I can't imagine a scenario in Overwatch where I would altogether stop playing because of what some random said in chat. Maybe that's a thing now in today's outrage culture where people look for anything to get offended by? The only people I've muted so far have been little kids and guys playing loud music in the background. Fun game, will continue to play for a long time.
Awwwww SHIT DEMO DERBY IS UP

I tried to find the last Saturday there wasn't content on but as I reached the beginning of April I figured there are better things to do with my time.
Granted a couple of them just had a Best of Giant Bomb video but it's still content.
Oh shit. Assumed that would be up the usual time of Sunday night, which annoyingly means Monday in Europe.

I think I've only seen like 10 people who have been a little shitty (it was also mainly about Bastion) and I'm also around 10 hours so it's really not been bad at all. I think I've actually seen more positive comments so far, there has been a lot of gg/wp, advice to new players and just general positive comments when a match is going well.

Get out of here with that "outrage culture" bullshit. You know that internet communities can be really disgusting given the opportunity.
Not saying that Overwatch in particular has gone there (I wouldn't know).

I bought Overwatch last night explicitly because about seven other friends of mine were all playing at the same time. Hopefully the amount of random people I team up with is minimal at all times

I'm not saying the internet isn't a huge tire fire, because it is for the most part. But to me it seems like many people go out of their way to find the worst parts of it and then joyously proclaim that they can't believe what they just found. It isn't bullshit but it does happen all the time and it has formed the mindset for a generation. You should play Overwatch. It's fun.
Don't get me wrong, I don't like to lose but I have zero friends with Overwatch and have been on horrible teams (such as one team that thought "Hey, three of us should be Lucio since these two other people are Widowmaker and Mercy!") however I have so much fun just playing it that I don't really get upset all that much about those kind of things. I also haven't ran into any shitheads with mics on PS4 which is super surprising.
The term "outrage culture" is dismissive of a lot of problems. Probably not the best thing to throw around.

I was kind of bummed to see the latest DD is a 360 demo disc, but Jesus Christ, Jeff was on fire for a majority of the video.
As someone who played a lot of that on the 360, let me tell you that it was no better there.
Thanks to people like me.

I wonder if any of the GB crew will try SMTIV Apocalypse. I don't think any of them played the last one.
As a game though, it's a pretty boring TPS with a couple interesting ideas that don't really pan out.
They actually already did this!
I've only played Lost Planet 3; the story itself isn't the most interesting thing, but the quality of the storytelling, the acting, and the cinematics is superb. Nice soundtrack too. Jack Wall also made a bunch of space western music for the in game radio.

Satellite internet. Trust me, I would be playing the fuck out of Overwatch if I could.
What an amazing game brought down by scum.
They work like 10 minutes away from a bowling alley. Like one of those high scale bowling alleys, but still bowling.

The KOF '98 Ultimate Match intro song is a real hot jam.

Holy crap did lost planet have such a garbage framerate in the actual game?
I almost didn't even want to like Lucio in Overwatch, but that is a fun ass character to play, especially for a healer class. Just had maybe the best single match performance I've had with my 2nd time playing as him. I can see what Jeff means when he was talking about how having to play a healer isn't a bummer here.
Beats the shit out of the Medic in TF2.

They seriously spent over twenty minutes on that flower.
Just cheat if you want to cheat, guys. It sure beats mashing a button for 20 minutes and getting nothing out of it.
But can they stop you from enjoying something? Similar thinking as "I don't like popular thing because the fans are blegh"

Really liking Reaper, it's been fun as hell blasting people then phasing out and repositioning when overwhelmed.
Match 3 had a good segment on this.

Look at the edgelord here! He thinks he's so awesome with his mask and trench coat!
Reapers pretty cool! I wish people didn't make fun of me for picking him.

You pick reaper?
Pffft.
I tend to avoid all the assault classes. Mostly because more often than not everyone just picks them and runs around while our objective is getting jacked. Also boring.

My favourite is when the team has two (or three...) snipers and one of them says "someone go tank"

To be fair I did win a match in a 5 widowmaker + d.va team for 1 round and then 5 tracers for the 2nd.
First time playing either too.

Holy shit that Lost Planet 2 demo runs at like 12 frames per second at points.
This isn't as good as PS1 demo discs though.

I have a feeling they will get Nintendo spot on. I'd wager 75%.
In my experience, people who "main" snipers in FPS' are usually garbage people. And I'm saying this as someone who has spent a quarter of his time playing Overwatch as Hanzo.

First 30 seconds of Demo Derby are great.
If they JUST cheated instead of do that I wouldn't have had as many laughs.

That'll probably never happen, but at least the PS3/360 versions are good.

I like how every potg with Hanzo is him looking at a wall and spaming dragon.
And it's almost always on the losing team.
Isn't it always uploaded after the conferences are done?

Man they really made Reaper hatable, huh? Any way to mute him from saying DIE DIE DIE?

Last weeks? Didn't really understand where he was coming from. Vinny got out to the way so that they could hire some young blood. GB hired three people in their 30s.

As someone who got play of the game as Hanzo without using that stupid dragon, I disagree
Oh, so it replaces the bombcast.
