Having so much fun watching it instead of being able to play.
>>315596004
If you don't notice you are the SJW.
>>315596004
One female character has muscles and pink hair. Clearly this makes the whole thing irredeemable.
>>315596367
And one female has one expanding ass.
>>315596004
Some fags think that one black guy and a manly woman with pink hair is pandering to SJW,
like everyone has to "take sides" on this bullshit.

Played for 2 days now.
It's exactly TF2 except every character has a stupid OP ultimate and tanks put giant stupid fucking walls that you can't shoot through taking all the fun out of the fucking game.
Will probably drop it within a week.

>>315596732
hello reddit
>>315596947
how's can be how does
Instead of using their other characters like the japanese guy and brown sexy lady, they make tumblr incarnate to say how progressive they are, those fags don't care about representation of minorities and diversity, they just want to be included.
>>315597209
not him
how is anything he said excessive or inflammatory?
It sounds like he's just disappointed.
>>315599067
It sounds like he is a faggot.
>>315599165
being a faggot don't make what he says bait
>>315597209
He's right though. If you've played TF2 at all, you'll almost feel how similar it plays just looking at gameplay videos.
>>315596108
>popular streamers
>play it for a day
if it was going to be popular they would be playing it a lot to make maximum twitchbux like the cancerous faggots they are
>>315598159
everyone in that picture is in the game, except White Fox who the devs say they've had trouble balancing
>>315596846
so what you're saying is the sjws are already inside blizzard, insidiously taking them over
>/v/ believes Overwatch will fail
this is some insane denial that /v/ lives in
its legitimately crazy
>>315598159
I don't want to play it because of how many fucking classes there are
they all have 0 depth too
This game can't actually be an arena shooter if they are releasing it on consoles, it would just crash and burn.
>>315596367
>>315596667
This should balance it out
>overwatch is pay to play
>tf2 isnt
ummmmmmmm, overtards?????????
>>315600042
nah it's gonna be a success but not as big as activision/ blizzard are hoping it will be, The game is trash regardless of that
>>315600258
It's going to be a huge financial success and a moderately lasting one at worst
all the stuff that /v/ hates about it are all the things casuals love about it and casuals are what carry most games
>>315600194
Well it could never have been an arena shooter given that you spawn with everything you could want and the only thing you can pick up on the is health.
>>315595465
>>sjws
just because you don't have a girlfriend doesn't mean you need to rage at homos
>Tried to appeal to SJWs for and SJWs still don't like it
SJWs don't play games mate, they're a vocal minority
>>315600407
>casuals are what carry most games
Publishers WANT casuals to carry things
Casuals can't carry shit for a short walk
Why do you think they have to release the same(or worse) game with a new coat of paint every year to keep the casuals attention focused?
It is already crashing, and the publisher will learn nothing
Hell destroying demo's while simultaneously concocting false limitation like beta keys, while STREAMING exists basically guarantees that most people will drop it once the e-celebs move onto the next thing
>>315595465
>Tried to appeal to SJWs for and SJWs still don't like it
Do you realize you're going to have to say this about every future game? Every developer who has ignored "SJWs" up to this point will eventually start caring about minority representation, because including minority characters is free PR and not including them has the chance to start a shitstorm. A real one, not "perpetually angry 4chan Nazis still angry".
>>315596846
for reference
>>315595465
>appeal to SJWs
I'm sorry, but with the enormous amounts of ass in this game I seriously doubt that. The pink-haired dyke was merely a bone thrown to shut people up, but nothing can contain the ass.
>>315599775
I'm assuming that's the dude with the sword next to McCree on the left?
>>315600710
Tell that to developers
>>315600887
Does her ass still expand in-game? This is important.
>>315600887
Isn't one of the characters literal descriptions that he spreads messages of social justice? The black one who uses music
>>315600883
>pink hair
>undercut
Wow cool so different, really challenging the norm
>>315601058
Half the characters are essentially beacons of goodwill of some sort and the rest are varying shades of grey to edgelord.
>>315600984
It doesn't even need to, the ass is fat
Got in beta, played for an hour, uninstalled.
Game will be dead as soon as they let people actually play it and see how boring it is.
>>315600984
Fuck off, Dobson.
>>315600883
I'd be insulted if I was her. She's fairly attractive even with the hair.
>>315596291
Nice thought terminating cliche
>game so casual it somehow makes the most casual fps tf2 look hardcore
I'm gonna laugh at all the tf2 fags when they cry casualization of the genre in a few years. Let them see how us arenafags feel.
>>315601685
you realize quake pros have been playing a ton of overwatch, right?
there is a lot of team play and counters involved
>>315601524

Yeah they'll totally not be bored within a week.

