overwatch isnt immediately terrible, but i aint paying for it. i thought it was going to be f2p with a model like dota's where you buy cosmetic poo poo. dunno where i got that idea though

blizzards last 2 games are f2p so that would be a reasonable assumption

i legit sat here for like 2 minutes thinking "hearthstone and.... they had another one? d3 costs money and so does sc2..." before opening up bnet and seeing hots. that game is way too forgettable

the only thing i remember hots for is that playing a support actually felt like doing so, a novelty thing for mobas

dota model in particular was a very far fetched assumption though, as both hots and hearthstone have very greedy, in a limiting way, models

actually its fairly different from majority of mobas, just not always in a good way and the 'im different' in moba is not a game changer per se with how specific genre is

generic moba is sth more like this

(don't play it, it's incredibly bad compared to just moba games)
(like, literally the worst moba, objectively speaking)

yeah csgo is like $15 max, and is CS. that's a little different than a new IP being sold for $40+, blizzard or not

even csgo wouldnt be it without massive price drop, decade of legacy or not

Finally installed and played a bit of overwatch.

It's basically TF2 only more direct-combat oriented. There's not as much incentive to have people camping your base since there's no spy analog.

it's a decent game but the blizzard "everyone is a winner" carebear poo poo around the core is out of control. there isn't even a kill feed or an actual scoreboard which is ridiculous.

I like that it kinda encourages everyone to be out mixing it up instead of camping. It is very carebearish- ultimate moves are basically ways for even the shittiest players to be useful for a second or two, and class roles are pretty pidgeonholed by skill/weapon design and base life.

yeah but at the end of the game it shows 4 random [high #] and people get to vote and it says epicc!!!

also the sick rear end 'best moment of the game' where a sniper kills 2 people because game devs still think snipers are good or fun

I'm kind of enjoying being a healer when people aren't complete retards but uh that's been like 2/10 matches so far. The damage boost from mercy lets some heroes completely loving wreck everything which is cool. I just now got a commendation over the guy I boosted into wiping the whole enemy team which is kinda hilarious
