As someone that does not like Star Wars (but is still a fan of Star Wars), KOTOR 2 was a breath of fresh air because it was written by a guy who, in addition to being a great games writer, also doesn't like Star Wars. KOTOR 2 is essentially a take down of the stupid nature of the Force and it's 'good and bad' thing and it is wonderful. KOTOR 2 is a hell of a game and Kreia is bae.

It's not an amazingly designed game, its competently designed game. Which is something to be expected.

@POOHEAD189

The visual and audio reinforcement and cues alone are above just 'competent' to me. Something as seemingly insignificant as the design on, say, Zenyatta's abilities having the 'plus' and 'minus' on the illustration of his orbs is a sign of great visual design. The way each character has distinct footsteps is great audio design. The way it presents information to the player without cluttering up the screen is great interface design. There are countless little touches that all come together to make everything just work. Overwatch is many things and it's not a game for everyone but it's an amazingly designed game. It's telling that the year of games so far has been defined by great improvements and modernization of older games, like DOOM, Stardew Valley, and, sure, Overwatch.

And I play both battleborn and overwatch. Other than the 5-6 man teams, similar gameplay, 3-4 unique special attacks, similar designs....well...huh, I guess the main difference is that Overwatch uses checkpoints to win games and Battleborn has league of legends minions. And yeah, TF2 is also literally what Overwatch is in so many ways.

Saying Overwatch and Battleborn have similar gameplay is like saying Civilization and Starcraft have similar gameplay because they both fall under the strategy umbrella. Battleborn is a fundamentally different game and is lacking the polish and solid design that Overwatch has. Not to mention the player base. Battleborn is 2016's Evolve. Battleborn is literally a first person MOBA. Overwatch is a first person team based shooter. The similarities of both games having heroes and counters doesn't put them on the same track.

Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying Overwatch. I played some today before work and I'll play some tonight. But it's immensely overrated imo. It's a solid game, not an incredible one.

Well I mean it's the second best game to come out this year but that's just my opinion

To make the case specific and a little more bitchy... No, you panicking idiots. LoL is nowhere near dead. Not because of what Riot's doing, not because of Overwatch, not because of anything. It's still, by far, the largest and most popular game in the world.

God that is depressing.

@POOHEAD189 Battleborn never should have been compared to Overwatch because the two are not really comparable outside of "both have a roster of different colorful characters" and Randy Pitchford is an idiot for wanting to compete. Battleborn is like Borderlands and SMITE while Overwatch is not and has taken influence from old CPFPS games like Quake and UT and its mechanics and interface are way more user friendly for casuals and more competitive oriented people. It's not the deepest game but it succeeds wholeheartedly at what it set out to do and it's Blizzard actually doing something competent with its games which used to be common place. It's just an amazingly well polished and designed game.

and you're deep in the feminist-sphere, coffee and Anita to hear any opinions that you don't agree with.

@Weird Tales

You gotta problem with coffee, mate?

Also why is it that people still just use Anita as the go-to feminist icon like come now pick some fruit from higher on the tree

@POOHEAD189 It costs 40 which seems fair given that it's getting new features and such. Also a large reason why it's such a great game is because of how well designed it is. Like on levels that most people don't think about, like UI, sound, and functionality.

Overwatch: Resurgence

<Snipped quote by Fabricant451>

Link to where you got them?

@Lmpkio

I got them from playing her in game.

Overwatch: Resurgence

<Snipped quote by Fabricant451>

Lol, I'm not sure when she will actually be released, but surely we'll get some more lines later on.

@Lmpkio

From the matches I've played I've heard:

-Reinhardt crushing HARD on her both back in the day and now

-She called McCree 'charming'

-She and Widowmaker are trading insults

-76 is glad that Ana is watching his back again

I've yet to hear her talk to Pharah but it'll happen

Overwatch: Resurgence

@Fabricant451 Well shit I actually didn't think you'd do it lol not as we were in a joking way, but just the lack of detail (oh who am I kidding we got the origin story and move set so).

