its garbage. TF2 with none of the wit and all of the microtransactions.

and its 40 bucks (unless you get the MTN DEW DELUXE EDITION then its 60)

This isn't actually true.

Some people in the Overwatch thread have mentioned dropping $40 to buy 50 boxes to hopefully get cool costumes. I don't understand that; it's first person; you can't see your own costume.

e: and they'd eventually unlock the costumes just playing the game anyway.

Right I bought this loving thing, and whilst I'm not the best at video games, the loving blue monkey does NOT auto aim, even when I press the Super Power button.

Did you fuckers lie to me or did you mean a different character? If I get sniped one more time I will get very angry and not play this game any more.

blue monkey? monkey blue?

paying 60$ to play a beta.

are open betas even a thing that companies do anymore or did they all realize that morons will pay them for the privilege of testing their game?

I miss game manuals.
Contents of Overwatch Origins Edition box:
Overwatch Game DVD in cardboard sleeve. DVD shockingly contains an installer.
Code for Noire Widowmaker Skin
Card for "FREE HERO - JAINA" for HOTS
Card for a HearthStone free card pack
Card for StarCraft II Guest Pass (probably no different than the demo so probably pointless)
Card for WOW Guest Pass (no different than the play to level 20 demo so pointless)
Blizzard notepad

Hey Blizzard, next time you give me a bunch of pieces of paper maybe put stuff about the game I'm buying on those pieces of paper.

i watched a video of a really annoying guy playing the beta. looks kinda lame to me. the medic character is a straight rip from TF2 except apparently has no offensive prowess so why the gently caress would anyone want to paly as her at least the medic in TF2 had that dope rear end needle gun to syringe fools with

If you want to play a healer with offensive abilities you play Lucio or Zenyatta. If you want to play a healer with insane mobility and healing you play Mercy, who has offensive capabilities in that she can heavily buff an ally's damage. Then there's symmetra who doesn't really heal but can put shields on allies.

That's the point. Overwatch isn't about picking a class and sticking to it, it's about picking the right hero for the current situation.

Have you seen the character designs? Nearly every woman is wearing skintight clothes and has a big butt, minus maybe the eskimo girl

Pretty easy to see why it set both the horndogs and the anti-horndogs into overdrive

symmetra and mercy have the strategic butt covering quota covered. it's all good.

Deathmatch makes absolutely no sense for Overwatch. If you want a deathmatch mode the closest thing that makes sense would be a mode where you fight for control of points- which already exists.

plenty of people have been playing TF2 DM for years now, why not OW

Because it would be all s76 genji and hanzo. I guess TF2 is a team shooter too so DM shouldn't make sense on that game either, but I can't really speak for TF2 players. Lots of people thinking OW much suck because it isn't a game that it isn't trying to be.

Most ults are easily dodgeable because it plays a sound a second or two before the ult actually happens. They are more about area denial. I guess what I'm saying is git gud, m8.

I don't know about Reaper, but D.Va's ult is insanely easy to dodge because it beeps for several seconds, which is good because her ult charges super fast.

His default skin is basically the man with no name. I'd love if they made a Dirty Harry variant skin but it would change the silhouette too much so they'll never do it.
