If you have to buy new characters I will not buy this game. If the keep the microtransactions to 100% cosmetic only like Dota I'll be ok with it. Otherwise I'll be reinstalling TF2 when they add competitive matchmaking.

Why do people keep saying this? Its still in Alpha we have no idea what it plans to release on if not just PC. Its gameplay is like Unreal2k4/98 which is better then anything from the Overwatch beta. I guess the difference is you have to be good to play UT.
DOOM 4 is so fucking retarded. I had alittle faith it would be okay but the faith in the mp being okay was shattered when i saw a dude take a point blank SSG shot and a melee and still survive. The damage is painfully fucking pathetic right now because of stupid ass loadouts letting people spawn with SSGs and rocket launchers so everything is dull as shit.
>>321079013
If it's minor, it isn't significant, now is it? So far I see not a single thread complaining about this on reddit, gamefaqs or anywhere else, and no streamer mentions this either, no youtube videos about it either. Sounds like another /v/ myth. Just haters that dislike the game because it isn't some helldark game like Doom 4, which /v/ loves so damn much.
Just post Tracer and/or mei smut. Its what everyone wants anyway.

The whole reason i think Siege is shit isn't of a okay game is the 30 tick movement rate and seeing kill cams where people took 3 seconds to kill when they turned the corner yet to them it was like half-1 second when they died.
Its like if a fighting game intentionally made matches lag online randomly who the fuck would want that? I still think OW looks fun and its one of the few shooters i look forward to giving a shot but kill yourself. If this remains it will be a issue that people will constantly bring up upon release.
Even normies are smart enough to see bullshit if they shoot someone and it doesn't count.
Let's post porn instead.
Only good thing to come out of this game. Also, I hope you kill yourself for christmas you blizzard shill.

I guess that seems to be the trend. OW is outdated as fuck if that is how you wanna play it. MNC/TF2/PvZ GW already did everything its doing. Its just another rush the objective shooter trying to pander to the MOBaby crowd with "unique" characters.
Oh wow cooldown abilities so deep. PvZ already did that same with MNC. Sorry the shooter genre just isn't original at all and never will gameplay wise. It was perfected with fast shooters. Then casuals like you got upset and wanted to feel like the special snowflakes you are and class based shit took over.
Class based will always be the most pretend strategy shit for shooters. Everything they can do was done by one man in older shooters but you take that individual skill ceiling and pass it around until nothing is left but a 1 inch difference between the floor and the ceiling.

Man i need to stop hanging around retards. He actually thinks its a good idea to make random shots that are connecting not register to give a advantage to melee classes. Take out reacting to them in order to pander to run up and swing scrubs.
Its gonna be great when this trash hits and i'm better then his dumb ass again since hes crap at shooters where you need to move.
This game looks like shit. Hopefully it bombs and Activision dissolves Blizzard. That would be an amazing way to start a new year, seeing this shitty publisher fucking die.
>>321080027
>Sorry the shooter genre just isn't original at all and never will gameplay wise. It was perfected with fast shooters.
No, it was perfected with military shooters that expanded the ability to actually use cover. Games like Unreal and Quake had no cover mechanics, beyond "walk behind this wall and pray you don't get shot". CoD, Gears, Halo and Battlefield enhanced and added depth to shooters.
>>321078306
>Disliking TF2 character design
>Liking OW character design
I'm all for fap material but fuck off. Its filled with edgelords and overdesigned shit trying to have a personality in a fucking mp focused shooter. TF2 characters hit the fucking mark being comical and simple and good at it. Shit like RoadHog and the faggy ass Reaper is not well designed or badass. Shit like D.va is cringeworthy as fuck. Also the smart gorilla who talks outside of DC has always been the absolute symbol of lazy random writing.
>>321079456

Maybe we don't want stupid ass looking designs in our shooters? You like goof shit so much, go play fighting games, they're full of awfully designed joke character for you to enjoy.
>>321079630
that aint no new technique what the fuck did retards just realise you could target slide into an air dash?
>>321077592
This is such over the top shilling that there's no way in hell it isn't false flag bait.
>>321080660
Gears did but not the rest. Because Gears was its own thing that basically perfected the TPS genre to a degree in 1/3.
You didn't need to take cover in Unreal or pray when you went behind a wall you move super fast and you have dash mechanics. Quake is kinda the same but railguns and insane reactions make top level play hella fucking defensive.
In older shooters you had deep advanced movement mechanics with almost no skill ceiling at all. Fights took place in the open where as people die in 2 shots and move like molasses so they take place in a game of peekaboo.
Military shooters are literally nothing but a test of basic teamwork at most and reflexes. They took two minor aspects done just as well if not better in older shooters and made them the main focus well throwing the rest to the way side.
I doubt you even played Unreal2k4/98 Doom1/2 or Quake anyways. Probably CS at most.
>>321080850

