Whenever I kill one of the waifus in the game I always imagine my bullets are orgasm inducing chemical darts and their death cries are actually mind wiping orgasms that leave them breathless for the respawn timer. Or orgasm inducing neuron pulses if it's an energy weapon.

Seriously Blizzard is that much of a kcuc? Come on this "political correctness" is killing the world.
Back in the glory days of gaming there were
A] friends who played together and did not give a fuck, even if you played with "niggers" they would just share a laugh with you
B] server admins who banned you (from that server only) if you said something "offensive"... but then you could just go to another server and continue having fun
Who the hell thought matchmaking would be a good thing? Fucking come on, matchmaking should've been left to the console peasants.

Overwatch not-so-legal release and matchmaking server emulator when?
I remember when CoD MW2 came out you had a matchmaking emulator already on the first day, and I also remember that it worked better than the official IWNet for like almost a month.
>>121282243
yeah it was alright. Seemed a bit too FPS-y for me to be perfectly honest. The abilities were fun but at the end of the day everyone just had convention weapons

I think someone was able to port widow over but there was something wrong with the lighting. They aren't really available yet I think.
Its pretty bad to cope with this shit, I just hope they'll put out the game by begin December. Hell I'd even pay up 60 buckerinos at this point.
>>121283424
>Hell I'd even pay up 60 buckerinos at this point.
oy vey it's working
but doesn't 60 dollars seem a bit cheap for such a good game? i mean blizzard worked really hard on it
playing it is a privilege really
>>121283294
Not that I know of, haven't seen anyone with a port or beta access yet. Not sure if they can just rip it with 3d ripper DX. Might gonna go ask /3/ bout it
>>121283513
Yeah, they should add a monthly fee and maybe some cool DLCS. I think that sounds fair. I mean, cmon, it's 2015.

You guys are seriously deluded to think blizzard is not going to jump on the F2P torture/rape train and ride the micro-transactions/cosmetics straight into your asshole.
And if you didn't catch on by now, no, i'm not implying f2p is a good thing
>>121283964
ayyy
>>121283513
At this point I hope they put a nice meaty box price on the game just so faggots like you can shut the fuck up.
And yes retard, making a game is hard work.
Every fucking building in the game, every fucking prop has been slaved over by an artist for hours or days. Every animation has been tweaked for weeks. Every character model has been modeled, unwrapped, modeled again, unwrapped again, painted, baked, and this shit done as many times as it's need for it to look good.
Engineers have been working on for months on the engine so it doesn't work like shit even on good hardware like for instance - Valve's shit games.
And the marketing team deserves money too, because getting retarded autists interested in something isn't nearly as easy as you would think.
So it is hard work. And they do deserve money.
If you're a NEET fuck off back to TF2.
>>121284039
they wont
they know it didnt work well enough in HOTS so theyre not gonna fuck up in an actual good game
>>121284101
>F2P means they wouldn't make money
F2P means they would make all the fucking money in the world: that's the fucking problem. Retards buy right into the micro transactions.
Case in point: Hearthstone.
>>121284101
>this is what blizztard drones belive
>>121284372
case in point TF2
terrible fucking game, runs like ass and yet its Valve's #1 money maker thanks to microtransactions.
>>121284335
>it didnt work well in HOTS
Remind me again how much $$$ WizardPoker has raked in for them?
Would sure be a shame if Overwatch was infested with jew-tier hero skin packs and the like.
>>121284372
What makes you think having a box price excludes micro-transactions?
>>121284667
A. People would be less inclined to partake in the micro transactions, because they already spent money on the game. Look at Portal 2.
B. When you make the game F2P and then add the Microtransaction "totally not required" stuff, you get a horde of drones defending you with C L A S S I C arguments like "it was free, you can't complain :)"
>>121284836
It really depends what exactly they are selling.
If it's skins no one would complain either way.
There's loads of games with a box price that sold skins as well. Tons of them as of late.
>>121284579
>Valve's #1 money maker
Are you kidding? They rake in tons more money with CS:GO and dota 2
>>121285485
CS:GO has a box price and microtransactions out the butt.
It just werks for FPS games.
>>121285530
A cute girl.
If she can play the game it's a large plus.
>>121284335
MOBA is a genre for autists that requires a lot of time to absorb the knowledge and apply it at a decent+ level, not to mention the microtranscations they have. People won't drop it after wasting 500+ hours to get decent at it or drop playing with their friends either.
>>121284836
On the other hand you have Global Offensive, unless there is no MT there and just drops. Fuck that CS bootleg game anyway.
Also Portal 2 isn't really comparable because it's mostly a single player game and the co-op won't hold players for long enough to make them consider buying MT stuff.
I'd say the main question about OW having a box price is if Blizz is willing to gamble into the game being successful based on the company name, given that it's a new IP on a new genre for them.

That's the bad thing: she isn' true. You can almost feel her, you can almost see her touch her. But she is not there, she is in you, in your mind, in your heart. You experience true love, the one that will never, ever be given to you and what will never, ever exist between two existing humans.
Why does Blizzard torture us with good girls like these. Kerrigan, Jaina, Tyrande, Tracer and Mercy...

Ten damn milliseconds. Oh come on, the girl next door turns on her camera vibrátor which streams her insides to the Internet and my ping goes up 10 milliseconds and literally nothing happens...
Mercy is at the prime, it's not about the body, also about the soul. She is learnt and in the age you would just simply marry her. I'm against marriage but for her I'd gladly make an exception, she is rally the kind of girl you would just spend your life with. Travel the word, help those in need, build a multinational company and have great evenings by going to the theater and having a good one in the beds afterwards.
How can anyone not like her, she is literally the best. The other intellectual girl you can really like is Symmetra. All the waifus have certain traits that make them sympathical and approachable. But yelling she is old before you experienced what she could do to you in and out of the bed is bad manner, because I assure you she is a really sweet and caring girl who also got quite the looks, so I dunno what's not appealing about her you kek.

Tracer primary gun
Reinhardt primary melee
Zenyatta orb of discord
Winston ultimate swipes
Pharah ultimate rocketswarm
Roadhog primary weapon (both modes)
Roadhog ultimate
Zarya ultimate
Tracer ultimate
Additionally, almost every character has a skill that negates all positional mistakes. For example: caught on the ground as the rocketess Pharah? No problem, just press this easy button and you're instantly in the sky, where you're most effective.
Ran yourself into a bad spot as the fragile but swift Tracer? No problem, just press this easy button and you're instantly back where you were before.
Got caught in the open as the close-range slugger Reaper? Just press your invulnerability button and float over to a healthkit. You get this and many other movement tools completely free, there's nothing you give up for them, like sacrificing health with a rocket-jump.
The tools Overwatch gives you to solve problems are contained in a single, brainless button rather than a complex and difficult set of movements and/or offensive measures. The entire game revolves around identifying the correct rock-paper-scissors situation to press your button, then pressing it. There is no serious skill of any kind involved. You're going through the motions of what you think a video game entails.
The miniscule difference between a week-old Overwatch player and a year-old Overwatch player will be lost in the cloud of instakill ultimates, teleports and AOE abilities. This game is transcendentally shit, and there is no escape from it. This is the very profitable future of FPS. Hell. Population: you.

mech tank just sounds so boring for a sc2 character
they could do so much with micro or building shit with her
So Mccree is getting a nerf right? He's effective at any range and does more damage than any other class and can stun burst down any squishy at close range. Along with his auto-aim-insta kill ult.
>>121296172

I imagine both her and Mei will have a lot of info dropped at BlizConand hopefully be added to the beta, but there's 0 chance of that.

>Overwatch may be boring and shallow as an FPS game on account of all of the 'canned skill' abilities eliminating the impact of mechanical skill, but as a strategy game it's good! Just look at how many characters there are, and how many abilities! Surely that leads to an intricate and fun strategy metagame.
Makes sense until you consider that Overwatch is trying to pretend it's an FPS game, not a strategy game. Once you realize it, all of the ways in which Overwatch is different from other real time strategy games (the camera, the pace, the lack of resources to fight over) can be taken as flaws.
Let's discuss Overwatch's strategy merit compared to another the-player-controls-one-unit strategy game like DOTA. Each player has ~3 skills and an ultimate, so there's parity there.
But the camera perspective isn't top-down, it's first person. This makes zero sense for a strategy game and actively inhibits the player's ability to get an overall picture of what's going on. The controls also make it impossible for the player to ever control more than one unit, like they sometimes do in DOTA.
There are no map resources to fight over - as a strategy game, the only strategic element is the win condition. You cannot have such a lopsided 'strategy' game ever be interesting by its strategic merit.
Overwatch is shit as either an FPS game or a strategy game.

