Are you buying Overwatch™?
http://www.strawpoll.me/10191840
Maybe.
I don't know.
>>337346025
Can you repeat the question?
>>337346025
Maybe
>>337346025
Fuck off with your shilling
probably not. not because I don't like the game or anything but because I don't need this game in my life when I already have a huge-ass backlog, a life to sort, and TF2.
>>337346337
Shill should be an autoban word.
>>337346243
Are you buying Activision Blizzard's new class based casual fps and ip, Overwatch™?
No because it's 40 fucking € for a TF2.
I might if it had fucking servers and deatmatch.
Also WoW is shit so fuck you blizzard
>>337346025
No.
>>337346025
Basically every thread has been 50/50 on votes for yes/no on overwatch buying. im genuinely surprised. I cant tell if it is some sort of vote manipulation or 50% of /v/ actually IS getting overwatch, that's a staggering amount of people
I enjoyed open beta too much, so... yeah.
I had the way more fun with this than I have with any other game latelyIm building a PC for this
>>337346636
What did you expect, this board is full of waifufags and casuals pretending to be hardcore.
I'll buy Origin Edition with Amazon Prime that go for 48 bux.
>>337347813
>paying 8$ extra for skins
Smh
>>337347596
pro tip people play what they enjoy , no 1 fucking cares if a game is hardcore but boring or shit.
>>337348029
Polls on /v/ are usually really clearcut
Im just surprised that it's so 50/50 for overwatch. It's basically never been this way, which makes me think shilling/vote manipulation
>>337348350
As if that poll is even comparable, everyone fucking knows DaS2 is the worst
>Want the PC disc version
>Only comes as the Origins edition
>Don't want to pay them extra for fucking skins
I would pay a little extra for it on disc, but not $20 more holy jhit
>>337348350
Well I can tell you right now I know myself and 3 other guys with who I played on steam and they all bought Overwatch after the open beta.
>>337348617
fools
I wanna play more Roadhog.
>>337348350
Yes or perhaps, maybe just maybe. I know this is crazy but stick with me here.
Maybe people enjoyed it?
>>337346353
>>337346549
>tf2
I won't act like I've got thousands of hours on tf2 like some people around here do, but having played both games I really don't understand why people think they're just the same game.
Overwatch has
>smaller teams
>no unlockable weapons
>characters that do things tf2 characters don't (although there is some overlap and no spy character for example)
>multiple tanks and healers with different play styles compared to tf2's one heavy and one medic
>extra movement styles i.e. wall climbing, wall grinding, boosts, jump jets (which I guess are comparable to rocket jumping)
Anyway, you get my point. Whether or not all of this stuff is actually better is a matter of opinion but I don't see how people think they're the same.
>>337346476
>Missing the point that much.
Its also surprisingly populated on Consoles too, not so much as PC, but enough for a lsting player base, until the next shooter comes out I guess.
>>337346025
I'm buying it, but unless they raise the skill ceiling, it will not last long.
I don't care what faggots on /v/ think about this game. All I see is hate for it, yet every other topic is about the game. It's obviously well received by a lot of people. Either way, I don't really give a shit - the game got me to quit playing CS:GO and actually have fun playing video games again. I don't care if it's casual, or if it's "a TF2 clone" it's FUN.
>>337346549
>>337348950
They're rather similiar, but we've had already 9 years (5 years for free) to play TF2. I think it's time to move on.
>>337346151
Perfect, but can someone shoop dota 2 abilities over their heads in the second panel?
>>337346151
/thread
>>337348950
Excepting everything that could be good in Overwatch is either locked behind a cooldown or has an alternative making the actual method useless (rocket jump of pharrah). The skill ceiling is sadly very low individually compared to TF2. You can't be versatile at all in Overwatch, and there's no cool alternatives for a class. TF2 with the loadouts has many more possibilities than Overwatch. Playing with the shovel doing while rocketjumping has nothing to do with playing with the parachute and the liberty launcher, and is also different from playing with the vanilla rocket launcher or the Black box.
Every class has more than 3 meaningful combinations in TF2.
Fuck off Blizzard shill
>>337349191
