yugo657 450 Report post Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) So I've been playing the Overwatch beta all day yesterday and today. I'm loving it. Anyone else have the chance to play it? What are your thoughts? Game's out: it's freakin' great! Edited June 6, 2016 by yugo657 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hatty Hominid 60 Report post Posted May 4, 2016 I've been playing it a lot recently. It is by far one of the most fun and diverse games I have ever played. All characters feel unique and are REALLY fun to play! Whether I'm blasting off as Junkrat or running fast with Lucio, I always have a good time!

Chris 1,206 Report post Posted May 5, 2016 I just played a few games of the open beta and I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised. I haven't been following this game at all so jumping in blind was a fun experience. There's loads of playstyles and characters to try out and loads of stuff to see/unlock. Also the game's art style is very nice to look at.Although I don't have any plans to pick the full game up at launch, Overwatch has definitely piqued my interest and I look forward to seeing what becomes of it.

Vinchenzo 297 Report post Posted May 7, 2016 I really like the game so far, my favorite character to play is D.Va, she has funny video game references and taunts. my only gripe about her is that she doesn't do as much damage as other tanks, or as much as her little video showing her damaging her opponent with she uses her guns. But still, she is really great for helping capture objectives/ make enemies scatter from an area, and can push enemies back with her thruster ability. My other favorite is Mercy, she is really good at healing. Maybe even the best? If you use her and the big robot guy, (His name escapes my tongue) they pack a pretty heavy punch if you use her ability to buff other teammates attacks. Her ultimate ability can also definitely turn the tide by reviving dead teammates. The only gripe that I have with the game so far is when the enemy team is losing, they all seem to switch to tracer and come back from the deficit. I'm not saying that tracer is OP, but IMO they should limit how many players can choose the same character. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
True213 253 Report post Posted May 9, 2016 I like it. ... Yeah's that's my verdict on the game. Nothing more. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris 1,206 Report post Posted May 10, 2016 I recorded one of my favourite kills of mine from my first online game of the beta. It doesn't look that amazing playing it back, but at the time beating that other Reinhardt felt so satisfying. Anyone else have any moments like this from the beta? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hooking people and just screwing their ults/escapes just feels so satisfying. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinchenzo 297 Report post Posted May 10, 2016 Anyone else have any moments like this from the beta? Quite a few POTG with Junkrat, he is definitely my favorite character to play offense with. His mine can propel him to reach heights not reachable by most characters besides Widow, Hanzo,Pharah, and Genji. Also a great finisher when opponents try to escape around corners. His traps are really great for Reinhardt, I often find Reinhardts trying to rush me with their ability, or enemies I lure into it around corners. His grenade launcher is superb, and if you get really good at projecting them where the enemy is going to strafe, it's insane. It can easily kill most of the roster with 2-3 shots. I can't wait for the game to release 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoldenGhost 2,058 Report post Posted May 29, 2016 Figured I could fix this up now that the beta is over. So now that Overwatch is officially out, who here has been playing it? What platform? Favorite/least-favorite heroes? I've been playing it on PC, only a little bit so far though. Genji and Zenyatta are pretty cool, although I might explore some other characters to avoid sticking to just one or two. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been really enjoying pretty much every character besides Bastion and Symmetra. All the game lacks right now is the number of maps, but I know that that'll come pretty soon.

Bloob 585 Report post Posted May 31, 2016 This is the first game I've purchased in a long while, and I'm glad I did. It reminds me of Team Fortress 2 when Team Fortress 2 was actually good Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yugo657 450 Report post Posted May 31, 2016 Oh god nooooooo The character I use the least (Symmetra) is the one that gets a Legendary drop. Please kill me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinchenzo 297 Report post Posted June 5, 2016 This game... needs cross-platform play... The only problem is how hard kb+m players would destroy controller users. While this is true (inb4 213) I'm sure he meant between xbox one and ps4 players. I could see that being a possibility, but who knows how much it costs to do that, and if blizz wants to entertain the idea? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Hatty 1,808 Report post Posted June 8, 2016 I love this game, one of the best games I've played in a long, long time. Very fun. Those that know me way well will not be surprised I mainly play healers. Top 3 characters are Zenyatta - 6 hours Mercy - 4 hours D.Va - 3 hours I also play a mean Junkrat or Widowmaker from time to time. Game is great, have just over 20 hours clocked, which is insane considering I only have 24 hours clocked in Awesomenauts and I've had that game for years. I would recommend this game to literally anybody except those who physically can't play first person shooters. If they ever add cross-platform play then you can find me tearin' it up over at the Xbox One side of things Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
