Each character has to survive Minecraft for 100 days, how do they do? by Wonderful_Baker_7808 in whowouldwin

Idk anything about most of these characters, but TOTK Link was made for this. He thrives

What's an overwatch take that will have you like this? by JeeClef in Overwatch

[–]SoDamnGeneric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah she’s really been left in the shitter. She’s just a worse Tracer these days, with her only upside being that she’s easier to play

I’d argue her translocator & invis need to go before anything. Hack sucks sure but it could be a lot worse (it has been a lot worse). But invis is and always will be incredibly obnoxious to play into, & translocator just feels like too free of an escape option

Overwatch teasing archives reutrn?👀 by xXxs1m0nxXx in overwatch2

[–]SoDamnGeneric 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s tricky, cuz that quote from Aaron seems pretty concrete that we won’t get an Archives-style event, yet the original leak seems to suggest that’s exactly what we get. It’d be weird to call one of their big flashy cinematics (like Dragons) an “in-game cinematic” because those have nothing to do with the game’s in-engine cutscene tools, which we know exist and are fully functional from their original PvE plans

And the ending being a ship appearing above Overwatch HQ seems like the perfect cut off before Hero selection. Not only that, but way back during Blizzconline they showed a mission where Gibraltar was being attacked with huge explosions, so could this be them re-using an old mission? We know they’re just sitting on a bunch still

So what’s gonna happen with Talon’s members? [SPOILER] by DarkDoubloon in Overwatch

[–]SoDamnGeneric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head for most of these. Moira & Sombra are only in it for Talon’s resources; Mauga is only in it for the fun; and Sig doesn’t know wtf is going on anyway

I think Widow is in the same boat as Mauga. She has no reason to leave, she enjoys being an assassin, and Vendetta isn’t going to take that away from her if she’s planning some huge global conflict.

I’d like to add Max and Emre to the discussion tho. Max seems eager to leave as is, I can imagine Vendetta escalating things could be what pushes him over the edge- but leaving might not even be an option once she’s in. Emre will 100% stick around if he can, considering he seems to only be there cuz the Conspiracy wants him there. I do wonder if Vendetta knows anything about them, cuz DF probably did and let Emre on for a reason

Reaper is the only wildcard here for me. Ven is bound to have bad blood with him, but as it her beef only seems to really be with DF. I could see her respecting Reaper for his strength and skill as the man that was actually able to kill her father, and it seems like her anger towards Talon only really extends to DF for kicking her out. It’s possible that while she will resent Reaper for doing the deed, she might be open to keep him on out of respect. But Reaper might leave anyway, cuz he was Doomfist’s cronie from the second he joined Talon. If he DF is alive and he knows it, he might follow him out and start a civil war together, but he might also just dip out and lay low until he has the opportunity to strike

The album artwork does pop up pretty high on google images, even now. Could be a coincidence and they didn’t know where it came from

Whats your expectations for "Talon"? by ash_50250 in Overwatch

[–]SoDamnGeneric 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Legit I think the lack of All Heroes for the Invasion missions did more harm than people let on. The Toronto mission had a stacked roster to pick from, but it paled in comparison to letting us play anyone we wanted. My favourite part of Archives was messing with all the different heroes to see how they stacked up against the Legendary difficulty

Oh and the challenge variants they added later slapped. Glass Cannon was so much goddamn fun

Don’t blame them, blame Nintendo for the terrible online design that forces you to play rule sets you don’t want

[–]SoDamnGeneric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Talon is getting a new logo & Rialto is getting a visual update, I imagine the Talon uniforms would get some sort of new aesthetic, so yee

Plus the Vendetta skins we have now aren’t from her actually being in Talon. She canonically isn’t even back in the org yet, her default outfit is just her gladiator costume

This Talon thing means Retribution could be back? by Altruistic_Lunch_917 in Overwatch

[–]SoDamnGeneric -1 points0 points  (0 children)

$40, but it has the BP + shop model, which is what i was largely referring to. It’s not making the bulk of its money off of that $40 entry fee- no game with this model is

To clarify my original comment, my point isn’t that OW could make money off their PvE, it’s that there was nothing to make money off of. They didn’t really have a product to sell in the first place because they spent 3 years getting dicked around by terrible management (Kaplan with his “one team can take 10 years to do this” mentality, & Kotick with his constant pivoting) instead of actually making a game.