Here is the thing, people want their characters to have personality.
it starts very simple with some people prefering playing a female character over a male one.
Then you see all the cosmetic shit that they put into all fucking games from Dota to CSGO to TF2 to COD, people like having their character being VERY unique and standing out, they don't want to play a random dude with a belaclava and some body kevlar, they rather put on a sick space helmet and use a golden gun.
In TF2, the Scout simply using the term BONK added so much personality, all the characters having accents and different nationalitys. It's a good thing in a class based videogame to have some diversity.
>>321080879
I agree that this is weird as fuck, granted i'm fucking happy that i just pay 40 bucks and have everything instead of having to play 24/7 to eventually have every character in the game.It also keeps a lot of cheaters / kids out
>>321081263
FOV is fine, git gud
>>321081289
>he compares a badass design like Reaper or Genji to trash like Fang with fucked up proportions a retarded voice, and stupid looking attacks
Overwatch characters are way cooler looking than any shit fighting game design, and better animated as well. Fighting game designs are clownshoes shit, no one cares how characters look in those because the people that play them only give a fuck about tournies anyway.
>>321077932
It's sort of meta-shilling...You make an obvious shill post, others point it out, and since its obvious all discussion of shilling stops and the game being shilled is actually discussed. Not really brilliant, but effective.
Can you disable viewmodels? Because I sure like guns taking half the screen
>>321081289
Overwatch characters are stereotypes but not fucking joke characters.
most male characters are badass looking with their armor and face and stuff.
The females look "mostly" pretty hot and are pretty cool too.
It's normal powerfantasy stuff, not really "joke characters"
>>321079630
>only 1 characters is high octane fast

>>321077592
This post made me vomit at my monitor
>>321081293
For the shooter genre the most movement to a degree which would probably cap alittle before the fastest Tribes is better. Shooters are inherently a very shallow genre with very few fundamentals to master. By giving people fast movement options you give them something that always has room to master and adds a layer to depth no other thing can because fights become about reading and leading along with reflexes rather then just the latter.
Sorry you just enjoy playing slow slop where you feel yourself over basically doing nothing and calling it a "big play"
The saddest part is that companies are failing to make proper netplay for these games that go at the speed of molasses well stuff like the UT4 Alpha is optimized like a god.

Okay friend. Reaper and Genji totally are jokes the literal incarnation of "teleports behind you" and "unsheathes Katana" aren't jokes uhuh.
I mean i think the Knight is badass and i plan to play the game but cmon. The male characters look like cringeworthy versions of the stereotypes they're supposed to be. Id say about 70% of them look fine but the rest no they look like saturday morning cartoon characters.
>>321077592
>well designed maps to ensure the most fun possible
Okay OP i know the post is bait but this is just straight up infuriating.
This is a Team based shooter, yet ALL OBJECTIVES on EVERY SINGLE MAP are all at one spot, which means all 12 players will cause a giant clusterfuck at one fucking spot. There is not tactical decisions on when team have to split or anything like that. Multiple objectives at the same time would make this game so much better.
Fuck you you piece of shit, the maps are the ONE FUCKING THING ABOUT THE GAME that is BADLY DESIGNED and ruins the game
>People say its going to be skill heavy

That requires too much thought anon. Blizzard will also be too busy shilling the 20 tick rate as a good think somehow just like The Order devs shill 24fps. Its all about that downgrade acceptance so when they make their next game they need even less money to pop it out.
the shilling is real
>>321082168
How is a tick rate measured? How many times the model registers or updates per second?
I finally tried CSGO a month ago with some friends and it felt so good. It was public matches but I was destroying, way easier than expected for a first time.
I seriously hope this brings back the fun TF2 gave me before hats and drops. Seems like it is, plus, no more autism with 9 classes only with no qt waifus.
>>321082735
I never thought Raiden was cool since he first appeared that way in MGS4. So nice putting words in my mouth like everyone thinks your dumb lolsorandom shit is cool. Ninjas peaked with Ryu Hayabusa in games anyways.

