It may be a bit overhyped but it is not unsatisfying.
I mean hes entitled to his own opinion if he doesn't like it he doesn't like it, but I was expecting some decent talking points.
Totally no bias here :smile:
The visual design and characters are absolutely fantastic, but I don't think it's the best game of all time and not the most innovative.
It's fun and solid.
So he outright says its his personal opinion and that he's not bashing the game for being a bad game but he makes a clickbait title like that?
"It's popular because it's Blizzard"
Both I and many other people aren't anywhere near the Blizzard fanwagon and I loved every minute of the beta. The game is so well received at least from my perspective because it's very well made.
Not all games have to be super inventive and 100% original and this is a primary example it takes the best elements of current trends and solidifies them.
God damn that channel, has hd in the name, click baity title, has more shit like calling doom repetitive, 1080p in a bunch of titles, having a god damn ad on the fucking time. This shit is fucking annoying.
And not saying this since he shat on Overwatch or Doom, etc i don't own either, and my pc shit itself on doom sincee of issues with gtx 760 (gameshared) nor do i really care about blizzards games.
So he doesn't find it fun. I came here expecting him to bring up points and flaws but really, it's just him saying that it doesn't appeal to him as much. And that's fine, but it didn't need a video made for it. The moment I heard him saying "a lot of you are gonna come in fuming and dislike the video before watching it yadda yadda" I knew that this video didn't hold much promise for worthwhile content.
So yeah this is probably just him trying to garner views by being "controversial".
What an excellent video that has completely changed my opinion of Overwatch.
That's one hell of a clickbait title for an opinion video without any good arguements aside from 'it doesn't appeal to me'.
Rake in dem views.
Almost mad at myself for even watching it. :v:
Pff is he implying Uncharted 4 multiplayer is good? lol
I played the Overwatch Beta and I loved it for sure it was satisfying, but I'm too cheap with money so I'd rather rely on giveaways to get it.
Not his thing I don't get it why does he feel the need to make a video on that, at least there's no "you like Blizzard therefore you're pretending to like this game" going on. Also footage, and his problem with the design, he's playing badly and he's playing on console. I think seems to come down to it not being his thing and him being bad and for some reason thinking "game is not good" rather than "I should get better.
Then there's ignoring the context around this game, because games do not exist in a bubble, the year long hype train where the media had access but we did not, the slew of terrible and uninspired FPSes, and this game basically marking a revolution in the genre as Lawbreakers and games of that ilk head our way, the fact that this is the first thing of note Blizzard have released in years. Yeah... it's more than just 'an ok game' but whatever, that's neither here nor there when it comes to the game itself.
When it does come to the game itself, play it well or play it well on PC, or maybe just don't because it clearly isn't your kind of game. Moaning about it not being your thing is kinda like moaning about water for being too wet.
its a nice casual game. I'd say it rode a bit of the blizzard/waifu hype train but that certainly isnt the sole reason people are enjoying it, people are enjoying it because its fun, and its probably not that unsatisfying to anyone playing it now. overrated? for sure. simply because of people saying its the next big esport, the goty, the tf2 killer, the moba killer, whatever, but people say that about any big title coming up. overwatch is something unique and different from what we've been seeing for a while, and thats really why people enjoy it, not because they're a bunch of blizzard shills. will it be good in a year or two? doubtful. will it have the same amount of hype attached to it a month or two from now? maybe. who can tell, with blizzard erratic and dodgy balancing and content adding in their games. but its certainly not a bad game by any stretch, especially for 40$. for 60, yea, it probably would be treated a lot worse.

Honestly I think I'm having so much fun with overwatch right now because it's a lot like how TF2 was before it added all the extra weapons, but at the same time not having the same issue of stalemates that TF2 had.
[QUOTE=spekter;50463937]"It's popular because it's Blizzard"[/QUOTE]
Have to also disagree here like you did.
The only other (recent) Blizzard game I touched was Diablo III to coop with a friend. And I only tried Overwatch because a friend let me in on the [I]free[/I] open beta with one of those 2-days early codes.
Just like others said, it's that fun class-based muckabout feeling Team Fortress 2 had before Valve suplexed it into the dirt.
i don't like overwatch, i feel its visual style is too cartoony
Oh god this guy is gonna be the new Worth A Buy, isn't he?
I'd like overwatch a lot more if they did something about the 20 tick servers already
[QUOTE=ragin cajun;50464150]I'd like overwatch a lot more if they did something about the 20 tick servers already[/QUOTE]
already? theres no way blizzard is going to upgrade to 60 tick. your only hope is with competitive servers having 60 tick, but even that is pretty low. not to mention they most likely wont have any lan or custom servers for the game.
I have to agree, I see the gameplay and it's just, eh, there's nothing that strikes me as interesting or unique about it, nothing about it holds my attention, like woo heroes with unique abilities and ultimates, whoopdy doo.
I just don't understand the hype or popularity, nothing I see are things I haven't seen before, and the way they function and are presented in this game does look special or interesting to me in the slightest.

Ok so its just not your cup of tea, thats fine. As long as you don't try to shut people down for liking the game you are entitled to that.
He's level 4, what knowledge of the game could he possibly posses?

This is a case of "You gotta play for yourself"
I saw a bunch of gameplay videos and thought it looked nice, but it wasnt worth my time. Then I got invited into the beta by a friend and I was sold.

Exactly this. I thought I was going to hate it at first even with my TF2 background, but instead I fell in love with it.

I guess the video title "I Don't Like Overwatch" wouldn't get as many views :v:
I liked the overwatch beta and had fun with it but I do kind of get his point about not feeling satisfied with winning a game. I don't know if its just because all of the games I played were a steamroll one way or the other, but winning or losing didn't feel like it mattered to me, and there wasn't really much tension because of it.
That said I found the different classes extremely satisfying to use (I played as tracer, edgelord, pharah, gorilla, junkrat, hanzo, bastion, roadhog and a bit of mccree), although I think some ultimates are kind of poorly designed and a couple of the maps weren't that great.
I'd definitely buy it if it didn't cost $70 over here.
yeah I've noticed that very few people say "gg" after losing a game like that's basic sportsmanship. like even me, when i lose a match it tilts me a little for some reason compared to other games and i have no idea why. it doesnt matter if it's a steamroll or a close game.
this is turning out to be the mario kart of fps games

You're entitled to your opinion, but that seems like a poor reason not to like a game. Also you have 800 hours in TF2.
Seems like he doesn't like Doom much either.

I really hate that whole "it's popular because Blizzard thing" it's just such a dick move to tell somebody what their own opinion is. Also tbh I think Overwatch is inventive, it sure is the first game in the "hero shooter" genre to actually release and actually be good.
as someone who played A LOT of tf2 years ago and trying overwatch in the beta it was pretty underwhelming.
