Overwatch - It's Actually a Trick To Make Everyone Play HotS, also BUY - Games

Oh hey, I got paired up with a really bad opponent and won easily. Poor guy

Orisa sitting is adorable.

So did they just... forget that Reaper hasn't gotten a skin in a really long time?

[QUOTE=Grandzeit;52263775]Where the game is slower, you always have an animated character portait on your screen, and your characters don't have a large array of facial animations that play whenever you get hit or use an ability. Your characters also talk much more often. You can either have facial animations tied to your current situation which look more natural for the small duration you'll notice them, or speaking animations that don't convey as much relevant emotion, but allow you to see lips moving in spawn if you stare at someone's face. Having both might not be possible with the engine, and is going to make it look odd when both automatic animations and voice-based animations overlap or interrupt eachother. Not to mention adding lipsyncing and such tied to your current voiceline is a lot more work on its own, which I'd much rather have spent somewhere else. Most of the time when character faces "animate" in HotS, it's just their mouths moving. There's very little effort put into it, and it frankly looks bad. There's a reason Overwatch doesn't already have animations tied to voicelines, and it's certainly not the same amount of effort to do as spawning a sprite when you hit a solid world object.[/QUOTE] This is bullshit, tf2 made expressive facial animations that lipsynced a decade ago and it worked great. Shit, Hl2 did it in 2004. Maybe it's not worth the man-hours but there's no inherent technical reason they couldn't do it.

A lootbox with only event items is a dream that will never hallen

Oh my god Bastion has a voice line where he hums the Overwatch theme Blizzard please my heart can't take how fucking cute Bastion is

I ended up buying a few lootboxes. Ended up getting a [I]shitload[/I] of the new legendaries, which threw me super off guard.

[QUOTE=Zeos;52265164]I ended up buying a few lootboxes.

Every purple I got was currency or dupes. Fuck that shit.

Anyone got a pic of the gun for Zarya's new skin?

[QUOTE=Zeos;52265203][img]http://i.imgur.com/vwQUkDu.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] Oooh that's cool

Aha, nice. Zarya's dance is from the aerobics champion dance thing. It's like the mix of soldier's and Heavy's dance in mannrobics

I want a bastion skin based on starcraft's siege-tank, even taking the form of it when he goes tank form I also want him to whistle "Ride of the Valkyries' as he does it

Two matches of 3v3 lockout and I already hate it It's way too easy to be a cheap cunt and the capture point shouldn't even be a fucking thing in this mode. I would much rather have it be a straight duel to the death instead relying on the point for a cheap win

I'm not entirely happy with how the content is spread, but god damn it's good fuckin content the dance anims sate my hunger for direct references to other media pretty well

Hoping the patch will be datamined, and that doomfist info will be discovered. D.va skin is cute

Is it just me or does matchmaking feel even worse now?

[QUOTE=Dragadur;52265296]Is it just me or does matchmaking feel even worse now?[/QUOTE] It was always bad though

oh fuck off [t]http://i.imgur.com/xFm9n9g.png[/t] my smile and optimism: gone

Zenyatta has the best dance, Symmetra has the best skin imo.

Can hardly believe Overwatch has been out for one year. And only 2 new actual non-event skins to show for it.

These new arcade modes are fucking atrocious, holy hell. Finally, this game that revolves entirely around character switching and counter-picks has a game mode where picks are up to pure luck and the winner is determined by whoever can cheese it out the longest behind a shield. It's the mechanic that was missing from Overwatch all along; random chance and long stretches of hiding. How exciting. It's not even worth it to try for the lootboxes; 1v1 is as much of a joke as it's always been and, while the Lockout mechanic is something that should have been in 3v3 from the beginning, the mode is still only worth playing if you're queued up with friends. [editline]23rd May 2017[/editline] Necropolis is a dope map though, I'll give it that.

A little disappointed there's no new highlight intros. That's always my favorite part.
