Overwatch has toppled all MOBAshit and now sits at 98 metacritic and is THE most watched game on twitch.
The critics love it, the viewers love it.
Overwatch has dragged the FPS scene kicking and screaming out of the CSGO hellhole and claimed its rightful spot at the top.
What went so fucking right?

Give me a platformer any day over the "dudebro" genre that is FPS.

Its 400k viewers on launch day.
The fact that it drop to 100k in a mere days of it launch isn't a good sign.
DaS3 have a steadier view in its first couple of days than this.
>>338788032
Check it in a week. Hype dies down fast.
Just like every other FPS
The character design is great. Even the ones that are edgy are fun to hate on, like Reaper.
it's really overwatched
the game has been out how many days?
of course it has high views.
and lol is several years old

not hard to have a steady view count when the only people watching your game are turbo autists from /v/
>>338788032
2016 is turning out to be a really weird year for video games. First, we get a resurgence of the single-player FPS with Doom, which turned out to be way better than anyone could have expected. Then, we get what is possibly the best multiplayer FPS ever made with Overwatch. Is 2016 going to be the year of the rebirth of FPS? Have we finally moved on from the same Call of Duty with a different subtitle every year?
>hiding Userscore
Nice try
>>338788453
This is what i was saying. both during the closed and Open Beta's it's view counts drop hard. even if you find the game fun to play it's not a very good 'streamer' game and it's stream counts drop to reflect that.
its a great game but unless the ranked mode is good, it wont have longevity. half the characters are shit too.
>>338788850
that's kinda the funny thing though. a single Ds3 ar streamer may pull about 2k, and an average Overwatch streamer is only pulling about 1.5k, there's just like 40 of them because it's the new fotm so it seems more impressive on the front page.
I really like the game, but the hype is gonna die down considerably in the next few days or weeks at most. Fags like summit and lirik and others are gonna find a new game to play, because people will watch them no matter what they play, and view numbers will be 6-7 times lower

Isn't Overwatch popular in Japan? Maybe this will spark interest in FPSes in Japan, which could be awesome. If it does popularize shooters in Japan, it could help PC gaming take off there because mouse and keyboard is clearly better for shooters. Which could mean more weebshit coming to PC. And it could mean Japanese game devs start making shooters with their own twists.
>>338789040
This, not to mention the quick play matchmaking is absolutely awful
Its like hots matchmaking, putting full pre-mades against randoms sometimes

DaS3 is a game about progression and people were discovering things on the first days while Overwatch is pretty much the same thing over and over, so you kinda see everything on day 1.

>>338789568
this is a year of a lot of shitty games, any new 'anything' tends to get attention for a bit.
>>338789610
in Overwatch's Case viewers. also drop hard. Most of the large amount of viewers to a single streamer, streamers for overwatch are just people like lirik/summit pulling their usual entourage.
We did it /v/!
We made Overwatch a success!
>>338789508
It has PvE mode at three difficulty levels if you don't feel like getting ass-raped repeatedly.
>Blizz actually thinks Widowmaker being able to bodyshot kill people with an shot that takes 1.5 seconds zoomed in to charge
Wew lad. TF2 is a casual fucking game and this brings the skill ceiling down even lower.
>>338789694
Yeah, but 75% of reviews are from people who have barely payed it and loved it just from hearing about it and people who heard someone call it the TF2 killer and instantly went to slap a big 0
Did you retards ever stop to consider that viewcounts are going down because more people are actually playin the game? Tell me you guys arent this retarded.
>>338789647
i wouldn't even call the ultimaete press q to win, rather 'Press Q to get some free kills even if you suck." the good players never need the ult to be good, it just lets them 'win more' and the bad players need the ult to look they even participated in anything.
>>338789858

>>338788032
I feel kind of bad. My brother really wanted me to play Battleborn with him today and even offered to buy me a copy, and I had to tell him that I really didn't like the Game when I was playing the beta. I'm not sure if I can sell him on Overwatch or not but I didn't want him wasting his money on buying me a game I was not going to enjoy.

