Okay okay. Hold up one second.
Why is black ops 3 there.
>>340123895
How does Blizzard keep getting away with it? Even WoW was in the top 6 today for some reason.
>>340124152
Probably a tournament is going on.
>>340124152
>check on twitch
>it's true
>>340123895
Overwatch is more mainstream than CoD.
Really makes you think...
>viewers
>twitch
At least use something solid, like numbers on players on steamcharts
/v/ SAID IT WOULD BE DEAD IN A WEEK
WHAT HAPPENED???
>>340124152
Black Ops 3 sold a fucking shit ton thanks to PS4 bundles.
>>340125276
Are we seriously using "viewers" instead of actually players to judge an overhyped games popularity now?
>>340123895
COME AT ME BRO
>>340125412
7 MILLION
>>340124152
treyarch's CoDs still sell well
>>340125467
A game being popular doesn't mean it's good.
Just saying.
>tfw 1 viewer today
JUST
>>340125412
People literally think that for some reason.
Casual/multiplayer are the two biggest factors in viewership.
>>340125568
Nice goal posts.
>>340125412
yes, because popularity is measured by how many people are talking about X, not how many people are consuming X
>>340125568
fuck off burch
>>340125569
did he enjoy it?
>>340125412
Fucking agreed. It's obvious that literally nobody is playing the game or has an interest in it. What kind of retard uses "viewers of Overwatch on the most popular game streaming website" as a metric for how popular the game is? Fucking idiots. The most popular games being played are obviously the games with sub-50 viewers.
>>340125759
i dont know he never said anything
>>340125742
>/v/ using horrible food analogies again
>>340125807
video games are not movies and should not be graded as such
>>340124152
Black ops 3 actually isn't that bad. I had alot of fun with it.
>this game is so good
>people are literally watching it as opposed to playing it

>S-SO WHAT?

>S-SO WHAT?
Just kill yourself and end the nightmare for you.
>>340126320
Every time
>>340125962
I said I agreed with you. It's not like Let's Plays, where you watch people play games, are not one of the most watched thing on the internet.
>>340126320

twitch has such shit taste.

Is Hearthstone a Moba or FPS?

yikes
>>340123895
Discuss what?
>>340123895
It's the flavor of the month, it'll probably be pulling a lot less people when people get bored of it and move on to the next game.
>>340126789
True source of quality feedback is random people on a image board
>>340123895
>people defending "press q" to win garbage
>same thread some overkid cry about cod
>>340124152
Fucking amazing
Its like someone who play candy crush say farmville is casual.
>>340125448
>There are more shitposting about Stillborn than actually watching it on Twitch

>S-SO WHAT?
>>340126508
Seems you have trouble reading.
Those all factor into it's popularity, not quality. I like Overwatch, but your post is stupid.
I'd only base decent Steam reviews as a proper source of good reviews. Well the reviews that aren't retarded. They're still better than any gaming journalists' garbage anyway.
>>340126782
I will admit my mistake. I didn't really notice heathstone.
I'm not sure what genre to call it tho
vydia tcg?
never played it
By daily playership Overwatch is nowhere close to CSGO or Hearthstone, let alone League or Dota
>>340126935
>>340126995
source?
Discuss what exactly?
I don't understand the point of this thread.
Is it "haha look how this overhyped trash has more views than this overhyped trash on this trash website"?
If so then who fucking cares?
>>340126508
Oh you dummy, don't u know how /v/ judge a game?
>1 million viewers on twitch?
>Meh
>30 billion sales?
>Meh
>30/10 reviews?
>Meh
>Do i like it?
>No?
>It's the worst game ever!!!
>>340123895
Let see how will it hold on twitch after the hype dies out. OW barely keeping it's ground against 6 y.o. game.
>>340126883
>>340126960
>Those all factor into it's popularity, not quality.
Is it really that hard for you to understand that if millions of people buy a game, then they must think the game is good?
>>340127163
Are you twelve or something?
>>340127227
No, a lot of people like garbage things. Why do you think reality television was so popular?
>>340127030
Just extrapolating. 7 mil have bought overwatch, which is a lot, but that's not daily playership. League for example has 27 mil players daily and idk how many hundred million installs. CSGO has about 1 mil daily players so it's not unreasonable to assume overwatch is lower.
Also, it's weird to see people on /v/ liking overwatch so much considering how casual it is. I'd say it's the most casual top 10 esport rn along with league, with csgo being the least casual
>>340126508
You're just focusing on popularity again.
This is just as retarded as /v/ thinking FUN is objective.
>>340126508
I guess that means cod is good, twilight is high literature, capeshit is the height of cinema, and... I don't get music so I don't know what to say about that one. Still you get the point.
popularity is not quality, and no other fucking entertainment media considers it as such.
>popular game = good game
/v/'s stupidity never ceases to amaze every summer
>>340127546
popularity is based on how easy a game is to enter and how cinematic it makes the players feel
i.e brawl was more popular than melee, why cod is more popular than csgo, etc.
>>340127546
>>340127443
>>340127227
>Millions of people like it, but I don't SO ITS BAD!!
>>340127361
>it's weird to see people on /v/ liking overwatch so much considering how casual it is
people here are casual as fuck, it's just that the elitist fags scream louder.
/v/ has the either the 1st or 2nd biggest traffic of people on 4chan, it's the plebest board, most of the people here are statistically bound to be reddit-posting teenage scrubs
>>340127756
don't take it personally
you can't say it isn't a casual game
no competitive game has 20 tick rate and meme classes like overwatch
its in the same tier as league, and i'd wager that more people migrated from league to it than from tf2
>>340127756
I guess paul blart mall cop must be fucking great. I mean, it did make millions. And everything by adam sandler is 10/10, look at how much money he makes.
>>340127928
what's wrong with paul blart, you fucking tool?
I haven't been following Overwatch at all. Never played TF2 anyways. Why is Overwatch bad?
>>340127992
nothing. I was succesful enough to get sequels, so surely it's good.
>>340127861
yeah thats sad
/vg/ is even more cancer, the most popular generals are always league and hearthstone and shit
and the smash general is always smash 4
reddit has us beat nowadays cuz at least they still have specific subreddits that aren't casualized
>>340127756
Oh fuck you're right. Justin Beiber was a talented musician this whole time, and the Twilight and Fast and Furious movies put Scrosese to shame.
>Literally not even a single good LoL streamer on
>Still more viewers than overmeme
