it's TF2 all over again. but not like pubbing in TF2 but as if you were always playing 6v6 ESL matches.
what i mean by that is that your team gets fucked if you pick the wrong class.
what i also want to say that you get that same feeling of:
>pick a class
>see yourself improving with that class
>get good with that character
i'm havin a great time.
but if you are looking for 12v12, 2fort 24/7 Team Fortress 2.5 then you gonna be dissappointed.
>>340459426
well music is nice
and for pixelshit the animations looks pretty good
in the sense that I can at least tell whats going on at least
Why does everyone seem to have the tumblr flu though?

Can be OK but too few good maps, no server browser and stuck with 6v6 makes it stale fast

+everything i like about ASSFAGGOTS without all of the things i hate
+fun to play with friends
+overall characters are fairly balanced

+lots of kekworthy memes and fapworthy porn
-too few game modes and maps
-boring, frustrating if playing solo
-gets repetitive after an hour or so even with friends
-no trading/exchanging shit you don't want for currency
i give it a generous 7.5
>>340458953
It's okay, but it's lacking content. Also, I doubt that it has staying power. The essential problem is that the single player has a hard time standing out and if you're up against a competent team there's little you can do to win. In a game like Counter-Strike, even if you lose, you can be the leading player in your team, be always the guy who survives last, who may win a round on his own, etc. - a competent player can defuse any situation by shooting exceptionally well. In Overwatch this is barely possible due to characters that are counters to yours being disproportionately advantaged. Also, Overwatch only knows team wins or team losses; individual performance isn't rewarded enough. This will make the game boring to competent players, and those are what keeps a game alive.
>>340461305
This. It needs to be finished and polished up. The game as it stands now is a really fun proof of concept, but without more maps and modes it's flaws are going to be more and more obvious.
Also, I know this is a meme, but it's really unbalanced. That picture that showed the spread of competitive characters is really telling.
my opinion is why does this game lag so fucking bad randomly. anywhere else I get like 20 ping but on this it just randomly shoots to 200-700
>>340458953

>>340458953
8/10
It's pretty good
There's two big reasons it's better than TF2.
Conceptually, I think it's pretty good, but it has some serious flaws.
>Map designs is samey (IE: 90% choke points and every payload map ends with the goal RIGHT OUTSIDE the enemy spawn making contesting the point as easy as walking an inch and stalling forever)
>Ults cause the game to snowball because teams that are losing lose even harder when the enemy gets their ability to kill everyone everywhere three times as fast as you
>Hitbox dissonance is REAL
>20 ticks
It has potential, and I don't think it will have these problems forever, but at the moment I'm disappointed.
>>340463347
Lame reason.
it's good. Not goty, but so far I've sunk in more hours in this than anything else this year, and DaS3 and SFV already have 100+ hours in them
got around to buying it a few days ago, haven't put it down since. I can see that wearing off quickly, but theyre adding two new heros by the end of this month. if they keep it up, they could be incentive to play every once in a while.
as of now tho, it needs serious balancing.
goddamn mccree is the only one getting potgs
Most overhyped game of 2016.
Fun with friends but honestly every game is fun with friends.
Not at at all worth 40$.
Nice booty.
As casual as it gets.
>>340463718
20 ticks and hitbox dissonance is probably never gonna change. It lets people with shit hardware and internet stay competitive, which is probably a huge part of its appeal.
But yeah, maps are BUSTED and the game needs serious balancing.
>Buff Mercy (overcharge health and improve her gun)
>Buff Lucio (faster out of speed mode/make his balls hurt more/make wall climbing faster and useful)
>Buff Widowmaker (change her mine/cut her Batman hook cool down to 8s)
>Buff Reinhardt (longer range/harder hits/faster shockwave)
>Buff/Nerf Mei (Faster movement speed, but reduce the strength of her icicle spikes)
>Nerf Hanzo (moonspeak attack needs clearer hotboxes/.3s longer charge time before OHKO arrows)
>Buff Symmetra (change her gun to a pulse rifle, think Samus/give 50 shields instead of 25)
>Nerf McREE (everything. Mainly fan-the-hammer to pocket sand combo)
>Buff Zarya (slightly longer shields and grenade range)
>Buff Tracer (faster warp jumps)
>Nerf Torb (gun, turret aimbot hax)
>Buff Reaper (too slow to be useful, spread is abysmal)
>Buff Zen (everything)
>Buff/nerf D.va (tighten spread on her guns, nerf "nerf this")
And so on. Anyone I omitted is probably fine. What would you guys change?

