I don't quite get the appeal of hero skins in Overwatch. Yes they're cool but you barely see them in action as the game is first person. Hero skins in regular MOBA and weapon skins in CSGO make sense because you get to see them the whole time.

 

[Corpekata]

That game went EA way too soon. EA should be for games that are enjoyable in their current state, but need time for more content and polish.

That pretty much was what Starbound did. It wasn't like some broken alpha game or something. It's main issue was content and the speed of delivery, it was already a fairly solid game when it debuted on EA.

Customization in FPS games is common. You feel better playing when you think you look cool.

You know the difference is there, like patterned underwear.

I remember not really being satisfied with the way it played. It had a lot of complex animations and some weird hit boxes that made combat feel really off. For all the flak terraria took for it's simple art, it just worked and felt really good to play.

What do you mean? FF will be yearly like sport games?

Nah, just named after the year it releases. 2027/ FF27. More like KoF I guess.

Final Fantasy characters will be augmented gothic ones if true to follow the trend. XD

New Overwatch short

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6OaMH6vH3M

All these shorts has been great so far, but I wish they would focus on different characters already.

 

[freshVeggie]

Hm, hm, I'm loving the world of Mad Max. Desert, hot, sand. Motion Blur looks great in screens but I barely notice it during gameplay.
Upgrades need tons of scrap. Gonna be tedious to level up. Even Level 2 upgrades cost 300 scraps, dang. Max's voice doesn't sound as Aussie as I thought it would.
Car combat is fun. I disabled HUD in Video Mode but it's not really usable to gameplay. Shame they didn't add an option for HUD elements to fade in/out.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Deus EX: HR's ending is pretty bad. Like, remember Mass Effect 3's ending? It's 33% better... with a Deus Exian twist.

Maybe they switched to the Madden naming convention.

Oh, god. I didn't even notice that.

That's so meta.

I never wear crazy shit for me to see in multiplayer games, it's always in service of other people seeing how much time or money I've wasted into something.

I made some bad role playing choices in Fallout 4 and now the story feels weird. I hate when that happens, although really they could have done a better job not forcing you into certain situations where it seems like you have to make a decision.

Yeah, I mean, it didn't have the baggage of a trilogy to make it a real travesty, but it's the height of laziness.

whats a 8hr or less game I havent played that's worth playing?

Asking because I have a ton of schoolwork and can't commit to anything long before DS3, but can totally get 8hr of gaming in by then

Wait, there weren't 97 KOF games before KOF 98?

Nah...it's worse than Mass Effect 3 IMO. At least ME3 has that extended cut+DLC.

Fairly certain it'll go dirt cheap, can't justify it today as a result.

How about Transistor? The game is only 4-5 hours long and there's a lot of replayability in NG+ since you have all of your powers from the start.

GOG Galaxy uses all the bandwidth while downloading a game, wowser. My connection is in the toilet right now, downloading Baldur's Gate: EE...

Intrusion 2. It's a spectacular four hour action game. One of those Humble Bundle gems.

Because of it I am hotly anticipating the dev's next game. (I can't find a link to it, but rest assured it's in development.)

Nah...it's worse than Mass Effect 3 IMO. At least ME3 has that extended cut+DLC.

I forgot the extended DLC existed. I've been waiting to replay ME3, when the Citadel DLC finally reaches a reasonable price.

Overwatch is all about Pharah. Bird-based powersuits will never go out of style.

not my favorite but she's ok

Still don't understand how Soldier 76 is the hero they decided to go with for the collector edition statute. The must generic guy they got.

yeah, specially with tracer being such a fan favorite and having such a fun design

Overwatch's art is fair but it's got nothing on TF2 which boasts the best character designs in a multiplayer game

Would legit watch a full-length movie featuring those guys

Also Soldier 76 sucks

i never understand why people feel the need to compare the two games' art styles. like, they're so different, you can't really compare which one is "better" because they're going for totally different looks

both games look great imo

They probably want to have a generic soldier dude to appeal to people who like generic soldier dude shooters, there are still plenty of people buying them.

Plus, you probably know more about moba style skill sets than I do, but I often kinda default to more generic characters in class based stuff, at least at first, since I intuitively know what they do, which makes learning the rest of the game a bit easier.

i guess, and i also think not every character has to appeal to everyone, but i feel like i can't imagine the person that goes "yeah, soldier 76 looks COOL". like, you can make a more straight soldier guy, he's male, he's white, he's got an assault rifle, but he's got one or two hooks that give him personality.

he just looks like generic cyberpunk call of duty fodder or something

Starbound is (finally) leaving early access soon

Spoiler

"Soon"

after playing a bunch of terraria with friends, i kinda want to get into starbound

specially since we're playing minecraft nowadays and i'm not too into it

there's mods for league that unlock the skins for only you to see (as in, to other players you look as if you're wearing your default) and i never felt compelled to use it

part of the appeal of skins is that other people see it

I imagine the audience for 76 is the same audience that pitched a fit when they were forced to play as some "weird alien" for parts of Halo 2 instead of their beloved Space BMX Guy.

Not just you. I look at that picture and feel an almost irresistible compulsion to fix it in Photoshop. >_<
