i'm one of those autists that revisited Valve games a second time for the developer commentary just to hear insight on how the design philosophy resulted in L4D, TF2 and HL/Portal maps/levels and i would hate to know what a developer commentary has to say for what we're seeing now.

granted things could still change, but this practice of repackaging derivative concepts in a new coat of paint is something i associate more with Riot's development philosophy while i expect Valve to not similarly chase after trends (especially after Artifact) and to do something cooler than this (like updating TF2).

I miss SMNC so I am mildly hopeful about this.

Super Monday Night Combat felt so unfinished and half baked, if they were going more in the moba direction they should've just gone all the way and added items and more ways to build your character because without it everything felt too tame.

Monday Night Combat was an amazing game though, the setting/chargers were over the top and just dumb fun and the gameplay had every class being broken just in different ways and it was so good.

Aside from ranting about MNC since the opportunity never comes up, I kinda doubt this game will match anything I liked about MNC and there's never going to be anything like it again. I could see it maybe being SMNC but better but also Valve just copies other games without even thinking about why something was implemented into another game before stealing it for theirs so if it's good it'll be by pure luck and they'll ruin it pretty quickly with updates.

You might like this interview:
This guy ALSO doesn't work at Valve anymore.

This clip is especially interesting with the additional context of knowing how many of the Valve old guard are gone; because it implies the people working on Deadlock are not only younger, but young and without mentorship or guidance from the people who made the "good" Valve games.

At least we know now what was the game that Sweet Baby Inc worked on from VALVE that they included them as their clients on their webpage.

I think it's a logical conclusion that valve may flush down the shitter in the future. Now that we've got evidence that Sweet Baby inc has them by the balls, Valve is adhering to a shareholder's demands by having their game shat on by a woke consulting company.

The company may or may not be private anymore. Because if it still was, noone at valve would have logically created this piece of shit or have Sweet Baby Inc on board to begin with.

Poor Gabe is growing old. We need to preserve his brain in an artificial intelligent cooler otherwise new ownership may be the doom of the company and of us all.

I wish I wasn't an ignorant fool. That tranny from the Half Life 25th anniversary was a sign of the ruin to come.

I only pray that it's another Artifact. They wouldn't have put in too much work into making and publicizing this game if they weren't planning on releasing it in the first place.

Hey look, Dreadroberts noticed the same thing I did about the they/them
It's possible they'll try to spin it as "Oh this character is just hiding their identity!" but Valve already had a character with an unknown gender.

Im not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but Im pretty sure Gabe lost 50% of his valve shares to his wife after his divorce. He doesn't even own the company anymore.

Fanfuckingtastic, Valve is going to die from 1000 knives by way of a divorced wine mom using magical money slips to approve of DEI and trend chasing. It's like the world is destined to cause a third retard war with things like these.

4channers would jack off to a rock if it had a wig of a woman's hair. Still I am suspecting that this might have been a shilling campaign to make this game seem cool to 4chan, wouldn't have been the first dogshit pozzed game that had astroturfed threads on /v/.

Im not sure if its a shilling campaign or not, there were too many people who seemed interested, and also people were making fanart.
This is what the character looks like btw. Doesn't even look like a woman. The only thing female about it is the name.

Something tells me now would be a good time to download everything single game I own on Steam and back it up on a hard drive somewhere. Most of them can easily be cracked to be played without the launcher, so it's all good. Better now than later...
Oh right, the game. I got nothing new to say: Artifact 2.0, way after the Battle Royale craze, who asked for this. ect.
It's getting more and more awkward for Valve: THIS is what they were working on instead of a new TF2 update or Half Life 3. Sweet Baby invasion doesn't make things any better, but I guess now we know that Alyx having her voice actor replaced for HL:A was no coincidence.

I actually like hero shooters because i am a causal. The only one i've played is Paladins though.
I like the formula because it usually has longer TTK compared to other shooters and therefore reaction times aren't everything. I as a player with mediocre aim can still do well in these types of games.
Plus there are skills that let you heal yourself, disengage from enemies when you are in trouble, and also support roles. All of these things make hero shooters an ideal genre for casuals like me that don't want to improve at multiplayer games to enjoy them
Still, i wish that they had hotter women in the roster. I would look forward to it more. I will probably like marvel rivals more than this game.

Her backstory is that she's the protector of a latino family from Spanish Harlem.

FIFY. Also lads, remember to always get a pre-nup to make sure a potential backstabbing whore doesn't get your legacy.
