I believe it was Paladins was actually in development before OW but Blizzard got their game out first.

Project Titan was in development for a long time though.

Didn’t Paladins launch slightly before Overwatch? Or is the idea that the company saw Overwatch in development and rushed out a clone?

Overwatch was revealed in late 2014 and showed gameplay footage but had its closed beta launched a few weeks before Paladins in 2015. It was a reboot of Project Titan which was stuck in development hell for years. Paladins was revealed in 2015 and had a closed beta later that year. Hi-Rez said Paladins was in pre-production for years and revealed certain character archetypes before their counterparts in Overwatch.

When you come down to it, they both stole from Team Fortress 2 similar to Apple and Microsoft stealing from Xerox PARC.

WotS is a game concept I want to like but whenever I've tried it the actual gameplay has been just utterly dismal.

I remember being in awe of 1 when I first played but that was over 10 years ago so maybe I was the one who changed.

Heard that twitch gives out games constantly to prime members and went looking but i cant figure some stuff out:

Are the free twitch prime games part of an extra twitch membership or is it included in the amazon prime price?

I dont have a twitch account, is there a way to log in via amazon or link my amazon account to a new twitch account?

I'm pretty sure you just link your Amazon Prime account to your Twitch account and then you get the stuff under a crown-shaped button in the upper right. You have to use them through the Twitch launcher though.

i got a few games in steam sale.

pan-pan: looked like monument valley i love that arty puzzle poo poo
kingsway: roguelike RPG by way of Windows 3.1 interface
way of the samurai 3: from what i understand this is the only good WOTS on steam
painscreek killings: I love walking simulators and also detective games
republique: was always interested in this style of game
aliens vs predator: slowly collecting all the rebellion shootys
soma spirits: cute looking indie rpg
SIN Episodes: it was the first time on sale in forever and i needed to own a piece of gaming history. also it came with the original sin game?? that wasn't advertised
azure striker gunvolt: that mega man zero spiritual descendant by the inti creates team. never knew it was on PC (and in 60fps now)

i also got

west of loathing: probably not as funny as reviews say but i bet it'll be fun
ape escape 2: for the first time it was actually cheaper to get a PS2 game through PSN than through amazon sellers/ebay
okage shadow king: can't wait to push a lot of crates around
unfinished swan: can't wait to finish the swan

I wish someone would release the old Capcom AVP beat 'em up on digital

The free games with Amazon Prime have been awesome. For the first month they gave away Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun and I finished the game on there, but ended up buying it on Steam anyways because it was on sale and I loved the game a lot. I want to go back and play through it again if the developers can ever fix the obnoxious load times.

I really have no idea. Just a pointless dumb appreciation for classic Xbox games I guess because they took up a large amount of my gaming time in high school.

if you want to start a religious schism based around the question of "did our ancestral hero gently caress an elf?" then six ages might be the game for you

otoh it doesn't have characters run up to your face and shout "HEH. YOU THINK YOU'RE PLAYING A VIDEO GAME? WELL REALITY CHECK PAL: EVERY MINUTE YOU SPEND PLAYING THIS 'VIDEO GAME' IN YOUR WORLD WE GET MULTIPLE TRAINED SNIPERS WITH 300 CONFIRMED KILLS TRAINED ON YOUR HEAD IN OUR WORLD AND IF YOU DIE IN THIS GAME YOUR SOUL IS SCREWED FOR ALL ETERNITY.
