Yes.

>>684598840
Except for being a bit too gimmicky it is actually rather well made. Quite cheap aswell.

I played it in the open beta last week and liked it enough to pre-order. If you were considering buying it, you should have played it so you knew what it was like.

I've heard it's good,but there are other mobas for free

>>684599115
Much more fps than moba.

>>684598840
yes it is ! check warowl review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaeGMiWNWlQ

Can confirm. Was in closed beta. Currently experiencing withdrawals so I reinstalled tf2 to get me through until release.

It kept pinging me at 50 but it was laggy as fuck even in single player mode. I only played it the last day so don't blame it too hard.

Just felt a little too dumb. Could enjoy but needs good servers which it might get might not?

It will sell well, fail to garner any traction in the competitive/esports scene, will eventually grow stale while getting bogged down with shitty microtransactions. Will go on the shelf right up there with skyrim, minecraft, and other pleb games. The kinda game every 10 year old has played.

Yeah. I played it and had fun the whole time.

Why so mad?
Actually i have never read anything about this game.

Think of it like this: if you imagine the gameplay on a scale from something like COD or battlefield to something like TF2 I feel it is a bit too much to the TF2 side.
Meaning that there is a bit top much strange shit flying around and too little tactical gameply.

This, however, might get better as people get better at the game.

>>684599341
Never lagged once playing this wayyy too much both on PC and Xbox One. Could it have been on your end maybe?

>>684601715
Perhaps 'tactical' is the wrong word. I was more referring to a slower and more position-centric gameplay and less running around and shooting gimmicks at everything that moves.

So who does everybody like to play here? I play Reaper like 90% of the time unless I have to switch to fill a needed role.

>>684598840

Depends.

Do you want to play a game where you need to change heroes to get an advantage over the enemy teams comp?

Do you have friends who are willing to play with you?

Are you thick skinned and patient enough to go through the solo-que for both quick play and ranked play as other players will inevitably make you want to eat sand with the way they act/play?

Can you put your trust into others to be sure that everyone works together?

Do you plan to talk to use your mic in game?

Are you aware of the 20 tic rate for regular servers which will have you encounter moments where you die while behind a wall? (Note: Custom matches can be set to a 60 tic rate, but srsly Blizz wtf are you doing?)

Do you plan to play on PC?

Does the idea of free future maps/heroes sound appealing?

Are you willing to put up with the reactions of "elite" players who have only received 5 - 10 hours over you, and will actively demean you because you're new to the game with your lvl 1 rank? (There was a lot of this during open beta, expect it during/after release).

Do you have a job and $40 to burn freely?

Do matches which, on average, last between 5 - 10 minutes sound nice?


If you answered "yes" to any of these things, then maybe Overwatch is the right game for you!

>>684598840
Do you like TF2?? This is about the same speed.

It really depends on what you like OP. I played quake and unreal tournament online religiously back in the day, and I absolutely still love a well done shooter. The list is running thin for those sadly.

I have nearly 1200 hours in TF2 and for a free game, that just can't be beat. Great shit right there.

It's possible, but I think it was more likely that I downloaded it in the last 7 hours of the game. I pinged at 55 which should be fine unless this game runs crazy on graphics, and even then.

>>684602741

>>684602363
I would be fine with this if it actually required skill.

>>684602797
The graphic requirements are very low and your right a 55 should be perfectly fine. Maybe there was something else going on. Or it could just be Blizz servers they are not exactly known to have rock solid stability.

You'll be the faggot when Roadhog shoves his meat hook up your bum bum, friend

One change I would like to see in the game is the little dwarf mans turret, that shit should be more like the engineers turret from tf2 and not have a fiull 360 degrees of movement. Makes being sneaky really fucking hard when a loud ass turret with Aimbot is going to let everyone know your there.

Anyone else think reaper has THE cringiest voice lines ever? It's like a fucking 12 year old thought them up.

That's what Battleborn is. Literally nothing about Overwatch is even slightly MOBA-esque.

Unless you're referring to the game having multiple playable characters, which case GTAV is the best MOBA ever.

Because it is a moba, sure there will be people who play it, learn tactics work as a team, end up in the high ranks/leagues as with every moba, but 90% of the player base is gonna be casual as fuck just like every other moba, its only a matter of tiem before big titted "streamers" latch on and start to milk the virgins. After that the "omg I'm a girl gamer" and retards who don't evne learn the game but bitch about their team constantly latch on.

>>684603238
To be fair the "every character has their own set of unique skills" is slightly MOBA-esque.

>>684603269
I just don't understand this logic, when I think of Overwatch nothing of a moba stands out. It doesn't scream league of legends, or DOTA or Paragon, or Battleborn...it feels completely different.

Saying overwatch is a moba is like saying splatoon is like cod

>>684598840
Yes, when you can play with a friend it's very cool.

>>684603269
Isn't 90% of every games user base "casual as fuck" tho? For every one person who competes in MLG or whatever for games that are competitive there are at least 1000 people who don't.

>>684603514
Then you are blind, Blizzard made it specifically aimed towards moba players, it IS quite literally a moba with an fps view point.

>>684603457
This is a really bad example and Overwatch has a wide range of characters and they're divided in groups of Offensive, Defensive, Tank and Support which is very similar to what you would expect to find in a MOBA.

>>684603866
>main

lmao more like f2p shitter

>>684603900

What this guy said. What I hate about MOBAs is the idea of leveling up as you play each round. The characters in Overwatch have special abilities and yeah, their weapons are very different from each other, but it's more simplistic than a MOBA in my opinion, and that's good for gameplay.

>>684604037
I realize you were being sarcastic I was just trying to lay out more clearly what I thought was a moba and what was more like a team based shooter. No worries.

To be a moba dont you have to have lane pushing?

