TF2 using server browser - hmm let's see all these are full, these all have crit enabled/disabled which I don't like, these have awful pings, ah here we go. Oh god dammit these are all bots, back to the list, here's another one oh dammit this one has all that bullshit premium reward stuff, etc etc where's that blacklist I got on reddit or whatever

Overwatch - I clicked play and am now playing the game. Everything is fine and how I'd expect it.

I love seeing lone Reinhardt as a mei just ice block the charge and use the freeze ray when he inevitable pulls out the shield.

you get the point; its easier to say what your team needs without specifying "no, the laser rockets do almost no damage to the turrets, just use the normal rifle we both know you've never had a critstreak with that bazaar one, we could really use an uber instead of kritzkrieg"

also lol if you're a server list warrior but haven't found a server where people play as a team and switch roles when needed

Since there are a lot of people being idiots in this thread I figured I'd come in and say that Overwatch is exactly like TF2. They are in fact the same game. Namaste.

It wouldn't hurt anything to have it there but why bother and who cares? If you're playing UT or whatever and want to find a game with these mutators on that custom map etc etc then yeah server browsers are good but for a game like Overwatch where everything is put out by the developers (or TF2 where all the custom stuff sucks massive poo poo) then there's no point except for feeling like a cool PC user guy.

remember in quake 3 where you had to wade through the server list because 90% were excessive loving overkill

remember in Quake 3 how even basic player movement had a huge amount of depth and skill to it? And once you learned to strafe-jump, there was this gliding rhythm to the game, almost like flying, and the really good players could move a little faster and turn a little sharper through graceful play.

It was like murder ballet.

What I'm saying is Quake was and is a much better game.

Overwatch now before it dwindles into tryhards, DOOM later when there's a sweet sale cause you're only gonna play the singleplayer and maybe glance at the snapmaps

the nice thing is that there is still a more or less vanilla quake 3 server with good players on it (crom FFA) which i play (badly) on often
on the other hand i have made my peace with not being able to bunny hop

I played exactly one round of Overwatch during the beta, I chose Bastion and topped the scoreboard, got Play of The Game, thought "cool", and never played it again.

I like to think of myself as a trendsetter.

Dedicated servers were only necessary when everyone didn't almost universally have decent broadband connections, along with operating systems and routers that usually have workable default settings for being a host for ~15 people. The only time it's a problem is when people play outside their region, which is super easy to prevent.

I played three rounds of the beta with Bastion. And even with other Bastions on the team I had the play of the game in all of them.
I cancelled my pre-order slightly after that.

It's a beautiful game, but just boring.

Bastion gets dunked on a lot these days. People have more idea how to deal with him. Although he can still rip poo poo up if you're good.

I can only play 1-2 hours a day without getting bored & doing something else, possibly productive? Obviously a bad game as I base my life on character development & grinding in video games =/. Really wish there was enough of a skinner box to hook me for 5-6 hours a day. After all I want my purchase to average about $0.05 per hour I play to really get my max entertainment value.
