>>339438124
There's a point where media shilling has a price, and a point where the reputation hit isn't worth it.
Blizzard thinks they found the sweet spot and I wonder if they actually did. What are these critics going to do when people drop off the game in a week and they look like shit for rating a forgettable mess a 100?
OW is not in the same league as a title like TLoU, which can stay "memorable" after you beat it. This is a competitive shooter being constantly evaluated by the players. People won't forget when they have to admit it's garbage.
>>339438337
It doesn't help that everyone can rate it, even those who do not own the game.
I think the game is about 8/10.
>>339438628

A percentage of negative scores on PC are from Battleborn faggots and on console they're butthurt about the price.
If you browse the PC reviews you'll find plenty either mentioning Battleborn or implying mechanics from it. There's one that gives it a 0/10 purely because it doesn't have the character unlock feature from Battleborn (which is dumb anyways)

I wonder how many times more money Blizzard spent on bribing people and financing shills than actually developing a good game
I'm not surprised. It's a class-based multiplayer shooter that requires intense teamwork and co-ordination, when most people play in fucking pubs.
Ergo, it's not going to be fun for like 90% of the people who play it.

I played the game, it was a dumbed down TF2 clone. It was fun but it's crazy to think that Blizzard wants to turk this shit into an esport. Competitive TF2 was already a fucking joke and I want to know what retard though it was a good idea to make an entire game around that.
>>339441610
Yeah, sure, and none of those players are the old community. The game panders to the lowest common denominator and all that ever happens now is trade servers or sudden congaing stopping the whole match.
The game might as well be dead to anyone who played it before F2P. The updates have been on a steady decline since then.
Is Overwatch the biggest blunder of the century?

>congaing
>>339441928
You haven't played recently, have you? Valve added a conga taunt that can be spread to the entire server to create a giant line. Whenever I tried to play after that there'd always be sudden random congas and an influx of Friendly Heavies, although that's been going on since the start of F2P.
People don't play the game. They mod it into a brony wet dream, trade, or do stupid shit.
>>339441759
>The game might as well be dead to anyone who played it before F2P
I played the game before it went F2P, that update improved the game a lot, especially because Valve added tons good servers of their own that run the game without any stupid mods.
Some old servers are gone but there are still tons of modded servers with great custom maps still active. Playing a while ago I was shocked to see that VSH has motherfucking Skeleton King now.
>>339441760
Considering its sales I don't think so
Battleborn however...
>>339442093
I played it last week. Now go kill you're self shill.
Also I was there when the conga was added, it was fun as fuck to do conga for a while but that shit went away pretty quickly.

Don't call me a fucking shill. I used to love the game and it's still my most played game on Steam despite the fact that I have not played the game for real in several years. I only logged on last year to empty out my inventory for money.
Everything I enjoyed about it is gone.
>>339442680
>And besides who fucking cares about competitive?
Blizzard, that's their whole focus, that's why they made the game 6v6 only.
>>339442742
Even if you are not lying (which is very unlikely) you are saying that you haven't played the game in the last 2 years. You have no idea of the current state of the game.
Which hasn't changed all that much, the game went F2P back in 2011 and that's when Valve added a lot of their own official servers. Playing the game on an official server is still the same fucking experience.

You can try harder shill.
>>339443351
>you're a shill if you don't like seeing a game become warped over time into something unrecognizable
And if you must know, Overwatch has been annoying the piss out of me lately. The tick rate has given me absolutely unjustifiable deaths after dashing with Genji and I'm tired of always dying from the same bullshit, one-shots, an overpowered cowboy, or otherwise shenanigans with poor hitboxes. Especially because despite the game promoting good team setup certain all single class picks can dominate.
So please, go ahead and send me money if you want to call me a shill so much.
>>339442276
>I played the game before it went F2P, that update improved the game a lot
Yeah by letting BRs, hackers, ruskies, 13 year olds, ponyfaggots that joined because you can paint your clothing as pony colors! XD and whatnot.
Just the other day I tried to enter dedicated and community servers and I was stomping those kids so hard it was boring.
How did becoming F2P improved the game? It only benefited valve's pocket.
>>339438267
Every day until you like it
>>339443651
At the risk of sounding uneducated, what is tick rate?
>>339443796
From google:
"Tickrate is the rate, at which the server can "see" things which change. That means on 64 Tick Server that 1 second reallife is 64 ticks. That means that all calculations are barely done 64 times per second. That has nothing to do with your monitor or other things."
To put it into perspective, Overwatch has a tick rate of 20 which is really subpar for FPS games because most go to at least 64.
Oh wait, Blizzard clearly pays me so I need to defend it.
>>339443759
>Yeah by letting BRs, hackers, ruskies, 13 year olds, ponyfaggots that joined because you can paint your clothing as pony colors! XD and whatnot.
All those scary foreign people don't show up in your games unless you look for them. Valve has servers all over the world, and if you are not playing on a server near your region then you get insanely high ping which is basically unplayable.
Ponyfags have their own servers, and they are not that bad, once I ended in one of those servers and they were very friendly.
13 year olds are inevitable in any popular game.
>>339438124
user score seems justified considering the lack of content.
>>339444023
Alright, thanks for the explanation, I don't know anything about FPS so it was really the first time I'd heard the term andGoogle is blocked in my country for the next 22 hours.
>>339444145
13 year olds were a lot less frequent before F2P because of the paywall. But ever since the game went F2P the average skill of players has gone way down and the amount of W+M1 pyros and heavies has gone way way up.
>>339444324Overwatch was the first time I heard the term from the complaints of it and I was too lazy to make my own definition, that's all. But after I heard about it I can really see the difference when I play it compared to other shooters.
>pay for game

wooooow
>>339438124
Why is this game so highly regarded? I played a little of it today, it plays like a tf2 clone which a bunch generic heroes. It's like if China were to make a bootleg tf2 with Tencent or whatever. And the "hero" bullshit story was stupid. "look how Pixar we are, guis!" They couldn't even fully animate the fucking intro and instead they used paintings to illustrate what was happening. And this is supposed to be Blizzard, the cgi kings of the video game market?
6/10 game.
>>339444335
Being more popular means more casuals playing, what a shocking discovery.
>>339444560
I never said F2P making communities shit was anything new. TF2 just got hit with it super hard and that takes away from the fun.
9.2 feels way too generous. Splatoon launched with more content and got shit on for not having enough. Activision pays big bucks to the San Fransisco club.
I love the game for the record. A benefactor bought it for me, I did not want to pay for it with the current amount of content. I'm 30 levels + but it suffers from needing at least one more mode.
>>339444685
Well the game was never very hard or competitive so I don't see what's the big loss. At least you can have pubstomp without the matchmaking system forcing you to play with retards to get a more even win/loss ratio.
>>339444842
I know you're referring to Overwatch with that and I can agree with that. Sucks that me disliking modern TF2 always gets me connected to Overwatch now even when I am not in an Overwatch thread.
Whenever I play Overwatch the amount of fun I have or skill I see decreases a lot in the solo queue because of the matchmaking. I always need to play with at least one friend in a lobby for a more balanced match.
But as for TF2, it takes away at least for me because I'm not one who enjoys having three Gibus snipers on my team or having to deal with Pyro after Pyro who just holds down left click and runs at you.
MVM could be fun but there's too many people who act retarded on Mann Up and then get angry when the rest of the team gets mad at them.

I think you're forgetting just how little content the game actually launched with. It's pretty good now, but it was so bad at launch that I didn't play the whole summer because it wasn't worth launching the game to try the one new map they released a week.
>Overwatch players just can't accept that while their game is very fun, it's extremely flawed
You honestly can't tell me that:

>the game is even close to be being balanced
>TF2 isn't its primary influence
>the main draw of this game is't the sexy female and anime characters
>it's not even better than what slavshit C-team made for mere 2 million bucks in 6 months
bravo, blizzard
>>339445935
Splatoon launched with more than Overwatch. Unless you want to be a pissant and say that different character skins make Overwatch more varied, despite Splatoon having various weapons.
I own both games, enjoy both. Splatoon was unfairly over criticized for something Overwatch is objectively worse about.
Again, like and play both.
It's hilarious how kids think all new games should be f2p.
>>339445551

I got Overwatch for free so I can't really complain, but there's no way in hell it has enough content to justify its asking price.

