Why do we hate it?
It's popular and over hyped
Does anyone hate it?
I just figured that it was so bland that having any feelings towards it at all is just a waste of energy.
It's boring and lacking inspiration, but not really insulting.
Money sacrifice to high.
I GOT enough on my plate as it is.
Everyone loves it and the only people who "hate" it (because no one who's played it hates it) are too poor to afford it and just want to feel like they're better than millions of people having fun playing what is, for all intents of purposes, 2016's game of the Year.
>>338813113
>Overrated as fuck
>People think this game has depth
>people think this will not die/get boring after 1 month
Meh , a lot of shitposting tho maybe that is why
Becuase we're paid by Gearbox to not touch it
I am part of 'we' and I don't hate it therefore 'we' don't hate it. QED.
>>338813113
shit tickrate
tf2 knockoff
low skill ceiling
Why would I hate it?, that's retarded, I think it is bland and boring though.
>>338813113
Eat shit?
It is shit
>>338813113
Who is this "we"
game is dead already. even memestone has more viewers. Been laughing at all my friends for buying into the hype. Idiots, theyre just as stupid as Apple fanboys.
>>338814340
Oh yes Anon, you clearly know everything about the game's future.you fucking faggot.
I just dont like it.
Low skill clusterfuck with lame "superpowers".
Ive played the beta. The game bored me after an hour.
I just.... CAN'T get into it.
I just cant.
Note, im totally crazy about Quake games, Dooms, Battlefields or TF2.
But this..... this just sucks.
It doesnt have depth at all, yet some people are acting like its the best "storyline" ever.
What fucking storyline?
BAKA
>>338813113
>we
Nice try Battleborn
>>338814340
>memestone has more viewers
Yes, a videogame's success and quality is based on how many viewers it has.
Jesus fuck.
>>338814462
Actually I do. You'll see it yourself. Nobody is going to play this game anymore in two weeks, guaranteed.
>>338813265
Don't you mean over WATCHED xDddd
>>338814636
>Yes, a videogame's success and quality is based on how many viewers it has.
That's what all the HoS shills said. You idiots are worse than ISIS for still supporting a shit company like Blizzard.
>>338814735
I'm just here waiting for hearts of iron 4.
I found the comment shallow and pedantic.
>>338814636
it can serve as a gauge for insubstantial hype though. thats why people keep mentoning it.
>>338813113
because I'm medicore at it and not a mlg god I was expecting to be
I hope a pack of niggers does a driveby on the overwatch servers. CEO of neo-blizzard deserves to be shaking in fear at the loss of profits
>>338814593
same as you except that I fucking love the game and love the fact that you have to coordinate with your team to play effectively.
I've already seen people start trying out different team attack patterns.
>>338814340
Viewers?
What viewers?
You mean players?
>>338814340
So let me get this straight...
Your friends are all having a fun time playing a game together and being social while you sit here, laughing, posting on 4chan.
I see.
Yes, your friends definitely are the idiots here.
>>338813113
It's just boring. All the characters do the same thing; even if they have different abilities, you almost always just march up to the point and depending on your hero picks, get stomped or stand around while they respawn.
I honestly wanted a game to replace TF2, and I simply don't have nearly as much fun with this one. Also the community is complete and utter shite, it's just tryhards who complain about X hero being overpowered, and getting salty in chat. The reddit users are even worse, it's such a fucking stupid circlejerk over this overhyped game there.
Also microtransactions, seems like a bit much for a game I already paid $40 for. If there were actually more content, that would be one thing, but there's nothing here. I seriously hope they give the other heroes for free, because for $40, the bulk of the content in this game is just character sprays.
>>338815040
>Your friends are all having a fun time playing a game together and being social while you sit here, laughing, posting on 4chan.
Well I'm on Teamspeak playing other games while I hear them screaming about some characters being OP and randoms being retarded... yeah, so much fun.
The NEETs here can't afford it. That's literally it.
it was the biggest hyped game on /v/ until the news came out that it won't be free to play. It's so funny when you think about it.
>>338813113
>nu-Blizzard
That's all the reason you need. Oh, and the 20 ticks.
>>338813113
Don't hate it. It's just boring after a while.
>2 game modes.
>Capture this point.
>Escort this thing.
>A combination of the two.
Weekly brawl is just a broken mess this week.
Character balancing was not done after open beta for some retarded reason. Obviously zenyatta and Dva's roles can be better played by other characters, but no balances were made.
I bought it, but it's really just a casual time-waster whenever I just want to dick around a little bit. Otherwise I'm still playing freaking Skyrim modded to hell along with some backlogged games.
Then again, this is /v/, no one here likes anything (excluding BB apparently). Especially when it becomes popular or hyped.
>>338814991
The beta i played was a total, complete clusterfuck with people running around alone doing fuck all.
I dont expect the retail will be any different.
And no, im not interested in playing only with friends. This isnt WoW.
>>338815337
>The NEETs here can't afford it.
who the fuck can't afford spending 40€? Are you living in a third world country that you actually can bragg about buying Overwatch? Top fucking kek.
Click on catalog.

