No one really knows, it may be a combination of the Call of Duty franchise fizzling out and the desire for a third Team Fortress game.

Is it still popular?
Last I checked, everyone was too busy sperging about PUBG to bother with Overwatch.

nigger its popularity has been rapidly declining since launch, it will never be as popular as it was a launch

I regret buying it.

Advertising to e-sportsfags will do that. Plus, I've heard that despite all the faggotry surrounding it it's an okay game and "just okay" is what normalfags are conditioned to expect.

From what I've seen and heard of it, it definitely seems like a "just okay" game that becomes exponentially worse in hindsight.

...

It panders to the lowest common denominator of casual

My group of friends still is playing it, probably for a lack of anything better multiplayer-wise. I'm trying to get them on Doom/Zandronum, one of them says it's too ugly to play.

I swear we just barely had a thread about overmeme (and I mean just barely, not the eternal threads about it that are always up once a week)

s/anything/knowing about anything/

cause mercy is fun
and is gonna get more fun with her change
i want to kill myself to but there is not much else to really play as a time killer

...

go back to tumblr.

Following the team fortress 2 format of making supplemental shorts and constant updates, mostly avoiding the pitfalls of team fortress 2 to where it is today.

Sex sells.
Is that so hard to understand?

That's all it ever was.

Because it is a blizzard game and Ecelebs are circlejerking it because it is a blizzard game. It's popular on the merit of being popular. And people play that which is popular.

And it's a good thing.

the porn is awful shit and all the characters are like disney ones

Maybe you suck at finding it.

How the fuck it is not a good thing? It's the best part of it.

pffft ahahahaha shit eating and being proud of it. overwatch fans.

Huh? I don't even own the thing.

Or it's a needle in a haystack and I'd be better off finding Kancolle or Granblue stuff.

As an OW player (for what is worth), the game's current state is very volatile and balance is worse than ever, developers hate D.Va, on the other hand they finally took Mercy down a little, but in general they are supposed to aim for a middle ground bewteen low level and high level play for balancing but still screwing up every tier.

To elaborate, they want you to play the heroes as they "intended" but their intent always seems to change depending on what they fucked up and refuse to revert out of mere pride.


And yet those players are getting the short end of the stick every time.

There is this kid I use to play with every now and then, and I always wonder why he wants to get higher in competitive play, he only has told me stuff like how certain top players have less than X hours on a hero and still got to GM, but the point stands, he isn't kind of interested in the golden weapon skins, even I stopped caring long ago, but sometimes I can't understand why some people think there is any kind of reward for getting to high rank if you aren't one of those stupid eSport celebrities.

My friends all play this, Dota2, and PUBG.
They got me to buy Overwatch and every time I play it I hate it a bit more. It's pretty shit.

The junkers are really the only good part about Overwatch

How is he viable when his only buff was being able to walk and heal at the same time? he is still a big ult charge battery.

because it's a fun game with a great art style and likeable characters.
and yes those characters are based off stereotypes like "cyber ninja" and "sexy sniper" - thats the point.
you spergs might want to step outside of your "nothing is good but doom and demons souls" echo chamber and get some perspective.

Well in total mayhem he is now officially unkillable unless the entire enemy team rolls DPS and focuses him, so there's that.

Its been waning in popularity for a long time.

As usual, the devs didn't think about everything, well, is only Mayhem arcade so is OK.

I really regret taking the plunge and buying it twice, bought it for my poor-ass best friend so we could play together. Neither of us have played in a while and I would've rather spent the money on almost anything else. I have a lot to say about this game, actually, because Holla Forums shits on it for the wrong reasons.

The gameplay itself is quite fun and all the classes are pretty cool. The maps have a good amount of visual variety, but in terms of design, don't vary much. Character designs are OK. Dva and Pharah are cute as fuck, and a few of the others have neat designs [soldier 76 and Junkrat particularly strike me as very unique/cool]. I like the skeleton-frame of a 'universe' they've built, and a better game could have done it more service. The issue is with Blizzard's absolute lack of flexibility and completely autismo design.

Overwatch is a game that is conventionally "fun", but it's designed by a committee to be safe, diverse, inoffensive, and as a consequence, utterly toothless. Dedicated servers don't exist as far as I'm aware. Moddability of the game is an absolute zero, so it's always going to play the same. User-made maps don't exist, there are no custom profile pictures, no custom sprays, no gameplay customization, and chat is censored. The aesthetic is like a cross between a 3d anime and a disney movie, which seems to me like an absolutely shallow and transparent effort to grab both weeaboos and teenage girls alike.

It lacks any kind of weak point or offensive content, but that also robs it of absolutely any kind of bite, and leaves it with no substance whatsoever. Overwatch is a neutral, generic, tasteless game that takes no risks. It's fun to play, and easy to like, but impossible to love, because it has no character of its own.

It's the video game equivalent to eating clay. It isn't necessarily terrible for you, and technically satisfies your hunger, but it has no real value.

There's custom servers. You can start your own server and change it's rules including the HP, speed, cooldowns, attack, etc for every character, and there's a server list for these servers.
There's also only one instance of "chat is censored" and it's more of a joke anyway.

I honestly don't know what exactly you wanted here or why you want what you claim you want.
Plenty of other shooters already try to go the "brutal violent" way that gives them "some bite" and the world is flooded with that kind of games now. You say Overwatch lacks any of this but that's actually it's strength. In a world filled with shooters trying to make you feel like an ultra-violent badass, Overwatch is one of the few that prefers being bright, colorfull and cheerfull.

Perhaps this is why it fails to atract some people, it doesn't seem as competitive-focused and more fun-focused than other games and if you derive your fun entirely on winning alone, it's definetely not gonna appeal to you.
However there's quite a lot of people that were wanting for a game that doesn't take itself too seriously and focus more on being fun than making everything a chalenge for you and Overwatch filled that niche.

So I end up seeing these kinds of critics as "This game doesn't appeal to me" rather than "This game is bad" because fundamentally, you're just saying the game doesn't feature an aesthetic or a particular focus that you're looking for, not actually pointing out flaws in it.

I want to fuck the color back into Widowmaker's skin. Also ejaculate inside Mercy to make babies.

thats the only reason it was ever popular, it was pixar+incredibles+porn

...

It's a shit game and Kaplan is cancer.

I guess you got me there, I must not have played since before that was added. Are these servers dedicated? Can you leave them running and make a community with them, like old Source games?

When I say "moddability", I don't mean changing variables. I mean being able to add your own serverside or clientside content to increase the longevity of the game, a la TF2. Team Fortress 2 had entirely separate gamemodes that were custom-made and spread among the community. I'm talking about things like Jailbreak, Deathrun, Surf, and the myriad of cool custom content that accompanied them. I don't hold every multiplayer game to this standard, but for a game that's so blatantly trying to ape TF2, it wouldn't hurt them to drop the fucking ego and follow the path of its more successful precursor. But this is Blizzard: To allow custom content of any kind would kill their T rating, and they would lose profit that way.

