    I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing in this match

    It says "stop the payload" which, to me, would mean "blow it up or something"

    But then it says "defend"

    the payload only moves when the enemy team is close to it

    so stop them from being close to it

    If it's anything like TF2 there's a payload that is heading towards your base and stopping it is usually an area control + timer exercise.

    Ah okay

    This is actually a lot more enjoyable than I thought it would be, I had essentially zero hopes of liking it

    I'm incredibly bad at it though and that's not likely to change, so not sure if I'll pick it up yet or not

    What's the point of liking players after battle?

    It feels good

    You're lining up after the match to high-five and say "good game"

    Nah it's just the game picking 4 good stats and being like "hey which one of these is coolest?"

    They're being rewarded with everyone saying "hey you did great buddy!"

    Why doesn't it keep track of medals in your stats? Why doesn't it have a quick rejoin game option? Why does it make you leave your group whenever you exit anything? Why am I so good?

    So, no

    And you can only vote for one, which makes it competitive in nature, which is why I assumed there might be something deeper to it

    Man you should have seen some of the games @Angry and I had a couple months ago. We'd have a couple games where we were the fucking GOAT and then a couple where we couldn't do a single goddamn thing. The matchmaking is gonna be real bad, but eventually you'll get paired with people about as good as you! Give it a little bit!

    So happy for people to finally play this in a big way.

    I remember when they canceled Titan, and I just kept telling myself "I hope they do something with that prototype".

    Have fun everybody.

    So wow. Your mileage my vary and all that, but I found the current Brawl game type to be just unbelievably unfun. Mystery Heroes means you get switched to a random hero when you spawn. Which also resets any Ultimate charge you had. Which means snowballing galore, which means the winning team gets all the Ults and the losing team gets none. And it's just really frustrating to be on the losing side, and really boring to be on the winning side.

    Having a highlights menu right there on the main page is so smart, especially with the way they dress it up with a title card and "Highlights: UnbreakableVow as D.Va"

    Makes for real good YouTube presentation

    Because it can instantly take your attitude from "I suck so bad at this" to "well I self destructed my mech, I couldn't get away from the blast but I also killed three other people with it" and then you feel pretty decent

    The world just wasn't ready for a FPS with a hobby-grade coop campaign and genre-blended, multi-mode competitive e-sports with meta-growth, choice + epic Heroes

    I especially liked how last week Gearbox was like "yeah when we're done with this game Borderlands 3 is coming"

    For fuck's sake lads

    I really like Borderlands but I hope they try some different stuff with BL3

    as it stands, each game is basically Borderlands 1 but slightly better. Well, better gameplay-wise, at least.

    This game is weird for me

    I love the setting and style TO DEATH

    And I have gotten into online team FPSes before but they aren't one of my top genres

    But I will have friends to play with! But only on PC, and I am garbage with a mouse and keyboard and use a controller if I can and so I am usually handicapped a bit compared to proper PC players so

    Hrm

    there's a few characters that you probably won't want to play without THE TWITCHIN' but there's definitely folks in every role that you can feel comfortable with while having weaker aiming skills

    protip you can hide behind any small piece of cover to negate the blast damage

    Makes it a lot easier to survive your ult as DVa

    OH MAN

    You can combine D.Va's flight with her self destruct

    So I was going headlong into a group of people, started flying towards them, hit self destruct and backed up as I sent my flying suicide mech toward them and got a triple kill

    Faaaaaaantastic

    It's even better when you fly nearly straight up and hit self destruct, it goes so far up, and the other team is just so confused trying to figure out where it is.

    You can also kill people by dropping your mech summon on them

    It's pretty much the best

    i just did this

    We only had about a minute left to take over their second point for the win, sent it up towards them at about a 45 degree angle

    Instant five-kill streak, captured the point, won the game, another play of the game
