Because those are things a fighting game should have at launch and not just the barebones shit at full price?
because we still haven't reached the point where we can make hair look believable, so physics still have a ways to go
One launched smoothly and the other was a broken mess.

It's apples to oranges.
Better than before but I haven't really played it since the last update.
One was launched complete with all its intented features and all of them working properly?
People don't like fighting games and don't want to admit it.
Also SFV launched with a season pass that has been useless, too early and had problems that were highlighted since the betas. Beta characters were turning into boring husks of their previous versions. Like vanilla SFV ryu is good but beta 1 ryu was doing stuff that is fucking insane, linking moves after his overhead, instant stun projectiles with v trigger
Overwatch had mei really bad and they buffed her and they continued to fix their games, they're promising new content which is free but they're not setting up an impossible roadmap. Also they're in contact with their players way better, we've heard more balance changes and future changes coming from blizzard in 2 weeks than what we've heard of capcom in 3 months
I don't really play ranked anymore but BL works great against friends, use lan cables when you're playing fg guys pls

Man... I let my premium sub lapse for a day and suddenly they spring a Total Warhammer video on me.
wtf Giant Bomb.
Remember Me has legit amazing world/environment design. It's one of the only games I wandered around looking at the scenery, really trying to take it in. It's clear they put a lot of effort into making a believable world, with a history and everything.
I ended up liking RM way more than I ever would've guessed. Only got it from a bundle... would've written it off Just Another Mediocre Title from what I saw of the QL.
Also, lootboxes. Just imagine if SFV had them--there would be hell to pay.

One is the second coming of the Hero Shooter, and the other is the 20th-ish rendition of a hit fighting game.

Was there a first coming off the hero shooter?

Didn't they announced a while ago that they were taking a break this year?
I don't pay attention to AC news :/
I feel like I heard that at some point but not sure if this was this year.
Remember Me has its issues, sure, but the world, the art direction, and the visual quality (especially on consoles) are all fantastic. The lighting, the reflections, Nilin's natural looking hair animations (compete with actual wet looking hair that sticks to her forehead), the physicality based rendering* (on PS3 and 360!)... barring some crummy textures, it's an incredible looking game.
Anyone with even a passing interest in game graphical tech should read these articles. DONTNOD staff are wizards.
* I actually don't know if this is "true" PBR or if they're using a PBR-like system (I'm a layman), but it's still very impressive, especially for the studio's first game

One's a shooter and the other is a fighting game.
A poorly communicated mess, but not a broken one.
It's the fact that it gets it so right at being a fighting game, but lacks the proper modes that modern fighters should be pushing for which pisses Jeff off. As much as I love the genre, the devs that make them continue to keep fucking up in some department that really holds the genre back.

I mean everything he said is kinda true. It's a fantastic game that is mired in a lot of bullshit that is pretty much going to kill any chance it has at mainstream acceptance.

It's a fighting game. It never had a chance for mainstream acceptance.
Unless you're Mortal Kombat.

He's been very balanced about it and talking real negative facts not wierd excuses bullshit that overshadows those.
After a month. SF V has delivered far more INTENSITY for those people than KI3 or any other more fully-featured game ever could!

I agree. It's a shame that the game is damn dark on N64 with meh controls(more because of the controller)but I felt it did what Doom 3 tried to do when it comes to a scary/creepy atmosphere. I'd rather go through Doom 64 than Doom 3, I really do appreciate the realistic/slow approach it tried to go for though but man is it a slog.

Doom 64/the PSX port of Doom do Doom 3 better than Doom 3 does.

Yeah but Doom 3 has (had) dope lighting.
And those cool in-game touchscreens.

I tried Doom 3 for the first time in earnest before playing the new Doom and I still don't understand how an entire team of game developers interpreted Doom as a horror franchise for some reason.

Not long ago Giantbomb posted an article that had a schedule listing all of the press confrences in it. What article is that under?
In game or on forums? I haven't seen much toxic stuff in game chat, but maybe I'm just not paying attention.

In what way? In my 15-20 hours of Overwatch I've seen people be shitty in chat maybe twice.
Outside the game it's just a case of being released in 2007 vs. being released in 2016, the internet just keeps getting worse every day. Not an excuse, but an explanation.
I think the community outside of the game is pretty good, but the rare times I see someone chat other than "gg" or "wp", it's someone being a dickhead. Maybe I just get matched with shitty people.
Oh man, like every POTG. 'McCree/Bastion/Hanzo/Widowmaker/Sentry scrub' or snipers on offense saying they were why the team won.
POTG is like a salt mine factory. It's a terrible implementation ,and I don't know what blizzard was thinking adding it if they want to encourage teamwork.

It's just a cool little thing. It's a highlight. And everyone loves being salty at highlights. 'You call that a catch? What a terrible quarterback!' etc.

They definitely bring out the maximum amount of salt possible

Yeah, I never see anything like that. Mainly just confusion when it's someone killing one enemy (ult interrupts seem to be considered big) or something dumb like that.
(This is on EU/PC if it matters)

Australian servers are pretty chill. Had a game where everyone decided to go full zenyatta or full reinhardt on both sides which were a riot.

This has been roughly my experience on PC, Americas server. A lot of people are quiet or cordial, some are very friendly, and there's maybe a person or two every few matches that's vividly salty and/or abusive. I don't play for long strentches though, so maybe I'm avoiding the bad folk somehow.
I've actually had a lot of fun with the pug community overall. Losses are pretty demoralising though, I know this from experience.
people used to get whiny about TF2 servers as well but they were mostly americans. Internode TF2 servers and the like were almost always chill.
I always tend to have better experience with Australian players on games like WoW too. Obviously there's a shit or two, but it's not as prevalent. From my experience playing on Oceanic servers
unfortunately, internet ping is still at such a point that it's not very desirable to play a quick paced game like that.
I feel like 99% of anyone complaining about TF2 servers were CTF servers, tbh. All the scum was secluded to 2fort.

24/7 CTB 2fort was my jam.
I miss it. But at least I have Overwatch now.

Yeah I'd like to play with my American peeps but the lag would be damn bad.
I guess I could just pick a character who doesn't have to aim like Winston or Symmetra.

Why is australia even grouped in the americas anyway?
It's like we get roped into both eurovision and the asia cup.