ayyyyyy
I will never understand why are people still playing this utterly empty game.
>hurr durr mods with tits in HD.
Sad.
>>338815385
>Casual time waster
This is exactly why I bought it. Pick up and play, Quick matches. I never thought it was a title that anyone should get too heavily invested in.
>>338815758
The game doesnt feel worth 60$.
It plays like a free game with "bundles" for a few $.
Wanting full 60$ price like for an AAA game for this shit is just a joke.
I dont hate it, im just afraid if what video games are becoming.
Overwatch, battleborn, dota, lol, mobas, moble games, f2p, early access, microtransactions, dlc 'season packs', episodic games, esports, twitch, pay-2-view lets playd/streams, hearthstone, evo, espn esports section and broadcasting, announcers
Am i getting old
>>338815385
>Obviously zenyatta and Dva's roles can be better played by other characters, but no balances were made.
This is something I really hate. Characters like Dva are just not thought through. She is a tank that can't tank, She has high health but a huge brit box so basically has low health, only has one movement ability yet is slow as fuck all the rest of the time and guns with no range. There is no point playing her as a tank or as a harasser
I also hate how heavy counterpicking is. If you chose the wrong class no amount of skill can overcome some situations. At best you can press Q if you have it.
>>338813113
Blizzard
Overmarketed
Underwhelming
Exactly Blizzard in 1998+18
>>338815932
It's 40$ though.
>>338813113
Too blatant propaganda for my liking.
Also annoying shills everywhere that are not even trying to hide they're shilling.
Tfags 2 being angry again.
>>338813113
Mostly the fact it's a shallow, average game propped up by a quadrillion dollars campaign and literally the worst rabid fanbase of internet.
Hell I even saw posters of OW on a bus in my city.
>>338816040
only on pc. the majority of purchases will be on consoles, so.. no, it isnt 40$.
>>338813113
i can't see longevity on this
Game gets boring really quick.
Would you fug Mercy?
The top post on the overwatch subreddit at this very moment is about how a literal retard can finally play a game well.
>>338815019
He's born in 2000 and thinks that Twitch viewers = how many players
>>338815932
The game is 40$ on PC tho.
Must feel bad to be a console cuck.
I don't really like any MOBA shooters or MOBAs in general, and Overwatch is no exception
It was fun for a few hours, yes, but almost immediately lost its charm
All I care about anymore is the porn
It is dead on Twitch
RIP
>>338815256
You understand that's the reaction one might have in any Fps ever, right?
Wow you're dense.
>>338816040
Still not worth it.
It should cost 7,99$.
Seriously, people, holy fuck. Look at what games have become.
Moba. Dota. Micro transactions. Bundle/skin bullshit.
It just pisses me off.
EVERYTHING ABOUT OVERWATCH stinks of a free-2-play game, yet they want full price for this shit.
No one will be playing it in 1 month.
I dunno, bro, the entire pathetic state of modern gaming industry is just pissing me off.
A few years ago i was happy buying new games--- now every time i think about buying one im getting a feeling im being ripped off and treated like a retard.
>>338816709
>viewers > players
What?
>>338814340
Why have people been spouting IT HAS LOW VIEWS NOW HUEHUEHUE?
I mean isn't it to be expected that it has lower views now that people are playing it and not watching?
>>338816640
Im a PC master race.
When i click "buy" it goes to a screen with the Special Edition worth 60$. Didnt see the cheaper version.
>>338813113
>no overwatch vs tf2 game
feels bad man
>>338816696
"Moba"
First line and you couldn't keep an argument going without fucking it up in the first few words.
>We
>Blizzard<
>>338816929
You must be blind or retarded. Maybe both.
I don't hate it, I just don't care about it either
>>338817127
I guess im a jew for not wanting to spend 40$ on this lazy excuse of an FPS.
No one will be playing this in a month.
>>338816998
How is it not a MOBA shooter?
>class based with different archetypes
>small teams battle in an arena
>objective-based gameplay
It's all well and good if you like it, but it's still a MOBA shooter
>>338816204
Overwatch has no chance of ever being as big as TF2, and it's just going to die twice as fast.
>>338816832
You were just a child without any sense of criticism.
There is still good games that are coming out.
Tbh i think Overwatch is one of them but i'd understand why would people think it should free. Then again i poured hundred of hours in tf2, i don't mind paying 40$ for at least 1/3 of that.
>>338817267
because it's a class based team shooter
>>338817225
Moving the goalpost.
You could have just said 'I'm not interested" and leave the thread. But no :"Shit post i must, wherever i go"
people that hate it are all friendless bronies and cant afford a $40 game
>>338813113
It's an ok game, but would have rolled under the radar if it wasn't for Blizzard overhype marketing.
Not really a lot of variety and you can get bored easily of the game after a few hours
Also a bit personal but I'm just unhappy with the fact that it basically ripped half the cast from Super Monday Night Combat
>>338817267
It's a FPS. Just like TF2 is. There is not even half the mechanics that what makes a game a Moba.
>>338813504
>people think this will not die/get boring after 1 month
That sounds like a fair amount of time for a $40 game.
>>338817323
Being younger doesnt change the fact you didnt buy 10% of a finished game for 60$ and then had to buy 12 bundles of DLC's 20$ each to have a playable game after 2 years.
I guess being ripped off and treated like a moron doesnt suit me.
Some people dont seem to mind being treated like retards.
One of the reasons i wont buy this moba shit.
Witcher was worth the price, for example. You felt is a COMPLETE game, and you get DLC's for free.
That's how you do it.
>>338817267
I guess you were born in 2000 or something since class-based shooters have been around as long as quake.
Game sucks major ass by the way, but it works as a great containment zone for these modern gamer babies
>>338817462
Whatever it is, I'm not really a fan of it or anything like it
Not to say other people can't like it. It just doesn't interest me
Blizz is a giant pile of shit.
Off topic but I don't get why most people hate mobas? They're fun to play, specially with friends. Plus Dota 2 is entirely free, besides from cosmetic items.
>>338813113
It's a FPS for people who don't like/play FPS.