I like the idea of a multiplayer game with a more lighthearted tone, but OW is cartoony and child-friendly in a way that is borderline patronizing. The atmosphere is childish and annoying, and it blatantly panders on numerous occasions. TF2 is colorful and cheerful, but actually has the balls to balance it out by including blood, gibs, some dark humor here and there.

I should annotate a bit and say that the game has been dying over the past 4-5 months. Predictably, Blizzard keeps the numbers a secret, but the writing is on the wall. I've been hearing about it less and less as time goes on. The people I know who cared about it, don't seem to give as much of a shit anymore. On the one hand I'm enjoying watching it bleed out, but on the other hand, it's a huge bummer it couldn't be turned into a better game, especially since Valve is killing TF2 slowly as well.

So basically people just pretend she is talking to them and they are hanging out?

You can.

That, you can't do.

Too be honest, I don't have a lot of faith for custom-content outside of mods for singleplayer games, since custom maps end up being horrible (looking at you, cp_orange) or made for some other purpose like trade servers, idle servers, achievement servers, etc.
And while some custom-content can be pretty cool, the majority of people that boot the game want to play the game, not alternative gamemodes. I did try Freak Fortress and similar gamemodes, but only sporadically. If I didn't want to play TF2, I wouldn't start TF2 and if I wanted to play a L4D ripoff, I'd play Killing Floor instead.

That would be Paladins or Gigantic, actually. You're sounding a lot like "mature games for mature people like me", which is stupid when you have PUBG, CS:GO or even Dirty Bomb if you want more realistic mature style.

you're waifu has entirely too much art, faggot.

+$0.05

...

...

yeah no one has ever heard of this game.

>(((Blizzard))) sent DMCAs to porn artists
This is why the Japanese industry is superior.

This is why Japanese culture, in the here and now, is superior. The West is a dumpster fire releasing toxic, AIDS inducing smog into the atmosphere.

It's absurd that a culture with as rich art history as it does has to turn to Nips to draw nice girls.

That inane post doesn't even deserve a (you).

...

Mei isn't my waifu

...

It's not supposed to be one, dunno why that's a point you're trying to make.
Are you gonna complain it doesn't have more cars like racing games? Or that only arena shooters are fun?

Because only assfaggots are allowed to have abilities, right?
Because abilities are inherently bad, not a way to introduce gameplay that doesn't fit into a weapon, right?
Because limited ammo is always a good idea no matter the game, right?

The only good thing about Overwatch is some of the art and porn.

The characters are caricatures. They went for the TF2 approach but also went overboard, making them feel artificial to the point where their words and animations are cringeworthy rather than funny.

...

That's a contradiction. TF2 goes for subversion of caricatures, not actually caricatures. That's why they have a womanizer french, an inteligent texan, a slim and athletic american, a fat russian man, a german doctor, an australian sniper that's not actually australian, etc.

They went with character archtypes, not caricatures.


They also use one of those accounts in the test server for a total of 3 running accounts, but that doesn't cost extra however.

If you want to lose faith in humanity, type "Dota" and "Compendium" in google.

Because.

Another thing people easily forget is that heavy is actually very smart, he just has really bad english.

I think more like "above average" tho when compared to the rest of the cast (like the soldier) he comes out really smart.

Talk about subversion, wew.
That's one of the things I really didn't liked in that End of the Line short they made, where Heavy struggled to play chess, when he's really smart, he just doesn't like babbling and talk unnecessarily. I believe he has a PhD in Literature even.

To be fair "german doctor" is kind of a caricature/stereotype, especially since the medic falls into that "nazi superscience" zone.

I think overwatch rides mostly off waifufags and kids from troubled, low income households that wish that mercy was their mom or something

Diablo 3 lost popularity rapidly, but that game still managed to hang around like a bad smell for ages, not alive but never truly dead

I know he's a play on Goebbels, but Germans are considered to be cold unemotional people incapable of compassion.
To have one assigned the role of support and caring for his teammates health is quite the subversion there.

Also Soldier being patriotic as shit when all his medals and achievements are fake and he likely never fought in any war at all.
He's more likely to be a draft dodger with a guilty conscience than an actual soldier.

Nigger are you retarded? Half of the maps added to TF2, including a lot of the really popular ones were community created (and later officially added). Including Turbine, Process, Gullywash, Harvest, Snakewater, Lakeside, Metalworks, Sunshine… not to mention all the variants like pro viaduct and tons of others that add more life to existing maps or other fun. Go read a bit about how much of TF2 is originally community created content, I'll give you a hint, it's a lot. There's a reason valve seems to be all over the fucking place with design sometimes, it's because the TF2 team barely exists anymore and hasn't for a while so they're leeching off of the good content fans produced

So you're saying the community should never be allowed to make custom maps again, uh?

It isn't? I mean, it's not showing up at the top of Steam Charts.

Overrated post.
Or underrated.

I don't think it shows up at all on SC. Blizzard Entertainment says there's 10 million players across all available platforms, but no metrics are provided so it could be practically dead for all we know.

Like every game Blizzard has ever made?

His in-game description says "the Heavy isn't dumb".
In Poker Night at the Inventory he says he has a PhD in Russian literature. Apparently in the Russian version of TF2 he talks really fancy to reflect this. For example, in the Russian version of Meet the Heavy he introduces himself saying the equivalent to "I am a specialist in large weaponry" I can't confirm, I don't know Russian.

Mikhail's father was a counter-revolutionary, he was sent to fucking gulags. After he broke out and helped all the other prisoners escape, he fled to the west.

Please tell me you're trolling…

Turbine was the first community map added to TF2 and within the first half a dozen after launch, it was a very early attempt that has since spawned improvements like pro turbine. If you can't see the significance I'm afraid you should probably leave and go back to twitch to watch your retarded blizzard fanboys.

You can complain about hurrbine all you want but it's still much better than 2fort.

It keeps happening!


Just jesting, mate. Turbine is a shit map that is only worth it if you partner with someone and spam 2 Mini-Sentries on top of the containers to make the enemy team rage.

wew lad

I never understood why 2fort was so popular. I hated that map with a passion.

I'd expect tumblrettes to throw a bitch fit over it but if they didn't do so when stronk independant pueple hair turned out to be a nationalistic mech hating militar instead of a rainbow haired millenian neohippy they probably never will

...

