The first nigga on the video. Karen Laur.
No way that's a woman. Age caught up with the bitch.
Now the nigga only worked on half life in 1999. But we all know trannies ruin everything, and just by having this creature in the office the foul taint of it's axe wound will engulf the office like a bad omen. Should've kept that nigga out, nigga looks like a zombie.

I believe that's a real woman, valve wouldn't even hire black guys in their based years
i think half of the woman in this photo are the devs wives
interview with an ex-employee: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/e...ny-for-feeling-like-high-school/1100-6411126/
"we would interview very talented people and then they would be rejected by the old-timers in Valve as not fitting the culture."
valve was the only based company remaining which makes the DEI stuff in deadlock even more depressing

I'm very excited. It's gonna be great, there's a lot of depth from what I've seen so far. A lot of people think it's Overwatch with creeps and don't seem to understand that it's supposed to be a slow macro fast micro competitive game that will require a lot of hours to learn like DOTA.
The only people who are pushing back are the guys who hate everything and say things like "goyslop" about any new game, and the rabid diehard TF2 community that refuses to let their necrotic dress up game die. I love hero shooters and have always had faith in Valve to make good games. (Artifact was good, just not popular)
The artstyle is sick in a subtle way, very stylish. One of the issues with "Early Access" games these days is that a lot of games use it as a way to release their game while generating hype from streamers. When a game ACTUALLY is released in a "beta test" phase, idiots don't really get the concept that it's not finished and complain that it looks and feels unfinished...no shit.
As far as DEI shit goes, I don't really see it. I have my own criticisms of the direction Valve is taking with regards to playing towards mass appeal, but as long as the internal company culture and development process stays relatively unchanged, I have faith in the quality of the games themselves. They seem to be marketing more towards mass appeal rather than pandering towards woke demographics. The fact that the game is a hero shooter with DOTA gameplay and Half-Life aesthetics is, to me, a sign that they're putting a lot of resources into this and trying to take aspects of everything that made their previous games successful and capitalizing on the Valve strong suits. I'm honestly a little surprised that they're going with a darker tone, as a lot of the signature Valve (Reddit) humor is missing in the dialogue. I assume this is deliberate however, since every major media property has a "bright cartoony" version and "dark gritty" alternative. This is while an obvious attempt at capitalizing on the market vacuum of good hero shooters, meant to attract players that prefer DOTA to League and CS to Apex. Valve art has always had a soft spot for 1940s-60s aesthetics.
What could kill this game in my opinion is the lack of advertising. Valve needs to understand that, like Nintendo, their reputational power depends on nostalgia (likely another reason they went with the artstyle) and can no longer expect to release a game out of the blue with no marketing and get numbers. A depthy game is a slow burn in both gaining popularity and losing it. A case study like GIGANTIC shows that even if you have a dedicated nostalgic fanbase, you can quickly die out if the game doesn't have that feeling of excitement and wanting to play when you aren't. I want to be excited about new builds and clever ideas and want to rush back to my PC to play another round. If they could do it with a genre like MOBAs I don't doubt that they can repeat it with a MOBA disguised as a hero shooter (like Overwatch). A company that large will be able to support the game and consistently release new heroes, items, big patches, etc. The big concern is "Can Valve release a game that isnt a sequel to their other games without massive backlash?". I think so, but they need to market the fuck out of it and make it feel and look like a Valve game (and not DOTA auto chess).
Also, Karen Laur is a nice lady.

Deadslop. Combining Overwatch, TF2, Counter Strike and DOTA is like combining pizza, Chinese food, sandwiches and ice cream. Individually these foods are good, but blend them together and you get inedible slop that only KingCobraJFS would eat.
I'm done with AAA games and not even Valve can be redeemed. Wake me up when a major studio releases something that's not a trend chasing cash grab.

Honestly after looking at the screenshots and whatnot, it might be time for Valve to pack it up and just rebrand itself to Steam.

So you found the inspiration for my comment.
This takes me back to this old video from 2013 called "If Valve were 100% honestly with us". Where GabeN says "We don't make games anymore! We used to make games, but now we make money!"

How will they keep it fun until they learn and will that level of fun be enough to keep people playing?
If this is just like LoL, we'll see people who do learn enjoying it, but Overwatch hit "Fuck you everyone who isn't me can't play for shit" within a week of its release.
What's it like working for Valve?
I'd argue you can see it in the lore, but it's bad.
Completely agree with you on this one.

That channel is exactly the gay shit I hate. "Dude everything new sucks everything is shit I'm so ironic and doompilled". Not one of his videos is anything but bitching

I agree.
I gave it 5 minutes and he's really onto a whole lot of nothing.
Emplemon is more specialized in writing long winded documentaries compared to giving opinionated pieces. I don't know why he even had a second channel since it clearly lacks editing. Boring B roll, lack of music, low quality footage, etc. He just sounds dead overall. I really hope it's just a failed experiment and not a way for his fans to jerk him off extra.
Yeah I'm just retarded and still not convinced. There are just too many indicators that say otherwise.
The weird ass voice, the dyke ass look, the weathered down appearance, the uncanny vibe it gives off.
I'll never truly know unless I see what lies underneath, what future archaeologists will say upon inspection of it's bones, or someone finds out by digging in deeper than me. Tits are not really good indicators whether someone is female or not.
Frauds like @cosdestiny on twitter turned out to be a man. I guess you could say finding out scarred me or some shit, lol.
If you goon to this. You're gay.

It's a side channel for him to post his rants on, it's never been anything more, and I don't know what you expect. His main is still Emplemon and doesn't have much in common with it besides the green filter.

i managed to snag an invite to the alpha and have played a few matches and i don't really see where to comparisons with TF2 and CS come from, if anything it is entirely Dota fused with something akin to third person Overwatch (and exclusively OW heroes that have very limited mobility options).

it's been pretty meh, but i think 90% of that is due to nobody knowing how to play and games being complete steamrolls so you don't really get to play, i've played like 10 PvP matches and 8 of them were complete stomps where one team basically has to eat shit for 20-30 minutes (not dissimilar to League in that regard).
i'm curious how they're going to present it cause it is derivative slop in every sense, Valve probably saw Concord's reception and they want to avoid another collective public groan moment like when they did announced Artifact.

Valve could ship it out without any fanfare or announcement, but given their history of cancelling projects outright, even if they're almost or fully finished, they'll most likely not release it at all. But then again, this isn't the Valve of old, so they'll probably release it to try to get some money back from suckers.

It does make me wonder if anyone on the dev team is worried about the oversaturation of hero shooters on the market now. We just had 3 announced in the past 2 weeks alone, and the collective response I've seen with them has been "Ugh, another one?"
