So why is /v/ so dense about Overwatch?

I mean, I'm not a super fan of overwatch, I like the game, but I'm just confused as to why /v/ is tossing around

>HUEHUEHUE MICROTRANSATIONS
for stuff you can earn for free anyways
>HUEHUEHUE $40 FOR A MULTIPLAYER ONLY
That would probably last a while, hopefully, but it's a gamw with effort put into it

Is /v/ usually this dense?
Is EVERYTHING a meme game now?
Why can't other people on /v/ let others enjoy a game instead of shoving their opinions and comments down others' throats and refuse anything else?

I just don't get it

The more a game (or company) is liked, the more shitpost it will receive by /v/.
Users here purposely shit on popular stuff, trying to bait people that love it and collect some (you). Then you have the most simple minded users that think those shitposters I described are unironic and so they start really believing their shitposts are true.
>>
>>338710009
No more like TORtanic was a moment of pure shitposting gold that made people have a feeling of togetherness because of their similar opinions. Now they are just trying to recapture that shitmagic by being a shitposting hivemind and saying anything popular, anything with a big budget is the next blunder of the century.

>The more a game (or company) is liked, the more shitpost it will receive by /v/
I think you mean the more well-known it is, popularity doesn't always factor into it

And it certainly works both ways as well. 50% of Overwatch "fan" threads ("TFW OVERWATCH IS GOTY 2016" and the like) are made by people who probably haven't even played the game, they're just trying to get a rise out of the Overwatch haters - and it's working. When the topic lands on games like Overwatch that have a large market/media reach, both sides are as bad as each other

Oh, you're talking about the paid mods fiasco, it took me a while to understand.

Played the open beta. Its just a TF2 copy with nice graphics. It would be worth 20 top with microtransaction. But f2p would make it up for the shit tier blizzard policy for not making public servers.

How does it not feel like a f2p shooter? Nice bait faggot or go figure it out yourself (play some shooters and get your shit together).

And tf2 is like shit old and still feels nice. If they did a mayor update it could easly compare.

Also not samefag fag.

Literally viral marketing. World of Warcraft fans were up in arms when microtransactions were introduced into WoW. Blizzard had to hide behind casual features for the longest time, before introducing paid gold and character leveling.

That same company is behind this scheme, so anyone with common sense knows it will only get worse.

The game is dead in a month and it's popularity it was looking for it getting it nowhere, I looked on twitch before the launch people had really large view counts for every stream then as soon as the second hour set in everyone lost half their viewer count and more. So the game is 40$/60$ has the ability to buy loot crates, doesn't have any weapons for each class to use instead of their main one, was completely fueled on marketing, animations ect and also promises to make maps and new heros free along with only having 3 game modes and not of them being the one that separates overwatch from other FPS sorts and 12 maps in total.

The game will be dead half way through next month. Mark my words.

>>338718101
But TF2 has even more in it. Now don't think that I hate overwatch. Cause the game is fun and had a great time playing it. But it lacks too much content to be 40. Its a really really empty game overall.

And besides name a thing about overwatch that makes overwatch standout besides the graphics. I can't expect poor graphics from Blizzard. Look at the size of the company. Its not even comparable to smaller developers.

the first number is the series, so the 7 series in your case, the next two numbers are the model in that series, and the lower the model generally means lower performance.

your card has newer features because it comes from a newer series, but it doesn't have the same power because it's a lower performance card than the 460.

That's how nvidia works generally. It's a budget card that people only buy because they might want the new features instead of raw power.

I'm talking about the first person animations ya dunce

also gameplay and animation are INCREDIBLY linked but I know better than to discuss animation on /v/. Half of you use the words "buggy" or "clunky" to refer to poor animation without even realizing you're doing so.

Overwatch's first person animations are fantastic, tf2s are average but their age is really beginining to show. They look stale and weightless especially in that fucking source engine that does not support dynamic momentum when looking around in first person.

So many intricacies you children aren't aware of that make a first person experience have so much more weight and impact. In overwatch you can move your gun suddendly to the left and see the barrel point that way with your arms momentum for a brief moment. They have a blending system to combine your walking animation with your shooting and reloading animations. They have camera animation that simulates a head moving ever so slightly. Tf2 has none of this shit, fixed first person camera, no blending of animations, and the position of the arm and weapon models are entirely fixed no matter how hard to the left or right you look.

Shit

that makes no sense. Animation is independant of programming. You can have a gun shoot and tell it to remain static for 20 active frames or you can put an animation in there to make it look nice. Neither holds a bearing on coding or production before the animation stage.

the reality is that tf2 has bad animations and overwatch has good ones

I really don't know what sort of objective standard you feel the game should be based. It feels a lot like Team Fortress 2. It is silly, it has classes that can compliment each other in unique ways, and the matches are all objective based to some extent. The game runs well, and has options for newcomers and seasoned veterans in the form of more complicated characters. Plus since the beta, there doesn't seem to be one particular OP class.
>>
>>338721797
>I won't play the game just because the animations are good

understandable, the main point i was trying to raise is that animations are a very very large part of any game. I personally believe many other elements of overwatch are well done (the aesthetics, the easy-to-pick-up controls, the balance and focus on counter picking). The fantastic animations are just a big selling point to me because I realize how important they are.


I mean do you understand that good animation is actually 90% of the different between

https://youtu.be/-bAqqi4KpiQ

and this

https://youtu.be/NZafl__TXnQ

/v/ you really need to understand the importance of good animation and demand quality from the industry and realize when you're blessed with fantastic animations.

Please face the simple fact that Blizzard went for the feel-good solution here and simply opted for not showing any player stats in order to make horribly bad players feel like they're worth something.

Because the better the babies playing your game feel, the more likely the are to spend money on shit like skins, spraylogos and emotes.

Huh, because it's fresh and if you are interested? That's the only reason you need. Playing TF2 or any game you main for long periods can get boring.

So my honest Answer: Take a little break from TF2 and EXPERIENCE Overwatch or another game fresh game. When you're done go back to TF2, your main game. Also take some friends with you, but I'm sure your friends are already there.

Friends + Job(money to purchase games) + your weekend = enjoyment at the maximum.