Fat people and overcucks need to be gassed

Overwatch's approach to violence is downright insulting. The "cute" and "quirky" characters spend all their time murdering each other with small arms but we're not supposed to see it as violent because there's no blood when people get riddled with bullets and exploded. They use "future" guns with LEDs on them like something out of a Saturday morning cartoon, but G.I. Joe still refrained from showing people being shot directly in the face with them. And then there are characters like Mei, a "cute" scientist who "wants to help people" so she invented a Geneva-convention breaking cryogenic weapon and started killing people by impaling them with icicles.

FPS games are inherently violent and the way Blizzard pretends these characters aren't killers creates a big disconnect between the setting and the actual gameplay. They're trying to have their kid-friendly cake and eat it at the same time. Just "not showing blood" or "not using real bullets" is not enough to make a game like nonviolent and it makes the whole thing a farce.

The only way to do a nonviolent shooting game is something like Splatoon, where nobody dies. Maybe something like Paladin's cartoon aesthetic is removed enough from reality that it doesn't seem like real violence but I haven't payed that so I couldn't tell you.

I think they're still in denial over the eskimo lady.


These people are sick in the head.

They actually did throw a bitchfit with the Chinese New Year skin that Mei had.
Not only did it made her look like decent weight, there was an issue with her skeleton that deformed her ass to the point that Blizzard had to patch it.
However the tumbltards heard "we're patching Mei's ass because it's looking too fat" instead of "We're fixing her pelvis bone because it's deforming her model too much".
Couple that with the mixture of "unrealistic proportions for a woman" with actual unrealistic and deformed proportions for an ass and you get quite the shitstorm.
The sad part is that the model is still kinda fucked…


You've chosen the wrong angle to critique the game.

You're supposed to see it as noble if you're playing the good guys or downright evil if playing the bad guys and that's it.
You're also forgetting that some countries have mandatory bans on blood and gore like some asian countries, where they can't show that kind of stuff.
How'd you expect them to be mainstream in those countries if the game itself or even footage about it was illegal there?

I thought the whole pozzing neghole/bugchasing thing was just a joke. I thought it was a silly internet meme and nothing more.

To nitpick, it's called "bugchasing". Also it's not so bad that these people commit to a short life.


Just as well most games ignore or put out special German versions.

More like creating life versus ending it.
The only fair comparison is how some women try to get pregnant in an effort to ruin someone else's lives much like those fags.
Then again, it's an halfchan screencap, what did you expect?


Wouldn't work very well when livestreams and videos on youtube are supposed to be one of the atractions in the game and those'd be illegal for said countries. Remenber where Blizzard gets most of it's fanbase from, they may be loser countries but they are still their demographic.

It's also not really a good point, there's nothing wrong with a game going for Noblebright instead of Grimdark and the sheer lack of them is more than enough justification to warrant their existence.
I do love me some grimdark too but shit's overdone and saturated, not to mention it attracts far more children than actual noblebright.
CoD and CS:GO, with it's focus on violence, atract a much younger demographic than Overwatch, for instance.

Go to Steam Charts and search for Overwatch.

You also think le happy merchant is a meme?

You can't call it a "Noblebright" setting when the entire thing revolves around characters murdering each other with assault rifles and shotguns. Overwatch characters do the same things that Counterstrike characters do, but their guns have glowing lights on them so it's "not real violence - fine for kids!".

Things like Winston's Tesla gun or Mei's cryo weapon are worse than anything people in Counterstrike can do. They're weapons of torture like the Pyro's flamethrower in TF2, but he's a psychotic sadist while Winston and Mei are "science role models for kids :3"

As others have mentioned, between Blizzard/Activision funding it, E-sports sponsorship, and finding ways to pander to SJWs, leftists, and manchildren, it's not what it used to be, but like Diablo 3 it remains alive. I had a group of friends that would play nothing but hearthstone and D3 for months without playing anything else (same with OW) and after being roped into it, I think the other factor that keeps these games alive is how much of a casino/MMO setup the games are, with how hearthstone does just enough to entice players to spend money on virtual card packs and continuous level ups in Diablo 3 to make it feel like you're constnatly progressing when you're really not. In Overwatch's case, they entice players with limited time skins you either can't get after a while or pay with enough in-game money that takes forever to get, loot-boxes that give you random shit and if you get the same item, it turns into in-game currency, and at the time of it's release, enough events to keep people interested in a game with limited modes of play.

With all the hype and amount of players dying not even a year within it's lifespan, I'd say it's one of Blizzard's more failing games that they desperately try to keep alive with either their own money, e-sports money, or money from gambling addict "loyal" players so they can hide that fact. Sad really.

You don't know what noblebright is then, the use of weapons does not detract from that definition.

They are Science Powered weapons, designed to show that intelect wins the day, not actual torture weapons, since characters don't spasm uncontrollably when electrocuted nor do their body parts shatter when shot after being frozen.

Literally could've added gibbing to explosive classes and the not important spic.

But let's see if I can get dubs again.

Oh my sweet child.

Dubs blessed this thread.
Let the shitpost commence!

Not spraying damage around without actually killing anyone, letting Mercy charge her Ulti, one that takes the longest to charge?
Laying traps and aiming shots on the big glowing targets that will be vulnerable in a few seconds? Junkrat, Hanzo, Widow, Mei, Hog, etc all have an amazing oportunity there.
Breaking their formation instead of letting them all die together so Mercy can't rez them all?
Going around and killing Mercy first?

Just because there's not a cookie cutter counter like Dva's matrix counter projectiles, it doesn't mean you couldn't play against it.
But then again, you don't the game. :^)

ITT: Burnt-out Lawbreakers/Battleborne shills lament how they've failed their masters.

Hold your horses, partner!

It has retarded childish art (literally, some of the characters look like they have Down syndrome), and the characters are dumb. The game is dumb, and we're all dumber now for having had this discussion about you being wrong.

Oh shit, that explains why retards like: are all going "it looks childish", because it's not as "badass" or as "dark souls of arena shooters" as the games they liked.

Fuck, I even forgot about McCree despite that being one of the best Ultis to counter Mercy since you can start locking on even before they are vulnerable.
It's almost like a huge part of the gameplay is countering Ults with your own Ults instead of spamming them!

they released ffa mode so the game's fun now

I had some fun with overwatch, but it didn't take me long to realise it's just a much crappier version of TF2 (at least it wants to be)

...

Oh shit, you just explained on Holla Forums how big of a fucking casual you are. The art is dumb. The colors are dumb. The characters are dumb.

Here are some of the reasons:
-homosexuality is immoral and evil
-transexuality is immoral and evil
-"gender fluidity" is immoral and evil

Hey look! It's the same image that is always posted by the faggot that doesn't have a point to make and never convinces anyone because of outdated they are!
I haven't seen that in a while, be sure to post it again in the next thread, I'm sure there must be one or two guys that haven't seen it yet.

At this point, someone should make an "Overwatch shitpost bingo" with all of these pics and thumbnails of the outdated webms that still haven't been posted for whatever reason.