I can safely say that the "tanks" in this game are just super good. Roadhog, Winston, and Reinhardt are basically necessary for any sort of pushes. Bastion is just a better Tjorborn until they make it so you can get scrap some other way than killed enemies. Pharah+Mercy is an all-around team core that can do massive damage while also being hard to chase. Widowmaker+Mercy is an absolutely insane defensive core.
Symmetra really suffers from her teleport being her ultimate which takes so long to get back when destroyed. Junkrat, Hanzo, and Reaper just suffer from being outclassed by other classes, though Reaper does help with pushes against Bastion. Zenyatta's ult is great but hes just too squishy, he's Borderline B.

There is no way that Hanzo is better than Widowmaker, at all.

The only context in which widowmaker comes close to being as good is if you have over 100 ping. On LAN it's not even close, Hanzo is utterly better in all ways.
>>121298797
Oh and Tracer is B... I think. She's probably the hardest for me to grasp and a character that only improves once people figure out the maps better. I know the Blizz devs run a Winston+Tracer combo that is annoying as fuck.
>>121297489
>fps games can't be strategy games
What
Are you telling me that you just take a position during a game without thinking of what the enemy is doing and how to respond?
And no, who in the fuck is saying Overwatch is an RTS? Like I see that you're arguing that it isn't and its casualized gameplay would make it impossible, and I get that, but no shit it's not an RTS. And what's to say RTS games are the only strategy games?
TF2 has a great deal of strategy in it and there's no real "resources" to fight over.
Tl;dr what the fuck are you on about.
>>121299457

??
>>121299570
You have incredibly bad reading skills. Here is my point, distilled for your special brain:
- Overwatch when taken as an FPS game is casual and the impact of mechanical skill is extremely low.
- When you point this out, people say "But wait, there's strategic skill that makes up for that." So they are saying that Overwatch should be taken as a strategy game, not an FPS game.
- As a strategy game, Overwatch is extremely simplistic and equally shit on account of the camera perspective and the lack of resource objectives.

>>121299689
Hitscan is objectively inferior to fast projectiles, especially for defensive play, because you can fire from angles which do not allow you to be damaged. Shoot at the space where an enemy will soon occupy and then move out of the way - they will be damaged and there will be no way for them to damage you with hitscan (because there's no line-of-sight to you) or with projectiles (because you aren't moving toward them.)
If you watch high-level quake gameplay, railgun and lightning gun players like Toxx get completely assraped by people with good rocket skills. This is why. Projectiles are superior at high skill levels. Also are better on LAN.
>>121299889
why are you trying to divide it to two different categories, it's a strategical FPS. there's some mechanical skill involved with strategical thinking and decisions. some stuff that is lost (for example, the limited vision it being a FPS) brings up some other types of challenges and skills that you can use to win games (for example you need to communicate your positions effectively because you cant always see your friends)
i think your point about lack of resource objectives might be something to discuss though
>>121300104
Probably Bastion, he just halts any momentum until you organize a push with ultimates
Willing to bet they'll MOBA it and only have 1 character for each role available for free at the start, forcing you to buy the others.
Then they'll release skins and/or hats and paints and all that trash a year later.
Also expecting a leveling system that at minimum buffs stats over all as you "progress"

