(Really Blizzard?)

What I am about to show you is from Overwatch and Paladins, Paladins was released first, however they did a game design overhaul from alpha to beta and appeared to copy Overwatch. However, in recent updates, Overwatch has been appearing to copy more and more off of Paladins original character designs.

The above two are from the original cast of Paladins: Fernando is on the left (who has a rectangular barrier) and Evie is on the right (who has an ice block ability) These two were revealed before blizzard revealed similar abilities. 
Below( left, Reinhardt with a rectangular barrier, and Right, mei with an ice block ability)

But due to blizzard fanboys, Paladins was called the Overwatch Clone, even though they had a capture the cp to unlock the payload mode before the Assault/escort hybrid mode in Overwatch.

But Overwatch has been copying for a while as this hasn't stopped. Below was Ruckus and Bolt from the original paladins cast, (a person in a mech with repeating gatling guns) and The post-beta character D.Va (person in mech with repeating guns.) from Overwatch. Ruckus and D.va

But that was only at launch. what else?

Post launch Characters featured a stealth assassin Sombra (who copied Skye, a launch character, left, in design)Image result for skye paladins

Later, Moira in Overwatch had a very Witch-like design (not to mention being a strongly damage-oriented healer which attained lifesteal) and used orbs and phase shifting to manuever. Much like Seris from Paladins (top)


.




















Now the two most recent comparisons honestly look like shameless ripoffs.
For The paladins World championship The owl-styled stealth Sniper Strix got a special skin called the Coldsnap. (pictured top), a month or two afterwards, in the Winter Wonderland update, The Sniper Character Ana got a skin called Snowy owl (below) look familiar?
And Lastly, Their newest Hero which is meant to be a front line tank. Brigitte (top) has a strong resemblance to a character in Paladins named Ash (below) that came roughly 9 months ago. THE FLAGS EVEN HAVE GAMEPLAY SIGNIFICANCE FOR AOE BUFFS. THEY BOTH USE BARRIERS AND CAN BASH AN OPPONENT BACK.

And yet in all this, Paladins is still called an Overwatch Clone. Stop it Blizzard, please.
In addition a post was added to Reddit a couple years ago from a Hi-rez Employee detailing that they did not copy Overwatch. Check it out here.
I've also learned it's best not to make a roadmap because I just flunk it anyways.

Here it is!

Sorry about some clipping things, I couldn't find a bunch of models on the workshop (so I couldn't represent some other games like Ghost Recon Wildlands)
We have The crash bandicoot n-sane trilogy (i've never played that) Breath of the Wild, Cuphead, Year 2 for Rainbow Six Siege (I'M NOT PLAYING NICE ELA) Jump up super star (super mario oddessy), PUBG (the crate, there weren't any good player models available), battlefront II's falling flat on it's face. and Overwatch Year 2.
hope you enjoyed 2017!

Scratch that: I'm gonna make something special first.

So I just watched Youtube rewind 2017, and it was awful
I'm gonna make a series of SFM posters and the like
To make a Gaming rewind 2017
From Jungle Inferno and other updates (year 2 of siege), to Reddit vs EA, to Assassins creed origins (and other new releases. and just because it is made by one of the great indies I will include fnaf 6), PUBG and Fortnite refacing the genre, Artifact's reveal, cuphead, the nintendo switch, Lawbreakers (funeral), and lastly the 4K console Titans.
it's gonna be a lot of work, but 2017 was a hectic year.

My Roadmap and apologies.

I tend to be behind on this stuff. so here's what I plan to do.

Gaming News comes out so often that I can't really keep up with what I want to write.
So my next posts will be (in this order)
Jungle Inferno (Day 2,3,4, and aftermath)
Operation White Noise
Paladins (in light of OB64)

Then I hope to group The Crew, The Division, and Ghost Recon Wildlands in a short period of time over new years.

from then on I might look at Five Nights at Freddy's 6..... (Just kidding, I took an oath)

Please Submit ideas to me at my youtube channel or Discord

Jungle Inferno: this is the real TF3.0 (part 1)

WELCOME TO MERCENARY PARK

 Anyone remember this guy? Well, he finally gets the new weapons he wants in the newest update, JUNGLE INFERNO

I'm gonna go over the content in this and give my opinion (since it's been out for a couple weeks).
So after a year (~474 days) of silence, we get the major pyro/jungle update we were promised.
AND BOI IS IT BIG. For 16 people on a dev team we got more bang for our (hypothetical) buck than we could have imagined. I literally stopped playing Overwatch for the past week, even while the Halloween terror event was going. Overwatch just became much less content filled. Plus we got our beloved VALVe team behavior that we haven't seen in years with daily bug patches.

CONTENT

This was a 4-day update so i'll go day-by-day

DAY ONE:
We got the SFM short JUNGLE INFERNO.
watch it here
MImage result for Tf2 brazil
and we got 6 I repeat SIX new maps
2 for King of the Hill
2 for Attack/Defend (one was VALVE MADE)
1 for Payload Race
And 1 for Payload
Image result for tf2 mossrockImage result for tf2 mossrock
They are Mercenary Park, Lazarus, Mossrock, Enclosure, Banana Bay, and Brazil.

My Opinion on the content released this day
YETI PUNCH!!!!
(675/1000) Some maps are a bit annoying balance wise.
