what the hell is so bad about overwatch on console? I don't have a good pc and don't want to spend a huge amount of money to build/buy one.
>>
>>338291501
Nothing fuck the haters

full disclosure I have it on PC
>>
Nothing really. Just bad performance and bad controls, but everyone else will have the same handicap so it will still be fair.
>>
It's fine but personally I can't play FPS games with controller anymore.

I used to play some of the call of duty games on pc but the console versions always had significantly larger playerbases (like up to 10+ times larger)
>>
>>338291501
Controllers are not as nice as kbm for shooters, but since everyone who you play with has the same problem it's still ok. Couldn't you use kbm pn ps4 though?
>>
>>338291501
>FPS on a controller
There you go.
>>
>>338291501
Nothing's wrong with enjoying an inferior product
>>
>>338291843

If everyone you're playing against is using a controller, then it's not so bad.

Playing FPS games on PC with a controller is insane however.
>>
>>338291501
Unlike most games it will last longer on PC and have a larger playerbase since most people getting it are Blizzdrones

>>338291791
the PS4 works with keyboard and mouse, that game Paragon allows it, not sure if Overwatch allows it


But yeah OP, the only real problem is the controller. Hell my console runs it better than my PC but I just can't stand not using keyboard and mouse.
>>
You're fine playing it on console. But it will play a lot slower and more retarded. When I see overwatch console play it looks like a mech warrior game. When I played on PC its way the fuck twitchier and deadlier because of the higher precision.
>>
>>338291951

>he hasn't seen people playing FPSes on PC with a racing game steering wheel

People blaming the control scheme just need a crutch to excuse how bad they are

Only thing wrong is feeling like you have to impress this shithole. Play what you want how you want. It's your money, stop trying to be in the secret club.
>>
>>338291752

That's because Consoles are for children, and Call of Duty is for children.

>>338291994

>unlike most

Uhh what? Literally every PC game has a longer-lasting playerbase than console. Console kiddies will just drop overwatch and move on to the next shitty CoD clone shooter within a couple of months.
>>
>>338291843
Since playerbases are up to 10-20 times larger, I assume OP's irl mates are on ps4, so he'd have to get it on ps4 even if he had a pc as well. Also, the controller on fps is irrelevant when consoles always have more people playing it.
>>
>>338292242
Are there comparison videos?
>>
>>338292359
Yes, and when they play with the steering wheel that's their excuse for how poor they're doing.
>>
>>338292406

Overwatch won't have more people playing it on console, You're dumb. Garbage games like CoD have more on consoles lmao

Well you had enough to buy a PS4, didn't you?

Could've built a PC around that same price AND have it be more powerful.

You will find less cheaters, missing the true pc experience.
>>
The only problem console gaming has these days is there is not much input variety. Everyone is stuck using the controller. It's like going to a fighting tournament and everyone is using a pad instead of a fight stick.
>>
>>338291501
>what's so bad about overwatch on console?
It's got console controls. That's about it.

Besides Widowmaker and some of the more mobile heroes not being as useful and High-sensitivity Tracers being godlike, not much is going to be different.
>>
>>338292568
In beta I played it both on PC and on Xbone and let me tell you the main difference I saw
The console version had a lot more AFK players. Like they wouldn't pick a character the entire match, so I guess AFK detection never caught them, leaving the entire match a 5 v 6 and in one scenario, a 4 v 6. It was so fucking terrible. Main reason I'm getting it on my PC despite it running like shit comparatively.
My friend on the other console though says he doesn't really run into that but people suck.
>>
>>338291615
It runs perfectly on PS4 though.
>>
>>338291501
it being on console just limits the whole game

you see no air strafing? no rocket skillful rocket jumps? instead you press le 1 button for jet pack xD its balanced for consoles
>>
>>338291501
dont see a problem with it.
played the beta on ps4 and had a blast.

