tfw Apex was appreciated for the revive mechanic, Fortnite copied it a week later and apex started dying soon after

Actually if I remember correctly they made Apex Legends under EAs noses because they knew EA would fuck the game

TFW Lawbreakers had a cool zero gravity mechanic, Overwatch copied it, nobody heard about Lawbreakers

To be fair, the Lawbreakers devs also seemed to spend more time on making gender neutral bathrooms than fixing the game, sooooooo

They most likely made Apex on their own after EA told them to make it

the marketing they had behind it is definitely their own idea, as EA most likely called the idea batshit crazy (which it was), even if it gave them some success on launch

Titanfall 3 delayed forever though

but a battle royale where they toss out all the lore and story they've built up so far in their universe, in order to fit forced gay/nonbinary characters into a gamemode that most people don't enjoy isn't what a 'veteran cod dev' would want, from what I'd imagine

Yep

Because fuck the loyal playerbase they built up with the actually good game they made

Sounds like a definition of a battle royale

Shit, just an arena multiplayer in general

Overbutt got hype because they said they might put more story in the game than some voicelines during an event

So innovative

Yep

ayy

They caught the insecure closet people with Lesbian Tracer

so people could 'relate' to these mass murderers and see their own reflection in the manslaughter they were virtually committing

I'm not entirely sure if the lack of story is a multiplayer thing or a blizzard thing

A blizzard thing most likely

They have a habit of not actually putting story in their games since at least cataclysm

can't fit quest descriptions into a multiplayer game, so no chance to write out the story they promised

probably a lack of good writers

a lack of good*

Like, remember that major character development moment Sylvanas had when she killed herself after Lich King was defeated and found out that there's nothing after death for the undead but cold darkness and then she got rezzed by the valkyries and how it completely changed her personality?

No?

Guess you haven't read the forum post then.

Tracer isn’t gay in China so it doesn’t matter

their flashy cinematic animations also caught a handful

Because it sure as fuck wasn't in the actual game

because fuck quality gameplay when you can have a japanese bowguy scream incomprehensible gibberish at another japanese swordguy screaming incomprehensible gibberish in full HD

You need a mobile phone guys

Don't forget the deep story they have together!

Story is an afterthought for this type of games. How they manage to get people invested in it, I'd like to know.

Twice the quality of blizzards own production

I liked Zenyatta when I used to play

Zen is fairly fun when his projectiles hit

I mostly played Ana throughout my time
