So any one thinking of getting it?

[ECA]

Nope. £45 to buy in now, and dodgy statements about the pay to unlock heroes in the future ( ie 100% gauranteed but they don't wanna get evolved ).

tldr, evolve by blizzard.

 

[Embattle]

I'll go for the £30 version myself if I do go for it.

I've been playing for a few days and it's really quite a lot of fun

GMG OFF20 20% discount on digital delux edition, £31..

 

[BloodOmen]

Aye its quite fun, some of the characters need some tuning though, some of them are just really overpowered where as others are weak as a noodle.

 

[Embattle]

It is good but it suffers what most games that you can play on public servers, brain dead players

[BloodOmen]

Having tried it properly now I can safely say I will not be buying it. Far too many characters that just cater to mongoloids who want to hold the left mouse button down.

The things that make it fun also make it very annoying at times.

Indeed, put up with spam for years, especially during Quake/Quake3 but Overwatch is just a whole other level of spam fest

 

[Embattle]

Hmm it is a tough one, it is tempting but I've so many games I've bought but still not played.

 

[Embattle]

So who has it pre-ordered?

 

[Moriath]

Not i.

 

[BloodOmen]

So who has it pre-ordered?

Still really on the fence about it, on the one hand I really did enjoy the beta but on the other hand I still think some of the characters are imbalanced as fuck. If I do pre-order it, it'll probably be a last minute purchase, servers go live on the 23rd.

 

[Embattle]

I'm in much the same mind.

 

[BloodOmen]

I bought it, I weighed up the pros and cons and the pros did outweigh the cons, balance will always be an issue and I'm sure it will piss me off but meh.

 

[Embattle]

Yeah I figured it was worth it, it is nice to dabble in it sometimes.

 

[BloodOmen]

Servers are literally melting, Blizzard expected 4,000,000 players at launch apparently, instead they got 8,200,000

That's just because Doom multiplayer is so shit

 

[BloodOmen]

That's just because Doom multiplayer is so shit

Pretty much ;p Doom MP is not even Doom tbh, it's call of duty mixed with some other generation modern shooter.

 

[Embattle]

I haven't been well enough to play yet

Overwatch in a nutshell

 

[chipper]

love it tbh its like heroes of the storm meets TF2 and had a secret lovechild! some ultimate's are pretty insane some are crap but i think the ones with the crap ultis tend to have pretty decent main abilities which kinda offsets it some chars rely just about solely on there ulti to unleash hell, love pharah and junkrat, pharah ulti is pretty shit unless you catch a team completely off guard and that's less and less likely to happen the higher you level, junkrat tho is obscene that ulti is a complete team wiper experience if you land it right!

 

[BloodOmen]

Yea, it's fun, I just can't take it too seriously as a competitive shooter though, so many i-win buttons stop it from being a competitive shooter.

 

[chipper]

got BF 1 for competitive this is just fun

 

[chipper]

MOTHERFUCKING MEI I FUCKING HATE HER!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BloodOmen]

MOTHERFUCKING MEI I FUCKING HATE HER!!!!!!!!!!!

[Moriath]

[ECA]

The servers are 20 tick.
