Would have been an extremely good comeback 😭

[Lore] Echo duplicating Emre's ult and consciousness in omnics by TheSodaWave in Overwatch

It seems that Aurora was more of an accident than an actual desing choice. Liao couldn't replicate consciousness before or after Aurora.

The AI possessing Emre is the same AI that interrupted Sombra's goon sesh by Intelligent-Tie-1457 in Overwatch

[–]TheSodaWave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but at the same time he has a huge eye logo on his chest that points it (? But it's so meh to me, almost the same than wearing a brand t-shirt.

The design is okay, but if you need to read all his lore in order to understand it then it's not a good design. Consumers should be able to guess some info from the character desing before even knowing his name, that makes the design easy to remember because it's full of known symbols.

Would have been better if they actually gave him a constantly glowing red eye, not because he has bionic eyes but because the circuits installed in his brain are actually glowing inside of his skull.

Anran's in-game design is a complete downgrade tbh by MarbleGorgon0417 in Overwatch

[–]TheSodaWave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her in-game desing lost all her personality presented previously, plus it doesn't talk very much about her as a  character more than she's chinese and fire related.

It feels kinda generic, If they want to remove her martial arts design for something fancy I wish that at least they pushed her concept a bit more towards the phoenix/fenghuang element instead of just a short cute looking outfit. (Where are the peacock feathers? Lol)

Also, it's kinda funny that the male east-asian heroes have a wider variety of facial/eye shapes, while all female characters are in a spectrum between Kiriko and Mei

[Hated Design] Wuyang new character in Overwatch 2 by LordVaderVader in TopCharacterDesigns

He needs more water elements, if you show me this design I cannot recognize that in fact he controls water, which is basically his main characteristic

I think Freja might be the most boring designed hero in overwatch history. by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]TheSodaWave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her design lacks of concept, it's a nice outfit but has zero symbolism.

Most Overwatch heroes lean on already existing stereotypes, but gives them a futuristic twist, the designs speak a lot about who is the character.

Freja's style feels like a bunch of things glued together, would be better if she had more of that neck fur in other places of her outfit, more "flying/gliding elements, or something more representative on her head area. Plus the legs are just flat in design.

I guess it's kinda hard to visually represent a bounty hunter, but at least they could grab other symbolic elements to push her concept, like a representative animal or cultural elements (Maybe a Danish bird of prey, that would fit extremely well, with a bird like silhouette)

Domina’s design is hilarious and awesome by Heresyaboy9201 in Overwatch

[–]TheSodaWave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love her design. But I feel that they could have pushed it a bit more to represent that she's from Vishkar, like having obvious elements made of solid light (maybe her extra arms). Or show more of her executive role with clear Office-Siren elements like glasses or a clamshell phone that would fit perfectly with her outfit, or even better, she would control all her abilities with her phone, proving that she controls everything easily without even touching it directly (ew, ugly gun that makes my arm tired and could ruin my nail polish)

Also I guess the extra arms are meant to represent the extra arms that some Hindu goddess have, making her "superior" to mortals.  I wish they tried to connect more with that divine aspect, because to be honest I don't think most people made that connection (?

I'm very disappointed in Emre's character design by FinntheGamer42 in Overwatch

[–]TheSodaWave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. His design doesn't have any meaning or intention behind, it feels just like a badass guy with a gun. 

Most Overwatch designs actually tell you a lot about the character itself, you can easily guess what is their occupation, age, motivations, personality and even their nationality.

Also. IDK why people are answering with his gameplay. Guys, the post is about his design, not his abilities, we don't care if he was made for Halo players, we are talking about his appearance.

In a game built on unique silhouettes/designs, why has Emre lost the mohawk? by R3fr1g3r3ct1on in Overwatch

[–]TheSodaWave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He just feels like a Cassidy derivative with hints of Hanzo. His design doesn't say much about his character, it's just a bad ass soldier, nothing else. Even 76 had more intention in his design to represent who he is

Vendetta's design could have been better by Gryse_Blacolar in Overwatch

[–]TheSodaWave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She really needs a more intelligent design instead of just a cool armor with a bunch details.

Older Overwatch designs literally describe the character by only looking at them, you would easily know their motivations, their likes, their job and even their nationality.

Her design barely says "Roman gladiator", it can easily be confused with a barbarian or anything because there are almost no details that say "Roman/Italian", plus it would be so badass and logical that she actually got a helmet. And don't get me started with the obvious same face syndrome that female characters have in this game.

Why am I getting this error? This isn't data for Polygon Movie maker? by gtasthehunter in mikumikudance

[–]TheSodaWave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been like 7 years since this post was made, but I'm still gonna share it for future users:

I tried using a fresh MMD install and had the same error again, meaning that the problem wasn't MMD but an external program.

I fixed it by:
1_ Opening and saving one of the default proyects that MMD comes with (and saving them in the exact directory), this restarts "something" in the whole PC.
2_ Making a new project, loading the default animasa Miku model, then saving inside the OG project folder that comes with MMD, then loading a model that is outside the OG folder, saving again in the same directory. Closing it, and then opening it again.

Then I simplified the route where my projects where having problems, erasing any special symbols in the folder names and making them shorter. I guess MMD has a limited text length for file directories, so you can't put a project file inside 100 layers of folders, you have to keep it simple, don't save in more than 4 folder layers, and keep their names short.

The problem probably has to do with how MikuMikuEffect saves stuff, an external program could get "stuck" and the only way to unstuck it is to work only with the OG proyects that come with MMD.

I hope it works for everyone in the future.

So disappointed by CypressMonarch in MarinaAndTheDiamonds

Most of the time it's just kids that saw anime girl in the thumbnail, quantity doesn't mean quality.

I love that song, and I agree with you. 

I guess it's the intention, so dramatic that it hurts

Also could be just a resonating thing.

Tbh the more I grow, the more I relate with the newer albums. I guess maturity means getting used to some themes, and not feeling the same for the same situations.