Some ults are hard to use. There's been a few times where I didn't kill anybody but myself with D.Va's ultimate. I've also gotten up to a quintuple kill with it.
>2016
>falling for the "reviews" meme
I shiggy diggy blah blah whatever fuck it.
>>338790003
I have played the game. The zoom in charge on widowmaker takes no time at all compared to sniper in TF2, and does more damage reletive to character HP for body shots. Widowmaker can 1 shot Tracer with a body shot, Sniper can't do the same to Scout with a much longer charge of time to reach full power on his shot.
>>338790024
as long as it's a team objective game their laziness will consider it acceptable she gets a lot of kills, because kills alone don't guarantee a win.
>>338788610
I'd hesitate to call the characters designed. Maybe "assembled". Or "frankensteined".

>>338790003
Maybe you should try playing the game against something other than the AI, scrub. A good Widowmaker can lock down an area pretty well.
>>338788994

i'm not even into fps but i still think overwatch looks kinda rad. the hype might be justified

>>338790504
Of course she can lock down an area pretty well, what else should a sniper do?
Complaining that she can one shot body shot Tracer though is completely stupid. There's simply no excuse if you manage to get shot.
Here's the thing: pick Winston or D.va. Watch how you can put her out of the game so easily even if you don't kill her
>>338790638
kek
>>338790638
Not an argument. Widowmaker is way easier to play than Sniper in general. Because the charge up time is so short for her shots you can easily 2 shot most characters with body shots in the time it would take sniper to charge his shot once.
>>338790271
depends on the class 'role' pretty much every offense ult is basically a kill feed reward, Widows ult is partial team utility to offset how selfish her Playstyle is, Hanzo's is a kill feed because his arrows will not be as easy to shoot compared to widow for the average idiot player. Support ults are all support skills etc.
in lot of ways Hanzo probably illustrates the problem with the ults the best, a good Hanzo doesn't need the dragon in anyway to piss you the fuck off, but the million shitty ones will fire that thing through any random wall and you're gonna get gibbed at least once randomly, which is somehow as irritating.
>>338788032
Is it really worth the 90-115$ though? I thought it was going to be f2p for the longest time

>>338790970
>$115
Where did you get it so cheap? I had to pay $145
I wish it was F2P
>>338790914
Yeah, but unlike TF2, 3 classes make you useless, and the majority have a mobility skill. In TF2, the only mobility you generally need to worry about are a scout's double jumps and rocket jumps. AND a fully charged headshot can kill any class in TF2, unlike overwatch.
>>338790497
more like 'ok let's just take the tf2 sniper classic move set, ok we need a girl, so insert femme fatale archetype, add a spider reference, make some sort of dark comic booky origin, done"

>>338788032
They will not beat League again in the Twitch ranking come June 3rd, and probably will never out rank them again.

this is one of those things where vale tier conditional banter really helps flesh out characters, Overwatch is pretty lacking in the amount of this banter.

