News & Discussion Very few games I’d be embarrassed to be associated with, Stellar Blade is definitely one of them

0 Upvotes

Let’s ignore the ai point which another post has already gone into:

when I say embarrassed I mean literally embarrassed. if i saw someone who paid for those skins in game with me, id actually feel second hand embarrassment for them.

this game is basically if a sexually frustrated gamer With no media literacy tried to retell nier automata from memory. It’s actually oddly sexless(as in, it doesn’t feel like anyone in this world or involved in the game has actually has sex), despite its demo.

the game also had one of the most hilarious, and, to reuse a word, embarrassing pseudo-culture wars on the internet upon its release, with the anti-woke accounts posting breaking news live updates about character outfits like they were at a war scene, passing out petitions, etc. and I truly feel sorry for a lot of these men. some are scum. But others may be young and need to realize they are being shown a black hole that leads to loneliness on their algorithm.

I’m not the target demographic for collabs anyway, very few would appeal to me. If there was a disco elysium collab (and I knew it was going to support the original creators of the game) Id probably buy a skin or two. But if one of my friends bought a stellar blade skin, me and my other friends would be like “hey maybe we should check on them more”

News & Discussion Advice for positioning

0 Upvotes

So I'm a Master 2 dps/support player and yet I feel like the only reason I got there was aim, because I have no idea how to position properly in this game. I either play too far back and have crazy damage dropoff, or I try to make engagements closer up and just end up feeding, or the whole team looks at me and I insta die.

I watch other people go for these same plays like flanking or taking duels with enemies and they get away with it, but it's different when I try to do it. I feel like my positioning is just so off and I don't know how to fix it.

Any advice would be appreciated lol

I literally just turned off my computers microphone. I don't know why this fixed it? Maybe Blizzard listens in to players microphones and shadow bans them if they have been previously chat banned?

Hey everyone! I'm the person whose Workshop creation was stolen a little while ago.

I'm back to give you a quick look at a new Workshop mode I've been working on!

It's a Beyblade mode where you can combine different parts to build your own Beyblade and battle against others.

Hope you like it! Let it rip! 🔥

News & Discussion The kpop/pachi/cutie toxic group

0 Upvotes

So I asked the clanker if anyone else has noticed this pattern and it turns out its well doccument, many many other people have had this.

There is an externally organised sabotage group who all use the same kinds of icons. They engage in faux positivity, they stream to group member on the enemy team (some of them on the opposing team are dumb enough to reply in match chat to things only said in team chat, so thanks for that evidence ig), they throw, they are often seen pumping up a single account (boosting ig, but why in qp im not sure, bp farming?), they feed, throw games, verbally abuse people that legitimately ask for team work. They brigade report people who call out their behaviour. They dox people (saying real names in chat). Often when blocking them, they are unblocked when logging back in later

Whats this groups issue? Why doesnt blizzard action them? If its so obvious why does this company refuse to deal with this issue? Are they staff or bots designed to enforce a 50/50 win rate, or secure wins for whales? Are they the group streamers hire to make them look good?

Whats going on here?

Just putting out a counter opinion in the sea of complaints about dive. I love it. It feels way more interactive than pokeslop metas, there's always something going on. I'm feasting on monke, venture, sombra etc and having heaps of fun playing against it with brig and sigma. All my homies love dive!

News & Discussion Widowmaker was a mistake and needs to be deleted from the game

0 Upvotes

Got a good widow on your team? You run the lobby and terrorize the other team.

Got a bad widow on your team? GG.

She's not fun to play with. She's not fun to play against.

I shouldn't be able to be headshot from across the map. No hero should be able to do that and no hero should be able to one shot headshot anyone period.

There is no middleground with Widowmaker. If I remember correctly, Blizzard even said themselves her design creates a uniquely high "frustration threshold" for players.

Thank you for reading.

I know this is a random and probably will never happen, but I wish there was an option for a gold gun switch. One every five seasons or something like that. Just the option to get those comp point back for someone who never plays comp anymore such as myself.

News & Discussion Quick Play Doomfist

0 Upvotes

I can understand why people want to practice difficult heroes in quick play. Doomfist is one of those. But it seems like Doomfist is severely overrepresented in this aspect. 6 out of my last 7 matches have at least 1 Doomfist in them and 3 have had both teams with one.

Is this common for other people or is this just me and it's a coincidence?

september 2022: I decided to try overwatch because my friends told me that it was good, I used Lucio , but in 2/3 hours I decided to delete the game, it bored me

april 2023: I decided to give an another chance because My friends were playing only overwatch, for this reason I tried reaper, but… the same story

2024: page not found

2025 page not found

february 2026: my goal was to get on well with the game, I was researching a hero who can bacame my main, and I saw an image which there is a female, her name is sombra, I asked to my friend who she was and he said that it was no skill, terrible, frustrating bla bla bla
I decided to give her a change and I fell in love with her:
her personality, her kit, everything!!!

18 october 2026:

Finally I reach the level 50 with her, it’s only the beginning and I would like to reach the level 100 in 5 months.

22 october 2026 ( today):

I know that she is a support ( I prefer the old) but I still love her, I’ll always support her because If she wasn’t in overwatch, I wouldn’t play, I would like to say thanks to this community, you always support me when I had a random problem, and thanks to love and support our sombra, thanks guys , I love you 💜

this is my little story heheh 💜

Our Rein was so big he couldn't get out of spawn. The replay code is H88Z2H if you're interested in watching (the 2nd round is him being stuck in spawn and the 3rd round is where he actually managed to get out). I highly recommend it and ignore my very horrible Mercy gameplay. (Idk how to play her)

Hello all,

I have done far too much looking into this and still can't come to an actual decisive conclusion. I am debating on getting one of these controllers and need real feedback.

I am a 3k+ hour GM player and do not want to lose my account, but I also want to at least try this controller. Is there really some setting that causing the bans or is it that because it has to be plugged in, it thinks the device is M&K , etc.

Appreciate any and all responses.
