God damn that model in the screenshot really does look like shit. Getting more obvious that the game has origins on PS3. Great game though! I’ll finish Endwalker one of these days (pc). And yes I use ACT like everyone else, but I don’t talk about it and use it to make sure I’m pulling my weight. 

I honestly do not think Blizzard knows what Overwatch 2 is yet.

Overwatch does not require FPS skill, it has plenty of shields and healing and teamwork requirements and classes that, in mid level play, you don’t have to be a shooting game guy to enjoy it.

I think they look way, way worse and can’t wait to disable all that awful glow stuff. This is the first time where I would probably have been more sensationalist than a Kotaku editor. 

Overwatch 2 will not use a new game engine, this was quietly announced a few months after the claim. Consequently, it means that pro players will stick with games like Valorant that not only have better anticheat, but lower latency and system demand.

After the game goes live, you will no longer need OW installed to…

The new graphics engine was scrapped for OW2, however they’re making a new in-house game engine for all of their future projects. So, yeah Overwatch 2 is just a big Overwatch patch. They have yet to provide any reason the project is worth while for PVE gamers.

It’s a bad time when your director leaves during the most pivotal time in project development.

Can’t make Gabe and co give a shit about anything but Steam and hardware their projects come and go and largely get scrapped. I’m in many ways grateful that there’s so few Half-Life entries, it means that the ones we have are precious. So many series get deluded with useless shitty entries.

I’ve played each one several times, it’s not a pissing contest, we can have differing favorites. I think Mafia 3 is the best. James Ballard (the priest character) stole the show and won my imagination. I was immersed.

The best Mafia is Mafia 3. I will die on this hill. One of the best narratives in an open world game (besides perhaps Sleeping Dogs). 

The problem is even if it’s free, it’s just a smaller helping of what we already had. They didn’t raise the bar in any significant way, in fact they took things away.

If I want a Halo fix lately I just revisit the Master Chief Collection. They’re failing a competition against themselves. It’s not just a “rest of the…

It’s a goddamned shame that they never brought back Father Grigori and Ravenholm, it was a legendary and graceful tonal shift with a short story about a very intriguing man. Very rare in First Person Shooters.

This one is really just frivolous greedy fucks suing each other before a major buyout and happens routinely during major acquisitions. Their hands are just as bloody. This one will probably settle out of court.

I got confused.

All of those things I said, just Google the words. It’s genuinely hilarious.

Oh damn if I could still edit it would be added that’s the biggest of them all!

You know what the exception to this rules are? Apex Legends Arena mode, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Honorable mention to R6: Siege which somehow still has legs despite being an Ubisoft game.

Brother I think you’re just tired of Call of Duty, not their settings. 

I mean, that was a huge part of it for a lot of my friends. Playing as Snoop Dogg and burning someone with a blunt before a character from Attack on Titan pops in and shoots with you his 8-bit anime tracers and uses body pillow finisher in a historical WW2 setting is... jarring. It just looks aesthetically ugly,…

Fair!
