I just realized Overwatch has a ton of Robots and Cyborgs in it. the designs aren't half bad either. Which one is /m/'s favorite?
not sure but the buddha robot is fucking awesome looking
>>14220055
The technodorf looks like a puppy robot walker from the thumbnail.
>>14220055
They all look like extremely boring unimaginative garbage.
>>14220055
Bastion's my fave.
I was also disappointed that Reinhardt was a guy in power armor and not a bot.
>>14220061
oops wrong picture
>>14220068
You aren't too far off.
It really is just a pile of cliches with half-hearted designs.

>>14220055
Fuck off shill
I'm a pleb that hasn't played the game. Is this guy any fun to play as?
Raiden is pretty fun to play as.
>>14220055
MegaAnon and I both think D.va is awesome. Pharah is awesome because she's basically Tribes: The Character.
There is really no character in the game that I did not have fun playing during the beta. I thought that Bastion was too cheap with his silly turret crap but apparently Genji's sword reflect is the hard counter to that.
>>14220106
>>14220134
His healing isn't the best (it's not bad, but others do it better) but his ability to make an enemy take 25% more damage can really ruin a tank. He can also do a fair bit of damage if you headshot with his orbs.
>>14220134
He is challenging to play because all of his powers are line of sight and proximity based. From my experience, he is best played on Defense at choke points and hiding around corners sitting still. He moves slowly so he's a poor skirmisher but a great turret.

Nice try.
I like the designs. Not overtly original, some are pretty much copies of already popular stuff (Warframe guy, FonteArt reaper, cyborg John Marston, pretty much all of em'). But they look nice and fun and use some of the more pleasing motifs from cyborg futurisms.

How come D. Va isn't in that line up?

>>14220663
Mei isn't either, and some others aren't like Lucio.
It's the original lineup, before they were revealed.
>>14220650
Already posted this in /owg/ and /tg/ but I got bored earlier and threw this together. Ordered some plasticard and a few other things to make a sturdier/nicer looking version since I'm a /toy/ guy and most vidya toys are shit.
>>14220055
None of them are that interesting or original.
>>14220702
You're doing god's work anon.
Would you be willing to share plans if anyone else wanted to make one?
>>14220747
I've actually been studying all my life to become a toy designer, I was considering making casts of the initial Bastion plasticard model and trying to convert one into an action figure and try selling them through the customs general on /toy/ if anyone was interested. He's either going to be 1/12, 1/8, or 1/6 scale not decided yet.
If the figure plan falls through I'd be happy to draw up a template for people to use to make Bastion statues though.
Also considering making a custom D.Va figma and might attempt her mecha to go with that if Bastion turns out ok. I'm at college right now though and broke so don't get your hopes too high for the D.Va set haha.
>>14220702
>most vidya toys are shit.
I bet they are. I've been interested in the Revoltech Molten Tigrex for a while, but whenever I post about it the only response I get is

>What if we just copied the cast of Anarchy Reigns? Think anybody would notice?
>>14220820
Ignore the Revoltech meme, anons on /toy/ tend to shit on them just because of the clicky joints and the sculpts are a bit stylized. They're generally not too bad, I own a few of their Evolution Evas and those are top notch.
>>14220055
>>14220914
they both look like the lineup of a shitty new generic comics universe that nobody will give a fuck about

Unfortunately for her, that's the only large thing she has.

>>14220099
D.Va is yet another example of western designers failing to grasp what makes a cool looking mecha.
Reinhard on the other hand has an /m/ as fuck design. Pharah, too.Shame I can't play her for shit
>>14221123
Funny, cause I think D Va. looks cooler than Reinhard.
Bastion is cooler than both of 'em.

How does D.Va's cockpit work? It looks a bit like Kallen's seat in the Guren, but more cramped. How does she get in? When you call in a new one it looks like she gets in through the back, but there doesn't seem to be an opening.

I think a lot of it is the lack of... worldbuilding? Like, they look pretty generic in and of themselves, and there isn't any reason for them to look that way either.

