I've found a way to roughly assess Overwatch's player count's drop, and it's huge.
Stats site named overbuff gives you a quick rank per hero, on pic related you can see that the player I've used for my research (that one autist who played every hero for 100 hours so I can have all the stats I needed on one page) is ranked 137,588 out of 370,661 Soldier:76 players. This means that on PC, 370,661 people have played Soldier enough to have that rank in qp. 2nd place goes to Lucio with 353,331 players and worst place for a hero playable at launch goes to Bastion with 87,275 players, as you can see on the picture.
Now this is where things are getting interesting. If you look at heroes who have been released after the game's launch, you can have a hint at how the player base has shrinked. As you can see, Ana had a lot of success with 209,946 players, she was released three months after the game's launch.
But if you look at Sombra, the second released hero...That's right, only 37,231 players. While there are excuses for this, such as she's shit, and players already had their main and didn't want to go out of their comfort zone to learn someone new, that number is still alarming.
Now jumping directly to Doomfist, only 7,145 people played him enough to have a quick rank. You could say he's new, but he's already one month old, and while that number is growing, you'll be able to monitor it too and see that it doesn't grow that fast. Given Doomfist's appeal, had he been available at launch, his players number would probably be somewhere between other offense heroes ones.
Conclusion : game's bleeding players like crazy.

Good thinking. Now let's see if any Overwatch babbies have an intelligent rebuttal.
lol hilarious how when it's factually negative to Overwatch, none of the stealth Blizzard shills will reply.
Actual player count numbers would be nice.
good games to play during guaranteed power outages? need to stock up.
>>388120336
>play during guaranteed power outages
Boardgames?
>>388120336
In Houston, gonna be feeling it pretty soon.
Personally, find a book and go read it as you wait for power to come back on.

Did anyone get their beta code email yet? I'm starting to get nervous.
>>388120313
Yeah, my email came in about 15 minutes ago. Downloading the beta now.

I logged in via psn and they said they'll send an email, but I don't know what email they'll send it to, my psn email? Whenever I try to look at my profile it just gives me a fucking error
>they're actually discussing about a paying """BETA""" of the #189382392474978 Call of Doody which probably looks the most generic of them all if such a thing is even possible

Will we ever have a good Game of Thrones game?
>>388120643
We do. Its called crusader kings. Thier is even a GOT mod for it.
>>388120643
It's within the realm of possibility, I wouldn't be surprised if more games about it are made after they finish the show.
There's been plenty of good games based off of book/tv IPs
Aaaaaaghhhh
Hello /v/, see pic related to understand what mechanical botting is.
Incase you're retarded, mechanical botting is a non-punishable form of botting (most games) that uses no software but a real life object to click for you, thus avoiding all the software scouts that run on your computer while playing a MMO or other grindfest game.
Now, my question is, should I use a drinking bird or are there better methods to consider?
No DIY contraptions please, they are either difficult to make or wear out so quickly they are useless.
>>388119870
How complicated are the inputs that you need?
>>388120038
I need a mechanical thing that clicks my left mouse key every 20 seconds or shorter, that's all.
>>388119870
>he wants to bot an MMO or a grindfest with a drinking bird
I think the simplest way is to stop making games for PC, period.

Provide a better service than pirates do
The video game industry is insanely profitable even with all this "rampant piracy", why do you give a fuck about it?
>>388119805
It won't work because you can never provide the service for free
Would this be a good template for Sonic Adventure 3?
>>388119492
They need to show an actually tightly designed level, right now most of it is just running around empty space.
No, the dev should just reskin it with an original character to actually make money off of it.
Adventure 3 should use, gee I don't know, Adventure 2 as a template.
>>388119492
How can you make a 3D Sonic in an open world viable?
How can enemies even become a threat to you if you're too fast for them?
Make them use hitscan? lmao
Is this a good video game or a bad video game
Great theme, so-so game.
A flawed vidya.
>>388119403
I liked it.
Is this game meant to be so unbearably boring?
Probably the worst game i've played in my life. At least other bad games I was able to drop, but this one I really need to beat so I can get that platinum using trophy shop.
>>388119332
I bet you're that guy that hates books even though they are best.
>>388119332
>Probably the worst game i've played in my life.
Let me guess, you're 12 and this is 3rd game you ever played.
>>388119332
Teleport to the desert apartments, then go all the way to the back of that area, picking up chips from dead androids along the way. Now go down into the pit. That will become your only joy for hours on end, in this overrated game.
I love clowns. Give me games where there are clowns. Bonus points if I can become the clown.
