I agree with you 100%. I still don't know what's going to happen with the Overprime. I'm really curious to see if we can have bot matches on the 23rd, or if I can still play with my friend at least or if it's all totally over.
Are there any games you've played and enjoyed that are no longer being supported? I think about topics like these all the time. I hope that live service service games will ultimately be a fad, only proving successful for certain heavy hitting franchises, but until then, we'll have a lot of loss like this.
very unconventional story, i never guessed overprime would go down so soon after launch. as far as MOBAs go I really do prefer the top down clarity to attack ranges and the ease of placing attacks, but the third person perspective really does put you more in it and immerses you more! it's a shame that paragon and smite were really the big two that were keeping that torch lit, and that paragon had to go the way it did. here's hoping predecessor keeps going strong! and who knows, with the assets available for good, paragon may yet be re-re-rebirthed
It really did go down quickly! I genuinely hope nothing but success for Predecessor. My buddy who I featured in the video is playing Pred and has nothing but good things to say about it so far, but did say it's a lot different from The Overprime. And yeah, it's weird because I like RTS games or park management games with the God mode perspective, but for some reason League just never clicked with me. Smite did from day one though.
I was a huuuuuuuge fan of Paragon, and thusly saddened by its closure so soon. Although I am happy the assets got released (so rare), it helped turn EpicGames into a husk of what it once was IMO. It's a company's right to change direction or scope, but I fear that being a platform and storefront has made Epic lose its vision for game design. Paragon was going to help diversify what Mobas could be (League/DotA were not for me). To see that culled in favor of a gigantic cash-grab put a really sour taste in my mouth, and this company used to be the legendary entity of Unreal Tournament - which is now also axed. It feels like the wrong kind of legacy. I believe Paragon would've been a better pick if EG had chosen to trust in it. I am checking out Predecessor next chance I get, thanks to you.
That's why I wish for laws that ensure game preservation, requiring online games to include either bots or a peer-to-peer option.

It really is so depressing when an online game goes down, still sad over rumbleverse
Ugh, yeah Rumbleverse was a tragedy. We're seeing Multiversus try to do it as well, apparently it's coming back in May. We'll see what happens...

Paragon: The Overprime is a game like no other
It was truly a great time 🙏

Yes man.. I miss this damned game.. I can't play another game. They killed me by closing
I'm sorry it has killed your enjoyment of games lately. It really was a gem.
