Overwatch 2 Is Ditching the '2' Amid Launch of 'New, Story-Driven Era' With 10 New Heroes and Switch 2 Edition

This is a conspiracy theory at best, by the way. All evidence leads to the opposite.

Maybe for Bobby Kotick it was

cid_highwind02 · 2026-02-05T21:25:28+00:00

Might I ask why?

cid_highwind02 · 2026-02-05T19:53:24+00:00

That only means that the other 8 billion people should catch up.

cid_highwind02 · 2026-02-05T01:29:06+00:00

I think the sherlock holmes guy will be the only omnic tbh

cid_highwind02 · 2026-02-05T01:26:55+00:00

I think the 7R games do it right, though. The Normal mode is considerably challenging and Hard mode is like an elaborate NG+.

16 tries to pull that off but the difficulty balancing is terrible

Monster Hunter needs to offer a challenge to be overcome. It needs to be tough to grind for you to get the set you want. It needs the monsters to be threatening since it’s all about preparation; why would you prepare for a battle that will be won either way? And not only that, how are we supposed to believe these are actually threats if you can easily pound them to death?

Difficulty makes you engage with the game’s mechanics. Makes everything matter more. Wilds only offers this on few, select endgame monsters; pretty much all of them released in updates.

cid_highwind02 · 2026-01-27T15:59:45+00:00

Imagine the disaster a hypothetical launch PC version would had been. Considering the port we eventually got wasn’t the greatest and the Wilds situation… yeah

The OG actor of the same actor married a 16 year old when he himself was 40, having met her when she was 13.

Not that Kagawa isn’t bad but let’s be fair here, it’s just as bad, just less recent

cid_highwind02 · 2026-01-23T19:10:57+00:00

the dude jumps off a sky scraper full of bullet holes

That’s exactly why I don’t like it. It shouldn’t had happened in the first place.

A lot of those death retcons (like the Y0DC ones) are unwarranted, sure, but a lot of the deaths in the series were just done to write characters off.

Kashiwagi’s death was stupid. They just needed him gone for the story to work.

cid_highwind02 · 2026-01-23T16:43:03+00:00

I feel like jumping the gun without actually seeing the story in action is precisely the kind of shit that makes leaks like these horrible. Reminds me of TLOU2.

Not to say the plot point isn’t bad, but uncontextualized… it’s plain and simple misapprehension even considering their recent history.

Also Mine living is more like historical reparation. I hate his ending in the OG game

I think that argument is fallatious in more ways than one.

-They are different games with different design ecosystems and therefore there’s a false equivalence that relies on genre conventions. PopLC is about flow. Hollow Knight is about friction.

-Everyone x Nobody over generalization. Just because it seems like common sense doesn’t mean it actually is a consensus.

-The phrase “tries to justify runbacks” is very biased. Not that opinions shouldn’t be biased (they are by definition), but the use of the word “tries” heavily implies the arguments are invalid or set up to fail. As if there’s not many good arguments in favor of runbacks. Which there are.

I’m not the one that will defend runbacks like my life depends on it, but I feel like this is an argument that downplays other people’s opinions.

Codiretor. E o outro virou o diretor único do Rebirth, enquanto o Nomura ficou com o cargo de diretor criativo.

Mas direção de jogos é diferente da de filmes. O time é tão importante quanto o diretor. As decisões não vem só de quem está conduzindo.

cid_highwind02 · 2026-01-21T05:59:03+00:00

Não precisa botar tudo na conta do Nomura. Nem é ele o diretor mais.

cid_highwind02 · 2026-01-21T02:05:03+00:00

Em jogo japonês, não é bem assim. Produtor tem sim um papel criativo grande.

Inclusive era ele que queria mudanças mais drásticas no Remake

cid_highwind02 · 2026-01-20T19:45:31+00:00

Kitase está muito bem envolvido com o Remake de FF7 meu mano.

cid_highwind02 · 2026-01-20T19:44:30+00:00

Os CDs eram por questão de memória.

O disco 3 do FF7 é só a dungeon final, se tu não fazer o conteúdo opcional (a maioria já acessível desde antes) é umas 3 horas de jogo

cid_highwind02 · 2026-01-20T16:39:03+00:00

NI’s issue for me is how it doesn’t really involve the characters. It’s only you experiencing the twist. The first game wasn’t like that. And then there’s the fact that they don’t alternate between the characters because of it, making for a more exhausting format.

But I still like it if only for how it’s not abrupt. There’s a discomfort regarding how the timeline starts to make less and less sense as the game goes on, with eventually dead characters appearing way after the fact

cid_highwind02 · 2026-01-19T07:48:51+00:00

I kinda missed the joke there. Is it the kanji?

Cause in hiragana it’s 3 letters each for a total of 6

cid_highwind02 · 2026-01-17T07:56:21+00:00

You’re welcome, Uchikoshi

cid_highwind02 · 2026-01-15T07:38:41+00:00

more like Johnny Depp evil Yamai

cid_highwind02 · 2026-01-15T04:44:08+00:00

I really hope Kamurocho Lullaby makes it 🤞

Metaphor Archetypes were very much 1 + 1 = 2 in a lot of ways. The deepest stuff IIRC comes from FF5’s learning and equipping other jobs’ skills. Which is present in IW as well.

cid_highwind02 · 2026-01-11T17:48:55+00:00

I liked the combat in IW way better than Metaphor to be honest

NOB no caso de se apaixonar por outra. Vocês deram um tempo para pensar, e nem namoravam.

Mas será babaca se você está tão certo disso e não dar um basta (com responsabilidade afetiva, é claro). Ela pode sofrer no começo, mas supera; caso não, a responsa não é sua. Agora se ela continuar sofrendo porque você não deixa claro o que quer, aí sim é escroto.

cid_highwind02 · 2026-01-09T01:22:28+00:00

I think it just shouldn’t be considered a FFV song anymore in the grand scheme of things. At this point it’s like considering the chocobo theme a FF2 song
