Title: Worms Rumble
Post by: skunk3 on July 01, 2020, 07:44 PM
So it looks as though the new Worms title will be crap.

3D, realtime, battle royale. Blech.

I've been a fan of the Worms franchise since Worms back on the Game Boy.

I am now, no longer a fan of the Worms franchise.

Well the franchise has already been bigger than the "standard" 2D and 3D games, don't forget about Pinball, Blast, and Golf, technically you could consider this a spinoff just like those other games.
But the problem is that they are promoting it as a direct continuation of the series (hence the "Worms 2020" codename).

They market this as having cross-play, but they're only releasing on select consoles. I'd bet money they will release it later on the other consoles (xbox etc), without cross-play. In typical Team 17 bait 'n switch fashion.

Indeed, I love Worms Golf and Worms Pinball.

And exactly what you said in your second sentence StepS.

Battle royale games though... I'd rather drag my bare balls over a small planatoid of rusty razors, cacti, dip them in vinega while at the same time attempting to sit on the worlds biggest buttplug, then join ZaR, than play anything to do with a battle royale game  :o

*Takes the bait and bites fiercely*

You just described ZaR's requirements to join.

But seriously, ZaR is not that bad  :P

I realize i've been taking a lot of shots at ZaR recently, but hope you know I don't actually have any genuinely negative feelings towards ZaR, I think the blitzed thing was funny but now I think about it this one here feels like a cheap shot and not as witty as previous banter lol.

When I am serious, people laugh. When I am not serious, people don't laugh xD

But I did not try to be funny with that blitz thing :D

And I always thought they can't make it worse than Worms 3D/Mayhem. :D

If this is the actual successor to the strategy titles (turn based) then Worms franchise is official dead. Worms Rumble makes Diablo 3 look like a decent successor to Diablo 2. xD

I was about to be positive about this game, but then I had a second look at trailer and it's trash. Very generic, boring, and non exciting.  No wonder that Worms 2020 trailer showed a worm smashing previous tittles to bits. Worms franchise is indeed dead.

Yeah, an another not-so-good spinoff of Worms, In my opinion mixing Worms with Pinball and Golf is not the best but not too bad (...in shorter words a "Nice Idea").

In other hand Worms Blast is my favorite spinoff, cause it gives me inspiration for a fan-game called: WAR'N'GUNS BLAST! (https://www.tus-wa.com/forums/off-topic/warnguns-blast-(a-puyo-puyo-vs-2-mod)-32616/ (https://www.tus-wa.com/forums/off-topic/warnguns-blast-(a-puyo-puyo-vs-2-mod)-32616/))

But mixing Worms with Fortnite (Battle Royale) is definitely the dumbest idea ever. (Especially trolling everyone with the first trailer.)

Let's just hope Team17 will make an apologize for that.

They had a beta for Worms Revolution. A bunch of bugs made it through then.

Ppl who applied for beta testing should have gotten key to activate it on Steam. Check your e-mails. From today, you should be able to play it.

Worms Rumble is the ultimate proof Team17 care more about trends and profit than making unique games that last the test of time.

"Hey guys, let's make a Battle Royale game guys, Battle Royale is popular guys, people spend lots of money on stupid cosmetic features in Battle Royale games guys, C'MON GUYS, LET'S DO IT GUYS! LET'S IGNORANTLY MAKE KIDS MILK THE WALLETS OF PARENTS ALL OVER THE WORLD GUYS - F**KING GUYS GUYS!!!!"

I bet the matchmaking system, ranks and everything that we grew up considering great competitive features, will be rubbish or non-existant.

As usual it will lack features that people desire that seem basic and ABSOLUTELY F**KING STUPID not to include.

It will pop off for a few months, some big YouTubers will do some typical "PLEASE LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE OR I'LL DIE FROM DEPRESSION AND LONELINESS" cringy af videos where they talk too much and scream like people who believe in ghosts throughout, then it'll rapidly become less active, just like all the other Worms games after W2/WA/WWP.

Then next year the cycle will continue with some other bullsh*t Worms game advertised, so, see you all then :)

Pffft... Still "blah blah, mario is amazing, worms suck dick", eh. Well, Nintendo has reinvented the story wheel with their mascot way more than Team17 with their representatives did. All Worms games have terrible physics for any W:A tryhard, but these physics are taken gracefully by me. After all, everything they don't excel in gameplay is accomplished by their story. To be direct with ya again, you pretty much tryhard at one game and use no other. Do I really need to say anything more. They don't obey your maggot faces, they live by the laws of the VALVE Corporation, deal with it if ya dare. Do the perfection yourself if you can't be pleased by the offical men of Team17.

And Fortnite is also used in the memes o' hatred. Free, for hatred memes. Paid, - for men of the graceful physics handle (like me, for example - of course, I would repack it, but... I would not hate it just cause it is hated by you, always non-adopted to changes). Admit it, do you even know where the real direction of Team17 is? You don't know? Well, it's Hat Fortress 2 for sure!

...because that's what the business is for?

I don't like it too, but every corporation does that. The one that brought this so-called "american-(business)-way-of-life" into the game-world is definitely Valve corp. After the HL series along with the Portal 1 and 2 (I don't mention Counter-Strike and few others that were invented by the community programmers) they just started to release some trash (with their quick, buggy updates), and productions aimed for the younger users, so the kids could spend more money taken or stolen from their parents - that's the brutal business policy, that's why parents should be smarter these days, to be able to protect their kids against modern Life-traps...

Magnificent, GrO, you aren't just a n00b, a W:A tryhard, a graceless being, a maggot - you are more than that. You can actually handle the newer titles gracefully rather than scream at the company that engineers them. Most TUSers are... well... graceless losers who aren't adopting to and/or using the changes of newer Worms titles. Instead they prefer critism over reality. What a pointless existenistence most humans are. They are just wits and cries with "blah-blah, this game sux" bundled into these. I didn't wit or cry about games newer than W:A -  I have engineered them into my story builds.
...heh, roughly said, however I feel that everyone has his purpose here (even those we don't understand yet), not everyone is able to find his role in Life (when they're running circles, in a rush, between so-called career, kitchen and the toilet), or maybe there are only some people with the "Role", dunno how it's exactly yet, but even the Light needs a background, or some dirt, to become visible...

Even we're discussing here now, because some guy was shocked with another cheap game being garbage and the fact business' marketing tricks are made to fool people at the first place - the profit is just another directly proportional curve, but I know you know that already... :)

I participated in the beta for Rumble and while it's not my cup of tea, it's not a bad game. It definitely isn't Worms though; and that's why people are so pissed off by it. Rumble, at its core, is just a mindless arena action game played in 2D that will probably be entertaining for a lot of people. Some of the mechanics are very confusing at first. I won't be buying it unless it goes on sale very cheap and is shown to have an active player base.

Believe me or not: at first I was disappointed about Worms Rumble for hopping a normal Worms game with new speechs...
But then after watching some videos about customization I discover that the good new speechs are available in this particular spin-off and I going crazily happy about it.

I think I'd be enjoying Rumble a lot more if it weren't for the camera positioning. It feels like it's positioned more to show off the backdrop than it is to show the actual play area.