people simply don't care or like them, but the fanbases are very in your face about the game and companies keep trying to appeal to that auidence
BR CYKA poorfags /v/alvedrones hate it because it's $40. Keeps the trash out.
>>338815256
How autistic are you? Are you that one """friend""" who hangs out on teamspeak that nobody really likes but everyone is too polite to tell him to fuck off and never come back? Because it sounds like you are.
>>338813113
>we
lol
Anyway, it's because it's going to make a shit ton of money. It's going to be popular and other companies are going to mimic it. Blizzard tends to leave a large wake when it enters markets. Changes come to other games even when Blizzard doesn't take over. Their designs ultimately get adopted elsewhere.
"we" fear change. Change is bad. Change means having to learn again.
>>338818372

Thank you for your continued support, Rakim.

We hate its fanbase
Most people don't want to talk about the game because it does not interest them, but the 20+ threads every 30 minutes are just getting annoying
No private servers
No modding so blizzard cant microtransaction the shit out of people
>>338818450
It's FotM and will go away soon
The only game /v/ never shuts the fuck up about is Dark Souls
>>338817726
seriously, i hate all these poor fags that think $40 should entertain them for heir whole lives, i have been in plenty of places where i pay way more than $40 for a day of entertainment...
>>338818567
Shilling pays that well?
Let's be honest porn of waifus is the only reason anybody gives a shit about Overwatch
le /v/ is le same person xDDD
>>338818567
You get zero entertainment out of your $40 investment with this game though
Does this game have any sort of player base outside of the US? It could just be a problem with hours.
It's obnoxiously tumblresque.
>>338818535
It'll never go away
The marketing budget was too big and the push towards the >esportsscene is simply too huge for it to not become one of the most popular games to ever grace the earth
>popular game
>made by blizzard
>microtransactions
Only true answer. /thread me and eat a bullet
>>338813113
How much do shills earn when shilling this pile of shit on /v/?
I don't, bitter third worlders who can't afford it do.
>>338818372
Battleborn's actually not bad, and I'm having fun with friends. I also agree on the paywall. It keeps the HUEHUEHUE and 10 year olds out, which fucking killed TF2 for me after it went F2P.
>>338818183
Go away, dude.
>>338818752
>grace
You mean plague
>>338818567
But I tried the beta and was bored after 2 hours, the game has no depth to it and even that 2 hours was just okay
There a lots of games that for much less I can get several hours of entertainment that I enjoy all of
>>338818752
Dude I saw the 'esports' shit early today.
It is fucking. Awful. But, like you said, if anyone can throw millions of dollars at it and make it 'successful' it's Blizzard.
But Jesus FUCKING Christ is it retarded to watch as an 'E-Sport'. It's simply completely uninteresting.
I don't even know why I play it.
You get everything the game has the offer by ten hours, yet including beta I've sunk well over a hundred into it and I just keep playing
but why
>We
Anyway, I enjoy it completely and I've already got my moneys worth of entertainment out of it.
It still has its share of problems but I'm optimistic for the games future.
You need friends to play it.
ded game
if only it had more ticks and was $20 cheaper ($40)
>>338813113
I have literally no care either way.
It looks like another TF2/CoD style FPS, why does anyone care?
>>338818852
>>338818852
If your friends play this kind of garbage, you need new friends
>>338818835
i was the same way with the beta, i got bored after <2 hours but i fell for the shills here on /v/ and purchased it. Since the release i have played 6 hours and loving every minute of it.
>well played shills
>>338818819
We have better esports scene than le Overboner.
>>338818852
Pubs are surprisingly ok actually.
>>338818691
dumb capsicum
>>338818567
you overpaid for your entertainment for a single say too, tourist
>>338818752
It isn't going to be esports
The game has zero depth so it means that there is no real meta to grow outside of what heroes are useless
Watching the game isn't great because is is often very messy, unclear who is doing what and if the team is getting anywhere. often gets into very dull stalemates as well where if just becomes a meat grinder
>>338818567
I have a full time job and could easily afford buying Overshill. But I won't. The game is fun for 3 days. after that the game suffers of that usual Neo-Blizzard control obsession that demands you play the game exactly as they wanted with little room to differ. It makes the game become bland and boring very fast.
Plus throwing money at publishers when they create mediocre games is exactly why the video game industry sucks so much at the moment. They can create polished turds and they know they will have an army of tools ready to eat it regardless.
>>338818852
Do you really? Can't you just join some random "normies"?
You can tell it is bad cause no one ever talks about the gameplay in a positive way outside of "it's great guys you just don't get it"
The game just has nothing going on, there is fuck all to discuss with characters cause what they do is very obvious and what to counter them with is as simple. Outside that there is no choices to make and the barest of strategy that is usually just run around a different way
>>338818183
For me matches take way too long, you actually do have to invest quite a bit of time into them to be reasonably proficient with builds/items/gameplay, and the player base takes the shit way too seriously.
>>338819065
Yeah this game is literally HOTS in 3D with guns. The idea it could be competitive with such a low skill ceiling is laughable.
>>338819060
disneyland is pricey but i gotta keep the girl happy
>>338819156
Somewhat. I'm playing with just one friend right now. Pubs range from good to pure shit because people will just play whatever they want and refuse to change. I had a game where we lost because we had three tracers who couldn't do shit.
Another round I had a mercy that was only using the pistol, never healing anyone
>>338813474
Pretty much this. Up until the free beta-weekend I also thought of it like an overpriced TF2 with abilities. My god was I wrong. Playing Lucio is the SHIT
>>338815989
I've been spending some time trying to learn D.va and have been having a lot of success using her to fly into the back line or into corridors I know flankers and snipers use, getting in close to wreck then retreating. Anything other than these tactics has been a disaster. She's really just reaper with a harder to use ult that's easier to get away from as it is though.
>>338817315

