>assfaggots is garbage

>Overwatch is amazing!
>you have to pay for skins
>almost no skill involved
>copied moveset

I've asked several different people why they like Overwatch. "It's fun" was the main general response. None of them seem to say anything after that.
Why is it fun?
What makes it fun?

I've seen plenty of gameplay footage. It has no appeal other than hearing the characters make quips. It's like the fanbase never got into FPS's and this is the first one they really got into because Blizzard made it. Do you think there is bias because they had to pay for the game?

It's starving in game modes. From what I've watched, it lacks balance. Hitboxes are all over the place. Tons of moves that auto lock or have wide area cover.

I know /v/ can easily be a place for marketers to spam their bullshit, but is anyone falling for it?

Where do you think we are?

I've noticed tons of you shills do this "hasn't played it" argument only for it to backfire. You bring up no counter points.

I guess this means you should play every game you've ever seen to REALLY get a scope on it's quality. I mean, that's the only way to know for sure it's not shit!

Blizzard seal of polish, every aspect of the game runs smooth as butter- movement, shooting, general UI
A good roster of characters, each has some ínteresting part to them, haven't find one yet that I dislike playing
Big reliance on teamplay and positioning, giving the game more depth than is obvious at first glance, sound design is also breddy gud and vital for the gameplay
It has its flaws like too few gamemodes and no server browser but it's still pretty fun to play

When you can't explain WHY or HOW it's fun, what's the point?

When someone asks you about your favorite game, do you just shrug and say "It's fun?"
Fuck no.
If they're really interested you tell them about all the stuff you find fun. All the cool stuff. Etc.

Why is it that this game gets a free pass for being fun, when there have been other shooters with character specific traits?

Because in a world with individual tastes and opinions, someone finding a game fun doesn't make it a fun game. It just makes it a game that is fun to them.

No one should have to argue with you about why they enjoy something unless they're trying to convince you to buy it, and chances are if someone is trying to sell you something they already know which details they're going to stress.

The majority of the people bitching about this game fall in the "I'm too poor to afford $40 so I'll pretend TF2 hasn't been dead for 5 years" crowd and it's really fucking sad.

In a world with anonymous posters, you're not always replying to the same person.

It's not the most legitimate answer, but you're coming from an extremely antagonistic viewpoint of already having a base dislike of the game. Trying to convince you to think otherwise is a waste of both of our time and you just want something to argue about.

Now, were you to say "Hey, I was thinking about getting Overwatch. What are some pros and cons of the game?", you'd get far more detailed responses than saying "Here is a game I dislike because people say it's fun. So not only do you have to convince me to not dislike it, you also have to convince me to approve of it".

No one has time for that nonsense. Just read numerous reviews. Some positive, some negative.

Why is it fun? What makes it fun?

Diverse characters, evocative world design, high level of polish. Figuring out new ways of approaching the game using the various characters.

If that doesn't please you, then why is it fun? Because when I play the game, my brain sends signals that I apparently enjoy and would keep to keep those various electrical signals to keep pulsing through my brain.

If no words explaining the reason why X person finds it fun, then I have provided a scientific explanation. I like the game, if I can't express it in words that please you, then I don't know what you tell you, sorry.

The game is fun, but it has many issues:

I'm sure there are more things, but these are the main problems i have with the game right now.

Are you tell'ng me that you want a single player experience to justify the price? Also 40 dollars for a game with such replayability is in no way shape or form "expensive" unless you're a poor NEET. If you don't like the game, fine. But don't go spouting idiotic shit like this.

Got less than an hour on Genji and already feel like a pro.

Meanwhile, over at ASSFAGGOTS, it takes at least 20 games to fully master a champion and get everything down, and even then I feel like it's not enough, and most of the time it isn't. That's why you have retards with over 2000 games with 1 champion

The games are 40 minutes long each. You ult every 10 minutes or whatever. It's frustrating as hell and the mindless farming doesn't help at all and sometimes your progress can just get wiped out if the game progresses long enougn.

