I didn't see a single red nose, so I disagree. Got more of a Samurai-Shamploo-crossed-with-a-Gorillaz-video vibe. So it's real bad, but hits some nostalgia points for me. Also there's elves.

i watched a video of a really annoying guy playing the beta. looks kinda lame to me. the medic character is a straight rip from TF2 except apparently has no offensive prowess so why the gently caress would anyone want to paly as her at least the medic in TF2 had that dope rear end needle gun to syringe fools with

Didn't really care about Battleborn before, but, yeah, poo poo, that's a fun video.

I hope Overwatch kills it fast (it will, just on the weight of the Blizzard brand alone, doesn't even matter how well they stack up) so it'll go on sale and I can pick it up for cheap just for its single player.

you're in luck they've already lowered the price from $60 to $40 and it's been out for less than a month lmao

It's funny that 90% of the stuff you get in the loot crates are sprays/player icons/voice lines, when TF2 let you customize most of that poo poo yourself(and has way more + better voice lines for each character).

If you want to play a healer with offensive abilities you play Lucio or Zenyatta. If you want to play a healer with insane mobility and healing you play Mercy, who has offensive capabilities in that she can heavily buff an ally's damage. Then there's symmetra who doesn't really heal but can put shields on allies.

That's the point. Overwatch isn't about picking a class and sticking to it, it's about picking the right hero for the current situation.

Eh, Lucio isn't really offensive as you can only hit enemies running straight at you with his weak as pulse gun, his knockback is good though. Zenyatta is fun enough, but dies from a single widowmaker bodyshot which makes him extremely frustrating to play, and Symmetra lol 25 shields is literally nothing, she is all about the teleporter and auto aim turrets/gun

which is kind of weird they've put such a big emphasis on their character development and worldbuilding or whatever the gently caress

Overwatch assets are reused from Blizzards failed next gen MMO Titan so I'm sure internally at blizzard they have a lot more lore etc than your typical shooter

I enjoyed the hell out of crowbar smacking people back in the day too but I wouldn't say Overwatch even has that kind of balance

Like every weapon was a legit threat in HL1, even the pistol only took a few shots to take someone out. Try shooting the wrong dude with the wrong weapon (character) in Overwatch and it'll just piss them off and get you dead when they notice

Even Mercy's peashooter can take out most character sin 10 hits, and it fires pretty quickly.

I got this game last night because of all the hype and hey it's actually pretty fun to come home after a grueling day at work to be able to sit down and play shootmans for like 20 minutes or whatever before I have to make dinner and do other poo poo. Definitely a cross between TF2 and League of Legends with less of the repetition of TF2 and without the huge time commitment of playing a match of League. Overall I think this is a pretty good game
