Oh look I gotta pay to access the meat of the update's content again. Great. Spectacular.

I'm surprised anybody bothers with trading with how hard the market crashed from constant Valve meddling and most of the economy's backbone packing up for other games.

If that's what's happening then I dunno what they're expecting out of it since TF2's prominence as a result of it would probably be quite short-lived, unless they've got a butt-load of frequent community updates lined up after it.

Wasn't it b4nny that was mouthbreathing about all the optimization and things happening for Meet Your Match and then was just "confused" when absolutely none of it came true? I'm loathe to trust anybody but the developers themselves on what will be coming with updates, especially from somebody who supposedly has a very spotty history with managing to make accurate calls. Reddit's instinctive reaction to fellate the developers isn't terrifically surprising.

I remember hearing of something similar where Caber was nerfed because Medics could get divebombed with it, except it didn't actually happen on a regular basis because Caber was near-instantaneously blacklisted pretty much everywhere.

Their proposed change is a really weird one, since usually if you're using Bonk you're either dead in the next two seconds or you're completely home-free. A slowdown isn't really going to change the weapon, or make it require any more skill than it already does. Hell, I think its current cooldown and deprivation of a pistol is already enough of a trade-off for what it does.

I'm not at all fond of giving up your SMG and suddenly being able to deal with direct fire damage even better than the Pyro.

It's rather interesting that some of their proposed solutions to problems with weapons are reversions to their original incarnations or giving them abilities similar to their original incarnations, ie GRU drained health at launch until the Mann-conomy update and now it drains max health. Not really, though most people just used it as an Axtinguisher for Scout.

Update today with some comp medals and "updated localization files". Also they broke crafting.

Nah, trying to design a game with an esports or comp scene already in mind is the best way to completely prevent a game from ever having one take off on its own merits. At that point you dump a shit-ton of money into tournaments for it and hope it takes off in Korea.

I'm half-certain they used the DMC3-costume Donte and called it even. Everybody looks like a blown-out crack whore in this thing, save for Rocket Raccoon who looks like a Chuck E. Cheese animatronic.

I could've sworn I remembered something about a Jap-only PS4 MMO, seems like I'm thinking of Frontier Z which looks pretty similar but not quite that good.

Looks like it's a localization of that Jap-only MMO. Wake me up when Monster Hunter 5/5 Ultimate pops up.

They've got the license to use the most well-known video game franchise on the face of the planet, so might as well try and force everyone to like Rabbids again by leeching off of the popularity of a mascot that can actually sell. You know, those annoying little prototype Minions that were wildly unpopular everywhere but France, and which even France tired of eventually. There's no way this can go wrong!

God I was so desperately, desperately, desperately, desperately hoping that Rabbids/Mario crossover was a fake fever-dream of Ubisoft's.
