>>320328914
Played the beta, it's down now. It's mediocre in ways only Blizzard can manage. There's great production value, animation, art and sound design are all tops. Game itself is pretty meh. There's just something about the hit detection and how most of the champions are balanced that just feels wrong. The e-sports people pretty much only run offense with some healers. There's no reason to play anything involving static defense because genji will fuck it up, and there's no reason to play a tank because mcree or hanzo will fuck it up. Hanzo has a ricochet attack that can do 600 damage, and the tanks have 500. Tanks also have big fucking heads/critspots.
It wants to be the 'team' game but all that really happens is you all ult the same spot and it just felt like a giant clusterfuck.
>>320331127
Ah, sounds disappointing. Guess I'll stick to TF2
>>320328914
No, most games are centered around Mcree, Soldier 76 and Hanzo killing everyone while both teams farm ultimates.

NOOOO
No but I want widowmaker to fart on my face
Have roughly 35 hours in the beta. I loved it, had tons of fun with it. I'll be buying it on release. However, don't mistake me for saying that the game is 10/10 or anything - I just know I'll be putting a lot of time into it. it has the " One more game syndrome" down pat, and the gameplay is great. Each character feels like playing a different style of game as it should, and so far blizzard seems to be taking it on the right path.

It's not about "enjoying" games. It's about having an experience, good or bad. Show some fucking respect.
>>320331127
It won't be esports. They have the netcode such that it is generous to people with shit ping. That is why you say there is something about the hit detection. It's by design. I also can't play it because of that. Just too frustrating dying around corners on a consistent basis.

They purposefully made it casual as fuck, and in doing so they destroyed any chance they had at making a game that would attract a core fanbase and esports.
no depth or real strategies or anything like that. Game favors shit players with poor pings via netcode, almost every class has a "press button to get a guaranteed kill or two" so that even the shittiest of player can feel like they are doing something every once and awhile
they've also fucked up by making it b2p, however IMO it is a very good thing as it raises the barrier of entry just a bit.
it will still be a microtransaction/cosmetic packed cancer casual shitfest

They caved and added one, though
>>320335759
Games like Battlefront fail while games like CS:GO and TF2 thrive. Because they are well crafted games that don't skimp out on challenge and content, like every ActiBlizzard game does.

That's like eating your steak before it goes to oven,and compaining that is's raw/
>>320335954
You know how in an FPS when you go behind a wall but get shot anyway? That's because the tickrate is low. So Overwatch's shitty tickrate completely negates any skill with luck in the shitty latency.
>>320336010
Blizzard doesn't understand things like logic. If they don't like it, it's flawed and doesn't deserve to be in their masterpiece (of shit) of a game. Things like FoV are TOXIC, as are K/D for their not-dota ASSFAGGOT that is, by the way, dead as shit.

>>320335768
What this guy said
>>320335879
The FoV was locked to 60.
They originally said that FoV created an extra level of difficulty for people who were unaware of what FoV is. Here's a quote "there are no plans at this time to implement an FOV slider to the game. The rationale here is that we want to avoid creating a situation of "Haves and Have-Nots," where those who are aware of the slider are able to gain an advantage over those who aren't. Instead, we'd rather develop towards a unified FOV that feels good across the board. Aiming preferences, viewmodels, dizziness, nausea—these are all factors we considered when designing the current FOV and will remain sensitive and very open to as testing continues."
They eventually dropped this stance because people called bullshit on that.
>>320336276
>What are Team Fortress 2 and Counter Strike
The best in the genre as well as the most popular? Valve leads the industry with the best games in their respective genre's like Dota 2. Don't understand your point.
>>320336010
>but... anyone can use it? I don't get it
Their reasoning was that some players didn't know it was there so the ones who did have an unfair advantage. They are pretty much thinking their customers are drooling morons, which honestly isn't too far from the truth considering their current fanbase.
>>320336058
it's blizzard
also you seem new to video games, "beta" no longer actually means "beta" and hasn't for years. A "beta" is now a demo that they can use the excuse of "i-it's not finished"
>>320336280
>>320336542
>FoV created an extra level of difficulty for people who were unaware of what FoV is
hahaha holy shit
this industry is so fucking casual geared it's scary. Next big thing will be a mode that plays the game for you while you watch because having to actually play the game yourself creates a situation of "shit and not shit"
like how are these the people who loved videogames enough to get degrees and jobs for making them? sounds like they've never actually played any sort of competitive video game before
>>320336417
People whale on it like there no tomorrow, being popular isn't a justification to spend untold amounts of money on it.
>caring about tickrate when Quake Live was 30 tick
fast shooters with largely non-hitscan weapons don't need high ticks
>>320336729
People spend untold amounts of money on cosmetics, which don't affect gameplay. Can the same be said about Hearthstone or HotS?
>>320336717

