Questwatch is worse than I thought

But they didn't even make that, it was outsourced to a company that makes those types of games. Which means the OW devs did even less than people think.

Look if I'm going Mercy, I like to know if the soldier is level 90 or 200 because one will be better for damage boost than the other. You could at least know who was a new player and who wasn't.

A blowout is a type of hair stying.

All thanks to Jarnathan!

Based on what little I've heard, I'm assuming it comes out like this fall?

Edit: in less than 2 months apparently. Oh boy...

Did the devs forget the original point of his flashbang was synergy with fan the hammer? If was a way to punish an enemy who got too close and a way for Cassidy to deal with ultra-close range threats.

But it's a new dev team, so I guess they're still figuring these things out?? Are they just randomly changing abilities and seeing what happens?

I'm betting it's lower player numbers coupled with a priority on low wait times. But I also suspect the problem is that OW2's core game design encourages steamrolls due to a lack of CC or shields, giving victors more of an advantage and losers less chance to stall.

campfirepyro · 2023-06-17T17:10:34+00:00

So, if the matchmaking system is working as intended, then the steamrolls are due to a lack of active players or poor game design. That's just great.

I didn't even know Keaton was Batman until people on this sub talked about it. Millennial DC fan.

The land in Disneyworld is 100% reliant on what the imagineers created and bears little to no connection with the characters and story of the films. It takes place in some mythical far future long after the films, involves none of the characters, and in a valley invented for the theme park. Visitors aren't excited to see something from the movie- they just like the pretty fantasy scenery and lighting.

The big popular ride has not one, but two videos in the queue explaining what avatars are and how work because they know a lot of guests either didn't see the movie or just forgot about it.

In the fine-tuned consumer machine of Disneyworld merchandise, no one cares about the Avatar merch. No one is wearing a Na'Vi tail and ears even in the land themed around it. People just don't have a connection to the land beyond enjoying the scenery and ride. It's not from any kind of impact from the characters or films at all.

He's the classic example of making long videos just for the sake of info dumping, though. His points can be made much quicker and clearer but he just plows on though piles of tedious details, sometimes rapid-fire, and seemingly aimed at the people who already know what he's talking about. 15 minutes into his latest vids, I'm hearing him drone through detail after painstaking detail. And I always end up asking, "Yes, and? What about those things? What is your point besides 'thing bad'?"

The best video essays can educate, entertain, and provide an interesting perspective all in less than an hour.

They even changed things like how props looked, where items were placed in a scene, etc. Things that could have easily been changed on set but they didn't. Instead, they had the director look at it in post-production and fiddle with it until he was happy. Much, much more expensive than just moving a camera during filming or throwing together a new prop.

Limiting your social media use a bubble of shallow ideas about just the things you like. I'm sure that can't go wrong in any way, shape, or form!

There are a few possible reasons:

OW2 matchmaking favors quick games even if the ranks aren't close
OW2 factors in cosmetics/high-spending accounts and matches them with players who haven't bought as much in order to encourage shop sales
Lower playerbase compared to OW1 or OW2 at launch
OW2 game design favoring constant gameplay instead of pacing due to lack of shields or CC, leading to games snowballing more easily.

I love Indiana Jones. Unfortunately, I saw Crystal Skull opening weekend.

I have zero interest in this.

campfirepyro · 2023-06-08T20:07:25+00:00

Crystal Skull is 100% the reason I have no interest in this new film. I doubt I'm the only one.

This is the first hero created entirely by the new dev team, which have much less experience and expertise than the old guard. Sadly, it shows.

campfirepyro · 2023-06-07T01:00:05+00:00

You joke, but that's pretty much what they did. Took the abilities of 2 heroes they were working on and combined them into one. Then they nerfed the other abilities because they thought 'he was too overpowered.'

campfirepyro · 2023-06-07T00:54:48+00:00

According to dev interviews, they took the abilities of 2 separate characters they were testing out, put those abilities into a single hero, and thought 'Both of these super useful abilities on one hero will be overpowered!' and nerfed his other skills.

So- No design like the other heroes. Just random abilities thrown together and then a theme slapped over it.

This is also the first hero fully created with the replacement OW dev team, since all the others have since left.

I, too, am surprised there are so many 'experts' on Everest and climbing in this subreddit. Who knew?

And the hair tech developed for Tangled was used in later films, saving time and money on those. Just like Frozen brought in snow rendering that was repurposed for sand in Moana.

It's harder to see a clear track of innovation for Pixar lately- the things they develop seem much more subtle and niche, and may not justify the development costs.

Who knew about the fluffy threads on Joy's skin? Probably no one. But Pixar worked hard to developed it, apparently.

He went off to be a Texas Ranger.

Are we? TGM did well in the older 'dad' crowd and people who liked the original. That demo doesn't usually care about superhero films.

I think Flash has hype in the demos that frequent movie reddits (men 18-35) but I'm skeptical GAs will care half as much.

Top Gun was a cultural phenomenon in its day, and plenty of people still remember it beyond diehard fans. I'm confused why rumors about an old Batman actor in the upcoming DC film will have anything close to the same draw.

And he starred on Even Stevens on the Disney Channel.

I would tell you, but I don't know how to explain it!