If the faggot that wrote all this tried any harder he'd have a hernia, what a gay.

Overwatch is ok. Nothing more, nothing less. It would probably be better if Blizzard stopped balancing around player perception, like nerfing Roadhog into the ground or the upcoming defense matrix nerf. Once again they're turning the game into a mobility/DPS-race, just like all their previous games. They really can't into scaling or balance worth a damn.

...

It's because some people legitimately believe that it's a competitive e-sport. Additionally, the things you mentioned don't exactly hurt its popularity.

Wasn't Roadhog buffed with upper firing speed and 5 bullets instead of 4, plus moving while healing though?
Also I can see how Defense Matrix can be quite annoying, it really screws up attackers but then again, it's not as bad as Reinharts Shield and it's just Dva doing it's thing. How are they gonna nerf it? And does it even matter when Dva's gonna get mini rockets?

That's pretty much how these kind of games usually end up, mobility is always king and DPS dictates how fast engagements last. Although, HotS still manages to be a bit better with several characters being strong in other fields like siege damage or taking neutral camps.

How'd you have it instead of focusing on mobility and DPS?

I never seen such a fucking faggot shill like 35b2fe

Why does he devote so much energy to making an ass of himself in a community that hates him?

Oh no! I'm being cyber bullied! Whatever shall I do?

-_-
There, you're not real anymore. :^P


Compared to someone posting in a thread about a game he doesn't like? Really makes you think…


Never played tribes, never made that comparison and it doesn't even make sense. Tribes seems to be all about large open maps and abusing skying for increased speed. Overwatch is closer to TF2 than Tribes, what kind of retard would say otherwise?
Equally dumb thing to say, popularity doesn't have a direct correlation with quality past a certain point.
Also never said that, especially since they are pretty close but still play fundamentally different from each other. Paladins is closer to a MOBA in how it progresses anyway and is far more jewish in terms of costs for the player anyway, making Overwatch a better choice if you can spare the money.
Paladins is still better than Battleborn anyway, but if you gotta choose, go for Gigantic instead, it's just as jewish but not as bad and it's more unique

I doubt he does it for free.

It's the pink robot

Oh, it's another re-run of "Me and the Proxies". I can't watch this episode again, it's so sad…


You need to be more specific, Bastion has a pink skin, but I'll assume you mean Dva's mech.
You know it isn't sentient, nor can it be, right?

Could you stop making awful posts for a second and just tell us if you're paid to do this?


I don't know which case would be more pathetic

I'm talking about the gook's robot.
>You know it isn't sentient, nor can it be, right?
That isn't a problem for me.

That's because BDO is a piece of korean dogshit, that has so many unnecessary layers of obtuse bullshit, it makes EVE Online look like babby's first videogame. I want my fugging 6 eurodollars back you korean jews

It's pretty pathetic that he's fishing for (You)s at this point.

wuz real humans n shiet, yes.

Funny that I'm talking with that user about how sentient his fetish robot is and arguing with your proxies at the same time. There's some irony here, alright.


>>>/clang/
They should have a thread dedicated to it. If not, start one to prove your love for your waifu.


Is it that bad? It seemed incredibly generic but the player-driven economy seemed like an interesting aspect at least in the start.
Usually the way they go about this is always obtuse for the sake of pretending there's any depth instead of just time sinks, but that's something you have to put up with korean MMO's (that and the cheesy stupid stories they come up with).

liveleak.com/view?i=1d4_1437547293

I problem I have with overwatch isn't the game itself, it's the design philosophy that blizzard used to make overwatch that really drives me up the wall. Since Blizzard is trying so hard to grab the e sports market, characters are designed to be balanced instead of designed to be fun. Most of the abilities in the game feel really watered down to make sure that they're not too good; as a consequence it's hard to do anything creative and interesting. For example, McGree's flash bang sucks complete ass, I could piss further than it's effective range, and the blast radius is so small that in order to stun two enemies at a time they'd have to be hugging eachother. All you can do with it is stun a single enemy for a second, you can't use it for crowd control, you can't use it to escape, you can't set traps with it, you can't use it for fucking anything besides what it says on the box. I could write a college essay about all of the character's abilities and why they suck, but the point is it all of the characters feel bland and not fun to play.

Gentlemen…
BEHOLD!!!

I HAVE COMBINED TWO WAIFUS INTO ONE!!!

Actually if I recall correctly soldier paid for his own ticket to germany and went on a rampage through europe before actually realizing the war was over 10 years ago and decided he'd make all of those medals for himself.

don't you lie

That board does have porn of her, but it's not much.

Just wanted to get the Dr. Weird reference out.
And makes you think how they're gonna live together like this.

It's an 'okay' game with a lot of style that appeals to the mass market. From a good, pixar-leaning aesthetic to some colourful characters that Blizzard is careful not to ever expose as shallow (which is why there's no singleplayer stuff and only sparse story material). It's short and easy to digest with friends no matter your skill level.


Funnily enough, I hear Blizzard don't actually focus much on competitive in this game?

>(((1)))

Nice try, but a little to late.
You should try to act faster and write it at the beginning of the thread.
Didn't you read your shilling manual?

...

there is not a lot of really good porn though.

Unfortunately, real life is a lot worse than it seems.
At least it makes the rare moments of bliss oh so much sweeter.

McCree isn't meant for crowd control
It's not meant for that either, it's an ability to interrupt other people and provide you with a counter against close range encounters where McCree is at his weakest.
He is meant for mid-long range action with little damage falloff and pinpoint accuracy. If someone manages to get close enough to you that you can hit them with a flashbang, you're already doing something wrong.

Even then, you can interrupt most Ultis and abilities in the game with a very short cooldown. You can fully interrupt a charging Reinhart or even Lucio when he jumps up. That's for more bang for your buck than most other abilities actually.
However, I'll grant you that point simply because I'd much rather have a dynamite stick instead for the cliche to be complete.


Give her a katana and you have the whole "nothing personnel" complete.

The reason why I mentioned crowd control and the like was to point out how the flashbang lacks depth. Maybe Mcgree wasn't the best example.

Frequently updated stream bait game.

...

It's an ability that can shutdown every non-instantaneous ability in the game, requires timing and aiming on your part and balances it's usefullness with limited range. Why would you try to downplay it so much?

You have Junkrat that does precisely what you're asking for, there's no need to have 2 characters doing the exact same thing in the game and there's no reason to buff his flashbang into a decent medium range cc alternative when that's not the role he's supposed to fill in. Soldier with his rockets does that part.

.. too bad you can cure AIDS nowadays

Can you?

This is what winning world war 2 got us. This is what our veterans fought to protect.
Never forget that.