Well, it may be true that TF2 has been out for 9 years but people have been playing Counter Strike much longer and people are still buying/playing games like Counter Strike.
>>337346025
Probably.
>>337349496
I can see your point but I get the impression you would agree that the games are different, even if you don't like one of them.
>>337349136
It's not really like tf2 outside of there's a payload game mode and there's a ctf game mode and torb makes level 3 sentries
It's a dumb comparison to make.
TF2 is designed deliberately with fun and depth in mind, Overwatch was designed deliberately with no depth and fun in mind.
People see a soldier or demo fly out of the sky and kill them, moving 200 mph. It's discouraging.
Blizzard wants everyone to have fun from the start, Valve wants everyone to take the time to learn how to be that soldier.
NO should have been divided into 2 categories:
- No because I don't like it / don't care
- No because I am a poorfag
I am guessing those NO are coming mostly from pirate poorfags.
>>337349767
I don't dislike it. I just think it is going to get boring quite fast. It is going to be a game that will catch the casual and have LoL vibe. Mindless fun but getting old fast.
>>337350224
>he's not buying a Blizzard game
>he must be poor
When will this meme end?
>>337346476
>either not getting the joke, or being such a sad fuck that you just ignore it
Mate.
ITT: It's casual because the controls are accessible to anyone
Smash and LOL are casual as fuck yet we have tourneys and events bigger than "hardcore" TF2 will ever have.
Give someone a simplistic "anything" and they can get really good at it.
Just check how this was done with just a bunch of shapes since Forza does not have a painintg tool.
>>337349496
It is very true that loadouts in TF2 add a lot of variety to the game, but it also adds a layer of uncertainty to the gameplay. When you see a spy in TF2 you have no god damned idea what his loadout is and what he could be doing. Is he using the dead ringer? Is he using your eternal reward? You have no idea, and there is no way to play around everything all at once. Some people like this concept, and having played well over 1000 hours of TF2 i certainly dont hate it, but it doesnt lend itself very well to a game thats trying to bill itself as competetive. On Overwatch when you see a McCree you know exactly what he can do and he knows exactly what you can do which at least puts both people on equal footing from a knowledge perspective.
Idk, i dont disagree with anything you said in your post really, but all the same i see value in characters being static.
>>337350409
Didn't even brought Blizzard to the conversation but whatever.
You need to hone those common sense skills though.
>>337350224
>No because im a poorfag
Noone would admit to that answer even if noone else can see their response
There's no reason to have 2 no responses and 1 yes response.
Maybe it would be ok if
>Yes, because tits and ass
>yes because game is fun
>no because i dont like it/dont care
>no because im poor
But it's unnecessary, considering the only metric we care about is if people are buying the game or not. We dont really care about what kinds of people are buying it, or what sorts arent buying it.
>>337346025
BETTER POLL
http://www.strawpoll.me/10192349
I bought it last night actually.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and missed it after the beta ended so I had no choice.
>>337350109
>Valve wants everyone to take the time to learn how to be that soldier.
no, valve made "Smash Melee: the shooter", a game that was designed to be as casual as casual can be but ended up having an accidentally high skill cap. The fact that valve took 9 years to add a ranked mode means they dont give a shit about you being that soldier, they never really inteded for anyone to be that soldier, it just sort of happened.
>>337350776
A lot of people are buying it for the tits and ass alone though. Should be valid as well.
>>337346025
There should be a "I'm waiting for a sale/More content" option
>>337350759
... but Overwatch is, in fact a Blizzard game.
And there are people out there with tons of money not buying it because it's a Blizzard game.
Being a fucking retard and trying to act smart isn't going to work out for you in the long run, friend. Use some fucking context clues you dumb fuck.
>>337346025
These threads are posted way too much. I dont see anything comedic about these threads
"lol cute but fat girl"
"lol whos buying this stupid game lmao"
