Overwatch - what so good about it?

Hey everyone

so all my fellow gamers and friends, recently i was watching overwatch gameplay. and to me it scream another destiny, titanfall and division. im not impressed by it. plus it has no single player campaign and they are selling it as full priced game. why many PC gamers are looking forward to this? its because its made by blizzard?

the characters looks stupid and cartoony. the gameplay looks like any other generic shooter.

I respect you

it just looks like another shooter to me. nothing besides the art style stands out and thats not really enough for me

I don't respect you :P

Better than Metro, Stalker Snipes lol.

The game is nothing like Destiny, Titanfall or Division. If you want to compare it to something then TF2 is the closest to it. Overwatch has more classes and more variation in game objects etc.

Why people are looking forward to it when it has no single player? Most played games on PC are multiplayer games.

The artwork is fine and nothing feels like it doesn't belong there. It may not be a graphical masterpiece but it runs fine and looks good enough, you dont have hard time seeing what actually happens on the screen.

It's a team based shooter that's quite easy to get in to and it's quite enjoyable on top of it. Nothing really screams about "generic shooter"

No problem. i even respect those who hate me.

Dunno, seems like it's a game for the devs and their feminist friends to play because they censor anything that might be offensive. Other than that, no idea but then again these sorts of shooters are not my cup of tea.

The tv animations kids watch these days have more sexual content than Overwatch so it is quite ridiculous to see how some people still manage to get their panties twisted about it

Awww Snipes, you've changed. Hope you stay and don't get banned. Always enjoy reading your comments :)

You watched Overwatch gameplay and you felt reminded of Destiny and Division? I seriously question your knowledge of games...
Has no single player: why would it need one?

I'm glad this comes with a (full) price tag. This will already keep out many F2P morons that destroy so many communities (just look at MOBAs) and future updates will be "free", so there won't be any of the nonesense like paying for an additional character or map. I think that's a great move.

You say it looks like a generic shooter? 21 different classes with different skills isn't something I'd consider generic. The artstyle is also rather unique, so once again, not generic.

Most of all, the game just looks like fun. I've watched plenty of streams the past weeks and people always had a blast. The maps seem well designed, skills are fun to use, I dig the character design and their backstories, visuals look lovely...

If you don't like fast paced, team based shooters, I guess this is nothing for you. I myself and many of my friends can't wait for its release.

It has character and style.

Honestly, you should remove that Shadow Warrior banner if you have a problem with the look of the game.

Looks more fast paced and fun than Doom. Comparing it to Destiny is stupid,,, it's Blizzard.

LOL no. Doom looks far more fun, more badass, brutal and manly. have much better gunplay.

Overwatch shooting doesnot looks engaging. it looks rather mediocre. yes its blizzard but still they are making destiny 2.0.

Still dont see how you can compare this to Destiny

This game and the 10 other arena shooters coming out all look bland, generic and uninspired.

Well said. In the beginning, I wasn't so sure about the game when it was announced but more I saw, the more I liked it. Really looking forward to the game. It's extremely rare for me to get excited for multiplayer only game but this is one of those rare cases. I mean you have 21 playable classes, each with different play style, Buy to play model, Free post launch content, unique art, advance sound technology (forgot the term but I think Overwatch is the first game to use it on headphones) and so on.

In other words, Doom looks like yet another grey macho man shooter.

Destiny? Lol WTF? Destiny is completely different beast than Overwatch. I don't think you understand what kind of game, Destiny is.

Are you sure you were watching overwatch? I mean I'm not saying the game is good but its nothing like destiny, the division or titanfall. Did you just pick random shooters to compare it to? Were you drunk or high? Please explain

Huh. I didn't know you were this stupid.

To you, Overwatch screams Destiny, Titanfall and Division? You sure you were watching Overwatch? And you complain about no single-player? It's a fucking multi-player game. Designed for multi-player. I've no idea why you're asking for something that's bound to be completely unnecessary and half-assed if they were to make it.

Seriously dude, think before you post. Especially if you're gonna do your own threads.

A gamer talks about manliness, this must be one of the most ridiculous things I ever heard.

I dont really care for MP only games.

I thought 1 of the rules of this forum was to respect each other?

It'll rub vaseline on your hiney and tell you it's special and different from everyone else's.

