Goes to show how far Blizzard has fallen that they resorted to copying porn characters when they made Overwatch. What happened to all the good character designers?

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 93 points 1 month ago

They work in porn now, apparently

This Art dude sounds like an asshole.

[–] Frog@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

Even less now that AI is copy and pasting art together.

What happened to all the good character designers?

Working on deadlock

They should have fired the overwatch game development team, kept the art team and done a full pivot into porn. They could have ruled the market.

she's actually from a meme:

I didn't know until this thread that this character is from Overwatch or that there is apparently a lot of porn of her. I only knew it as a random meme format.

It's caused by teenagers being horny.

Now is the future, and Gen Alpha tracks characters from r34 back to the origin.

Happens more often than not for me

Wait, It's not a category?

[–] Whorehoarder@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 1 month ago (4 children)

It's an fps though. How would he know if you only see gun and space-magic staff?

[–] ObsidianZed@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well you see, there are sometimes 9 other players out there.

[–] loutr@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

If he's playing Mercy, 4 of these 9 aren't playing her. And if there's one on the other team, the fact that he's playing Mercy is irrelevant.

[–] cheddar@programming.dev 26 points 1 month ago

the fact that he’s playing Mercy

[–] teegus@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He didnt say he was playing her, he said he was playing with her.

[–] Whorehoarder@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 1 month ago

Alright sold. Back to the meaning of life.

[–] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

could people maybe.. oh idk.. lie on the internet?

[–] Whorehoarder@lemmynsfw.com 10 points 1 month ago

What in the absolute god damn fuck?! Ridiculous.

[–] danjoubu@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Character portrait?

[–] Alk@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

When you die you see your whole character. I guess OP was very bad.

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

When you game company collapses under the weight of a previous genration of success and let's board of investors, who couldn't make a fun game if all the pieces fell into their lap, direct all the managers of a project to do whats currently trending rather than innovative and do something that makes sense for the IP and gente.

The f do you even mean. Overwatch was a hugely popular, fun and successful game. Basically got the hero shooter genre off the ground by itself (and no, TF2 isn't a hero shooter). Their problem came later, with new heroes and balance changes that invalidated other heroes. If you loved playing the big dude with the shield, the addition of characters that can stun you and disable the shield through it made you stop playing. If you played the sniper, the removal of full charged bodyshots killing weaker, fast characters was the death of her and made you stop playing. Repeat for multiple other characters that were incredibly fun and got changed or impacted by new heroes, add in the ones that were broken from the start (i.e. angel chick invalidating an entire push using a single button) and the game will stop people playing.
