Sylvanas is a bold example, considering I think most non-gooners would actually prefer her older models.

Trans rep was the first thing on the list

Really excited for this. Skyrim doesn’t have the greatest combat system, but Oblivion is the bastard middle child between Morrowind’s dice rolls and Skyrim’s more free system. Trying to go back to it now, even heavily modded, is really rough, but the world and stories told in Oblivion are a lot better than the constant radiant fiesta of Skyrim.

Part of what’s made this project such an arduous monument of effort has been them making sure Bethesda can’t shut them down. Using other people’s IP in mods is totally allowed by Bethesda, and always has been, as long as the mod is wholly your own original work. If Skyblivion took the easy path and imported the models of Oblivion, that might have been killed by Bethesda. Instead, they’ve taken on the ludicrous challenge of recreating a game down to the last detail, and it gives them total legal immunity.

Just saying that if the people who are meant to be fans of your supposed game of the year are tearing into the dozens of issues the game has, most of which were solved in POE1, it doesn’t have a very strong argument.

Pretty sure most POE2 players would disagree with this.

It is the 41st millenium. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be relearned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.

Feel like Warframe is the closest we’ll ever get, and that’s okay.

Oh… That explains the toxicity…

3 Tanks + 3 Heals, designed to group on an objective and slowly grind out a victory. Blizzard spent quite a lot of time getting rid of the strategy in OW1, and it has never been possible in OW2, because it’s both boring to play and boring to play against. mm

Considering Rivals has already fallen into a GOATS meta and NetEase seems poised to repeat literally every one of Blizzard’s mistakes…I wouldn’t be so sure. I’ll keep giving Valve the edge because Deadlock is a fundamentally good competitive game, and it’s backed by the guy responsible for making DOTA 2 the best balanced competitive game. Maybe it won’t stay at the top, but 10 years from now it’s going to be trundling on and Rivals will not.

This doesn’t really surprise me. Overwatch 2 is basically a momument to the rot at the core of Blizzard. Its biggest saving grace is that there hasn’t been a serious challenger in the hero brawler space (sorry Concord) until now.

For my money, I still think Deadlock is going to be the game that comes out on top, but it probably needs another full year to cook.

Please bro just a little bit more groooowth. I promise we’ll unlock all the money in the world if we can just have a littile more grooowwth.

Why is Warcraft specifically Blizzard’s fucking kryptonite? Starcraft Remastered is great and has the super cute Carbot reskin. D2 Resurrected is an awesome recreation of Diablo 2. Warcraft 3 Resurrected is still a shitshow even after the 2.0 patch, and 1+2 have the quality of an old mobile game.

Shields have a base DR of 50%, so it’s better to go shield-based on low armor frames, and Nova P has very high base shields to scale off Primed Redirection compared to her pretty low base HP. You still aren’t really that vulnerable to toxin, because 90% dr will typically prevent you from getting one-tapped up to like level 500, but I helminthed Pillage to clear debuffs anyway. I’m actually on Growing Power and no augurs, since between Pillage and Aegis I never run out of shields anyway.

The Hek is my preference for her. Fills up Antimatter drop with a single alt-fire, typically for a few million damage.

I would honestly drop Overextended. Your stretch should supply enough range.

If I may, why are you using Vitality? Nova is a lot stronger with Primed Redirection + Arcane Aegis to handle survivability.

Ah yes, Horizon Zero, a series well known for being very unique and definitely not another open-world crafting/survival/action game. Are people angry that they’ll be playing a copy of a copy?

Eh, it’s about right for goblins though. Their racial mount is a motorcycle and they’ve built mechs, it’d honestly be weird if they couldn’t make cars.

Not technically gameplay or genre based, but god I fucking hate games made in Unreal Engine, because they often have a shit-ton of extra post-processing effects going on that you just cannot turn off. There’s been a lot of games that I’ve had to set down forever because the combination of bad FOV and being unable to fix the motion blur/ambient occlusion/film grain(don’t get me started) just makes them nauseating to look at for too long.

I know there were some rumors that the game might get re-launched free-to-play, but I feel like that was just going to cause Concord to flop twice. The game already had a free open beta that nobody played, relaunching now would just be throwing more good money after bad.

It’s a shame to shut down the studio though, especially when none of it seems like their fault. They delivered the shitty overwatch clone corporate asked for, and now they’re going to lose their jobs for fulfilling the brief. Meanwhile the dumbass execs who wanted Concord get to keep failing upwards.