This is why URF was so popular. Rito should've right away after 2014 just went with that and worked on balancing it and making it a fulltime part of the game. In fact, that's what they implied when they first announced it, that it would be the future of League. But nope, now it's just something they threw away like the fucking idiots they are never thinking that their shitty game would get stale and destroyed by competition

Oh so we're using buzzwords like "pointless" now? Well in that case Overwatch itself is pointless since it doesn't even have any kind of progress. It's the exact same shit over and over ad infinitum with low amounts of content, modes, etc.

>Are you tell'ng me that you want a single player experience to justify the price?

I want it to feel like I'm getting my money's worth. Don't even start with this "replayability" shit when you can play Pong forever but that doesn't justify a 60$ or even 40$ pricetag (only on PC).

It has fucking few maps, even fewer modes (3, but really it's just 2), few heroes, no depth, no SP, no nothing. Not even a good progression system.
You can see everything the game has to offer in under 1h. This is the very reason why people think that it should've been F2P (I don't however), because it has about as much content as release TF2 did and that doesn't even a 40$ game, but bundled in the Orange Box and later sold at less than 20$.

I haven't been able to enjoy games these past few years, but Overwatch is really addicting. Never played a shooter before, either.

That's not a buzzword anon, it's the truth. People don't play Quake 3A/Live or Unreal 2k4 for a good single player experience.

>Well in that case Overwatch itself is pointless since it doesn't even have any kind of progress.

At least do your research anon, the game has a progression system with competitive mode coming in a month.

>Don't even start with this "replayability" shit when you can play Pong forever but that doesn't justify a 60$ or even 40$ pricetag (only on PC).

Does pong have 21 character and 12 maps with more coming soon? Does it have teamplay? Or different strategy to how each game is played?

>It has fucking few maps, even fewer modes (3, but really it's just 2), few heroes, no depth, no SP, no nothing. Not even a good progression system.

Maybe if you repeat this enough you'll make others believe in you. TF2 fucking launched with 6 maps and was extremely well liked. Saying that it has no depth is just retarded. What kind of depth do you expect from a first person shooter? You point at people and shoot them, it's always been the case.

You just seem displeased with the price tag which I can't at all agree with. 40 bucks prevents underaged kids from playing and disincentivizes hackers from hacking.

Right, the only arguments that seem to pop up are from people that are getting super pissed they can't justify the video game other than "i like it" while other anons actually put thought into their posts with reasons and explanations like I originally wanted.

I hate these people, either they don't play fps games, or they like to "pretend" they play dead arena shooters that nobody else plays anymore (people stopped playing those because didn't find them fun anymore).

Imo OW is perfect middle way. It's more engaging and fun than TF2 (which is enough), and it requires more skill in certain areas than TF2, you can't play actually more classes than scout/demo/soldier/medic , because those were the only comp classes

Oh but it has moba elements like skills? Well if you don't like it then you can wait for UT4 to be released and stop bitching, yes? Or if you don't play fps games then gtfo.

I came from battleborn to overwatch originally. Is there something I wish OW had? Yes, BB showed that base vs base is indeed where my true heart resides, I wish OW had either CTF or some other base vs base game mode. Yes I would "maybe" jump into a game that does base vs base very good, but those are niche and tend to die quickly. I liked Crysis 1 mp / wars because it had base captures / tanks etc, but those games don't seem to be what industry wants. No the current BF games are not what I want either, THOSE are the kiddies casual games.

Arma 3 failed, there's nothing to play, I'll stay with OW for time being.

If you think mobas like LoL and DotA don't take any skill at all, then there's something wrong with you / you don't know any better. OW might have less emphasis on shooting than TF2 (which in turn has less than quake), but it has the moba skills / team fight skills / have to have good situational awareness.

I have like 60 hours in OW and the game's already getting stale. There's no hero or map variety, every fucking match plays the same.
OW heroes only have a single unique selling point and don't do anything else, unlike in assfaggots like dota where there's always a multitude of builds and playstyles even with one hero. And since there's so many, barring FOTM, no two matches are ever the same. Compare to OW, every fucking match plays the bloody same. A reinhardt on the payload, a mercy on their balls, mccree covering the flanks, a torbjorn on defence, a symmetra on the first cap, a lucio in every fucking game. This game needs some fucking variety, stat. Give the heroes, all of them, more versatility, so they don't suck at everything that isn't their designated job.