It is the GOTYAY
>>338819195

>>338819290
Everyone should get to play what the want, Anon. Everyone should get to feel heroic. Overwatch is supposed to be a safe space, remember.
>>338819334
People have had the beta for ages and even then they didn't develop shit, because there is nothing to develop
With most competitive games you can at least see where stuff is sort of going to go at the start, with this the most you can see is some characters just aren't worth playing
>>338818567
>I'm a fucking idiot with my money, hey guys look at me I spent $500 on my dinner
Gee pal I'm so jealous.
>>338819367
At some point you need to be a team player and switch to another character if you want to win. Healers are fucking far and few between.
Winning is almost a sure thing with a good healslut
>low skill ceiling
explain yourself
>>338819412
The pros do have that but it's not like they are on 4chan. I don't really understand you you're being extremely unclear

It was ironic.
>>338819432
He was being sarcastic you fucknut
>>338819140
It's people like you why /v/ is treated like shit. You force your opinions as facts. I could say the same thing you did about DS3, TW3, etc.
No, it's fun for you for 3 days. It's funny because I bought games praised as amazing like The Witcher 3 and couldn't get into it, stopped at 5 hours in out of sheer boredom. Yet I put hundreds of ours into Red Dragon, New Vegas, and probably this game too.
It's personal taste. I can't stand TF2 or Dota 2 anymore, but people still play those every day of the week.
I'll still get more hours out of this than Dark Souls 3 which cost $20 more, but Dark Souls 3 is still better than OW. Different games do different things.
I'm having fun with it
>>338819751
UNACCEPTABRE
>>338819213
> For me matches take way too long
You can still win even if you're fountain-farmed by your opponents by the comeback/rubberband mechanics. Unless you're talking about games with Techies on it, expect 4 hours. Seriously, fuck techies.
>you actually do have to invest quite a bit of time into them to be reasonably proficient with builds/items/gameplay
Valve really needs to improve this, the other functions of the client are fine except for "Learn" which is fucking useless and abandoned by devs.
>and the player base takes the shit way too seriously.
Mostly on Solo MMR. They might go full autistic when they can't finish a quest from the compendium because "muh hats"
>>338813308
Yeah, this is exactly how I feel. After the Beta I just completely forgot it exists.
IF IM HAVING FUN ITS GOOOOD xDDD
>>338819797
s-sorry
>>338819840
errr....
>>338815256
Are you fucked? Leave your 'Friends' be to enjoy their game. They probably shit all over you when you're not creeping on their game sessions.
>>338819751
>>338819572
YEA WELL U WONT HAVE FUN WITH IT FOR MORE THAN 200 HOURS AHAHAHAH FUK U WASTED 40 DOLLARS!!!!
TIME TO GO WASTE ANOTHER 1000 HOURS OF MY LIFE IN DOTA 2 RAGING IN RANKED
A-AT LEAST IT'S FREE AND CALMS MY AUTISM
>>338819953
But Dota is a better game in almost every way, so your autistic fit doesn't even make sense.
>when you get most of the commends after aimbotting
I changed my mind this game is comfy
Where did the blizzshills come from
Because I can't actually use half the cast in pubs because everyone wants to run around randomly with DIE DIE DIEEEE
