Now that the dust has settled, what went wrong?
It's a little thin. Not just in maps or game modes, but also in character and charm. For a game Blizzard billed as character focused it sure doesn't have many character lines.
>>337153214
Ultimates feel very lackluster and too many chokepoints. Game also focuses too much on flank action with a small amount of team action/play going on. Characters feel very underwhelming to play only one or two I have played have actually felt like they do things mainly Road Hog and Soldier 76.

>too many chokepoints.
I understand this sentiment, but I also think that chokepoints are necessary to make heroes with extra mobility like Pharah more useful. There's always more than one path on ground level and always three or more if you go higher.
That being said, I wish more heroes had better mobility utilities. Making this game more vertical oriented would go a long way to giving it more depth.
>>337153214
Where's the fucking meat?
I don't give a shit about how "polished" it might be, this game is going to die like Evolve because it has no goddamn content.
You want to know what the real reason was that TF2 actually had staying power? Yes, partly it was Valve owning a monopoly on the PC marketplace but what CEMENTED it more than fucking HL2 deathmatch was the modding community.
It was the defining characteristic of EVERY successful arena shooter.
This has fucking nothing.

I seriously cannot see this lasting very long even if Blizzard promises to update it in the future with more content. Especially with a $40 price tag.
I want Widowmaker to break out of her conditioning at some point.

You do realize this is a desperate anon that wants some kind of launch event and not Blizzard themselves, right?
My issue with it is that the gameplay feels very controlled and pre-determined. The focus around the skills largely means there aren't any really advanced techniques you can learn. There's nothing like rocket jumping, scout movement techniques, or bunny hopping because everything is pre-planned "you will use your skills to do anything mildly interesting and your weapons will only be used to hurt people."
Essentially the focus around skills made the gameplay feel very shallow with the depth mainly coming from team composition.

At least it has your waifus with 7 total voice lines you hear over and over through the course of a match for that blizzard polish right
If anything the real shame is that theres lots of potential in the framework for a cool game with depth that can rival something like tf2 and I wouldn't even mind having something else to scratch that itch if it didn't feel so hamfisted and cheap
I'm disappointed with this game. I will surely not be picking up this game when the release comes around. The game barely has any conent and after 6 hours of the game, you would of played every map and character as well as use their ult. I felt as if Blizzard focused too much of the characters more than the actual game itself. Definetly not worth the $40 but if it goes to $15 the. MAYBE I'll pay for it. But for now if I want something that gives me Gameplay, I'll play TF2 instead.

well than they fucked up. their not selling each part of an outfit as individual piece and creating a market where they get a cut from every transaction.
but it's blizzard and they know they can sell reskinned costumes for 40$ and retards will lap that shit up thanking blizzard the whole time.
>>337156068
Pharah does have rocket jumping, though.
It's a little useless since it doesn't lift you high enough and takes too much hp, but it's there.
>>337158369
>Bandwagon fallacy
Enjoy your $40 game for $60.
>>337154934
How is blizzards stance with mods in other games anyway?
I can't imagine they are too happy about them since they missed the DOTA train.
>>337158308
funny that we never saw these COMPETITIVE servers in the beta
>>337159326
Well, considering how you didn't see the competitive format either, maybe you're just a retard.
>>337159052
They hate MODs. They only allow mods for SC2 because that was a dying game. They thought it would be an E-sport forever but hype fell off fast with the rise of Dota2/LoL.
Diablo2 had a bunch of modders but blizzard never ever acknowledged them even though they were very knowledgeable (albeit, the guy who made Median was a giant dick gargling tool) about the game.
They obviously abhor WoW modders and want to monetize any content created by third parties.
They could have owned DotA for example but completely ignored it even though it was an extremely popular Warcraft 3 mod for years.
>>337158962
That's not the bandwagon fallacy. By saying it's 40 dollars, you're ignoring the fact that there is a very significant portion of the game's audience that can't get it for less than 60. What your doing is like if I said "It's free if you pirate it, so complaining about cost is pointless."

It's shilling for himself. I highly doubt Blizzard cares where its marketing goes since there are a lot more popular places vying for the spot that guy's trying to get.
>>337158302
well they almost got me if it wasn't for that pricetag
>>337160249
I'd buy the game at $30, but for some reason I ain't making the push to $40.
Too much flanking spots coupled with no ability to "mark" an enemy (like in tribes), makes this game even more frustrating to play in pubs than dota.
This is, by far, the most infuriating FPS I've ever played (in pubs). Because you need to rely on your team to win, and you lack the tools to notify them.
Unfortunately I don't have enough friends to play a full dedicated team of OW with, the game just isn't fun when the cancer team just walks the front route and never once turns around. So I think it's not for me. But the game is of high quality, and the content/price ratio would be completely justified if neo-blizzard weren't control freaks and included mods/customization options.

you mean like a microphone? jesus fuck anon, are you even trying?
>>337160596
I bought the game solely because a lot of the people I play TF2 with are, like me, just getting tired of the game and want to do something new. That said, I absolutely cannot stand to play it in a pub setting. Relying on 5 other random fuckers to cobble together a good team is painful and absolutely no fun. It's an easy cop out to say "oh but it's fun with friends!" because everything is fun with friends, but I can see how this'll end up flopping because of how annoying it is to play on your own.
The question I have, will die or will blizzdrones, casuals, tumblr, gamer gurls and Blizzard's e-sporst money keep it alive?
>>337161418
It'll zombie along with the porn and Blizzard's esport money dragging it along, but I can't see it taking off until the inevitable move to F2P or a huge content buff.
I find it very enjoyable with friends, so I'll be playing it at launch with them. Pubs have been a mixed bag, mostly horrible but there's been one or two games where people coordinated and communicated well.
I hope they come out with content regularly, I feel like it could do with some more maps, maybe an extra game mode or two.
>>337161040
>you mean like a microphone?
>This faggot has never played DotA and tried to communicate with your retarded/peruvian teammates.
Mic communication only makes it worse since it most idiots happen to also be stubborn/autistic in their, "If I smash my head against a wall enough times maybe something different will happen other than me hurting my head!" strategy.
>>337163218
I've noticed that half the time there's only 2 or 3 people in the team voice comm anyway. What's up with that? Do people turn it off?
>>337153718
It's billed as character focused so Metzen isn't out of a job
>>337161040
How do you notify a pub team about a flank, with voice chat, before they have already killed the entire team?
Please think about this for a second.
Voicechat notifcation only works for those who already know the map and know your class/voice and where you would be depending on your role.
For pubs, only manual marking would work.

Did i get masterbaited?
I had a shitload of fun aside from having AFK people the entire game who just sat at character selection. Why wasn't their an idle boot system? Also the teammates that would all pick into offensive characters and we would get absolutely shit on because they couldn't do anything. Fuck the groups that would all go Genji, that shit happened way too often. Even worse, they couldn't even get rid of a Bastion.
