Particularly when it looks like vomit?

"Oh boy I've always wanted a game where cyber ninjas fight cowboys fight space gorillas fight...etc."

Like where's the fun in a game whose thematic basis is "nothing, just whatever, fuck you"

I never found it fun enough to outweigh the complete lack of an interesting play world.

People seem to put gameplay on the highest pedestal when the actual game aesthetics/setting has to be something you want to be immersed in before the gameplay is even relevant.

Overwatch (and most MOBAs and MOBA-likes) are the kind of games that were designed by gameplay designers/coders first and then told everyone else to just do whatever.

It's like putting a 750-hp engine in an 02 Ford Focus.

Sex appeal
FP"S" game that doesn't require skill to be good at, focusing more on skill use and teamwork instead of shooting
Smaller maps that you can't get lost in
Focused objectives to try to help random teams coordinate better

It's fun, mostly.

I'm with TC though. I couldn't get over how goofy it was. I'll get it when I can get it super cheap so I can play with my friends more, but I wasn't invested enough in the world to go full tilt.

On a serious not, this. Watching Overwatch reminds me of my father when he used to say "Video games are for kids", he may not be 100% correct but games like Overwatch makes me think of that.

Context was important but go ahead and take everything piece by piece when it suits you.

But you manage to have bad taste in literally every game related topic I see you post in, so that doesn't seem like you are saying much...

I love it when people can't handle criticism so they have to pretend you're the absolute extreme end of whatever exaggeration they've got going on in their heads.
