One of my favorite things about the game is that all the heroes are different with so many characters there's so many different ways you can play the game. So you're bound to find a couple characters that just fit your style of play I've never played a shooter that could appeal to such a wide audience. I play this game every day with my friends and we always have fun. Plus look at the guy at 10:26, remind me of the leader, like 80% of his body is his head. With a brain that big you know the game was going to be good
Rivals is a great example of what happens when you give the people what they want. They will throw money at you because they want to, not because they need to.
I'm 62 years old and I'm a comic book fan from the late 60s and early 70s and Beyond so to be able to manipulate and play characters that I've Loved for so long is incredibly fun😊😊
Regarding you mentioning that people could use the spectating feature to cheat, I believe that there is a 40 second delay when spectating, so what you see isn't actually live. I've spectated friends while sitting in voice chat with them. They make a comment about something that happened, and then 40 seconds later, I see what they were talking about. Really smart of the devs to implement that.
I couldn't sleep for two nights thinking about when game was gonna release I had high expectations for the game, that's why never lose your faith on superheroes. I'm a big super hero fan and Marvel Rivals has been a blast.
That's awesome, dude. When a game hits like this one, it's such a good feeling. Especially since it seems like you were one of the believers! You must be on cloud 9 as well, haha 😎
Imagine Marvel would make movies and series with the same mind set like the Marvel Rival devs. The MCU would still have the hype it used to have some years ago. :P
That's true, but I meant it more in the way that the Marvel Studios stopped listen to what the fans wanted and then started to say they are biggots and racists for not likeing the movies they put out.
This is the first video of yours I've ever watched my friend sent to me and I love your assessment especially when you talk about Superior Iron Man and going to look up the comic that was very cool
Dude! Thank you so much & I'm really glad that you enjoyed it!! I hope to see you & your friend back on the channel & in the comments 😄 Additionally, I'm looking forward to reading more comics. I'm a DC guy, but Marvel is iconic as well, as we all know haha.
Bro I feel the same about this game. It has successfully gotten me off playing fighting games only. Now this is the only game I play. Which is my first shooter EVER!! So I feel ya man 😂❤. Great vid btw, keep up the great work
We love to see it! Haha, welcome to the hero shooter genre! It's special for sure, dude. I'm probably going to make a video for people that may still be having trouble or those that just need some pointers on things that they should remember when playing a game like this. So many people still have no idea, but it's okay! The community will learn 😄 ALSO, THANK YOU! It's good to be back! I'll keep the content coming, lol
I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying it! What you described is honestly what Overwatch was originally like for me. It was very approachable. I think that Rivals has the same sort of feel. PLUS, there's a LOT more melee heroes, which also means that you don't have to click heads to be successful!
We have a deal! I'm loving the game, so more is on the way, but I also play other games, so stay on the lookout for that content as well 👀😆 And thank you so much for the sub!
@@WEB_78O Thank you so much for the kind words! My first video in over a year & a bit different than what I usually do, so I’m glad that people are enjoying it 🥹🙌🏾
I agree. I stopped watching the MCU mostly right after Age of Ultron & apparently that's when things started getting really good. Now, they have me wanting to watch the movies, lol. But, the comics are SO GOOD!!
This is one of those games that when I first played it I was like.. Cool... I might play it once in a while in bursts... Then everytime I played I got more hyped.. every hero I try out made me even more hyped where now it's pretty much the only game I have beejn playing these last few days with the limited time I have.. I love it!!
Exactly! Freedo of "YourOverwatch" said it best: "This is the sort of game where you want to play it MORE the longer that you play". I love it as well! Looking forward to the future of the game :)
I'm one of the few people that didn't think it was going to flop. I didn't get to play the beta or anything, but as soon as I heard that it was free, that all the characters would be available at launch and forever afterwards, I KNEW that it was going to kick ass. I didn't care about Overwatch until the day it launched because I saw gameplay of Reaper, who was my main for a little bit before I switchted to Tracer. I even covered it in some YT videos early on, like the nerf to Torbjorn, but I fell out of interest with the game pretty quickly, I'd dip back in occasionally but ultimately it just couldn't hold my attention (and I've been playing Destiny since 2014). Marvel Rivals has so much of my attention, and my 12 year old and I LOVE coming up with concepts about what characters they could do next. I think Rivals is going to go very far.
I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying it so much! When I read what you said about you & your 12 year old, it just brought a legitimate smile to my face :') I don't have my own kids yet, but being able to do that kind of stuff with them & just nerding out makes me so happy to think about 😭
"Live with honor, die with glory" I still have the Reinhart coin from Blizzcon... The rug pull Blizzard did with the Overwatch worldbuilding can't be forgotten or forgiven. It was set to be so much, it had such beautiful and important lessons to teach. From Winston being a genetically engineered gorilla who unlike his brethren decided to give humanity a chance, to Reinhart being a futuristic Don Quijote who dreamed of fighting monsters while showing us to be good to the bitter end. They betrayed us all for money! Fuck Blizzard! Fuck Overwatch. I really hope it dies and is forgotten. Now we can embark on a real adventure with heroes that mean something! I love Marvel Rivals and I'm happy to know kids will grow up learning about these heroes they can look up to and enjoy fully for the rest of their lives. It's and awesome fun game and everyone should try it at least once.
As much as I've loved Overwatch over the years, I'm in complete agreement with you here, dude. I still think the OW team wants to improve the game & grow it, but I don't see how they can ever come back from not delivering what was promised. The content drought was excused once we saw that they were working on OW2. Once we didn't get what was marketed & we were told it got scrapped, that was the last straw for me. I even played it after that, but it became less & less with longer & longer hiatuses. It just makes me sad. It's still a good game, but it's not what it should be. If you want to relive some of the glory days, one of my proudest videos is "Farewell, Overwatch" which is here on the channel. I released it the day the servers for OW1 were going down. May be worth a watch if you wanna remember what we once had 🥺
Yeah, I saw someone mention that. Makes me extremely happy to know that they even considered that. They're ahead of a LOT, it seems. And we love to see it!
I like overwatch too. The look ,feel and the lore is fantastic and creative. Then they introduced Sombra and now i hate it. I still play them both but Rivals is the new new.
Completely agree, unfortunately :( The worst part is that I think that the OW2 team truly does care, but they're hamstrung by Blizzard. With that said, Jeff & a lot of the OW1 team have blood on their hands for refusing to expand the team to meet the demands that OW2's scope required.
20 Marvel Characters I think would be super interesting to see come to Marvel Rivals. let me know your thoughts and what you think about this list. Madcap Doorman Scarecrow The Orb Doop Nimrod Dr. Voodoo(only bc I like him) Singularity(only bc I like her) Golem Daimon Hellstrom Apocalypse Gladiator Mystique( Or id prefer Raze Darkholme) Dormammu Ares Whiplash Sandman Nate Grey Mister E Mephisto Honorable mentions Arkon The Magnificent and White Tiger And lastly My personal favorite and would love to see Husk(X-Men)
Funnily enough, I only know of Mystique, Sandman, and Mephisto! I loved Spidey as a kid, but was much more into DC as I got older. I feel like I know of way more obscure DC characters than Marvel 😅
@MicDubTV lol yea even some marvel fans was unaware of some on my list as well as a lot of people arguing with me about scarecrow being DC not marvel😭 like both Bc and marvel has a counter part hero/villain for so many types of characters.
From development perspectives Overwatch doesn't have the privilege of 70 years of IP lore. It makes sense this can be "less greedy". you have to understand that an IP is huge. Overwatch is successful but it still invented its own lore and they need to be "greedy" in order to keep up with KPI metrics. If marvel rivals fails no one will ever blame the IP, character design, etc Money and effort was put into animations etc bc everyone likes Spiderman and jron man. Period. Theres no risk.
Fantastic point. Also, Marvel doesn't need this game to succeed in order to keep printing money & pleasing their audience. If anything, it's GROWING their audience. As for OW, it started as a game, so the IP's growth is mostly contingent on the game, especially since they haven't done enough to expand the world of Overwatch outside of a few comics & short stories (which are all good, but still). The cinematic shorts drew people in & then they just stopped. Major fumble from Blizzard.
I also thought Marvel Rivals would be a cheap Chinese clone to rip-off so I didnt even look into it. Now that Ive watched your video, I also play Iron-Man as a replacement for Pharah :), and because of the game Ive watched the Iron-Man movie. Iam not into the Marvel universe and most movies are cringe to me, but the new Batman movies and the first Iron-Man movie (except the first part of the movie) were pretty good, but I digress ...
I totally feel where you're coming from! Also, don't sleep on Storm! When it comes to the burst damage of Pharah/Echo, Iron-Man definitely fills that role, but when it comes to being in the air and just shooting (along with some skill shots), Storm is fun. Especially now that she got buffed! However, she plays much differently because she's like a mix of Pharah & Lucio (one of my other mains lol). Her AoE gives teammates a speed or dmg boost, but it's a sphere rather than a cylinder, so she needs to stay lower to the ground & with the team. Something to think about! 😅
Yeah, I don't like how some pages make you grab everything on that page before getting the skin, but others don't require you to do that. Makes no sense.
This is what Sony saw back in early 2024, long before the first public alpha, that made them decide to cut their losses with Concord. Imagine being a Sony executive in the hole to the tune of $200 million, with a studio full of pink-haired theater kids, and then seeing this game tested internally early in the spring. You just had some creep with face tattooes explain to you why it cost so much to put fat latinx characters in your game. You spent another 50 mill to have Amazon produce an episode in their upcoming CGI show just for it. Then you see the reports of early internal playtesting for Marvel Rivals. Seppuku would've made sense.
everyone be quiet my favorite show is on!