IMO the problem is that it's too much like TF2. Just a ton of explosions as you go through the extremely familiar and boring game modes of cart pushing and zone capture. Sometimes, there's a turret and your team gets completely stopped at the choke for a long time (or forever) until it gets dealt with. The maps are claustrophobic and don't have much going on; honestly kind of worse than TF2 maps.
Despite all of the characters --the best part of OW is just the variety really-- it feels like I'm playing an old, tired game. Which makes sense because even though they've never been put together in quite this way, OW is just a mishmash of ideas that happen to be making money right now in vidya.
>>321077592
Fuck off shill.
>>321082972
Yeah per second, it's a serverside setting
>>321082324
No, THIS is what a joke character looks like. From a fighting game btw, and this isn't even the worst of them. Shooters have superior character designs to fighting games, because shooters aren't low budget low rent games spewed out by hack game developers who want easy cash from "the FGC"

From what I played, the only bad thing about Overwatch is the fact that ultimate abilities are basically "Press this button for free kills."

it worked in TF2 though and maps like 2fort and Turbine were pretty good. however i agree that i prefered the bigger maps but bigger maps were worse for some classes while the smaller ones made other classes worse.
i hope in the end it will be the same in Overwatch.i actually think the flying around and heavy aerial movement in overwatch kinda sucks.
>>321080879
>>321081474
They are selling it for $40 because the devs said they really didn't like their playtests where different people had different amounts of characters. In a classic moba where you are locked into a single character for an entire match its kind of ok, but in a game where you can change on the fly not having all the characters put you at a very noticeable disadvantage in almost every game.
>>321085126
Very few fighting game characters genuinely look cool. Even some of Blizz's worst shit looks better than most fighting game designs.
>>321085276
Not a single one of Bliz designs looks as good as any of the Yoshimitsus, now go fuck yourself.
>>321085260

>>321085276

>>321084036
This is what I'm hoping for. Progression system is exclusively to make you look better.
A few palette swaps, bonus in-game currency for constantly doing well with a character, then at "max" level, you unlock the option to buy a "master" skin for them, which is basically the same, but looks slightly cooler.
E.G. Reinhardt gets a bigger suit, more spikes, and some shit like that, Widowmaker gets a sexier skin suit and such. I'm not particularly sure how, but that'd be ideal, since there has been a confirmed progression system.

My assessment might be a little unfair, in that I wouldn't be tired of this feeling if I didn't play TF2 for several years. If you've never played TF2, OW will probably be a fresh enough experience for you. If you did though... bleh. After you're done exploring the roster it just ends up feeling like traveling back in time to play more of that same old game.

Fortunately I got R6 for $40 on GMG
Anyway I'm not complaining about the lack of SP, which is for filthy casuals. I just think it's silly that both games are about some elite order of heroic characters, but the gameplay consists entirely of you guys fighting yourselves. The whole scenario that they're trying to present lore-wise is totally meaningless in the face of the nonsensical game.
I get that it's maybe too hard to balance segregated "good guy vs bad guy" teams, but still you'd think they might at least make a few bad guys that we can play as?
>>321087997
I'm 28 years old. I did all of the old and new shit. The company is tanking. They don't know how to create or manage their shit anymore.
>>321088706
In Overwatch case the ingame events are literally not canon (google that shit if you care, that's what i heard anyway).
>>321088706
it doesn't bother me as much in overwatch but in Rainbow Six the defenders should have been Terrorists, they REALLY fucked up there.
In Overwatch the first cinematic trailer made Widowmaker/Reaper Evil and Tracer and Winston good.
would have been interesting if the characters would have been restricted to one side.I played R6 on free Weekend would have loved to buy it by now but no friends to play with.

this game is not going to have many players. i'm not broke or anything, i don't mind the pricetag, but if there's one thing I know about not going with the F2P model in competitive multiplayer PC games it's that they don't last long unless they manage to capture a huge crowd early on.
>>321077592
Making an overwatch thread about gameplay and not porn should be bannable
>>321089312
Battle.net users are "mostly" used to paying for their games, hell most of them pay monthly for a game they don't even enjoy.
I wish it was on steam tho.
Also it's comming to consoles too.
>>321089302
Quake 3 ran at whatever ticrate the server runner wanted. Which usually was not 20, especially in competitive scenes.
In Overwatch you have no choice.
I actually found Overwatch to be really fun during beta. The first hour or so I played I thought it was stupid and lacked depth since for some reason I thought it was meant to be a moba/ARTS. After that though I was having a blast mostly because of the large amount of character variety. It's like TF2 if you gave the characters an extra ability or two, and with twice the number of characters. That and no annoying drops/trading, because (IMO) that killed TF2 for me.
>>321089057
>because fuck people that live in rural areas or soldiers who, at the time, had to share a single satellite uplink that was slow as balls.
Pretty sure old blizz didn't give a fuck about 0.0001% of its user base as well.
It came out in 2010 if you still had a shit internet connection that's not their issue.