My only problem is that there's no map creation tools so everyones stuck on the same 8 or so maps. I'm sick to death of tf2 by now and wish overwatch could have a shit ton of maps like tf2 and counter strike
>>338820021
The only thing that stops the monotony is the constant patches
It suffers from everything OW does except it's more complex and has a big esports scene(full of faggotry)
>>338813113
>we
Bullshit aside, game just feels meh overall.
Gunplay feels floaty.
Guns doesn't have the same feeling as using real guns, but rather feels like using nerf guns or those cheap water guns. Can't exactly pinpoint the spot but sound effects is one of them.
All the Maps have bad design.
Game is only enjoyable for 5-20 minutes.
Characters are not so memorable for me in game, outside from their appearance. They don't quite interact each other and the environment that well.
No custom maps and servers.
Maximum of 12 people per game. This is a big deal for me because back when I heard the game during its early development, I was thinking that the game can support more than 12 people per game, just like with other shooters like TF2. The moment I tried the beta, I was disappointed. I know Blizzard made the game around the 12 people idea but for me, it wasn't a good idea. It made me think that A.) They made the game to please E-sport fans/players and B.) They are shooting themselves for no Goddamn reason.
>>338820186
>Game with absolutely no depth and complexity is as monotonous as game with absurd amount of depth and complexity
That doesn't make sense. If Dota is monotonous to you, Overwatch will be ten times as monotonous. It's a game made to be picked up instantly, by everyone, you might see some advanced plays at the highest levels of play, but there's literally no room to grow beyond shoot better and position yourself better. I can't even imagine the amount of content they'll need to put out, to retain at least some kind of a community 6 months in.
>>338820162
Most of tf2's maps are shit though.
>>338813113
I wouldn't call it exactly hate, rather reaction to aggressive marketing of an otherwise unexceptional TF2 clone.
Guys I don't have any friends that play the game should I buy it??
>>338820482
Have you ever thought that maybe people exist who don't want to pour thousands of hours into Dota 2 or LoL. Just like you find Overwatch boring, bland, and a chore to play, people feel that way about mobas.
I'd rather play Overwatch than Dota 2. I put 2500 hours into it and it makes me bored to tears just opening the client.
Maybe Overwatch will only last me a few hundred hours, that's life. It's great that you can keep pouring time into Dota 2. I can't, along with other people.
I cannot tell you how many games I've bought that I liked, even loved, but simply cannot stand to play anymore. I'm not at the point in my life where I can play Dota for 6-12 hours straight loving every second like I did when I was 20. My wrists also can't take it anymore
Dunno why /v/ desperately wants to pretend "we" hate it.
Its clear a very, very large number of people here bought it and enjoy it.
The critics love it.
Every other corner of the internet loves it.
It just seems to be another case of a few vocal /v/irgins hating a game because it's popular and made by a AAA dev.
I was looking at some of the lower reviews on metacritic.
>10/10 Battleborn
>X/10 Order 1886 where X is anything but 0
>1/10 Stanley Parable
Even if this guy had never rated overwatch I'd be seriously concerned about his taste in games.