Jokes on you, they're living at your expense, gays cost individual taxpayers some thousands of dollars EVERY YEAR to afford them their life preserving medication, and if you were to include those not paying taxes, it would still be $900+ per person.
Taxpayer dollars go towards keeping them alive and allowing them to continue infecting others. That Skrelli guy who you might have heard raised "hiv/aids medication" to something like $5k per pill? That medication wasn't for treating hiv/aids, it was a medication used in preventing secondary infections to people with weakened immune systems, you know, people who would probably benefit from it more would be children, the elderly, but gays are buying it all because they get fucking pozzed and want to fulfill their homosexual jihad.

Not really cure it. You're stuck paying for expensive medicine all your life, or, to say it more precisely, the taxpayer is. Beating homosexuals should be a national past time to help reduce stress levels.

Rope, fall from a high-rise, a bullet, it all works.

This OW reminds me of Halo hate back in the day on old Holla Forums. A decent game with a shit ton of people wanting to hate it based on popularity alone, though In this case you'll just say you dislike it due to a design decision rather than the truth that it's too popular for you fags

Cooldowns are pretty fucking gay, though.

I play it with friends because it's fast, has okay gameplay, and if you coordinate with your team you can completely stomp the other team. That leads to there, on occasion, being an incredibly close match where both teams are by some miracle pretty closely matched. Despite the poor balance, and limited maps, it actually has a wide variety of playstyles you can try out. Most of them will suck, because most people know how to stop whatever stupid shit you're doing, but sometimes you can get away with retarded shit. There have been some genuinely fun matches, and it really reminds me of when TF2 was good (however short that period of time was).

That being said, if my friends didn't play it, I wouldn't. It has a lot of issues that cause solo queue to be either complete shit, or way too easy. In general I think it could be fixed by adding more maps, adding character bans of some sort, and reworking a few characters. It's really not as horrible as these kinds of threads make it out to be, and I'm really not sure why you keep bringing it up if you hate it. Just shut up about it and it'll go away. I wouldn't be telling you my experiences if you would just stop making threads for it.

Because the learning curve is a straight line just above zero.

Thought that was armpit hair on Widow for a sec, thinking "well, she's French."

Depends on your point of view. I'm fine with abilities in games. MOBA elements are fine if they're well implemented.

It's simple enough that any retard who has never played an FPS can play it "competitively", at the same time this means that the skill ceiling is really low so people are also getting bored of it really quickly.

There is UT4
There is the spiritual sequel to tribes ascend (vid related)
There is that new Quake game but I don't know how shit it is.

what competition does it really have in the hero shooter niche? knockoffs of it died like flies and overwatch fans don't want to migrate to other games because they've beaten housewives with character loyalty issues

It's the most simple way to introduce resource management. You could have "ammo" for abilities instead but then you'd have to come up with a way to replenish them but most ways to do so often interrupt gameplay a lot more than they should and end up not balancing things very much while making them more convuluted.

Thinking about TF2, there were a few weapons with the negative trait that they had less ammo in stock, something that never mattered that much if you knew were ammo crates were or you kept picking up the ones you got for killing people.
You could be chasing a guy that has no ammo, he turns a corner and when you catch up, he got a crate and is now firing at you.
Coodowns are more reliable in that you know for instance that Tracer can Blink 3 times and then once every few seconds only, instead of Blinking 3 times and then once more for every Ammo crate she touches, like the Spy with his watch.


If you don't like Overwatch, you're definetely not gonna like the "new Quake".
It's class-based deathmatch, you have heroes with differing amounts of HP and speed as well as each one having an active ability to use.

It's incredibly retarded because class-based gameplay only works well with team-based games where classes can combine and work together to play to their strengths and mitigate their flaws.
nuQuake instead has everyone playing exactly the same class (some beefed up dude with tons of HP) because it's objectively the best one to play with and several others namely the Light Armor ones are just asking for insta-frags.

So instead of having a gamemode where different roles can complement each other for a stronger composition, you're only given deathmatch where the killiest class wins and everything else is a downgrade, especially when being slightly faster doesn't mean anything in a game where rocketjumping will always make you faster than anyone else can be on foot or where the amount of shots you take before you die matter far more than your special snowflake ability.

God forbid someone realize they're out of ammo and go to pick some up, that would interrupt gameplay.

What the duck data are they collecting in the arctic? What the fuck is this data and why is it important? If she was in cryosleep for so long why isn't the entire base buried in snow?

This short fucking sucks.

o u

That scenario presents a player with a lot more decisions that they have to make in a very short amount of time compared to a cooldown system.

Roughly 5000 people are currently in the arctic right now collecting data.
There's a lot of stuff to research up there.
Embed is an example.

They get a lot better as they continued to make them, I would really recommend watching the rest of them just to appreciate them.

It's easy to pick up, and designed to either spend 10 minutes or sink 5 hours into it. It's easily picked up/dumbed down enough that you don't have to pay too much attention. It's as if it was literally designed as a means to keep you minimally engaged and waste time in. Whether or not that time is fun or not is completely subjective. Other than that, I imagine people play it because their friends play it.

But that means he'd have to stop shooting for 5 seconds, and that wouldn't be good for game flow.

Also if I remember correctly, you can't pick up a class until you get to a certain level and you have to pay to unlock some characters, which goes against the idea of a class-based game.

It gets better when you notice nobody really forgot about Mei, it is just nobody cared until she turned up with a torture device.

WW2 had no winners apart from you know who


Why OW has a cooldown system, exhibit A

because its all a series of macguffins, nothing in overwatch connects or matters. In a way its brilliant because it means those suits over at blizzard can skim /r/overwatch to see what the plebs want, and then make something to appease them without harming actual story or continuity because there is none

its why you have this big cast of characters all from different regions and cultures but they all more or less have the same 2-3 personality types and they just wait for the fanbase to impose something onto then for free

Whoop whoop

you mean why it's popular on Holla Forums or why it's popular in general? Well it's a normalfag game, no idea why you are surprised people play it. As for Holla Forums, as long as a game has good female characters in it Holla Forums will throw it's principles away. Mortal Kombat XL, Rainbow Six Siege, Overwatch and Street Fighter V. All of them are VERY bad games but people on Holla Forums play them.

That's all it ever had going for it.

Fuck you nigger, siege is good and barely has waifubait at all.

listen here fucko, siege kicks ass but its girls aren't fappable

Because only in GM does everyone understand what characters can do and how to counter everything

The road to GM is paved with literally millions of terrible genji/hanzo "Mains," players who have no idea what the fuck they're doing, which makes playing the game a literal crap shoot because even the pros say playing with randoms will at most let you a win/loss rate of 55%/45% because carrying in this game is virtually impossible vs say Quake/CS:GO/Battlefield 1/Titanfall, where the player with the highest skill will decimate lower skilled gamers

They've pandered to at least six fetishes so far.
Come on, don't act like Orisa wasn't subtle pandering for robot fetishists. Just by looking at the amount of porn of her so far shows that Blizz knows what they're doing.

what is this competetive?

