Where were you when LoL fell?
Overwatch is a fine game, but nothing to shit your pants over. console kiddies who never played an fps before think it's some deep shit.

Like all popular online games, its sticking value is determined largely by its meme-potential. This game is a 9.5/10 in that regard
>>343054223
And how long before that did Starcraft hold the title? Who gives a fuck. Shit Korea have always been Blizzard fanboys and would swallow anything Blizzard shat out.
>>343054446
What's wrong with Halo?

Yes, and Valve wants people to come back with their summer sale
>>343054307
Who plays on console? kek. fuck off.
>>343055020
That's very appropriate language talking about the greatest real-time strategy game of all time you fucking casual piece of shit.

40 to 50 million people.
And that's just this gen.
Why do gooks still play in net cafes?

>>343055162
It's more that Riot has finally caved in and made more sexy and more revealing pool party skins, where the only female character to have a skin was Leona, and even then, didn't have her in a revealing top.
>>343055152
Actually they do.
Way more people than PC degenerates most definitely.
>>343055246
This game. Who plays Overwatch on console.
Consoles is all CoD, Fifa,UFC and some AAA releases.

It's a gook thing. It's literally part of their culture.
>>343055267
Because PC prices in Korea are ridiculously high and it's highly unfeasable for the vast majority of the population to buy themselves home PCs. Or consoles.
And compared to the west, PC cafes in South Korea are unbelievably cheap.
>>343054307
>Console kiddies
>In South Korea
?
>>343054223
But will Blizzard be able to make an e-sport out of it? The game has some major flaws right now that makes it almost impossible for people to play it at a professional/high skill level.
>>343055307
Almost every multiplatform game has more players on consoles than on PC.
And Overwatch is a AAA multiplayer shooter. Why wouldn't it be played on consoles?
>South Korea continues to have shit taste
>>343054223
I give it six months.

PROTIP: so does every other video game on the planet.
Doesn't stop them. Because outside of autistic scenes like MOBAs, that's not what matters.

Well I mean LoL has a high skill ceiling and so does dota. It's what draws so many players and fans. You can have professional teams that have sponsors because LoL and Dota are very finely tuned to be competitive at a professional level. Overwatch has some serious issues right now. If they are not sorted out the players in Korea will just jump back to LoL.

You don't belong here.
>>343055204
It's the one that the dog eaters latched on to, you mean. Let me guess you think HL2 is the best FPS ever made as well?
>>343055560
It somehow has become trendy but it also retains a subtle fierceness from classic punk or native indian haircuts so it's perfect in the minds of developers.
>>343055725
It's played professionally. How can it not have a high skill ceiling?
>>343055831
Halo and gears of war are played professionally.
You argument is void.
>>343055725
fuck off kid
you're obviously too retarded to know the mental discipline require when playing dota 2 but i can understand that since your brain is still in the primitive stage
>>343055831
they're played professionally because retards put a lot of money in the game.
if you put a lot of money in tournament people will play it

Did you also create a thread when LoL got the top ranking after beating whatever game?
Whats the point of this now, faggot?
>>343055598
Gook interest is based pretty much directly on competitive potential.
When everyone realize that all competitive matches are going to be the same teams over and over again and it's going to be stale boring shit, the interest will disappear.
Actually, pretty much exactly like TF2.
>>343056030
you didn't prove me wrong.
people play it because it has money, you never heard anyone say they play it for the high skill ceiling
>shit game replaced by shit game
Wow its fucking nothing
Fuck that pointless country. When are the Norks gonna get their shit together and blow SK to smithereens. Fucking soulless pieces of crap
>>343056162
>you didn't prove me wrong
What's to prove? Both games are shit. Blizzard has Riot beat in the money war. Their going to promote the shit out of Overwatch and start their "high skill" tournaments.
Not really

>Maplestory
>Dungeon and Fighter
>FIFA Online 3
>Minecraft
>Sudden Attack
>White Millennium Fox or some shit idk my korean is garbage, it's a grindfest game in the end anyways
>Lineage

Besides, why do people care about what this country's taste in games are. More than half of the shit I listed are pay2win garbage from Nexon or a different shitty company. Play actual good games like Shrek 2 for the Gamecube.
>>343056743
But that's wrong.
>>343056347
FPS games have a high skill ceiling, no matter how much you want to scream that they don't.
>>343057346
Is aiming at someone and not missing considered "high skill ceiling" now?
Overwatch has the same approach to balance as TF2. They made every class easy and just hope it all balances out if everyone is over powered.

I play on consoles, only solo queue, and have 73% of the achievements. Not everyone is a mouth breathing retard on console.
>>343057686
I think you might be retarded.
Arcade-style FPS games have far more going on that just aiming, to say otherwise shows blatant, and willful, ignorance.
>>343054223
Exactly how important are bangs in 2016?
I haven't paid attention to the whole SK gaming world since SC2 came out and was disappointing.
It's 2016.. are they really still a defining metric of what people play? Or have most people outgrown it and moved on to mobile gaming/tablets or just own their own computer and don't need to go to a bang to play brood war.
>>343054223
when i walk past the PC방 here, it's the only game everyone is playing.
>>343054223
Is Blizzard like one of the few places actually allowed to sell video games in South Korea or something
>>343054390
NO SONA NO BUY
>>343054307
You are implying that most people play this game on console.
>>343054223
Nice bait OP, but it was Battleborn who took the first place in South Korea.

Google Search returns two movies with the same Korean name but different English names (one is a remake of the other).
