It always gets me when people talk about the writing for this shit game, because somehow it still manages to be an improvement over Overwatch. As in, things were actually written. They say actual lines, rather than bland, milquetoast pleasantries. Overwatch is such a toothless game that you literally have characters asking for eachothers autographs as the height of character interaction.

Do they even have an art director? Every character in this game seems ridiculously mismatched. It feels like they asked everyone in the team to design a character each one. There are like 3 characters that don't look like shit but the whole cast doesn't even have a common theme.

There is nothing consistent about the design of that characters.
It's all over the fucking place, one thing clashes with another and it's just overall very ugly.
This is (and I'm actually using this term seriously) literally like an original character from deviantart, there is no aim, just throw a bunch of shit onto a blank slate and bam, """design""".

I wouldn't call Blizzard a bunch of geniuses but they are still pretty smart. They managed to make a game with good looking women while also appeasing the media babies. They even made a cool looking old woman while slapping a waifu skin on her.

That's what gets me, honestly. I don't normally pass up a game for minor character design issues but this shit makes Ren and Stimpy look modest. In game that's not really that cartoony beyond that. Like, come the fuck on, I even played Smite for about a month and they have some bad character design choices, this shit makes me not want to play the game at all.

Seriously though, who the fuck okayed these character designs?
Who thought these were okay?

I mean Borderlands character design wasnt stellar but at least it was passable, with some good shit here and there. I thought handsome jack and that one playable psycho was pretty good.

but fuck did they just shit the bed with this cast. It looks like they just took the league of legends cast and put them in front of a fun house mirror.

They are so unappealing its painful. They didnt just fuck up one or two characters, they fucked up 25. How the fuck do you not make one appealing character out of 25?
That is the whole point of games with big rosters, you make a character for everyone. Doesnt matter who comes a long, there should be someone who looks fun to play.

I didnt particularly care for overwatch's characters, but fell in love with roadhog and junkrat, then tried out some of the others and liked them.

This game though. These characters look like they are in physical pain from their existence.

Face it, if you want a character design to be good, they have to be appealing or at least charming in some way. If you make 'em a hideous cave troll, it's a lot harder to make people sympathize with them at all.

Well of course, that's called having charm.

>Battleborn vs Overwatch

It's a direct example of beauty in simplicity. Battleborn as a game, and it's character designs, tries to dance with too many elements at once. That's what makes the Battleborn designs feel so poorly thought out and cluttered while Overwatch feels more thoughtful and sleek despite the characters having similar amounts of 'drawn' detail. Same goes for the gameplay of both.

Overwatch takes basic concepts and evolves them. Battleborn tries to stick as many 'cool' elements as possible on everything and only achieves a cluttered mess.

The Chinese have a saying, "Adding legs to a snake", which originates from a story where an artist in a drawing competition to draw a snake finishes ahead of his rivals, and feeling superior, adds legs to his drawing, and promptly loses like the dumbass he is

I like that saying. It's "less is more" without sounding vague and cryptic as fuck to someone who's never heard the phrase before.
>>
>>345347938

That's not the point anon. We're miffed because they absolutely HAVE to show how progressive they are by shoving lesbian or gay characters in our faces.

Does their homosexuality matter in the context of the story? Why should it, we're inclusive! Does their homosexuality define them as characters? Yes of course it does, because we literally only included them for the sake of checking off a box on our quota!
>>
>>345349935
It's sad how real it is, too. There's so many potentially hugely talented artists that exist in the world hampered only by their inability to say it's time to stop. They reach a point a work looks wonderful, but they 'feel' like they could add more. Then promptly ruin it by doing so.

I never said anything about the porn. If people want to make porn that's totally up to them. Why do you keep bringing that up? Are you 16?

The reason people are upset about the gay characters in stillborn is because they have no other character traits other than being gay. If you have a character that's sole purpose is to show how progressive and inclusive you are then the character isn't actually doing anything to help you cause. Overwatch characters show no signs of wanting to bang each other because it's not necessary to delve into that. All the shipping is the products of horny adults wanting to see the characters bang. Stillborn has characters loudly declare their homosexuality and expecting you to think that makes them great characters just because

It's nothing to do with homophobia. It's that they purposely just make characters with NO character traits beyond I'M SO GAY GUYS LOOK HOW PROGRESSIVE I AM just to fill quotas and seem progressive. There are good characters in fiction who are gay. None of the Gearbox characters are good because they bring nothing else to the table besides stereotypes.

You can't just make gay stereotype characters and ultra butch lesbians and then claim it's progressive or whatever. You want a progressive character? Than make one who just happens to be gay but is otherwise a normal human being. Straight characters don't have a line every five minutes saying they're straight, or dress weird just to make that fact stand out.

Do they though, or that just hearsay that you're presenting as fact because somebody else on /v/ told you that? If nobody is playing the game then how do you guys know about the content so intimately?
I played the Beta and saw nothing of the sort.

>You can't just make gay stereotype characters and ultra butch lesbians and then claim it's progressive or whatever.

I'm sorry is the giant, butch pink-haired body builder woman in Overwatch not progressive for some reason?

This is what I'm talking about, you guys don't really care about the representation of gays in videogames, or "SJWs", you're applying your standards and criticisms selectively to target companies you don't like, don't pretend you have any principles whatsoever.
If Zarya was in Battleborn you'd have a field day, but because she's in a popular game from a company you like, suddenly all of the telltale traits you'd decry as "pandering to progressives" in literally any other game are perfectly acceptable.

A woman dresses in masculine clothes with short hair in Battleborn and it's an outage that they're pandering to SJWs and stereotyping gays, but a 6 foot female body builder with pink hair in Overwatch...? Tumbleweeds...

Every character in BB is ruined by terrible designs AND absolutely terrible writing.

Oh that game made by Gearbox has a woman with short hair though, boo, SJW, pandering, #GG, it's very important to me that fags are properly represented in videogames guys I care so much.

I wouldn't care if you just said the game was crap and you think the character designs are shit, which it is, and they are, but you try to morally justify it and virtue signal then just end up looking like a massive hypocrite.

Admit that you don't give a shit about gays being stereotyped in videogames and that you just want ammo for your Gearbox hate train.

Oh are you pretending this casual cancer isn't sweeping the board? I can't go one refresh without seeing at least three webms of Tracer's yellow ass gyrating in my face. I know all the names of the fucking characters and I don't even want to play it.

You're deluded if you thought the old Trundle was any better or if any League lore, especially back then, was any good. The world was literally just a random hodge-podge stew of random characters thrown in with little regard for any structure to the world; basically like most of these "hero-based" games

Why are there always threads about this game? It came out. It failed. Why do you guys keep talking about it? Just let it die you fucking autists.

overwatch doesn't do anything to most of it's characters to make them interesting
it takes single concepts and stops there

compare to actual original designs, such as those in games like TF2, Battleborn . . . . you know.