@Lmpkio

I only didn't fill out the personality because I'm getting that from her in-game lines and so far it is a lot of "old soldier but actually old" and "I'm pretty sure Reinhardt is hitting on me oh my god grandparents is canon"

B!tchfest: a healthy release for our non-roleplay annoyances.

<Snipped quote by Dynamo Frokane>

A whole lot of assumptions you got right there

@Weird Tales

Yeah, assuming they'd play Yu Gi Oh instead of Magic the Gathering is a bold claim

Overwatch: Resurgence

Did you think I was joking about this Ana shit I am all on Team Ana

Ana Amari - WIP

"Everyone must find their cause."

Real Name: Ana Amari

Age: 60

Race: Human

Nationality: Egyptian

Personality:

Physical Appearance:

Affiliations: Overwatch (Founding Member; Former)

Brief History: Ana Amari, born in Cairo, was a founding member of Overwatch before it all went downhill. Ana was regarded as the world's best sniper and, combined with her instincts, marksmanship, and quick-second decision making made her a viable candidate for Overwatch's strike team at the height of the Omnic Crisis. After the Crisis, Ana served as John Morrison's second-in-command and, despite her duties in leading Overwatch, Ana remained an active combatant well into her fifties. Ana's prowess and heroism served as an inspiration to her young daughter, Fareeha Amari, who hoped to follow in Ana's footsteps.

During a rescue mission, Ana was gravely wounded by Talon operative code-named Widowmaker. The once world renowned sniper was believed to have died in the encounter. In truth, Ana survived though at the cost of her right eye. As she recovered, Ana reflected on the life she had been leading, on the combat, on the many lives she had taken, and decided to stay on the sidelines in the ensuing conflicts. Ana Amari had felt the weight of the lives she had taken.

Retirement, it seems, did not agree with Ana who has decided to again take up the rifle and re-join the action. She could not simply sit on the sidelines as threats to innocents continued. Ana has returned to duty to protect her people, the innocent lives, and those most precious to her.

Combat Role: Support

Sub-class: Sniper/Healer/Buffer

Abilities:
Sleep Dart: With a quick shot from her side firearm, Ana can knock a target into a sudden slumber for a good six seconds, enough time to flee the area and resume operations. Disturbances, such as being shot or harmed, wakes the sleeping target up prematurely.

Biotic Grenade: Ana tosses a grenade that both harms enemies and increases the healing on allies. In a pinch, Ana can toss the grenade at her feet to heal herself. Affects a 4 meter area and enemies caught inside of it, in addition to being harmed, cannot be healed for the duration.

Biotic Rifle: A rifle that fires 1.1 rounds per second. Six shots. The rifle shoots darts that, when shot at an ally, heals them instantly and, when shot at an enemy, does damage over time. The rifle comes equipped with a scope for more accurate shots and the damage over time does not stack if fired before the initial DoT wears off.

Passive: N/A

Nano Boost (Ultimate): Ana injects one ally with a combat boost, making them move faster, attack harder, and receive less damage from enemy fire. Lasts eight seconds.

Strengths: Supporting from a distance makes Ana a bit more versatile than others who might require a bit more proximity to the heat of battle. With her long distance rifle, Ana can keep allies in the thick of the fight with a simple pull of the trigger (and the proper accuracy, of course) while also debilitating enemies and making her team more effective at taking them down. In a pinch she can stay alive by putting flankers to sleep and running away to get to a new vantage point.

Weaknesses: Ana lacks the damage of more combat oriented team mates and runs the risk of being outsniped. In a direct sniper duel, Ana is at a disadvantage as her darts are not nearly as effective as actual bullets. More swift opponents can close the gap and render her carefully aimed shots ineffective. Incidentally her own team can cause problems if they decide to poke the sleeping giant - that of course being someone Ana has knocked out. Ana cannot regenerate her own health nor does she have shields or armor, making her lacking in self sufficiency when up close. But a sniper shouldn't be up close anyway...

Overwatch: Resurgence

I WANNA PLAY ANA IN THIS RP IS THAT COOL OH MY GOD I LOVE USING HER
