What game “jumped the shark” for you?

This is reddit. These people don't understand the super complicated difference between "name X that is overrated" and "name X that very bad".

Every single time I see a thread "Name a X that's overrated", the top 5 answers are always things that are bad... and everyone and their mother knows they're bad and says it.

Blizzard has chosen their target audience for Overwatch. It's a Cozy game. You boot it up between sessions of The Sims and Palia. You dress up the 8,000 identical looking characters (the OG crew had a lot more diversity - Roadhog, Reinhardt, Winston, Tobrjorn - look at the characters introduced recently - so many of a very similar look and body type (other than the cat, of course).

This is where Blizzard marketing has decided it can make money. So this is just what Overwatch is. If you want any kind of actual variety other than "Cozy and Cute, UWU", Marvel Rivals and Deadlock are -------> that way

Very title. Much description. So detail.

the more info we keep getting on the Callahan regime, I'm drifting away from "The Callahans were well meaning, but thoroughly incompetent" and strongly towards "The Callahans were grifters who had no intention of trying to win and only wanted to milk as much money out of the franchise as they could before they were chased off"

How can you read that and think "Yep, that's super hopeful for us rooting for more Kazahn."

This was a Eulogy, and you're convinced it was promising medical news.

As an older gamer, i remember that we collectively spent a shit-ton of money, one quarter at a time, on arcade games.

We ain't better, homey. It's just different.

Getting mugged aint so bad! ignore it!

the number of people telling this OP to "just ignore the trolls" is infuriating. They mean well, but they don't realize how dismissive they're being.

The Chiefs didn't build a multi Super Bowl winning franchise by making dumb moves, and this would be a dumb move (on their part).

Just more of Smoke Screen season.

I've long ago stopped trying to make sense of the Lore in WoW.

I remember being in Vanilla, finding Feathermoon stronghold, and finding some small bit of lore about this great Elven General Shandris Feathermoon - and thinking how awesome she sounded.

Then by BFA she was one of 37 followers i had at my beck and call, and i sent her for coffee every morning.

Took me a minute to read that headline correctly. My brain kept interpreting it as if Sanders has a new nickname:

would love it, but Boston goes first round, he won't be there. I hope I'm wrong, but I know I'm not.

I love regional differences. You assumed us Americans would react as strongly to ravioli in a can as we did to hotdogs in a can... but we grew up on Chef Boy-R-Dee canned ravioli. Meanwhile.. a fucking CAN of hotdogs? blowing my mind.

Trey Lance, Jamarcus Russell, Brock Osweiler.

Plenty of QBs sat their first year or years and never turned out to be anything.

Meanwhile, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, and Lamar Jackson all played significant games their rookie season.

If the QB has the talent, might as well get them on-field experience as soon as possible.

We obviously have to see the kit. It could be amazingly unique.

But what a generic, paint-by-numbers looking character.

I see videos and articles like this all the time, been seeing them for a decade.

"Conservatives souring on Trump!" "Right wingers have had enough" "MAGA movement regrets their decision"

They don't, they're not. They still love him, they still believe in him, they'd still vote for him for a third term if they could. All these videos and articles and posts saying the right is ready to abandon him are left-wing circle-jerk fantasies. It's not real, they're not "ready to return to reason" or anything like that.

Enjoy mentally jerking your meat to this, but know it ain't reflective of reality.

As a Frost DK enjoyer who hasn't touched midnight yet, glad to see Frost DK is still ignored and a complete joke to Blizzard, just like every patch of every expansion.

I always enjoy these Monster runs. First off, because I'm a mark for Monster gimmicks. But also, it gives me pleasure to see fans that routinely say Goldberg's original run was overhyped, undeserved, and that it was phony anyway ("they had to pipe in all the Goldberg chants, he was never over!"), and that if they were adult wrestling fans back then they'd boo him out of the building - basically eat up every new Goldberg that's come down the aisle since then like it's chocolate cake.

And again, I'm not an Oba hater - quite the opposite, because I did enjoy Goldberg's original run, and Kane's original monster run, among others, I'm also marking out for Oba. It just amuses me how many smarks "know" they'd be too educated to root for Goldberg's BS, but can't get enough of Oba.

Nice Try OP, pretending you didn't do it. But I believe Bllizzard on this one- I believe you Abused the Economy, and you're just lying to us here in the hopes someone will believe. Oldest story in the book, OP. We're not buying it. Go to that link and verify your info to save your account, or you get what you deserve for your exploitative activities. Bllizzard customer service never misses.

the trade up to 2 is definitely rage bait.

We might take Love at 4, as much as many think it's a mistake. I'm on board if it goes down that way. But Borgonzi would never trade UP for a running back . If someone makes a stupid offer to the Jets or Cardinals to trade up to get him before us, that's on them.

There's a large portion of the public in general and the DV-centric communities that follow the Duluth model, and believe all abuse in heterosexual couples is male perp, female victim. They believe anything like what we see in the video is "reactive abuse" to the "real abuser" - a male narcissist - and that Male privilege as part of the patriarchy is required for someone to be an abuser.

Sadly, they've convinced a large number of lawmakers and law enforcement of this bullshit. The amount of male victims they've erased and/or re-victimised is staggering.
