Dr. Tim Whatley posted:Your answer is simple. The game is bad I've actually really come around to it. Someone told me to play as Pharah to get a better idea of sneaky verticality, and yeah, turns out there's actually a lot of it, and it really makes the maps more interesting. Like, DE_Dust has those two routes that open out either end into more routes, and everyone knows how it's going to play out and so can bluff / double bluff / set traps etc, which is cool and good. The more you play overwatch, the more points in the maps start to feel like that, where coming from a clever angle at an odd time can win a round. At first it all just feels random and kind of bullshit. I still don't like blizzards approach to visual language though. They try and make everything look like it's part of the level, so you've no idea if you can say fly over a particular building or destroy a particular part of terrain just by looking at it, and this has a material impact on the gameplay. This adds up to it actually having a pretty high barrier to entry (before it's a good game) and everything before that is kind if poo poo. But everything about the game screams at you "this is it! You've mastered it all!" Right out the gate.

Don't believe him. When I was waking from anesthesia I saw Dr Tim and his hygienist logging out of Overwatch.

One thing I don't get though, why are symmetra and torbjorn different class? They're identical in purpose? Turret, armor, poo poo close range gun? Also, why does it ever say 'no builder'? Like, does the computer get mad if he doesn't get to control part of your team? Seems so arbitrary. Maybe the game IS bad after all?

You can tell this game is bad by the way its fans call people who want more depth from their games autists. Like it's autistic to want something to be higher quality. Just eat the garbage like the rest of us, retard.

CrashCat posted:I wouldn't call it autistic but it's absolutely missing the point to gripe about the depth. The game is to FPS what Hearthstone is to card games, it's intentional and it's not gonna be 'deepened' until a few months in just like they did with that game. Oh, so it's a bad game?

!Klams posted:Yeah, but then my monitor has gsync, so maybe it's that? Dunno it's really odd. I'll see if maybe it's something to do with my graphics cards settings rather than the settings within the game, but I'm pretty sure the cards are set to 'performance'. do you have multiple pre-rendered frames in your video driver settings? that can cause input lag

overwatch is a game designed to be as appealing as possible to a wide audience and in true blizzard fashion it is deceptively simple. im not saying its some brilliant tactical shooter because its not, but no poo poo you played the game for 30 minutes and it looks like babbys first shooter its designed to get people into it that dont play shooters trust me tho just play it and switch characters a bunch even if you think its too dumb and designed for retards (because it is, and half of the characters are bad). thats what i thought and now i have like 20 hours in it. is goot fun.

Zarya can also shield allies, and babybjorn can armor allies. And she isn't useless elsewhere she wrecks face.