I don't understand what is there to watch in Overwatch. Game is kinda fun - not to my likings, since skill ceiling is kinda meh and it's really a team based game, but it's okay. Anyway, it brings nothing to a spectators, since gameplay always looks the same on every stream. Why even bother?
>>338788994
The game has no skill ceiling, almost every character has a skill that requires no skill or thought to use, except for maybe Genji, and Widowmaker.
-Mcree's flashbang + fan the hammer = instakill
-Hanzo ult is huge, and kills anything it's path. The only thing bad about it is that everyone can hear when he uses it. His arrows also hit a huge hitbox.
-Mercy requres no aim.
-Both Symmetra and Winton have auto-aim/tracking primary weapons, also Symmetra has turrets
-The dwarf has turrets
-Reinhardt has a giant melee weapon, that you have to look in the general vicinity of an opponent to hit
-Soldier 76's ult is basically aim-bot
-Mcree's ult kills anything in the open after a few seconds
-Pharah and Zarya's missiles have huge hitboxes
-Roadhog's chain + shotgun combo = instakill
-Lucario heals everyone in his vicinity
-Zen only needs to tag enemies and allies, and charge his balls to be effective
-Mei's freeze + Sniper pistol combo = instal-kill. She also can make herself invulnerable and heal at the same time
-Junkrat's explosive's and ult require no thought. He even has martyrdom
-Bastion is a turret that can mow down a tank within seconds, and he also has a moving/jumping tank ult
-Reaper's ult kills anyone in the vicinity
-D.va's ult clears out an entire area, one way or the other
-Tracer can rewind her position, healing her at the same time
>>338792996
So why did you list every skill in the game? Autism kicked in?
>>338788994
the difference is I uninstalled TF2 the same day I downloaded it. You would have to pay me to play TF2
>>338791934
Yes because non describe big bald Russian is so much more than being a big Russian character
Sure with Tracer and others they too use racial stereotypes but they give us something else in addition to the other stereotypes
I bought the game because I had extra money on a gift card. I think it could take off as the TF2 dota 2. If it doesn't become an esport, then I don't think it will last long.
@the guy who said it was skill less because u don't actually have to aim. Everyone is playing skill less heros making it balanced. The game would probably be more about positioning/team composition than mechanical twitch shooting skill.

A lot of people want to assert that based on LoL's success. The kicker, however, is that LoL's competitive scene is entirely subsidized by Riot and loses them a fair bit of money of their own admission.
Either you have to generate enough interest in your game to outright support your scene or your game has to be so astronomically successful (like LoL's early years) that you can afford to throw away money on what is essentially an advertising campaign.
I don't see either method viable for Blizzard given that their extremely thrifty CEO won't see the scene as a necessary cost.

Why would people want that? Japan FPS twist would be that it's even more waifufaggier than Overwatch.
Someone give me a good reason to drop 40 dollars on this game. I'm on the fence, but so far I've only seen criticism and all the positivity is just "wow I love my waifu!" or "it's super fun (with friends)!"

Yeah, Russian women are known for their short neon pink hair...
>>338807631
This. Even sc2 was doing beastly great for 1 or 2 years. Not it's deader that fucking smash bros.
Overwatch is fun but it will surely shrink big time in some months.
>>338807824
Seriously? That's the problem? The woman doesn't even go "die men!" or "all men must die" or anything "SJW" but because she has pink hair, that means she is SJW?
Fucking hell.
>>338807748
I asked about Overwatch and you bring up some irrelevant game comparison in your defense. Great job convincing me that the game is good though.Not.
>people comparing viewers before game came out with post launch viewer count
Everyone is playing the game niggers, give it a couple weeks to properly gauge it. Not everything flops like evolved and tortanic
>>338788032
Overwatch is ass.

Stop acting retarded and go to whatever SJW cavern you came from.

Tf2 sniper also has a full charge time of 3.3 seconds compared to widowmaker's 1 second charge time. Furthermore, the tf2 sniper has a 1.5 second delay between shots, whereas widowmaker can shoot very quickly after her initial shot.
The average overwatch character also moves significantly slower than a tf2 character which makes it even easier to hit them, and tank characters are incredibly easy to headshot.
Also, her ultimate charges incredibly fast, and is one of the strongest ultimates in the game.
I'd say that she's too strong right now.

