[Column] Infinite Crisis: The Superheroic MOBA

Games like SMITE change things up from the League formula by offering a unique third person perspective, but you don’t necessarily have to change things that much to create a satisfying experience, and that’s where Turbine’s Infinite Crisis comes in for me.

    Complete waste of money by the studio when they could have been working on something meaningful.  Nothing good has come from Warner Bros buying Turbine.  It is rare when a purchase like this works.

    another "Click right mouse button>drink coffee>click right mouse button>drink coffee>rinse and repeat" type MoBA. yes we really need more of these? so how many of these coming out this year? Strife, Dawngate, Infinite crisis and what else? i am sure all the LoL and DoTA 2 players will leave and take their money to these games which are just the same crap in different colors.

    Boobs are LIFE, Boobs are LOVE, Boobs are JUSTICE, Boobs are mankind's HOPES and DREAMS. People who complain about boobs have lost their humanity.

    Are we just pretending League is an original thing now?

    Hmm can't say I'm that familiar with MOBA's but that's ok neither is Turbine. This should be interesting/

    I love that game.  I agree though that they could give us a few more standard characters instead of all of the divergent ones, but other than that I really enjoy it.  Plus all of the Green Lanterns kick butt.

    It is like LOL but different at the same time.  Fights can last a lot longer in IC, and it isn't nearly so "3 kill gg", which is LOL speak for "You killed me 3 times in a row and so I will never be able to come back now" an occurrence that can lead to no end of whining and crying from the rager class.

    In IC you can get pounded on pretty badly early game and, if you build your character right and do the right things, can come back in the late game.  Also, even though it is true that a lot of the characters could almost be superimposed over LOL characters without really noticing the difference, somehow they still fit to the superhero they are supposed to emulate and give you a really good chance to play a character that feels like you think they should.  I mean with 4 or 5 buttons that is.

    To the guy that said another point and click and drink coffee game, I have no idea where you came from with that.  That is no MOBA I have ever seen.  But then, when you are just saying things to be negative facts probably don't count much huh?

    Anyway, Infinite Crisis is a fun game.  No it's not as polished or as user friendly as League, in fact you actually need a pretty beefy machine to make it look halfway decent or you will be somewhat disappointed in the way it both looks and plays.  Cover these bases though and open your mind to the idea of having some fun and there is plenty of fun to be had.  As for the beefiness required, I am guessing that all the Haswell's coming out soon will take care of that.  You know how they do.
