Le trash man game > Overwatch edition

Game is $40 on PC for all launch characters. $60 with some cosmetics. Also on PS4 and XBONE. Blizz refuses to discuss post launch content at this point.

All current heroes are now in the beta.

Overwatch is a first person shooter made by Blizzard. The closed beta is live but you aren't invited.

Orgasm dart?

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.

Anybody else think like this?

He's still lying to you. If you checked that you want to join the beta on the battle net page then that's all you can do. It doesn't change anything on the desktop application until you get in the beta or log in with someone else's account and download it on your computer. If you do that it will show the grayed out "Play" button.

The aesthetic is reminiscent of digital dystopianism, with the harsh tones providing a feeling of inhumanity and fear of the unknown. The inclusion of the initial subject matter also alludes to this rather well, illustrating how quickly the familiar can become frightening as time passes, for those unaccustomed.
In conclusion I believe this piece to be a metaphor for the cold and unfair hostility garnered towards seniors who are not used to advancements in technology, and the vivid contrast with the familiarity youths possess.

Personally, I'm all for having him in the game. I doubt I'll play him, but sometimes people just want to shoot shit without any gimmicks, and 76 is perfect for that. It'll give people a 'vanilla' option to choose in a sense, and I think the game will probably keep a larger playerbase for it.

Why does Mercy seem so flawed as a healer?

There's little incentive to actually kill her because unlike TF2's medic, she doesn't lose her most important ability upon death (Revive teammates. = Invulnerability to you and your heal target) Besides her being unable to heal her team for what? Maybe 10 seconds?

Being Tf2's medic gives you a massive game-changing ability IF you take the precautions to staying alive and coordinating a push with someone.

While Mercy gets a similar but much more powerful ability, it's fucked up balancing wise because her ultimate is infinite range AND brings back the entire dead team, killing her doesn't drain her ability or even wastes it if she dies during the animation. This is easily one of the most game-changing and powerful ultimates in the entire game because you're effectively reviving a bunch of shitters to kill or soak up enemy damage again.

Who the fuck on Blizzard thought this was a good idea?

Easy to change her ult mechanics, it's her blandness I'm more bothered by.
Look at Lucio, he get's to be fun to play by combining support with a moderate amount of pressure. Same with Zenyatta.
Meanwhile Mercy is hugging butts like it's early TF2. Mercy and Torbjorn are just cop out clones and can fuck off.

Here's a list of auto-aims in Overwatch.

Soldier 76 ultimate
Mccree ultimate
Reaper ultimate
Winston primary gun
Symmetra primary gun & turrets
Torbjorn turret
Roadhog chain (aim assist)


Here's a list of offensive effects or attacks which aren't auto-aim but you essentially cannot miss with them no matter how bad you are.

Bastion turret gun
Reaper primary guns
Tracer primary guns
Reinhardt primary melee
Zenyatta orb of discord
Winston ultimate
Pharah ultimate
Roadhog primary
Roadhog ultimate
Zarya ultimate
Tracer ultimate
Mei primary
Mei ultimate
Genji ultimate
D.Va primary
D.Va 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.

>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 good strategy gameplay.

Makes sense until you consider that Overwatch is trying to pretend it's an FPS game, not a strategy game. 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) are flaws.

Let's consider 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.

The camera perspective isn't top-down, it's first person. This makes zero sense for a strategy game and 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 can in DOTA.

There are no map resources to fight over - as a strategy game, the only strategic element is the win condition.

Overwatch is shit as either an FPS game or a strategy game.

So it won't sell by its quality.

The only option they have to sell it is manipulative marketing. Here you can see a streamer who was critical of World of Warcraft talk about how he was denied Beta access: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqpBhtq6cHE

Here you can see three TF2 YouTube celebrities are flown to Activision-Blizzard's office free of charge, given a full tour, and hundreds of dollars in merchandise + games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7omcfb5Ttf0

Q: "After the initial-release 21 heroes, will any additional ones be free?"
A: "U-uhh. next question please"

You have to admit that they did their heal-class right.

Very high priority target that WILL potentially fuck over your team and is even more powerful in the form of an ubercharge if you allow him to live.

Picking off the medic in TF2 is extremely important while Mercy in Overwatch is just a fuck-all character because you never CAN stop her from using her ultimate. even killing her does nothing to stop her from using it.
>>
>>122505535
>The camera perspective isn't top-down, it's first person. This makes zero sense for a strategy game and inhibits the player's ability to get an overall picture of what's going on.

Silly MOBA player

>Fog of war inhibits the player's ability to get an overall picture of what's going on so take it out of RTS

>There are no map resources to fight over - as a strategy game, the only strategic element is the win condition.

Even without health pickups advantageous positions would be fought over.

Wish I could find that Quake explanation of map control and power up timing but this is copypasta anyways.
>>
>>122506326
You are right about that, too bad they got the rest of the game wrong, which is why you can only have one Demoman per team and Scout and Soldier are played 95% of the time.

Honestly every character should lose their ultimates when they die, but this is Blizzard and they have to pander to the same people who claim the game is already too fast.

quake map control is based on the items, not on the map. overwatch has no items

At least OW has 76 and to a lesser extent Zen if you don't want to play a braindead betacúck character purposely designed for females and homosexuals to play.

>>122506710

Ulti build-up mechanics definitely need some tweaking, but your suggestion would most likely make the game snowbally, which is the core aspect and also the core flaw of MOBAs from a casual (non professional) perspective.

I don't want the first 20% of the game to decide the next 80% while still having to play the entirety of the match.
>>
>>122506863

I'm saying that Tf2's medic isn't expendable while Mercy could just die and still retain the most powerful ability in the game.

>>122507060
Sniper and Scout are most braindead. One can just stand far away and click and the other is faster than everything else and deals a ton of damage.
>>
>>122507997
I'd say the scout requires a bit more thought than that. You gotta know how to dodge every class attacks and memorize were all the health packs are. But I might just be saying that because I played a lot of scout and like that class a lot.

The Soldier is literally shoot the ground get kill + has great hitscan secundary + gets ubered/overhealed most of the time

At least scout/sniper needs aim, positioning and game knowledge/good decision making to know if he should go for a backcap, demo kill, medic kill, hide and so on

I think Mercy would benefit from an Ubersaw effect on her melee, Make her ult reset on death, and maybe reduce the charge time a little to compensate.

Maybe add an effect to her person, give her a reason to do something other than heal. Maybe a stacking heal % per hit with her pistol.

Pop some shots off when your target isnt getting ravaged, then turn back to them for additional healing power. You then get to choose damage or healing.
