Blizzard is releasing a new game soon. It’s an instanced team-based PvP FPS called Overwatch.
There is some amount of hype regarding the pending release.
Discuss.
anyone else hyped?

what so special about the game to be hyped about it? Looks quite mediocre

It’s by Blizzard, and practically anything they touch is wildly successful. Star Craft, World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, etc., etc. It’s got a load of interesting mechanics, and a considerable community before it’s even been released.
Diablo II ftw … omg Qa… that cake in your signature
Hyped cuz it looks like the now dead Super Monday Night Combat. Unhyped because it won’t be as good, it just can’t since it’s lacking the same freedom of movement.
Played Beta. So so for me.
It looks… strange

I loved SMNC…though I was terrible at it. Got about 70 hours out of that game.
Don’t get hyped for games nowadays because either they cost $60 and have $500 of DLC’s or won’t run on my PC.
I think it looks awesome. Of course, there are some op roles, but if they get fixed in time, then why not. Its almost like a hybrid between modern fps like ranbow six siege but in arena-like enviroment. Maybe a little touch of Paragon (that game is in beta (mabe alpha dk) too). And as always this blizzard touch that you can’t see anywhere else. Structures polished like in the me catalyst…

Want some? Go get it in T5 :snowgirl:
I played the beta. It is a team game, and it was fun. 
I’ll buy it. I like the way how the game suggest you the class what the team needs atm. We could use that function in SC as well.

definitely.
i think i am not in the correct target audience for this game
its quite a day for blizz, they havent finished a fps before this tho.
also, its a long time since they opened a new lore.
i do think however, SC has evolved more over time into its class and role system, much like eve, while overwatch has basicly pre-designed class systems the characters have been balanced “into”.
it’s easier to suggest which class you need, if the choice is so obvious; in SC the actually needed class for a certain game can vary very much on which players, which gamemode, which enemy.
while i can definitely say: you need at least an engi…, it would be wiser for SC to propose the choice of ships while you build your deck.
suggesting softly a ship for support, a ship usable as captain, a ship usable for objectives, or ships usable to deal damage. Finding the correct way of offering help to understand the class/role choice is definitely nice, but i dont think, it could be just the same what i mean 
I love the game!
The only thing is that it lacks the content needed to keep people playing for long times, there are only skins and stuff like that
I’m definitely gonna play mainly Genji, and probably McCree. I absolutely love the style of Genji, it mixes Sci-fi and ninjas, you basically play a tenno from Warframe. McCree is another very cool character, a renegade with a revolver that he fan-fires.
What are you favorite characters?
Mei and Zarya seem really cool. They’re both tanks, but are pretty flexible between being able to support and carry. I think Tracer would be nice to play, but it looks so hard to wrap your head around exactly where you are at all times.
Bastion looks like a cheese machine. I’d compare him to star conflict’s destroyers, to be honest, what with ridiculous dps and low mobility. Although thank god he doesn’t have a teleport…
And Lucio is pretty cool for a support. He’s kinda like a command, what with AOE buffs to speed or health regen (okay, not a perfect relationship), and an ult that gives gigantic shields for a little bit.
As to the prompt to players suggesting what characters to bring, I dunno if it’s particularly applicable to star conflict, since each player only has four ships, and each one can be fit in so many different ways, whereas each hero in Overwatch is always available to be taken, and always has the same abilities.
Winston is amazing 
Winston is amazing
hahahah that dude is awesome
Instead of buying the Overwatch, try the Dirty Bomb. Thats a bit similar to the OW, but its F2P and the graphics are less childish. It worth a try.
DB had serious balance issues last time I played it:
They had just released Phantom and his cloak essentially allowed him to tank better than Rhino. He could simply walk up to people and slash them with a katana - no stealth play needed.
Proxy could offensively minelay.
Airstrikes could be spammed willy-nilly.
And let’s not talk about how the Crotzni was superior to literally every other SMG out there.
I hope they at least addressed these issues.