>>315602056
>being a "pro" in a dead game
rofl
overwatch is trash, casual garbage. the people that still play quake just want to be relevant in the competitive gaming scene so obviously they would flock to overwatch. it's still a trash game.
>>315602353
Oh no!
>>315602417
Not me!
Honestly I dont know why you guys complain about sjw shit in vidya, especially if it has no direct effect on gameplay or anything at all actually.
Zarya's a shit character anyway, and her existence doesn't immediately make the game an absolute flop because you don't like it. If I didn't know of the current issue of sjws on the vidya industry I would probably be confused as to which side is overreacting to the slightest hiccup. To summarize, quit being sensitive bitches just like the ones you actually hate. It's really fucking stupid to care so much about videogame character design (for a character that no one will play in the first place without sucking a huge chode).

f2p game with low barrier for entry with easy access for children and third worlders that don't communicate very well with everyone else + a format where matches can take over 30 minutes + volatile mechanics where a few mistakes can cost you a whole game = a massive shit storm, to say nothing of the general rule of thumb that comes with online games of any sort.
>>315599683
Like 100 people have access to it in the world. Why would anyone think it's going to get popular until it's at least in open beta?
>>315602659

He's a midget. So i guess its ok
>>315595465
implying: the post!
the gunfeel looks fucking terrible
>>315606870
What does that even mean?
Great game
>>315606906
You know how in good first person shooters, guns are satisfying to use? They have weight and impact? This game does not have that. Fucking reaper has dual shotguns and he shoots them like water pistols. Even the revolver looks like garbage.
>60 burgerbux on top of a f2p model
wow no thanks
>>315607256
What? They never announced a payment model yet.
Well, people who watch overwatch on Twitch only watch the broadcasters they like... meaning if the popular broadcasters one day wanted to stream minesweeper, minesweeper will be the top game.
People like their broadcaster, not the game.
The problem with this game is the problem I have with all other non-TF2 shooters.
It's fucking impossible to tell team mates from enemies without red names over everyone's heads. So you're not looking at people, you're looking for red names.
>>315606870
>gunfeel
Arin?
>>315607313
The way they've carefully worded things suggests that there's going to be f2p on top of that.
The "you get 21 heroes for 60 bux" is particularly telling.
>>315607484
No, TB
>>315607474
You know they tell you who your enemies are before the match begins and the shots are a different color, right? Also, did you never play Unreal Tournament? That game also did the red/blue team color thing.
>>315607256
>>315607313
>>315607527
Things that kill the game, $60 pay to play and heroes costing money.Just sell skins, fuck.
>>315607527

That's more characters than are in the beta.

>>315607906
That's still pretty bad. I think LoL gave you more heroes when they were running their $20 starter pack.
>>315607906
It's like they're retarded, why would they make a teamfortress clone, which is shittier by the way hero money/time unlocked. What a retarded company, fuck them.
>>315608123
Because people will still pay them money, and I have to wonder what it is exactly it cost them to make this if they just bought the company that made candy crush for 5.9bil. It seems at this point all they want to do is break even with their games and HotS and Hearthstone have "just enough to make a profit" written all over it.
>>315608250
Hots is dead on arrival.
Hearthstone is only popular for Yugioh nostalgia and LoL streamers playing it while finding matches
>>315607007
I would be more excited to play this game if Optimus Prime voiced the gorilla.
Fuck this game is coming out after I'll already have a shitload of new games to play. If it was coming out this year I may have given the game a shot.
Approximate release date - June 26, 2016
Widowmaker skin with Preorder.
Not sure if it's been posted here or not, though.
>>315608306
>Hearthstone is only popular for Yugioh nostalgia
You mean Magic nostalgia? Or is the Hearthstone audience really that young?
>>315608347
Approximate release date - Spring 2016*, up to June 26 2016, fix.
>>315608306
My point is that for the amount of effort they put into those games, they have made their money back and more. It seems to be the trend with these latest releases, especially With those games and the last WoW xpac.
>>315608115
The Champions bundle was 3410 RP which gave you 20 heroes for about $26

>>315608461

>>315608461
If I remember it also gave you RP to spend as well as the heroes, plus some shitty recolor skins.
>>315602369
>dead game
Better bring in the lol and dota 2 tournament guys in to a first person shooter
They fucked up with the beta. Too many people got too disappointed about not entering.
What is really asinine is that they are teasing new content to be revealed during BlizzCon as though this is already a game that a lot of people are already able to play. And some of the Blizzard idiots (not in the beta) are just eating this stuff up.
>>315608570
Back when I started playing LoL there were less than 40 hero's, and you could play all the heroes with the free hero rotation in 4 weeks. I thought it was a sweet deal, and that they would increase the free hero pool as they added more. How wrong I was.
>>315608570
Hey, not all companies have a giant fucking digital game selling platform that rakes them in more money than any of their games ever could have.
>>315608581
Nah, it just gave you Huntress Sivir
>>315608692
>made upwards of $40 Million from compendium alone

