Blizzard Overwatch

Every game since Orcs and Humans COME ON BLIZZARD.

Not sure, but they did more opt-in waves today. They will be doing stress test weekends as well, so maybe more people can at least play then.

Kind of sort of related note, I am in the Battleborn closed beta. Despite the similarities the actual scope and pace of the game is pretty different

Same, if you want to add me, same name as my SRK handle. Itā€™s way more of a MOBA structure, so itā€™s really different. Iā€™m actually starting to like it now, finding out some of the early counter pick stuff. They need to stop with the NDA shit. Not only did they release it smack into Overwatch hype, but theyā€™re not gonna let people show content? Shooting themselves in the foot, MAD PEOPLE are tight that they didnā€™t get into Overwatch, and theyā€™d probably bump this gameā€™s profile if they could stream.

In related news, people are renting out their Blizzard accounts for like, 30 bucks an HOUR, or outright selling them for 500 or more.

Will do when I get a chance.

Right now I actually enjoy the PVE more than the PVP, which seems like it mostly comes down to swarming the other team. Given the MOBA-ishness of the set up I think it can be more than that, but if there is a higher level of play the NDA keeps me from seeing it in action.

Now that game looks more up my alley. I like the Gearbox art style and the TF2 vibe of it. In fact, Iā€™d say Iā€™m anticipating that game more than Overwatch depending on how the characters feel from one another and the overall balance so weā€™ll see.

What platform you folks plan on playing on? Iā€™m going back and forth between PC and PS4.

Maybe PS4/PC for me. Either way SE for at least one of those.

Happy to see it is console bound, the hype guys.

Getting PC, definitely pre ordering the origins edition tonight.

Iā€™m laughing at people getting mad at Overwatch not being free to play without thinking what kind of awful business model being free to play entails for this game.

Funny, I got first wave beta access to Hearthstone and I donā€™t really play itā€¦ but the one game I wanna playā€¦

I think itā€™ll ultimately depend on the aim assist and ability to group on console. Destiny found a pretty good balance with their aim assist where it doesnā€™t feel like your crosshairs are fighting against you like they often can is some console FPS titles.

If we let you into betas for FPS games you wouldā€™ve killed Felicity by now.

Sitting at home all last week, with nothing to do
"One more week 'till Fallout 4. Canā€™t wait! Manā€¦ that Overwatch beta could really come in handy nowā€¦ā€œ
One uneventful week later
"Really enjoying the fuck outta Fallout 4!!!ā€
"Huh? Whatā€™s this e-mail say?"
Welcome to the Overwatch closed beta.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKKK!!! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??? NOW UR GIVING ME THIS??? On the same fucking day as Fallout 4???

Well I had no expectations for this gameā€¦ letā€™s see how it does.

To be fair, Overwatch is in beta and is more stable than Fallout 4ā€¦ :V

Iā€™ll take that Overwatch beta, you can enjoy that Fallout 4 in peace lmao

Had no issues with Fallout 4.

Wait, my 1st world problems keep going. Iā€™m off today and was planning on sitting home all day and playing Fallout 4 and Overwatch.
Text from one my girls
"Heeey I made extra food, you want me to pass over and bring you some? insert 10 smiley faces"
Siiiigh, whyā€¦ why now???

Anyways, played 2 games of Overwatch as Reaper, both games got play of the game. Invincible in, ULT, Quadrakill!!! Went back to Fallout 4 after. Itā€™s pretty much what I expected. But ill give it some more tries this coming week. Whatā€™s funny is that the stage loading screen reminds me of Street Fighter stage select.

Its beta test weekend, a huge number of people being invited to stress test the servers

(I got in, make sure to check!)

I guess I get to join the cool kids club just for this weekend.