Let's not tell lies anon.
>>321089312
Blizzard already has an installed fanbase, they don't need to be on LoL levels of users to make money, just look at HotS.
>>321089720
It IS if you get a proportionally large amount of kills/damage. I hope they scale it up, because getting a double/triple kill using Pharah's missile barrage thing is lame, but seeing an entire team get taken out with it is pretty cool.
>>321089836
Its all about comparison, play LoL and dota2 and then play HotS.
>>321086760
>tick-rate doesn't matter
so why do CSGO tournaments use 128 and default servers use 64?
>>321089867
I remember when multiplayer shooters took skill instead of waiting to press your instakill button until when the enemy team is all in front of you.
>>321089839HotS is fun as a fuck around super casual MOBA to play with friends who dont feel like putting in the effort to learn DOTA
I enjoy it way more than playing League with them
>>321089604
I dunno. With D1 they were the one of the (if not THE) first to host a widely available free online service. They were doing a thing that was not common and it was groundbreaking at the time. Nowadays they coast on the DLC/freemium train and collect easy bucks. Absolutely no word of daring new things like they did with the original B.net. I still likeStarcraft 2but it's not hard to see they're not really the same company anymore.
>>321089720
it's not like you just "use your ult" and always get kills lol.... you have to be smart with it, use it at the right time.
I played beta and 95% of the time people would only get 1 or 2 kills with their ult, and they were assisted
>>321089989
HotS is less toxic than League and doesnt have shitty gameplay like Dota 2.
Also more teamfight action and shorter games.It's still a massive pile of shit though

>>321090260
You serious?
Overwatch is down until January/February. They took it down for one or two months, they're adding stuff onto it.
>>321090260
the beta is down until mid-late january.
Their marketing team went full retard with the way they distributed the beta
>>321090258
>autism
cool retort. so then why isn't the tick rate 60?
>>321090260
Because if I recall correctly, 2 things:
1, the game is interesting to watch for about half an hour and that's it, much more fun to play.
2, the Beta is down for an extended period until new years or something.
>>321090027

This pretty much sums up why I don't understand streaming popularity.
Oh look an Overwatch thread. I'll just save everyone some time:

Every time.
>>321089604
Do you realize that it's been half a decade since then and over half of America still doesn't have access to what the rest of the developed world considers broadband? It's much more than .001% of their potential customer base. You'd think the shit sales of StarCraft 2 compared to 1 would let that fact speak for itself.

Very cool. What stops the tick rate from being 60?

>>321089839
HotS was a cool game but it doesn't have long-lasting potential.
As someone who's been playing Blizz games since Warcraft 1 I will probably skip on Overwatch until I see it's got a big audience. It does seem like a solid team shooter game.
>>321090424

>sitting in front of a large group of kids while seeing Star Wars with some people on opening night

>They all start talking about how cool it looks and how they can't wait for it to come out
I already played the beta and pre-ordered because I had so much fun, I haven't pre-ordered something in fucking years. My logic is that if the beta in it's current state was so good, it'd definitely be more than worth the price at launch. Free maps and heroes made me feel even more validated.
It's going to be so funny when Overwatch is a huge success and /v/ keeps crying salty tears of impotent rage.
>>321090756
While he is a shill,
>>321091084
$40 isn't a lot. Especially if they somehow manage to not fuck it up post-launch, which as time goes on, looks more and more likely.I'm still going to wait until the day before to even think about buying it, solely because it's still Blizz.
>>321090804
But they will. Theres a creature called blizzdrone, and im not accusing anyone who will play overwatch of being one. But if you look at some streamer personalities theyre so elitist and cant take anything but blizzard dick up their mouths.
They never played a moba, but when blizzard shits one out, they jump on it. Just because its blizzard.
So blizzard already has a small drone army that will pay for anything blizzard makes by default.
That said, the game looks cool, waiting for animations to come out.

Blizzards betas are normally spot on.
And i find it hard to believe people will think overwatch will fail, It has one competitor which is TF2 and that has near no marketing and slow content updates.
>>321091409
Blizzard produces quality games, hence the drones. This is the same company that when every other mmo had shit clunky movement, Blizzard created WoW with smooth, fluidly animated movement that was buttery smooth. Controlling a character in a Blizzard game is like that feeling you get when you slide your dick slowly into a tight, dripping wet pussy. It's like heaven.