>>338808069
You literally think that because one character has pink hair, that the game is 'SJW' and the reviews were boosted because of this 1 (ONE) character?
>irrelevant
No it wasn't. Battleborn has a character that literally goes 'Feminism rocks!" and has a LOWER Metacritic score of 72 (SEVENTY TWO) meaning your conspiracy theory that Overwatch was 'boosted' because of 'SJW' is so pathetic that I feel disgusted just typing a response to somebody with such shit reasoning skills.
>>338808164
Wonderful argument. Top work. Don't reply, don't want you to have a stroke trying to type out an actual argument with evidence to support your theory. I would feel bad if you died.
>>338808652
Yes we get it, you're a woman and you feel so very discriminated, now fuck off.
>>338808126
>Tortanic
How is that a flop? It's still got a player base, it still making money, it's getting an expansion soon. That is, by definition, not a 'flop'. It's also the mark on /v/'s map when it turned to utter, unredeemable, shit.
>>338808703
Pathetic. Have another (You), since you're greedy.
>>338788994
#of players: 24. seems accurate for modern tf2
>>338808652
I didn't ask about fucking Battleborn you dimwitted twat. I asked about Overwatch. You are the stupid faggot that keeps bringing up some irrelevant game that has nothing to do with this game in hopes of justifying whatever this game is doing. Are you even sure you're replying to the right person?
I asked if Overwatch is good, so far I've had no explanations at all other than a sarcastic quip mocking the game. For a game with 98 metascore, people sure are finding it hard to list any positives about the game.
>>338808652
>sjw mad about a character being an sjw
What a world we live in
>>338808716
It's a flop because everything it said it claimed to be was all a hoax.
All that money they put into it just to have the most abysmal animations and awful writing.
It's enough to be considered a flop when NGE SWG was infinitely more enjoyable than it.
>>338808652
Just so you know, the Feminism line by OM is actually mocking feminism. But you wouldn't care about context if it slapped you in the face, would you?
Its so fucking easy to spot boght reviews these days:
Overwatch has barely content.
This alone should trigger a shitton of complains about the game itelf because Star Wars Battlefront had marginal content and surprise surprise it was smahsed for it
Splatoon had not much content a d got 81 BUT they actually delivered a shitton of content and all this for 40 bucks
Now Overwatch is released for 60+ and somehow people give it an perfect score
Reminder that the only retards mad at the game are kids and neets that don't have $40.
>>338808929
You didn't ask anything about Overwatch. I replied to two posts. I think you're replying to the wrong person. The two posts I replied to are:
>>338807458
And
>>338807564
There is nothing in there about "I asked about Overwatched". I literally replied to one person who said "it has feminism and memes" and to another person who said "oh so that's why it got good reviews cuz sexist xDDD"

>overwildstar

it's literally TORTANIC 2.0. this game will be f2p within 6 months, and completely dead within a year. blizzard is already marking down the console versions because stores can't sell the copies they have.
we are witnessing the biggest blunder in gaming history, and the death of blizzard.

How can you not spell "embarrassing"? And furthermore, why the hell don't you have a dictionary plugin to make sure you don't do incorrect spellings?

Wow thanks for that info m8. Here I was thinking that the advertising on the tube was directed at teenagers. Now I know it was really directed towards not teenagers and people with jobs!

>Barely any content
Team Fortress 2 launched with 3 gamemodes, 6 maps and 10 characters. Its launch price was $49.95
Overwatch launched with 4 gamemodes, 13 maps and and 21 characters. Its launch price is $40
Team Fortress 2 never got more characters, Overwatch is getting more.
Was trying to find a reason for buying a GPU but all I play is smite which runs on integrated. This looks fun but I hated playing cs go with mouse + keyboard.
>>338788032
I applaud the game for the fap material but I hate mobas. Is this the end of quality single player games now that everything is an ADD team sock em bopper game? There's this, paragon, battleborn and some other shit game all coming out together.
>>338807748
>Battleborn literally has a character that goes "THIS JUST IN, FEMINISM ROCKS!"
To be fair, he only says this after killing female characters.
>>338789349
yeah and out of the park baseball is the highest rated game of all time. i'd rather trust user reviews

You couldn't afford it either, so you had your parents buy it for you.

>>338809895
This is my first Blizzard game. If they ruin it then I'll chalk it up to experience and put them on the shitlist.

>>338789223
After Splatoon's massive popularity i can definitely see this happening.
>>338810118
This.. and now people have given them millions again. This new generation is full of retards. Whether a game is good or bad doesn't even matter anymore, you just have to do the right marketing on release and all these retarded children will buy it.
Overwatch is literally Overstrike if they didn't turn it into a cowadooty clone
>>338788690

>>338789349
They need to make that only people who owns the game can make a comment.

