drat right he is. Seriously though, Battleborn is pathetic in every way and even pretending the characters there aren't the same exact garbage gearbox shits out onto the plates of their Brand Loyalists who just LOVE their godawful writing and deadpan 'fuckawesome' anti-humour is embarrassing. Please don't do this.

Roadhog is also a fetish character.

Lucio is great now I've worked out how to play him properly. Had a game where I managed to team up with a really good Reinhart and that payload got moved. I really want one of his hockey skins. Tracer gets better the more I use her, I think the enemy team was pretty bad but I had a match where I just flitted around the zone dodging everything and got one of my better objective time scores. Come to think of it, that team must have been bad, nobody came in to just rough me up. Also my favourite thing to do on defense is blast up to the enemy base at the start and wave at them through whatever window is there. And on attack, blasting the poo poo out of the place.

Broken Cog posted:I still like to play the game? I just feel it's such a waste with the characterization of the cast when Blizzard obviously has a ton of extremely competent game, sound and art designers. Not to mention I'm impressed with how smooth the game runs, and how few connection issues I've run into (even though the no kick for latency and 20-tick rate issues are a bit laughable), so their software and networking team deserves some recognition as well. The characters are also fun, you are the broken one.

Is cringe one of those words that the Internet deturps to the point it has no meaning whatsoever? Probably. Much like TF2 and any fighting game, all this game needed were easily recognizable, exaggerated characters. I think Blizzard accomplished that. Now, I don't know anything about Battleborn, but from design alone I can't really tell what each character's gimmick or personality is. Maybe it's better in game. Overwatch and TF2, I think it's pretty easy to just look at the roster and know kinda what they do. Even the female characters are okay. Sure, it's still half fighting supermodels if we're gonna be harsh on it, but at least they tried different, y'know, silhouettes. Most games can't even be bothered to do that.

when I loaded up the battleborn beta it was some gross asexual furry thing making a stupid loving face in surprise at the gun it had in its own hands. the characters like legit were just stupid poo poo done with some cut-up technique. hot dog in a mech who chainsmokes. goat with 6 arms. a big guy with a small head.

I've never played Battleborn so for all I know it could have superior gameplay to Overwatch, but the aesthetic is just less appealing to me by far and I don't see how anyone can say the characters are better and more varied. =/

Blizzard created and designed a cast that's incredibly diverse with many broad archetypes that appeal to children and teenagers with just enough backstory and characterization that anyone who enjoys the base character can take it and attach their own characterization and quirks to it without contradicting or betraying the base character. One boy will get invested in Jack Morrison's heroics, another will be excited about Soldier: 76's ruthless vigilantism. The characters are cartoony yet detailed, peppered with loads of silly quotable lines that people can shout at each other, and all are highly recognizable. Overwatch, consequently, has become an instant classic, with droves upon droves of memes and fanart and fanfiction and cosplay and lore discussion and enthusiasm and excitement and investment, capturing the loyalty of an entire new generation of starry-eyed gamers right when the previous, aging generation is finding other occupations with their life. And the game was released barely more than a week ago. Obese early thirties manchildren with no goals and no prospects in life: "Blizzard's writing and characters suck!!!"

Last night Genji finally “clicked” for me. After many games of trying and failing to play him successfully, something finally shifted in my brain and suddenly I had tons of success and fun with him and now I never want to play anyone else. Everyone talks about reflecting Bastion? gently caress that, killing McCree with his own ult is the best thing. Or headshotting Widowmakers / Hanzo with their own projectiles. There’s just so much fun poo poo to be had.

People think Gearbox writing is good, writing I will remind you which is written by a loser who bullied his wife into an open relationship, couldn't get laid while his wife hosed the whole town, got jealous, complained about it on twitter and got dumped. People who like gearbox writing should be shot.

I now love playing Genji on Defense because jumping and climbing behind the attacker team and harassing them to no end is the best. Whenever I'm not a turretman I just go ninja and make everyone waste time trying to get me. He's peak rear end in a top hat along with Tracer.

Everything you said is true and I love playing overwatch and watching competitive overwatch and I imagine I'll be playing the game for a long time. In addition to that, their comics and shorts have pretty bad writing.

^ - If it's about not having fun in online shooters, then I'll definitely fit right in.  Knifegrab posted:People think Gearbox writing is good, writing I will remind you which is written by a loser who bullied his wife into an open relationship, couldn't get laid while his wife hosed the whole town, got jealous, complained about it on twitter and got dumped. More like Stillborn. Gearbox's poison studio is making Steam too loving crowded. (I liked the second Brothers in Arms game though.)

It should be okay to still leave blanks but for some reason every videogame thinks it needs some sort of overarching story and as such I bemoan the death of player-authored narrative and wish for a swift execution.

Well, having an overarching story helps with developing interesting characters, because you can contextualize them in a world and connect them. I do think people go in too hard on ludo-narrative dissonance when they shouldn't tho. i mean nice meltdown