Like a story? Because there is one if you watch all the trailers and read the comics.
>>14238776
It doesn't make much sense, though. All sorts of stuff happened 30-60 years ago, and now people are back in Overwatch. Barely aged, except for S76. And they're fighting, for some reason?
>>14238278
>they look pretty generic
Yes, tell me the last time you got to play as a robot monk, or a Chinese environmentalist.
If Overwatch is "unoriginal", what isn't?
I've played all those crappy South Korean shooters, for a decade, and I know for a fact that they were way more generic than anything Blizzard could ever cook up.
And no, I'm no fucking Blizz fanboy. Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 were clunk.
>>14238822
The war was 30 years ago. OverWatch has only been gone for a few years.
>>14238841
In many things
>>14238822
The lack of a proper solo campaign is the biggest problem of this game.
The designs are either generic or moderately inspired, but the animation and the general graphic tone make up for it.
>>14238841
>tell me the last time you got to play as a robot monk, or a Chinese environmentalist
I'm not saying the concepts aren't original, I'm saying the execution is poor.
>>14238822
>All sorts of stuff happened 30-60 years ago, and now people are back in Overwatch. Barely aged,
you might want to take another gander at the plot
>>14238896
>I'm saying the execution is poor.
And how would you have handled it?
for you guys talking about plot i can only assume the matches we play are training scenarios are something
afaik overwatch was never actually called back into action, winstons short ends before he does anything besides finding everyones location. Im thinking we will get a mann vs machine esque update related to the current omnic war
I played a lot of D.va in the beta but she is kind of disappointing desu. Large crit box and poor damage output.
Whoever decided her guns should slow her while shooting should be fired.
>>14238928
The game is not canon to the storyline. They're two separate things.
>>14238914
>only chefs can criticize food
>>14238853
Then why is S76 an old man now? At least 30 years has passed.
>>14238968
I just asked how you would handle it because you don't like it. It's a fair question. You can't just say "I don't like this" without saying why.

D-va need a small boost, but otherwise she's very fun to play, thanks to her high mobility and high damage. She take way to much damage tho, either her shield or her rocket need a shorter cooldown.
>>14239209
>like bad meme games
>>14239214
She deals decent damage - in melee range. Outside of that, not so much. Which wouldn't be a problem if shooting didn't slow her down.
You are now imagining being able to shoot while boosting and not having any slowdown.

Bastion is literally the low-skill tier character, scrub. There's a reason he doesn't show up in many competitive teams.

there are certain points in maps that make him untouchable, you can't come anywhere else because there's only a front

Bastion is a good character when he is correctly protected, but his total lack of mobility make him useless against an aggressive team. Plus he his easy to counter.

>>14238951
She exists to do two things. Completely nullify a Pharah ult if she has the positioning, which isn't hard if you're aware of how she words, and use her own Ult to bomb a contested point.
Get good at those two things and D.Va becomes quite a bit more useful.
>>14239711
>who is Pharah
>who is Tracer
>who is Widowmaker
>who is Genji
>who is Hanzo

Bastion has so many hard and soft counters that it's not even funny anymore when people call him OP'd.
Not to mention the fact he's been nerfed more than any other hero in the game during this beta period.
>>14220155
>We're better than this.