>>338292975
I'm sure there are some outlier cases in fps where using a controller is a better idea. Regardless, consoles lack variety for their input and most would do much better using a keyboard and mouse. But everyone is locked down to a controller.
>>
>>338293064
I'm not trying to start shit there, I'm repeating my friend who also only got to play that weekend.
>>338293159
I kinda miss playing that, only because it never got patched and I abused the shit out of glitches.
>>
>>338293107
You're not going to be pulling off crazy wall-climbing dodges mid-combat while nailing people with shuriken headshots, but you'll still be able to use genji in his primary function: reflecting heavy weapons and assassinating snipers/supports
>>
Its not an issue with Overwatch, but rather just the fact that FPS are better played with M+KB
>>
It's not that big of a difference. I played it on both during the beta. It just sucks you have to get the 60 dollar version. It should have a decent sized community since everyone is angry at COD.
>>
>>338293472
People played it for the first year or two. I know it still had enough people I didn't keep running into the same people over and over after the Pyro update on PC

2nd question.

If I get the physical PC version, do I need to use the disc each time I play? I havent gotten physical in ages.
>>
>>338294067
No, the disc carries/comes with a license to play the game but that license gets tied to your battle.net account. You don't need to have the disc in.

The only people who got into the actual beta were twitch streamers and youtube fuckboys. A very small handful of other folks were given keys, I assume to show that everyone had a chance of getting in, but most of those people didn't even play because they didn't want to.

I played it on xbox one and it was almost perfect performance wise. Some screen tear here and there but it really doesnt last long (not more than 1 or 2 seconds) and happens very rarely. PS4 version doesn't have that issue.

Gameplay wise nothing has changed, except the turrets auto lock rate is decreased slightly to compensate the fact that people are aiming with a controller so it's slower.

I thought this streamer-only closed beta meme died already but guess not. If your vision wasn't blinded by rage over not getting into the beta you could've watched a stream and you would've had a hard time spotting any streamers or youtubers unless the streamer was actively queueing with them.

Are there separate servers? I dunno how console can survive as long as PC if a new generation comes out

Remember TF2 survived for almost 10 years. Consoles come out every 4-5.

There was probably 2-3mil on PS4, barely 1mil on XBoner because nobody owns one, and the rest were PC

how exactly does the pricing for PS plus work? can I just pay on a monthly basis or is it all upfront?

If your computer can't run a game on High/Ultra at 60FPS with no frame drops you're not superior to a console version of a game.

It'll be at least twice as big on PC, probably more like three times bigger, and those numbers will last much longer too. I'm a mild sonygger and I'm still making sure to buy this on PC. Who the fuck would buy a Blizzard game on console? Only reason I can think of is if you're a normie who wants couch co-op Diablo 3. That Starcraft port to N64 had pretty gud controls though.

I'm just giving you the facts, I'm not telling you which version to get. If you already have a PC then get it on fucking PC.

I'm not autistic, I don't care which version anyone plays. I play on PS4 because I like controllers, I have other games I use PS+ for anyway and I have more friends with PS4s than PCs.

If PC is easier then do it. You'll get free online with more cheaters/hackers. That's your trade-off.

That said if you have neither it's going to cost you more than $400 for a good PC anyway, and PS+ gives you free games every month and lots of deals.

They both have pros and cons.

Yeah yeah shit phrasing, I used to give people shit for the same thing.

They're free rentals.

Most of the time they're either shit or easy to get your fill off within a month anyway.
>>
>>338300739
No but check if you can play training mode.
>>
>>338300850
It's worth noting that you don't get free games on PS+ but rather you get to rent them for free during the duration of you subscription. If/when you cancel you lose access to those games.

>>338300850
Also a PC is much more than just a gaming platform. Objectively thinking you get more for the money if you go PC route.

this is just a guess, and people can correct me (since they tried the beta) but i would imagine turning around on consoles is pretty rough without a keyboard and aiming would take slightly longer?

It's not so much that it would take longer, you can adjust sensitivity, it's that to get to a point on the screen with a joystick, you need to hold in a direction for X amount of time. With a mouse, you just move your mouse to that point as fast as you can physically move it while still under complete control of the speed.

That said, controller's have analogs for movement which some may see as superior to wsad since more angles are achievable at variable speeds.

To me, I'd MUCH rather be able to aim with a mouse and be restricted to wsad combinations for movement.
>>
>>338292406
I'm actually interested in knowing wether there's any way to know how many people played the beta on each platform.

I doubt there were more players on consoles than PC because all Blizzdrones have PCs and because the game is direct competition to TF2 which was shit on consoles so there's less people looking for something new but similar to TF2.

There are way more cons to a console than that. For example that it's a dead block of garbage outside of playing games the most shoddily possible way.

Also I got an xbox for a bit over a year and I had to buy 3 controllers already for 60 bucks a pop that break like ass, shit expensive peripherie like a horrible headset for 30$ and numerous mini usb cables because they easily break at the port, had to buy a 40$ digital/analog audio converter because that shitbox only has optical out, and bought 2 fucking games that cost me way over 200 fucking bucks to get the full fucking thing, and to top it off I have to pay 50$ to play the shoddiest possible fucking online mp and party/teamspeak infrastructure known the man that shits itself constantly.. The "free" games you get were almost exclusively shoddy 3rd party shit that didn't sell in the first place, or it's ancient shit you already played through 3 years ago and is never a AAA title, ever.

Consoles having "PROS" is a fucking myth There is nothing positive about these communist shitboxes, they only exist because "exclusives" and the only reason why these games get chain'd forever in console hell is because the fucking console exists.

There is no fucking reason for a video-game enthusiast to think positively about the modern day cashsoles. Not one.

It's very light on the hardware but it depends on the toaster. Toaster doesn't mean anything. Compare your specs to Overwatch's recommended and it should run just fine your computer meets the requirements.

Man, I swear everyone moves at about half the speed than on PC, I didn't know that when Blizzard said that both versions would be balanced differently that it would be this jarring.

It's funny how Mei is not such a cunt on console because on PC anyone who's not a shitter can easily kill you as soon as you're frozen because those fucking icicle headshots hurt like hell but because it's harder to line up a headshot with a gamepad she's not as OP.

Dark Souls 3 was created and maintained by the Japanese though.

It was really fun for me on ps4. I was on closed beta on pc and played a couple hours of open beta on pc but the ps4 has most of my playtime. The level of play is alot more intense on pc though and in general most players were working together as opposed to running and gunning, and the gameplay was a lot smoother. Ps4 version looked great and performed way better than I expected. Also the pc version didn't fully support my 2560 x 1080 21:9 resolution and aspect but oh well. Oh and the price is a little steep for consoles. I like the game but don't think it's worth more than $29

Game looks and runs fine, but there are a lot of things I can pull off on PC that I just couldn't get around on a pad. Not trying to start a pad vs KBM debate here, because there are a lot of shooters that play just fine on console. This is not one of them.

You can usually get it build at the store or get a friend to do it. Get Windows 10 as it comes with a builtin antivirus. It's very hassle free OS.

You could also take a look at some prebuilt PCs even though they aren't the best option. They come built and OS preinstalled so you're good to go. Just check that the specs are good enough. Recent Intel CPU, 8gigs of ram and at least nVidia 960 or better (or Radeon equivalent) and you're good to go.

At least Acer makes pretty cheap prebuilds with good enough specs.

Well, pcpartpicker has a filter that only gives you parts that are compatible with each other and with a bit of research you can figure it out yourself. You could ask someone who knows their shit or find a reputable build in the internet
You can watch a youtube video on building a pc, it's just like putting square blocks in square holes, but if you really don't want to put one together yourself, you can pay someone to build it.
You can find a windows torrent and install it to a usb stick using rufus and activate it using daz loader, for antivirus avira seems to be the best one.

If I know I won't pump 50-100 hours into a game, I buy it on console and sell it, save like $500-$800 a year. I'm a cheapskate, been doing it for 9 years now.

Most of them work fine, so rarely is kind of an overstatement, although there are definitely bad launches, mostly because of shitty drm and shitty servers

Not even remotely, considering that you can do everything known to man with a pc and pretty much nothing with the dead box you paid way too much for.
Consoles are communist, and PC's are the free market if you will. Everyone gets exactly what they want and what they can afford. With consoles you get what you are presented and not a thing more. They tell you what you can do and how you can do it.
That's communism.

There's a difference between being forced to use a drm box and being forced to use a proprietary botnet that tracks your life.