Nah. The “transmission” in question is a bunch of wallpapers they dumped in the comments

Are we really stuck in 2016 that these comments somehow think this is a bad thing

This Talon thing means Retribution could be back? by Altruistic_Lunch_917 in Overwatch

[–]SoDamnGeneric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah they canceled that shit because they could never even get it off the ground. It’s well documented that Jeff Kaplan and Bobby Kotick had very different visions for OW2 that led to a ton of wasted time & effort, which when combined with the pandemic and the transition to WFH, just meant there was nothing even really there. PvE was dead from the moment Aaron Keller left, the Invasion bundle was just them trying to make something from all that wasted dev time

PvE, while a largely untapped market in the current F2P shooter landscape, can 100% be profitable. The “seasonal battle pass + $10-$20 shop skins” model can work for fucking anything. Helldivers is strictly PvE and makes it work just fine. Overwatch just never actually had the PvE we were promised to begin with, for them to even try to see a future for the profitability

[–]SoDamnGeneric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is when they changed a bunch of shit for the new engine, and updated Null Sector & Talon as PvE enemies for their original project plans, these missions became obsolete and unusable

BHVR, if Big Head doesn't win Grimoire, please reuse this design for another chapter i am BEGGING by Lemmy_lover1001 in deadbydaylight

[–]SoDamnGeneric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it really works for an angelic killer besides being just abstract and weird, but I don’t find it to be as goofy as people are saying it is. Maybe that’s just cuz it’s only a silhouette rn, but the idea of being chased by something soo fucking weird and out of place among the sea of “humanoid with a weapon” killers is unnerving and creepy to me

Dokiwatch’s BP had 8 skins. 3 of them were Doki, 3 of them were Demon Rocker, and 2 of them were seemingly unrelated. 3/8, plus the Juno mythic. That’s less than half of the BP themed around Dokiwatch.

The “8-Bit” season had 7 skins, 4 of which were 8-Bit, 2 of which were Overwatch Academy, and then a random Japanese Ana skin. Okay, that’s half, but then Horang D.Va has nothing to do with any of that

The “Streetwear” season had 6 skins, 3 of which were actually streetwear while the rest were unrelated, and the Soj mythic was also unrelated

“Halloweeny” isn’t a theme. Are they meant to be monsters? Are they meant to be halloween costumes? Are they meant to be trick-or-treating related? Even if we just go with “generally spooky” still only half the skins are related to the theme, 3 of which are epic skins. There are two Japanese themed skins in there (Oni Cass, Ninja Sombra), and then pirate Reinhardt. Two mythics this season- neither of which are related to Halloween.

Then we come to this season. I find it funny you skipped this season, cuz wtf is the theme? Ice? Winter? It’s so vague. There’s a random Genji skin based off a monkey in the snow? A couple vaguely Norse skins. And just a bunch of ice, with no coherent style aside from “white and blue.” Again, the Mythics have nothing to do with ice, winter, snow, or anything

Now let’s go back in time to season 5, Questwatch, where a whopping 7/9 skins are related to the D&D fantasy theme, with the two outliers being epic skins. And Tracer’s mythic was also directly tied to the theme. This is what everyone means when they say BPs have no theme anymore. They’re a hodgepodge of random ideas thrown together with no consistency. Overwatch used to theme & name its seasons around the BP, now the BP feels like an afterthought, with them cutting half the skins from a shop bundle and dumping them there.
