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

I think it would be really cool if the game had a competitive moba-style draft mode.

I'm sure that they'll add more gamemodes

The [url=http://orcz.com/Overwatch]Overwatch Wiki[/url] has been updated with the health values for all the characters! For those who don't have the patience to check each character page, here are all the health values: [url=http://orcz.com/Overwatch:_Tracer]Tracer[/url] (Offense) = 150 [url=http://orcz.com/Overwatch:_Zenyatta]Zenyatta[/url] (Support) = 150 [url=http://orcz.com/Overwatch:_Pharah]Pharah[/url] (Offense) = 200 [url=http://orcz.com/Overwatch:_Widowmaker]Widowmaker[/url] (Defense) = 200 [url=http://orcz.com/Overwatch:_Hanzo]Hanzo[/url] (Offense) = 200 [url=http://orcz.com/Overwatch:_Symmetra]Symmetra[/url] (Support) = 200 [url=http://orcz.com/Overwatch:_Torbjorn]Torbjörn[/url] (Defense) = 200 [url=http://orcz.com/Overwatch:_Mercy]Mercy[/url] (Support)= 200 [url=http://orcz.com/Overwatch:_Reaper]Reaper[/url] (Offense) = 250 [url=http://orcz.com/Overwatch:_Bastion]Bastion[/url] (Defense) = 250 [url=http://orcz.com/Overwatch:_Winston]Winston[/url] (Tank) = 500 [url=http://orcz.com/Overwatch:_Reinhardt]Reinhardt[/url] (Tank) = 600

Symmetra looks underpowered. Her turrets die in like 2 shots. Well then again since they're on a short cooldown I guess she can reset them whenever she wants.

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;46482188]Symmetra looks underpowered. Her turrets die in like 2 shots. Well then again since they're on a short cooldown I guess she can reset them whenever she wants.[/QUOTE] The idea is probably to put a bunch of them in the same location.

[QUOTE=earthdefence;46481639] -snip- [/QUOTE] Dude, it's been like two years and you still try to promote that site every chance you get. You've made like 10 half assed threads and megathreads for different games already just for it. Pushing it on people constantly is not the way to go, specially when it's mostly a photo gallery and lacks any info you can find anywhere else.

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;46482188]Symmetra looks underpowered. Her turrets die in like 2 shots. Well then again since they're on a short cooldown I guess she can reset them whenever she wants.[/QUOTE] also she has the teleporter and will be teleporting everyone to the battlefield

[url=http://kotaku.com/blizzard-admits-to-over-sexualizing-women-trying-to-do-1656383872]Well, it seems Kotaku may be trying to be a bit sensationalist again. The article is somewhat well written, but ho-boy, they could have used a better image.[/url]

"Hey guys they published an article that supports what we're fighting for" "Nah let's put in pastebin anyway" You're an idiot. EDIT: I don't want to derail this thread though so I'll ask something. Have we recieved any information on the unannounced characters in the promos for the game yet? I've been out of the loop in that regard.

Supporting Kotaku, nah.

I'm reading the Kotaku article and from the gist of it they don't want all the women to be slim and curvy I guess? Well I can't really see an obese woman doing what either Widow or Tracer can do. I doubt Mercy's wings would be able to hold up as well either.

Please don't bring your gamergate shit into this thread.

[QUOTE=The Stills;46484913]Please don't bring your gamergate shit into this thread.[/QUOTE] wasn't, I was just putting the article in pastebin for those who appreciate it.

Unless of course its a fictional video game. Which it is. [editline]13th November 2014[/editline] And even though Pharah is decked out in full power armor, she is still super slim. I don't think that's a bad thing mind you so I'm not going to call Blizz out on it, but It'd be nice to see some non-idealized variety. Hell I'd like to see it in more games in general.

This game reminds me of loadout, smnc, and tf2. I can't wait to play it, holy shit.

When i'm playing a game i'm not going around complaining about how there aren't enough Japanese dudes running around, i'm playing the fucking game. I struggle with understanding why anyone would strive to feel validated by playing a video game. Not to mention obese people wanting to see obese characters in games where you [b]run[/b] and do other [b]athletic[/b] activities would be like me complaining about how there are no Asians in The Witcher.

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;46482188]Symmetra looks underpowered. Her turrets die in like 2 shots. Well then again since they're on a short cooldown I guess she can reset them whenever she wants.[/QUOTE] From what I can remember people who played the game pretty much agree she is one of the most vital/borderline OP classes. Also Zenyatta's health orbs look really strong from that vid linked earlier

[QUOTE=earthdefence;46481639]The [url=http://orcz.com/Overwatch]Overwatch Wiki[/url] has been updated with the health values for all the characters! [snipped the rest of the post][/QUOTE] Dude, quit constantly spamming links to orcz.com. It's a terrible website that's literally always outclassed by specialized wikis for each game. I don't get why you're constantly posting it in every thread for every game on the forums. Just look at the fucking main page for Overwatch: [QUOTE]Welcome to the Overwatch Wiki @ Orcz! [B]Battle born[/B] is a 6v6 team/based FPS/[B]MOBA [/B]developed by Blizzard Entertainment [B]It is Blizzard's version of Valve's TF2 (Team Fortress 2)[/B] This Overwatch Wiki is a resource maintained and edited by the community. Please help contribute to the wiki! [/QUOTE] The most egregious bits have been bolded for your convenience. If you want a decent wiki for Overwatch, [URL="http://overwatch.gamepedia.com/Overwatch_Wiki"]this one[/URL] is a lot more organized and better looking, with higher quality images that don't have an obnoxious watermark, and also more info for each character. It also has pages for individual maps, gamemodes, and mechanics. Also it calls the game Overwatch instead of Battle born (which isn't even a fucking Blizzard game?)

I'm glad those fat fuckers didn't ruin those games or this one, am I right?

For real? The Heavy is your idea of obese? Putting me on blast here like i'm calling D-Lineman obese for being larger than my skinny ass. There is a difference between 'big motherfucker' and 'fucking fat'. You think these people are asking for bear-mode when they're actually asking for Newman, just to justify their Cheeto lust. I'm all for being fat if it makes you happy, fucking go ahead there are worse things you could be doing, but don't push that shit on characters where it would make no sense for them to be abnormally large.

nobody with a head on their shoulders cares about the weight of game characters please stop discussing it

i think presenting different bodytypes in media makes everything much nicer. body positive stuff and all that

-snip, not worth it-

Stop.

[QUOTE=nnanna;46487188]i think presenting different bodytypes in media makes everything much nicer. body positive stuff and all that[/QUOTE] I think TF2 presents it very well. We have characters that have Slim-Body , Decent-Body , Muscular-Body and Fat-Body. Variety at finest.

All of the dudes have distinctly different details and designs, while out of the 5 chicks, only one of them is wearing actual armor and not something revealing and/or skintight. I dunno about the robots. Do they even have a gender?