I have to cover angles because my teams are literally dumber than gnats so I often have to set up to shoot the tracer/sombra/winstons that want to attack the back line everyone wants to ignore which is why I don't play healer anymore

It finally reached the point with overwatch the only way I could find enjoyment out of the game was to turn off my mic, turn off all game audio and play it while watching TV/movies on my second monitor or playing with music playing and giving myself stipulations while songs are playing

Because a slow game is inherently less fun and skillful than a fast game that requires twitch reflexes and good aim to hit a moving target.
No, but arena shooters are definitely more fun than a casualised, SJW pandering TF2 clone.
No, but that doesn't mean they belong in an fps.
They are when they're tied to a cool down timer.
Yes, because it means players can't just spam bullets don't choke points or door ways and are incentivised to land their shots and be smart with their ammo usage.


Says you, Oveywatch's artstyle is a clusterfuck of anime and western cartoon character designs and archetypes that don't mesh together.
The cutesy, cartoon aesthetic and animated shorts that don't even show anyone being killed on camera, completely clashes with the actual gameplay where you shoot, stab and blow up your enemies.
Another shooter that has a cartoon aesthetic but does it right is TF2, unlike Kikewatch's family friendly tone conversely TF2 uses dark humour and excessive violence and gore to juxtapose the cartoonish artstyle.
That's a moot point since both teams will have good guys and bad guys on them.
That doesn't defeat the other anons criticisms since those problems are exclusive to those countries, besides the devs could just release a censored version of their game in those countries.
Same answer as the previous question.

I hope that answered your questions, now please leave this board blizzdrone shill.

A lot of faggots need to start drinking the shit under the sink

This.
the term "waifu" is thrown around like it means nothing these days.

Because of the success of the league of legends format. It's just another 'big game' in that genre. It's obvious league became popular because of its e-sports monetization/advertisement and being free to play. Mass marketed games give me anal cancer so I'm going to stop right here before I sperg out.

Died immediately after Roadhog got nerfed. We have bullshit like Pharah that only two heroes in the game can counter (I guess Bastion to, but when was the last time you saw a guy play Bastion) and Satan herself, Symmetra but a hero that can be countered by simply positioning properly gets nerfed. If anything Roadhog needed a buff because the only thing in his kit offensively worth a damn was the hook and that includes his ult. I'm sorry, but when I blast you from 5-10 meters away with a shotgun, you shouldn't have taken 50 damage, you should be horizontal.

Not to mention that they can't even make a half decent story. They focus so much on meme heroes like Mei/Mercy/ rather than actually interesting stuff (Zenyatta, Rein, Junkertown, etc)

Don't pretend you are better than me you filthy /jp/ 2hu fag. You don't know how many nights I spent crying myself to sleep before i realized that my true friends were beside me all along. chinese cartoons and games.

Have you seen the mentality that pollutes overwatch?

"Play for fun" ← This is literally the only reason people are playing, where sitting around all day pushing buttons like Jack Packard makes the game fun, not playing to try and win at the game or trying to get better at it

Overwatch is the fucking smash bros of FPS, a game so dumbed down in its mechanics everyone would rather just fuck around than learn to do anything well simply because it's own mechanics is keeping the ceiling low

This is why characters with the highest skill potential have the most restrictions place upon them, McCree/Widow/Tracer/Soldier/Bastion/Sombra, hitscan is marred with retarded levels of spread and pathetically low damage because hitting somebody on the other side of the map with good aim is unfair, unless it's a spammed projectile in which case one of 6 shots will land and do more damage than if a hitscan landed more than half their ammo pool, and the only way to do any damage with the highest skill potential characters is to be within buttfucking distance of the enemies

And that's created the biggest problem with Overwatch, when only 1 out of 6 players on a team think trying to win is fun, vs playing for fun, you end up with win/loss rates that have a statistical average of 50% because nobody fucking cares

It's the daycare of FPS, when you get a team that is actually trying this game is fun as fuck because it's MOBA elements actually mesh, but when your DPS consists entirely of Hanzo/Genji/Tracer/Sombra and your tank is a roadhog and you get fucking steam rolled by the other team you realise this game will never be great because it's own mechanics work against it

stop lying to yourself, siege is normalfag tier bullshit.

I like the Bastion one.

Is there any porn of the new polish girl?

I can't believe how much I want to FUCK MEI WOW

pls suffer hypotermia and die

No wait, more-or-less Hitler was the Swedish dwarf, Rein is the sjw knight, right?

A robot with mystical powers that changes the lives of everybody he meets? Whoa, that actually sounds interesting rather than CoD soldier and cowboy man.
"I've never seen Mad Max" - You

Because most of non- free to play tf2 playerbase moved over, it is after all tf2 with tits and ass, the game is entertaining in short burst maybe playing with friends 1 or 2 hours and the forgetting about until next weekend/event, granted that's why most of Holla Forums hates it, cause you know, friends

Why is she crying?

Because you creep her out, she is scared. She has firearms, but doubts those are enough to stop a creepy monster like you.

Most of Holla Forums hates it because the gameplay is horrible, and not challenging.

top wew. also I didn't know there was more than like, 5 porn pics of siege other than shadman

becasue even the newest updates couldn't make her viable

My question is why the fuck do normalfags gawk over these Overwatch Animated shorts that look and feel like generic Dreamworks shit at best when the Team Fortress 2 Meet the Team trailers were significantly more creative and had far superior writing and voice acting?

I'm sorry.

Because Normal fags love Generic Dreamworks shit.

Because the people who like overwatch aren't old enough to have watched the tf2 shorts.

answered your own question, and TF2 shorts are old enough now that i would bank a lot of overwatch fans aren't familiar with TF2 before it got fucked up

all i got to do is this and trails of cold steel and i dont want trails to end

This genuinely depresses me

Comparing OW to Halo is insulting Halo


The OW shorts try to be deep, Meet the Team tried to be fun

Your post has legitimately made me feel bad.
I want to apologize to her.

I think that pins down why the characters in general are so shitty. The only character who tries to be fun in OW is junkrat.


Let go user, TF2 has been trying to rest for a long time but valve won't let it.

You know, everyone hated the Meet the Pyro trailer when it first came out but in retrospect it's still better than any of the Blizzard shorts

Blizzard tries going for this stale and "clean" look that makes the quality of their CG feel cheap, add that to a shitty plot solved by deus ex machinas and a really annoying chink voice actor (MUH CHINESE AUDIENCE!) and you've got a bowl of shit

I don't know if I could agree with you there, Meet the Pyro ruined his character forever and tried way too hard to be funny.

Pyro had a character before?