Ive never seen more try hard shilling in my life. Blizzard really wants this game to sell. Bravo
>>337351103
It could be possible that the threads are being made by shills, but the ton of replies in each and every thread are certainly not. T
>>337348350
Overwatch seemed like one of those good but not great games. I had fun in the beta but nothing really grabbed me so I probably won't buy it.
Honestly I wanted to buy Battleborn because it looks like there is more content, but all my friends are going Overwatch. I am so conflicted because a game is always infintely better with friends, but Battleborn has itemization and pve content.
Though Overwatch seems to have better class characters in general. I guess I will probably buy it, mainly because of friends, and as much as I hate Blizzard these days, I know they usually release a crisp if not lacking in features content.
>>337350109
> TF2 is designed deliberately with fun and depth in mind, Overwatch was designed deliberately with no depth and fun in mind.
So basically Overwatch is fun at its core?
No wonder why it's successful.
>>337351314
Sounds good to me. What other reason is there to even play games?
>>337350224
how about
- No, because it's not worth 40 fucking dollars and if it was 20 dollars i might consider it and if it was 10 dollars i'd most likely buy it
>>337346025
would buy if it was $20, like most other people who voted no
>>337351084
Yeah but you're clearly making it look like I am somehow talking about Blizzard as a whole when the main focus of the topic is Overwatch.
Which is why I said for people that don't care / don't like it?
> Being a fucking retard and trying to act smart isn't going to work out for you in the long run, friend.
That's pretty ironic considering you somehow need context clues on a thread with an established topic.
>>337351314
Sure is fun to die against an aimbot instakill ult
Junkrat a cute!
yeah I preordered
show me a better team FPS
I might try some free FPS mobas like Paragon but I hate how long moba matches take and all the last hitting etc.
>>337346025
I'm going to play the shit out of it for a month, get bored, drop it, and either never touch it again or pick it back up in a couple months if they have more content and my pleb friends finally buy it.
>>337348579
Why do you want a disc these days?
I mean it was a valid arguement back when you had limited downloads and shit
But now?
>>337351467
>i'm a poorfag
>>337351879
Select a hero that has an aimbot instant kill?
I mean it's not like you don't have one to begin with.
You're making it sound like everyone but you has an ultimate.
>>337351879
But it's fun when you kill with an aimbot instakill ult, right?
Learn to win and lose, retard. You're the kind of faggot that gets salty when you lose but you mock the other team when you win.
>>337351467
Then the poorfag option is for you. Simple.
I've been trying to sell my steam account to buy this among other things, but every damn person that's shown interest is just a scammer.
So redpill me on this game, /v/.
Is it worth the purchase right now, or should I wait?
>>337352486
You should have played the open beta and made a decision on it yourself.
>>337352486
It's a fun $20 game.
If you have the money and aren't a poorfag/ don't mind overpaying, go for it.
If you're poor/jewish then wait for the price to drop.
>>337352625
Thanks, anon.
>>337352579
Fag
>>337352063
Not him. But Blizzard makes good boxes and high quality too.
I am spending the 60 on it because I really love the game so much. As a matter of fact I am buying 2 fucking boxed editions and gift one randomly to /v/.
In case you didn't know, the boxed game comes with a code which you activate and you can download anywhere everywhere.
>>337352486
Should've played the beta bro. It was what sold me on it for sure.
It's just an all around fun shooter. Lots of personality and the diversity of the cast weapon/ability wise is addicting. If you get a good team any given game it's even better
>>337352625
I like the game but I really don't want to buy it because Blizzard is a fucking disgusting company and I don't want to give them my money.
I probably will, but I really, really don't want to.
>>337352680
Not that anon but he's right.. The game was free to play for like a week you douche
>>337351879
>ITS HIGH NO- UGHH
Lol ults are incredibly easy to avoid if someone is using it sloppily against you on their own. When you run into a good team that synchronizes their ults then you have an excuse to die to them.

