Blizzard's recipe for success: rip off whatever the most popular CGI studio is doing. In overwatch's case: Big Hero Six.

No, it's a game you can sit down and play for 10 minutes and not care about anything. It is very rewarding to people who are bad at games and even if everyone in the match sucks it'll still be like "This one guy did something really cool" at the end of the match

ive had no interest in this game until this

After playing the beta, this game feels like it should be $20, $30 at the most. But it's a blizzard skin of tf2 so it'll sell like hotcakes.

There are like 4 characters whose guns have automatically curving bullets that track enemies so pick your favorite

edit: Well, 3 characters. The 4th has a lightning tesla gun kinda thing

There are a lot of people in that picture. Please explain how any of them are more differentiated than TF2 classes. Is there a fat, slow character with a big gun? A sniper? A sprightly smartass character? Looks like all the bases are covered.

Half-serious about this - what makes the characters well-defined rather than a blurry spectrum of classes?

with Blizzard(Tm)'s Overwatch(r) you don't have to choose! Every loving fps trope ever conceived is represented. there are twenty-one classes.

Matches are short, and you can just sit down and play a quick match game and be done. At the end of the match something figures out what the "play of the game" was and it shows from the players perspective how they killed or resurrected a bunch of people in a short span of time. Sometimes it's very cool

It's fun, has potential to be a good competitively. I think the no-scoreboard thing at the end of the match is a smart move - it intuitively encourages teamplay instead of just racking up kills.

They basically split TF2 Classes in half. For instance there is a character who builds teleporters and a character who builds automatic turrets.