You're missing the point. Before the Meet the Pyro trailer came out people wanted Valve to specify in the trailer if Pyro was male or female (in a NON-SJW shit way because this was really before SJWs posioned gaming) so Valve said "fuck it" and made it dubious in the trailer instead

valves humor had become increasingly reddit flavored anyway

The trialer had a lot of character, a lot of heart and soul. Overwatches writing is bad because Blizzard does not like taking risks. I think Overwatch is trying to be a "Rated E" version of TF2. You'll never see any Overwatch character curse or insult someone else because Blizzard really hated taking risks in their writing. So the game comes off as stale, soulless, and contrived. In other words a marketers dream

i think they say "damn" and might make some jokes at the expense of low hanging fruit characters like roadhog (big fat guy). the biggest example of how no risks are taken in their designs is how forgettable their black characters are. they can't make them too "stereotypical' or 'white wash them" so you make the most forgettable negros on the face of the earth

Sometimes I think the Demoman was Valves way of saying "Fuck you" to people who wanted minorities shoehorned into their games. Not only is he half-Scotish but he's also a crippled drunk. And yet he's one of the most memorable characters. Because Valve didn't give a fuck

IIRC they only say "darn" and I think its Torb who says it

Regardless, you will NEVER hear any Overwatch character say "You black Scottish cyclops, now extinct!" Or "That helmet is gonna make a nice bowl for your brains!" Or "You're like a car crash in slow motion, it's like I'm watching you fly through a windshield!"
TF2 definitely has more memorable writing than Overwatch, it's the lack of wanting to take risks that hamper Overwatch in the writing department but it's what normalfags want nowadays so fuck it
4U

if he takes off his mask would he die? roadhog and junkrat are on the fucking CUSP of being fun characters too, if they just pushed their boundry a little bit i bet they would be way more fun, but overwatch is a corporate designed game to appease blizzards chinese overlords so its not going to take any risks whatsoever

More like it's not a complete fucking slog of a game with 52 different art styles and plenty of variety in lewd drawings of the female characters.

Overwatch animators have their heads up their ass in making their CGI movies, and are trying to be deep and philosophical while literally using the Disney formula in doing their shorts because they're so creatively bankrupt and have no other idea how to develop their character shorts other than dramatic set pieces which doesn't fit the game in itself at all

In comparison, the video made by SFM animators who know the characters as they actually are in game

You know, FUN, and not dramatic set pieces of shit, I can faithfully say Overwatch game has literally nothing to do with the Overwatch CGI universe which shows the total disconnect within the company in terms of direction and creativity which ultimately leads to why the game is an unbalanced mess

FYI - This short is probably the most accurate media they've ever made which fits the actual game, and not whatever shit Jeff has rattling around his skull or the shit narrative Metzen wrote to create the characters in the first place

Remember CGI team is literally sticking to the script when Overwatch was originally Titan and has nothing to do with the game becoming Overwatch

I really don`t understand what the hell you fucks are talking about, nothing put forward by blizz about overwatch is accidental, they know exactly what they are are doing, every frame and character design is made to appeal to children and men/women-children alike, it`s harmless with just a little bit of sexuality just like every Holla Forums approve animation ever to the point the crusty neckbeard and the rabid sjw see their favorite character as a perfect waifu and a avatar for feminism.

As somebody who knows people within Blizzard, yes, there is a huge disconnect in the company on Overwatch's direction

In comparison, the first OW short before succumbing to the Disney Formula, where it's fun and feels like a game full of fun superhero's

And then the downfall started as the writers fell in love with their characters, rather than making them fun characters

And finally the theme/fun of the original short is completely abandoned as the writers go fully Mary/Gary Sue and need to make everything "Deep" and have gone 100% Disney Formula

whoever is in charge are the biggest fucking waifufags, to my understand they made mercy (the medic) into some raging god of war cuz mercy players were getting bored of being regular healers

I don't think there was any kind of downfall. They know what they are doing, they are flanderizing the everliving shit out all the characters, which is exactly what the audience wants.

In comparison, TF2 Expiration date which was going to be a show on Cartoon Network and was abandoned simply because the writers demanded too much from CN in terms of standards for the characters, and as such in a two year period only one episode was produced and CN dropped the project entirely

Maybe you've not been keeping up on the whole thing, but the massive consensus of the people who play Overwatch is Mei short is shit vs Junkertown short

OW is fucking shitty and casualized even women play it, that should say everything about it.

I think that's more because Mei is just a shit character no one likes and Junkrat and Hog are at least fun and likeable. Seriously what is Mei's defining characteristic? All the OW characters have one, but Mei is just an average 20 year old chinese woman.

Not saying that this tf2 thing would have turned out good, but Valve has some good writers.

Congrats, you see how the Titan writers have Mei in the game because they're in love with their creations, vs how they actually come off

I thought her defining characteristic was being a fat chinese girl.

Used to have some good writers*

Why? they recently fired someone? I am not a fanboy, I don't know who worked there 5 years ago and who works there today.

One of the head writers left a few months back.

Crawl out of your cave m8

I can't find the image, but they recently fired and lost a lot of people, and I think they're down to less than four writers in the entire company.

Their writers all quit because valves creative process is literally glacial and they feel suffocated as Valve produces one piece of content a year

She's fat, and that makes her a great character according to SJWs. Nevermind that she wasn't actually fat and was just wearing a huge suit. They retconned that into her being fat because tumblrites complained.

Aside from that, I guess she's the insecure gadget user based entirely on the very few clips of her that I've been exposed to. I don't play that shit.

...

They ended up losing three out of their five writers, one of them being the guy who single-handedly wrote Half-Life 1 and 2.

no they didn't, look at

It wasn't even Tumblrites complaining. It was fetishists and waifufags arguing over whether she was fat or if the snow suit was just puffy.

...

That's still fat, just not hamplanet tier fat. I know they went back and changed some costume they added for her just because people were complaining that it showed that she wasn't fat enough.

I'd imagine that scene to have a more Michael Giacchino score if you wanted to remake it in a Disney style. But I actually like Michael Giacchino

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

KANGZ


They did change the costume, but she still isn't really fat. She's not a stick like mercy, but all her fat is located in the proper places, not on her stomach or arms but her tits and thighs.

...

the demographic

1.- FPS players who want easy masters/top 500. They know OW is casual easy shit and want to be the big fish in a small puddle. Also, it's enjoyable to kill casuals and bad players. The latter alone is a bigger demographic than the prior, but both are essentially FPS players looking for easy prey.

2.- Casuals. They easy and easy to learn and get into game. A game played in quick sessions casually, all they have to do is hold the left button and the can DPS (symm,mei), hold the right button and they do something (rein, orisa E), just being there helps (lucio, winston tanking) or just pressing a button helps (torb putting turret) or just holding a button heals and helps (mercy). You get the point. Its an easy as fuck game and casuals think theyre good players because they're contributing and feel their presence is changing the game, and there's enough room in the meta for growth, albeit nothing compared to actual FPS skillcaps like CS, for instance.

