Paladins is a vastly superior game to Overwatch, in terms of both mechanics and art style.
This is known as "damning with faint praise."
So far courts have found you can't copyright short dance moves, just a full dance routine.
Honesty it would be absolutely horrible if corporations could copyright short movements.
Flossing being copyrighted by actual floss companies would be simultaneously hilarious and terrifying. That's like alternate universe Nineteen Eighty-Four where Big Brother is "Hip" and "With It" and instead of forced workout routines they're forced dance routines.
There will come a day when tf2 has no developers working on it, which is absolutely what Exor considers "dead" to mean. It could technically take 100 years (it won't) but to act like tf2 just won't die is beyond delusional, guys. It could be soon. It could not be soon. But you can't say it's not going to happen.
The same is true of player counts. There will come a day when nobody is playing tf2. Come on guys.
idk, im really scared if they end the comics like that one 4chan post said it was. I really dont want it to end in a very "okay everything is over now and this is now the definitive end of tf2 and how it ends forever"
come on guys tf2 died when they added the dangeresque too.
It was reborn when they literally just added batman helmets
Yes well I’m sure that’s what they said after people started playing chess, and look where we are now.
The original devs are literally dead, and there hasn’t been a pawn update in nearly 1,000 years.
Think theres a pretty big jump between a boardgame and a PC game.
Pretty big? I'm surprised he's alive, he basically jumped over the Grand Canyon with that comparison. It's eerily similar in comparison to people that say "well Hitler was XYZ". Yeah, and?
Chess was a revolutionary board game. There hasn't been a single game as impactful in the history of videogames as Chess. Maybe Pac-Man. Maybe Super Mario Brothers.
but it already happened for mvm
here's gray mann and he died. the end. who cares about olivia
It's Valve's trademark humor and subversion of expectations.
csgo just got their holiday update despite recovering from another massive update hehe
At this point I fully expect either a case or, well, nothing at all. If it were on the scale of a Jungle Inferno and worth waiting over 400 days for, I'm pretty sure we would have had Day 1 by now.
Yeah, gonna have to agree with Exor here. If the team is working on something, unless they're crazy and want to work through the entire christmas break that all other companies, especially game dev companies, get, we would have gotten something at this point. It's way too close for the update to be any more than a case and maybe a few bugfixes. If a big update dropped in a week or so, there'd literally be a week or two where bug are just running wild.
for someone that has been with the game since 1994 you should very much know that "day 1 on monday" updates are not the usual and you can ring the pessimism bell wednesday nite at earliest, with even that potentially being too early
Updates in the past without week-long update events didn't drop after droughts lasting longer than 400 days.
I'm giving it til at least Wednesday, maybe Thursday before I give up on seeing an update this year.
man i remember when this was the actual sentiment
it was a while before i actually had a pc capable of playing the game myself but i do remember keeping up to date on it very vaguely and i remember that being a hilarious discussion topic
We’re going to get an update, it’s just going to be a puny cosmetic case like last year and nothing much in the way of actual bug fixes or balance repair.
And Valve is going to wait until the very last possible moment to release it, because why not? It's tough picking cosmetics.
TF2 died when A Stout Shako was not actually worth 2 refined anymore.
Anybody still got that post? Was it the one that was a total "kill em all?".
Chess took a long time to get to where it is now, though. Remember early patches when it was still called The King's Game? Remember the Tafl mod by those Scandinavian guys. Euuuurgh.
Seriously though Super Mario Bros invented a new genre, one that is 100% unique to videogames as a medium. I´d say that is just as important.
Please stop.
just wanted to chime in on the whole "tf2 will die" thing with a little sidenote.
currently the australian comp scene has seen a massive resurgence of teams coming back from overwatch, many of whom dedicated themselves to ow for at least 3-4 years.
I'm not gonna pretend that 6's is even close to what many fell in love with in tf2 (myself included), but I think it speaks to some magical quality tf2 has. I've been queuing in casual matchmaking the past few weeks and honestly forgot just how fun tf2 is, from every class and dumb weapon to the weirdly genius map design that is turbine. What other first person shooter do you know has shit like "friendly hoovies"?
this game wasn't built on freedom of expression but that's somehow how it turned out imo. Fortnite's success should be at least somewhat attributed to it's similarities to tf2, to the amount of dumb weird shit you can do.
as long as 2 people are left in the world that want to duel, quake will never die. comparatively, as long as people are willing to jump in a server and whine about there being no medics, tf2 will never die. If tf2 is ever dead to you, the memories and friends you made along the way will always be there.
get a room you two
I honestly don´t know which response to pick.
