Overwatch - The world needs heroes, and Blizzard needs a TF2 game! - Games

[QUOTE=Fox Powers;50222030]I dunno why, but there's something about OW's comics that dont quite click on me like the TF2 comics do[/QUOTE] the tf2 comics and shorts are funny and charming, overwatch's are cliche and hammy

[QUOTE=Fox Powers;50222030]I dunno why, but there's something about OW's comics that dont quite click on me like the TF2 comics do[/QUOTE] Art aside (TF2's used to be [i]much[/i] worse), the writing is kinda dry. The story is also super predictable, but that's not a catastrophe either, Marvel and DC made millions on stories of that caliber. They just had more fun with the character's personalities and eye-popping visuals. Weird that Blizzard's comic artists don't seem to be taking pointers from there while the animation department certainly does.

also by the time the tf2 comics came out we knew the characters well and seeing them in a setting outside of constant murder was interesting

Also the OW comics are like 5 pages.

[QUOTE=Fox Powers;50222030]I dunno why, but there's something about OW's comics that dont quite click on me like the TF2 comics do[/QUOTE] It's the character writing, while this one was better than the McCree comic. Every hero is just that they are a hero with zero motivation aside from doing good things just because they're good, aside from tf2 character motivation (medic to experiment on team mates, heavy to dakka, scout to show off at every opportunity etc)

So, if you preordered Overwatch today do you still get Early access to the open beta?

I hope my games go better in the open beta/full game At the end of the stress test every single game turned into either I play lucio or we lose, he's fun and apparently really powerful but it would also be pretty nice to play a different hero and not lose

Friendly reminder-- today's the last day you can pre-order for early access to the open beta. But most of us have done that already (myself included) or are planning to, so I probably don't [I]need[/I] to say it.

b.net codes are going out for the beta. I just got mine. Sounds like its been going out slowly starting like half an hour ago.

feels so good to be finally downloading this god damned game

Just got mine in the mail. They gave me a key for a friend, and you guys are the only ones I know who could use it, so here ya go. 0254963962281354699145649

I preordered the box version with payment on delivery so I was worried I might not get the beta keys but thanks to you I don't have to. If I do get the keys I'm going to raffle one of them back.

[QUOTE=WearingNothing;50226270]b.net codes are going out for the beta. I just got mine. Sounds like its been going out slowly starting like half an hour ago.[/QUOTE] It seems so. Got mine keys 30 minutes ago too.

If you update battle.net, you'll be able to install, otherwise the damn thing is givin errbody errors.

Anyone with extra key willing to give it to me? I was supposed to pre-order game today before they give out early access keys, but I didn't get paid today. Or is any cdkey store currently selling it for cheap?

The key just gives you the early access right?

[QUOTE=Totenkreuz;50226756]The key just gives you the early access right?[/QUOTE] starts may 3rd

[QUOTE=kestner;50226765]starts may 3rd[/QUOTE] Actually, it starts on May 2nd, 4pm PDT. [url]http://us.battle.net/overwatch/en/blog/20100169/#red[/url]

[QUOTE=kestner;50226765]starts may 3rd[/QUOTE] Anyone got a spare key :)

I still have not received the extra key :what:

If you're using Gmail, make sure you check your promotions tab for your keys. I didn't even realize that tab existed, that's what happens when you don't really use email :trumpet:

It was located in a folder called "All Emails" (Menu's in Turkish so it's the rough translation :v:).

i ordered overwatch from amazon. will it have a cd key? i'm only realizing now my computer doesn't have a cd drive

[QUOTE=mphayes97;50227264]i ordered overwatch from amazon. will it have a cd key? i'm only realizing now my computer doesn't have a cd drive[/QUOTE] Considering how it uses battle.net and all (and hardly any games don't use cd-keys anymore), most likely.

Can I upgrade to Origins Edition after I buy overwatch?

[url]http://us.battle.net/overwatch/en/blog/20100169/#red[/url][/QUOTE] I think that's a typo because the line before it says " Players who have pre-purchased or pre-ordered Overwatch by April 29 will be eligible for early access starting May 3. "

[QUOTE=Mikemaximum;50228493]Can I upgrade to Origins Edition after I buy overwatch?[/QUOTE] yep, you can, at least before it's released

I think 11:59PM was too late to preorder to get the open beta key whoops :v:
