Not just little kids, but adults too.

I swear to God they put out the Beta then extended it for one day just to make people hungry for more. There was just enough time to get invested in whatever loot you got and wonder or start hoping for more.

It's like Blizzard knows how to get people crawling back.

They're like the pusher who give you those first few hits of the crackrocks, then run off to the midwest for a few days saying they'll be back on may 24 with a huge shipment of product.

the fans are literally thirsty as fuck for this game and the porn, hype and clamoring for the game is only growing. I don't honestly remember having as much fun with any other game in a very long time.

They have it so low because they have $100 Razer mouse and mousepad for 100% authentic MLG surface tracking. When you have a mouse that is 100% accurate you won't mind sweeping it all the way across your giant MLG desk just to turn around. If you have a regular mouse and some few inches of desk space to work with sure you will want to rev up that sensitivity so you don't have to backtrack your mouse a couple times just to turn around.

i think the results will end up paying out more for blizzard. overall the overwatch beta was very well received and created a thirsty fanbase desperate to get back into the game and creating hype. star wars reaction was more like "nice looking CoD game with star wars music", very lukewarm didn't even hit well with star wars fans. I think Overwatch will end up being the LoL/Dota killer in terms of stealing their player base.

It will most likely be Final Fantasy XV.

Honestly, in terms of Soundtrack and world design it won already. Everything is dynamic, all the lightning and the weather. Story will blow Uncharted 4 out of the water, too.

I've seen this game advertised on Youtube in every possible outlet, on various internet sites, on cable television, on Fox Sports, and yes, even on /v/. Especially on /v/.

People are not only buying this game, not only will it be GotY, but people have also been outlandishly defensive of it. It's been painful watching this develop.

It's like knowing about a lot of the core problems with America's healthcare system only to see everyone around you get excited about a popular, misleading propaganda piece. You think to yourself, "Okay, these are some of the issues, and it would take bipartisan support to deal with but the healthcare industry have some potent lobbyists. And oh, shit here's ten news outlets complaining the medical device tax is driving up prices. Great, now my Facebook friends are passionately ranting against the medical device tax."

Yeah, but when there's twenty threads and each one is a variant of "I love Mercy's ass" with "Pre-order on Amazond Prime for 20% off!" mixed in with other posts, it's hard to guess how many people are fans and how many people are marketers. You wind up unable to trust anything good said about the game if you're cynical.

I still think the game isn't going to have any staying power. People have berated me for thinking that, but I'm convinced it's hype that's got people motivated.

Does the sniper lady have shitty aim when she isnt scoped in like other FPS' or do they allow for good old fashioned hip-firing as well?

Also why does no one ever post webms of the white healer lady?

It gets over 25 million unique visitors per month. It used to be easier to spot marketers back when they didn't understand online culture, but I realize I'm thirty now and the people in these positions now are the folks I went to school with.

With Overwatch, what I suspect to be marketing post are things like this:
>>337935513
Where it's some kind of trivial bullshit that could spark conversation, but it's re-posted over and over to keep threads bumped. The marketers don't really care what we're saying so long as we're talking about Overwatch and other people see it. It's about exposure.

In a lot of the threads running during the beta, they were talking about where to buy the game and at what discounts, but I wouldn't be shocked if the "Tracer is cute! Cute!" threads are marketers. They likely aren't, but if they are there's a lot of plausible deniability and, like I say, the point is to create exposure.

At this point, yeah. There's no reason to open a new overwatch thread at any point right now, unless you were a shill. At any given time there is 10+ threads. You are either a shit posting retard or a shill, and shit posting is probably a shill anyways.

>>337935924
It's better to assume that everyone who's excited about Overwatch is an impressionable teenager and that the threads do contain a small group of marketers successfully trying to get the kids hyped up.

Meanwhile I'll give it a few months before I decide to do anything about the game, because Blizzard has been an awful company lately and I recognize when a corporation has replaced most of its staff with marketers.

Her rifle transforms into a very effective assault rifle when she isn't scoped. It's pretty stupid from a balance perspective. She kills a Winston faster than he kills her in close range if she can aim her headshots at all.

The game doesn't need marketing here. There's a lot of hype about it even on /v/. There were polls asking if they were going to buy the game and %60 said yes. That was from a total of 1000+ people. And people make threads on the regular regardless.
It's natural when a new big game is coming out. I still remember how /v/ was when Sm4sh was coming out.
>>
>>337936231
Of course , I want to think the same thing. But fact is, half of you guys on v said rainbow six siege was the next evolve and will die in months, I did screen capthose posts. Lo and behold, 8 months later, it's still averaging more than evolve did by day 30, and has out sold it. But doesn't stop v screaming "dead game" because 6k people online is "dead" to them.

So in other words, this game might be dead from a million sale standard, but as long as it has 2k+ people online, and it will, even sc2 does, it will be never dead.