>>321092306
>No secondary objectives
>Respawn distance combined with slow movement is hell
This is what worries me about this game, it looks slower than dirty bomb and the maps look too small. Just obvious chokepoints and too much dressing to make the alternative pathways seem worthwhile.

>Level design is pretty shitty, most of them are just standard maps you can find anywhere with 2-3 decorations tossed it to give it a shitty theme
Eh. Gibraltar and Hollywood both are pretty well made with a lot of varied terrain. Dorado's a good tight map. The others are fairly solid aside from Volskaya and Hanamura.
>Characters are unbalanced as hell as per the course with Blizzard
Wat
Mercy is OP due to her ult (and getting ult tweaks), Pharah's slightly OP. Beyond that it's pretty solid aside from Bastion and Torbjorn which are getting reworked because new players get wrecked and experienced ones demolish them. All other heroes are pretty balanced.
>Respawn distance combined with slow movement is hell
It moves faster than most FPS games around right now. Spawn distances are long unless you have Lucio/Symmetra and serve to keep characters with mobility more relevant.
>No secondary objectives on the maps so you will especially bored of them since its always fight over the point/flag and no powerups/items or anything to fight over
It's 6v6 with an emphasis on teamplay and group fighting. No shit there's no secondary objectives. Splitting people up more than a few alternate routes is unnecessary.
>Aim assist out the ass
Wat. The shooting has no aim assist. Certain ultimates and abilities don't require aiming but have incredibly clear audio tells.
>Matchmaking takes nearly 10 minutes to start a new fucking game even when you have a full lobby
Limited beta and it's pretty brutal on stacks. Usually when there's a new wave of people matchmaking gets slow, then picks up over time. Irrelevant unless it continues until release.
>>321093608

>Characters are unbalanced as hell as per the course with Blizzard
the balance is pretty fucking good, the only character that seriously needs work is Bastion. You're probably just a shitter that doesn't get the game.
>Respawn distance combined with slow movement is hell
This I can agree with, I guess the logic was that it increased the importance of Symmetra's teleporter but it's annoying none the less
>No secondary objectives on the maps so you will especially bored of them since its always fight over the point/flag and no powerups/items or anything to fight over
What? Are you expecting Dirty Bomb/Enemy Territory or something? Games like TF2 and Quake don't have secondary objectives either.
>Aim assist out the ass
Again, what do you even mean by this? I never found this to be the case.
>Matchmaking takes nearly 10 minutes to start a new fucking game even when you have a full lobby
merely a symptom of being a beta
>>321094452
>splitting people up is unnecessary
why? this is an fps not a moba
from what ive seen in tournaments the "death ball" gameplay doesn't look fun at all, and thats what the game will become.
I played beta and enjoyed it but I can tell, over time it will turn into meta deathball garbage.
>>321093852
you were watching them? Or just saw and assumed?
I'm kinda interested in the game but I'm not confident I'll enjoy it. Is there like a trial or demo or something?

TF2, Paladins(lol) maybe a little bit of Battleborn.
but mostly TF2.
it's a classbased First person shooter.
you have Tanky guys, fast guys, healing guys, turret guys etc.
you defend / attack a point of interest
after time runs out / Attacker complete the objective you swap sides and see if you can do it faster.

They always do.
>>321094452
>>321094550
>Matchmaking only takes forever because of beta
Bullshit faggots Im talking about even with a full lobby.
After a game ends you have to watch the play of the game, then the voting phase which is 2 minutes, then a minute or two for the match to be set up, then a minute for everyone to pick characters, then a final minute until the match starts.
You could easily shave that down by placing character selection during any other part of the waiting to speed it up.
The the beta forums were literally filled with people complaining about people using third party aim assists and Kaplan after the beta was over saying they will "look into it".
>>321095472
Hm, sounds like I might enjoy it so I'll give it a shot.
DLC is free except for skins right? That's good. I just hope they don't start charging for better weapons later on though...
>>321095009
>why? this is an fps not a moba
why do they all have to play the same in your mind?
Overwatch isn't a MOBA or even a wannabe MOBA, it's something entirely different. It has elements that were clearly influenced by MOBAs though.
"death balls" are effective but easily broken. Characters like bastion, reinhardt, mei, and reaper (among others) can easily break up "death balls."
The game doesn't play like TF2 because a lot of the characters are almost helpless while alone.
