probably not. not because I don't like the game or anything but because I don't need this game in my life when I already have a huge-ass backlog, a life to sort, and TF2.

Basically every thread has been 50/50 on votes for yes/no on overwatch buying. im genuinely surprised. I cant tell if it is some sort of vote manipulation or 50% of /v/ actually IS getting overwatch, that's a staggering amount of people

>tf2
I won't act like I've got thousands of hours on tf2 like some people around here do, but having played both games I really don't understand why people think they're just the same game.
Overwatch has
>smaller teams
>no unlockable weapons
>characters that do things tf2 characters don't (although there is some overlap and no spy character for example)
>multiple tanks and healers with different play styles compared to tf2's one heavy and one medic
>extra movement styles i.e. wall climbing, wall grinding, boosts, jump jets (which I guess are comparable to rocket jumping)
Anyway, you get my point. Whether or not all of this stuff is actually better is a matter of opinion but I don't see how people think they're the same.
>>
>>337346476
>Missing the point that much.

Its also surprisingly populated on Consoles too, not so much as PC, but enough for a lsting player base, until the next shooter comes out I guess.

I don't care what faggots on /v/ think about this game. All I see is hate for it, yet every other topic is about the game. It's obviously well received by a lot of people. Either way, I don't really give a shit - the game got me to quit playing CS:GO and actually have fun playing video games again. I don't care if it's casual, or if it's "a TF2 clone" it's FUN.
>>
>>337346549
>>337348950
They're rather similiar, but we've had already 9 years (5 years for free) to play TF2. I think it's time to move on.

>>337348950
Excepting everything that could be good in Overwatch is either locked behind a cooldown or has an alternative making the actual method useless (rocket jump of pharrah). The skill ceiling is sadly very low individually compared to TF2. You can't be versatile at all in Overwatch, and there's no cool alternatives for a class. TF2 with the loadouts has many more possibilities than Overwatch. Playing with the shovel doing while rocketjumping has nothing to do with playing with the parachute and the liberty launcher, and is also different from playing with the vanilla rocket launcher or the Black box.
Every class has more than 3 meaningful combinations in TF2.
>>
Fuck off Blizzard shill
>>
>>337349191
Well, it may be true that TF2 has been out for 9 years but people have been playing Counter Strike much longer and people are still buying/playing games like Counter Strike.
>>
>>337346025
Probably.
>>
>>337349496
I can see your point but I get the impression you would agree that the games are different, even if you don't like one of them.
>>
>>337349136
It's not really like tf2 outside of there's a payload game mode and there's a ctf game mode and torb makes level 3 sentries

It's a dumb comparison to make.

TF2 is designed deliberately with fun and depth in mind, Overwatch was designed deliberately with no depth and fun in mind.

People see a soldier or demo fly out of the sky and kill them, moving 200 mph. It's discouraging.

Blizzard wants everyone to have fun from the start, Valve wants everyone to take the time to learn how to be that soldier.
>>
NO should have been divided into 2 categories:

- No because I don't like it / don't care

- No because I am a poorfag

I am guessing those NO are coming mostly from pirate poorfags.
>>
>>337349767
I don't dislike it. I just think it is going to get boring quite fast. It is going to be a game that will catch the casual and have LoL vibe. Mindless fun but getting old fast.

ITT: It's casual because the controls are accessible to anyone

Smash and LOL are casual as fuck yet we have tourneys and events bigger than "hardcore" TF2 will ever have.

Give someone a simplistic "anything" and they can get really good at it.

Just check how this was done with just a bunch of shapes since Forza does not have a painintg tool.
>>
>>337349496
It is very true that loadouts in TF2 add a lot of variety to the game, but it also adds a layer of uncertainty to the gameplay. When you see a spy in TF2 you have no god damned idea what his loadout is and what he could be doing. Is he using the dead ringer? Is he using your eternal reward? You have no idea, and there is no way to play around everything all at once. Some people like this concept, and having played well over 1000 hours of TF2 i certainly dont hate it, but it doesnt lend itself very well to a game thats trying to bill itself as competetive. On Overwatch when you see a McCree you know exactly what he can do and he knows exactly what you can do which at least puts both people on equal footing from a knowledge perspective.