I play as everyone pretty evenly outside of Junkrat and Winston. These are my observations. Why am I wrong?
And if I was a drone, went would I suggest buffs AND nerfs for some characters? Reading comprehension/10

>>340458953

>>340465305
For a start, asking for a nerf to D.Va's ult is fucking stupid. It's the weakest Ult in the game.
>>340458953
Casual, but really really fun with friends.
It will live for a long time because of blizzard drones.
Way too generic and boring, a fps needs some sort of skill ceiling if it's a pvp game. Sucks that it sold so well because of fake hype and blizzdrones
Fun, but holy shit i hate playing with shitter random pubs now. Moreso then in tf2.
>>340458953
Gay as shit and one of the reasons Blizzard fucked up WoW.
>>340465428

i gotta say, overwatch is a refreshing change. its much more casual, but i need that from time to time.
is it as competitive? no
will it ever be as competitve? no
does it require skill? not really
that doesnt mean its not fun or not worthy of being balanced
>>340464796
If anything, Mercy's ult should charge slower. You can have her ult up within 30 seconds of the game.
lots of fun
do wish teams were more communicative though
>>340465473
Depends on if Blizz is going for Smash Bros balance or something closer to DOTA2 balance. I'm gud with who I play as primarily, but I think every character should be viable. Just look at how busted Bastion is now that he's countered. That's not balance, that's just sad.
Glad we agree on mcREEEEEE though.

I think everyone can agree on this. I was blown away seeing the game doesn't even have a server browser.
Also, it could use a LOT less fanfare when ending matches. It just takes way too damn long for a match to end and a new one to start. So long in fact, people just leave and queue up again.

This is why I always kinda laugh when I see people whinging about McCree. He has one gimmick and if it fails, he's basically dead. He's an assassin like Genji and Reaper. Meant to sneak up on you and blow you away before you get a chance to fight back. But people always cry when characters/classes do their job efficiently. Just look at Bastion. Idiots can't think to change to a Sniper or even Genji. Or fuck, maybe follow the Reinhardt and kill the Bastion while it's distracted.
>>340466893

i do kind of miss this. not necessarily because it was all that fun, i'd be bored and quit out after like ten minutes, but it was nice to just have some constant action where nobody gives a shit about winning. overwatch is very try hard right now since there is no ranked mode, closest thing to what i'm looking for is skirmish, but the maps are too big to enjoy that in the same way as 2fort
>>340466937
>He's an assassin like Genji and Reaper. Meant to sneak up on you and blow you away before you get a chance to fight back.

You're supposed to be lined up against players of your skill level but it really doesn't mean anything. When the freight trains lose enough, they'll inevitably get matched up against Thomas the Friends.
>>340466893
Thats because once you hit somewhere between 50-60% winrates you get paired up with a team much better than yours.

Baby-tier shooter. You take HOTS, you put it in 3D, you add guns and you basically have overwatch. The game becomes already boring after 5 fucking days.

>>340464796
Lucio is fast enough you shitter.
Widowmaker does not need additional mobility.
Reinhardt does not need more range, and his shockwave should be dodgeable.
Mei does not need to move faster, her ice gun is already a death sentence to anyone without mobility.
Hanzo does not need a nerf.
Zarya's fine,
Tracer does NOT need to be any faster,
Torbjorn's gun is FINE
Reaper is FINE
Zenyatta needs a tiny bit more health
Tighetning D.Va's spread will accomplish nothing.
I'm glad your ass doesn't design videogames.

>"we don't want our underage fanbase to miss their shots and stop buying L$$T Crates!"
It feels painfully F2P right now. Some easy things they could do to mitigate that is put in some fucking particle effects, a little blood, better lights and shadows and just overall ballsier sounds for the guns.
Also, more maps and game modes, I'm actually kind of hoping they wouldn't add more heroes.

The game is fun for 3-4 days. after that it suffers from that usual Neo-Blizzard control obsession that demands you play the game exactly as they wanted with little room to differ. It makes the game become bland and boring very fast. That and the incredibly low skillcap.
Nobody knows how to play Junkrat correctly.
>How do I deal with Torb Turrets and Bastion/ Reinhardt/ Mercy bunkers?
>nobody ever says Junkrat
>people actually think Widowmaker is a better bunker buster than Junkrat

>>340469000
Take a deep breath.
Think back to your games, and realize there was a common factor in all of them.You. You are the common factor for your games. You are with these shitters because you, yourself, are a shitter. You're in MMRHell because you ARE MMRhell.
It's alright.
Way too broken to be taken seriously.
You can get maybe 20 hours out of it before things get stale.
Also gets pretty boring after a couple rounds.

(You)
I've been looking for a casual shooter ever since I finished up with Borderlands 2, so personally I really like it. I need something to relax with, and Overwatch fits the criteria. It was never meant to be a complex game that required significant amounts of skill to master.
First Blizz game Ive really gotten into.
Pros:
>excellent variety in movesets and abilities
>almost all characters are fun to play
>aesthetic is great
>almost 0 issues with lag, performance or bugs
Cons
>Blizzkike microtransactions are pretty much essential to get any crates after level 30 without plowing days into the game at a time
>levels quickly get repetitive
>some heros and hero combos become borderline unstoppable especially in solo pub games
>"Q of the game"
Probably my fav FPS of all time as it stands now.
>>340473492
>>some heros and hero combos become borderline unstoppable especially in solo pub games
We had a Mercy/Winston/Zarya combo that sat on the cart the entire game and could not be moved off of it by God himself. The other team was very mad.
>>340458953
XD Le dust settled meme!! XD XD
Played it for 120 hours on ps4 so far. that's about 50 cents an hour. I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. I love it ! But I understand that others don't and that's OK!!! It's GREAT even !!! :3 :3 The fact that people like different things gives us the SPICE of life that allows for different kinds of genres of games!! Not everyone has to like everything and that's OK!!! :3 :3 Remember to play the games you LOVE and most importantly have FUN!!!
Awoo~
>>340473716
It's only a problem because people refuse to counterpick.
>>340473492
>confirmed to never have played the game
You say micros are essential to get any crates after level 30, yet the xp increase to level up stop around 22k xp which is around level 22 or 23. So for whatever reason those 7ish levels were alright, yet after 30 it takes longer even though there is objectively literally 0 increase in the amount of time?
Please remove youself from this world via bullet. Thanks love! :3 :3
Better than TF2, just needs more maps.
>>340473804
Sometimes there is no counterpick when the other team is clearly communicating. Been in situations where a bastion, mercy and reinhardt have been sitting in a corner and the rest of my team refuse to pick useful heroes, theres only so much a genji can do in that situation.

All these people are absolutely right about Overwatch not being worth $40+. Otherwise, it's a fantastic game, but you are far from getting your money's worth. If it was $20-30, I could wholeheartedly recommend this game to everyone, but as it stands, people are overpaying for a decently fun time
>>340474834
Still kept the team alive and on the point. Admittedly I at first didn't know his shield could block it, I assumed since it was an AOE it would still damage through.
>>340458953

It's okay, but as far as fps shooters go there at a lot better games. It just doesn't require the same skill as others so it's hard to feel accomplished. Better than I expected but I wasn't expecting much from blizzard nowadays
its a comfy casual shooter. jump in and play a few matches with fun to used characters in a very relaxed environment then go do something else.
