kanye wet

it's ridiculous to posit that this item is "unoriginal" because the dangeresque exists. The line of inspiration for both items goes back to kanye west. The shades in dangeresque 3 were a mutation of the kanye west design. the dangeresque is literally shaped like tiny windows with tilted blinds. Mine are intentionally shaped like Kanye's. Both of these items would have to be unoriginal if one of them is (and I am okay with that)

the dangeresque is only for demoman and hasn't been legitimately obtainable for years, and you have to go out of your way to secure a means to unlock them, whereas this is wearable by the eight other classes. That on its own constitutes a reason to produce them

I find it absolutely hard to believe that you genuinely think the same type of item on 2 different classes constitutes a problem, you'd have your work cut out for you pointing out all the different times that's happened in tf2's lifespan. It's a totally manufactured reason to moan in workshop comments

On something this small, in a game that both moves fast and lacks detail? They're functionally identical.
Usually when I see an era-breaking cosmetic, I can at least say "well, at-least it's original." This isn't even that. I really try not to be overly negative with my comments, I know you guys work hard on these cosmetics, but I'm have a great deal of difficulty coming up with anything positive to say about these things...
Perhaps if you put tinted glass between the shutters, so it looked closer to something Macho Man would wear? Or tried to make them look like they belonged in the 60s by shaping them like those big round sunglasses that were popular at the time? Just... give me SOMETHING positive to say!

it's literally a different style of shutter shades

I'm sorry, but regardless of what you say, this is EXACTLY the Dangeresque. If I gave the Professor's Specs rounded lenses, you wouldn't call that a new item.

Yes, I know it's all-class, but I feel like you could've put in a LITTLE more creativity... couple it with a hat or something, maybe? You had options that you quite intentionally did not take, is what I'm saying.

id argue the dangeresque was only egregious because it was a blinding pale white and had fully saturated paint. it absolutely did not abide TF2's color palette

outside of the obvious offenders (pink and lime of course) I think this item does a much better job fitting the palette with most paint options

Dangeresque Too, one of the most egregious items in the game according to Robin Walker, is now going all-class. Isn't that telling.

So called unobtainable when I can gameshare people to get you guys the og one cuz I have Poker Night game

dope

plssss

Valve, please add this 👍

dangeresque 2

no worries brother you've been a lot more polite than some other people I've dealt with recently, I'm sorry if I came off standoffish as a result

I suppose it's just a pet peev of mine. Sorry for arguing so much lol.

I just don't see the problem with different classes having conceptually similar items

Yes, that is true.
I want to make clear that this is a well-made little cosmetic that fits the game nicely and that I wouldn't mind having it in game. But, I also think that it's a little unoriginal given that this kind of cosmetic already exists (although it is limited, both in availability and in classes able to wear it.

You make lots of good stuff (I really love the most recent war paint you've made and I can tell you put a lot of work into it) and I don't want to discredit your work. I hope you make more awesome stuff. I don't want to come off as angry or offended.

idk if you know this but hockey masks exist in real life and are something people wear

Exactly. Those are all hockey masks with minimal variations. The two after Face Plante are unoriginal and shouldn't have been added.

so the goalkeeper is a copy & paste ripoff of the face of mercy right? which itself was just a copy & paste ripoff of the face plante?

But the concept is the same, no? It's glasses with blinds going horizontally. Only difference is that it's team-colored and modelled differently.

it doesn't. it's noticeably different.

@wurlmon saying this is "similar" to the Dangeresque Too isn't correct, it IS the Dangeresque Too. It looks near exactly like it.

The model looks a lot better than the strong bad version, so it’s an improvement to me

I think it's important to have certain items be unique to their classes, and while the Dangeresque, Too? is hard to obtain for most people, it should be the only version of this item in the game. That is what makes it special. That, of course, and the Dangeresque's reference isn't solely just that, but also a purposeful promotional item, with a specific nod towards Homestar Runner. People put a lot of investment into getting those, and to see something like this added would make all of that worthless.
I'd say give this something more than just "The Dangeresque, but for everyone/paintable." Maybe different styles, with the bars aligned vertically rather than horizontally, and a proper late 70s/Early 80s party set to go with it.

But this IS the dangeresque too.
It's the exact same concept.
Pretty unoriginal, if you asked me.

my only complaint is that the item name is a bit boring
other than that, panning time

thank you for atleast changing the color and making it all class, i was bout to slap ur ass for making dangeresque 2

I mean... Some people literally can't own it lol

Tell me you don't own poker night at the inventory without telling me you don't own poker night at the inventory

I don't understand why some people in the comments pefer an item that legit is unoptainable over this one.

Besides. these have much better detail than Dangeresque Too? in my opinon too.

Amazing execution. People who complain about it being similar to Dangeresque Too clearly also hate seeing Spy Coats, Engie cowboy hats or Soldier helmets - we already have plenty of them!

That being said, if you insist that these are entirely different to the Dangeresque, I’d recommend you try recreating some of the other ‘unobtainable’ promotional cosmetics (such as the triclops or flamingo kid), or the cosmetics that are so needlessly expensive that hardly anyone can afford them (summer hat).

People who spent $10 getting Poker Night gameshared with their account so that they could own the Dangeresque Too when this gets added to the game.

In all fairness, they do look very similar. The only difference being that these are all class.

And is also only accessible from a game that's no longer available for purchase, so the original is only accessible for a very few amount of players

for one class. this works for all 9 classes.

This isn't original. We have this in the game.

all due respect it's not a rehash of anything

I'm torn - on one hand I can make a proper demopan loadout without shredding through my wallet. On the other, it's a rehash of a pre-existing cosmetic, which is, eh?
I wouldn't be upset if this was added though, not by a long shot.

im down for a good pair of shades you can't get anymore

Rare 2011 L

the intention isn't to make an improved version, other shutter shades existing for once class had no bearing on my wanting to make shutter shades for all classes. the design is different, they're not relevant to one another. like idk man I feel like complaints about this item existing are pretty manufactured and reactionary

people always looking for something to complain about. this is good!

It's not whiteknighting, the Dangeresque Too is objectively a poorly made promotional item, there wasn't any criticism beyond "dangeresque too more like dangeresque 2 cringe"
You could say the team colors are too unsaturated, or it's a lot of busy detail, just going "it's the same thing you stole it" is just not true when the item practically doesn't exist anymore and the intention is to make an improved version

@FUCK the people that 'whiteknighted' brought up much better points while this 2011 guy kept calling us losers and being needlessly vulgar & aggressive towards us.

I'm sorry but no, Yikes had every right to block him, because he really wasn't providing anything of value in terms of an indepth critique besides being needlessly mean-spirited to us.

It's fine not to like something - we're not making items that tailors towards everyone's personal tastes and desires - but when you act out towards content creators in a needlessly hostile way, you shouldn't be shocked if you get blocked.

TBH I'm 50/50 yea it's all class Dangeresque, Too? BUT you can't get that misc anymore given the game got taken off steam due to the tell tale games incident.

Oho, I love me some shutter shades! And boy howdy, do these ones look fine! Love how the paint looks on them, too. Nice job!

@domi so if you call an item not good it's not criticism? sorta doesn't make sense

but the dude gave criticism and 4 people whiteknighted rather than making valid points against it, i understand you wanna call friends to help you defend some random dude but blocking him is just petty

then just say it doesn't look good, that wasn't even his original problem in the first place

make your criticism useful, and try not being needlessly hostile
