So, I made it to Alpha Labs 3.

2 notes.

First, thank Christ for Duct Tape because I'd probably have lost damn patience by now.
Second, fuck the spiderlings. Fuck them with an unparalleled ferocity.

I did not, for I own a special edition from way back when. I had it before I had LIVE, even.

I remember playing it connected to LIVE for the first time, and it downloaded a patch that added like a billion extra levels beyond the cap for each of the three "tactic trees", let's call them. Because there was nothing left to unlock, each level just gave an XP bonus.

Instantly went to rank a billion Elite. Good times.

EW isn't an expansion. It's a major game system overhaul.

It's technically separate on PC. For sake of convenience, it's considered "DLC" to EU, rather than a separate entry.

Reaper looks like he was designed by a committee to specifically appeal to edgelords.

I see you watched Yahtzee's video. Or not... I just like Yahtzee, and he made that kind of joke in his review.

Reaper looks like a 90s comic book anti hero they forgot about, so they've been looking for a place to fit in the design.

Yes, that what expansions tend to be categorized as.

By that logic, Lord of Destruction is DLC for Diablo II.

I really just don't like Overwatch's art direction. I've never enjoyed seeing anything that is just a mess of colors without a theme between entities. I understand Blizzard likes to give their characters "personality," but all I see in Winston is a space gorilla. All I see in reaper is this over-the-top character that is so out of place with all of the others.


To be completely honest I kind of hate Blizzard. Their graphic design is just difficult to look at and almost disgusting from an artistic perspective, their gameplay is average or the same as other games at their best, they turned WoW into a grindfest, they lock as much content as they can behind a paywall without upsetting the fanboys. They absolutely, entirely ignore their community, with problems that WoW has had for almost a decade only being addressed now.


Their answer to people's complaints about how bad control and tempo shaman are in hearthstone was to buff aggro shaman, which was already strong.

I'm convinced the only people working for Blizzard are the executives, a 1st grade class with crayons and a few learning disabled kids as the software engineers.

To each their own. I honestly don't like TF2's art direction. It just seems too dusty and subdued. I actually like Overwatch's. I enjoy bright, colorful, whimsy art directions, al la Mirror's Edge.
