me

 

[kIdMuScLe]

I don't know what is going on? Op makes no sense

 

[MrValtor]

I never said that. I never implied that. Go away.

Click to shrink...

I just assumed that's what it was because you didn't explain your stance in any way beforehand, don't blame me for trying to come up with a reason why you would be so salty.

 

[Cinemikel]

So that would possibly bring it to two big free to play games

Paladins & Arena of Valor I think it's called?

 

[KhandoleezzaRice]

What's the reason to hate Hi-Rez? And I thought Paladins was received fairly well.

 

[Oregano]

Click to shrink...

I don't think UE3 is updated by Epic any more(someone correct me if I'm wrong), Rocket League would have been ported wholesale.

 

[Weebos]

You started this thread off on the wrong foot with that title and OP.

 

[Silky]

Click to shrink...

Stealing seasonal costume content without the consent of the original creator and, again, the really gross monetization techniques used in Paladins

 

[Jaded Alyx]

I saw Paladins and thought Paragon.

 

[SalvaPot]

Feels like the thread backfired on you, OP
I'm ok with F2P games with microtransactions, is the ones that ask for money up front that bothers me.

 

[Deleted member 7450]

Paladins is successful already.
Paladins doesn't cost +$60.

Even if/when the monetization becomes shite, you didn't pay for it.
Unninstal game, problem solved.

Click to shrink...

It's perfectly possible to criticize and be upset with techniques in game monetization EVEN WHEN THE GAME is free. This isn't rocket science. Things aren't magically negated because you dictate it to be so.

 

[nampad]

It's F2P so I would try it when it releases.

 

[roguesquirrel]

I never said that. I never implied that. Go away.

Click to shrink...

To be fair youve barely said anything.

"Can you elaborate?" "Yeah. Its bad"
wow what a nuanced take worth derailing your own thread over

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Well if it turns out it doesn't have gyro support If it's ACTUALLY in the cards for them to do a Beta on switch, I don't see the point, personally.

 

[Mobu]

Yeah I agree OP, their monetization has become horrible lately

 

[Ganado]

If Battlefront 2 monetization grinded people's gears then HOOOO BOI when people see Paladins

Click to shrink...

What did they do now?
It's a free2play game so obviously not everything is gonna be free, but I got all champs for 20 bucks and most mtx are cosmetics?
Also, I guess you have a grudge against Hi-Rez since you think its a direct copy of OW, but they play different enough, trust me.

Did something happen in recent months I missed? Back when I played it everything was just cosmetics.

While news of a Switch port might be interesting, this thread is not constructive. We encourage you or anyone else to remake the thread with a more constructive OP.
