What's the /v/erdict?
Is it worth the $40 USDor the $80 CAD on PS4 because my PC can't run it?
I bought a ps4 for it
yeah
zarya X zenyatta when?
>>343120137
I got 100 hours in. Not worth it, avoid it. It's just a meme game that's probably gonna fade away.
Fanboys avoid talking about the crippling balance issues (such as Junkrat having insanely retarded utility and high damage at the same time).
Unless you like casual one-shot auto-aim FPSs, buy something else.
>>343121096
Do you see it being better in the future, with all the patches and such?
Honestly, yeah. I played a lot of tf2 and it's refreshing. A lot of tf2 players are coming back and having fun with overwatch.
>>343121561
It might get better, but honestly with what they're trying to do with competitive, I think they might continue doing bad design choices.
It doesn't help their case that the core mechanic, hero countering, is pretty badly done. Most of the cheese heroes require countering with higher skill roof/ceiling heroes.
Even though these mentionned characters have no purpose in higher level play, they make public games feel unfair and "difficult".
Then there's heroes like Reaper that don't have counter-heroes ever since they nerfed McCree.
>>343121874
meant skill floor/ceiling
>>343121874
>Reaper
>no counter-hero
literally anyone medium range or further away
or Tracer
or Symmetra with a bit of luck
or McCree (yes, you can still kill him with flashbang+fan - or better yet, left click him in the head THEN fan)
Reaper functions best as a tank killer
>>343122576
Medium/long range is his counter, yes. There's no hard counter at his optimal range anymore, though. If both McCree and him are full HP, Reaper can survive easily with Wraith Form.
Before you shout "But wait! What if Reaper wasn't full HP?" then you're probably missing the point. He can Wraith Form away from Tracer and, as a dude who plays Reaper, she never gave me trouble at all. Symmetra is just asscancer as any hero desu.
>>343121096
>100 hours
>somehow not worth $40
Any way I bought it at release and am still having fun. I don't normally play competitive fps games for the record.
>>343120137
I'd say so, yes.
This game is pretty toaster friendly
>>343121096
git gud
>>343122940
To be honest, I play mostly because "muh friends" and "muh mileage".
I thought it was fun at the start, but the more you play the more the flaws are abherrant. Anyways, I think it's better to have the opinion of someone with 100+ hours than "i plaid 1 day" .
I do suffer from taking games seriously. Like I said in that post, if you like casual shitfests it's a great game for you.
>>343123171
Silly anon, there's no way to git gud in a casual game.
I got toaster PC. It works smooth as fuck. But for some reason models take like 15 seconds to load before they show up for me. At least is always before the battle begins
Your PC can't run it?
I'm playing it without probs on my 2009 year toaster with an AMD Radeon 6900. Don't even have to put anything on low.
>>343122918
I've never had much trouble with reapers
>buy overwatch
>my internet service goes to shit, have 300-700 ms all day except between 3-5 am where it is flawless
Never live in rural ohio.
>>343123367
I have a Core 2 Quad CPU
the Minimum Required CPU is at least i3
>>343122918
My Zarya destroys all reapers
It's a fresh IP they are still working on balancing and overall fixes I say give it some time it should start smoothing out soon
>>343123402
He's not as bad as McCree was, that's why. I've had a lot of arguments about the Reaper Problem, and it always ends up with him having no real "hard counter" at his range. He's in a weird spot right now, because he's not outrageously broken, but he's still ""OP"" because he is out of the Hero Switching Countering cycle or whatever you call it.
I have 20 hours in the game and I already want my money back.
For such an expensive game it provides so few player options, gamemodes, and maps. Matchmaking is awful, servers are shit, and the gameplay is shallow.
Overwatch makes tf2 look good, very good.
>>343123585
Zarya can't lock him down before his Wraith Form.
Competitive mode just arrived.
Too few modes right now. If it had capture the flag and team deathmatch, it'd be great.
Where are my D.va Buffs /v/? WHERE?
>>343123702
>For such an expensive game
LOL
>>343123702
>gameplay is shallow
>20 hours
Provided you played all characters equally, you spent a grand total of less than an hour on every character.
It's your opinion and your money, but the entire cast is pretty varied gameplay-wise and I really don't see how you managed to get bored so quickly considering how "hard" some of the heroes are to play.
>>343124020
>competitive overwatch
>>343123850
Still gets the job done of making him fuck off
>>343120137
Nah, i wait until it drops to 20$
>placement match
>double reaper on my team
Oh boy, this is going to be fun.
>>343124312
Literally meta right now
>>343124197
>Bizzard title
>dropping in price
They're STILL charging $40 for D3
>>343120137
>my pc can't run it
Impossible.
Anyone else see a big increase of double Zarya's on Defense?? How do you counter that?
I got bored pretty fast
tf2 was really fun at the time, this game has less depth than that did.
it just gets stale fast. needs more game variants and 6v6 is too small imo.
>>343124564
Not impossible. I don't understand why people are so adamant that this literally runs on everything because it sure as fuck doesn't run on mine.
I wouldn't play it on a console and definitely not on shitty PSN. On PC it's completely worth every penny and more.
>>343124096
>provided you played all characters equally
Why? Most overwatch characters are fucking boring. Winston puts me to sleep. I want to PLAY fps, Not have the game played for me.
>but the entire cast is pretty varied gameplay-wise
Eh, varied but little depth or difficulty. The only hero I find difficult to play is widowmaker. The game is all about teamplay and less to do with player skill.
>>343124552
Well damn, thats good point mate
No content.
Bored to tears by it now.
I'll admit I've been duped.
>>343124685
what are you using for a gpu? please dont say onboard graphics.
>>343124745
Winston is god tier if you don't suck dick.

>play mccree
>flashbang and headshot
>he tries to fly away
>headshot him again
hard game desu
>>343124745
Well Widow, McREE, Genji and Pharah all have quite a lot of depth to them regarding positioning and map awareness.
You're right about the teamplay part, a big part of the game is synergizing ultimates and hero composition, if you wanted a more "be better at shooting than the other guy" game, I can understand your frustration.
>>343124994
What does that have to do with how fun winston is to play?
>>343124964
>>343124685
Friend with a laptop and integrated graphics can run Overwatch just fine on low.
>>343124994
Not him, but he meant that Blizzard successfuly made the FPS genre go backwards because they implemented auto-aim in a multitude of heroes.
Based on the sales of the game, get ready to see a whole lot of similar designs in FPS if this game doesn't die soon.
>>343125113
huh, maybe they are using a coal fueled gpu then
>>343125168
>multitude
Only soldier has auto aim, doesn't he?
And if you're talking about the pretty large hitboxes, well tough shit, this isn't a pinpoint precise game, which has its pros and cons.
>>343125109
It means that even the shittiest most braindead hero in the game has some finesse to its playstyle.
>>343125497
Not aimbot, auto-aim. Winston, Symmetra, I guess Soldier like your pointed out, etc. Otherwise things like Junkrat that's literally "spam your 80-120 damage bullshittery in a general direction and thou shall get kills" isn't really aiming.
>>343125113
>>343125109
Winston is one of the most fun characters to play. You're a flying monkey with a lightning gun.
>>343125497
winstons lightning gun is a tracking laser, symettra's laser also tracks.
>>343120137
PS4 player here. Hasn't gotten old yet, about 150 hours in.
>>343124745
>Winston
>Boring
>Doesn't like flying around the map making enemies panic and fucking up turrets, teleporters, and snipers
I feel bad for you
>>343120137
Nope. It's fun for 5 days and then become boring as fuck.
>>343120137
Garbage for babies too retarded to play actual fpss.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blHosybnn9A
>>343121096
I'm in the same boat. I wish I saved my money.
>>343124778
How many hours did you log before you got bored?
>>343126298
>>343126246
I'm the 100 hours dude and it gets boring fast, though I wanted to deny it because 40$ is 40$. Unless you like being one-shotted, auto-aimed and getting told to git gud when you have genuine complaints, I'd say avoid the game, if that's the kind of answer you're looking for.
