I may be biased since I've always been using Sony consoles, but I'm very satisfied with my PS4. It has a decent amount of exclusives, too. I really don't get the nogames meme, it stopped being true long ago.
This game is best played on PC though, all FPS are IMO.

Here's a list of auto-aims in Overwatch.

Soldier 76 ultimate
Mccree ultimate
Reaper ultimate
Winston primary gun
Symmetra primary gun & turrets
Torbjorn turret
Roadhog chain (aim assist)


Here's a list of attacks which aren't auto-aim but you essentially cannot miss with them no matter how bad you are.

Bastion turret gun
Reaper primary guns
Tracer primary guns
Reinhardt primary melee
Zenyatta orb of discord
Winston ultimate
Pharah ultimate
Roadhog primary
Roadhog ultimate
Zarya ultimate
Tracer ultimate
Mei primary
Mei ultimate
Genji ultimate
D.Va primary
D.Va ultimate

Additionally, almost every character has a skill that negates all positional mistakes. For example: caught on the ground as the rocketess Pharah? No problem, just press this easy button and you're instantly in the sky, where you're most effective.

Ran yourself into a bad spot as the fragile Tracer? No problem, just press this button and you're instantly back where you were before.

Got caught in the open as the close-range Reaper? Just press your invulnerability button and float over to a healthkit. You get this and many other movement tools completely free, there's nothing you give up for them, like sacrificing health with a rocket-jump.


The tools Overwatch gives you to solve problems are contained in a single button rather than a complex and difficult set of movements and/or offensive measures. The entire game revolves around identifying the correct rock-paper-scissors situation to press your button, then pressing it. There is no serious skill of any kind involved. You're going through the motions of what you think a video game entails.

The miniscule difference between a week-old Overwatch player and a year-old Overwatch player is lost in the cloud of instakill ultimates, teleports and AOE abilities. This game is transcendentally shit and there is no escape from it. This is the very profitable future of FPS. Hell. Population: you.

About the same. But on resale sites you get the Origin edition for the $40 if that's worth anything to you.

i can believe it, it's 9.7 million players spread across 3 systems in a beta that's free for a game with a ton of hype/shilling.
>>
>>337383927
I found it to be fun with a few friends on the team, but solo was pretty unfun. I just don't see this lasting long, before going the way of TF2 with the F2P and market system, especially due to "loot boxes" having an element of random to them already. It just seems like the game is groomed to not have staying power, but is already setup to go the free route down the road.

Maybe because I haven't played any shooters between Overwatch and Battlefield 3, I just want something different. TF2 seems to fill the role Overwatch is setting up for without a fee involved, and the meta seems to be like a moba, which isn't really what I want in a shooter. I just want to use vehicles and have fun, instead of constantly rushing into the meat grinder like most matches in Overwatch.

Playing the Open Beta over the weekend made me realize the game isn't worth the pricetag they ask for.
Heck, the game feels way too MOBA-ish with all of its stuns, slowdowns and instakill abilities to me that I doubt I would even enjoy it for too long if was free.

Thanks ActivisionBlizzard, for allowing me to form my own opinion by letting me test your product.

The best part is how at the same time you see the Reinhardt (was OnlyAfro playing?) give away a free kill by not charging a Mei as she is right next to a wall. He literally has to do nothing but press shift, but instead he runs after her and tries to melee her only to get his ass frozen.

It really puts their level of 'skill' into perspective, especially considering they actually complain about Bastion even though he's a noob-killer that becomes useless after lvl10.

I didn't. Because I was all into playing Dark Souls 3 since it was just released. And by the time I looked into how to try Overwatch, there was only like 3 hours left of the open beta.

Kind of bummed me out to be honest. There is no way I am going to pay $40 just to try the game. So I am probably going to be skipping this one.
It looked kind of interesting though for once.In spite of being a shooter.

I will never understand the hype for it. It's the same thing over and over again and I got bored after 2 days. I'm glad they had a beta so I could at least try the game before purchase though.

Different modes, different objectives and much larger maps that focus on different things aside from "escort X", way too simple of a game.

The game is for everyone, painfully so, and sacrifices all depth and interesting gameplay and all of the impact of skill to get to that point.

For that reason, skilled gamers are avoiding it entirely, and it will only take a matter of weeks for casuals to get tired of it once they realize it's ankle-shallow.

Trust me, playing an fps game with a controller is not fun and its extremely limiting.

Save up money and buy a PC instead, there is no monthly subscription, the games are cheaper and you'll save money in the long run. And with the mouse and keyboard you'll have access to a ton of exclusive games that can't be played with a controller.

>>337386874
If one setting is objectively better for competetive play than the other then it's really a balancing issue.

Suppose that the slider exists and 75% of players simply set it to the same, optimal setting as dictated by whatever meta guide someone writes. 10% set it to something else and 15% don't know about it.

