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

[QUOTE=Phiron;49015786]As it is currently there aren't actually any keys, blizzard is just tagging accounts with access to the beta. I think they've done this with the last few betas they've done.[/QUOTE] ye my bad, its an old habit i know they flag accounts, keep checking every day, i wonder if they will do some keys eventually though dont feel like giving some random my email/battlenet account name in a contest.

So it seems someone was able to kinda rip a model from the beta: [t]https://40.media.tumblr.com/78f855d1093de28b8ff86c1fa06ad4ea/tumblr_nwyt209Ja11sgb18mo1_1280.jpg[/t]

Gotta admit I was so antihype about this when it first got announced, thinking the ultimate system would make it unbalanced to the point that skill didn't matter anymore. But these recent videos have gotten me kinda hype for it, already liked tracer's concept, and junkrat and that flying missile broad look fun too.

The flying missile broad is the best broad.

I wonder how effective Roadhog's Hook+Face-blank quadra barrel blast is gonna be. If it instakills tracers and atleast severely wounds the tank characters, then he's gonna be my main.

In the end we shall prevail nonetheless once overhyped mortals suffer the bitter taste of the harsh reality of matters.

Does Widowmaker's butt still get bigger for no reason when she aims?

Now ive only been watching streams of STAR_ play and i really like soldier 74, yeah he seems "simple" but i like how straight forward/versatile he is When the game goes live i expect a lot of russians to play roadhog because of DOTA 2 Dendispudge is Mcree op in anyones opinion? I know hes ment to be balanced by a low hp pool and his ultimate is announced out loud but his dmg seems ridiculous zayana also seems really strong

Soldier being the most versatile is no surprise. He's the CoD class and there is a reason CoD designers went for that design. Every encounter is basically pointing and shooting to win, there is no need to do much else. Simple, effective, shallow.

Using it wisely is important as well. Also, if you're gonna use him well, you want to be strategically using those healy things, not just spamming them around or only healing yourself.

Holy shit.

That's kind of awesome actually lol

I like it. It's really clever for them to insert SC2 into their game that way. And it's no more far fetched than having a DJ fighting alongside everyone else.

I'm gonna enjoy convincing people she's a real person.

[QUOTE=Zeos;49017509]Does Widowmaker's butt still get bigger for no reason when she aims?[/QUOTE] Spiders do the same thing iirc.

[QUOTE=coverop;49017921]Blizzard know that some *people* will make smut of that moment :v:[/QUOTE] lol "will" more like "did"

I don't believe you guys. Source your claims.

Was in one of the initial trailers a year ago, forget which. Started working on a sculpture of the samurai guy from the concept art also. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/oomyzMS.gif[/IMG]

Their designs and overall concept are cool, but the actual characters are lame in almost every other aspect.

I hope they never put hats or skins or anything in Everything is so simple now I don't want them to ruin it with bullshit trading and economy stuff

But I need Tracer to wear a bunny for a hat or I will die

If we are comparing overwatch "lore" to say tf2's I'd like to point out that tf2 didn't initially have a story or lore past these character tidbits initially, it wasn't till the engineer update I belive which was when they started doing the story comics So I say we give them time and I'm sure blizzard can come up with a good narrative; I just hope it dosnt become pants on the head retarded like tf2s now with nonsense like die and come back stronger pills or everything happening because soldiers room mate was a wizard...

There are just too many characters to have spontaneously interacting in an interesting way. And then Overwatch has a model where heroes keep popping up like ads on roommate's adware-ridden craptop. It's just impossible to breathe life into every single one.
