It's an anime aesthetic.

There's nothing inherently wrong with it. For me personally I hate the casualization and dumbing down that it brings. You like dumb watered down toddler games I guess. That's OK.
And it's very disappointing that the creators of great more mature themed games like diablo 1 and 2 are now making little timmy trash like this.

So pretend that you're just pointing out aesthetic decisions that you don't like, and then claim that anyone who likes the game is a toddler. Yeah...



And btw, the team that made Diablo was Blizzard North. They left for Flagship Studios and developed their own game - "Hellgate London".

Flagship Studios doesn't exist anymore.

It will be interesting to see what people on metacritic have to say about it when it comes out.

I've seen some gameplay footage-it looks like a braindead Timmy game to me. Their little Disney Pixar trailer and lack of blood is reinforcing that.

Yes, we get it. You don't like it. And you think anyone who might even conceive of liking the game is a brain-dead idiot who couldn't figure out how to properly travel down a one-way street. Kinda like how I think that Diablo II is one of the most boring, tedious, monotonous games ever, and don't understand how people were able to get through all five acts.

The difference is that I don't obsessively post about Diablo II. Nor do I blatantly insult the people who liked the game.

Don't forget, he's also a great Hearthstone player

Sooooooo edgy!
I mean, damn, even Dirty Bomb doesn't have blood. Is Dirty Bomb for little Timmy too now?

Well, to be fair, Dirty Bomb's attempts at humor really seem to be directed at little swaglord Timmy.

Come on, the mercs lines are gold!

Its hard to believe someone could spend 400 on that stupid game.

Money only has value to the degree to which it allows you to enrich your life. If the food's bought, the mortgage is paid and your savings are on track that $400 is nothing but number sitting in the "Discretionary Spending" part of your budget. Some hearthstone cards, a fancy dinner, or a bunch of silly outfits for your dog might just bring you some measurement of enjoyment.

EDIT:

I can understand if you don't want to spend money on overwatch or hearthstone, they don't fit your tastes after all. You'd want to spend money on things you enjoy. To that end I'll make you an offer:

Give me $400 and I'll produce you some images of an erect penis, dual-wielding axes, ejaculating acid-blood to melt some kittens as it shouts profanity with tons of flaming skulls (rotating of course), in the background. I'm sure the fix of "Mature' content will do you some real good.


EDIT(AGAIN): For another $50 I'll add big bouncing titties.

I almost want to spend the 400$ just to see you try now. Almost .
Edit: Damn. 450$. Damn you, you money-grubbing uncle Scrooge. Can't you do some discount for Christmas?

For you, half price!

225$? What a bargain! Can I pay in bytecoins?

I think this game looks interesting. Looks like Big Hero 6.
Splatoon had a lot of nay-sayers, but that game was awesome!

I'll definitely give this game a chance.

Here's the code to redeem your bytecoins:

And don't forget: a bytecoin is worth 8 bitcoins!

I am anxiously waiting for popularity to pick up. Anxiously waiting for fan art of widowmaker, tracer, phara, etc...on rule34...

lols an phantom is an obvious deadpool/slade knock off.

Hi five to anyone who understands the Halloween H20 reference with Busta Ryhmes.

Hum, not really. I can't see it at all. No third-wall breaking, no fethed up memory, ...

You serious :/ ? Makes me sad.

I got into the beta! Can't wait to play!

I got into the Overwatch beta! As I love Pandaren and love Frost you can guess which hero I am spamming. I sucked hard at first but as time passes I notice that I start sucking less and I love love love it!

This games sounds exciting I want beta now.

Didn't get into the first round of the beta, nor did I get into this one :(

Want me to lend you my account to try the game a bit?

I am pretty sure that is very bannable. They will detect the IP change.

I did this a bunch of time already. Sigvatr tried Heroes of the Storm a bunch of time on my account, and I let a bunch of people try Overwatch too.
Blizzard detect the IP change, but connecting from a new place is not against the rule. They just increase security and ask extra questions before allowing to connect.

I'm unsure how I went so long being unaware this existed. But now I've seen it, I'm a happy bunny.
Seems like a good gap filler for the void City of Heroes left in my heart.

Fair enough!

Also, hot damn, looks like Mei isn't what I am destined for after all. O.o Tried another hero.

Having played it, Overwatch was one of those games I enjoyed so much that I could stop talking about it for its design and aesthetic choice. Its a unique choice in this super realistic and terrible cartoon colors.

That and all the customization you can do in the game is enough for me to want to preorder it. Hilariously I have only preordered CD PROJECT Red games and Blizzard games because I know the quality and price pint will always be on point.

I personally love Genji, Tracer, Bastion, and The Big Colossal guy with the hammer.

Its choices of having so that you can change your hero on the fly just makes it so pleasing and so interesting.

I'm in! Mercy is still my favorite, but I've been playing a lot of S76 to practice at my basic shooter mechanics (which are quite poor).

Yay threadromancy!

So... Open Beta starts on the 5th.. Anyone else gonna play? I'm planning to try it on my Xbox.

A little bummed that it's on online deathmatch game only, and there's no single player campaign.. So it'll have to be super awesome to get me to buy it. Feel like I got burned on Battlefront and Rainbow 6 Siege, cuz I didn't bother reading that they were multiplayer only when I bought them. Online shooters get real old for me real fast, probably because I suck so bad.

But.. beta is free so at least I can try before I buy

Basically everyone I know has pre-ordered this thing, including folks aren't normally blizzard fans. Even my buddy who normally has stance of not touching anything that isn't F2P or on sale for 75% off has already pre-ordered it.

Yeah I’m seeing commercials all over the place. I think I might have seen a couple here and there for Diablo, but that’s about it. Guess they’re really pushing this one, but sometimes that makes me worry since overhyped games and movies usually end up sucking. So I’ll preorder if I like the beta. Glad they’re giving us a chance to try it first… wish more games would be like that.

This game holds very little interest to me. I did like the trailer and appreciate the artistic skill that went into it as well as the aesthetic. What I don't like are the stripperific costumes with the spandex pants rammed up the behind.


And then there was the Tracer win pose.



Now, granted, it's not as gratuitous as the bikini armor for WoW, especially the Dragon Aspects and Sylvanas (not to mention Blizzard's passive endorsement of the half-naked cosplayers that constantly parade around their stage), but still...FFS...do we really need to see catsuit's up the ass and ultimate cleavage? It's 2016 FFS...when we still stop reducing female characters to sex symbols?
