Im curious, as a pc community, how do we feel about dota 2?

Im excited because its valve, and also because ive never played the original defense of the ancients mod, but im also concerned, because of all the controversy surrounding it. soooo yeah

I hope that valve can bring the characters to life and put in that extra something that they have in their other games

It's Defense of the Ancients, not Dawn.

I don't feel too well. I don't know what Valve is thinking with this one.

agreed. do we know if this is going to be a predominently storyless venture? not that i need it to have a story, and im assuming there's not singleplayer.

yeah, i knew that, thx for pointing it out, now its fixed. and yeah im not sure either, it seemed weird considering valve and dota were never even mentioned in the same sentence before the anouncement of dota 2. i just seemed kindof out of nowhere. on the otherhand tho, ITS VALVE. they dont normally mess things up.

Its nothing but a good thing, DoTA is great but really showing its age now. same maker as DoTA (despite him being a douche) with Valves Studio, engine and community... how can you go wrong exactly? the only thing they can do wrong imo is fail to make the game immune to shroud hacks, which the almighty blizzard failed to do despite a small company like S2 (HoN) managing to do so.

well, we know the gameplay is identical to dota, so if that's not your thing, you probably won't change your mind. having said that, what really makes or breaks a game like this is all the small things. the interface, the replays, the community features (specifically the sidekick, or mentor feature). i read somewhere that heroes will have particular quotes they will say when they see certain heroes. it has the potential to be really good.

I feel that it should have stayed as a WC3 map and have its community or its creators have a crack at a concrete SC2 one. Quite indifferent, I was hooked to this game with my friends.

I wish they would stray a bit away from DOTA, modernize it a bit, but staying true to some of the things that made DOTA unique. If not i think i will just stick with league of legends for my MOBA needs.

I imagine the same concept, much improved graphics, better dyanamics and movement, and more options and builds. But honestly if they delve into that area it's going to turn out like another MMORPG but PvP style...and hopefully free =].

i'd love ragdoll physics, which is possible since it's using the source engine.

FYI: DOTA style games have their own genre. Which is called MOBA. MOBA stands for multiplayer online battle arena.