Snipes always respects everyone ( Never seen Him insulting anyone on this forum ), He's a well mannered User :)

It's because Blizzard. Nothing much beyond that. They've been on a pretty high pedestal for a long time despite not making best-in-class games for many years now.

Because it's basically TF3 and people want another TF2 like game, but with WAAAY more classes that have insanely varying gameplay styles.

I can already hear people screaming about op things

I dunno. Looks like a different version of TF2 and I wasn't a huge fan of that.

I think it looks much better than generic military shooters or movie games, personally. Closest thing to TF3, which valve will never do, so bring it on.

@vfighter: What are you blind?

Very simple for me, these are the 2 criteria that made me preorder the game:

1-Shooter, a genre I like

2-Blizzard, easily one of the best devs in existence. Blizzard only releases games that are polished to the max(in my experience anyways, back in the day when the first Starcraft was released, I still remember how long it took them to release StarCraft because they are perfectionists).

Also, as per my 2nd point, I believe this is their first high-profile launch on consoles, so I definitely want to support them in that sense, I'm a huge fan of Diablo 2 as well, so I have experience with their products. Hopefully I wont be disappointed with this game.

Nothing is THAT good ... Its just a Blizzard game . If this game was anything else than Blizzard i would bet my life it wouldnt even be known to half of people now praising it. Yes , Blizzard hype train is that strong.

Blizzard in nowhere near to the top developers in the world as they used to be , let the fanboys say that to justify their hype over decent FREE 2 PLAY caliber games.

The new era of Blizzard games are not worthy to even mention them as top video games let alone compare them to the old time greats like Diablo / Starcraft / Warcraft and WoW. Diablo 3 an epic dissapointment which shaped up after 2-3 years , Starcraft 2 nothing much compared to original SC , Hearthstone is one of the same card games that existing since forever , HOTS nothing major , Overwatchers nothing major either.

F2P caliber games that mimicking other popular games with a blizzard spin off its all blizzard doing. The once best deveoper in the world which r-evolutionized entire genres ended up a free 2 play caliber developer with simplistic games that offering nothing special anymore. After so many billions in profits i would expect the next big revolution ... and all we are getting are F2P caliber games.

Absolutely nothing. Also that stupid ape commercial is annoying as ****. It's like poverty tier Pixar.

I can't even remember the last time I enjoyed a Blizzard title other than Diablo 2.

sfm

elaborate please. this may consider to be just spam my dear friend

I'm gonna try it because it's not an 80 dollar game

Don't know, want to try the open beta to see what it's like

@ghosts4ever: Animated porn.

Legion, Legacy of the Void, and Overwatch do not feel F2P caliber to me at all.

Lets summarize so you understand my point :

Oldschool blizzard :

Warcraft series , Diablo1/2 , World of Warcraft , Starcraft , Original DOTA

Newschool Blizzard :

Hearthstone , Diablo 3 , Heroes of the Storm , Overwatch and Starcraft 2.

Which blizzard you prefer ? The one of revolutions/evolutions or the one of typical one of the same shit that so many others offering for free ?

Sorry but Overwatch is nothing to be that excited for , i stick to my original statement that if Overwatch was coming from other company than Blizzard half of people or even less that , would be excited about it. Same for HOTS , same for Hearthstone , same for Diablo 3 and sadly , same for Starcraft 2.

Clearly old blizzard, and this goes for most companies though. From square to valve to sega.

But my point stands, Those 3 games do not feel F2P in any way shape or form.

Tc is a prime example of someone who needs to be quiet and not speak their mind, after seeing "it reminds me of Destiny, The Division and Titanfall" I felt like the world just got dumber.

Overwatch is screaming F2P . The others are not.

what is wrong with you?

Your opinion nothing major either.

Its not opinion , its a fact that after WoW blizzard has neither evolutionized or revolutionized anything or didnt release a MAJOR caliber game even.

This is not opinion , is a fact. Nothing of new blizzard games can go near to what Diablo was on its release , what WoW was on its release ( still is ) , Warcraft series were on their initial release and original Starcraft was on its release. We are talking about legends not out of popularity alone ( because someone can tell me D3 is as popular because of sales ) but r/evolution on their respective genres. Thats not an opinion.

Everything else you might call it whatever you want , i dont care.

@AzatiS: It is a fact that Blizzard revolutionized the MOBA industry with its team base focus hit Heroes of the Storm that was not only accessible, but deep at the same time.
