It came out in a time when nearly every shooter on console had some sort of terrible autolock aiming system, at the time hold L1 aim manually was a revelation.

It came out in 2005 waaaaaaaaaay after we moved past auto lock on console (except for gamecube).

I sincerely doubt it'll ever get a deep enough discount on switch for me to consider it but tbh I bought overwatch for it the other day so anything is possible

Not buying Diablo 3 on switch but being willing to buy Overwatch on switch is the single dumbest videogame opinion ever posted on the internet - not being hyperbolic or exaggerating for humour either - #1 by a distance

Its a 16 year old videogame op. Playing it now will never be as good as in 2005.

Resident Evil 4 holds up really well. Maybe not as good as a brand new game but its still really fun and smooth to play with great moments and a funny cool vibe.

Thank you, I try very hard without ever compromising my integrity. Anyway I like overwatch a lot but the port is pretty bad so I deserve this. If Diablo ever gets down to 25 bucks I'll consider it

Like i dont want to just sound like an internet troll here but I'm fascinated. You could have bought Overwatch anytime in the past 5 years, preferably on pc right at the start when it was at its best. I'm curious - was it the draw of portable Overwatch that really sold you? I mean have fun with it but jeez the ship sailed and is on its way back.

I mean I own it on PC already I just wanted to play it on my bong deck in the rain dude. It literally only released on switch last year. The gyro controls are a cute gimmick but also pretty bad if you have motion sickness issues. I still don't think spending 90 bucks on Diablo 3 is going to noticeably improve the bad decisions I made to get to where I am

gently caress Diablo is £42 on Switch, i just assumed it was cheaper.

Still though, Overwatch is a loving awful game, it was super fun in the beta when it was free and no-one had any idea what to do. Its awful to play, its awful as a spectator. Its awful compared to Team Fortress.

Don't get my wrong i could blast a bong and do a few Reinhart runs a couple of years ago and I'm sure its as playable as a first person shooter where the developers just randomly ban heros every week because they can't be bothered with balance updates is ever gonna get.

Never pass on a chance to dunk on Overwatch

Agreed. There's a lot of stuff from that era that was great at the time but is barely even playable my modern standards.

There is cheap stuff available for the switch, but a lot of that is because of its massive shovelware problem.

overwatch was good in the beta and maybe for a bit after release. blizzard had no idea about what they were doing balance wise: nerfing pudge hook shot combo, mccree stopped being a tank killer at point blank range, and the most funniest was buffing mercys heal when she was the a must-pick citing that she is a "single-target" healer not realizing that you can switch targets often. i assume they just never played the game or watched it being played.

Well the thing about snipers in a game like Overwatch is you just have to ask "what % of players are having a better time if this isn't in the game".

no im not in russia, the game auto detects your region and locks you there, i had to contact support and it took like a week or so to convince them to get it changed. at which point i played like 3 games and uninstalled

While you're playing Vasily Zaitsev and landing a shot every couple of minutes, your team are getting pulverised. Unless you're pro as gently caress, you're basically absentee.

Overwatch is 6 v 6, and has 3 sniper classes - but it also has about a billion characters designed to gently caress snipers up with 0 effort. Which means if you're playing one of the non dead weight characters you're outnumbered 2:1, your enemies are everywhere, you have no backup, you get loving rolled, and then at the end SLAMZO_420 goes "i have gold dmg where was tank omg n00b team" and then fucks off to be a boat anchor on the next game.

Diablo 3 was the first Diablo game I played (only completed D1 once) and man the writing in that game is something else.
You have a master of deception you can spot a mile away, a master strategist who brags about the things he's totally going to get away with,
and a granddaughter who thinks her old man is being too superstitious in a dark fantasy setting with magic.

Anyway I guess that's not an unpopular opinion.
I still prefer Titan Quest. Gonna have to try to actually finish it one of these days.

i dunno i guess it depends on the game though, i remember snipers were pretty useful in games like battlefield 1942, and i think it's especially fun when everybody is a sniper