Obnoxious player base. If it's a singleplayer game it doesn't matter but in a multiplayer game it's a fucking death sentence.
Played the beta, wasn't impressed, and now people aren't playing but posting waifu shit on /v/, meaning you should drop it dead faster than an American school kid.
>>338821090
I've honestly yet to come across a multiplayer game with a good community
Overmeme congratulates sperglings for button presses. No ammopacks means endless spam + maps are chokey as fuck. Characters unbalanced and squishy as sacks. I'm not sure why anyone likes it.
I hate it cuz my school bullies and normiefriends like it :^)
>>338821149
Doesn't have to be, just have to not be complete and total cancer. Even Dota 2 have a better community than Overwatch.

>Even Dota 2 have a better community than Overwatch.
Overwatch community must be pretty fucking shit for someone to say this
>>338813113
Because its popular, i guess, and thats what /v/ does with every major release.
I really dont get it, to be honest. Whats the big difference between this and TF2 thats gonna kill overwatch in a couple of months while TF2 is still alive after years?
>>338813113
>OVERWATCH releases
>suddenly WAAAAAAY less overwatch threads
>suddenly /v/ hates it
Did i fall for the shilling and bought the game for nothing !?!?
I like this game a whole lot. Already spent 12 hours on it since launch, planning on playing more when I get off work.
With that said, I understand why some people don't like it and I understand that it's been getting a lot of threads (including those annoying threads that are basically just porn threads). I get why there's some hate for it.
>>338821839
It's almost like people are playing the damn game they bought and have less time to post on /v/ about how they're waiting for it.
>>338813113
I hate it because it's a piece of shit in every sense of the word in the technical aspect.
>shit and unchangeable FoV
>that tick rate
>mouse acceleration on and can't be turned off
>no private servers
That kind of shit is an instant turn-off for me and I refuse to touch this game because of it and that's not even talking about the actual gameplay.
>>338823513
>shit and unchangeable FoV
>mouse acceleration on and can't be turned off
Both of these are blatantly false.
No listed dedicated servers, only 6v6 play, a lot of heroes are horrible unbalanced, community is allready trash and because every website i go to is just covered with Overwatch crap to the point it makes me wanna puke.
>>338823549
Not from what I've heard and I'm not paying money to find out if it's false or not and that still doesn't fix the tick rate and shallow gameplay.
>>338813113
It's mechanically shallow and has no private servers.
I can smell it's shelf life from here, and don't want to waste money on it since I know the hallmarks of a game that will die prematurely like the back of my hand by now.
It's also too expensive.
>TF2 with Tits

