Monday Night Combat PC launched; includes TF2 crossover, 'Juice Bot'

@Acosta02

it really isnt as obvious as it seems, it's like a DoTa/Tf2 Crossover

@troxnor

Why is it comparable to dota?

There are NPCs that help you/are against you to destroy towers in order to get to the ultimate objective?

Im really interested in the game, but I'm curious about this...

@Ashkental

That's about right, actually. Each team has a bunch of robots/creeps that march in waves towards the enemy base, just like Dota. There are towers in your base to defend against them (although in MNC you have to build them yourself) and you power your hero up over time (albeit with money, not experience).

@troxnor


That's... the joke -_-

I need to go back to the /s tags.

@Ashkental
yes you work with robots to destroy enemy defense towards and ultimately their money ball. It's basically a 3rd person DoTA =D

@Drakkenfyre

I don't think that's how irony works.

@Drakkenfyre Yeah, it's like rain on your wedding day

It's ironic that a game that was heavily criticized for copying the TF2 look and classes would have items released for it that reinforces those class ideas.

i·ron·ic

–adjective
1. containing or exemplifying irony: an ironic novel; an ironic remark.
2. ironical.
3. coincidental; unexpected: It was ironic that I was seated next to my ex-husband at the dinner.

Yes, it's ironic.

@Drakkenfyre

I love how useless those definitions are both generally and in reinforcing your point.

@MrAlex

Ironic

@MrAlex

So reading is beyond your abilities?

3. coincidental; unexpected

It certainly is unexpected.

But ok, let's look up a different definition on another site.

•Irony (from the Ancient Greek εἰρωνεία eirōneía, meaning hypocrisy, deception, or feigned ignorance) is a situation, literary technique, or rhetorical device, in which there is an incongruity, discordance, or unintended connection with truth

Ironic

•Both coincidental and contradictory in a humorous or poignant and extremely improbable way

The game was openly mocked for being a rip-off of TF2. The classes in the game have direct equals in TF2 with the exception of the Medic and one other.

The game is released for the pc, and as a bonus for buying it early, items are added which COME DIRECTLY FROM THE TF2 CLASSES THE CLASS IN MONDAY NIGHT COMBAT ARE BASED OF OFF.

Yes, that's very ironic.

The denying of this is simply to be a trendy bastard who likes to point out when things aren't ironic, even when they are, and apparantly don't know the definition of the word itself.

It's ironic the company who was mocked for making a rip-off of TF2 would implement items into the game that would reinforce this.

@Drakkenfyre

Uh, if the game is commonly compared to Team Fortress 2 then it would make perfect sense to do a TF2 crossover. That's not the opposite of what you'd expect, that IS what you'd expect. It's not like I have an ulterior motive here; I just think it's not ironic.

@Acosta02

The comparisions weren't favorable.

It would be like a Call of Duty game coming out, set in the future and looking like a rip-off of Halo. People defend it saying "It's not a Halo rip-off".

The a DLC comes out that adds "Spartan Armor", and "Warthog vehicles."

I think it would be ironic if we were all made out of iron.

Holy shit, Scott not only updated once, but twice? His last update was like 6 months apart.
