OW2 Patch First Thoughts:

I like these changes.

I think needing more shots to kill makes fights much more interactive. More shots to kill also emphasizes movement and teamplay. You can dodge the follow up after tanking a spam headshot, or save your teammate who was caught unaware.

The obviously most controversial changes are the hitbox changes. Generally, I think people complaining about how this ‘kills skill expression’ are stupid.

OW has near instant movement acceleration that allows players with great movement mechanics to evade a large fraction of incoming damage. Almost every hero in the game has some kind of unique movement ability. Many heroes can offensively disrupt your aim with boops or force you to change targets rapidly with defensive skills.

Shooting at bots standing still to show how the hitbox is ‘so enormous’ and how aiming is ‘so easy now’ is actually offensively stupid. It’s not remotely realistic to how aiming actually feels in a real game when the enemies shoot back (and boop you, and get speed amped, and blink behind you, etc. etc.)

In short, aiming in OW is plenty difficult. There is a lot of room to make it easier without ‘removing’ the skill expression inherent to aiming in Overwatch.

Overall I think these changes reward highly skilled and consistent aimers because more shots to kill generally favors a stronger player. One lucky shot is not enough, you have to be consistent and keep landing shots on a player who will dodge and fight back.

Beyond this, though, the game is MORE FUN. I’ve played long time-to-kill FPS games for over a decade now for one simple reason: I love popping off and chaining insane shots one after another. Now Overwatch is making those shots more consistent while also making that kind of back to back combination more crucial to my success in the game.

TL;DR: Hitmarkers give me
dopamine and now I get MORE dopamine yay

@Raelyni Complaining about Kiri while taking a 2v1 and having heal pad save you twice is truly a take.

[Gol2m @TubeGolem]

Hot-ish take about multiplayer fps games. Using sustain to mitigate low TTK will always feel bad, as will having a dedicated healing role.

Both promote bad play and remove player understanding of mistakes vs correct plays.

This take wasn't hot enough apparently let me add some capsaicin.

This is also true for youth who default to insulting the age of adults they see feeding their inner child (by cosplaying, participating in fandom or niche fashion or other expressive hobbies).

[DEOPHEST ✂️✨ @ImDeophest]

Adults who are mad that you are still feeding your inner child, keeping your hobbies or trying new ones are usually jealous or bitter because they sacrificed their own joy and feel cheated upon finding out that it wasn't a required part of "growing up"

My browser crashed at the beginning of the @Bungie networking meeting, and I couldn't get back in. It sucked, but I used the time to do some #marathon #pixelart

@devolverdigital @OnlyByMidnight @bysameng @WhaleFoodGames @WirescribeGames @Silcris88 had a great talk about community building in gaming! Building great and welcoming communities in games is one of the most important things we can do to increase diversity in games.

[Gol2m @TubeGolem]

Had a great time at #GDX2023 from @IAAlberta.

Learned a lot and met a lot of really cool people. I'll put some highlights in this thread.

[Gol2m @TubeGolem]

@devolverdigital @OnlyByMidnight Hearing from everyone from Gumbo in NYC was awesome! Hopefully we can build something like that here! @bysameng @WhaleFoodGames @WirescribeGames

[Gol2m @TubeGolem]

@gamemakerstk has made a really great community, and if you're thinking about joining next year's game jam DO IT!

[Gol2m @TubeGolem]

Over the weekend, I participated in the #gmtkjam2023 for the first time. I ended up finding a great team that worked really well together, and here's what we made!

@_onmyoji_ @Aphroditties990 With ping, the damage one would chase them until it attached, which was way worse.