I would enjoy and play this game if Blizzard actually knew how to make a PC shootan gaem, but they don't.
>>338819634
What he said is the truth
There is only one way to play the game
That alone kills the replay value
So if you play with every hero you know all the game. There is nothing to learn.
This is why is going to be stale quick and why a lot of people already got bored.
>>338818183
You're fucking retarded.
>>338815256
Kill your self please
>>338823772
There's the damage control. The open beta was enough for me to discern whether the gameplay was worth the money but shit like the tick rate and lack of dedicated servers ensured I would not pay even the lowest price. Enjoy that $.03 Blizzard deposited to your bank account for defending their newest abortion, friend.
>>338813113
We don't, we [retty much love it.
>tfw those brief moments when you get 100% in the zone as the character you're using and start killing people left and right.
>>338818445

>>338813113
It's made by Blizzard. Blizzard is a villain company now. If the exact same game with no changes was made by an unknown developer, there would be nobody hating it.

scout doesn't have machine guns, two or even one kind of teleportation mediocre movement speed or a grenade.
>>338813113
I played the overwatch open beta. I was entertained the first day, second day not so much, and on third day I was already bored. Game is way overhyped.

You should have fucking known
Blizzard is shit at balance.
So what actual skill is there to the game once you have learnt each character's moves and have an understand of the maps?

>>338824361
Some kind anon told me last night that you haven't hit the kill ceiling until you have 100% accuracy, so have fun good luck.
>>338824274

>both are hungry skultans

>both do insane damage at close range with good aim
Except she's a poor parody of what the scout is with no actual personality.
>>338824361
I don't understand, how is learning how to utilize each characters skills to thier maximum and learning the nooks and crannies of the map not skillful?
>>338824308
I have no idea what the fuck they were thinking with the ability cooldown and ultimate gain rate. I roll Reinhardt and can get an earthshatter every 15-30 seconds as long as I spam the enemy team
>>338818846
People Play CSGO, Dota 2, and league of legends for years, despite there only being a certain amount of heroes and maps and weapons.
That's the great thing about overwatch, it gives you everything upfront, no carrot on a stick.
so you playing it for a long time must mean that you are enjoying the game itself
>>338824482
you're missing something Pal.
>1 Tracer taunt made a War
>>338813113
It's overly casual with a low skill ceiling, fun for a while but quickly becomes boring. Suffers from balance problems and design flaws.
It also lacks basic things that have been in games for decades like a fucking sever browser and private servers.
>>338824519
Cause it is very easy to figure out both, especially the abilities because they have very direct purpose without much leeway. You can figure out nearly everything to do with a character in less than a game
>>338824482
>speedster classes are not fat hambeasts what a ripoff
>all TF2 characters have quirky accents, and scouts is the least quirky of them all
>speedster classes are hard to hit
>speedster classes deal high close range burst damage, as opposed to being fucking uncatchable AND having sniping powers
also they both have two legs and speak english what a ripoff
>>338824361
>learn your hero
>learn what every other hero can do
>learn the map
>learn to coordinate with your team
>learn to land headshots
that's all there is to learn in overwatch.
landing headshots constantly is probably the hardest part.
>>338824698
>if I oversimplify everything he says then that means he's wrong
kys fampai
Titanlfall, Battlefront, SF5, all get shit on for single player content. Overwatch doesn't have it and only has 2 fucking modes with cosmetics taking 500+ hours with microtransanctions. Blizzdrones buying millions of copies and reviewers getting paid by Blizzard to give it 9/10. So many goddamn fuccbois in this world
because there have been about 30 threads on this board about it constantly for the last few weeks. /vg/ when?
>>338824726
You just listed the basics of a shooter, the difference is there isn't much to any of it in overwatch. Your hero has a set load out so no choice their, your abilities are very direct in what they do and little in anything else. Maps are very simple at best having a direct path and then two obvious side ones to an objective.
None of that takes any time to learn and has little else to it
>learn to land headshots
Lot of them don't need this though as they can kill with body shots, focus on melee or have auto aim
>>338824815
literally nothing I said was a simplification
>>338824985
Not my problem that TF2 was ahead of the times and Blizzard can only poorly copy what was done 9 years ago.
>me and my 3 friends all get overwatch
>we spend the first day playing together and having a blast
>day 2 and all 3 friends have been offline from battlenet for 10 hours
>forced to pug with random shitters
why'd I even buy this fucking game
>>338824982
Overfags think press q quick is a hatd skill to learn
The people that think this game have a skill ceiling is just blind.
Game is made for casuals so they think they are good at the game. That is why reviews are so great.
Is a casual abomination for the fps genre.
>>338824819
Previous SF and Battlefront games had a ton of singleplayer content, no shit people were mad and SF5 and SW:BF.