>>343124745
>I want to PLAY fps, Not have the game played for me.
This is meaningless. Much of the success of a good player is positioning, planning, strategy, advanced techniques, etc., none of which the game holds your hand for, and even then the criticisms around aiming are overstated.
>40 hours in
>game is fun
>I can see it being unfun when you get to higher skill levels due to bullshit balance
I'd just like to see some fun deathmatch or brawl modes, since this competitive shit is gonna get real old, real fast.
You have to play literally perfectly if you don't want to get wrecked by random shit flying your way or some instagib ulti. or just widow. That shit is pretty frustrating to me and I really dislike it.
>>343123702
I've never once spent 20 hours on a shitty game.
>>343125709
Welcome to TF2 demoman.
>>343125972
Been playing for weeks and still having fun. Do you have friends? Are you experimenting?
>>343126553
Either you got $40 worth of enjoyment out of those 100 hours or you're absolutely retarded for playing for 100 hours.
>>343127203
I didn't play TF2, but I don't think demoman has a 120 damage large AoE instant mine with huge knockback and a 80 damage trap hidden under the ground that can't be shot down in 1 shot.
>>343126762
Honestly he sounds like he can't value anything except mechanical difficulty in a game. That either makes him a former Quake God that craves challenge, or just some random elitist that doesn't even know what positioning and team composition is.
>>343124778
>large roster size
>average number of maps for Phase 1
>no content
So fucking spoiled.
>>343127378
>>343123206
To be honest I might just be retarded, since it's the main reasons I still play
>>343126762
This. Any middle-tier moron that plays FPSes knows how to aim without any trouble. It's not what makes FPSes fun.
>>343121096
100 hours not worth it. just kys autist
I'm still having fun but that's because I haven't been binging on it like most of /v/ probably did. Hour here, hour there after work and other obligations.
It's a complete game and worth $40. Extremely well optimized, no latency issues, good roster size, mediocre map count.
>>343122918
>There's no hard counter at his optimal range anymore
Roadham?
running on gt 210
i can play on almost 25 fps
>competitive mode
>everyone just spams jump to fuck the hitboxes
>>343128071
Reaper counters Roadhog, surprisingly. If you play Reaper right you wait until he wastes his hook and 3 shot him.
>>343128313
Well then don't miss the hook, lol.
>>343128310
Does it even do anything? Other than clearly different hitboxes like widow, does it do something mechanically different?
>>343120137
If you have friends that also buy/will buy it, yes. Absolutely. I've been playing a few hours a night since it launched with a regular bro team of 1 to 5 other pals and it's great. Everyone even picked up microphones so we can shit talk in group chat all the people squealing memes in the games we play.
Without friends, probably not.
>>343128382
The hook usually is better used on key targets like healers and Pharah, but Reaper can be countered with Roadhog unless the Reaper is able to Wraith before dying, which happens to me a lot.
Roadhog without his hook, if Reaper does it right, is a free kill + Ultimate charge.
>>343124020
>sudden death still exists
>but it's even worse because it's essentially a coin flip on who wins it
>>343124023
Both of those modes would be shit on this game desu.
>>343128639
Alt Fire + Hook at the same time. Then hold left click while he's being reeled in. If you're aimed at him the shot will go off while he's sitll recovering form the hook and he'll die before he can pull off any action.
You absolutely need to be holding left click before he's done being reeled in, not clicking after the hook is over, because he'll be spamming Shift upon getting hooked.
>>343129220
You're right, but it's pretty much a 50/50 match-up everytime I see it. Roadhog gets shredded unless he lands the hook. Some Reapers I see even Wraith Form the second the hook comes out.
I have it on ps4 Trob is way OP. Your teams are usually trash unless you find people who you can communicate. I got it a week ago an added everyone with a mic to my friends list so I can play with them. It made everything a lot better
the addition of competitive has ruined the game if you're sub level 25
since all the more experienced players over 25 moved onto competitive, casual is just full of sub 25s who are all shitters
now you can't win any games
hurrah!
