Ddraig posted:Overwatch reminds me of the early TF2 when it was actually balanced and each character had clearly defined roles and you didn't really have to wonder what type of bullshit you would be up against today. This so much. TF2 jumped the shark when they kept adding so much extra nonsense to make it "zany", and it ruined the game.

Lastgirl posted:I stopped playing because the soldier demo nade rocket spam was outrageous and they introduced more weapons to make them even spammier It was more when they started introducing items that changed the basic class mechanics. Demo's that can run faster than scouts and heal off metal? What?! Heavies that can move silently? Spy cloaks that make you invulnerable while cloaked? The power creep got ridiculous, and the demographic ate it up. I'm also super glad its limited to 6v6 and its not just huge spam fests. You have to pay attention in this game, and hopefully it keeps the casuals out. (Who am I kidding I'm a casual, but you know what I mean).

Lastgirl posted:now its all coming back to me, the demo with the insane insta kill charges yeah I hated it from day one as a Gamer Snob. I grew up on TFC with a 56k modem, and ROcket/Conc jumps were the mark of competency. Now you can right click and get an insta kill and then zip away for full health. Game broken.

I said it in the other game and I'll say it again, Gearbox has always been bad. From Half Life: Opposing Force, to Borderlands, to this, Gear Box has always put out a bad product. Some fun writing and dialogue, but as a total package their games are at best Below Average. This is just more evidence of this.

Runefaust posted:I could never get into Borderlands. Because of that, I knew right off hand that Battleborn wouldn't be my thing. Borderlands is bad and has always been bad. Like Halo, it just hit the right time and the right place with subpar gameplay and a few zany lines. I have strong feelings about these terrible games.

Symmetra still needs a buffer but she's still fun. Re: toxicity, I've always said the best way to combat toxicity is to remove anonymity. People are far less likely to be toxic if it removes them from all blizzard games and has their real name attached. It's not like lol where you can just make another account. It works.

Facebook self selects and is different than a game platform. Racists can find racists and chill, but none racists don't tolerate it so the racists arent racist to their non racist friends.

BARONS CYBER SKULL posted:Do you want video gamers knowing you full real name? No you misread what I was saying. I wasnt' saying other players would know your real name, I meant Blizzard could. When you sign up you're required to put your real name in and it ties all of your blizzard stuff to your ONE account. So unlike LoL or even Steam, if you gently caress up, you're locked out of all of it. Their only F2P games are HotS and Hearthstone, so all other games you're pretty much boned if you screw up by being toxic and you lose all of your money and progress, whereas on other platforms its all free anyways.

DreamShipWrecked posted:A longer AFK timer maybe but definitely not a longer setup time. It takes seconds to set up stuff on the defensive side, there isn't a TF2 engineer trying to put up a level 3 sentry and sprinting around the map for the entire minute. A minute thirty to pick characters is way too long Yeah just a longer AFK penalty. IF you get booted for AFK your group continues without you and you can't rejoin. Talk about the suck.

I like tracer but there is definitely a difficulty curve to her. I find myself often getting the jump on an enemy and buzzing their health down to like..20..and then either dying, get stunned, or they get away. I gotta figure out how to seal the deal instead of just mildly wounding them. Her guns just get so inaccurate its crazy.

Always join Goon Discord. You'll not only make friends, but you'll find a team thats a bit more balance because everyone wants to work together. Just don't play with tcjimbo if he shows up, and if someone is bugging you, there are scores of other goons to team with. Plus as a mega bonus you may actually get to play with Legendary Forums Poster Jastiger!!

DreamShipWrecked posted:I do enjoy playing with goons but I really wish it was more drop-in than it is now. I generally don't join groups through Discord or direct invite because I am only planning on playing a match or two to chill and I don't want to commit to seriously playing it. I agree but thats more a function of the game. You have to wait for a new round to start or else you're boned so dropping in and out with buddies is a lot harder than it would otherwise be. A bummer for sure.

PureRok posted:Wouldn't the porn fall under parody/fair use and thus technically isn't doing anything wrong? I think technically it would, but I think they are sampling their assets and audio which may cross a line vs being original content, so I'm not so sure. Its also probably because its being monetized on those sites so they are essentially selling Overwatch animation without permission from Blizzard.

I think a scoreboard would definitely be good in competitive mode because it'd help you figure out what needs to change. In regular mode, nah, there just isn't anything you can do about it. We had a 5 team of goons that went against an all Mei team, and the 6th player was just total dead pubbie weight. We asked nicely, we asked meanly, it didn't matter, he kept trying to Genji them all. I can't imagine having a scoreboard showing us how much he was doing terribly would have really helped the situation at all.

I th ink a lot of things that would go a long way towards helping balance Widow and ROadhogg would be nerfing the aoe effect of their shots. THeir hit scan radius is pretty big. I see a lot of clear misses that end up being hits because the game is pretty forgiving. I feel like McCree and Mei have to really aim for that head, but Widow and Road don't so much.

I mean when I do it, it happens too. I'll be NEAR them with the hook and bam I got em. Same with Widow, they'll or I'll shot 3 times and miss miss mis oh that one hit haha. Eh..

Help Im Alive posted:I wouldn't complain if they did since I play her the most but the damage feels pretty good to me Definitely more splash. I point blank shot a reaper in the head, both of us full health, then hit him twice more and he managed to still kill me with like 15 hp or whatever, and I hit him twice with one splash. Ridiculous. I think the splash should remain small to avoid spammy stuff, but direct hits should HURT a lot more than they do now.

Drakes posted:Something went wrong if reaper got right into your face. He was probably bouncing around while dumping sooo your shots were just poor ? Two direct hits + melee should have done him in. Yeah I definitely nailed him and then had a near miss, and I still died. Frustrating for sure. I just know I"m tired of direct hitting people and them just walking away like nothing happened, especially big dudes like Roadhogg and the like. I nailed you 3 times in the FACE fucker, you should die. Especially Reaper and the like.

Six-Of-Hearts posted:Dunno, duder. Would be pretty op if you could score kill shots with ease and still shrug off head shots from the mods. Thats how it is right now. As for Reinhard, and I don't know if there is a way to fix it, it always bugged me that you could start the swing facing one direction, and rotate in a circle and essentially have a full hammer swing for 360 degrees. I just do that and everyone around me dies because I guess momentum isn't a thing.

I'm having a hard time finding a reason to justify any other healer over Mercy when in a tough game. Lucio is so cool and Zen is definitely different and interesting, but Mercy just out performs all of them in a pinch. Its so frustrating to have a really good Lucio or Zen and still get rolled because they have that all important res or that clutch heal at the crucial moment. She has more mobility than Zen and has more actual heal than Lucio. I don't know how to fix it, but it just seems that if you're going to have a healer, it has to be Mercy otherwise you're at a disadvantage against an equally competent Mercy on the other team. Edit re: Spawntimes: Yeah its frustrating to dominate a team for 95% of the match, team kill them, then they come back and are RIGHT THERE at the point by the time you get there and lose because of timing. Frustrating as hell. I don't know if they need longer spawn times or what, but it definitely is frustrating to have that handicap for a team getting dominated.

You see him online in discord or battle net (Jastiger#1506) be sure to snatch him up for a good time- double if he's been drinking. I'm just telling you what the big publications and academics are saying.
