Tempest Rising is out for the deluxe edition owners, ~40 GB download, early impressions are excellent:



RTS bros, we might actually be back, after nearly offing ourselves with Stormgate

...Perhaps the problem isn't that RTS games are no longer popular, but that current Blizzard devs just don't know how to make them anymore, let alone games in general?

I'll pick this up at a later point, I still want a Starcraft or Warcraft-esque RTS that isn't gay. I didn't grow up much with C&C outside of the first two Tiberium games and Generals (which is already an amalgamation of C&C and Starcraft), so I don't have the same sort of fondness most others do. Thanks a fuck ton for nothing. Blizzard and ex-Blizzard/PiRAT Software-like devs.

the people want a new StarCraft and WarCraft, but it may take a new development startup to actually create successors! many have tried, and almost all have failed, due to not understanding the market demands or otherwise not knowing how to properly make it

good fantasy strategy games, if made correctly, are eternal - I would bring up WarCraft III as an example, but Reforged erased the original game, and the mods that were made for it. I doubt Blizzard will ever be able to fully recover from that blow, no matter how many times they remake their old games!

Glad to hear, I was skeptical this game was gonna take off based on my impressions from the demos, which I didn't find too impressive. That being said, I'm still going to wait for more objective reviews to come in and a sale.

Since we're on the topic of RTSs, I wanna highlight the RTSs I've got on my eye on so far:

That's probably a good idea! At the very least, it seems to be better than Stormgate, but the bar is in Hell, RTS fans are starved for (good) content!

I agree with @CalciumAnimal and the Berzerk collab actually makes sense, but Gundam Wing in 2025? Really? I guess Bandai thought they could make some money.

Overwatch has been going crazy with anime collabs to try to retain relevance. Executives are Blizzard are clearly furious that Marvel Rivals completely swept up their audience and now they're firing on all cylinders to get development going on the Overwatch team. The new season (Season 16) coming out on April 22nd has:
-New skins for the attractive woman heroes: Juno, Ashe, and Mercy
-New attractive redheaded white woman hero: Freja
-Dokiwatch skins (cute magical girl skins)
-White man skin for Genji that looks like a fairy tale prince
-Several skins for Lifeweaver, the fag character for fags
-Overwatch Classic using the October 2020 balance patch
-changes to Competitive mode
-new Stadium game mode, separate from Competitive

Marvel Rivals really made them panic. They're doing the exact same strat they did to salvage WoW where they spun up numerous game modes to maintain an audience. Modern WoW was dogshit and a lot of people were never going to touch it again, so they spun up WoW Classic. Then they spun up WoW Season of Mastery (now Season of Discovery) to really shake up gameplay and keep people subbed. OW Classic apparently did well but not enough to really reinvorgarated the game's populations so now they're adding Stadium while bringing OW Classic back. So now it's going to be:

The funniest part is that they're blatantly copying a direct competitor again. Season of Discovery copied A LOT of stuff from the Ascension WoW where you could heavily customize your abilities with runes. Now they're applying that to Overwatch while copying Marvel Rivals's 3rd person view.

Holy shit that one character from the porn animations is getting her 957th outfit, shame that none of them are even close to the witch one from 9 years ago.

--map voting​

--finally hero bans after 15 fucking seasons​

-new Stadium game mode, separate from Competitive

--you can make super customizable builds so casuals find it more entertaining and have a chance at ranking with some random build no one is prepared for​

--hero pool of only 17 heroes so casuals and newcomers don't get too confused and so they don't have to deal with the dogshit designs like Lifeweaver or ugly abominations like Hazard and Venture. There also won't be characters that make people rage like Widowmaker, Hanzo, Bastion, Torbjorn, or Doomfist​

--in addition to Overwatch's 1st person mode, you can now swap to a 3rd person mode like Marvel Rivals​

How many big titty blonde women can the Rivals team add so they can keep blizzard down in the trash where they belong

Blizzard got lucky that FFXIV fumbled its recent expac

7.2 is really good and packed with upcoming content, so all of the cockroaches will enter the "We're so back" phase anyways

I hope one of the costumes for her is her 80s costume with the rollerskates and mirror ball earrings.

I refuse to believe that it's not the first costume she get's or Second (90's dazzler) as long as they give her big hair.

I hate this era of media collaboration, as it removes the identity of a creation, making everything interchangeable.

It used to be rare, and even rarer was it well received. Most the time it was mocked, and people preferred to forget about when something like a TV show they watched did crossovers.

It is now common for not merely crossovers, but full-on multiple collaborations, making tone, setting, and lore meaningless. I do not understand why this is the case. The most logical explanation I can think of is that sometime around 2010 most of humanity was replaced with another species.

There's actually a lot of women on the docket. The datamined women were:
-Rogue (big titty brunette with a canonically fat ass)
-Jean Grey (big titty redhead)
-Jubilee (big titty Hong Kong chink)
-Captain Marvel (big titty blonde woman)
-Angela (big titty redhead with fantasy RPG bikini armor)
-Jia Jing/Sprite (big titty blue fairy chink)
-Locus (probably the big titty negress version)
-Crystal (another big titty redhead)

Ultron comes out mid-season (so like a month). Blade is on the docket but there's a bunch more datamined like Deadpool, Cyclops, Colossus, Professor X, Gambit, Nightcrawler, MODOK, and Green Goblin. They stated that once Season 3 starts, they will move to 1 hero per month, so we could likely see 1 hot female character every few months to overshadow Blizzard whenever they try to announce something for their new Overwatch season.

Imagine Overwatch trying to climb out of their trash can and Rivals releases Rogue with a fat ass, Green Goblin, and Deadpool all in the same season. Next season Overwatch thinks its safe to try again but then Rivals releases Cyclops, Nightcrawler, and Angela with voluptuous proportions and bikini armor. That's not even considering all the other hot characters they could release that weren't datamined like She-Hulk, Spider-Woman, Domino, Mystique, or Black Cat. Blizzard better just shelf whatever plans they have for the summer because Rivals will likely print money with swimsuit costumes.

They can just take the Storm, Wolverine, and Psylocke designs and print billions. We could unironically get Colossus with that swimsuit costume and tons of people will buy it just because it would be super troll.

Imagine getting killed by Colossus and he does a Russian dance in his swimsuit. They've already added a twerking emote to Venom, we haven't even hit peak silliness yet.
