I really hate Hanzo in the game. His enemies have a larger hitbox than when you play a different character so he hardly ever misses. Hope they will change this.

Took me a little longer to realize 8 + 5 = 313 is wrong.

Nope

Not sure if "nope" means "yes this problem is wrong" or "no, you're wrong". So for clarification:

8 + 5 = 13
8 - 5 = 3
concatenate: 13, 3

The idea that drops were tuned "around" the AH's was just another batshit fan theory. It was perfectly payable it just took time... more time than people were willing to put in. Time and impatience is what prompted people to consider AH purchases as "necessary to progression" which is just completely stupid. So... the real "problem with the AH" was if you used it you basically eliminated any actual reason to play the game and completely threw your loot distribution curve out of whack. It was perfectly playable but people who are impatient ruined their own experience bypassing literally the only reward the game has. Sure, the game needed to distribute set/unique items better, but the AH wasn't causing those problems.

So does this game have any longevity like mod support? I know about the SnapMap stuff, but that doesn't seem very robust.

Games are never made for longevity unless they are open-source .. and then the branches get so distract no community will follow.

What the balls are you talking about? He's referring to games like the Half-Life series and Quake which had active communities for decades because of their mod support.

I was referring to current generation.

Are FPS games now considered MOBA's? I don't understand this.

It's like how Deus Ex is a FPS with RPG elements.

[...]

i hate when people say this... Deus Ex is not an RPG, and there's no such thing as "RPG elements"

you google this and see stupid sites like Giant Bomb actually make it a thing, but it's these silly game reviewers that really coined the term and not real game designers

a Role Playing Game must conform to all of the rules mentioned here:

Edit: with that said, if you like the gameplay and speed of Halo with the unlocks and loadouts of Call of Duty, you'll enjoy this. It's mostly bland though.

This is how "fast" Halo was: https://youtu.be/z1c7eEW8cMQ?t=4m55s

And for contrast, this is Doom: https://youtu.be/anrvBD4aTGY

Am I missing something here? Did I and Nvidia get a special, extra fast version of Doom or something? Because Halo looks completely glacial compared to what I've been playing this evening.

I was wondering that. "Kites"? Is that trying to be racist and failing? I don't even know what to say there.

I'm pretty sure that was just a flippant suggestion for a new hobby and not a scene from Porky's.

Her M2 passes through barriers, which is nice against Reinhardts and Winstons.

whats the point in finding a cheat that is causing misery to all who play properly and then give them a 14day ban, should be permanent!

Also, do you like exploring? So do I! However, you'd better not finish a session exploring, because you lose your loot. You need to finish on a battle. Did you clear the level of all enemies and are now secret hunting? Better not need to quit before you finish, because there's no way to save.

Holy shit that is fucking retarded. What moron at id came up with this horseshit??

I mean, that's kind of the point of the 'e' in Esports no?
To differentiate it from regular "sports" without the 'e'.

A sport requires a modicum of physical effort at the very least. Why not call it what it is? Pro-Gaming. If gaming is a sport than so is watching TV.

I really need to keep an ear out for Widowmaker's ultimate pop, and just hold back until it's finished.

It's apparently intentionally quieter than most of them, and you will not hear it if you are not within a certain range of her.

"The only permitted hacks are those already built in, like seeing through walls."

I had 2-3 distinct moments toward the end of the Beta where I was sure someone was cheating.. only to be shown the replay where I was highlighted in red to everyone on the enemy team.

A hero does not need to be good in every situation.

Except Symmetra is only good in VERY SPECIFIC situations, and again, ONLY with good team support. Her weapon is mostly unusable (M1 range is basically spitting distance, M2 is laughably slow), her shield is pointlessly ineffectual, and her sentries have too long a CD and are too easily killed by random dmg. Meanwhile the teleporter has only six charges (what????), doesn't recharge while deployed, and is fucking ANNOUNCED TO THE ENEMY TEAM (like D.Va's for some inexplicable reason).
