Have you even played the game?

cos its brill. should have tryed it out in beta

No, the beta ended before I had the chance.

Because it's fucking good

What's good about it, though? It looks a lot like TF2? Is it that kind of game?

It might be the best designed game ever made

Because blizzard has more money than God and marketed it to high heavens.

Also HearthStone made a shit ton of money, so Blizzard is really "in"

OMFG THIS IS THE NEW WATCHDOGS GAME CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY IT

Pretty much this

Because it's fun as fuck and appeals to a wide audience.

I started thinking Overwatch would be shit since I've been disappointed in everything Blizzard has done recently, starting with Diablo III. And I certainly didn't want to throw any more of my money their way.

But after playing in the beta, it's just fucking fun. And as somebody who doesn't enjoy CoD-like twitchy FPS games, I was pleased that there can actually be strategy involved, that there are roles for whatever playstyle you want, etc.

The game has a few flaws, but I had waaaaay more fun in the beta than I thought I would.

nutin. The only reason for hype is because blizz gave beta acess only to most dedicated blizzdrones who take any shit from them. I played the beta and it's shit. I mean it is nice time killing machine for few days, but to actually buy it and spend half my life on this pointless shit? I would have to be insane almost as much as fags that still play wow

Yeah much better to waste your life in this shit hole

LOL

It is very fun. Its certainly casual so far..which is fine...im sure when the ranked mode comes out after launch it will have a lot of strategy with team comps etc..but from what i played just pure fast paced fun. The hero selection is nice. Im glad there are no stealthies (yet at least) id certainly reccommend it if you are looking for something thats low stress and fun.

>getting shot by 5 bastions after every corner
>fun
No, but honestly. This game can be fun, but it's nowhere as good as blizzdrones describe it. And nowhere near good enough to demand money for playing it. After few games it gets boring, and maps are terribly unbalanced (have you ever tried attack on route 66? Enjoyed 5 bastions shooting straight at you after first step out of your base?)

Blizzard is pretty good in making addictive, fun games. Not only because of the gameplay but also because of their brilliant sound design, graphics, look and feel, etc. thats why no one talks about that battleborn shit

Company that used to produce good and fun to play game came up with another game...all the hype..

Can there only be one player of each class?

There's crazy hype for literally every AAA game that has come out in the last few years. Overwatch is no different.

no, there only can be 4 bastions and one widowmaker in every team

>getting wrecked by Bastion
Are you even tryin

Shit overhyped game.

Marketing tho

because D.Va is perfect

Because gamers are stupid and they will wet their collective panties upon anything that other people think is great

It's a FPS moba. And it's boring.

Nah, Bastion is totally cancer. I'm with you on that. But because of the huge number of complaints about him, I'm pretty confident that Bastion will be changed before release.

I'm hardly a "blizzdrone," I've hated practically everything they've done for years. But aside from some Bastion cancer and some other problems (there are a few, not really the point of this reply though), I had a lot of fun during the beta, and it didn't get old at all.

...

Its like a rocket league FPS version. Short intense games thats fun for an hour at a time.

>bastion is cancer
Nigga bastion is easy as fuck to outplay. Just flank him or snipe him. It's not difficult really, I died to a bastion maybe twice and that was only day 1 of beta.

The only thing worth playing about her is the shield and her Op ass self destruct, her Dps is literal fucking trash.

Imagine a team of 3 reindharts and 3 bastions. Hah. I did that with friends, cancerous as all hell.

Also Bastion is easy to kill if hes not shielded. Don't be a fucking scrub.

Hello Satan

oh yes, flank him at the choke point. truly you are a wizard and a genius sir

Because TF2 was fun as fuck before it became hat simulator. Enter a game with twice as many characters - more interesting characters at that - and a focus on gameplay instead of fucking hats. The beta was fun as fuck and I can't wait until it comes out.
>TL;DR - Mei is bai.

You have no idea how much fun this was.

Then have your team bulk up on tanks and advance past the choke point.

You really don't know how this works, do ya?

So you're saying it's a good alternative to TF2?

It is if you don't mind the fact that your level ups do nothing and there's no secondary weapons or alternative primary weapons. Or team death match or Free for all.

Dunno, the game is just ok, some of the characters (bastion im looking at you) are broken. Nice asses thou

It's not always possible to flank Bastion. Your "counter" to Bastion (flanking) ignores the rest of his team. Bastion being able to turn 180 degrees and waste many heroes who DO flank him is kind of a problem too.

And yeah. As a Reinhardt player, I quickly learned that if my team has a Bastion, all I have to do is protect him - auto win.

I've also played maps where my team went 6x Bastion and sat at a choke point. Sure, they eventually got through. You can EVENTUALLY break through most anything. But that doesn't mean the shit isn't cancer.

No team of 6x one hero or 3x one hero, 2x Reinhardts shielding them should ever be a viable team composition.

Yeah, just an arena shooter that becomes repetitive after a few round like every arena shooter

If you enjoyed the intended team-based action of pub matches in TF2, I think you'll enjoy Overwatch.

pretty much exactly this, game just needs a little work and there could be a competitive scene.

game is very fun but the maps suck balls.

Learn to counter you fucking inbred

How about no op. Game sucks like the division too.much hype for shit

>Widowmaker/Hanzo
>Find a comfy corner
>Pop around corner, shoot
>Hide behind corner
>Rinse and repeat
>???
>PROFIT!

i had a chance to try out the beta for a few days and it was fun and visually nice as well. but this is one those games where it will get boring without friends to play with. something like cod where you can jump onto a TDM and pretty much carry the team or go all out in free for all. however with this you can do well but for some stuff you will need to coordinate somewhat for maximum efficiency anyway.

GL bringing down Reinhardt's shield with Widowmaker or Hanzo, pleb.

"I need friends to do well in a team-based MMO game!"

Make friends then, you fucking autist.

literally unreal turnament in a gay version with a new layout for autistic kids.
>30 mins play
>uninstalled
>vomited in my keyboard
>thx blizzard

THAT LOOKS BANANAS

Does nobody know about Genji? He literally fucking dumps all over Bastion. Click E and Bastion is dead before he realizes he's killing himself.

that's battleborn

>being this butthurt about a vidya that has zero impact on your actual life

Kek, must be hard living as a faggot

Had a a lot of fun, tried it towards end of open beta.

i don't get it either. looks like modern tf2 which i also didn't give 2 shits about. some people really like cartoony arcade shooters, i guess.

Am i the only one who liked roadhog?

because the porn is amazing
