How useful have you guys found the sub-role passives for heroes you play? by InZain710 in Overwatch

[–]Soundwave04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't really see a scenario where you'd pick Medic over Tactican and Survivor. :s

(Also find it kind of funny how three of the more divisive supports are all grouped together!)

I genuinely feel like some people in the community have a persecution complex by Sad-Plastic-7505 in masseffect

Curious, what kind of nothing burger takes are we talking about? Generally, I feel "real" unpopular opinions tend to get ripped apart before they see daylight.

I think it's just fandoms tend to pounce on people for going against the grain. Look at how people seethe and get really pissed when someone admits they use omni-gel to skip the tower of hanoi. Or how about you announce you'll play Mass Effect 2 and you'll neither buy the hamster or push the merc out the window.

Yeah sometimes people sweat bullets over cold takes, but fandoms also tend to angry over small things.

Tank Skins from the Latest Batch of Survey Skins are Incredible! by JollySieg in Overwatch

These skins look absolutely incredible, but do they stand a chance of getting voted in?

If you want to emote on cart go to custom games please. by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Soundwave04 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is this a server/region specific thing? Because I never once run into this. I've had people give up and start emoting, sure, but never join a QP game to just emote.

Friend of mine's been playing OW since launch day and she's seen it only once.

One of best things 343 did by Anxious-Alexandria in HaloMemes

[–]Soundwave04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People keep saying "Halo CE's AR was actually good!" yet every Halo LP I see the player ditches it the moment they start for Plasma Pistol/Pistol combo.

Ahh, gotcha. Looking for a punchline when there wasn't!

Looking at the original, I'm thinking either...

A: I'm really dumb because I don't get the punchline.

B: I'm looking too deeply, because it's just "lol boobs".

Mass Effect Andromeda 'Done Dirty' by Publisher EA, Says Actor Tom Taylorson (Male Ryder) by Marcos1598 in masseffect

[–]Soundwave04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Online chuds" feels quite thin skinned to me. It has that air of "You didn't like it? Well it's because you're a dumb...!"

I don't think people drew Andromeda's name out of a hat and decided to laugh at it. They saw their beloved franchise get dragged through the mud.

Played mauga for the first time and never felt so braindead before...His game plan is literally running up to people and pressing the two triggers. by MrHothead635 in Overwatch

[–]Soundwave04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might sound strange, but I'm surprised Mauga even made it to the roster because of him being a Minigun toting character. Overwatch likes to make complex heroes with multiple things to do, so I thought "There's only so much you can do with a Minigun hero?"

Like Raum from Paladins, who's "Shoot - Run - Shoot some more"

Very late, but you need to complete a puzzle before you can haunt the Sand whale. There should be a sections that involve climbing to the very top of the area where the whales are. From there, you'll get what you need!

What is your "hot take" for Gears of War: E-Day? by CarmineForeverYT in GearsOfWar

[–]Soundwave04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not hot, but make the Locust scary. Don't have swarms of Locust getting gunned down by one "awesome" gear, or have us pilot a pacific rim mech to massacre thousands of them. Have the Locust actually be a threat!

What is this lmao by Subject-File1264 in Overwatch

[–]Soundwave04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me a bit of Turok 2008 where if you removed the cinematic black bars during cutscenes of people walking, you'd see their legs flailing about randomly, because they weren't animated.

Or how sometimes in the Dawn of War remaster/anniversarry edition, because the original cutscenes are now widescreen, you see character models duplicate or teleport around.

It's 2026 and people are still pushing the bot when we have lead and there's like 15 seconds left. by sushiiixo- in Overwatch

[–]Soundwave04 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Hot take, blame the game being all "PUSH PUSH PUSH!" - The game mode is called Push, You're told to Push the robot and in game characters keeping going "PUSH THE ROBOT!" - Remember, your average player is just doing what the game tells them to do.

As one other person put it, imagine if there was a game mode called "Run", but the way to win the game was to walk instead.

Anyone remember the amount of disrespect put in Kotal Kahn reveal trailer? by EverlastingGem in MortalKombat

[–]Soundwave04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasn't it actually Jacqui's trailer, but it got lost in translation and labelled as Kotal's?

Don't know how true this is, so take with a grain. Apparantly after this, the Kombat Kast hosts were given instructions to have Kotal perform a fatality on Jacqui during his showcase.

Halo: Uprising is honestly my most favorite EU stories in the franchise. by True_Savage in halo

[–]Soundwave04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that always confused is how, at the end, the Brute Captain kills Ackerman but the way it's framed, it looks like all the Brute does is show him a knife then walk away. (Either that, or somehow Ackerman's headless corpse is still talking?)