Idk, i dont disagree with anything you said in your post really, but all the same i see value in characters being static.

>No because im a poorfag

Noone would admit to that answer even if noone else can see their response

There's no reason to have 2 no responses and 1 yes response.

Maybe it would be ok if

>Yes, because tits and ass
>yes because game is fun
>no because i dont like it/dont care
>no because im poor

But it's unnecessary, considering the only metric we care about is if people are buying the game or not. We dont really care about what kinds of people are buying it, or what sorts arent buying it.

BETTER POLL

I bought it last night actually.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and missed it after the beta ended so I had no choice.
>>
>>337350109
>Valve wants everyone to take the time to learn how to be that soldier.
no, valve made "Smash Melee: the shooter", a game that was designed to be as casual as casual can be but ended up having an accidentally high skill cap. The fact that valve took 9 years to add a ranked mode means they dont give a shit about you being that soldier, they never really inteded for anyone to be that soldier, it just sort of happened.
>>
>>337350776

A lot of people are buying it for the tits and ass alone though. Should be valid as well.
>>
>>337346025
There should be a "I'm waiting for a sale/More content" option
>>
>>337350759
... but Overwatch is, in fact a Blizzard game.

And there are people out there with tons of money not buying it because it's a Blizzard game.

Being a fucking retard and trying to act smart isn't going to work out for you in the long run, friend. Use some fucking context clues you dumb fuck.

Overwatch seemed like one of those good but not great games. I had fun in the beta but nothing really grabbed me so I probably won't buy it.
>>
Honestly I wanted to buy Battleborn because it looks like there is more content, but all my friends are going Overwatch. I am so conflicted because a game is always infintely better with friends, but Battleborn has itemization and pve content.

Though Overwatch seems to have better class characters in general. I guess I will probably buy it, mainly because of friends, and as much as I hate Blizzard these days, I know they usually release a crisp if not lacking in features content.

So basically Overwatch is fun at its core?

No wonder why it's successful.

Sounds good to me. What other reason is there to even play games?

- No, because it's not worth 40 fucking dollars and if it was 20 dollars i might consider it and if it was 10 dollars i'd most likely buy it

>>337346025
would buy if it was $20, like most other people who voted no
>>
>>337351084

Yeah but you're clearly making it look like I am somehow talking about Blizzard as a whole when the main focus of the topic is Overwatch.

Which is why I said for people that don't care / don't like it?

> Being a fucking retard and trying to act smart isn't going to work out for you in the long run, friend.

That's pretty ironic considering you somehow need context clues on a thread with an established topic.

Not him. But Blizzard makes good boxes and high quality too.

I am spending the 60 on it because I really love the game so much. As a matter of fact I am buying 2 fucking boxed editions and gift one randomly to /v/.

In case you didn't know, the boxed game comes with a code which you activate and you can download anywhere everywhere.

>>337352486
Should've played the beta bro. It was what sold me on it for sure.
It's just an all around fun shooter. Lots of personality and the diversity of the cast weapon/ability wise is addicting. If you get a good team any given game it's even better
>>
>>337352625
I like the game but I really don't want to buy it because Blizzard is a fucking disgusting company and I don't want to give them my money.

No. The novelty of it wore off really quickly and by the second day I realized I wasn't having fun anymore.

I can see that a lot of work went into it, which is a shame that it was wasted on such an ultimately shallow game. Should've put all that effort into HotS instead, since it's a much more fun game.

Making him a robot doesn't make him not a cliche. There's a lot of bland takes on archetypes, and a lot of poorly done juxtapositions.