3.- Girl Gamers / lowest common denominator. They play because everybody does. Because they can stream it. Because their friends are playing it. Because its the fad. This is probably the worst of the worst in the chain

4.- Blizzardrones: They play WoW, diablo or starcraft and theyre hoping on their overlords new game. Hearthstone players too, and theyre the biggest percentage. usually encompassed by group 2 or 3, but also a stand alone group.


5.- people who want to play a co-op game with friends in sessions or casual play. Mostly group 2 and 3 , even 4, but also their stand alone group. This is typically people who dont want to play an MMO or LoL but want to play more co-op games. this group is fine with OW since its an easy game to get into

6.- Genuine OWfags who play it because they like it. this is usually the waifufags and people who fap to the characters and got into by the porn, then stayed for the game. They make threads from time to time yet play with no one. They play because they enjoy the game, not to climb the ladder. can be group 2 or 4 or 5

7.- lootbox addicts. Any other group can encompass this group as well. usually achievementfags. this group is probably part of most other groups, but there are autists, usually from 4, who want achievements and all the gear. group 4 and 1 encompass this group mostly.

Is this another episode of "Holla Forums doesn't know what fat" is?

I that depends, is this another episode of "user thinks everything that isn't anorexic is landwhale?

good one. valve doesn't even run their ti anymore.

Wait, this was made with SFM by Blizzard people?

No, he meant that all the TF2 shorts were made in SFM, a tool made by the games programmers, this means that the shorts were made by people who actually knew the game and its characters in contrast to Blizzards model where there is a disconnect between the people who makes the shorts vs the game

It's the only one that actually works standalone and has artistic merit. It's better than some of the Pixar shorts.


You need to understand the difference between fat and thick.
Thick means been fat in all the right places (thighs, ass and breasts, mostly).
Mei's real proportions were hidden for quite a while (original concept was quickly ignored), only when the chinese dress skins were released people realise she really was thick (as fans wanted). Tumblr complained because she wasn't literally fat, but Blizzard didn't gave a fuck because SJWs don't buy videogames.

I'll defend Blizz on that one it started that way and disconnecting "story" with "gameplay" is the way to go.

Bastion is too cute and innocent to be in such a cynically made game.

COR

It's a horrible way to go and its why the TF2 shorts had so much superior writing

I see, still, the Mei short is just an animated version of everything we knew about her backstory.


Maybe if people used "curvy" instead of "thick" there wouldn't be that many issues, also, Blizzard gave a fuck, by loosening the belt on her new year costumes and using loose clothing on her from then on.

I feel like curvy implies there's no waist though. Thick is the new curvy.

Curvy implies waist, but proportionally there is more on the right places.

I remember the thread where everyone talked about the new outfit for mei on lunar new year, where the outfit made her look skinny or at least like her waist was being squeezed by her belt, everyone lost their shit and blizzard said "it's a glitch!"
I think they updated her model to be fatter and it actually looked worse than the sfm models for her.
I only look up the porn, I couldn't give less of a shit about the game.


I burst out laughing as soon as I saw that gorilla's face. That was funnier than it had any right to be.

And that's why they go back to change models so she's fatter, or cave in when some dumbfuck complains about Tracer's pose (even if they tried to damage control the latter afterwards when it blew up)?

They made that one up

...

I sorta agree;
OW writing is trying too hard to be "comics all the way" and ends up shit because they can't write for shit while they have all the freedom to do as they want.

TF2 tries to go with game universe is real and it reads and looks like shit once you stop playing for awhile.

It was a genuie amateur hour fuck up though.

Oh sweet naive child, you should have learned already that there is always atleast a hint of reality behind every meme and more times then not the reality is much much worse.

Yeah I couldn't tell you what the hell is going on with that butt, even if the belt was merely strangling her waist, the bottom of that outfit shouldn't be all wonky.

>anything in BDO being player driven

...

How the FUCK does that happen? Is there a raid happening? This sorta thing would never happen in the official forums.
Are the fanboys actually dead?

Wait, I thought it was going to be on Adult Swim hence the Robot Chicken hat promotion thing. Can't imagine something like Expiration Date showing on daytime CN.

Yes, that's what overwatch is only good for, i tried the demo and thought the game was just another boring FPS online with all the cancerous microtransactions that free to play mobile games are known for.
I also don't understand why focusing on character design so much, if you are planning to make the game in first person, if it was a 3rd person MP game like uncharted online it would have benefited the game more imo.
But still, fuck Activision and their marxist agenda.

It was made in SFM with Blizzard assets yes

It's not that japanese culture is superior, is just that in japan they are not affected by the kikes the way we are, symple as that.

Sorry I meant Adult Swim

>waaah we need a 2017 version because reasons
Fuck all of you faggots. Starsiege Tribes never went anywhere and you fags continue to piss and moan about not having a good Tribes game anymore. Game is accessible as fuck.
Fuck your pussy shit, it's only dying because you lemmings want something shinier to look at. Fucking fight me, I dare you to find a better team based fast shootan.
I'm fucking surprised MIDAIR hasn't been sued for flat plaigarism of Starsiege considering that's what it wants to be with a ski button and bubblegum graphics.

okay is above average though

They stopped making vidya ages ago, now they just maintain Steam and add items other people have made for them for free into TF2.

I guess that depends on what you consider harmless.

I'm not sure what you're implying but that movie was fuckin great.

It was beautifully animated with great art direction, but the actual plot was kinda weak.

i havent' seen it myself yet but i don't mind it when things are made purely for aesthetics sake sometimes

It's Holla Forums's favorite animated movie and it is great. A lot of people use the term "Harmless" to just mean that it doesn't do anything special or different.

It was beautiful visually but it had a very "kids movie" sort of writing where things just happen because the person on the screen told you it JUST happened rather than having coherent and natural progression where you can make out things for yourself before the reveal.

I thought it was refreshing to have a fantasy story where there was almost nothing at stake. It was a personal revenge thing, at most a single village was threatened. Too much bullshit in theaters now where the threat is world-scale or larger and it's losing the weight it should have.

Those proportions had to have been intentional, but why? It's not exactly funny.

I'll vote for you user.

I was disappointed because the story the kid was telling at the beginning of them movie sounded like it'd make a better movie than the actual movie.

It looked beautiful though.

just watched it. it was great.

Spotted the tumblr dyke.

Do they pay you more if you get dubs, BIDF?

Uh-oh, guess you are a nigger who didn't enjoy func_vehicle back in the CS 1.6 days. Ding dong, you have the shittiest of tastes, you goon.