>>14239627
>>14239711
I bet you're the kind of person who would still say he's OP if he stood still and deployed a moving mine like in his original ultimate before it got switched to the tank.
>>14241719
Obviously Zenyatta.
>>14239077
Yeah, but be prepared for frustration with randoms early on. You'll get stuck with so many people who disregard team composition for the sake of picking their favourite hero.
When you have a team that knows what it's doing and works well together it's ace tho.
Bastion is definitely my favorite, but so many people play him wrong. You shouldn't deploy the turret in the front lines and just try and mow down people, instead you should deploy in the back lines and provide cover fire for the front line. The damage from the turret's minigun is great at pretty much any range, so Bastion works best behind his teammates. Any Bastion that deploys in the front line is just a large, immobile, obvious target
>>14241774
Bastion has a pretty neat design and backstory. It's too bad he's constantly hated upon since he either shits on shitters and gets stomped by people who know who they're doing, no in between.
>>14241432
Don't forget Roadhog. His chain drags Bastion out of turret mode and stuns him at the same time.
>>14241967
If you can get close enough, which can be an iffy proposition a lot of the time in this game. All the rest have either the range of the mobility to completely wreck or at least neutralize a Bastion 1v1.
It is fucking great getting a good hook on the bastards though.
>14241410
>She exists to do two things. Completely nullify a Pharah ult
genji can do this better
so she's basically shit
>>14241774
If it's the right map. Good positioning for him varies a LOT.
The biggest factor to playing him well is just simply knowing the good spots for quickly ducking into cover for repairs, but still maintaining decent line of sight on whatever the obj is at the time. Most shit Bastion players focus too much on one or the other.
>>14242014
Genji has to risk a lot more to pull it off.
You do know the difference between hard and soft counters, right?
Bastion imbalanced as fuck, but I still won't play him because he's boring as fuck.
You must be a masochist to enjoy him. His presence lowers the game's quality for both the attackers and defenders.
>>14233506

>>14238304
it's probably for the digital release so people can preload the game, so they can play immediately after launch instead of having to wait 1-4 hours to download it(well assuming any day 1 patches aren't more than a gig or two in size)

she's not meant to be a Tank of the traditional "absorb a ton of damage" sort, her role is more meant to disrupt the other team's assault through use of her high mobility, her shield(which not only blocks all non beam projectiles in the game, but can be activated and used with her boost), and her decently high damage output up close to gank one or two players and then get the hell out of dodge before they can gut you like a fish in retaliation
>>14241432
>>14241967
Junkrat also works good for this, assuming that the other team doesn't put a Toblerone sentry near him as well
>>14242057
man during the open beta I couldn't play Pharah worth a damn, she just seems too fragile for her damage output, she just feels like a completely inferior Soldier clone(TF2 Soldier, not Soldier 76)
>>14242057
Pharah's Rocket Barrage is probably my favourite Ultimate in the game, but no denying it's complete ass without the right set-ups. If you can co-ordinate with a Zarya or Reinhardt ultimate it's pretty decent though.
>>14242080
yeah id go entire games without using the ult waiting for the 'right moment' which more often than not never comes. If I see 2-3 guys and I think I can kill them I just pop it or use it as a panic buton
>>14242080
>>14242130
Shitters detected.
Pharah's ult charges fast as fuck if you're a decent shot with her rockets. It's also really handy for picking off lone tanks trying to get back to the front.
You don't always have to try and get potg with the fucker.