I will never understand how people can possibly think Dark Souls 1 is good. The only explanation I can possibly think of was that it was their first game.
>>337352949

Just answer the question and stop being autistic you fucking queer.
>>337346025
People here constantly compare it to TF2, but i never enjoyed TF2, while overwatch was actually fun to play.
>>337349134
The skill ceiling is high enough that people don't realize that Bastion & Torbjorn are utterly useless & Mercy is currently the worst support in the game.
>>337353058
But somehow has the time to browse /v/.
Also, what could possibly take an entire week of your life that you didn't have at least 20 minutes to try it?
Even with my busy schedule I was able to play 2 hours during that time.
>>337353137
Meh, like I said here >>337353058
I'll give it another month to see what happens with the game and the community

Should I buy Overwatch or Doom if I can only get one of them? Didn't get to try DOOM beta
>>337346025
Where's the "Only if CD-Key Shops have it for 20$/€" Option.
No. The novelty of it wore off really quickly and by the second day I realized I wasn't having fun anymore.
I can see that a lot of work went into it, which is a shame that it was wasted on such an ultimately shallow game. Should've put all that effort into HotS instead, since it's a much more fun game.
>>337346025
I already did.

>>337353798
Of course.
>>337353396
Making him a robot doesn't make him not a cliche. There's a lot of bland takes on archetypes, and a lot of poorly done juxtapositions.
>Oh he's a gorilla BUT ALSO REALLY SMART OOOOOH
>A calm and introspect robot who's not like the others, OOOH so original
>Oh she's a woman BUT ALSO REALLY STRONG OH MOTHER RUSSIA MAKES YOU STRONG LOOK SHE WRESSLES BEARS
Seriously, when it's not a dumb shit cliche it's a "juxtaposed" cliche that's been done before by people who knew what they were doing. I hate to bring up valve and TF2, but they did this shit so much better and the characters were so much more appealing even though a lot of them were cliches.
HUH, almost 50/50

>this is what autism actually looks like
lol
>>337354023
>I called someone autistic on the internet again mom
>>337352486
It's fun but not worth 40.
But since it's a Blizzard game and not getting a price cut ever, it's either pay it or wait years for a small price reduction.
The expensive thing can be seen as a good thing since it will prevent the hordes of F2P scum and kids ruining it like it happened with TF2.
>>337346025
I can't even buy the game because I have a fucking Mac.
And the people on console are just autistic

>>337353910
Everything in existence is a cliche, but there's always fresh takes on things and cliches that are done well. Overwatch has neither of these. Every single character is a boring, bland piece of shit designed by a committee to appeal to as big of an audience as possible. There's no cleverness in any of them, no wit and absolutely no original thought or idea. It's all shit that we've seen before, and no, you can't defend it with "it's deliberately done that way" because there are works that are deliberately evoking cliched and archetypes of things by the authors who liked them and are much better than this.
The reason this worked in, say, TF2, is because there's more to the characters than their appearances. Demoman's character doesn't begin and end with "He's black and scottish, HAHA isn't that funny?!". If it were done by the Overwatch team, Heavy'd be a "gentle giant" and Medic would be an actual nazi.
>>337354347
Okay, please tell me what fresh take does Overwatch give for any of the "archetypes" in it.
>>337354293

>>337346025
I might. I haven't tried the beta but i heard very good things.
>>337349496
Friendly reminder that on release, TF2 was exactly like Overwatch in this way: you didn't have loadouts, you had one class, and they had a single set of gear.
Not saying that TF2's loadout variability isn't better, but if you're going to compare the games, remember that TF2 started the same.
I don't play video games I just watch a live stream.

Which is fucking hilarious.

D3 is 20 bucks, the expansion another 20.

And don't let me start on teh price of old games like BW, D2 and W3.
>>337354458

I'd call you autistic as well but that'd be offensive to people with actual autism.
>>337354483

Are you using the backstory comics of the game as your justification? Because Overwatch has backstory for every single character that is referenced by a ton of varied in-game dialogue. Doesn't mean you have to like it but please justify how TF2 is any better

They are jews but no need to lie here.
>>337354743
Good thing that you brought up Overwatch's backstory, I almost forgot how shit it was. I read the lore behind every single character and it's so completely disconnected from the actual game that it's hilarious. Every single time I read it, all I could think was "Oh, this is worse than what I imagined for this character."
But no, leaving the "backstory" aside (Which incriminates your piece of shit game even more of unoriginality), every character is still a bland sack of shit compared to the games it's trying to copy. If you want me to keep the playing field fair, I can stop comparing them to TF2 characters, and start comparing them with League or Dota 2 characters, which are also miles better, in both in-game characterization and written backstory.
>>337354589
TF2 had a good and coherent game design though. You didn't have shit like stuns, instakill combos and hacks on a button
>>337346025
Not until they drop the price to 20 bucks.
>>337354930
Which is ad hominem.
We're going full circle now.
>>337354841
the base game was 50 euro I think when it came out and the x-packs where 40 euro on the start , also to play the latest game you only need the last xpack.
and lets not forget how each campaign had more missions then whole starcraft 1

