When will this stupid shitty fad of uninspired cartoony zany characters and Reddit/Portal humour end?

When will this stupid shitty fad of uninspired cartoony zany characters and Reddit/Portal humour end?


Just watch the first Battleborn video on its Steam page, it has it all.

WoW started the cartoony overdone cancer and ruined fantasy art, Portal founded Reddit humour. Two cancers that now are almost omnipresent in the monthly shovelware moba tripe, but sadly also spread to other genres.

When will this trash end?

It isn't healthy to get this obsessed over mediocrity user.

What the fuck is Battleborn. I don't even want an answer

Sage because this
Seems useless in discussing reddit

While I understand where you're coming from, you're also being pretty narrow-minded.

For every "zany characters" game, there's at least ten serious business games.

Go play those instead? It's not hard. I sure as fuck didn't drop any money to play those games.

Holy shit, it looks so stupid. It fucking gets me every time.

I know it's not all games, but it's such a shitty lazy style. The Portal humour is the worst, it's cringe-worthy at best and outright enraging at worst.


Noice

The bitching and moaning about it is getting just as exhausting as the game's themselves. No matter from what angle it's coming from, you end up having to hear about the games.

That may be so, but there are people who enjoy that kind of stuff.
Let them have their shit and eat it.
You can't stop it either way.

yea but would you a mercy

Soon.

Man, so stupid is an understatement. Plus he's got those HUGE arms and hands and those little legs and feet, making the whole thing even more retarded and unbalanced. There's nothing inherently wrong with the big strong guy thing, but even they need a certain degree of relative internal proportionality, you know?

I tell ya, there's just no winning. The generic realism most games use is bad because it's generic realism that at best, totally wastes the creative visual potential of video game designs. And usually it's wasted potential and makes everything uglier than real life at the same time. Either way, real life gives me enough realism, thank you very much. But when games do something else these days, they're totally stupid in a different way like in OP, so I'm screwed either way. We have the best graphics ever and they're wasted on the worst art direction ever, it sucks. I'm sick of just tolerating the art direction of games at best. This is NOT the future I imagined when I pictured how cool games would look eventually.

Slightly unrelated, but maybe Overwatch related.

Do you think viral marketers might be promoting their games with SFM porn, or may be doing so in the future?

Because I've seen way more porn of Overwatch than I have of gameplay, and for the briefest moment yesterday I thought of buying it for the girls before I came to my senses.

we had this thread like 6 times this week with the same result
both of them are COD with a moba elements

now if you want porn you shill get in here >>>/vp/7753

don't comeback

I thought they were TF2 clones?

Get the fuck out of here OP.

Maybe because the game doesn't officially launch for another 2.5 weeks

I wasn't gonna get involved but…

If by personality you mean "Le reddit maymays", zany whacko so funnay character and Joss Whedon shitty quip-based everyone is a snowflake writing the yes.

See I had no idea. How in the fuck is so much porn already? Some of the 3D models in SFM porn I've seen already have fully modeled orifices.

Maybe I'm just underestimating how desperately horny everyone was for these characters.

Note that I said "trying".

OP is bitching about games taking this approach at all, not just the ones that don't do it particularly well.

You can trace back all that porn and SFM to their specific artists.
While the game might be crap the females are well designed, so stop being a paranoid retard.

Hello there christcuck.

How long did it take for people to start seriously making TF2 clones? Even the literal Chinese knockoff came out ages ago.

Yeah, it is weird. I saw those characters first in 3D porn and initially assumed some 3D porn animator finally showed some initiative and modeled some OCs. The designs didn't really wow me much but still kudos for trying. Only later found out they were from some game. I've never seen porn jump the gun by that much. Or maybe I was just paying attention that little?

I might have indirectly asked this in every other thread

Are there any of these games that are as good as Global Agenda or Monday Night Combat, or are similar to Gigantic but not a windows 10 exclusive?

How?
When will the fad end?

Fucking Pokemon games have porn of newly announced pokemon within an hour. Considering the models got ripped months ago, it's hardly surprising.

