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

[QUOTE=usaokay;49064764]That's awesome. I can't wait to get into the beta once the game comes out.[/QUOTE] you get beta access when you preorder it dingus

[QUOTE=meppers;49064958]you get beta access when you preorder it dingus[/QUOTE] not immediately. i got Origins and i'm not in the beta yet.

[QUOTE=NoNameForEvil;49065024]So what exactly is D.Va's role? Like, what hole is she even supposed to fill? How does having a D.Va on your team help at all?? From what I saw of her on Muselk's stream, her shotguns do shit-all damage, and her use seems to be limited solely to her shield and her ult, the latter of which leaves her completely vulenerable and pretty useless.[/QUOTE] Overwatch page labels her as tank

The game looks amazing enough to warrant a pre-order from me. Looks like the kind of gameplay I could sink a shit-ton of hours into. And I'm hoping to god it doesn't go the way of Evolve or Titanfall.

Including that with the defense matrix ability, she is supposed to spearhead the enemy line of defense and take a lot of the punishment while your offense heroes back her up and do the firepower bit. I imagine it'd play out that way anyways.

[QUOTE=Takuat;49064841]Didn't datamining reveal stuff like master skins? That'll be mission/progress based probably.[/QUOTE] in hots, you have to play in order to reach the hero level that unlocks the master skin, and only then can you buy it

Though it kinda surprises me the game is like 7-8 months away. From the beta footage it looks just pretty done.

The price tag pushed me out of the hype train like an officer pushes ticketless stowaways out of an actual train.

[QUOTE=booster;49065111]Though it kinda surprises me the game is like 7-8 months away.

[QUOTE=Takuat;49065147]so it's 2-7 months, but they're being vague as shit.[/QUOTE] they're not sure how much longer hyping it through twitch is going to work

Preordered the CE because I'm horrible and irresponsible.

D.VA being a StarCraft pro seems pretty shoe horned in, like it hardly seems relevant to what she's actually doing in the game.

to people who bought the ce release the soundtrack please

[QUOTE=Exooodus;49064991]not immediately. i got Origins and i'm not in the beta yet.[/QUOTE] i meant theoretically, sometime in the future, in order to make you waste money on the fancy edition

[QUOTE=Unique_mask;49065235]D.VA being a StarCraft pro seems pretty shoe horned in, like it hardly seems relevant to what she's actually doing in the game.[/QUOTE] By this logic it doesn't matter that Genji and Hanzo are brothers, or that Soldier 76 used to be the leader of Overwatch. It's just lore bits, don't sweat it.

I don't know why you guys care so much about D.VA voice lines when have an edgy dude yelling stupid crap like "TIME TO REAP" in the same game.

[QUOTE=Spydurr117;49065328]I think it's more or less the fact that they feel the need to self reference like "HEY GUYS YOU KNOW STARCRAFT WE MADE THAT YOU GUYS LOVE IT!"[/QUOTE] I don't see any problem with that at all. It's their game, what's wrong with them using it in their own universe? Such a petty thing to complain about if you ask me.

though some one might want this fro the end of the trailer: [VID]http://fat.gfycat.com/UntimelyGloomyBudgie.webm[/VID] cant pay $40, was hoping it would be ftp bummer

[QUOTE=HappyHead;49065445]I don't know why you guys care so much about D.VA voice lines when have an edgy dude yelling stupid crap like "TIME TO REAP" in the same game.[/QUOTE] You're confused. People, or at least I am complaining about the voice acting, not the lines themselves.

I don't like the fact that the russan character speaks russian with an accent.

Welp, my hype-train has come to a screeching halt. I like how this game looks, but I'm not willing to throw money on it. Atleast not more than 20 bucks.
