I saw this game and figured it would be bad. Was relieved to see that the prevailing opinion ITT was "it's bad" and now I feel vindicated.

I watched the videogamedunkey vid of this game and the only hero that looks remotely fun is Pudge the Butcher, can you confirm y/n?

Sometimes you want to play 4 dimensional chess, sometimes you want to just play Hungry Hungry Hippos or Uno with friends

Its good to have variety, esp. With TF2 making GBS threads itself with really bad gimmicks

I haven't played TF2 since before they introduced hats, what kind of gimmicks are we talking about here?

If that's Roadhog he rules, all the characters are fun, there are some I don't really play but other people like them. This, I think, is the hallmark of a good game, which overwatch is

Pudge is a character that hooks people close to him then kills them with his short range spells. He also has a lot of HP.

Well some in this thread think it is good and some think it is bad, and then there's Dr. Tim Whatley and I can't even tell what he thinks.

basically if you liked sc2 for its non-interactive, no-counterplay spells like force field and the old version of fungal growth, you'll love overwatch since a lot of times you just press q and your opponent can't do poo poo.

and if you play mei you don't even have to press q

i think the funniest thing about overwatch is that the mmo it's salvaged from sounded dumb as gently caress. like "this shouldn't have made it past a brainstorming sesh" bad. why weren't they making worlds of starcraft.

Here's the deal, there's a lot of people in the world that are just working hard day in and out, trying to keep the honest path for themselves but at the end of the day it comes down to that in fact it's not good, it's bad it's a bad thing and it's not good.