I bought the physical version that came with runes. Tier 3 runes at that level were pretty good.
>>315608995
Ah that was the Retail Collector's Edition. You know one thing I'm glad about that I'll never have to do in HotS? Grind for runes.
>>315609116
HotS just isn't stimulating for me, but I at least see the appeal.
I'm not watching it because watching some loud stupid streamers play it is not fun. I'd gladly play it, given the chance though.
>>315609116
Not the same anon, but it's been a long time since I have had to buy runes in LoL, but I still think it's bullshit that there is this grind-gate before you can become prepared for competitive/ranked, even after you his level 30.
>>315595465
So what IS the model going to be? I heard a week ago it was going to be f2p with a heavy lean towards weapons and cosmetics like TF2.
And now i'm hearing people saying it's going to be a pay to game with characters you need to buy? So what is it?
Also the way they're handling the beta is retarded.
>>315609184
I really do like it, I played League well before ranked matches were even a thing all the way up till the end of season 4. I had a lot of fun with LoL, but HotS is so much more chill. I mean, yeah you still run into the occasional assholes and retards but it's not nearly as bad and the matches are over a lot quicker.
>>315608982
It's an old d2g vs lolg joke at this point

You can't even deny that Hots is a dead game. It's just so sub par.

Great thanks blizz. real nice selection system you've got there. meanwhile I own collector's editions of every blizz game , have had a on and off wow sub since vanilla (mostly on) ahve spent about $150 on hots and hearthstone combined. I am logged in to bnet, online and active all day every day. but no, you're right the guy above will be a far better beta tester than me.
>>315609778
>blizzdrones are playing a shitty game
It never stopped them before
>>315595465
All the well known streamers who streamed overwatch are at blizzcon atm so they won't be streaming for a few days. It'll pick back up though. Idk if you guys know how twitch works but people watch for the streamer not the game mostly
>>315609861
Nice goalpost moving.
>t-t-they're not pandering, stupid sexist!!!
Yet they release statements on how they want to diversify their character roster in time with the butch pink-haired woman and also say things like "We hope you will like it".. Hmm, hope who will like it I wonder?
Seriously, stop being so delusional. Is putting minority characters in to a game SJW pandering? not really. Is making a big deal and lots of press about it pandering? Yes.

He has normal HP.
McCree is a glass cannon, he has no defensive options outside of a shit roll and can't heal or block damage. He also has shit mobility.
Literally get gud.
>>315613225
>implying you need to defend when you can frag that charlie easily
lmao
>>315613297
Yes that's what glass cannon means. Good work.
>>315613225
I have one gripe with Mccree and that is that despite having great damage at a distance he is also very lethal in close range with Flashbang and secondary.
So when you gap close him you can very well die in a second if you are careless.
And if he misses the burst he can roll to get it back.
Compare this to widowmaker where you can just shove your gorilla cock in her ass once you get up to her or bastion, torbjorn.
Mccree is very dangerous to gap close. Of course I am basing this on using Winston which doesn't have good burst and a fat ass hitbox.
Not saying he is OP, but it isn't as simple as "just rush him".
And I cannot understand how people die to high moon, do they play without sound?
>>315600883
She'd get it.

The blunder of the century is people like you whom keep comparing it with TS while it doesn't even overlap for the vast fucking majority of features dimwitted fucking dumbass motherfucker.
>>315616515
Spectre can do a decent job against Mccree depending on how he engages him.
>>315596979
TF2 is boring though.
All anyone does is run around in stupid overpriced shit talking about ponies and memes.
Yes I've tried multiple fucking servers.
I hope this game eviscerates TF2's community and siphons the playerbase out of it in Oversnatch because I'm fucking done with Valve and their lazy asses. Sure Blizz is a bunch of money grubbing assholes too but if this takes off there will finally be competition for a casual online shooter on the market which means Gabe will have to step it up and make games or good content again or watch one of their first primary sources of income besides Steam and Dota become a dusty ghost town juuuuust like Dustbowl.

Honestly I just want it to be above average. I don't care if its great, but now that tribes is dead I just want a decent multiplayer fps that I can play with friends that at least has some imagination. I can't stand CS:GO or any game with realistic weapons. It just feels so boring, I want interesting guns and shit.
Why must all good FPS have tiny communities.
