Sony hate thread

[Incecticyder]

It wasn't that the pronouns were "Professor" but that's what the weirdo demanded everyone call him, her, whatever the gender, I don't remember. So they literally had to call this person "The Professor" or else get fired I guess.

I think she got fired but I am not sure.

 

[Vyse Inglebard]

When even a soy-cuck like SomeCallMeJohnny feels the need to call you out, you know you done fucked up (he has to couch this in asterisks, of course, so the Twatter audience he caters to don't skin him alive):

I mean as much as I'd like to deny it, the sheer deluge of porn that hasn't ended to this day to my knowledge seems to indicate some kind of mass appeal.

I think you have the reason backwards, somehow Overwatch as a game had mass appeal and that lead to the deluge of character porn. I bet there's tons of porn of that disgusting creature I posted earlier too just because Overwatch is huge. Almost anything popular gets a flood of porn, though I suppose people do like the characters for some reason too.

Still, the design is C+ at best, even the most generic anime girl is more appealing (both as a cuter design and a more interesting character to fight as, look at her suit, it's so boring).

Blizzard committee designed the original Overwatch characters to death before the game's reveal and release, right down to making sure that all of them were cosplayable. Its a huge part of why they ended up being so popular.

Then that's probably also why anybody with any taste is bored to tears by them too though.

That explains why I didn't give a damn about the game or the character. My BS sensors were tingling.

How is trying to give characters appealing designs BS?

C'mon, that's obtuse.

The designs in Overwatch work because they inform you about the characters and their gameplay: Rheinhart is dressed like a knight in heavy armor because he is a tank that believes in chivalry. Tracer clothes denot her as a speedy character who used to be a pilot. Zarya is a powerlifter who became a soldier and exposes her arm muscles to show that. Moira is dressed as a cyberpunk witch and she plays as one too. Every little thing tells you about their personality and gameplay. You do not have to like their designs but you cannot deny that there was a lot of thought in them.

Concord characters are not only physicaly unappealing, their designs just refuse to inform you of what they do. This was an attempt to prevent stereotyping but that does not work. You see rogues dressed watermelon red, serious cowboys dressed in turquoise and looking like an idiot no one would take seriously and a fatso that looks like he wears a diaper.

That explains why I didn't give a damn about the game or the character. My BS sensors were tingling.

Then that's probably also why anybody with any taste is bored to tears by them too though.

Something being popular does not mean that people who like it are sheep with no taste. It just means that you have different taste or that you are a hipster. It does not make you smarter than the rest. The point is that, despite what Blizzard has become, they new what they were doing designing their heroes. Hell, I do not like most Overwatch designs but I would be lying if I said that they are not good, at least the earlier ones as the later ones do not have as much thought.

That's kinda interesting from a game design perspective. Doesn't make them look any better though.

Nobody said that, pretty disingenuous. We're just saying it makes sense why the characters are soulless trash considering how they were designed. Mickey Mouse is popular, Pikachu is popular, Goku is popular, Superman is popular, I'm not saying that about them.

Here is you saying that anyody with any taste is bored to tears by them. Do not lie. Do not get me wrong, I do not think that they are the best designed characters ever but soulless trash is too much. Concord truly does have soulless characters with any appeal ironed out to make sure everyone is represented and no one is offended. Characters were not allowed to be too attractive and appealing as to not offend the uggos of the world. Too feminine was a no go and so it was for too masculine. At least Overwatch took some risks in the woke enviroment and made characters that could appeal to a variety of tastes. Concord just shoves random stuff on pre-existing archetypes until you can no longer tell what you are looking at. That is bad design. Overwatch is not always a hit with its designs but at no point are you confused with what you are looking at.

 

[Edgy But Dull]

Are there numbers to back this up or just the woke retard on Twitter as the source?

Kirby Discovery sold > 7 million units

No, he's just basing it off of charts from a 3rd party and claims he's not allowed to state specific numbers as part of the business deal.