So you can see how both the strategy side and the FPS side are extremely shallow and unexciting. There's nothing skill-based about the game.
>>121300150
Thats because high-level quake also has much higher capability for movement, you aren't going get too far between when you shoot a Hanzo arrow and when it lands.
>>121297489
So this is coming from the "aim is everything" attitude regarding FPS? There are characters that heavily reward aim. But anyway, your arguments.
>Each player has ~3 skills and an ultimate, so there's parity there.
Overwatch characters have about the same parity as dota. Main fire, perhaps an alt fire, 2 abilities, one of which may be a mobility abilitiy, and an Ult. There is a bit of shifting around but every character does about 5 things.
>But the camera perspective isn't top-down, it's first person. This makes zero sense for a strategy game and actively inhibits the player's ability to get an overall picture of what's going on.
The maps and gameplay are designed around not getting an "overall picture". Flanks and chokes are designed with the perspective in mind. Some character have abilities, movement or otherwise to give them a better picture and that's taken into account for character balance. There is no need for FoW and a vision game because your physical vision IS the FoW. Good team VOIP is also a solution to this. Plus if, as you've noted players control one unit the camera perspective works just fine.
>the controls also make it impossible for the player to ever control more than one unit, like they sometimes do in DOTA.
No big deal. You could erase all the multi-unit heroes from Dota and it would still be a great game. Further, heroes with automated secondary units are perfectly viable and you already have a venomancer style mini-turret hero. You could easily include automated mobile units as well.

You can fire a Hanzo arrow and move around a pillar before the enemy you're aiming for comes into line-of-sight with you. This is literally the only thing that matters.
Quake walk speed is not significantly higher than Overwatch and rocket corner evasions are almost always done with simple ground ADAD.

Hey fuck you too, man. Now that I read, you basically made a blog post
You came up with an argument, gave an expected rebuttal, provided another argument, and came to the conclusion that overwatch is a casualized fps that people sometimes sell off for a strategy game.
>>121300497
>do you honestly believe there is "nothing skill-based"?
Hanzo, Widowmaker, Mcree are skillbased but their impact is low compared to the non-skill-based classes. Respawn time is like five seconds and dying charges your ultimate by about 20-30%. One Zarya mindlessly feeding into the enemy team until her ultimate is charged, then sitting above her capture point and dropping the ultimate in the middle when the enemy comes, makes the game unwinnable for the enemy team even though there's nothing skill-related about what she's done.
>>121300407
>There are no map resources to fight over - as a strategy game, the only strategic element is the win condition.
Right the objective is the objective. The "Resource" you gain is actually the advancement of the payload or progress of the control point. Remember that there are hard checkpoints at each third on control points. And this objective changes naturally over the course of the game. "Gold" in arts/mobas is used as a way to convert incremental advantages (like hero kills) into long term advantages for taking objectives. This is very important when the map is design with a strong defenders advantage at the end. Overwatch has you convery incremental advantage (kills and respaen time) in to long term advantage (objective progress) but given the faster pace and lower defender's advantage the stat based inevitability of a gold resource isn't necessary.
The take away here is that it's a Hybrid. If you look at is purely as an FPS or a Stragetgy game, yes you'll think it's simple. But it's bringing together elements of both and must consider both at the same time. Perhaps they have already lost some essential element that dooms the design to failure, but early feedback doesn't seem to bear that out. In fact I think Overwatch has smartly chosen what to keep and what to ditch from the different genres. Battleborn seems much more slavish and suffers for it.

Great. Explain why don't RTS or MOBA games do this?
>>121300820
>The "Resource" you gain is actually the advancement of the payload or progress of the control point.
This is not what a resource is. You use a resource to accomplish some goal - in an RTS game it would be to make more units or structures, or in an action RTS/MOBA it would be to buy more items. This is what a resource means. When you destroy the enemy barracks you don't call that a 'resource' because it furthers your team's goals.

>there is only black and white and nothing can ever mix to become a gray

Widowmaker, and McCree are considered the strongest heroes in the game at high level along with Mercy. Hanzo is considered strong as well but no one is really good with him yet because his skillcap is even higher since he's an aim based non-hitscan character.

>Widowmaker, and McCree are considered the strongest heroes in the game at high level along with Mercy
Only by retards who are not actually in the game. I am playing Overwatch right now. I'm sitting at ~95% winrate from telling my team to pick shield heroes and I pick Zarya and we go sit on the cart or point and the enemy can not do anything. This is how the game works. The low-skill heroes are the strongest ones. They would not add low-skill heroes if the high-skill heroes could just auto-win against them - that would upset their twelve year old audience.
Any decent streams going?
>>121300104
Like any game with a sniper class, a good one.
A good Widowmaker with a Mercy shoved up her ass is the worst.
>>121301340
RTS and MOBA games do not restrict your vision to 90 degrees of map because it is an inferior camera choice for a strategy game and only makes sense when aim is the operant skill-factor.