I have retard. The "progression" in this game is a fucking joke.

That's it.

Also this "ranked" mode won't change a fucking thing, even if they slap on some dumb MMR number.
Fucking CoD has 100x better progression system than Overwatch.
Overwatch is one of the most pointless games you can play if you want to go that route.

>Does pong have 21 character and 12 maps with more coming soon? Does it have teamplay? Or different strategy to how each game is played?

Does Overwatch have 2 lines and a ball? Is Overwatch a timeless classic? Does it have perfect balance where individual skill trumps all?
This is the kind of retarded reasoning you're using.

>Maybe if you repeat this enough you'll make others believe in you.

Yeah man, Overwatch has 30 maps, 7 modes, etc.

>TF2 fucking launched with 6 maps and was extremely well liked

Again retard, TF2 was not a 40-60$ game, a AAA game with massive marketing behind it. It was one tiny game in a package consisting of Portal and Half-Life 2: Ep2.

>Saying that it has no depth is just retarded

No it's not retard. It's designed to be accessible and shallow so any retard can pick up and play it. You can master a character in this game in sub 15min. After that all you have to do is improve your aiming which isn't depth, but something inherent to fucking any FPS.

A game like Quake 3 Arena or UT took way way more skill to get good at. Knowing the maps and timings actually mattered as did mastering all the weapons with all of their quirks. Overwatch is a massive fucking dissapointment, which is all current Blizzard seem capable of doing.

It comes down to another point, does a game need to have progression system to be inherently good? Some of the best classics like Return to castle Wolfenstein MP or BF1942 did not have any progression system either, and people played those games non-stop when they were around. Have you seriously not played any games beside the newest BF and CoDs? I mean yeah it worked well on BF2 because the game itself was good, but everything after that has been cancer because the games have been bad, and no item / progression system can compensate for inherently bad game.

Quick drop in and drop out play. Assfaggots usually require 30 to 45 minutes, overwatch is 10 to 15 average per round.

You can change hero on the fly to adapt

Very little micro, low skill ceiling

Map awareness is important but not as important

It's basically just casual and fun, meant to be played in short bursts.

I'm trying to play Widowmaker to practice my aim but what always ends up happening is they also pick Widow just trade ult kills back and forth. There's next to no sound cue for it so even if I know exactly where she is (without ult), strafe out perfectly with her lined up, I end up dying because of the see through walls shit is on. And she gets it so quickly it happens every 60 seconds it feels like. I mean I guess its "balanced" in that I get it too but what the fuck is the point? Its just a skillless death or kill that's totally out of your hands.

That's really my whole issue with the game. No matter how good you are, eventually some faggots Q is going to just ruin you. The whole game is just mindlessly trading your ultimates back and forth for ebin kill feeds. Ultimates really take away from the game.

If you think Q3 was the only arena shooter (or the biggest one) that people played then you're massively ignorant.

Also UT was overall the much better *game*. The more complete package with more modes and so on. The modding scene was also strong while Overwatch has no fucking modding or even private servers.

>Yeah man, Overwatch has 30 maps, 7 modes, etc.
>Few maps, fewer heroes, no depth, no sp
Your words not mine. Fewer heroes? It has too many heroes by any team based FPS standard out there. Most of them have 6-8 heroes.

Actually retard, TF2 was a 50$ game when it launched. It was in the orange box. Later on it went down to being sold by itself for 20$. It being a tiny game among other old games is irrelevant. You had to pay 50$ to play it. And Overwatch is imcomparable to TF2 at launch. It has way more content in it.

>You can master a character in this game in sub 15min. After that all you have to do is improve your aiming which isn't depth, but something inherent to fucking any FPS.

Ahahahahah, I'm fucking done. You have mental issues. What kind of "depth" are you talking about when all there is is gun accuracy, situational awareness and listening to sounds in other Arena FPS.

>A game like Quake 3 Arena or UT took way way more skill to get good at.
I never said that Overwatch was better than those games, nor did I say it requires more skill. You're bringing up moot points. After playing a billion hours of Quake and Unreal, you tend to want something different.

