TBF the “copying Overwatch” part does hold merit. The development did say they started developing the game around when Overwatch game out and was THE game everyone was talking about, so they wanted to try and cash in on it

Overwatch became memorable because, no matter how far other parts of Blizzard go to shit, the art team always carries it.
There’s something just, pleasant, about Blizzard’s maximalist, cartoony, bright art style.

The game’s “Overwatch/GotG at Home” criticism is really apt. Between the artstyle and the game’s genre being a hero shooter, really just makes it feel more like a corporate product made by a boardroom than anything

It’s such a visual clash too. The designes they went with just absolutely do not fit the art style.
If you’re going to go for designs like that, you have to go cartoony or it just looks goofy.

Time to get spooky
Concord’s character designs just felt like they desperately wanted to copy Overwatch, but didn’t understand what made their designs so memorable in the first place. That game had a huge amount of diverse and easily recognizable body-types, and the designs themselves felt tailor-made to a character’s personality AND role. You could tell who Zarya was, or what Widowmaker’s personality was just by looking at them.By contrast, Concord has some of the blandest looking characters I’ve ever seen in a video game. There’s no style to any of them, and they look like they could’ve just come from any other modern AAA game.It also doesn’t help that they also had to be as hyper realistic as possible to satiate Jim Ryan’s hate-boner against anything that looks even remotely cartoonish.
I feel like this is why Concord is the perfect example of what’s wrong with the industry: It wants money and nothing more. These corporations chase threads 95% of the time, and fails 99% of the time. They don’t want to make good or fun games, just holes that people will throw their money into. And when something great does come along like Baldur’s Gate 3, they go “we can’t do that, we’re just small AAA corporations who don’t have the resources of an indie studio.” They make excuses because the executive heads know if they tried being creative and make what they like, than it will show just how uncreative and soulless they truly are.

I hate microtransaction games so no.
So do I, yet I’ve played TS4, TF2, CS:GO, and DST. That said, Raid Shadow Legends is on my “Never” list.

Wonder what he thinks of Twilight Princess? Or BotW? Or my WIP original IP?

Honestly, games that are more caricatured, or cartoonish aged better then hyper realistic graphics games. I’ll take expressionism over uncanny valley realism any day.

I mean heck, even old pixel games are considered an art style now, and you see merchandice, and cool paintings of classic chsracter sprites.
Zelda’s always been a mix of realism, cartoony, and caricatured styles mixed together, and it works well.
I like how occasionally it goes cartoony like with Windwaker, Link Between Worlds, Link’s Awakening HD, and such.

I think the “Wario Ware” series is the “Gumball” of video games.

Nice. The first game was pretty much perfect, so a sequel would have some pretty big shoes to fill.

The original Doom has gotten an official expansion pack release with the episode Legacy of Rust. An episode that includes for the first time since Doom 2 new weapons, enemies and mechanics no less.
Doom really is eternal.

DK’s Cool Cousin and Peach’s Gal Pal are somehow the top tiers in Wii:
Also if Resident Evil had the same writers as the TLOU:
