Re: Overwatch
Didn't see anything in the beta that made me want to jump on it. I'm sure it's fun but it certainly isn't for me. I guess i have gone off competitive shooters altogether which severely limits gaming choices it seems.
Re: Overwatch
I hated Team Fortress 2 and this is more of the same. I was grateful for the beta because it saved me some money. I'd say this game and Battleborn are the most overrated current gen games since Titanfall.
If it's slower than me, dumber than me and it tastes good ... tough titty.

^ I do agree that some of the reviews coming out are silly; this is a very good, very fun shooter but it doesn't deserve perfect 10s/5s.
Re: Overwatch
I've been playing it a lot on PS4 this week, it's easily one of my favorite game this year.
Blizzard is very good at taking existing genres, refining them just enough to make them feel fresh and also making them easily accessible but with a high skill ceiling.

Re: Overwatch
I'm pretty average at straight-up shooting, but there are a fair few characters that can be used that don't rely on that. Mei for example.

The game doesn't expose kill/death ratios or even telegraph your teams kill count in any sort of leader board during a match. It's a very approachable game.
Re: Overwatch
A few months ago gamers and reviewers were lambasting Star Wars Battlefront for exactly the same cardinal sins that Overwatch commits. Yet somehow Overwatch not only gets a free pass on its lightweight content, we've also got gamers saying the game "feels fresh" despite it having no original gameplay components whatsoever and some reviewers even going so far as to say it redefines the fps genre.Sel Feena wrote:^ I do agree that some of the reviews coming out are silly; this is a very good, very fun shooter but it doesn't deserve perfect 10s/5s.

I really can't take gaming opinion seriously anymore.

Re: Overwatch
The difference is that Star Wars Battlefront is a game light on content and still has a £40 season pass if you want extra maps and stuff. All the extra maps, characters and game modes in Overwatch will be released for free.The Beans wrote:A few months ago gamers and reviewers were lambasting Star Wars Battlefront for exactly the same cardinal sins that Overwatch commits.

Re: Overwatch
^ If Blizz keep to that promise, it'll be great, and there's no reason to think they won't. D3's still getting updates on PS4. There will always be people who'll be willing to fork over cash for cosmetics, and that'll be the least obnoxious way for them to make some additional money.

Need more content. Already bored when there are no friends to play with.

Re: Overwatch
Had not bought a full priced game in years before Overwatch but can safely say I'm loving it so far. I usually hate all that COD sh1t, run, shoot, die, repeat but despite accusations of lack of content, I feel it was worth the £42.99 I spent on it. If you're on PS4, my gamer tag is rankle89 should you want to team up sometime.
