>Tencent Games’ Arena of Valor is gearing up for release on the Nintendo Switch, making it one of the first MOBA games to arrive for Nintendo’s little hybrid console. There’s a new closed beta set to take place for those of you living in Europe.

>Details on what sort of advantages of the Switch it will maximize have not been unveiled yet, but I’m sure we’ll find out what the closed beta tests have concluded. The game has made a name to fame by being a mobile MOBA, featuring crossover characters from other properties. If they play their cards right it might even behoove them to take advantage of some Amiibos and add Nintendo-themed content to the game.

This isn't a good sign. I haven't seen so much concentrated cancer in so little a space.

And you know the retards and esportsfags will buy it. Who knows? Maybe Tencent might even use Riot and Blizzard to push it but that might be too far even for them.

This is why the switch is master race xD

They've already taken riot games' format and strategy for marketing and whatnot on jewtube

I'm out of the loop. What happened with Arena of valor and Trencent Game's?

>>14063584

>POISON TERROR

<SO MUCH DAMAGE

Kinda hilarious, actually. Chinglish can be adorable at times.

Does this really deserve a thread though? A company no one likes puts out a game no one will play on a system no one owns? Doesn't seem like there's much discussion potential.

>>14063566

Already seeing college kids playing ASSFAGGOTS on their tablets, now it's on the fucking Switch, what are the Chinks playing at, they want to expand to the Japanese market?

>>14063594

>esportsfags are going to impulse buy a console for one MOBA

u wot

>>14063620

Don't underestimate stupidity.

Why does every ASFAGGOTS need to have such a generic name? They might as well just call it NOUN of NOUN.

>>14063620

Anon, i warn you, this isn't your usual crowd, those people don't play anything but assfaggots.

>>14063638

I'd name my Killer of Kikes (KOK), which would feature famous memes from 8chan as heroes :^)

>>14063638

They're made almost exclusively by different flavors of bugmen. And how creative are they really going to get when they factory produce twenty of these games a year and release them one at a time, close it when the money slows down, release the next one, rinse, repeat.

its more like a company nobody outside of here (and even then we only know a little) really knows much about

>a system no one owns

unfortunately that's not looking to be the case as over 10 million people have bought the thing over 2 games, one of them being a pile of shit

Either way Tencent sees a market here and that alone should cause some eyebrows to be raised, usually their investments are in games and companies that have had large financial successes

>PUBG

>LoL

>any Nu-Blizz game

etc

This is unusual for them. I wish we could see how much investment went into this venture

>>14063566

>Switch sold more in it's first year than the PS2 did

>Already achieving PS2 levels of shovelware chink garbage

It's like poetry

>>14063606

Yeah, the infographic doesn't even include that they do movies now. Or the fact that they've gotten so big they've got an official Call of Duty and Monster Hunter MMO now.

>>14063613

This is true, though. As much of a parasitic copycat and soulless society they are, at the very least it looks like you can PLAY their games instead of having to pay a billion dollars in microtransactions and preorders just to get into them. It's not a lesser of two evils, it's just to spite on western kikes.

>>14063628

And yet dozens of ASSFAGGOTs have nearly if not completely died because nobody gives a shit. Look at Heroes of Newerth, Fate/Apocrypha which died in the middle of development or if you want a console ASSFAGGOT game look at how badly Guilty Gear 2 Overture failed trying to integrate 3D fighting with ASSFAGGOT shit.

>>14063664

>being this retarded

are you dense?

the chinese either OWN or have enough power in most large western vidya companies to the point where they're able to practically control them.

>>14063658

You have a point. I guess I didn't realize the Switch was actually selling that well. The PS4 still has more, right? Does it have any particularly Chinkish games like this one?

>>14063666

Did any of those games have 9 digit plus advertising budgets though, Satan?

>>14063664

Wrong. Chink games are the worst offenders of pay-2-win and progression paywalling.

>>14063664

As of 2014 Tencent owns Activision Blizzard, Riot games and Epic games. They now own even more than that.

>>14063687

So they own one major publisher?

As of now, every single big publisher able to compete with Tencent has put micro transactions in their games.

The plot deepens

>>14063661

>Switch sold more in it's first year than the PS2 did

THE PS2 HAD ABSOLUTELY NO GOOD GAMES AT RELEASE. It got all the good exclusives an year later, during 2001. What a stupid thing to say.