You'd end up in the same situation as WoW, where people need guides and meta-knowledge to get a major edge over others.

It's not what I would've done for the game, but it's understandable. If you want 'muh professional arena-shooter for mature gamers such as myself' then there's plenty of alternatives.

So the game actually turned out to be fun, characters are unique enough where you can play any of them for a different play style, it's not a full price game so even poorfags might be able to buy it, and the 20 tick rate doesn't mean shit for 9.7 mil players to try it out. Who cares if it's not good enough for some.competitive asswhipes when millions of people buy the game.

Unfortunately that post is only true when applied to the millennial audience that this website has, and the content (which by logic) which is also self-made by millennials and pushed ad nauseam. Anonymity gives the audience a sense of safeness and security, unfortunately the audience isn't aware of itself, and how this site is being visited mainly by the same kind of people that is being hated and spitted on. It becomes irrelevant very fast when we're broadening our own point of view to a much diverse and rich pool of visitors, including those who just lurk around, or women.

It takes a strong man to deny what's right in front of him, especially when said thing is a threat to the emotional balance of an individual, a balance built on the assurance that everyone here is the same as "me" labelled as an anonymous-que character whose real identity is completely irrelevant and the only thing that applies is the noospherical sense of oneself, including but not only the point of being among a group of people who share everything, from opinions to anonymity, and also work as a single entity.

It doesn't take that much for the individual to grow intellectually tired of this website and move on, either by giving up and returning to having an identity or by just realizing the utter waste of time that this place is capable of, unless he's here just for a primal egoistical Schadenfreude feel fueled by the misfortune of those who are stupid enough to not realize all of this, and just pretending that everyone is legit and no one is trolling, Ever. This also enables the absolutely enormous sociopathic\antisocial tendencies of your typical human, which is why this site is often regarded as "dark" and "creepy" by the uncultured masses.

And the best part of all of this is, by using Divide Et Impera, SJWs and Anonymous are constantly clashing at each other.
Little do they know that those who were Anonymous are now SJWs, and vice-versa.
4chan is a factory of sociopaths.

Mate please don't be a div about this. I'm not saying difficult games aren't enjoyable. Christ, I'm not even saying that Overwatch doesn't have some sort of skill level to it.

But the blokes who whinge about an obligatory elites only filter are some of the most pathetic wankers around. Like a fighting game, Overwatch can be fun but it can also have a lot of high level play to it. You're being a mewling quim for saying that people shouldn't have the capacity to have a casual runabout with the game.

>Overwatch may be boring and shallow as an FPS game on account of all of the 'canned skill' abilities eliminating the impact of mechanical skill, but as a strategy game it's good! Just look at how many characters there are, and how many abilities! Surely that leads to good strategy gameplay.

This argument makes sense until you remember that Overwatch is trying to pretend it's an FPS game, not a strategy game. All of the ways in which Overwatch is different from other real time strategy games (the camera, the pace, the lack of resources to fight over) are flaws.

Let's consider Overwatch's strategy merit compared to another the-player-controls-one-unit strategy game like DOTA. Each player has ~3 skills and an ultimate, so there's parity there.

The camera perspective isn't top-down, it's first person. This makes zero sense for a strategy game and inhibits the player's ability to get an overall picture of what's going on. The controls also make it impossible for the player to ever control more than one unit, like they can in DOTA.

There are no map resources to fight over - as a strategy game, the only strategic element is the win condition.

Overwatch is shit as either an FPS game or a strategy game. So it won't sell by its quality.

The only option they have to sell it is manipulative marketing. Here you can see a streamer who was critical of World of Warcraft talk about how he was denied Beta access: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqpBhtq6cHE

Here you can see three TF2 YouTube celebrities are flown to Activision-Blizzard's office free of charge, given a full tour, and hundreds of dollars in merchandise + games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7omcfb5Ttf0

And remember, straight from the lips of Jeff Kaplan, lead producer for Overwatch:

"Actually, Overwatch wasn't ported to console at some point down the line, we've been focusing mainly on it from day 1."

Woah, that's so impressive.

Bet those sales numbers won't be nearly as good. Besides, 9.7 million is pathetic in comparison to the 12 million WoW had. Dead game.

So? Faggots on TF2 used lmaobox for years and nobody said shit until they got banned a couple of days ago.

Game basically has a cheating system everyone can use.

If you're not a moron you can evade most of them.

Please don't buy it. Play gearbox games instead.

I'll bite.

What's wrong with Gearbox? How are they in any way, shape, or form worse than Blizzard?

Battleborn will be dead in just over a week. Perfect game to hold you over for Overwatch.

Just wait a few more years when Overwatch is dead, and Blizzard says, "We've decided not to publish number of Overwatch players due to... reasons."