To sum it up:

It's a blizzard game so blizzdrones will buy and play it no matter what.

It's simple and casual, the skill-ceiling is non-existent. That caters to everyone not looking to play competitively, which is 99% of the playerbase.

Blizzard did a great job making the women in the game attractive looking, securing millions of beta waifu-fags cashing out for just that. Seriously this is the easiest group by far to get hooked. Just show them a nicely animated ass and they're sold.

It probably won't ever be a serious competitive game though, due to low ticks and the fact that the game is immensly boring to watch.
>>
>>339921309
>It does when it has low content and is shallow.
More maps than TF2, more detail in maps, more heroes, more builds

>it get boring for anyone requiring any form of brain activity to have fun.
Your opinion with no basis, which you can shove up your ass.

>If you think Q3 was the only arena shooter (or the biggest one) that people played then you're massively ignorant.

There were UTs and Qs, out of which Qs had significantly more players to play.

>Also UT was overall the much better *game*. The more complete package with more modes and so on.

The way I saw it, everyone was playing Quake mostly. Sure there probably were those who preferred UTs, but the way I see it most were playing Quake.

People pretending TF2, UT or Quake matter this day. Those are small games for small audiences, people who like them can play them, but it's utter fallacy to expect a wider audience of players to adopt those games. Why learn a set of skills that wont be useful in any other game than those few, that are not even made these days?

Hell, it's either pretending, or just people who don't play fps games at all. It's pretty obvious that anyone who values fps games doesn't have a reason "not" to play OW, because it has some of the best mechanics out of modern fps game, very good gameplay, many heroes.. or are you going to send people play Tribes 1? Lets get real here.
>>
>>339921458
>Moving the goalposts much?

You don't even know what that means.
What I did was use the exact same argument you did, but reword it to prove how stupid it was.
You see you listed differences of Pong compared to Overwatch, when the argument was about "infinite replayability" not being a good argument to justify any pricetag. In other words YOU moved goalposts here.

>Your words not mine.

You claimed what I said wasn't true, now you backpedal. GJ.

>It has too many heroes by any team based FPS standard out there.

With how shallow they are, yes they are too few. Now this wouldn't have been as big of an issue if the rest of the game wasn't low on content and shallow.
You see the main issue is that it gets boring fast because there is no good chunk of content (like modes or w/e) to sink your teeth into or dig deep in the the good depth the game could've had.

>Actually retard, TF2 was a 50$ game when it launched.

Oh wow, you can't even read what I said, well done megatard. I already said that TF2 was packaged in the Orange Box WHICH ALSO HAS EP2 OF HL2 AND PORTAL IN IT FOR 10$ MORE THAN OVERWATCH LOWEST PC PRICE.

>What kind of "depth" are you talking about when all there is is gun accuracy, situational awarene...

Because you have to learn the maps (which are 100x better designed in the older games) because of gun. powerup and health placements (a big deal). Then each gun was way more difficult to use than in Overwatch.
For example the Shock Rifle in UT can be amazing once you learn to properly use the beam and the ball along with consistently using the function of shooting the ball with the beam to detonate it. In UT you had to learn and master all weapons since you don't pick weapons, you use whatever you can find and all of them are balanced around being about just as lethal as the other ones.
There is more you can elaborate on this but it's clear you have borderline 0 experience in this genre.

Go back to your reddit hugbox echo chamber.

I'm a TF2 veteran, I played it during launch since day 1, I had my fun with the casual game mode and 16v16 of it, but the moment you enter comp mode it's only 2scout / 2soldier / 1medic / 1demo , that shit ain't no fun nor engaging imo. And it didn't have any matchmaking for that style of play, you had to find players from irc, I think you still do, because from what I heard the new "comp beta" (which is supposed to be matchmaking for comp mode) is pretty much dead. So what the hell are people supposed to play if not OW?

How exactly did I backpedal? How can I backpedal out of disagreement. I still disagree that 12 maps and 21 heroes is not "few" by any standard out there. You're the one you can't stick up to your views.