You can do it too if you want to help. Just look up the Strawpoll vote script. The captcha only appears on the webpage, so it's easily bypassable.
>>337355098
>instakill combos
Last time I checked the sniper could kill every class in the game with a headshot and can kill ,spy,engie,scout,medic with 1 charged body shoot.
Also you complain about stuns, you forgot about the sandman?
>>337355371
Look at this kid can't even counter my argument. Okay kid you obviously lost goodbye LMAO!

Electrical Engineer, actually.
Funny how you throw that "autistic" word around too much.
Are you perhaps trying to project something?
>>337355005
>>337355206
Oh fuck me. Yeah the expansions were $40.
The whole process was still greedy as shit, so whatever.
>>337355267
Yeah but is OP an actual marketer? Would someone trying to pretend to be a regular poster actually put Overwatch™ with the trademark? Seems something an ironic shitposter pretending to be a marketer would do, not an actual marketer trying to pass themselves off as a casual user.
Unless the actual marketer is trying to disguise themselves as an ironic shitposter pretending to be a marketer.
>>337355528
not him but you honestly sound like a faggot i hope i never have to see you in a arena shooter like quake or the new ut
>>337346025
where's the "when it's on sale if enough of my friends are actually playing it"?
I am buying it on PS4 because I enjoyed it and I couldn't care less what people here think about the game or the platform I'm getting it on.
>>337355364
He's an insane jackass who likes burning things.
>>337355371
I would like Overwatch if it was good. And, unlike you, I can argue why I don't think it's good.
>Taste is subjective
You can enjoy listening to off-tune music or reading a book soaked in water, but that doesn't mean your opinion is right.
Maybe you should read some books, or watch a couple of movies or even play a bit more video games to diversify your tastes and then you'll understand what I'm talking about.
>>337355648
the give you 3 times more missions but they dont charge you 3 times more.
How is that greedy ?
Also there is actually only 1 xpack and that was the zerg campaign.
>>337355627
>electrical engineer
So you just have severely reduced social and contexual skills? With a certain knack for procedure and patterns?
Certainly not autistic, nope.
No. I've experienced everything the game can offer during the beta.

Do TF2 character even have a backstory , from what I did get I feel like Valve made them on the go trough the years.

Would you look at that stellar writing?
>>337355650
>Seems something an ironic shitposter pretending to be a marketer would do, not an actual marketer trying to pass themselves off as a casual user.
Ironic shilling for free is even more pathetic, I can understand drones getting paid to spam Reddit, 4chan, etc because hey, money is money.
But going a step further and doing their work for them free of charge, just to make the board that much worse, they also need to fuck off, and should be reportable
>>337355820
>Team Fortress 2.5
That implies OW is an improved game which is objectively wrong.
Yes because playing as Genji is the most fun I've had in a shooter in a long ass time
>>337355760
>He's and insane jackass who likes burning things
Are you using this as an example to show how much better he is than a character in Overwatch? Pyromaniac is one of the most overused cliches of all time. And again, that's fine. But your argument was that the characters in TF2 are a million times more creative than Overwatch's, so I'd like another example
>>337355803
You're calling Engineers autistic? Really? Is that the best insult you can come up with?
>>337355982
Do you honestly believe that 90%of all threads on /v/ are shill posts?
Dude I was once autistic and would literally spam Final Fantasy 13 threads on /v/ and laugh when people accuse me for being a shill.
>>337356001
So even if I have fun , you know better then me that I am actually not having fun with the game.
You are literally "YOU THINK YOU WANT TO PLAY VANILLA WOW, BUT YOU ACTUALLY DONT WANT"
>>337355537
I'm not moving your goalposts retard, I am not even the person you're fucking arguing with. I'm just saying auto-aim stun--> instakill moves are not the same as sandman. at least you still had to fucking aim where the ball was gonna go
>>337355803
someone sure is jealous
>>337355967
More stellar than Overwatch's characters. Unlike it, TF2's writers didn't have a producer standing behind them and telling them "Make him more likeable."
>>337355927
They had on release. Small bits of writing and the rest of characterization was in their numerous voicelines. On the other side, Overwatch has a big, overwritten hog of a backstory for every character and very little in-game interaction. And before you go
>Hurr durr how can you say it's shit but now you complain there's too much writing
Keep in mind that it's big AND badly written. Boring to the core, and completely disconnected from the actual game itself.
>>337355960
>being a total autist
>not even realizing it
Yep, I definitely have a liberal arts degree. Yep, I'm definitely poor. Yep, I definitely support Bernie. Yep, I definitely have student loan debt.
hahahaha you fucking fag, jesus christ. Go see a doctor. See if he'll agree with my diagnosis.
>>337347502
You do that, smug anime girl. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise.
>It's not about being a richfag or poorfag, it's just not worth $40
Hate to break it to you, but if you're concerned about $40, you're a poorfag.