>>320336812
>all games are created equal

Why? Siege does it too and it ruins that game as well.
But what is the reason for doing it? It must be for saving money or something.
>>320336912
Did you not read my post?
Only retarded drones still buy or give a rats ass about Blizzard games.
>>320336894
Spending on a videogame is the same, no matter if it affect gameplay or is just cosmetics, at some point the amount of money spent is gonna feel absurd.
>>320337454
Abandoning of dedicated servers leaves server costs at the hands of the devs, unless they implement p2p. The more bandwidth a server uses the more expensive it tends to be.
>>320337697
The game is good, if people want to spend money to support a game they like A GOOD GAME to boot, then that's fine.
Blizzard doesn't make games, just jew cash grabs.
>>320337809
So why not cut out the middle man and let players host their own dedicated servers

Doesn't much different from current Valve.
>The game is good, if people want to spend money to support a game they like A GOOD GAME to boot, then that's fine.
Those Blizzard are good games, to someone at least, they're gonna spend money, if you think CS and TF2 are somewhat morally or ultimately better to spend money on, for whatever reason, it's not going to look any different from an outsider's point of view. It's just people spending absurd amount of money on a videogame.
>>320338665
Valve doesn't charge money for GAME CHANGING ELEMENTS. That's the big thing.
Blizzard does, that makes them kikes.
You can cry all you want about retards blowing money, but with Steam games you can MAKE money off whales. Can't do that with Blizzshit titles. You can sell all the bullshit you buy and make some money back from Dota 2, CS:GO or TF2 if it bothers you that much. With Blizzard they keep all your shekels because they know you are a good goyim who won't think twice.
>>320335882
>Games like Battlefront fail while games like CS:GO and TF2 thrive.
>FPS players aren't the same mindless whales as MMO or CCG players. They actually have standards.
But that just proves your point is wrong, TF2 (now) and CS:GO are pretty much casualized to the point of no return. The biggest reason they are so popular is because of Valves' genius market strategists. Casuals love cosmetics and even more so when they can actually get money from them - You can buy CS:GO and get your money back pretty easily by selling some random drop skins. Especially Russians love free stuff hence why both games playerbases are 50-60% Russian
I... just want to play the game once to see Widowmaker's glorious ass.
>>320338878
>Valve doesn't charge money for GAME CHANGING ELEMENTS. That's the big thing.

Forgot, Valve makes money off other people's work. It's much better.

If you want to feel righteous for gouging morons while Valve sit back and take a cut without doing shit, so be it.
>>320338610
Because... FPS players are mindless whales?
Wow, almost like that's what I was implying!
>>320338938
Maybe if Blizzard had genius strategists they wouldn't be so fucking deep in shit. Overwatch is going to fucking flop because the game won't have any insentive to play past the few mindless game modes they have, just like Battlefront.
Valve can milk their playerbase, but it keeps their games alive. TF2 may be considered casual, but Overwatch is fucking retarded in comparison.
>>320331127
I got into the beta on day 1. You couldn't be more wrong about "hurr durr espurts" balance.
reinhardt is a guaranteed pick nearly every round, the current NA scene meta favors a 2/2/2 comp. Genji has seen some play but only excels when paired with a Zen orb and an uncoordinated team backline.

True. Overwatch was hugely anticipated up until the point they gave beta access only to streamers and revealed that the game would be full price. Everyone expected the game to be f2p because there's no reason for it not to be when there are much better alternatives out there for free.
My point being that Overwatch's blunder isn't so much about the actual gameplay but more because their management is so out of touch with the industry. Mind you this is the company that is selling level boosting in WoW for 60 fucking dollaridoos and heroes in their MOBA game for 10 dollars a piece
Why you gotta make it hot anon
>>320336212
I'm the last person that would ever defend a moba, but I do believe they recently split up the kills and assist in Heroes.
As for it being dead as shit, no idea. They're apparently still making profit though.
Honestly, the only reason I ever gave Heroes the time of day was due to knowing the majority of the characters. Despite their recent games being butchered versions of their past selves.
Post more widow butt.
>>320331127
>literally only one tank designed to stand around and take damage
>hurr thats how all tanks are played im in the beta guys serious
just because you get shit on by a genji doesnt mean ANYONE else does.
and genji cant hit symmetra's turrets for shit, he'd need to spend like 30 seconds throwing his entire clip of throwing stars at each indivitual turret, fuck off. Symmetra is a 100% genji counter.
>>320340172
the fact that you think selling level 60 boosts is a "bad" thing for this current "industry" means you dont actually know a damn thing you're saying.
The boosts were so well received that Destiny immediately did theirs and every future mmo will follow suit or get lost in obscurity.

So you actually would prefer to pay to skip content? I don't know how the fuck that could be anything but a bad thing, it's like going to the cinema late and paying 40 dollars just to see the last 30 minutes

i'd hate to blizzshill but at the time that they said they werent going to change the FOV there were two characters, McCree and Soldier 76, who used the FOV of a player's screen as their ultimate attack.
One guy targeted everyone in view and instakilled them after 3 seconds
And the other guy turned on an aimbot that would shoot at everyone on the screen
to this day the defense vs those attacks are "get out of sight"
however, after getting a fuckload of feedback they reworked both abilities so that now they work on an area around the crosshair and not just the FOV.
but shhhh dont tell anyone, blizzard is terrible.
