Blizzard still knows how to make fun games, which of course is important. However they've lost that knack for story telling and narrative polish. SC2 and Diablo 3 come to mind.

No, they only know how to make eye candy now. Engaging and meaningful gameplay has been gone for a while.

I actually do kind of agree on this point. I tried to get into D3, but I just couldn't.

when were blizzard games about story

When the game manual was a physical booklet filled with story fluff and detailed back story on every kind of item and power.

I thought I disagreed with the "TF2 has good humor and stuff" posts until I realized I actually liked all the stuff they put out until I subscribed to r/tf2 (yeah yeah) and saw tons of lovely POOTUS SANDVICH

Also agreed that the TF2 aesthetic is unique and good as opposed to "wow ninjas and monkeys" but everyone knows Blizzard has a twelve year old boy's idea of what's cool

I'm not sure if it was the original Terran marine or Raynor concept art that looked like a middle school notebook scribble with way cool skulls and leather bits and stuff

You mean like this?



I actually miss that art style Blizzard used to use all the time.

I decided to not buy Overwatch today but did think about Tracer porn because of this thread. Women with short hair are my thing. Redheads and British Isles accent a bonus.

I did finally get Hexen and I have the expansion on its way here. I am filling up my Id/Raven game collection of whatever weird relationship they had.

I'm thinking about Return to Castle Wolfenstein or the Quake 1-2 mission packs I don't have yet. No cgi chicks porking but much cheaper to buy and I can just enjoy the solo content till I get bored. Since I did Counterstrike and Team Fortress Classic back in the Voodoo 5 days and I'm pretty done with pointless multiplayer.

My life is all the pointless I need.

All of those are legit, but Hexen bugs out at like, 2 key points if you aren't careful. All great for coop.

proof of concept posted:

In 2016, Blizzard Entertainment released an fps in which you can only change your mouse sensitivity using a slider that doesn't even display the exact value it's on.

They have also said they hope this fps will become a popular "competitive esport" game.

"Look at all these games that are getting super popular lately. I want me some o' dat since the WoW gravy train slowed down a little. Slap some poo poo together, folks!"

Shockingly enough, esports is a joke where you're either blatantly cheating or getting coddled by the balance team

In cs go it's hilarious how hard players defend a hacker by saying "He's just that good." When high profile top professional players get caught cheating, what's to stop the many thousands of random nobodies with dozens of throwaway accounts from doing it?

Even funnier, that same guy later in the match was banned during the game due to confirmation of hacking.

Makes me think of planetside, where winning and losing doesn't seem to really ever matter. Can say the same for most games, but most games let you feel like you reached some kind of end, but the unending feel of it all makes it seem insignificant.

welp guys i decided to look into this game because of all the hubbub but i searched and searched through the steam store to no avail! then i start asking questions and apparently the company that makes this games thinks its too good for steam? all i can say is "what a bunch of dumb morons", tell me when they wise up and get with the times

Doesn't blizzard sell all of their poo poo exclusively on their own?

If that's the chubby school girl one, I guess she's hot because of low standards and the allure of attainability.