This is exactly how I felt about TF2 ,
I am happy at that we can agree that TF2 backstory was just retarded and awful made.
>>337356239
I also had some fun playing Overwatch. But the amount of bullshit in the game overrides any fun. And if it's worse than TF2 doesn't mean you can't have fun.
>>337356306
Your paranoia is showing dude, that wasn't even my answer, look over here:
>>337356084
And for the record, /v/ is not one person. Only someone with autism would believe that.
>>337356459
Well I played the closed beta and I have probably already put 500 hours into the game what exactly is that makes your frustrated ?
>>337356462
Seriously, dude. Go see a doctor. You don't get to say words like 'paranoia' without getting laughed at.
>>337356291
I don't even understand your argument anymore. Are you trying to say that making a character "likeable" is a bad thing? What does that even mean?
>>337356343
I already started buying parts
To then wish I thought about this more carefully when I remembered about Australian Conversion rates

>>337356616
Here, nigga. I didn't get a chance to really git gud with all the characters yet and I'm itching to
>>337356572
Hey I am not the one thinking /v/ is one person. Just saying.
>>337356134
No, I think certain games are shilled. I am not a retard who thinks someone liking a game or making a normal thread about a game = shilling. Those kneejerkers are just as bad as the marketers.
Like the Undertale spammers when it was popular, I could see those were shitposters who knew talking about the game was [guaranteed (You)s] and it was always easy to tell.
Overwatch and DOOM have been absolutely spammed here to hell and back, far and above anything else, because they are marketing vehicles, behind which a lot of investment and money have been poured into.
Unfortunately I know in the end these companies will continue to do this, just as they have for years, even if it gets worse and more obvious every time. Which is a fucking shame, but I wish people would at least try to be aware they're being manipulated.
Overwatch is great and will go on to be hugely successful. All the people who voted yes will be having fun for months and beyond as blizzard releases more content, while the sad fucks who voted no will just sit on a Nepalese scroll printing website and circle jerk about how "casual" this fun game is.
>>337346025
I'll buy it when it drops to 20$ on online reseller.
>>337356616
I've been in a gaming funk this week. I played a lot of different games until the beta was up and I played the beta the entire weekend, and now I just don't feel like playing anything because I want to play OW.
>>337356737
See you in 2021 :^)
>>337356578
No, I'm not saying that making them likable is a bad thing, I'm saying that a committee designed them to be "likable" to appeal to as many people as possible. They're products made to sell instead of being created out of an artist's spark, so they have to be safe and industrial. And while I don't have anything against wanting to make money, I have something against people pretending there's more to them than meets the eye.
>>337355238
>implying this is anything like mccree's stun grenade or roadhog's hook
>implying this isn't ten time harder to land and doesn't actually stun at close range

>>337356702
>LOL JUST SAYING
Heh. Go get yourself checked, bud.
>>337356709
honestly go seek some fucking help, you are literally retarded for believing that some company will hire people to promote a game on a imageboard that isn't even that big to people who praise pirates and hateevery game and where the threads they make get deleted in a few hours.
Seriously go get some help you autistic paranoid idiot.
>>337356783
More like 3 months

butthurt: the post
topkek, looks like the liberal got mad
>>337356702
What a fucking weenie thing to say
I'll wait and see how BlizzBalance™ shakes out.
If we end up with retarded nerf / buff pendulum they're known for, i'm avoiding the game like hot sick.