>You see the main issue is that it gets boring fast because there is no good chunk of content (like modes or w/e) to sink your teeth into or dig deep in the the good depth the game could've had.

And that's fine if you think that way. But it's an opinion. I as well as many other people don't think that the game is low on content or that it's shallow compared to other games of the genre.

>Oh wow, you can't even read what I said, well done megatard. I already said that TF2 was packaged in the Orange Box WHICH ALSO HAS EP2 OF HL2 AND PORTAL IN IT FOR 10$ MORE THAN OVERWATCH LOWEST PC PRICE.

And I already said that that's irrelevent because you had to pay the price to play the game anyway. They just bundles up old shit to sell their game.

>Because you have to learn the maps (which are 100x better designed in the older games) because of gun. powerup and health placements (a big deal).

The maps are designed with different philosophies in mind. Overwatch does not play like Quake, it's much more team oriented. And as such the games are designed around objectives.

>Then each gun was way more difficult to use than in Overwatch.

Depends entirely on which guns you're talking about. Aside from the obvious auto-aim guns, I don't agree. There are hitscans and projectiles which don't have much difference from game to game.

It's accessible (as in easy to understand and play) and quick to play with one match (sub 20 minutes).

That's enough reason for a lot of people, or to generalize, your "average casual gamer", to try and "like" the game when they play it.

But as an ASSFAGGOTS player, it lacks depth of any kind and I feel like after playing 2-3 games, I've played enough of the game to "get the full experience" of playing every character. Which honestly, makes me feel like I wasted my money.

The problem is that for being so shallow, low on modes, repetitive, etc. this is a problem when it otherwise wouldn't have been, as I have said.
I don't see any reason to further repeat myself, go read my posts properly next time.

>But it's an opinion.

Yes and some people like to eat shit. It's the same thing.
People are saying why they think the game is bad, low value, etc. but you try and "prove" that this isn't the case like a massive retard.
But we already knew about the last part since the beginning.

>They just bundles up old shit to sell their game.

You do know that none of them were "old", right? TF2, Ep2 and Portal were all new and were released together.
Again, this is a point about value and content. Comparing release TF2 alone to release Overwatch is retarded when TF2 was bundled with Ep2 and Portal.
Later on TF2 was released at sub 20$, which is much less than 40-60$ Blizz are selling Overwatch at. Also by that time TF2 had more shit than at release, in addition to the mods and private servers.

>Depends entirely on which guns you're talking about. Aside from the obvious auto-aim guns, I don't agree. There are hitscans and projectiles which don't have much difference from game to game.

Shock Rifle, Flak Cannon, etc. all take more skill than anything in Overwatch.
Overwatch is designed to be easy.

On who? What ability is even mildly similar between the characters? The best I can think of is maybe Winston and Genji's ults for both turning them into melee attackers, but even those 2 are drastically different with completely different applications.

How fucking sad are you? Why don't you name the arena FPS games we should be playing then?
If you're going to say Quake, Unreal, Counter Strike, TF2, too bad. I already have several hundreds of hours in each of those.

>but you're enjoying eating shit, how can you enjoy shit? waaah, why do I have such superior taste than everyone else?

I'll repeat myself. Fuck off and go back to playing the games you like.

Easily accessible with a high skill ceiling based more on team coordination and synergy. That's what Overwatch is all about. There is a fun chaotic side to pubs, but the game is also balanced around each character having a very obvious and specific purpose.

That's the perfect thing about the game though. It's easy enough for plebs, challenging enough for try hards, and works as both a solo experience for CoD shitters, and a team experience for LoL shitters. It manages to combine game dynamics and flaws into one game.

The "lack" of content is looked at through a wrong way too. The game play itself is what offers the variation over maps or campaign. Shooter tend to be very linear with very little difference. You're a basic soldier with a set amount of buttons and a weapon which has 1 or 2 special mechanics. Team based shooters change that and offer variance through classes. Each class interacts differently and forces a different approach from "run and gun" constantly

Look at TF2 with the 24/7 servers of certain maps. Even the base game with no mods has 4 maps or so on rotation with tons of players enjoying it. Even mobas only have one map, but everyone plays it because the content is offered through gameplay instead of bloated map content.

