Overwatch - It's Actually a Trick To Make Everyone Play HotS, also BUY - Games

[QUOTE=Everything;52316121]To be fair, they do try harder than most to make the crazy stuff that goes on in that world more believable. The distinction between omnics and generic robots, for example. Omnics are what happens when robots get smart enough to build themselves generationally, iterating and improving with each generation.[/QUOTE] Yeah, its weird how they try to make a believable sci-fi world that has explanations for some of the outrageous stuff, but not all.

That's exactly it though. Who cares about how practical it is to use a revolver with generic bullets or if the model is wrong for fanning when there are robots who build generations of themselves or talking monkeys with moon colonies.

[QUOTE=EuSKalduna;52312819]Internet dies in comp match Rejoin in time to lose offence Win defense decisively, win match Still got suspended Fuck you blizzard[/QUOTE] DAMMIT NOT AGAIN

[QUOTE=EuSKalduna;52316215]DAMMIT NOT AGAIN[/QUOTE] How long does it suspend you for?

in china it's now illegal to sell gambling items in videogames (lootboxes), so for the china equivalent of $40 the chinese can purchase 120 coins and you'll get 40 lootboxes as a free gift.

Getting so bored/frustrated with dive meta So many teams want to play dive but it always ends up dive vs. dive where playing support means you're going to spend the whole game dead as your team abandons you repeatedly. I just wanna chainheal some hogs and reins behind a nice safe barrier, is that too much to ask?? It has made me so much better with my sleep darts though

They would rather make loopholes to still sell lootboxes then to give the consumers a reliable way to buy the stuff they want.

[QUOTE=Wulfram;52316076]Because videogame. It is really ridiculous how we're in this magical futuristic setting were there's robot people, seemingly limitless energy, giant mech suits, buildings can be built out of thin air, and yet there's still a vigilante cowboy that uses just a revolver and he is very effective. [/QUOTE] Hey, cosplay is the future! [QUOTE=MissingGlitch;52316327]IMO this is really scummy.

I wish that Blizzard could shell out some money for some decent character interactions. It's like a sweets bag with no real fun in it. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yK9ya1vZZcU[/media]

...Except for every fucking line between Talon and any member of Overwatch. I mean, it could be better, but holy shit way to cherry pick two characters that are actually romantically interested in one another

All that Ana has to say to the woman that took out her fucking eye, forced her into retirement, and almost killed her is a stupid joke about her not wanting an autograph

[QUOTE=Zeos;52316506]...Except for every fucking line between Talon and any member of Overwatch. I mean, it could be better, but holy shit way to cherry pick two characters that are actually romantically interested in one another[/QUOTE] The only characters with any energy or personality to them (consistently, most characters have at least one good line) are Roadhog, Junkrat, Reinhardt, and Torbjorn. Talon characters are basically just "I'm gonna kill/shoot/hack you, grrrr". The voice lines are half decent (like how most of Reaper's are pop culture references that imply this tortured edgelord ghost enjoys AC/DC and Predator), but character interactions are seriously lacking.

He's currently the only anti dive hero who actually works, albeit in a frustrating way. Dive is about to get a lot more powerful with him out of the picture.

New PTR update, rumor is that hog can combo again.... ffs

[/Quote] This is between characters who should by rights hate each other, don't get me started on the endless stream of "Wow [hero's name] you're great!" "Wow [other hero's name] you're great too!". There are a few choice pieces of decent banter. But overall the writing is weak as fuck, largely because Blizzard don't have the balls to have heroes say anything mean, or generally emote any kind of real disdain for characters that should be their sworn enemies.

Not a fan of any of the junk legendaries tbh, barring MAYBE junkestein. Scarecrow just looks weird as shit, esp with those eye things. And the jester skins go completely against his visual design with a set of ornate, undamaged clothes. I'll never truly like any junkrat skin that doesn't look like it's been blown up and lit on fire a few times. And the face paint looks weird.

[QUOTE=zipziggy;52317004]New PTR update, rumor is that hog can combo again.... ffs[/QUOTE] PTR hog could always combo to some degree. Anyone who says otherwise either cannot play hog or hasn't actually played PTR. [QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;52317031]wtf is this does d'va like guess people's password on facebook and write racist shit about black people or something[/QUOTE] I think the bigger issue is that Sombra gave her a flat answer. That seems really out of character, and a missed opportunity for some humor.
