Why is half the cast in Over watch wearing plug suits?

>>14287129

Shut up and fap

>half
So there's only two characters in the whole cast?

I would, but I can't fap to someone who such shit taste in mechs.

>>14287143
If it makes you feel better, those mechs are issued by the South Korean government.

>>14287148
It helps a little, but she chose the paintjob.


That's one thing that bothers me about the mechanical design in Overwatch: it's inconsistent as all hell.

>>14287156

In what way?

You have three mechanical characters, one of them only being half-so, and one's a military bot, one's a civilian model turned monk and the other is a government-issued piloted mech.

>>14287168
I mean every mechanical thing in the game, from the turrets, to the robot characters, to the armor of some characters. Bastion's design, for example, is a no nonsense utilitarian design, while D.Va's mech is more of a flashy design.

>>14287187
>D.Va's mech is more of a flashy design.
>D.Va the diva
>more flashy
What a mystery

>>14287156
Pin it on multiplayer character design.

You want to make them as individually unmistakable as possible so you don't have to spend half a minute trying to figure out if they're OPFOR or not.

Fuck, anyone here ever play AA?
You know that one snowed out bridge map?
It's fucking hell, friendly fire is on by default and the only reliable way to tell who's who is whether or not they're wearing a backpack. You end up shooting at your own squadmate for backpedaling just because he looks like one of the slav OPFORs from head-on.

>>14287143

Why would you pilot a mech that gives you ZERO cover?

>>14287156
That's mostly because Overwatch as a universe is inconsistent as all hell on purpose. You have Utopian metropolises on one hand while Australia is Mad Max (which isn't too different from Australia normally other than more robots). It draws from a bunch of different sci-fi genres at once and the designs reflect that.

>>14287129
>Eva invented skin tight pilot suits
We already know Overfags are new, but do you really have to drive it home? Keep this shit on /v/ and /vg/.

>>14287191
Fair enough, I hadn't considered that.
>>14287196
That's no excuse though, look at TF2 or Dirty Bomb. Both games have instantly recognizable enemies, and the designs of each character are consistent, except for hats in TF2.

Overwatch looks like someone picked a bunch of characters from three different games and had them fight each other.

So she has a headshot hitbox.

It's not like Blizzard hasn't done it before.

Like I said >>14287209, that's the point.

>>14287234
At least HOTS has the excuse of Blizzard mixing their series together like Smash Bros.

>>14287221
TF2 uses audio cues moreso than character design to differentiate one another.

Intentional or not, I still think it looks like something straight outta DeviantArt.
>>14287248
That's true, but the silhouettes of each character are still important to know who you're fighting.
>>14287250
>>14287254
I meant an excuse for the artstyle, not an excuse for the gameplay.

Same shit.

>>14287275
they completely dumbed down the dark edgy stuffs with diablo 3. which sucks for a gurofag like me. i can't remember how many times i fapped to the mutilated female corpses in the backdrop of diablo 2.

>>14287221
>Overwatch looks like someone picked a bunch of characters from three different games and had them fight each other.

That's sorta all Overwatch is. The creative staff probably spent less than an hour on making the characters for the game before they sent them to the design room.
I refuse to believe that they looked at Genji, Hanzo, Reaper, Torbjorn, Winston, Mercy, and so-on for anything more than an hour at best.

>>14287416
Winston and Mercy are the best designed out of all the characters you mentioned.

>>14287421
>before they sent them to the design room

>>14287428
Forgive me if I'm being incredibly dense, but what are you trying to get at?

>>14287432
I'm talking about characters as concepts, rather than the characters as designs.

>>14287129
>plug suits

Skin tight suits are not called plug suits.

>>14287444
Ah, I see. Feels like Overwatch's development cycle was a clusterfuck since day 1, doesn't it?

you realize mechanical design is not uniform in the real world, right

jesus

I also prefer big ol clunky scopedoges but it fits her perfectly

It's a power armor, not a mech.

Don't hold your breath. It'd be nice though

Nah, she pretty clearly pilots it. It's only power armor if you can say you "wear" it.

why didn't konami thought of this?

>>14287129
Because it's both sexier and less likely to make female supremacists get uppity than partial nudity and you have to make female characters sexy to get people to play bad games like overwatch.

>>14287129

Notice how these college feminists and their numale sympathizers--these transcendent beings who have "risen above" gender roles--instantly revert to gendered insults when a guy contradicts them. Modern progressivism is a weird dishonest form of neo-victorianism. They infantilize and paternalize women (protect them from all criticism and challenge) and and force stoicism on men, all while preaching gender equality. It's pants-on-head retarded.

>>14287129
It allows numerous possibilities for fetishization, increasing the fanbase and allowing them to be dressed in a vaguely erotic manner without triggering the usual reddit scum and attracting negative publicity

in other words, its fap fuel made by the devs for the public and offering scope to extend the game beyond just the game ia multiple avenues - after all, sex sells
