im not saying that it's a good thing it's hard/impossible to play past versions of games you like, but the idea that this is the first time this has ever happened is super wild

most mercy mains I've seen talk about the jump changes seem to agree that each revision has been better than the last, and also that they should have just not messed with it in the first place. i haven't put time into mercy since before Ana even existed so i can't comment but otherwise she seems basically the same.

I actually really enjoyed playing support in OW2's beta, particularly bridgitte, mercy, and lucio. Not to discount the opinions of those who didn't, but I've just seen a lot of doom and gloom around it, saying you just die to dps constantly, and that really wasn't my experience at all. Granted I haven't played OW1 since year one so I can't compare it to the modern OW1 experience, but I don't feel like I was dying more on support than other roles (even less in the case of mercy who can just elect to Not Die Forever a lot of the time) and my kits always felt very impactful. I've been playing a lot of TF2 lately, often of community servers where people know how to shoot guns at heads, so maybe I'm just more okay with spending time in respawn than a lot of people Countblanc fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Sep 19, 2022 |

I think it's a feature, not bug situation because people who don't really have any interest in learning the game past a very basic level (which is a huge amount of OW's population) generally love choke points for the same reason people prefer defense to offense - you just shoot at there obvious game prescribed frag generator location and the kill feed lights up. This is honestly pretty true in TF2 too, the most popular maps there still have mondo chokes. Even the map often heralded as TF2's greatest, Badwater Basin, has tons of points in the map where there's no realistic way to approach the enemy kill blob other than head-on (though there's some points that are much better).

My friend who played the beta with me and prefers high execution fast characters in basically every game specifically disliked her and Winston for being so effective against the type of character he likes for relatively less effort, otherwise idk. Her yellow mists look gross, I guess that's something.

here's my idea for the new tank passive - embiggen: you get all the current stuff but also every time you get a kill your model size increases by 1% for the rest of the game

Again, playing support in OW2's beta was way more fun than OW1 after the brief era where 4 tracers and 2 lucios wasn't uncommon in KotH. Its way more fun using my survival skills more often which the 1 tank game facilitates. I really don't think it's being "bent around dps"

Gravitas Shortfall posted:Push it real good! This is a super pretty map, but OW's Overton 3 with putting tables and chairs all over the place to make combat arenas feel more like real spaces isn't something I really vibe with. I find I'm just constantly bumping into poo poo during firefights and it makes rooms way smaller than they look initially given the otherwise large layouts and high ceilings.

Jack Trades posted:The worst part of Battle Passes is that it adds a meta layer on top of your gaming sessions and you can't just fire up the game and play anymore because the game will constantly nag you about having to do paperwork between matches and jumping through hoops in the middle of matches and all of that poo poo just sours the whole experience, even if the game itself is otherwise fun. Play this role/mode you don't care about 3 times today, Recruit! Don't want to fall behind the exp curve, do you?

OW2 needs more interactions like the dwarves where they say poo poo like "about time, fat boy". enough wholesome friendly characters, make everyone salty and tired of each other's poo poo

Torb should get one referencing all those "dead torb and sentry gets 3 kills vids". Just have a sentry firing at targets off screen in the foreground and torb taking a dirt nap far in the background

It's also incredible bad tummyfeels to find out that if you just bought OW1 6 years ago you'd have all this but now you're trapped in Engagement Hell for the next 60 hours while your OW1 friends who asked you to play can do whatever.

there has basically been no good news regarding OW2 in the wider gaming media. fewer characters than the expected 5, weird anti-consumer practices, questionable aesthetic decisions, articles about egregious team size and gameplay changes, arguments that there arent gameplay changes, etc.. basically nothing good has come out about the game all year that wasn't just actually playing the beta. which was fun! i loved playing the beta, it was a good time, and ultimately "game is fun to play" will trump the vast majority of things. but it's not at all hard to see why every single thing gets a more and more negative response when there's simply been nothing positive to talk about. like the most positive reporting ive seen in months has been "feature that was just leaked or announced is actually not as bad as it sounds!!"

It really feels like a spreadsheet toucher saw that players valued access to heroes very highly, noted most of the new cosmetics are very uninspired, and looked at Player Engagement Metrics in other battlepass games. And ultimately decided that restrictive character unlocks would be what kept people logged into the game for the most hours per week.

I don't see an option to preload OW2, just OW1 and the OW2 beta (which I still have installed). Is the latter what I need?