>>14063912

I suppose you are technically correct.

>>14063916

You simply stated that the Chinese is a favorable alternative to the western industry. I point out that there are far less microtransactions in western vidya than chink vidya and here you are trying to shift the goalposts. Your original argument had no mention or implication that it was talking about companies that could compete with Tencent. Nice try, but you're not shifting the goalposts here you fucking faggot.

>>14063917

Made no mentions of the games PS2 sold in it's first year. Just commenting on how it sold more than the PS2 it's first year and as a result the shovelware(That the PS2 got once it became known it was a big seller) is coming to Switch.

Valve? Ubisoft?

Tencent has enough money and power to buy nearly every game publisher outright if they wanted to you fucking retard

also

>when he avoids thumbnails he posts literal reddit reaction images

nice, I wonder which subreddit you found that one from

>>14063941

>Just commenting on how it sold more than the PS2 it's first year

Maybe because the Switch actually had some good games down the line during its first year unlike the PS2?

>>14063931

>Skeletons are also illegal in China.

Then why did Valve have to redesign their skeleton heroes in Dota 2 when they opened the game to China? Just for fun? I know Valve are a bunch of pussies, hence why even after winning the rights to make Dota 2, they still had to run everything they added to the game through Blizzard's legal team. RIP skeleton king

>>14063955

>skeleton king

For him specifically, there was a copyright issue with Blizzard as he was named Leoric the Skeleton King which was stepping on Blizzards toes a bit too much, they already had to rename Wind Runner to Wind Range rbecause of this too. Most of the changes made are because the Chinese copyright process for releasing games from the West can take a long time and if you fail it you have to start all over. They then zealously over censor content that most likely is perfectly acceptable for China out of the slightest fear of failing the process. However, this doesn't change the fact that plenty of game sin China do have skeletons already.

>>14063948

Right, because no US or europe companies have the same power.

You know, Google, Microsoft, Disney, Vivendi, and fuck knows how many others.

They're conglomerates and multi nationals, that's how our economic system works. The chinese are following our rules, but since they're chinese then somehow it's not fair anymore.

God what a fucking retard.

And for the record, commenting on the images posted by someone is possibly the biggest non-argument you could ever make. There's not a single other thing you could say to undermine your point as much as pointing out images. It makes you look like a total moron.

I don't think that was the problem. Blizzard was very pissed valve nabbed Dota before they could buy it themselves, when it became so successful they became even saltier.

It's just natural they'd want to fuck them over however they could think.

Blizzard was one of the first companies Icefrog went to for a standalone dota, Blizzard being retarded turned him down, and their asshurt over missing that opportunity is probably why their tos for custom maps in Starcraft 2 gives them full ownership of everything.

Also how's about a link to Tencent's most recent product list?

https://www.tencent.com/attachments_en/ProductlistofTencent2.pdf

Feel free to do the research on your own, but on my own I've already found plenty of wonderful things to put into the next infograph from here.

MOBAs are actively killing gaming. League popularized the free-to-play, games as a service model, which laid the groundwork for progressively worse microtransactions, directly leading to the lootbox shit we have today. And of course the chinks are going to get in on it. If this shit sells well and the chinks get a strong foothold in the industry, it's all fucking over.

>>14064111

u are faggot

>>14064120

Worse than that, League lead to the now popular model of "Release a skeleton of a game for $60 and then release content for it over the following years(Often paid content or content that late adopters have to go through a heavy grind to obtain even a portion of)." Because fuck releasing a complete package, right?

No.

Literally Never.

Even if they stole literally all the code for the game, fucking NO.

It's more broken than early access, and those are their FINAL RELEASE BUILDS.

And tencent is going start releasing Early Access shit soon enough

>>14064778

VMs not VNs

>>14063720

Very true. What companies trying to be the next big ASSFAGGOT dev don't realize is that it's extremely hard if not impossible to wean players from the top ones (LoL, Dota) The only way to get close is to do something very different that will interest people. SMITE got it's playerbase for being a third person view MOBA rather than top-down, that's unique. HoTS got it's by having a ton of different maps with different objectives, also unique. Now there's companies trying to be the one to have the best mobile MOBA. It's going to get ugly.

