Overwatch is an FPS game developed by Blizzard where characters have a set of abilities (similar to a MOBA) they can use rather than traditional loadouts and classes.





The game is finally out, and you can buy it for $40 at battle.net, or at a store nearby for your XBox 1 or PS4.


I made this so I won't be alone in hype :(

looks like it could be a good game. the potential is there. i think if i am going to get it though, it would be after the public release when there are plenty of reviews and gameplay videos though

ive played until lvl 50 in the closed beta, it was fun but gets boring pretty fast, it feels like every matches are the same, that's probably because the maps are too small

I'm already in love because it reminds me so much of TF2, which I've put 2000+ hours into. I think you might be right about the maps though. Especially when most matches won't get to round 3 because of the 'best out of 3' gameplay, so you're stuck in a loop unless both teams are evenly matched, where as in TF2, it was completely casual, so the rotation kept going and going. I wish I had beta access like you did, haha, shame it got boring for you though *cough*letmeintoyouraccount*cough*.

Blizzard's cashgrab potential seems insane, with so many lame drops and so few good ones. I'm not sure how much a crate costs tho.

the main problem imo is the business model, they want to make overwatch competitive but having a b2p model when most of the competitive games are f2p or old ip may not be a good idea, plus they're unknown on the fps market, the playerbase will mostly be wow/heartstone players

genji confirmed master yi?!?

And I actually didn't even know that they wanted to go so far into making the game competitive. I agree with your point.

have you tried to reduce the render scale? it gives a lot of fps if you set it low, i could play on high 70fps with my trash computer using the lowest render scale

I'm getting hyped for this game for some reason
Just not sure if it's going to be available here :c

I'm so hesitant to buy this game. My brother, sister in law and one of our friends pre-purchased it already and my girlfriend wants it. My experience with FPS games hasn't been good at all and this doesn't feel like it'll change my views at all. Terribly ignorant community and being at the bottom of the scoresheet between myself and my friends all the time just isn't fun.

What FPS games have you played? If you're talking more mainstream ones like CoD or Counter Strike then I totally relate, but FPS games like TF2 and Overwatch don't limit you to having to be an aim master to do well thanks to the existence of support classes which are crucial to the game.

anyone wanna help a brother out with an early access beta code? wanna try this game tonight :(

HI THERE

Spent most of my time merrily as Mercy and Zenyatta.
Laughed pretty hard at Reaper, he's a riot.
D.Va's bullshit self-destruct gets me through walls all day.
Hanzo's ult has hit and killed me literally every single time I've seen it used.


Pretty good stuff. I'll be buying.

Temple of Anubis's second objective is the best example of a Bastion going to town.
It's a matter of killing the Mercy that's healing the Bastion in the middle, and still not being able to take it down.

He's the Anti-Fun.

today's the last day of open beta

If you were an Xbone rat like I was and we didn't already have a full squad, I'd take you up on that.
Sorry though, we'll have to endure Bastion by ourselves.

Good luck. o7

I really enjoyed the beta so I thought I'd post here. Favorite character and character that needs nerf/buff most badly?

I really like Zenyatta from a gameplay and design perspective. His ability as a tank buster with discord orbs is really underrated as is his ult. Just give him 50-100 more health (not shield) and he'd be a lot more viable though. Widowmaker being able to kill him with one body shot is kinda dumb. As for nerfs I'm pretty sure a lot of people would agree Bastion in turret mode needs a nerf. Of course it isn't as good with a coordinated team, but in pugs he's stupidly OP. I'd just add damage dropoff to his shots in turret mode and make his setup into and out of turret mode longer. He'd still be dangerous but not horrible to play against.

Mercy, Zenyatta or Genji. I found them all pretty enjoyable.
I'm on the fence with Zenyatta. On one hand, I'm pretty okay with the glass cannon setup. His orbs, not even including the Discord orb, pack quite a punch. With a slight sniping capability, especially when charged, I find it -somewhat- acceptable he gets rocked by a shot. He's a healer first, after all.
Then again; it's pretty (read: really) irritating getting foot-killed, so. I might agree with your suggestions on 'em.

I'll leave Bastion alone, because he's already gotten' hammered. Besides, any Bastion that tries to shoot tank shells or his minigun at a lone Genji will get -fucked-.
So, I've found my personal counter. He still needs a nerf, but I don't think that needs to be said anymore.

I think Mcree is pretty fucking too good. Between his flashbang, his six-shot unload that will kill most heavies if they all land, headshots or no, and High Noon; I think he could stand to be taken down a bit.

At least a bad widowmaker uses their ult once in a while... I'd rather a bad player play someone with an ult that can benefit the team regardless of when it's used.
AutoMedic
Hanzo does a better job in enemy scouting imo

His Sonic Arrow can pretty much see through flank when it comes to defense Volskaya. I know Widowmaker's Infra-sight is really powerful, but it isn't time-efficient at all.
Lance
Specifically in a situation with a really bad player though? I'll take the character that just has to press Q. They won't mess that up half the time. I have to say I ran into an absurd amount of not so smart players during the open beta...
Wagarasu_old
It looks really fun. I like that you get lore with the characters, which you don't see with other FPS games. I don't think it's worth 40 dollars though.