>A calm and introspect robot who's not like the others, OOOH so original
>Oh she's a woman BUT ALSO REALLY STRONG OH MOTHER RUSSIA MAKES YOU STRONG LOOK SHE WRESSLES BEARS

Seriously, when it's not a dumb shit cliche it's a "juxtaposed" cliche that's been done before by people who knew what they were doing. I hate to bring up valve and TF2, but they did this shit so much better and the characters were so much more appealing even though a lot of them were cliches.

It's fun but not worth 40.

But since it's a Blizzard game and not getting a price cut ever, it's either pay it or wait years for a small price reduction.

The expensive thing can be seen as a good thing since it will prevent the hordes of F2P scum and kids ruining it like it happened with TF2.

Everything in existence is a cliche, but there's always fresh takes on things and cliches that are done well. Overwatch has neither of these. Every single character is a boring, bland piece of shit designed by a committee to appeal to as big of an audience as possible. There's no cleverness in any of them, no wit and absolutely no original thought or idea. It's all shit that we've seen before, and no, you can't defend it with "it's deliberately done that way" because there are works that are deliberately evoking cliched and archetypes of things by the authors who liked them and are much better than this.

The reason this worked in, say, TF2, is because there's more to the characters than their appearances. Demoman's character doesn't begin and end with "He's black and scottish, HAHA isn't that funny?!". If it were done by the Overwatch team, Heavy'd be a "gentle giant" and Medic would be an actual nazi.

Friendly reminder that on release, TF2 was exactly like Overwatch in this way: you didn't have loadouts, you had one class, and they had a single set of gear.

Not saying that TF2's loadout variability isn't better, but if you're going to compare the games, remember that TF2 started the same.

Are you using the backstory comics of the game as your justification? Because Overwatch has backstory for every single character that is referenced by a ton of varied in-game dialogue. Doesn't mean you have to like it but please justify how TF2 is any better

Good thing that you brought up Overwatch's backstory, I almost forgot how shit it was. I read the lore behind every single character and it's so completely disconnected from the actual game that it's hilarious. Every single time I read it, all I could think was "Oh, this is worse than what I imagined for this character."

But no, leaving the "backstory" aside (Which incriminates your piece of shit game even more of unoriginality), every character is still a bland sack of shit compared to the games it's trying to copy. If you want me to keep the playing field fair, I can stop comparing them to TF2 characters, and start comparing them with League or Dota 2 characters, which are also miles better, in both in-game characterization and written backstory.

Are you using this as an example to show how much better he is than a character in Overwatch? Pyromaniac is one of the most overused cliches of all time. And again, that's fine.

More stellar than Overwatch's characters. Unlike it, TF2's writers didn't have a producer standing behind them and telling them "Make him more likeable."

>>337355927
They had on release. Small bits of writing and the rest of characterization was in their numerous voicelines. On the other side, Overwatch has a big, overwritten hog of a backstory for every character and very little in-game interaction. And before you go

No, I think certain games are shilled. I am not a retard who thinks someone liking a game or making a normal thread about a game = shilling. Those kneejerkers are just as bad as the marketers.

Like the Undertale spammers when it was popular, I could see those were shitposters who knew talking about the game was [guaranteed (You)s] and it was always easy to tell.

Overwatch and DOOM have been absolutely spammed here to hell and back, far and above anything else, because they are marketing vehicles, behind which a lot of investment and money have been poured into.

Unfortunately I know in the end these companies will continue to do this, just as they have for years, even if it gets worse and more obvious every time. Which is a fucking shame, but I wish people would at least try to be aware they're being manipulated.

Overwatch is great and will go on to be hugely successful.

No, I'm not saying that making them likable is a bad thing, I'm saying that a committee designed them to be "likable" to appeal to as many people as possible. They're products made to sell instead of being created out of an artist's spark, so they have to be safe and industrial.

I still don't get your point. That's true for everything that's existed in the history of ever. Your favorite character was audience tested. Your favorite game, movie, show, whatever the fuck was made with audience in mind. Whether that audience is children, teenagers, adults, or old people. That's how entertainment works.