That is pretty much how things sold to children work.
>>338809405

Cmon man
It's only at the top while attentionwhore variety streamers are playing it.
I'll ask again. What makes this game good? How much longevity does it have?
If I buy it, can I expect to play it at least as long as I played TF2, which is 5 years?
>>338809762
You have to understand. I'm not a 15 year old anymore. All that shit looks the same at 30.
>getting beaten by memestone
HAHAHHAHA
>>338788032
>the viewers love it.
And? I don't really understand why people care about twitch popularity. Don't get ne wrong I don't dislike the game, I just don't understand why I should give a shit about that in particular. I'm not an autistic child that spends his allowance tipping twitch streamers in the hopes of getting a thanks.
>>338810935
It will probably be a couple years if Blizzard commits to supporting it. SC2 was strong for like 3 years before the esports scene died.
>>338810935
Blizzard have made a lot of noise about how they're putting out a bunch of new content this "season" for free, as in new heroes/maps/game modes etc. Though the only one we know for certain is that there's competitive coming out soon.
I don't see it having the longetivity of TF2 though, simply due to the lack of player driven content currently. That can change, and I think the game will continue to find new audiences as the price inevitably drops. I wouldn't recommend getting it on consoles if you want longevity though, this will be a release slanted towards PC.
>>338790218
Honestly it was the only thing that ever would have.
Was anyone surprised it would be another meme game?
I mean did anyone really expect an actually great game to replace League?
Still no play of the game or epic commendations despite killing it as Mercy even though I fucking hate playing support. Been fiddling around with all the classes despite my teams occasionally forcing me to play roles I suck at. When will Igit gud?Overall, it has been a very disheartening experience.
dark souls 3 overtook league day 1, too.
A game isn't a success because it sells a lot of copies (though that's the definition of success of a single player game), it's a success if it can stay alive, and keep people watching and playing and buying content.
League does that. 7 years later it still has on average 50,000 people watching it, if not more. Overwatch, during the betas had less than 2000 most days.
Week 2 is when we'll see. I hope it succeeds though, the game is pretty fun. The longer it goes, the easier the transition will be for F2P for them.
>>338811174
>>338811206
I see. You answered some queries about the longevity, but how is the game right now in regards of content? Also, nobody so far has answered the question about what makes the game good. I see a lot of buzz, but nobody ever seems to respond to this question.
>>338788909
Maybe. But honestly I'm sad because we'll just go back to "FPS rules all" and every company is gonna want to make more FPS. We were just starting to get out of that heap and now we're going right back into it.
Would rather some actually different genres become popular so we can see some new styles of gameplay for once in a decade.
>>338789674
>using the mic
>informing team mates of Bastion's location
>Rockets and friendly fire raining down on him.
Feels good.
>>338811509
It has a handful of maps (6 or 7?) and like 3 game modes.
the "content" isn't really there, it's designed as a competitive game. You learn the maps and play a small number, like SC or CSgo.
>>338811509
DESU its not a lot of content. You have your heros and you play the same 2 modes on the same 5 maps.
Until we know how competitive will work, we won't know if it will function well as an esport. It's not like TF2 where you can make your own server and just have fun doing random things. The esports will make or break the game.
It's sorta like a moba, people play the same heros over and over on 1 map, but the interactions between different heros gives it enough variety to be enjoyable to play for 1000's of hours. If you don't enjoy mobas, you probably wouldn't like overwatch.
>>338788032
>OW kids
cute
>>338811427
The only way to get PotG as Mercy is by getting multiple revives at once.
Think of it as a reverse multi-kill.
In other words, it's impossible to get unless your teammates all get destroyed while you somehow survive.
>>338811823
This autist in the pic hasn't proven that the game is deep or actually has balance. He's just splurging over his momentary favorite game. Sounds like "OMG new game" feel written all over it. This kid probably has 100 games that each only has 5 hours played. I'm almost certain his and many others opinion will die in a week or two.
>>338810869
The price of the base game is $40. It's the "Origins Edition" with all the digital preorder bullshit that's $60.
>>338790181
Literally Blizzard love the reviewers... Why do reviewers eat Blizzard's ass so willingly?