You are not convincing anybody but the stupid and poorly informed. Blizzard is obviously not the only company that sends marketers here during a big release, either. This is super cheap advertising. Thousands of people reached and all you have to do is ask a few employees to make threads and hype your game for a while.
>>
>>337936674
It's true, sometimes we have a hard time disconnecting from it. For example, I don't like dark soul games. Now, they are not bad games. At all. But I don't like them.

Overwatch is a bad game, totally 100% I believe it is a bad game. So it angers me that so many people like it because I can't figure it out. I can see the appeal in dark souls. As a shooter overwatch is so shallow i can't figure it out.

I just avoided v mostly until today. And here I am shit posting. Oh well

Or do you think maybe you individually might be an idiot and the rest of us understand the simple economics at work here?

It's a pretty decent team-shooter aking to TF2 which has no competition for what, 7 years now? People want something new and fresh.
I love Quake, Unreal, CS and TF2 but I can only play so much till I get bored of them. Overwatch is a breath of fresh air.
It's also extremely polished and feels great. There are many bad things about it but overall I think it's pretty good.
You should also filter threads if they bother you. Shitposting because people liking a game you don't find appealing is retarded.

>>337937231
I have seen nothing (outside of obvious trolling) in regards to posts or threads about the game that would be distinguishable from "normal" discussion/people talking about it.

Given how immensly popular the game has become, which I've seen reflected in my own circle of friends, the current amount of discussion and threads is in no way unusual.

Ascribing all this to marketers and shills is delusional. The much more likely explanation is that many people want to talk/shitpost about the game and people screaming "shills everywhere!" are having a case of 'stop liking what I don't like', hence the screencap.
>>
>>337937243
Not that guy but... even if they do, there's going to be 10x more threads from anons excited about the game. It happens with every big release. People want to talk about the game.

You can scream shills at anyone interested in the game all you want, doesn't do anyone good. I'm still going to talk about the game and so are all the people who are going to buy it. So, deal with it by filtering words that trigger you.

Fine. Look at the threads now compared to how they were prior to the 14th, which is when I suspect Blizzard's marketing campaign on the site ended.

It's a lot more tame. A lot more people arguing whether the game is actually any good. Far less gushing about the characters who - let's face it - aren't all that well characterized. More in line with what I expect from 4chan.

In most shooter threads, the threads keep their momentum when people argue about this or that weapon. Faction x or y is overpowered and so on. But with Overwatch a lot of it was sustained with pictures of Tracer's ass rather than with gameplay discussion.

The gameplay discussion is there, but there really hasn't been much of it. I don't think there's that much to discuss. Overwatch kind of is what it is, and nobody has had time to develop exploitative, obnoxious strategies yet except for flashbang Mcree and camping Bastion.

I can understand the current rate of threads and waifu faggotry, but what was going on a few days ago was totally over the top and didn't feel organic.

Now look at OW.

Fanservice destroys online games, and online discussions. Therefore, I don't tolerate them. If you wish to provide a counterargument as to why you think I might be mistaken, then please. Provide me with a single Overwatch discussion that has ever taken place that didn't revolve around the "waifus", or didn't eventually devolve into a discussion around them.

That is a wrong observation on so many levels. First of all lots of discussions of good games devolve into waifu talk. Where did you think you were? This is 4chan. That's just how things work here. Second, I see balance and gameplay discussions of Overwatch all the time. You'll see less of that right now because no one is actively playing, but once it releases those threads will pick back up again.

Clearly you don't come here during late night, when sensible discussion happens. The key is that it usually comes from a GOOD game, one that might be obscure, and likely has no waifus (the prime reason behind it being obscure because horny 10 year olds hate anything they can't jerk off to).

>>337940348

>>
>>337940125
You cannot prevent waifu-fags from naturally latching on to attractive female characters.
I also get more easily annoyed by blatant fanservice, but Overwatch doesn't have any of that (mostly because of Blizzard's 'muh family friendly' crap or w/e).

And the whole waifu/sfm-porn stuff has been here from the start, don't act like the discussion was all sophisticated discourse before.
>>
>>337940525

Then it should be easy to find this "discussion". So go ahead.
>>
>>337940125
You are aware that people can't actually play it right now? Discussion about the game itself is less likely to happen if no one can play it, and discussion about balance is a crapshoot since Blizz can do all sorts of shit between when the beta ended and when release occurs. When the beta was running all those discussions were going on and the board was covered in good covnersation, when people can't play they don't talk about it as much which leaves the waifuists to shit up the place.
>>
>>337939523

It's actually more tolerable here. Every other forum and community just becomes a wasteland of talking about Pharah's farts, or Mei being thicc, or whatever. If an online community can't conduct itself, then it's no better than playing with F2P's and BRs. And if I'm playing with the equivalent of that, then why am I paying 40 dollars? It's like a DRM scheme that doesn't stop pirates: it's useless.

>literally get some friends or dont use a mic you autist.
Excuse me. For 40 bucks I shouldn't have to do that. The game should be a perfect title with a perfect community. Is this not what i'm paying for? Is this not the entire reason why people praise Overwatch over F2P shooters like TF2? Now I have to lower my standards AGAIN, while still paying for it?
