Blizzard is paying marketers to hype the game up on 4chan/Reddit as usual.

I just keep scratching my head and ask, did anyone see what they've done with SC2? Diablo 3? Hearthstone? WoW?

But OH BOY, I BET THIS ONE WILL BE DIFFERENT.

I can't wait for the game to crash and burn.

Blizzard does not deserve any support from customers after how they treat them at this point.

Hearthstone was a big hit though. You should've said HoTS.

MOBA + TF2, it's more team-oriented than TF2 so it actually requires some coordination if you don't want to get fucked.

Actually, if you pick the more advanced characters and are skilled you can destroy teams all by yourself.

That said, the game is more casual at the same time with certain characters such as Soldier 76, who straight up gets an aimbot ability which puts a giant fucking circle on your screen and you just have to face enemies to kill them.

Well, I haven't played it yet and judging from what I've heard about it from everyone I hang out with who can vouch for it and say it's pretty good, I'm going to go ahead and play it anyways. Blizzard has no doubt been some of the biggest cucks I've seen as of late but I still would like to play Overwatch to see if it lives up to the hype myself. Besides, I loved TF2 as much as the next guy so I'm hoping that this will be a pretty nice replacement for it.

timeline

week 1: game release tons of fun
week 2: exploits discovered, cheaters crack codes, Everyone figures out how to unbalance the game
week 3-4: full damage control from devs, maybe a patch to work on cheaters and balance
week 5: Normies figure out games just grindy as fuck and repetitive.. massive player drop.
week 6: only autistis still playing the game and they criticize everyone and anyone they play with driving off remaining player base and new players.
week 7-onward: DLC to draw more players but autists will drive them a way. The game will then decay into obscurity.

Why do you want it to fail?

Yes they are pumping it up to be more than it is. For what it is it should be a 40$ game.
>Or are you just hoping it will fail because the game is not to your taste?
I hope it fails so this sub genre can quickly die, stop over saturating my news feeds and devs can get back to making games that have potential in stead of flavors of the month.

Here's the thing: Blizzard knows how to market a game and draw people in. Overwatch was pretty much made to be an e-sport title, mostly for the PC. That's why its only $40 for PC gamers.

Now when you look at Battleborn, you look at a game that is trying super hard to be an E-Sport game, getting absolutely no marketing at all and very little hype

>this fucking deflection
Holy shit. Don't try and deflect with quality doesn't matter only money made bullshit or but what even is a good game crap. Seriously go ahead please try and name a single good game made by modern blizzard. But this one is different right? This is the one game made by neo blizzardvision that is good right?
>>
>Game has 20+ characters
>only 12 maps across 3+1/2 game modes (3 maps per game mode)

It'll perform as well as every other modern blizzard game in that it'll be dead by Christmas. Between map boredom and what will probably be bad balance, you won't want to play for long.

>>
>>336257565
Yeah because this is the first game to have a closed beta right?

They needed to test shit before releasing it to the masses just like every other game that goes through a closed beta period. Difference here is the game is actually good and people wanted to get in so bad they created more hype around it than closed betas for other games usually do. So your attempt at a negative point actually ends up being another positive for it and you're too ignorant to realize it.

Public betas are actually a great way to uncover bugs. As someone who playtested games, there's just too many fucking scenarios a small team of dedicated testers do not have time to test in modern AAA games.

Kinda.

If you've ever been in QA, they'll tell you the following:

>100 Testers X 8 hours a day X 365 days = 292,000 testing hours

>1,000,000 users X 2 hours a day x 30 days = 60,000,000 testing hours

And when it comes to handling people's money/making sure the company can MAKE money, you better be sure that shit works and can't be abused.

>>
>>336265724
Yes. Are you implying that Overwatch is going to sell at all on consoles? Even the PC market is split on liking it or not, even biggest Blizzard fanboys because its not anything like other Blizzard games.

The biggest exclusive, on the fastest selling console of all time, in a franchise 9 years old, with the biggest marketing Sony has ever done, versus a new IP by a company that never made a shooter before and hasn't made a console game in nearly 2 decades.

Literally everything sells on the PS4.

Wow blizzard confirmed it?

Boy oh boy I can't wait to spend 60 dollars on the game then and buy all the DLC.

Remember when blizz said they'd never put microtransactions in WoW?

Remember when blizz said MoP would go back to "TBC Difficulty design"?

Remember when blizz said Diablo 3 would stay true to its roots?

Thank god since blizz confirmed it this time, we know we can trust them.

I can't wait to spend all that extra money on dlc!!!!

I love dlc so much!

Yeah, that's because there has been literally nothing on it worth of noting this year. Of course people will buy it. But saying that it will sell more than a game that is multiplat is a bit far fetched.

I don't think you understand, the special edition lets you into the beta, gets you skins, and unlocks 2 additional upcoming heroes.

If you wanna know the truth, its because I'm white.

Companies over here in America try to fill a "diversity" quota for PR purposes. If you aren't crippled, Black, Hispanic, or a Veteran, you aren't getting a job.

It doesn't help that the only people that do EE are Whites and Asians. My friend who I met in the EE program is Asian and is a bit smarter than me, he still hasn't found a job.

The hardest part is always getting your foot in the door anywhere.