overwatch killed TF2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! rip TF2!!!!!!!
>>338825052
you're complaining that fast characters have fast character traits
and valve didn't even invent the scout archetype because they didn't make team fortress
>>338824982
first of all, there is like 1 melee character.
and ofcourse can you kill with bodyshots, but headshots are faster and make you a better player.
also, what are you even trying to say?
>Overwatch is like every other shooter thus it's easy casual shit
i mean when you play Counter strike, you buy the same 3 weapons watch the same 5 corners on each map and aim at the head constantly.
COD is the same thing, you use your loadout, aim at heads and shoot.
the real question is, what the hell are you expecting from a first person shooter? And why did you think Overwatch would be some revolutionary genre redefining videogame?
>>338825257
>I have low expectations so it's okay
nah
>>338824521
Not to mention ultimate charge persisting through death. There is no punishment to dying. It even lets you keep it if you start the animation and are killed before it fully activates.
Even Splatoon got it right and depleted your charge after death.
Halo 5 is worth just mas much as Overwatch zozzle
> Moba mode
> Campaign
> Ranked modes
> More than 2 multiplayer modes
> Custom maps
>>338825372
Titanfall, Battlefront, and SF5 are all 60$ games with big season passes and usually had more singleplayer content in previous iterations.(granted SF5 is still getting that shitty 2 hour campaign)
>>338825270
The only TF2 people getting angry are fans of the fandom, because they feel cheated that another popular class-based shooter is out, and encroaching into their fandom.
TF2 has been out for almost a fucking decade- anyone still playing has been satisfied with the actual gameplay part and now spends their time on conga/RP servers anyway
>>338825361
>first of all, there is like 1 melee character.
multiple characters can use melee
>and ofcourse can you kill with bodyshots
You can one shot kill with them
>b-b-but other games
Other games have more choices to make, more complex maps, don't have auto aim, movement abilities that require skill not a button click, ammo that needs to be replenished do i need to go on?
And did I even say those games were good? Do you have no answer for greater depth?
>>338824670
That's ideal tho. Nobody except wannabe esports faggots wants a treasure trove of hidden/obscure mechanics to exploit as the baseline for comp play
>>338824274
>>338824308
>>338824521
It's "arcade mode" for a reason, its not supposed to be taken seriously -- a mode "just for funsies" where of course everything is going to be ridiculously OP and in no way reflects "balance" of the actual game
>mfw we spent literally 5 minutes contesting a point, all while in Overtime
shit's chaotic as hell butfun
>>338824819
Those games were $60, so more content is expected.
Overwatch is $40, which excuses a content deficiency
>>338825508
>Titanfall, Battlefront, and SF5 are all 60$ games
Overwatch is only cheaper on PC, which they all were
>usually had
so you are saying overwatch is okay cause
>I have low expectations so it's okay
>>338825170
This is why I didn't buy it, because if you don't have your friends playing with you then there's no option to suffer with pubs, and there's no community servers to ever fix that problem.
Overwatch is going to die 3x faster than something like TF2 because there's nothing that fosters the player base aside from gorillions of dollars in advertising.
Everyone will stop caring in about a month or so, just like The Division.

Overwatch is 40 with a premium 60 edition, you mong
>>338825737
i'm saying it's okay because Overwatch has no season pass and all future heroes and maps will be free.
good job ignoring that part though.
also you initial post wasn't about why i shit on it but why these games get shat on in general for not having singleplayer content... the obvious reason being that battlefront 1 and 2, COD, SF4 all had singleplayer content.
>>338813113
Game will be dead in a month or two. Just take Heroes of the Storm as an example. Shilled hard and now noone gives a fuck about it anymore.

It was popular during its lifetime and then had a series of terrible patches and OP hero releases. Hopefully Overwatch doesn't suffer the same fate

Fuck sake shills you are better than this
Overwatch has no depth no skill no nothing. Is casualized so every kid can do something even if they fucking suck.
Is so bad that you can tear apart a noob and a pro , because pros don't exist on OW
>>338825861
>>338825901
You mean that one that is everywhere and you can only get the cheaper one by being a digital faggot on pc? Who apparently have 0 expectations for content in games
So saying but muh $40 really isn't true for the majority of people who will buy it