I have like 500 games of Arena of Valor on my phone. Ask me anything about AoV and the payment model the game has and i will answer it. Here are some bulletpoints

>5vs5 lol like map, 3vs3 ultra short 4-7 min matches map, 1vs1 map and a special hook wars maps where each hero have a hook as well as their own skills

>Game is way more grindy than LoL. All new heroes cost 18888 gold or 13888 gold and the maximum gold you can get each day is 1200 (expect for some bonus gold that you rarely get and is nearly nothing) it is IMPOSSIBLE to get more gold because unlike LoL AoV caps how much gold you can grind for each day

>Good music, graphics and gameplay for mobile. It is a real game and with it is quiet casual it do provide a more fast paced game that most ASSFAGGOTS and for a mobile game it plays well. Music is by Han Zimmer and sounds great

>The chinese version of AoV is the most played video game in the world https://mmos.com/news/tencents-king-glory-mobile-moba-making-435m-month

>DC heroes in the game like Batman, Superman and Joker are in the game but Batman cost 15 usd and cant be paid for with game gold. The other 2 heroes cost 18888 gold

If you wanna know anything more just ask.

>>14064947

I forgot one feature that for what i know LoL still dont have

>Ingame voice chat so you can use your voice while playing the game. For some reason LoL dont have this yet

>>14064824

The best mobile mobas are Vainglory, Iron League and Call of Champions but sadly the last one dont get updates anymore. It is an unique moba and plays very different from any other moba on the market. If you want a good mobile game and wanna see a different take on a moba give Call of Champions a try.

How do we turn the normalfags against Tencent?

>>14064990

it took this long for them to turn on fucking EA, tencent isn't gonna happen.

>>14064990

Connect them with the evil

They have partnerships and connections with EA and Time Warner that should be very meme-able

Chinese things in general have bad reputations, just use that to our advantage

>mfw nintendo revives advance wars

>as assfaggots

It's basically being done to get chinks to buy the switch

That's all

>>14063586

Not sure about Valour specifically but Tencent is basically take EA and have a chink running it with even more corruption on top of that, as well as having practically a monopoly in China they own League and 10% of Activion Blizzard

>>14063613

No Chinks do the exact same shit as the Jews just without having the Chameleon effect

>>14063583

Oh yes of course, go…guy, you can totally buy the switch now, trust me I'm an anon like you, everyone should buy a switch and remember in our weekly thread of this exact same questions convince others to do as well.

Nintendo is the only game company that makes anything now good anymore.

They are the oasis of comfort and entertainment in the desert of hate and fake.

Their games are like benevolent videogame entertainment phoenixes, they are reborn every iteration, some times the phoenixes are twins! And the games are split giving you double the fun for just double the price, we did it with Zelda ™️ and we've been having Game Freak® do it for years with those pokemans you and I all love.

The new one is coming out to! Can't wait to play that on my Nintendo Switch.

But back to your subject OG, you should get the Switch, quickly too you know stocks are always running low, people are buying these things up like 10 year old hookers.

Truly a masterpiece in engineering, incredible solid design, you can drop it as many times as you like.

The controllers are revolutionary, split one apart for playing with a friend or significant other, maybe one of your waifus.

It even has anti theft protection, simply combine the controllers the incorrect way, and viola its unusable to any thief.

I love it for when my son's dad's family visits.

I'm a little upset, maybe even a little peppery, that you ask is it good now.

It was always good! An incredible library of games, you had Zelda and others! Not like you need others Zelda is open world now! It offers endless possibilities in all our favorite fantasy lands Hyrule.

Also Skyrim, dudes, imagine traveling down the subway and among your wonderfully diverse and happy passengers a cute girls sits next to you and sees you playing Skyrim, she would totally be into you and I bet she would invite you to her younger sister Batmitzvah, impress her by saying your character only eats food according hebrew dietary guidelines.

The Switch isn't only a console, a tablet, its a life improvement!

So go out there a grab a Switch OG, do it as soon as possible, take a pay day loan if you have to but get it.

It will be great.

Norks rank higher because they keep to themselves, I don't ever have to deal with a fucking Nork in my country but have to deal with fucking chinks all the time

As always: don't buy. Subvert the marketing and make normalfags hate it little by little until it is not profitable anymore.
