Those airplanes look like F-15 or F-18, so not that cutting edge anymore. May be an abandoned military base. Sometimes even things like tanks and airplanes are left behind after gutting them from anything valuable. And then of course VIPER took over. Also, IRL there was a lot of military installations and gear sold for…

It's only one example of the dipylon shield, they can be put together in a few different ways, and yes, they can be even painted in different patterns with or withour raised rims: So yes, it is REMOTELY close. Which is probably where Cryptic got the inspiration when they were modeling costumes for "ancient space…
-
Pretty sure you'd be surprised: It's called "Beotian" shield and was almost as popular as round aspis. In all Greece, including Sparta.
-
Can't recall any shield, but falcata and gladius are two appropriately looking legacy sword costume pieces.
-
That's lovely when you treat people like morons because obviously this can't be a network problem because it worked for you. Nope. People other than you did not play the game before for years and never ever bought Zen before or subscribed. Surely everyone else is too dumb to buy Zen. I'm afraid your personal experience is…
-
Variable Robot is a stinky set for making mecha, because it can't be matched with anything but its own costume parts. Too specific. Sakura Mecha Holo Hex Variety Pack Retro Sci-fi Mechassassin & Warlord gun hands (albeit most of robots like Gundams, Macross VF-1 or Transformers uses hand-held weapons and ATs like the…

Read it again. There's nothing on scroll-doiwn lists to pick the game and server to begin with. It. Doesn. Work. No "Champions", no "Live", no games or servers to scroll down. Since the network maintenance. So flawless was this maintenance that some people can't purchase zen... And some can't pay for subscriptions. And I…
-
Menu shows. Then when I go to payment there's no game or server possible to pick in a drop-down menu when you have to choose which game and server before you can confirm the payment. There should be a list of PWE games and their servers to pick from before you can proceed with payment. There's none. Scroll-down menus are…
-
Is network maintenance responsible for not being able to purchase Zen? Because as for now no game or game server shows to me in a drop-down menu both in browser and in the Arc client.
-
I think someone should hire the Overwatch creative team to build an actual game about capes. This is the prettiest cartoony graphics I saw since a very long time.
-
Tell them CO would gladly exchange level of funding and resources DCUO have for updates. Ok, maybe recently it's not that terrible...
-
Nope. I'm implying that it might be a reason in a corporate world to avoid usage of a term only because of a lawsuit paranoia. Though at the same time it can't be proved. Nor it can be disproved. I don't see how "may" as in "something may be" is an implication of "something is". You're seriously jumping the gun here... I…
-
I don't have to. Because I did not state it as a fact. The wording was: "Blizzard avoiding strict terminology may be coming from Activision lawyers to simply not have the trouble." Check it twice because you jump the gun again. And the possibility may or may not be there.
-
And how your words prove the possibility is an assumption? I like my assumption better, it's equally founded. Besides, anyone here even reads the fluff on the Overwatch site? "The world needs heroes" It doesn't even read like a standard fluff for a shooter game.
-
You'd wish it was an assumption: http://www.blastr.com/2013-2-1/marvel-and-dc-sue-small-publisher-over-using-word-superhero The legal reality is a bit more absurd. If a company can sue, they will sue. Even if it is not really possible to win in the court the trial itself will be costly and that's enough to force an…
-
Is he fighting muggers, terrorists, or Cap Hook in London? No. It's just a prologue location, the rest of the book is a fantasy novel set in a different land. That's a big difference in setting. Guardians of the Galaxy or Silver Surfer are sort of spin-off to the core built around the characters like Spiderman or the…
-
Also, a reminder that has little to do with actual superhero settings, but a lot to do with real world. The term "superhero" is, technically, a joint trademark of both Marvel and DC. There are some efforts to void it, but still... Which is why other publishers avoid using it and substitute a different wording instead.…
-
You do realise that this kind of definition is basically rejecting any idea of building any new comic universe outside of rehashing/rebooting Marvel, DC or Valiant? Short of going a way of a total homage, of course.