Basically, Overwatch tends to be a great balance between fun and try hard. Plebs will stay in friend groups, and try hards will go into ranked with their "team" to enjoy a serious experience. It's one of the most flexible games to come out, and combine that with the world Blizzard is setting up you get an easy best seller.

I'm not telling you what you play, you deranged monkey.
I'm telling you that the game isn't literal perfection and a ton of people think that Overwatch has a bunch of real problems, hence why they didn't get it or regret getting it.

If you enjoy sniffing dogturds then by all means do so.

Because it is TF2 clone and it was made by Blizzard.

Tons of people will jump on any turd that Blizzard would produce, because "MUH BLIZZARD".

Actual good people no longer works here, but it doesnt matter - people adores mark enough to not look at gameplay, but instead assume that if THAT company made it, it must be good. Same as everyone jumped on Dragon Age, because "MUH BIOWARE".

I saw a video lately, where one of editors caleld Overwatch 6/10 game, with another getting butthurt about that, calling it 10/10 but without producing any real arguments other than "its fun!" and "its Blizzard!".

It's a shame, since they'll never get the wakeup call and actually improve.

Pretty fucking sad that Diablo 3 did as well as it did despite being a massive piece of shit.

Well I've given up on neo Blizzard. It's clear that the talent they had is long gone.

Least you can do is finish the sentence and understand the ceiling is formed from base mechanics combined with team communication and synergy.

And where did you gather that I think the game is perfection? This is my second comment in this thread >>339918996

A person can enjoy something depsite it's flaws. Yet you seem to be under the impression that things can only be perfection or dog shit.

because assfaggots require a certain amount of skill and game knowledge while overwatch is just a casual shooter with press Q for free kills mechanics.

>Diablo being shit after Reaper of Souls

That expansion ended up fixing the game. Saying Diablo 2 was on a completely different level is horse shit. The game had hardly any end game besides ubers. It ended up with bots all over. There were gimmicky builds that worked, but part of the reason any of them could make it as far as they could is because Diablo 2 lacked end game content to push the players.

Well then those people shouldn't be patronizing the people who can see the good in things.

No it didn't. It wasn't a massive piece of shit anymore but all the core problems still remained.

Nice contradiction. It was a big change from Diablo 2. If you're a purist, then yes, Diablo 3 isn't the game you wanted. It did deliver as a decent sequel though, and it pushed the game towards more end game content over keeping the game exactly the same.
>>
>>339924632
Since you've been trashing the game and calling it dogshit and haven't mentioned a single good thing about it even though a lot of people love the game, I wouldn't be surprised if you were the type that can't find the good in things.

When it comes to shooters, I've played a lot of the big name games as well as some of the more rarely known ones. I can say that Overwatch is definitely a personal favorite, but I also enjoyed TF2 a lot back when it was first out and this brings back a lot of memories for me. I feel Blizz did a pretty good job on making the characters feel intuitive. Depending on what character you play, the gameplay changes a bit as well. (Not drastically, mind you. At most you're fatfingering about three or four buttons max). This doesn't seem like a big deal, but it gives it a very sleek playstyle. When you do good, you notice. It /feels/ rewarding and sometimes it is. It's focused more on teamwork over singular play. (Not that you won't wind up playing by yourself/see some of your team members running off on their own.) I personally play a /lot/ of Pharah and she's just a god damn blast to play due to how mobile she is. My two cents, but they're not worth much.
>>
>>339924643
Different people have different tastes. you can call his tastes shit all you want, it's not gonna make the game less fun for him. The game is serviceable to what some people want, if they are having fun with it, then there is your answer.

It's not a contradiction, retard.
I agree that Reaper isn't as shit as D3 vanilla and made it better, but that doesn't mean that it "fixed" the game and made it good.

D3 was so fundamentally fucked from the very foundation in terms of game design to graphics to script and so on that "fixing" it would mean you had to rework it from the ground up.

>>339924757
I canceled my pre-order 2 days into the beta. The game has redeeming elements, but tthe few there are isn't enough to make it worth my time and money.

Now I have to head outside.
