J4MES OX4D 9,886 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I'm becoming really interested in Blizzard's Overwatch having seen much of the beta action. Seems to be a really enjoyable FPS with a wealth of varying characters (heroes) and some great maps. Big playlist of heroes and gameplay here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzh9q1V1SJApQgT1bvcmbHTBdX7x5WV8X I'm still on the beta wait list but hoping to get in sometime before release this summer.

Corey the Kiwi 83 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I've been keeping an eye on this game as well! Looks like it has a lot of potential; I love games with differing characters and move sets - adds a whole new layer. I am hoping I can give a try soon - seems like it would be a blast working together with a team in a party. Kia Ora. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JsinOwl 644 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Looks pretty cool If you decide to put your dick in crazy, be ready to change your phone number and relocate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J4MES OX4D 9,886 Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 This game needs a public open beta. I applied a few days ago and didn't hear anything and it seems many users who've been applying since the original beta months ago haven't had any luck in getting in whatsoever. Seems like it's only YouTube/Twitch members getting access at this time which is a bit annoying for the mainstream community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diddums 4,308 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 This looks good, and Blizzard sure know how to make slick games. I expect this engine to run smoother than a baby's bottom, although it might take a few patches and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BO7H B4RRELS 2,450 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I haven't checked any of this out until today. It definitely has my attention. That class with the hook & shotgun looks like a lot of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsinOwl 644 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Does it have a co-op mode? If you decide to put your dick in crazy, be ready to change your phone number and relocate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerBurge 2,374 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Does it have a co-op mode? I think it's all pvp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J4MES OX4D 9,886 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Does it have a co-op mode? It's just 6v6 multiplayer but the focus is more on team play, the objective and character choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J4MES OX4D 9,886 Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 Do you know if its downloadable today?It is available 12am (right now) I think in the UK but the official site has a complete rundown of when the beta is available to download in each region. I'm on my phone so I can't link it in but check it out to be sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J4MES OX4D 9,886 Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Played a few games of the beta earlier and it seems a very polished and enjoyable shooter. The combat is fast and frantic and despite being a bit mindless; there is quite a solid tactical and skill oriented game here although it retains fun rather being an out and out sweatfest. Another solid game on the books of Blizzard it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sennex 1,903 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Last I checked Blizzard is still owned by Activision.... The same company we all rail against in Destiny threads and CoD threads.... Now I have no idea how good/ bad this game will actually be, but I am pretty leery of the whole thing because of who owns it Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."

The3rdWalker 1,264 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I generally am not a fanboy for any brand, but I am for Blizzard. Overwatch was a reason I even considered buying a new pc. i7 7700k, 16GB RAM, GEFORCE 1080, 240GB SSHD, 2TB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have no idea how good/ bad this game will actually be, but I am pretty leery of the whole thing because of who owns it Activision bankroll Blizzard but the latter is actually highly regarded loyal developer with several successful and top quality brands that they are continually committed to. It ain't like the dark side of pure Activision where rushed, half arsed and dated products get spewed out annually and are littered with extra payable content.

Sennex 1,903 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I know exactly who/ what Blizzard is bro, I've been a customer of theirs since Lost Vikings Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."

L_C_Scipio 395 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I gave the beta a try, not really thinking I would like it. I had so much fun with it I'm thinking about getting it now. It's refreshing playing something that's much more about tactics than twitch reflexes. I tried a good few characters, but I enjoyed playing as support more than pure damage.

This is exactly how I feel. It's refreshing and fun. Hope there are more game modes. There is a few abilities that need to be nerfed. Nothing major or game breaking.

Sennex 1,903 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I enjoyed the game, but I wouldn't spend $60 on it. I agree, it isn't worth $60 as I already own Team Fortress 2 Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."

phil bottle 9,668 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 My first thoughts were comparing this to TF2 as well. Doesn't really float my boat. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
