Yup. If Doom is so great, why did it only have three games out so far? That makes them, on average, take more than five years between instalments. Shadow Warrior is even worse with more than 16 years between instalments. That's, quite literally more than Duke Nukem Forever.Zhukov said:
Some highly sought games, there. Not.
I can't speak for B-cell (though I suspect he's likely to hate the new COD just as much as he seems to hate Overwatch), but honestly? I'm fairly excited. I could go for a full-on, far-future sci-fi shooter. Maybe Infinity Ward can inject some much needed 'un-realism' into the standard Call of Duty formula. Setting it in the far off future is a good start.erttheking said:
I mean, as dumb as the story was overall, COD: Ghosts had some fantastic set pieces and individual sequences. Among them the opening space segment. So a COD game built, at least in part, around that concept I'm all for. And as long as we get similar aesthetics and movement systems to those in Advanced Warfare and Black Ops 3, I'm sold.
Plus, I could use something to tide me over until Titanfall 2 releases.
Please, please, please tell me you created this account as some kind of performance art mocking dudebros. There is no way you unironically just said, "They are manly and badass..."B-Cell said:
Also: Why did you say hello twice in the OP? Seems redundant.
take LoL, TF2, and Pixar blend them together and you get Overwatch. Put a studio like Blizzard behind it and you're in for a treat!
As a Diablo 3 player I can say that Blizzard listen to its fans and confuses updates with DLC and gives them away free of charge

also there's a gorilla with glasses... a GORILLA with glasses! What's not to like?

Can we get this slapped to the top of the thread somehow? Make it be seen first thing so we can say "Well, thread's done."BloatedGuppy said:
It looks fun? That's about the long short of it. It looks blasty, crazy and overall good looking fun. But nawwww, fun isn't "Manly and badass" and isn't for "hardcore gamers," whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean. Being a "hardcore gamer" and wearing that as a tagline probably means you're not "hardcore." Make the game brown and grey, have gruff guys who sound like their throats are filled with gravel, and you've got a "maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan's game, HUAH!" Am I wrong? I'd love to hear how I'm wrong.
I dunno if Overwatch interests me toooo much, but it does look rather fun. Battleborn sounds like a blast too, so maybe I'll try either when a sale comes up.
I take it B-Cell does this often? I have no interest in Overwatch, but it does have a fun, unique art style going for it. And the character designs look pretty good. Probably because it's not another COD/Battlfield/Spunkgargleweewee clone. Instead, Overwatch is getting its inspirations from Team Fortress 2; nothing wrong with that. There are almost no TF2 style games in the market, so huray for variety.monkeymangler said:

That's because Tracer is smoking hot. Plus I'm a sucker for Cockney accents. Guys or girls. I can watch BBC America and just be entranced by the voices, content be damned.Ezekiel said:
B-Cell makes these threads about twice a week. Either a PSA on how awesome one of his favorite shooters is, or how horrible everything other than his favorite shooters are. No real discussion value to speak of, just that.CoCage said:I take it B-Cell does this often? I have no interest in Overwatch, but it does have a fun, unique art style going for it.

From what I've seen, B-Cell pretty much hatred everything popular.CoCage said:I take it B-Cell does this often? I have no interest in Overwatch, but it does have a fun, unique art style going for it.

Also, Splatoon is a good multiplayer game. Hell TF2 fans apparently love Splatoon.
Holy hell. That's some next level meta-parody...DoPo said:
...if true. I feel it's not. His threads and replies feel too...genuine.
Or maybe that's yet another layer of the shtick? Gah! I don't know. I've seen too much absurdity on the internet to know what's truly sincere or not.
I don't have any interest in buying the game, but I don't see how you can say it looks generic. How many generic shooters have you being a teleporting reaper, or a time rewinding scout, or a flying rocketeer, or.... just glancing through the character list, I'd say I could go on for a long time, but given your past threads, that would be pointless.
Distinctly not surprised, though I also thought the purple skinned sniper would be popular as well.Ezekiel said:
As for Overwatch itself, well I'll take a game with some colour and charm in its cheeks over another grey/brown modern military shooter.
Be careful, you don't want to earn a warning for calling a spade a spade. The mods love B Cell on these forums for some weird reason.BabyfartsMcgeezaks said:
On topic, I'm kind of shocked that B Cell isn't into Overwatch. It seems to have tons in common with TF2 (boy loves him some Valve games) in terms of the classes, art design, and twitchy gameplay. Only visible difference is that there aren't any women in TF2...
...ahhh, thats it.
