I'm having too much fun with this game simply because of the chaos it brings. The hardest part tho is learning the maps and where characters have advantageous positioning. My least favorite character is Bastion simply because he can pitch a tent and go ham. They nerfed him some time ago since he had a sheild so you can only imagine the pain of approaching objectives. Each character has a lot of potential and so far I like the supporting class since I basically learn support roles first in all games. Just my nature. Favorite support is Zenyatta with my sleeper support Symmetra (my goodness those turrets solidify positioning. :afro:
-
I personally can't wait to try it. I bought it the first day it went on sale but never got a beta key. Can install it after work but probably won't be able to touch it till this weekend.
-
I love the look and character designs, but hate that it's another god damn FPS. (I hate that genre)
-
i don't play a lot of FPS games anymore, so playing this after all these years is fresh for me. it is casual friendly and can be competitive at the same time. give it a shot @Riot.EXE
-
i will buy it
if is not the normal FPS like CoD or BF..its more fun to play
-
I got myself up to level 9 before the beta was turned back off. Gotta say I love the hell out of it. It reminds me alot of the days I use to play Unreal Tournament 2004. Intense and always moving. Helps that Bastian is probably a little op too. Love that robot. haha

Bastion is fine. There is a lot of counter play so you just have to respect the damage and find effective ways around it. After all you can change characters after you die to adapt to the changing pace if you. Although I do not know if it will be the same when the real game comes out. Dude they already said yesterday that it is a permanently banned if you are caught cheating. Flipped a table when I saw that. :afro:

It is funny how there are already numerous people complaining that they could be perma-banned for cheating just once. I never understood this. Even in WoW I use a bare minimum amount of addons. No I don't call any of this cheating, but the extent some people change the game to make it to their liking. Flipping around the UI to their liking or moving things all over the place. Macro's by themselves almost seem like cheating to me in the hands of a skilled player.
Needless to say, the people that are complaining like crazy already are the ones that were planning on cheating in the first place. If someone can't play a game without cheating in the first place, maybe they shouldn't play at all.
-
I prefer blocking rather than banning. Especially if the game has a single-player component (even just matches against bots) and/or supports private servers (and every multiplayer game should). Both provide opportunity to cheat to you heart's content, which a solo player or server owner should be able to allow, and it would be terrible if the negligence of forgetting you had cheaty mods enabled results in a permanent ban. Block cheaty mods on matchmaking-enabled servers (and private ones where the server owner approves) and only hand out bans for those cheats that deliberately try to circumvent the blocking system.

This one is quite a bit different. I agree with you @Delta to a degree. I've played, in the past, on my Unreal Tournament 2k4 servers, and they had private ones where cheating, or hyper weapons, were allowed. However, that being said the private servers weren't hosted by Epic, Midway, or Atari. They were hosted by private players. In that retrospect, I think it's ok.
With Overwatch, all servers...even the ones against only bots...are hosted by Blizzard. Would be counter productive to host and run servers just to allow people to cheat on. And if everyone is cheating, then no one has fun. Other then the "private" bot matches, Overwatch doesn't have any single player at all. You can't even login to the game without having an internet connection.
No, when you buy a game like that, you never even own it. You buy the right to play on their servers and have to respect their Terms of Service accordingly. It's all borrowed time on someone else's expense. Same came be said with World of Warcraft. That one gets even more technical because if Blizzard finds out about private servers with that, they'll shut them down by suing the person that created the server. Letting anyone and everyone play their game without paying their monthly sub cost to it hits them hard.
Ultimately, when it comes to a FPS game, it really is no fun if people are cheating. You need a win sometimes to keep you interested in a game. If you're losing all the time, then the joy of playing slips out as well.

And I hate games that are like that. Unfortunately, this behavior is getting more and more popular, probably owing to the success of MMOs and console shooters. With GTA5, custom multiplayer mods were shut down as well, because Take2's bottom line is improved by people only playing GTA Online and potentially buying cash cards.

Blocking is more reasonable since some1 has already purchased your product. You don't want to lose a potential buyer or supporter of your games if you completely ban them. At least hit them with time out before playing again and then if the behavior resumes you can hit them with the ban stick.