Holy shit what kind of tiny little world of fiction have you guys immersed yourselves in that you people really think those designs are boring or unimaginative? I can't imagine you having more than a few different works under your belt.
The characters of Overwatch are an insane breath of fresh air in a genre made up of 95% guys in buzzcuts with military gear. It's like the Disney version of Anarchy Reigns' cast, in a good way.
>>14238208
I remember the days when "waifushit" was just called "female characters" and not everyone who played video games were massive homos who want their games to be sausage fests.
>>14242151
Well yeah. I've used it just fine in that way a few times. But I was thinking more in the sense that stunned heroes can't shoot you down during activation or clearing paths/points for the team.
Honestly during the beta I didn't get as much practice in with Pharah as I would have liked. Got relegated to Tank and Support more often than not thanks to everyone picking Genji/Reaper/Tracer regardless of game-mode.I'm also a console gamer who is average at FPS games at best.
>>14242207
I think we can all agree that Blizzard needs to limit characters to one per team(and maybe lock out certain classes if there's too many in one role, and none in others)
>>14242213
>limit characters to one per team
This needs to happen.
>and maybe lock out certain classes if there's too many in one role, and none in others
This however would be nofunallowed territory.
What they need to do is incentivise people for fulfilling needed roles. In-game currency should drop after each match, rewarding things like victory, participation, PotG, "Epic" votes at the end, and playing a role that is recommended in character select.
However Blizzard is retarded and instead rewards you nothing but experience for playing matches, and all that experience does is drop loot boxes on level up, which at a certain point will hit a cap and force you to spend real money on costumes and shit.
>>14242239
>This needs to happen.
yeah it's one of those few things that Battleborn does better in it's PVP
>What they need to do is incentivise people for fulfilling needed roles. In-game currency should drop after each match, rewarding things like victory, participation, PotG, "Epic" votes at the end, and playing a role that is recommended in character select.
agreed
>This however would be nofunallowed territory.
I'll admit I was thinking this would be just for setup, and maybe for the first minute/first death, whichever comes first, if mostly to try and get people to mix things up when it comes to what characters they play
Looks like the initial designs were a lot more /m/.
>>14242213
I would rather they increase the player count per side. This 6 vs 6 nonsense just feels like a console/esports limitation.
>>14242294
my guess is that a lot of the designs that got changed, were changed in the name of streamlining to make it easier to render and animate them(not to mention while they aren't as good about this as TF2 is, having unique silhouettes for each character is important, and some of these initial designs wouldn't be good for that)
>>14242319
I do agree that 9v9 or 12v12 would be better, wouldn't be surprised if a playlist for that is added in the future though(although character restrictions would be even more important in some regards, can you imagine going up against 12 Bastions or 12 Toblerones?)
>>14242060
From a design standpoint, he's just crap. Every Blizzard hero is actually fun to play, except Bastion. He makes the game worse.
>>14239077
It's TF2 except the competitive isn't locked behind autism and a 2000 hours of gametime
>>14239704
>Competitive teams matter
>Competitive is a thing when it was only in beta
Nigger he's got the accuracy of a sniper and headshot damage along with that. He's weak from behind in turret form and yet he can snap around 360 degrees as fast as everyone. A good genji or repear can take him down in seconds as long as they don't have a competent reindhardt, but if they do you're fucked.
>>14242239
>-game currency should drop after each match, rewarding things like victory, participation, PotG, "Epic" votes at the end, and playing a role that is recommended in character select.
That's how it is for Heroes of the Storm. You get money for playing different roles.
>>14242413
As I main Pharah, I must say that Bastion is a real pain in the ass.
>>14241410
I already deny ranged ultis by habit, but others can shut down them as well (how often do you not hear JUSTICE RAINS FROM A-BLARGH).
The ulti is as you say, useful to make people run for cover - but compare it to junkrat wheel which will do about the same thing but more often than not also get several kills. It's just weak in comparison to other ultis.

If anything, he's one of the best characters on the roster. He's just tricky to use to his full potential since he has a weird to aim and relatively low-damaging primary weapon compared to other Offense heroes on top of a high risk playstyle.
>>14239704
>not attacking from the front
I've been too brainwashed by mecha anime to NOT attack from the front.
What's the point if you can't an hero yourself everytime?
>>14242079
>it's probably for the digital release
It's for the physical. All the stores are shipping it out early so everyone can jump on as soon as it's up.
>>14233506
That's the fucking Vic Viper in upper left.
people are hyping this game to be "THE game" so is it any good?
>>14247660
it's like one of those korean shooters, but extra polished.
if you don't care for the multiplayer shooter genre, then don't get it.
>>14242159
they literally all look like MOBA characters
there's nothing imaginative about them
>>14247701
>if you don't care for the multiplayer shooter genre, then don't get it.
I don't mind mutliplayer shooters its just is the community any good? (clearly based off beta cause its not out yet.) Are the other players nice or am I going to have to deal with swearing 7 year olds?
>>14247706
It costs $40, so that's going to keep a lot of the idiots and kids out. Remember how TF2 was before they let the freebies in?
>>14242159
You must be retarded if you think any of these designs look "Original" when it's just blizzard playing Pick & Choose with different settings of sci-fi art that you can find on deviant art and not establishing some length of technology.
Considering that their only intent is to make this game go viral I'd say it's working pretty well especially with the Coca Cola and Taco Bell deals.
>>14247702
There's also nothing imaginative about your post. How is looking like a MOBA character a bad thing? Just sounds like you hate MOBAs.
>>14247741
Because moba characters are unimaginative and over designed
>>14247738
You seem like a such a blast to hang out with
>>14247744
>unimaginative and over designed
At this point you're practically spouting buzzwords. Why do you think they're unimagintive and overdesigned? What makes them so?
Seriously dude, if you're gonna hate on something you should at least make your argument good.
>>14247749
moba characters are objectively shit designs fuck off back to sucking riot's and blizzard's cock
>>14247749
Look like garbage I've seen a million times before

It's an arena shooter, not a fucking codex, guy.

