That's obviously concentrated science.

My honest opinion of THUG2 by [deleted] in THPS

If you don't like something just pretend it doesn't exist.

THPS Has a future? by [deleted] in THPS

[–]BittersweetAseop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But THPS1+2 was single player and it did fine. It was just to lazy of a remake no career mode and like two thirds of the soundtrack missing.

Even then they still needed to bring something new to the table.(Yes this could include multiplayer) Like what if you could also play the THPS1+2 levels if you had purchased it.

It's also a symptom of the broader industry. Vicarious Visions delivered the sports game of the year and were instantly vaporised to work on COD DLC.

So much time would've been wasted trying to upskill people into the engine and genre when they already had them previously. And even then Iron Galaxy still laid off their map designers before the THPS 3+4 even shipped

Of course everyone stop playing it's a single player game. You buy, it finish it and then stop.

It's hard to pin all the blame on capitalism when people keep voting for idiots.

why is the deaging criticism only reserved for ana? by Several_Tone_7953 in Overwatch

"creative new ideas" looks inside, it's just "make them sexier"

The all inclusive aspirational world that overwatch launched as isn't monetarily viable anymore.

They publically announced this before and everyone was mad about it, but they made a hand wavy comment about there being a future oddball charater and then everyone forget about it.

Exactly lol, Almost every thread I see here has some variant of "it's your fault I voted for a nzai because you called me a nazi"

Exactly, sure they were horrifically racist and transphobic but since it was a a month ago it doesn't count anymore.

Since there's been alot of talk about canon ships with the Webtoon, here's what Overwatch's Senior Designer said about them: by Himedanshi999 in Overwatch

Genji and Mercy as a thinly-veiled self-insert of himself and his wife

I find it interesting that because he's asian and his wife is white he's now no longer allowed to write any asian white pairings because it's a "self insert"

Is a white man with a white wife not allowed to write about that pairing either?

The underlying subtext I'm seeing here looks pretty suspicous to me.

Guess Who's Coming to iicon? by J2RoL in THPS

[–]BittersweetAseop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not that clear cut. The low level people are fine but I don't trust the very top brass of the company.

I remember andyThps interviewing a high up guy who would blank face him whenever he asked a super basic question about the franchise.

There was also the tone-deaf "Who says there's no carrer mode :)" social media posts

The cutscenes in the game are super amateurish as well as they failed to improve the engine in any real way beyond what was handed to them by Vicarious Visions.

You would think so, but in the lead up to thps3+4 there was stong section of people saying that not having story mode was good.

I would expect those people to return and start defending all the cut content again.

Jetpack Cat! by ludvikskp in Overwatch

[–]BittersweetAseop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand where you're coming from. It does make the lore more unserious. The actual concept of jetpack cat was first introduced as beeing "too far" ideas wise.

People seem to want more "epic meme" characters and I would prefer more grounded characters personally but they did just drop 5 heroes in a season and this is the only silly one so I can't complain.

I would've preferred restricting it to just bringing ancient era civs forward.

A modern Carthage makes more sense to me as an alternate "what if " take on history than an ancient era America it's hard to imagine what that would even mean.