Because we're infested with stupid cunts from Reddit that can't figure out how to use the catalog and soak up marketing like the retarded sponges they are.

this kind of humor has always been a thing. you arent gonna shit on ratchet and clank for it are you?

Yeah sure thing friend.

Trying my ass, they do this because they know it's the easiest way to get the normalfags that swarmed the industry since 2007 to get hooked on it.

The shitty uninspired cartoony artstyle is less detailed and requires less work, which is the only reason they use it. Before it was brown and bloom, now they've noticed they can get away with shitty models and just call it stylized.

You know user they don't make these games for us you know. Just look at that pink haired bull dyke in the ow pic and all the male's are malformed except for the non white guys (samurai and gunslinger who I think is mexican)

McCree is practically Red Harlow from Red Dead: Revolver, he's white as fuck you paranoid faggot.

Haha, video games, woo!

Ignorance is never a virtue whether it's regarding good or bad things.

Never!
It's the moeshit of videogames and it's brilliant!

what does this even mean? is it a new buzzword for "things I don't like"?

If I had strong opinions on MLP characters, you'd think less of me, and be justified in doing so.

when does the narwhal bacon good sir over 900 the cake is a lie

You haven't played it, then. Just because it's colorful and humorous doesn't mean it's the same pleb-tier humor and shit designs.

They probably mean references (followed by the "I understood that reference" gif), but then they shove it together with Portal, which was a game with zero references outside of its own series.

Portal and it's sequel weren't cringey messes like what borderlands has become, it was simply too memorable for its own good
the game caught on, its humor spread, and a bunch of internet browsing mongoloids took it in an entirely different direction
I know "quirky" has become the new go to setting, and I'm sure it's partly portal's fault that it caught on so much, but that's only because it was done so well there

The first game wasn't, the second game was.
Don't tell me there isn't a tonal difference between
And

Look at pre hat TF2.
Every character had a unique personality and design and they still managed to have a unified design.
Even if you never new about half the cast you would still be able to tell they were TF2 characters.
Someone could say all the chars of battleborn were cameos from other franchises and it would be perfectly plausible if you didn't know better.

you fucking inbreds should step away from the keyboard

the tones different because the characters are fundamentally different
honestly you could have just given one of glados' later quotes from 2 and I'd have a harder time arguing since her character changes so drastically from 1 to 2
Cave was a man unaccustomed to losing, losing in the worst way had him give that little speech in an attempt to show that he still had power
was it a bit silly? yes
did it become that game's "cake is a lie"? unfortunately
but I still think it was once again taken out of context and just turned into a "penguin of doom" joke rather than being one from the start
the closet thing to what you may be getting at is Wheatley, and even he didn't go TOO far, at least in my opinion


christ is there anything you actually find funny?

I didn't even knew thar Battleborn existed until i started to see it popping up here every day, good job shilling crap for free.

The whole sequel was a joke.
The atmosphere of the first was all about this paper thin facade that hides sinister cruelty and the whole game was designed around it.
Then it was ruined with unbelievable stupid shit like cave johnson, the "funny" core and dragged out film logic narrative.

Portal I was top notch in the Quality over quantity department.
Portal 2 on the other hand was a forgettable "lolsorandum" reddit tier trainwreck, at least the gameplay was kinda fun (but way too easy).

Your post doesn't address anything I said.
You just make a statement about your opinion and call me an inbred.

Gearbox shits up an already shit game that is Battleborn

Wheatley was pure garbage, user. His whole existence was just one giant excuse to have "witty" dialogue read to the player in a British accent, because if it was in any other accent then self-loathing white faggots wouldn't be as receptive to it. There's a relevant clip talking about this in Nu-Simpsons that I saw here once, and I think it was even concerning the same VA. I seem to recall it also taking that point completely seriously and not seeing the irony in doing so, which made me want to die.

...

That's fucking retarded. People are allowed to have opinions on whatever they want. I think less of people who have uninformed opinions. If you like something or hate something but don't actually know anything about it, you're an idiot.


Wheatley was raw pandering to the teenage girls who get hot and wet over Sherlock and Dr. Who

The pinnacle of modern day British "wit"
