If you read the comments of the people complaining about Sigma. They all just want a bland drama grandpa figure rather than an actual character

It must be comfortable, living in a world where you think people are constantly lying about their problems.

People offended by this should just stop playing Overwatch and play some better games. Like Batman Arkham Asylum, Americam McGee’s Alice, Outlast, Dementium and Manhunt 2.

Look.

Welcome to Kotaku lol

Oh noooooo

This is a non issue. Hes an evil mad man and this costume does not represent the state of mental health in our world. All the characters in Overwatch are stereotypes. Except Winston and Hammond because im not sure how you stereotype a hamster and a gorilla.

I think what irked me most about all this is that they knew before publishing this blog post that it was written in a way that would upset people. The email newsletter that went out at the same time suggested as much.

So in a nutshell they’re telling us, “We care more about the money we’re getting from the deal rather than what the people who buy our games think.”

The first sections are fine, ‘We are an Epic exclusive because Epic promised us a lot of money’. Great, that’s hard to turn down, we understand.  ‘Now we and our families feel more secure.’ Well good.

Yes, yes - you're one of your cool, enlightened gamers. The regular gamers are beneath you. If only we could all live up to your ideal.

You’re upset about all this, but not the fact that her entire body can roll up into the shape of a donut hole? Com on now.

Eviscerate is objectively worse.

This has all the hallmarks of playing to the Chinese market.

You certainly sound like a really fun person.

Unsurprising. Blizzard has been Disney-fying all of their IPs since the Activision merger. The day they gave taurens big, cartoony eyeballs was the day they sounded the death-knell for providing anything more mature than PG-13 blockbuster edginess. They’ve dumbed themselves down and safed-up so much to appeal to mass…

That sounds EXTREMELY like a “you” problem. When someone searches the genre category in steam for a new metroidvania to play, it’s because they know what that kind of game is like, and want a new one. When a new Kickstarter claims their game will be a metroidvania, they are giving their potential backers a bunch of…

Nobody outside of gaming is going to know what FPS, MOBA, Platformer, MMO, RPG, JRPG, RTS or most any genre term we use without a sentence or two of explanation. It’s not showing off how ‘into gaming’ you are, it’s a more specific genre that we don’t HAVE a better phrase for, so we use that. I’m fine with someone not…

nah, I saw when Jeremy Parrish coined the term. It really was an earnest attempt to describe a genre as precisely as could be done at the time.

I actually just played Symphony for the first time recently. (It came out in the gap between my adolescent heyday of SNES and picking up video games again after college.) It’s basically SuperMetroid with a Castlevania skin and some Final Fantasy elements introduced on the back-end.
