It takes a gazillion years to finish a modern game. If you start a production just to copy a current trend that shit is gonna be stale and mummified by the time the game is on beta. Everyone involved must be fucking retarded or something
 
Are there any good alternatives to Total War out there? I just want a decent historical strategy game in the style of the old ones.
 
ngl the anti gravity parts remind me of this xbox indie game on 360 I used to play

Still... Th anti grav wouldn't be enough of a draw to play this piece of shit.
 
I wish I could be a fly on the wall during the executives meeting. They had to have been pissed if shit was this bad to the point where they canceled this late in the game.

Yeah, I'm hoping someone does a proper inside scoop on this thing because there is no way to have a disaster of this caliber without some really juicy drama attached to it.
 
Astronog
Worthless asshole cosplay astronaut assigns herself a "commander" of a dead world.

Is promptly ignored by the murder hoboes, who find her to be a condescending cunt.

They're pit fighters for cash, and she's still pretending to be an astronaut and saluting WRONG.

Fuck, I even knew it was rage bait and bit.

Musclewomen
Musclewomen grow pseudobenis from the steroids. They stop being women and start being whatever the fuck Cris Cyborg became.

Scream in a bathtub full of ice, Cyborg. Not prepping for a fight, just, in general. Freakshow.

Trevor
People didn't like playing as Trevor because he is BALDING and control is taken away when he does the drugs.

Troon Korea
D.va being post-op - Didn't Kamiya imply heather mason from SH3 was amab on twitter?
 
These niggers deserve to go bankrupt for raping Johann Strauss's music in their shitty drag queen trailer.

-Seid ihr seriös?
 
I honestly didn't know about this game until just now when now I know it's cancelled. The trailer looks awful. If you look carefully, you even see that nobody landed a single shot in that entire video. Not even joking, every single one is a miss.

I'm not going to comment on character backstories, the lootbox garbage, and the fact this comes off the heels of the devs abandoning their other projects because that really doesn't affect the gameplay. I obviously didn't play the beta, but from gameplay footage I can confidently say:

- The character silhouettes are complete trash and readability is awful. Everyone and everything from the environment, to enemies, to other players are fighting for visual attention. This is Bad Game Design®.
- Zero G is not a fun mechanic. It's only fun in games where you can break maps using it as a one-off goofball mode people can ignore. Nobody likes looking up in a first person shooter, and the pacing of your game takes a massive dump because the movement is now floaty and you have no tactical benefit to being a slow, floating target with no cover. This is also Bad Game Design®.
- Zero G being bad compounds with the readability being bad because now you both don't know what you're looking at and don't know where anything is. This makes it Fractal Bad Game Design®.
- Every character is some skinnyfat shlub in neon fetish gear, the only difference is their head. There was nothing distinct about the characters besides "woman," "guy in mask," and "other woman."
- Because every character is some skinnyfat shlub in neon fetish gear, there's no way to tell what a character is capable of by looking at them. That would be okay in something like an arena shooter where players can be using anything and thus the weapons should have the most visually demanding designs, but this is a hero shooter, which means your abilities are tied to your character. Even Overwatch, which was a visual nightmare with characters having no unified design, at least made the tanky characters big or the healer characters scrawny.
- The guns are boring. I know you have to have gun archetypes in your fancy shooter, but maybe have something with an identity that matches the futuristic theme beyond "a bullpup with an L.E.D. light on it?"
- The objective of the game appears to be akin to capture the flag, which is generally a bad game mode because it rewards defensive play more than anything. A.K.A. the most boring playstyle. If you have no reason to move from their base because the objective is there and the other team has no reason to hold an area when the objective is behind enemy lines, you will either create an eternal stalemate if it's defense-favored or an unbalanced slaughter if it's offense-favored.
- There are grenades, movement-hindering mechanics, and bullet-blocking mechanics. Grenades can be fine if handled well, and it seems like they are because they're big and noisy in the trailer. But nobody, absolutely nobody likes having their movement slowed or their guns not work. When you remove control from the player, they see it as the game punishing them. When it's a major and integral gameplay mechanic, the players learn to hate the game. Overwatch had a character that blocked bullets and guess what? Everyone had to have him on the team, yet nobody liked playing as, with, or against him.

In short, if I saw this trailer before it got cancelled, I would actively want it to be cancelled. I can look past it trying to ape the hero shooter genre yet again. This game is bad in every possible aspect.

The Alien claims to be female yet penetrates its hosts with force to reproduce. So yes.

Well akshually

There's nothing inherently non-female in nature about penetration with force to reproduce, provided you are using an ovipositor. Some insects and even fish will penetrate a host animal and lay fertilized eggs in there. Nature is horrifying.

But now I am trying to figure out if the facehuggers would be classified as male or female (or as male or female gametes themselves). You could argue that they are motile gametes, because they run around? But they come from eggs, so are they more like part of an egg?

TL;DR even aliens have much more of a claim on being female than trannies do

i saved this picture a few months ago not knowing from what game it was purely to use it as reference for how you can tell how much of an AIDS fest a game is going to be based on character design, the only thing missing is a healthy smattering of vitiligo.
 
Can the hero shooter trend die already? I hope that this is the last retarded, aborted baby of the hero shooter horse that has been beaten to death over and over again.

The only big game studio that I pay attention to now is FromSoftware. Because at least with them I am guaranteed quality for what I pay for. Otherwise I get dead trends, bad consumer practices and globo homo politics on my vidya games from other big game studios or publishers.
 
Sega still aimlessly flailing around and pissing away vast sums of money. They have literally learned nothing in 30 years.

We could have had a new Shining Force game instead of this worthless pig slop, and I don't mean one of those gay anime action RPGs they have been churning out and slapping a "Shining" label on.
