Overwatch

This will almost certainly just result in PC players beating the living shit out of console ones nearly every time, right?

It depends how generous the aim assist is in console versions - but there will absolutely be one "best version" of the game.

Typically it's PC, but if the game has too much "aim assist" a good player will become an aimbot on a console. It also means there is 4 times as many ways for the game to get compromised in some way (ex - an exploit on the switch can now be used in crossplay matches).

Aim assist is shit, so PC fags can breathe a sigh of relief.

When i played the game i played on PS4 before switching to PC. Unless they did some tweaking to the aim assist i don't see it effecting anything because i remember having to turn it off or toning it down because it screwed up my shots.

 

[Smug Chuckler]

Aim assist is turned off if console peasants are queued with the PCermensch anyway

So, in light of the dumpster fire that is the Acti-Blizz Sexual Harassment case, they’re renaming McCree because he was named after an accused developer

Acti-Bliz, just accept that most people only gave a shit about Overwatch after its first year because of the SFM videos and move on...

 

[Sinner's Sandwich]

they’re renaming McCree

He is going to become a Ma'am isn't he...? Imagine all that deadnaming sperging from twitter wokists.

 

[The Fair Lady]

They have a LOT to redo then, almost doesn’t feel worth it. Especially since they’re pushing back story content and replacing it with a map of all things.

 

[Leaf Wage Slave]

If fucking only. I’d actually reinstall this dumpster fire if they just went full shitpost

They won’t, because being “offensive” in verboten nowadays...

Twitter's gonna twitter;

Blizzard plz change cowboy daddy name because rape man

ok here

OH YOU THINK THAT FIXES ANYTHING?!

That said good on 'em. They'd already dabbled with a "secret backstory" involving the character anyway so it doesn't sound like a huge stretch. Does suck that after like a year and a half of no significant new content they were finally about to drop something of substance and now have to slam the brakes on it because of some fat diddler, but I guess them's the risks you run when taking real peoples names for shit.

This kinda feels like when I have a job I don't want to do, so instead of taking the 15 minutes to do the thing, I procrastinate by doing everything else I can think of instead.

Fanfic writers are gonna be Mcpissed tho.

Ah, it's been years since this has been relevant.

 

[The Grave of Einstein]

Blizzard must be really on edge after becoming known as the rape company to the point that they will shoot themselves in the foot to kowtow to any request. Either that or the Overton window is so far that this is the things companies have to apologize for. Maybe a bit of both.

 

[XANA]

Imagine thinking that virtue signaling that you won't name more characters after actual people is more important than actually doing something about the matter.

Edit: a word

I can't wait for Overwatch 2 to fail hard, the fallout from it will be amazing.

Oh wait shit yeah that's a thing that's supposed to be happening. Yeah if it wasn't going to have a good launch, this PR shitstorm might've mutherfucked it - as is its sole saving grace might be that Gamers are retarded and unless you pull a DICE and actively tell people not to but your game, they'll still CONSOOM,

Sure, Acti-Bliz has nuked any and all goodwill they might've had built up over the last few years, but barring them calling out the paid shills as nigger-faggots - which ironically might bring customers back - I've this sinking feeling this entire situation will wind up memory holed and astroturfed

i fucking love book burning. the nazis and the CCP would be proud.

The game, the community and the company are a self perpetuating trash fire. This is what happens when you pander to the woke crowd with "inclusivity, equity and representation." You attract the attention of the worst kind of people, the ones that will complain about every little thing and they'll go out of their way to find offense in-game and no matter how much the developers bend over backwards to satisfy their demands, they'll never be satisfied.

"That Tracer pose is sexist, that noose spray is racist, there a too many white characters, where are the black women at?, make Symmetra autistic, make Tracer and Soldier76 gay, cowboy man is a symbol of white supremacy and rape culture, REEEEEE!!!"

These people couldn't care any less about Overwatch and the shit show it has turned into, they will take every opportunity to destroy it for the sake of social media clout. Acti-Bliz got what they fucking deserve for turning against their legacy and the core audience that actually bought their games to have a bit of escapist fun.

This post reminds me of the cable company from South Park.
"Ooohhhhh... You want us to change McCree's name? Oops, well we suddenly had a huge update and story thing coming out... Aww, we'll have to postpone that update for a few months now... Oooohhhhhh... Just to rename the cowboy."

 

[FatalTater]

What if they write into the lore (lol they won't put out new lore) that Overwatch was shut down due to allegations of sexual harassment, racism, etc? Like, the entire fictional world is in danger because of woke shit taking out it's protectors? I would LOL irl if that happened.
