@Gunnerzaurus 100% this, if Widowmaker didn't exist then Black Widows kit in Rivals would've been based on something else, maybe Skye from Paladins, and the sniper role would've likely gone to a marvel hero more akin to the TF2s Sniper or Strix from Paladins. I love Rivals but people don't seem to realize how much netease kit designs are inspired/copied from other games especially Overwatch and Paladins
@Solingo_Bill Sadly i could see Compulsion closing down the second the game releases, seeing the rumours of how bad their work culture is and the absolute state we happy few launched in does not paint a good picture for their future
With the smoke cleared it seems this is more than just redundancies, most the devs behind the new Blizz game have been sacked and a few artists and designers from the Overwatch team have been cut lose
This might be a good change There are games where one supports exclusively heal there irl friend Or games where a Genji in the backline just screams "HEAL DIFF I NEVER GET HEALS BLYAT!" But this will definitely shake up the meta in more ways than one
It was definitely better than the PS showcase But sadly I don't think we will see most of those Xbox studios games anytime soon Clockwork and Fable will probably go MIA for another 2+ years if we are lucky
They showed gameplay for Avowed so I'm suspecting that'll be the next big game after Starfield to come out... maybe the gameplay definitely needs a little work
The whole showcased made me wish Sony showed us more of games not coming out anytime soon
@Sakai I'm guessing Foss patents is that guy Florian Mueller on twitter. I've never heard of him till the block news, but going through his twitter he seems a little... unhinged.
damn I remember back in the day on bush camp, me and my friends speculated if the PS3 will ever exist, we didn't even have proper Telkom internet in my small town back then to check, god i feel old now
@themightyant another good reason for the PS2s success was the fact that it was a cheapish DVD player
My Gran dad had 3 PS2s just to watch DVDs in different rooms never once played a game on them himself
Yea its a real sh*t show, me and my sister have been struggling to rank up for ages, we get to silver 1 and get matched with gold 1s & 2s Win 7 games in a row, nothing changes lose 2 or more games then expect a de-rank to silver 4/5 when it comes round Its like it doesn't want us to get the gold rank rewards end of season
theHunter Cotw is a good game with some problems but still fun to play, looking forward to theAngler so long as it like theHunter Cotw monitization wise We don't need another fishing planet
The only purchase I'd be happy with is Konami, they are literally doing nothing with there games Just buy the bulk of there IPs and what devs they have left They can leave Yu gi oh, PES and the pachinko machines to what's left of Konami
@ATaco I think Embracer Group might be the biggest in terms of studio amounts, They have bought and merged with a few big and small studios the past few years
Data is real but damn... so many games mentioned here make me think they are just placeholders or jokes by some random NVidia intern
I remember Gods will fall and Gods fall being the rumored name for Injustice 2, I mean its possible WB/NR took the name but damn it feels out of place now days and Bayonetta 3... i don't think Nintendo will ever allow bayonetta out of there hands anytime soon

Re: More Overwatch 2 Controversy Over Passive Healing for More Heroes
This might be a good change
There are games where one supports exclusively heal there irl friend
Or games where a Genji in the backline just screams "HEAL DIFF I NEVER GET HEALS BLYAT!"
But this will definitely shake up the meta in more ways than one

Re: PS2's Best-Selling Console Crown in Jeopardy As Nintendo Switch Passes PS4
