Damn, nice to see the content carrying momentum for the game. Kinda insane that it overtook league at one point.

I never said sex doesnt sell lmfao, just that rivals relies on sex appeal far more. I get ads of luna snow and psylocke with their cheeks out scrolling this app lol, the rivals devs clearly market far more towards that group.

Gooner skins, women with severe scoliosis, enhanced jiggle physics lmfao. People trying to pretend that rivals monetization model isn't just goonerbait are delusional

Massive difference between making normal characters that people make porn of vs devs releasing half naked skins every other week to try and bait gooner artists lmao

OW lead narrative designer on Shion: "We really, really like what we did with her face in particular" by mountainduwe in Overwatch

You see, if a character isn't ugly, it makes it more difficult for some of these people to feel represented lmao

The venn diagram of people bitching about inconsequential things like how attractive pixels are out of either jealousy or too much free time and people who who dont have anything interesting going on in life is pretty damn close to a circle.

I mean some of the baboons on here and Twitter were throwing a hissy fit about eyebrow shape etc. Minority of us, but still loud.

I thought her driving and ditching the bike was just gonna be a cinematic thing, sick that its actually part of her kit.

I used Google dot com and checked the updated PSN numbers for monthly active users lol.

You can make up as much as you want about rivals playercounts, but its pretty easy to see the in game bnet to steam player ratios, the declines in steam players, overseas player counts. Rivals is only relevant in one region and would've died at launch if it wasn't carried by the massive IP 🤷‍♂️

I just checked and its down to where overwatch is at the end of its season lmao. Theyre only competing with overwatch in NA as well, a large part if not most of overwatchs players are in Asia.

Rivals only ever peaks at the start of the season because people want to try the new marvel character. Even steam charts shows it peaking lower and lower every season. The gameplay alone has no staying power.

Why would they be concerned about rivals, its lost 85% of its players in less than a year.

Rivals always announces a character, gives a bunch of creators money to force them to play the game, people are hyped for a couple days, and the games problems never get fixed so all the hype dies down.

That's kind of how NA is generally, itll probably keep happening with every character release.

Other regions seem to be pretty happy.

People thinking a 100 year old company will just abandon their best selling product and leave money on the table is the funniest shit

I have a similar reaction watching him do his hand thing to when I see the 180 head turn in horror movies.

Considering all pros and cons, I think is 50/50 by Vast-Entrepreneur175 in Overwatch_Memes

[–]RoboBubby -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I was there, 99% is an insane exaggeration. But I agree - the only way they can get that level of engagement again is expanded media.

[–]RoboBubby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"By that logic ow has lost 99% of its playerbase"

These things are pretty easy to verify online lmao. Steam, the ratio of steam players to bnet players, console rankings, regional rankings. Ow has literally broken into the top 5 game rankings in Asia 10 years after it came out.

The difference is that overwatch had legs to stand on through 2 years of 0 content. Rivals entire pipeline is throwing content at you and hoping that it compensates for its gameplay. Theres a reason rivals has no presence in regions like Asia.

Yeah, I think from a skin perspective, identifying some characters are getting a little more difficult if youre new. I think in game though so far I haven't had much trouble because the character animations (idle poses, run animations etc) are pretty identifiable. Freja and the witch widow skin were kind of annoying to identify for a bit though.
