That redesign was created by a Korean fan, a similar thing happened with the sequel. https://kotaku.com/once-again-some-japanese-gamers-dislike-the-look-of-mi-512420010

I dunno, that's a pretty crazy low price for Destiny 2, hell, it's the lowest I've seen any Activision game go on sale. Especially since, as I understand it, the game sold gangbusters on PC.

Hell, I didn't even like the beta and I'm tempted to get it, though only if my friends want to play.

He needs to just go back to being a level designer for first person shooters. Epic needs to finish up their new Unreal Tournament already, that still has a lot of work left on it.

No updates since June of last year. :negative:

Lawbreakers seemed good but to even put a dent in the dominance of Overwatch it needed to be amazing or, at the very least, free to play.

I do think that would have changed things some. Hell, I'm pretty sure it was announced as F2P.

At least in my brief experience with it it was zero fun to play. It was basically any standard slow rear end old MOBA except you had a third person action character instead of a mouse cursor. This could possibly be decent except everything you could do was still on cooldown timers, so there was more or less no benefit to it being third person.

Yeah, I'd thought it might finally be a MOBA for me from the early trailers but then I found out it trended way towards that genre than a shooter.

Well, looks like COD is back to modern-ish-but-not-really combat which means speed and movement in multiplayer FPS is back to where it was half a decade ago, save us Titanfall 3. :pray:

Also OW still has really low ttk for a lot of the cast and insanely sluggish movement without the sprint button most games have to compensate and a loving aimbot character lmao

I'm not just speaking from nostalgia, because I've only really started appreciating 90s-style FPS games more as I've grown older, but I honestly do think the arena shooter was the zenith of skill-based, competitive multiplayer. You had to have good movement skills as well as accuracy, map design was a lot more vertical and you had to know what spawned where, the majority of weapons weren't hitscan and each had different physics models, and, by and large, it was hard to kill an enemy in a single shot, meaning evenly matched players could duel it out throughout a level. Compare this to most modern, low-ttk shooters where it's all about who gets the drop on who and shoots first.

I got a TFSA when they were running a promotion for 2% interest for the next six months and now it's down to 1.1% but there aren't any charges and if there was a minimum it sure as hell wasn't 15k. Canadian here, guess it's different in the States. My regular savings did offer a garbage interest rate though, yeah, but I've closed that now.

For real, I've always felt the fine aim a mouse gives a twin-stick type game more than makes up for the slight loss of precision movement.

Anyways, I think twitchy arena shooters died because the genre moved on and because it isn't what most people want therefore it isn't what makes money. It's not like there haven't been multiple attempts to bring them back but people just ignore it

It's because they're wrong and have bad taste, OP

I'm in the "cook/bake her something nice" camp. Even if you don't regularly cook well, you should be able to find a fool-proof recipe for, like, brownies or something on the internet and as long as you follow it directly it should turn out all right.