Regarding you mentioning that people could use the spectating feature to cheat, I believe that there is a 40 second delay when spectating, so what you see isn't actually live. I've spectated friends while sitting in voice chat with them. They make a comment about something that happened, and then 40 seconds later, I see what they were talking about. Really smart of the devs to implement that.
Oh really?? If that's the case, then they've honestly knocked it out of the park. Very, very good decision.
Yeah I saw some TH-camr spectating the tournament finale using the spectating feature, it's like 40 second delay.
Yeah it’s a Standard practice for spectator mode
Another Rival is born!

Imagine Marvel would make movies and series with the same mind set like the Marvel Rival devs.
The MCU would still have the hype it used to have some years ago. :P
There’s a difference there you can’t really adapt comics into movies perfectfully as everything always changes every 5 years in comics
That's true, but I meant it more in the way that the Marvel Studios stopped listen to what the fans wanted and then started to say they are biggots and racists for not likeing the movies they put out.
It's nice to have people who love games making games
It’s so addictive. Game hits like crack.

Awesome video. I feel the same way about the game as well. It’s the little things and details that they did not have to do that makes this game great.

Details are what make games go from being good to great Overwatch take notes
I think OW has plenty of detail, but I do agree that Rivals' level of detail & decision-making is pretty awesome tbh
No I did expect it
Same! But, I'm glad to be proven wrong, honestly.
Marvel Rivals has sold more comics in a month that the MCU in 10 years
I'd be curious to see the numbers, but there's no way that's true, right? RIGHT?! Hahaha