>>684603822
>>684603838
Did you forget to take your autism meds today? The question is not whether or not Overwatch is a MOBA, because it's not. But to say that it hasn't got any resemblance to a MOBA is hyperbole and now you're just grasping for straws.

>>684604270
Moba stands for Multiplayer Online Battle Arena I believe so if we try hard enough we can force anything to be a moba. But what is constantly marketed and referred to a moba involves things like lane pushing, leveling up, buying items, ect ect. If we follow the logic people are trying to bait out then:

Gta5 Online is a moba
Counter strike is a moba
Wow is a moba
Runescape is a moba
Tf2 is a moba

>>684604281

>lock in character

>do you level? I dont think so, but idk

>>684604597
No, no leveling

>>684604489
Smash bros is best moobu

>>684604281
Literally the only thing Overwatch shares with any MOBA is having a roster of characters that do different things. But that's not a characteristic exclusive to MOBAs, so saying it shares that trait with MOBAs is fucking stupid. It shares that trait with most games in general, not just with MOBAs.

>>684604662
Good point

Its fun but everyone is made of paper so playing a tank means you get 3 shot instead of one shot

>>684604760

I had fun playing it. Some of the classes are pretty cheap, but it's a good time if you have a good team.

Seems like overwatch is just another shooter then.

>>684604662
The biggest MOBA esque thing is the Ultimates which is personally enough to at the very least say it has considerable MOBA inspirations at the very least. Still a fun game though. Tracer is absolute cancer though. Also would smash Mei, But goddamn playing against her can be infuriating specially as roadhog holy shit she gets one tick of her slow and you literally cannot move.

>>684598840
its an fps style moba basically, only thing i would say that is wrong with the game is how the "play of the games" are calculated, some of them are very very boring and dont actually show anything, for example the tf2 equivelant for engineer Torbjorn or w/e will get like 4 kills with his turret but it will show his character view running around doing nothing, other than that its extremely well made and has enough varation in skills,spells,weapons to make everyone have fun on multiple heroes. Buy it.

>>684604597
I forgot you wrote the book on all the terms and that your opinion reign supreme

>>684604662
So another way to put it is you were wrong and I was right? There are similarities if you look for them? Like if I said "It's like TF2 but more characters and they all have unique skills, kinda like a MOBA" that would be a pretty accurate description?

>>684604932
FF7 is now a Moba if we rename Limit Breaks to Ultimate

Ultimate or "super powerful abilities" are not a gameplay mechanic exclusive to mobas.

>>684598840
Greatly prefer Battleborn.

>>684604932
Eh, the Ultimates thing is debatable. I'd argue those are there to accentuate the diversity of the roster more than to have some sideways connection to MOBAs; to have one big thing that sets each character apart from the other aside from an ability or two and a movement mechanic.

>>684601893
its fucking 100% a moba, are you kidding? using a small amount of spells, controlling one character, having an ultimate with a large cd that massively effects the outcomes of fights if timed properly, pushing points to get the the other players base, having tanks supports and nukers, like HELLO? are you retarded? its barely an fps, its basically SMITE without creeps

>>684604985
I'd say I may have misspoken, but I'd still say it's less like a MOBA than it is like one. I wouldn't agree with the quote past "it's like TF2 but more characters" because the unique skills thing is redundant since those are in TF2 as well. It doesn't share enough similarities with any MOBA to make them what you think of when you see/play Overwatch.

>>684605324
>accentuate the diversity of the roster
When a single skill can result in a large shift in the flow of a match with minimal effort or input on behalf of the player in comparison to their other skills I'd say it goes further then to accentuate diversity. Its mostly to do just as i said turn a match on its head. Or at least try to turn a match on its head.

I'm not arguing that Ults shift the tides of games in Overwatch, I'm just saying that's not exclusive to MOBAs or any genre in particular to be drawing comparisons to them. It's just a thing. They're there for the sake of being there.

>>684598840

>>684605723
so yes, you are retarded, i gave like 10 legitimate reasons as to why its similar to a moba, it has so many things fps's dont, and you pull out female penises, go to bed you fucking toddler

>>684606195
You understand of course that I have played both MOBAs and Overwatch and don't make the comparison at all?

>>684606311
The only gameplay mechanic I know that seem to be 100% exclusive to mobas is having a toxic community full of horrible people.

4chan is now the ultimate Moba.

And you think that invalidates the comparisons I, and anyone else, makes?

>>684603386

>>684606586

If you're looking to make comparisons, you can say anything is a MOBA. Does it make you right/wrong? Nope. Does that make me right/wrong? Nope. Everything is gonna strike everybody differently. It strikes you as a MOBA, and that's fine. It doesn't strike me as a MOBA, that's just fine.

No.

I didn't even have great expectations for this game and I was still dissapointed. I found it to be extremely underwhelming.

You know that feeling when you play a mew character in a MOBA and with just the right strategy you find he/she's tottaly OP? That each character (100+) has incredible abilities to be exploited thoroughly? Well Overwatch is nothing like that, it looks flashy as hell but feels like a decent TF2 mod. Also there is absolutely no escalation throughout the game, it feels casual as fuck and I don't think that's ever going to change. It's not a thing of "its how u plei da game hurdurr", it's how the game was made and the audience (teen casuls) they had in mind.

If a bunch of friends are getting it and it seems like you can get a lot of fun from it, then go for it. If not, pick anything else up.

>>684607229
Like I said, I may have misspoke. The minute similarities some think they share aren't exclusive to MOBAs anyway, so the comparison still stands.

Get it if you have friends to play with. If not, then don't waste your money. You'd probably drop it in a week or 2.

This letsjustmixeverythingstyle is just horrible. Would never play such crap. Looks like its made for five year old girls.
