Asema posted:At the same time, just because they've played it non-stop also doesn't really mean anything at this point. Though it's encouraging that Riot didn't do the EA/Apex paid advertisement for 3 days for the viewership and they are still playing it. Didn't EA only pay a couple of streamers and the rest was organic?

I remember people streaming artifact and trying to convince their chat that actually this was a good game and not a convoluted pile of trash. That said, everyone was really hyped about Apex too and while its still a good game its popularity is nowhere near what the original week of streams would make you think it'd be like.

Asema posted:Apex is still doing pretty well for itself. Chasing view numbers is insanity. Actual player pops are pretty clearly nowhere near what they were the initial month too, but that dramatically outpaced what EA expected for the game. EA didn't have any content or a roadmap ready to go, they probably had very, very low expectations for the game. edit: for your chasing stream metrics amusement bernie sanders's twitch stream currently has 123k viewers to watch him drop out of the race hobbesmaster fucked around with this message at 16:57 on Apr 8, 2020 |

Overwatch has to pay for what a decade of failed MMO development just to break even? so it may still be a “failure”

kimcicle posted:It shows how much the Valorant devs care about the gaming experience. CS:GO can run at 128 but still cap the official matchmaking servers to 64. I think CoD and Overwatch only run at 30-ish? Having a high tick rate really helps with making sure that what you see on your screen is as close as possible to the in-world state that exists on the server. Downside is that it requires beefier hardware for the game servers. wow that kimcicle guy is an rear end in a top hat

ufarn posted:So far, Raze is apparently a Brazilian whose voice is very much not Brazilian, so I guess it's fair to admit to some similarities to Overwatch given how Tracer very much did not sound like a Londoner. Look, they got someone from the right country, what more do you expect from an american game dev company?

flakeloaf posted:Also the rez has the serious downside of returning someone to life in the place where they died. If that person's on attack, it's likely that being in that place is just going to get them killed again Its also on such a long cool down, its nowhere near as powerful as it seems.

Lex Neville posted:@hobbesmaster, the cooldown depends on your own performance Its 7 pips, thats realistically only going to be up every what third round at most? If its up more often you're hard carrying and clearly don't need to res anyone.

Mr.Citrus posted:I don't find valorant fun to watch, like apex / pubg / Cs / siege. This might be due to spectator tools but also 40 second round intermission is great in game, terrible for viewing. Thats going to depend greatly on the casters and other packaging. Goldenboy casting the devs vs streamer team was quite good because Goldenboy is good at what he does. Its telling that the caster audio is such poo poo. Streamers that peak with 30 concurrent views have better mics.

Auto shotty is ok but the alt shot on the semi is so much cooler. I'm not sure I've seen a scout used well? The problem is that theres no reason to get it over the deagle but different maps may change that balance. HMGs are to wallbang with but again I'm not sure I've seen them do better work than the rifles?

The important thing in the tournament is that the overwatch team embarasses other FPS teams and that the LoL people rage quit.