>any character has versatility in gameplay / playstyle
the design are not meant to have versatility in one heroes. But to let u have different heroes to adapt to each situation.
if you can't even understand that, i don't blame u for not understand the game either.
>the game is even close to be being balanced
Doesn't matter if someone think the game is balanced or not.
You can pick a Duplicated hero, despite he/she already being in yours/enemy's team.
You have no excuse to cry over a "OP" hero when you can pick the same hero and "pwned" others if it's as "OP" as u claimed.
>TF2 isn't its primary influence
And?
do we have to trace game by game all the way back to it's very first game of the genre?
every game is more or less inspired and influenced by something.
>the main draw of this game is't the sexy female and anime characters
False, it's just "one of the" draws.
If you claim sexy female and anime characters can sell, and not the gameplay/etc.
Explain why other fan service games don't sell as much.
>Overwatch players just can't accept that while their game is very fun, it's extremely flawed
Every game is flawed.
Overwatch is not "extremely" flawed.

>Poor amount of content even when you just accept it as a MP only game because of limited game modes/maps at the moment
>40 dollars on PC which is too high and 60 on console which is insane
>Shallow shooter and most of the depth comes from meta around team comp/flanking which gets old after awhile and team comp meta is just shit that runs itself
I don't think its special. Even the most fluid characters besides maybe Genji/Tracer that feel okay feel shallow as fuck and the core gameplay for most characters is like a puddle of depth.
>>339449234
Still too much
Game is worth $20 tops, I still wouldn't pay for it because Activision is charging you for a game they're selling as p2w.
They ruined AW and BO3 with this practice and I'm simply not going to buy their games.
>>339449585
>pay to win
>FUCK THESE COSMETICS MAKE ME WIN SO HARDER HNNNNG, BETTER KEEP TOSSING MONEY INSTEAD OF PLAYING 4 GAMES A BOX
>>339449476
League had the advantage of being a forced marketing meme when there really were no accessible DOTA clones that were free.
That's the only reason league still matters today.
There's a billion competitive shooters, and the big ones are played out like TF2. To make matters worse, they casualized it but still want the esports crowd with ultimates and shitty tickrate, two things in stark contradiction of that goal.
OW will go the way of HoTS/SC2, guaranteed.
>>339449585
I would pay $30 maybe. Somebody bought it for me, but I could see sinking $30 since they said all additional content will be free. It remains to be seen how little additional content will arrive.

It started as cosmetics and it got into guns. They're waiting for the playerbase to gradually accept what they're buying into. Same thing happened with cod, it didn't happen all at once.
>>339446131
My problem is the play style one.
>Play any of my characters besides 76
>Have to play 1 specific way that usually has almost no depth just to be a asset to my team
>Run into that one character that is a problem or multiple characters etc
>Oh just counter pick them with this other one.
But i like the characters i use. But mechanically they're too shallow for individual skill to depth so i'm forced to play ones i don't enjoy or else i lose or struggle alot harder to win.
But then again class based shooters have always been a step below true arena shooters/even basic standard shooters to me. They create barriers that make you rely on meta to handle situations instead of just giving you enough tools to make anything work with enough effort.
>>339448460
>Not extremely flawed
Keep thinking that. The map design and limited game modes alone show how shit its going to be in the long run. It has no fucking depth in its gunplay and its going to devolve into a meta counter pick game with specific team comps being seen all day.

This game was The Force Awakens of video games.

if the new vegas threads can go on forever, long past the point where they offer real game discussion, then Overwatch should have as many threads as it wants.
D.Va is fine. She has more mobility than Winston and her fire and shield are better too if you don't suck.
Before you read anybody's complaint against a character, ask yourself
>Did this person recently play with a shitty player using this character, or do they suck ass themselves?
Good chance it's one or both. Every character is good in context. That's what this game is all about. Switching, there is a role to fill for any of them, but not all the time.
>>339450536

>>339455560
It's a 6/10 because it's still Team Fortress 2, you retards. And he didn't say he hated it.
Someone said that there reason why Overwatch doesn't havea proper campaign is supposedly because they stated in an interview (sorry, can't find it) around Blizzcon that they would like to explore the potential for the OW universe in other style of games. The OW-fps we have now is just the start. We might see an mmorpg, RTS in the future.
Sounds like the game equivalent of this:

I'm pretty over MMORPGs as a genre now.