My favorite character is a dick sucking vampire in a comic about God being an asshole, written by a guy that is notoriously edgy and disliked by producers. And it's true that most works are a cooperative effort, but that doesn't change the fact that all of Overwatch's characters are the equivalent of this.

They're all really boring and bland takes on established archetypes, and it's very clear that they were designed with just selling them in mind and making them as popular and safe as possible, instead of there being one guy who really wanted to create them because they liked that sort of thing.

As for what I have personally witnessed, back when LEGO Dimensions was first coming out I saw several threads full of generic comments like "I can't wait to buy this for my son for Christmas!" and etc.

Also lol don't even try to tell me Hitman threads were not paid advertisers.

Yeah probably. I went into the beta with no intention of buying it. The first couple days made me rage really hard playing it, but I got used to it and had a lot of fun the last 2-3 days.

Jeff Kaplan is a great dev, and he's at the helm. How could it be bad? All the shit devs are on WoW anyway.

Good for you. I thought the first one was shit and what i've seen and played of the second i thought was equally if not more shitty. That's your opinion and i literally don't give a shit.

BUT, to write off any criticism of games that use it as salty butthurt pirates is fucking dumb, especially when 90% of those games have a history of being hated, or are produced by companies that are despised.

Also my opinions are entirely my own. I know to you i'm some amorphous 'anon' but sincerely, we are all our own people, your broad generalizations and sweeping declarations are childish as fuck and i'm just pointing out there is a different side to the story you're so convinced of, you can take it or leave it and insinuate i'm some brainwashed shill, but it's entirely reasonable for a person to dislike a game that uses Denuvo for any number of reasons other than "Hurr hes a poorfag pirate, of course hes going to shit on a game he can't pirate XDD."

Yeah no shit. They're also on the bottom of the scoreboard and completely useless.

>1 shoot body kill more then half of the classes
4 out of 9. Which is less than half. The engi and spy usually not being in the line of sight of the sniper and the scout having a highspeed and double jump, making him a harder target.

Neither can the TF2 sniper.

Are you clinically retarded or you've just never played TF2 or Overwatch?
Widow charges her shots twice as fast the TF2 sniper and she has a freaking semi-automatic sniper rifle. Meaning she can literally double click people to death. No need to reacquire the target, no big delay between two shots, just a double click to the body and it's over.

Good luck doing that in tf2. Now this discussion is over as I really don't have any time to waste with a mentally challenged child who apparently never touched a shooter in his life.

since when was it decided that TF2 is balanced? half the cast is rendered irrelevant by the soldier and the other half by the demo, less than half the classes are played in competitive and the average comp game is decided by ultimates in the same way overwatch usually is, except only the medic has an ultimate.

it's batshit to think that people consider that game balanced. it's fun as FUCK but balance isn't a part of what makes it fun

1.Sniper
2.Spy

this are 5 classes and not 4 how you said and if the game has 9 classes in total that means that 1 class can 1 kill body shoot more then half of the classes in the game and this is exactly what I said on the start.

not even the guy you're arguing with.
Some pro sniper players did use aimbot, although I don't see how that's relevant, even so overwatch is already filled with hackers even the """""pro scene""""" has shown it has hackers.
random crits can be disabled (and are on competitive matches). Also you can get better at getting random crits by killing people, for every person you killed in the last ~20 seconds you get a ~3% extra chance on getting crits.
Once more I don't see how this is relevant when you're trying to defend a game with "PRESS Q TO WIN" abilities?
Maybe you should try getting good at TF2 before you shit on it and start defending a game you think is better because you're better at it (because everyone is good at overwatch cause it's so piss easy).
Overwatch is so piss easy that I got frustrated and thought I was doing bad when I had a 22/7 kill/death ratio.

TF2 is kinda dying and seeing all these people get their dicks hard for a game that's pretty much the same but with depth and balance removed (and terrible maps) kind of makes me sad, especially cause it's so easy to tell that people who are defending overwatch over tf2 are either complete shit at tf2 or have never played it.

taking no 1 sides here but TF2 was ridiculed on /v/ how shitty the balance is and what a casual game it is.