Reading the comment chain and the original article, it's amusing how much of a Sony cocksucker this guy is
Archive of the article so you don't have to deal with gameindustry.biz's horrendous shit and give them views

• September 2024 game sales up 20% over September 2023, so lol Starfield
• The chart they present from GSD only shows up to the top 10
• The Crew 2, a 2018 game, is at #2 because it was on sale for $1, so everyone bought it
• Space Marine 2 came in third and it is 2024's best-selling new game after only a few weeks (as this only tracks September) [based on the rest of the article, that's "Europe 2024 best-selling"]
• Space Marine 2 is the fastest-selling Warhammer game and after only 4 weeks, its close to becoming the all time best-selling Warhammer game in Europe, beating the Total War: Warhammer titles. Seeing as its mid-October and the game isn't dead, it probably has already done that.
• Astrobot came in at 4th and is only mentioned in reference to Sonic Frontiers, Crash 4, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Astrobot did 34%, 52%, and 7.5% higher respectively. These games weren't huge hits and this is a Europe only data from what I can gather. Only doing 7.5% higher than Ratchet & Clank isn't a colossal achievement
• New Zelda game came in at 8th and was only on sale for a week by the time the chart was compiled and based only on physical sales as Nintendo doesn't share digital figures with the chart makers
• Age of Mythology Retold at 12th
• PC Release of GOW Ragnarok at 15th and FF16 is at 27th
• Harry Potter Quidditch Champions at 28th but the Switch version isn't out until November
• Dead Rising Remaster at 48th and Epic Mickey at 83rd
• 335k hardware sold, down 18% YoY for September
• PS5 at #1 but sales down 17% YoY while Switch in second but saw a 1.5% increase
• The PS5 dualsense is the leading controller, which they claim is potentially due to the Astro Bot version but it's likely because their controllers have planned obsolescence
• In his tweets, he says Astrobot sold better than Kirby in Europe

To summarize how retarded this all is, what we can interpret based on the shitty non-numerical info and this Sony cocksucker's attempt to glaze Sony:
Astrobot's combined physical and digital sales did worse than just the physical sales of Bowser's Fury in Europe.

Show me where I said I'm

smarter than the rest

because I don't like it? Yeah, some people have shit taste in art, so what? I stand by that.

In fact, I'll actually make you partially right and say, yes, if anybody likes that tranny-esque character specifically then I'm smarter than them

 

[Incecticyder]

It is more of your attitude. It is true that some people have shit taste. But that is just it, taste. Having a different taste than you does not mean it is a shit taste. That is what I mean. I am saying that I propably disagree with when it comes to something you like but I will not call you taste shit. What repulse one, entices the other. You will not agree on everything but do not dismiss others either.

In fact, I'll actually make you partially right and say, yes, if anybody likes that tranny-esque character specifically then I'm smarter than them

Zarya is not a tranny. Just masculine. A tomboy if you will. There are trannies and you are right the fact that no one likes those. I suppose I have more tolerance for a muscular woman than you do. I do draw the line with Junker Queen though. Her body is athletic but in OW2 they gave her a jaw that could crush stone. No thanks. Her original OW1 concept are had her with softer facial features.

That's kinda interesting from a game design perspective. Doesn't make them look any better though.

An aside but I think one of the best examples of this notion applied is Dota heroes, at least up until the Dota 2 originals. Their names and designs suggest what they do and their abilities (for the most part) look like they do what you think they do. This was actually the reason I ended up sticking with Dota instead of League as League names and designs I felt didn't have much to do with what they did or how they played and abilities looked like a fucking mess.

Zarya is a bulldyke, not a tomboy.

 

[Incecticyder]

Zarya is a bulldyke, not a tomboy.

Fair, she is kinda fat for a tomboy. Still, prettier (apart from the pyromancer and the alien chick) and better designed than most Concord characters.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

Up to a certain point I agree. There's reasonable differences in taste for sure. There's a limit though. Some people were trying to defend Concord for example, probably lying and only saying it to defend their ideology at any and all costs, but still.

A tomboy if I won't. That thing is no tomboy, Tracer is closer to a tomboy but even then not quite, she's still too ambiguous looking. A proper tomboy is like Princess Daisy or something.

Never played it, but Street Fighter is usually pretty good about this too. Characters fight like you'd think for the most part.

Her jawline is troon city. I joked about that myself, she is less unattractive than anything from Concord. Faint praise though.

Almost no one bought Concord. Even those defending it were either bots or idealogues. Those who said they liked the characters lied. A hero shooter lives and dies by the character designs. Both appearence and gameplay.

Daisy is more of a girly girl with a tomboyish streak, in my opinion but fair.

And that is stereotyping. SJWs think that stereotypes are always a bad thing and they avoid them (and fall into other far more hurtfull stereotypes in the process).

It is more masculine than average but the hairstyle is what frames her face as such more. She looks better in skins with longer hair.

 

[Hermiöne Granger]

Concord might be back soon

 

[Corette]

Having a different taste than you does not mean it is a shit taste.

Absolutely preposterous!
