Ninja Theory's multiplayer online melee game: Bleeding Edge beta

How is the wait time for matchmaking?

You can stick a fork in this one -

I played a couple times and, eh. Not really my type of game anyway, so I’m not really much of a judge, but I would have to think Ninja Theory’s time and energy is probably better served elsewhere.

Bleeding Edge was a neat concept that had a fundamental flaw that you really needed to play with a group of friends on mics. If you just queued up solo to join a team of randos you would be slaughtered every single time as your team all just wandered off in different directions like it was Call of Duty thinking they could lone wolf it.

So I think the game had a hard time retaining new players that mostly solo queue into matches. If I had a group I played with this might have worked for a while, but the solo experience was miserable.

The character designs were really annoying too.

That wasn’t an enthusiastic tweet. “Still playable.”