I am saving this post for the lulz and show it to future generations.
>>337356990
.. dude you are so stupid it is simply saddening.
There are many, many people employed in 'social marketing' departments whose job is to do exactly that.
Shut the fuck up, please. Please. Please shut the fuck up.
>>337356920
Is it necessary to write it all in caps lock though? Isn't that the first sign when someone got mad?
>>337354428
So is Wc3 and Diablo 2
>>337357201
>>337356850
I still don't get your point. That's true for everything that's existed in the history of ever. Your favorite character was audience tested. Your favorite game, movie, show, whatever the fuck was made with audience in mind. Whether that audience is children, teenagers, adults, or old people. That's how entertainment works. If something doesn't work for you over what you does, that doesn't mean what you prefer was not engineered to be "likeable"
>>337356990
You seem a little aggressive there. I think you might be the one who should seek help.
>on a imageboard that isn't even that big
4chan is considered a cornerstone social media site to marketers (just like reddit), and probably to most of the newfags who have come here in the last year or so.
Spamming on /v/ is proven to help game sales, hell /v/ was the one who jumpstarted Minecraft's popularity back in the day.
>>337357141
those two posts are just poetry
the first kid even said 'liberal arts major detected' without a hint of irony.
the whole thing is fucking hilarious.
>>337357124

>>337356551
Soulless characters. Bullshit abilities like wallhack and various instakill combos.
>>337357353

>>337357315
greentext in all caps is "i'm mocking what you just said"
it's a non-call
>>337346025
Yes, but not for 40€
>>337357398
lol you're right, I am screencaping both responses, never seen someone get this butthurt on /v/ before so might as well preserve it.
>>337357508
I get the mocking part, I just don't see the need to caps lock everything.
Unless you're really angry and you want everyone to notice it.
>>337357353
My favorite character is a dick sucking vampire in a comic about God being an asshole, written by a guy that is notoriously edgy and disliked by producers. And it's true that most works are a cooperative effort, but that doesn't change the fact that all of Overwatch's characters are the equivalent of this.
They're all really boring and bland takes on established archetypes, and it's very clear that they were designed with just selling them in mind and making them as popular and safe as possible, instead of there being one guy who really wanted to create them because they liked that sort of thing.
>>337357776
I dunno nigga, people greentext in caps all the time. It's just a thing to do.
>>337357776
there's a difference between anger and ridicule
greentext in caps is ridicule
>>337356579
Geez. For that kind of money might as well go all in and get a VR headset too.
>>337358117
Not really, it's the first sign you get mad and in order to prove a point you have to green text in all caps.
The people who don't like overwatch are the types who play HotS and are upset the fps genre is still popular.
Sorry you suck at aiming and cant kill a bastion.
>>337358332
What if I literally said, "no it isn't."
Relax.
>>337357852
There's someone out there who thinks your favorite character/story is garbage. Sorry. Nothing exists that everyone unanimously enjoys and I think that's important when talking about stuff like this. You think Ocerwatch's characters are bad cliches, fine. But there a ton of people who love them. You like TF2's cast better, fine. There's an audience who thinks they're cliches. You're not better and neither am I for liking what we like, and I don't even dislike TF2's characters.
>>337358117
Poster was clearly angry.
>>337358332
the first sign of being mad is actually posting an image with your response to somehow prove your point when someone disagrees with you
>>337357384
I dont see any videogame companys doing it on /v/ just fucking post me 1 image of a guy who showed that he did get paid to shill on /v/ , some actual real proof.
>>337357949
That explains why /v/ is full of autists. Thanks.
>>337358531
It's definitely more contempt than anger. Which people love to think are the same thing.

Everyone I see who sucks at this game and complains about it are youtube and twitch streamers who play mobas for a living.
You dont belong here and thats okay. Just go play something else.