-
I'm not using any broad criterias. Not sure when you read it. My criteria for what kind of setting fits the genre are actually pretty strict. What kind of characters fit - likewise. Never considered a gun toting Frank Castle a superhero, at best a guy who happends to share the setting with actual superheroes (unlike…
-
Don't hide behind an implied language barrier. You did try reduction to absurd with equaling it with unrelated things like Mario Brothers or Star Wars. Don't act now as if you were playing gently and cultural and were attacked in return. Please, it won't fly anyway. Besides, pasting YT videos into an angry post and then…
-
You had it listed in this topic, seriously. Your stubborness and denial aren't even smart or funny at this point. Superpowered individuals OR badass normals. Costumed. In a fairly real world setting (their setting isn't really much different than, let's say, Millenium City). Separated between good and bad, color themed,…
-
Please, don't pretend you don't understand. You're dishonest. A baseline archetypical setting for superheroes is a "world outside your window" except with alterations for making things like hidden lands and magical tribes possible. At worst it's also "twenty minutes into the future". Other settings may exist in the same…
-
You noticed this girl in the Overwatch who's using a small personal mecha/armor? Also... "First of all, they're part of a superhero universe that recognizes that superheroes are a thing. Remember, that's one of the biggest criteria I mention." But the Overwatch using a an ordinary world setting with powered costumed…
-
And Guardians of the Galaxy don't fit the genre. Same as the Hulkbuster armor. Also, again you're grasping straws with Super Mario the same way you did with Peter Pan. You're throwing a fit because modern state of the genre don't fit your criterias, that's all.
-
There's no "rationale" you're trying to sell. By criterias of "your checklist" only few modern books aside of a very traditional legacy heroes who are still wearing old costumes fits the genre. The Overwatch graphics are a bit stylised and "cinematic" in regards how much embellishment and armor they wear, but it only means…
-
A modern day (ok, more like a near future) setting where superpowered evildoers fight superpowered vigilantes, and the team is assembled by a benevolent genius... And everyone has a costume with villains clearly separated by their darker appearance? Sorry to say it, but this sounds a lot of like your standard template…
-
Yeah, I rest my case. Overwatch does look a lot of like a modern take on superhero theme. Kinda in line with what the Big Two are doing when they feel like going slightly futuristic.
-
Got enough credits by mass murdering gangsters in Vibora Bay. Random's random.
-
I saw the movie. I did survive. Was hard to stay awake. Seriously? After BvS I no longer feel that liking Bayformers is my guilty pleasure. At least Optimus ripping off spines and faces is a watch-the-trainwreck kind of fun.
-
This poll has Overwatch listed as a superhero game. This is how seriously it should be taken.
-
MODOK's cool. Though a bit too Marvel-specific to risk making a close homage.
-
That's Diablo. In Champions fluff maintaining undead minions is an evil act.
-
Lol. Wobbly ears on foxes? Totally makes sense! Seriously, instead of rigging all animal heads in a similar way it should by on a case-by-case basis. It doesn't even make any sense for certain animals. BTW, I hope that experiments with jiggle physics wil stay only with things like hair or ears. Srsly.
-
Action figure is a pointless, useless, gift. Not everyone's a collector and creds can be turned for costumes. The change is controversial at best.
-
Repurchase for 200 recog after price hikes. Seriously, this one costume piece should be priced for less. It wasn't a player's fault that it has to be repurchased now.
-
Handles would need to be reshaped for single/dual blades animations.
-
Could build it as a hybrid role tank with Protector specs. The niche of an unspecialised melee Hybrid that can be either a secondary tank or a melee DPS is already covered by the Savage. Buuut then people would complain that it isn't indestructible enough, anyway.
-
^This. More stances and walk/run animations. Especially female characters have very limited and awkward options. How about the same repertoir STO and NW are using? Played this game for years and used emotes other than sit/afk like... Maybe ten times total and I'm pretty generous in this approximation. Gimme some stances,…
-
My lazy way is to have a Havoc Stomp only to spam it for Enrage stacks. But it takes a power slot.
-
Kill it with fire. I did not expect there may be a movie even more off the mark than Bayformers (and minus Bayformers actual commercial success, lol). Eagerly awaiting Play-Doh the Movie to follow this greatness. Yup, suggested it long time ago, somewhere after CoH closed:…
-
My next playthtough may be, finally, BOS. So I can play a military hardhead royal A-Hole. A different flavor of being a total ****. Dumb robot followers are the best because they're like Dogmeat on steroids - totally drama free.
-
The criteria for considering anything a clone in this game (not by gamemasters, but by players) are always amusing to me. I have some characters that are terrible in-your-face homages, but never were called as clones. If your character is a clone of anything, it must be from a very obscure source material.
-
I spammed so many painted white robots and synth relay grenades everywhere that I wouldn't be surprised if there was nearly as much (or even slightly more) Institute robots than settlers in the Commonwealth. But that's ok, because settlers are useless poinless parasites anyway (morons can't do any farming job on their own,…
