I think the hardest part of this game isn't the hero draft, it's the player draft

Like which of the 800 people on my friends list who are going to be playing this game should I group with and how do I do so without hurting other people's feelings

This hasn't been a problem before because apparently I've never had more than 5 friends who all liked the same game before

i have spent a lot of time letting people know exactly where they stand in my heart in comparison to others in preparation for this moment

TF2 is a clusterfuck of what the gently caress. I tried to play it the other day to feed my need for overwatch and it was... just a mess.

it started off being very simple & balanced like this game, the over watch. it is hard to missmanage competitive vgames harder than vavle llc tho, so do not fear

I feel bad for the people who worked on Battleborn, but what were they thinking? They're going to release right against Blizzard and expect people to flock to their game?

it is a very blatant attempt at money laundering because literally no element of it works well and there is no way it would have gotten past anyone with either a brain or eyeballs and greenlit for release

or, y'know, people are capable of making a mediocre game

the aliens colonial marines thing seems like it was money laundering or something going on there. but battleborn was made by an actual team with actual resources.

i look at this competitive team-based shooter and think, yes, but what about the tragic backstory of hero archetype 'sniper'? I want to feel a deep connection to what in other games would be a gun i choose from a drop-down menu. i want to feel their struggles as my own and carry the weight of reaper's choices as i open a loot crate and dress him up like a mariachi

Speaking of overarching story. Is there ever given any reason for why the Overwatch cast are fighting each other? Even in TF2 there was one, even if it was just "There are two big corporations fighting over gravel. They hire mercs to fight for them". In Overwatch it just seems so... weird, since I don't think the crew are mercs.

i do not know if there is a polite way to say this, but I truly feel that people like you should be loaded into comically large cartoon canons and shot into the sun

I don't think it's fair to criticize someone for asking for a narrative explanation for gameplay conceits when the game's creator seems inordinately preoccupied with said narrative.

this game was cobbled together from the pieces of a game where such questions might have been applicable. they are churning out low-effort stories & lore because they have bored artists and an engine and they want to sell bobble heads

Even more than that, people underestimate the zeitgeist that Advent Children went on to capture, with both TV anime and OVAs gathering a larger and older audience than either had at any other point in time in the West. It's really no surprise that people always assume that the characters in VII act like their Advent Children counterparts rather than what they were actually like.

as a chaos gamer, i play with a different set of win conditions than what the game imposes upon me. it is imperative to me and those of my kind to make the enemy understand that i am good, and they are bad, and that as a result the game was quite easy

You missed the point altogether, but your troll falls flat. In case I'm wrong maybe what I should've said was if that really gets you upset then perhaps you're being over-sensitive about a dumb video game with ape scientists.

Besides, my friends in voice chat already know me as a huge pussy.