I purchased Overwatch a couple of days ago and I love it, it's the most fun I've had in a competitive shooter in a while, all the different play styles of the characters always makes it interesting. Anyone have a favourite character they like to play? :azn:
-
Lucio is me all the way through. Style, grace, aggression, healing, and motion are the qualities this support encompasses. It is like playing Bayonetta but from Brazil.
-
Think ya still did well tanking, lol

Haha, ur too kind. But i really felt i wasn't doing more and by that making right decisions. I been working on my Winston and Roadhog since I like to be able to switch btwn offense and def tanks. Imma get my Mcree real good even if it kills me.

the new Halloween skins are pretty tight. i think they were lack luster tho on Pharah tho since it is just ectoplasm illuminating from her. :afro:

I enjoy all of the new skins. Kinda ashamed to say that I bought one of the 40 dollar pumpkin stashes...I couldn't help myself, lol. My favorite is Junkrat and even commissioned an artist to do my character using the new Junkie skin. I think it's just the same with the game though. I've heard people bad mouthing the new skins saying that Blizz didn't put much effort into them and then there's people like me that loves em all. Except made Sym, but I don't play her hardly at all anyways. There just isn't hardly any other FPS's that put the time and effort into it's game like Bliz does. Especially since we have a new gameplay coming up and Sombra has been revealed.

I don't like the idea of spending money on a game that's online-only with no offline single-player elements. What happens in the future when people stop playing? Or when the next generation of systems is released and the servers go offline? Seems like the game would be kinda useless at that point. :undecided:
I'm only speaking from the PC side...but all of Blizzards games are still playable. Servers are still live for Diablo 2 (hosted by Blizzard) and it came out almost 17 years ago. No need for next generation systems when all you have to do to your pc is update it every so often.
I personally feel that Overwatch will be around for a long time, or until it has a replacement for it that carries it into the next game. And then games like TF2 have been around since 07 and is strictly online. When it's PC, there is no limitations.
Let's also mention that Blizzard will keep doing events for OW, new skins, new characters, no play modes, battle arenas, maps...there's no end for them. One of the few companies I trust I'll get a quality game out of no matter what type of game it is.

now that eSports is growing like crazy, FPS and Mobas in particular are gonna remain dominate for the longest time. Call of Duty has been around since Modern Warfare and is still a competitive and fun game. even tho I personally am not a fan of the series after MW2 it supplies a large fanbase with content that continues to fund the games future titles for both single and multiplayer aspects. but if you look at single player, it is all about delivering a compelling story and aesthetic environments. so as long as you fulfill that criteria for single player title, expansions are good to build on stories, but that is it. at least in multiplayer titles, the skins allow you to look good while wreck ppl. XD :afro:
-
Eh to each their own I guess. I find I fall in the middle where I like to do my own thing in single player games like Skyrim or dragon age, but also love the multiplayer of games like overwatch and battlefield. Never got much into mobas, did play smite for a while though. But then you have great games like civilization that are a nice balance of single and multiplayer. That's a game with that definite "one more turn" syndrome. Next thing you know it's 3 am haha.

ah man i miss Smite, it has changed since I last played it. I haven't played Civilization since it was the 360. Such a fun pass time game and I am thinking of investing into the new one perhaps. Unfortunately my attention span for games now is quite low now besides Overwatch. I like exercising and martial arts for recreation. But Overwatch just keeps delivering that mystery into the story and the characters are just interesting to learn about. Oh Sombra....*boop* :afro:

Overwatch player here as well. Such a fun game. Mainly a Junkrat player but I do play others.

Junkie is my main too. About 120 hours total into him. He gets such a bad rep as a trash player but a good Junkie is scary to go against.

He's very good at holding choke points and a lot of people don't seem to get that. If you know what you're doing, you can quite handily keep the enemy from advancement.

Junkrat is my worst nightmare in-game - I fall for every trap, mine, and also eat all the grenade spam whenever I'm against one. And then I tried playing him once and got annihilated too :(
I think I'll stick to my Mercy, tyvm xD

@PikaPika I'm gonna go solo Junk behind the enemy lines and spam..."I need healing" and wonder why you won't come heal me, haha.

We get a couple more and we could have a IYNO group on there, lol. I don't do comp much, but place in low gold. @Density likes to tank, and I'm generally riding the hog (although I don't know how much after PTR) or on Junkie half the time.

I play overwatch on a console
-
3rd golden weapon was hard to decide on. It was between Dva, Tracer, and Sombra; in the end i chose tracer because right now i am focusing on dpsing more since I can support with all the characters at high levels.