Here's a design that everyone knows and likes, Big Zam not because of some company forcing it down their throats but because it's a giant two legged mecha jumping around space with toe missiles.
It has a Mega-Particle Cannon at it's center and it looks silly but has a lot of charm.
This isn't featured in something heavily advertised but it left a lasting effect on people who did witness it in the material it was displayed in and had a long-lasting charm to even today.
My one complaint with the designs is that it has that weird generic Blizzard feel to it, with just a dash of Disney 3D movie thrown in.
It's hard to put my finger on it but something about Blizzard designs have always been really uninspired to me. Like MtG artwork. Like there is no substance to it, or it's trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
>>14247781
This is D.Va's mech, it very obviously takes after big zam with some "changes" like first of all it shows the Pilot's face in the front with barely any protective shielding and the arms stick out completely able to be blown off.
Along with this the shotguns mounted on the sides are attached to narrow arms that could also be easily taken apart instead of just fixed onto the mech itself without any loss of maneuverability due to the arms already lack of usefulness.
It has stickers plastered on it and a bunch of useless layers and panels, for some reason it has a set of boosters aiming downwards even though the mech only goes upwards and forward, it has wings even though it's not aerodynamic and it's legs are arched but move awkwardly and weirdly instead of more smoothly along with the way they're mounted they should only be moving in one direction.
It looks very awkward and is featured in a game only relying on advertisement, manufactured controversy, and whatever tricks that can beheld to give it praise and attention.
>>14247802
This is Dozle Zabi, he was a kind and caring husband to his wife and a good father to his Daughter, he did not want to fight the gundam himself by any means but held high confidence in the prototype Big Zam.
He was a memorable member of the Zabi family for his dedication to the cause and brash and proud personality, and loyal to the end to his brother.
He was a brave man, living with honour and pride in his life and appreciated the company of his own men and possibly hoped that he could live happily with his wife.
>>14247802
>This is D.Va's mech, it very obviously takes after big zam
Except for the fact that its legs and are modeled entirely differently, it has no central particle cannon, it has no horns, it has no toe missiles, it has no secondary beam emmiters, it has no permanent I-field, it has no crotch thrusters, it's not piloted by three people, it's much smaller, and the Zam is not designed to resemble a rabbit which is what that character's symbol is for doesn't have fins, unit and advertising logos, and an apparent glass half-canopy and a visible cockpit, and it doesn't have what can roughly be described as energy shotguns, so no, they are absolutely nothing alike.
Big Zam's also just as unrealistic as any mecha ever fucking made ever, so stop trying to tout the benefits of a design adored by a bunch of Japs.
>>14247825
This is D.Va aka Hana Song, she's a 19 year old former professional E-Sports player of which she played Starcraft, her backstory is a rip off of Pacific Rim in which giant omnic monstrosities came from the Ocean to attack her homeland and so they organized a MEKA force to defend from them.
She was picked as the person to pilot the Extraordinarly prototype mecha because only gamers had the necessary reflexes to handle them.
She showed no mercy in the video game world and was a completely elite gamer.
She is a giant on her social media and everyone loves her.
Everytime someone uses her ultimate in game I have to listen to her make a tongue-in-cheek reference to real life which takes me out of the game to hear her go "NERF THIS" or her referencing other blizzard games and memes.
She is a annoying starcraft 19-year old starcraft player who wants to make you jack off to porn of her while playing overwatch and spill cheeto dust all over yourself.

Atleast Big Zam doesn't look as retarded and has a bunch of stupid shit covering it.

Then why have they released so much material for Lore and knowledge of what happens in-game?
