Overwatch [PS4, XB1, PC]

[techno 3,510]

I tried it but it's not my thing.

[The3rdWalker 1,271]

As I'm still a console peasant I'll be picking this up for PlayStation 4. I haven't played a Blizzard game I didn't like and I'll enjoy this one.

[TigerBurge 2,375]

I've pretty much decided to get it. It's just a fun game to play. Not take serious and will help pass time

[BO7H B4RRELS 2,453]

Wish it was a little cheaper.  I want it, but I don't want it for $60.

[Commander_Undies 618]

I thought this was supposed to be F2P? Guess not.

[J4MES OX4D 10,034]

I bought Total War Warhammer instead. May look at Overwatch in the future to see how it pans in the long run. 

[The3rdWalker 1,271]

Absolutely loving it so far. This will probably take a solid amount of my time during the day. It's very quick to get into a game, the game modes are fun and the characters are all unique.

[Diddums 4,346]

I've watched a few vids and this has very strong undertones of Halo, Unreal Tournament, TF2 all set in Blizzard's lovely environment. 

 

 

I'm a self confessed Blizzard fanboy so I'll be buying this either way but I think it looks fantastic. As it's payday today and all my life consists of is work, I'm going to treat myself. Screw it. 

 

I'm off tomorrow too!

I am as well. I generally will auto buy their games because I know the support will be there for years and if something is horribly wrong they will fix it. (Diablo 3)

I used to be, but between what they did with WoW, the episodic release of SC2 (Which honestly wasn't worth the cost), and then Activision putting their fingers in things like destiny, I just can't get behind them as a company.

[Diddums 4,346]

Yep, they killed WoW. No two ways about it. Still; I prefer to remember it as a game which require shit loads of thought, planning, time, resource management and crafting rather than the shitty MMO it's become.

I remember the days of Def cap. 540 was the number.

[The3rdWalker 1,271]

I started playing Warcraft in Mists of Pandaria so I was well into that LFD and LFR generation. I remember hearing about how difficult WoW was. I loved my Panda Mage. I would pay serious money for a new Warcraft RTS. RTS games were what started me video gaming. (Starcraft Brood War, WC3 and Command and Conquer Tiberian Sun)

[Sennex 1,903]

SC2, the Terran campaign was a lot of fun if you want to give SC2 a go.

 

The Zerg/ Kerrigan campaign was really sort of boring and it meandered around the place a lot.

 

I didn't finish the Protoss campaign, and I honestly wish I could have gotten my money back.

 

The other RTS games you mentioned though, I absolutely loved!

[The3rdWalker 1,271]

I don't exactly play those games for the single player. I don't believe I ever touched SC2's story.

[TigerBurge 2,375]

I hope to pick this up today. I loved the beta. I never played TF2. It's one of those games that's just fun to play. Any changes from it and the beta

[Diddums 4,346]

No. Blizzard 's betas are basically "k so we made a game, it's finished, go stress test our servers".

Get it Christy. Be great to have the bants back again!

After two games into the beta I was sold. I can be frustrating solo and hope they add more game modes. TDM or something just kill based.

[JsinOwl 644]

I've never played TF2 or Counterstrike either, lots of people seem to reference them as standard setters.

[Sennex 1,903]

TF2 is one of the most fun FPS games I have ever played.

 

It is still out there and just as huge today as it was years ago.

 

Overwatch swiped the graphical look from TF2, and a lot of the feel for the weapons. Mercy heals really felt like I was playing the Doctor in TF2. 

 

I don't remember the other characters in Overwatch enough to draw comparisons

I think TDM would be opposite to what the game is about. You wouldn't really need all those classes and abilities to do that. Everyone would be playing and offensive player, probably a sniper

[BO7H B4RRELS 2,453]

Got the game tonight at Meijer for $49.99. Looking forward to joining you all.

[The3rdWalker 1,271]

TOMMMMMMMMY!

[cyberninja2601 1,106]

Got the game tonight at Meijer for $49.99. Looking forward to joining you all.

 

 

We were just kidding.  We aren't playing the game at all  

 

Look forward to playing with you

[BO7H B4RRELS 2,453]

Mccree is pretty fun. He's all I used tonight. I want to try out the sniper girl tomorrow. I'm beat though, headed to bed.

[Diddums 4,346]

Good stuff Tommy. At the rate people are getting this game, I can smell a tournament coming on!