Making the game later F2P and adding cosmetic that in no way or form fit into the TF2 universe didn't help much.

Also it didn't help that the game is awful balanced that people are literally banning people for using more then 2 soldiers or demos.

I know many of your TF2 players are sad about Valve giving all its attention to Dota 2 and CS:Go but if you should be angry on someone its on Valve for letting people use aimbots for 3 years and fucking the game up with F2P.

>>337364606
>There are also no ults in the game that cannot be countered. But please, keep trying.
Of course not, it's a game of counterpick the enemy team's character, just like pretty much every moba.
And it still is press Q to win 90% of the time, because every normal person uses it to kill people. And what does killing people do? Contribute to the objective because when using your epic Q press you want to kill as much people as possible, and most people are all bunched up/camping at the objective (or at the terrible designed map's chokepoints).
This all said, I do have to give overwatch some kind of credit for the fact that pretty much every game teams seemed very focussed on the overall objective instead of just pretending it's team deathmatch.

The problem is /v/ is filled with newfags/normies right now, so shilling is more aggressive than before. Also lots of people got bored of the game pretty fast. Blizzard probably can see that the game wont last for too long. That's why they shill it like there is no tomorrow.

I never stated that one should immediately use their epic Q press as soon as it becomes availlable. That's not even what this is all about

After reaching a higher level and playing with people of higher level and experience, I rarely saw ultimates being thrown out unless it was during critical moments, such as contested points fractions from capture, or carts inches from checkpoints.

They certainly weren't done to get the highest amount of people killed. Of course, this was in games with experienced players; I imagine it's a lot more focused on individual success at lesser skill levels.

Go back to your whole you fucking Valve shill.
Every fucking day Valve shills are trying to shit on other games and promoting to buy every game on steam.

what? what do steam sales have to do with it?

this is pretty unprecedented.

basically 60% of /v/ is buying/ preordering a game at launch?

It's funny how you want people to not look down on others and yet you have this level of grandeur where you think others are shut-ins just because they say stupid shit on the internet.

The most frustrating part is that they only changed it right after the beta ended, during the beta it was the same price as for America. I'd already decided I was going to get it after the first few days, but I ran over my data cap two days before the beta ended and by the time I could use my internet again the price had been fixed.
It's frustrating as fuck.

Well most of the Ultimates arent even that good how they seem on papper, Soldiers Ultimate with auto aim makes you auto target people but you cant make headshots anymore while its active and it means that the tanks will shit on you easy , its most likely that if you use it people hear it and run behind corner or a sniper 1 shoot kills you or a Mc Cree stuns and insta kills you.

I always hate the comparison to TF2. TF2 launched with 6 maps at $30, not to mention Pyro being useless for half a year and medic being useless for only a few months before that.

Overwatch is launching at $40, which isn't a bargain, but has 12 maps and so far is more balanced than TF2 was. It's not perfect, but it's in better shape.
>>
>>337366371

You have your head waaaay up in your ass dude. You don't think you're above them and yet you don't want to be associated with their kind, right?

It's like being rich and at the same time being embarrassed because poor people exist.

> You're a complete dipshit

For someone with a STEM major you sure don't know how to keep your cool.

>>337366432
Every map is a corridor with chokepoints and a few branching paths. It's hard to distinct maps. The biggest difference is the visuals. Most maps are tiny too.
>>
>>337366761
TF2 cost $20

>>337366658

I am not sure if you're aware of this but Anons that dodge bans around here can do the same shit in that site.

You've literally just described every first person shooter multiplayer map ever made.

places where the only thing you can do is move through that one gate without having a different route.
>Can't stand/run on 90% of the rooftops even though one of the trailers show off a rooftop chase and even though there would be no problem at all if you could actually walk on them.

>Muh graphics over actual convenient maps
try playing genji or hanzo and climb on shit, 95% of the time there's some annoying wall decoration preventing you from properly climbing up the wall.

