i Still Like overwatch

[Magurp244]

Seems those Overwatch meme's are causing some facinating cultural existentialism [source]. Some Russians are apparently having difficulty reconciling the opposing concepts of Zarya being both a Patriot and potentially Gay.

[Cobralad]

they probably dont have difficulty reconciling american made character who is based on cold war era american stereotype.

if there was overwatch movie, she would be 100% played by some grunting austrian.

Wow, that blade horns knight with a collar and exposed arms dude is a thing. Hard to beleive how disjointed all the elements on him look.

i just googled the guy and his name is mother fucking ANDROXUS

wow

So... thoughts on Ana?





It's a very different way to play, I'm pretty excited to try it out.

looks like pc culture win

A healing sniper seems like an interesting idea, curious to see how that plays out in game. Not sure about that tranq ability though, if Mei's anything to go by it could end up as a new kind of fresh hell for players.

my final overwatch review: 'what if there was tf2, except nothing ever happened in it'

[JWK5]

Overwatch is having a "free weekend", meaning anyone can download the full game for free (PC, XBOXOne, PS4) and play it for the duration of the weekend. After the weekend you'll still need to buy it to keep playing, but all your progress will carry over from the free weekend.

My wife and I have been playing the hell out of it for the PS4, I got it shortly after it first came out and I am happy to see how much Blizzard has been improving on it and adding new content without making it paid DLC and whatnot.

They just added a 3v3 elimination match where once you die you are out until one team or the other is completely eliminated. It immediately became the most popular mode (at least on the PS4) to the extent that everyone pretty much jumped out of the objective-based season competitive rankings to play it. There is a good reason for that, though, as it somehow hits the sweet spot of the character-based gameplay and comes of feeling along the lines of a balanced out Marvel vs Capcom 3 in FPS format. The characters really mesh well with this mode and the matches are fast and frequent, usually lasting about 5-8 minutes a piece (counting the entire best 3 out of 5 round). It is an absolute blast that made a good game better.

I like to play support/defensive roles usually so in the game I tend to main the snipers (Black Widow and Ana) or Mei or Symmetra for defense, but Sombra is quickly becoming another favorite as I can provide stealth support with her.

I can't speak for the PC or XBOXOne, but on the PS4 at least that is not the case at all. The matches are almost consistently tight and tactical with great pacing (more so with the newly added arcade modes, especially with the elimination 3v3). Prior to the last update finding matches was no problem, but after this last update (which added the elimination 3v3) pretty much everyone jumped out of every other mode to play e3v3 so right now it is slim pickings outside it. I don't have a problem with that myself, because the e3v3 is perfect and probably the most fun I've had in a FPS since GoldenEye/Perfect Dark or Quake 3/Unreal Tournament.

That 3V3 elimination mode sounds like an Overwatch CS:GO hybrid.

I'm gonna try it.

Let me say I am typically bad at FPS games and have had Overwatch for one day.  I was in 3v3 elimination, 5th round- the deciding round- and it was down to me as Pharah vs the other player playing Pharah.  I got a mid-air kill as we were both rocketing upwards.  It was pretty good.