All in all most king of the hill maps are ok, but the payload and attack defense maps are horse shit.
Especially because they're balanced by making everyone walk half an hour

Great strawman kiddo. It doesn't take "an insane amount of experience and skill" to know to save your ultimates for the actual objective in an objective-based game mode, but it takes more than zero, and it 100% shows in the gap between high and low skill levels in this game.

It makes a big difference in-game. You'd have to be an absolute fucking fool to disagree.

>Please man, save it. Overwatch is bland and boring.

What a high-brow and insightful insult (?).

Anyways, I might have my head up my ass, but not nearly as far as you. Remember we're still talking about the people who "mock liberal arts majors", or whatever 'worthless degree.' Anyone who does that and takes themselves seriously is a joke.

And, speaking to my point, 'most people' who do that are the same aforementioned weiners. Probably because you're one of those weiners yourself.
>>
>>337367072
It was, but all the games were available for purchase individually alongside the orange box on steam.

When the Orange Box launched, TF2 was available separately for $30.

There is no skill levels. The game is about muh equality. The skill ceiling is so low that everyone is good at the game.

Great, the only thing I need to do to become a high level skilled player is learn to use my epic Q press when it's viable for the objective, thanks!
All other ""skill"" in this game is 99% picking a hero that counters as many enemy heroes as possible, then you wait till the enemy team has counterpicked your team after 3 minutes and then your team once again counterpicks and so on, great game.

Also name 3 maps that aren't shit
>>
>>337367364
no I've never looked into bots/ never needed them
>>
>>337367481
But regardless, TF2, when it was first originally sold standalone, was $30.
>>
>>337367565 (You)

Me too. Fuck haters!
>>
>>337367580
dude come on, just concede this one. Even redditors will agree that the game has a low skill ceiling and they'll even say claiming the game is high skill is laughable.

Just accept it's fun for everyone
>>
>>337366440
>How do I counter Widowmaker ult?

Pretty easily.

You just change your approach, nigger. You can hear her shouting her line through the whole map. You know that her team has wallhack, so you know to err on the side of caution for the painfully short duration of the ability.

Take more care around corners and blind spots. Her ult doesn't make people's aim better. Widowmaker's ult is only as strong as you let it be by thinking rushing around corners is as safe as it normally would be. And yes, this is countering the ability because the ability itself isn't all that amazing to begin with unless your opponents are simpering toddlers.

Checkmate Atheists, indeed.
>>
>>337367665
And by the time it went standalone it had more maps and improvements.
>>
>>337367580
>Now just on my experience playing with pubs, I know that is bullshit.
There is no advanced techniques. Almost every gun is impossible to miss with. Lots of autoaim abilities. Epic Q press also takes no skill.
>>
>>337367784
>Even redditors will agree

All the more reason to ignore your opinion.
>>
>>337367242

Uh... that was an observation, not an insult.

Also, you really need to chilld dude. I only came to this thread and asked why get worked up so hard over a joke.

More than likely people mocking those liberal arts dudes don't even have a major to begin with.

Just because I say I am Alber Einsten and STEM majors are retarded doesn't mean it's actually true. You're in an Anonymous board for fucks sake, anyone can say whatever shit they want without proof.

It's not hard to come to the conclusion that you're about as close-minded as the rest of your side of the argument is about the subject.

>>
>>337367784
I don't think that's his point. I think his point is that you're vastly overestimating how bad some people can be at video games.

No, it didn't. I bought it before the first map update. It was $30 before cp_badlands was added in and any balance updates.

let me rephrase this

even Blizzard shill-filled no opinions allowed reddit laughs off people who say the game is highskill. The difficulty is in the burden of knowledge/ making good team compositions and knowing when to switch classes
>>
>>337367823

Sorry but when TF2 released only had 6 maps, 9 classes, and stock weapons only.

All that content for 30 dollars.

Oh but because it's valve it's ok for them to do it right?
