    Overwatch

    For those of you who don't know, Overwatch is a team based FPS (think of TF2) made by Blizzard that releases tomorrow. For those of you who know what it is (or now know), who is getting Overwatch? I played the open beta and really enjoyed it a ton! I mostly played the the Assault game mode, but loved the variety in the characters.

    I'll probably be getting it, just not for a couple months.
    What are you getting it on Rudy?

    Re: Overwatch

    I am SUPER excited for Overwatch. Word is on the streets (and by streets, I mean probably reddit or something) that the servers go live at 7pm EST tonight for those who have already received their copies of the game. Blizzard made an extra effort to get the games in on time by releasing the discs a day early (23rd, today) and then bringing the servers up later. I ordered mine late on Saturday, so I'm not expecting it come in until sometime tomorrow.

    As far as the game itself goes, I did get to play the open beta and it was AWESOME. I think it's the most team-centric 'team based FPS' I've ever seen. All of the character combo well with certain other character types, and a lot of skills from different characters combo well together: e.g. Reinhardt's ultimate which stuns groups + Reaper's ultimate which deals tons of short range damage. I was running through the beta with a group of friends, and we were kicking butt and taking names by calling out enemy locations, planning double skill uses, and ensuring that we had a team of balanced characters.

    As for me, I tend to stick to sniper-types, so I naturally gravitated towards Widowmaker and Hanzo. However, I was surprised to learn that I really like playing Lucio too, a support character. I think I'll stick with those as my main 3. A couple of backups include Symmetra, which was surprising as well, and Junkrat, based on the fact that I use Demoman in TF2 and they are very similar.

    I'll be getting in on Xbox 1. If anyone would like to add me and play, my GT is 'Untuxable.' And who knows, you may see some Overwatch community multiplayer days coming soon......

    Re: Overwatch

    I'm a little on the fence as this is the type of game that is much more fun when played with friends, as Untuxable touched on. It is one of those if I can't play with friends, it loses a lot of the appeal, but I must admit I've really enjoyed people streaming it on twitch. If I get it, it will definitely be for the PC.

    I really enjoyed Symmetra. She was great on defense and could be invaluable as an attacker just because of the teleporter. I also enjoyed Hanzo a lot, but he needs some support to really function.

    Re: Overwatch

    I'm definitely getting Overwatch somewhere down the line. Can't at the moment, but I'm not worried because I'm sure it'll have a really long lifespan. My friends showed it to me one day and it looked cool, and then I got to play it at PAX East and it was a lot of fun. Hope everyone that has it now is enjoying it.

    Yeah, I haven't been able to play a shooter on a console for quite awhile. It just doesn't feel right.

    Re: Overwatch

    I got pressured into getting the game as well and am loving it. The team and character based gameplay focus make it seem pretty fresh compared to other shooters I've played recently.

    As far as what characters I've been playing, McCree is probably my most played character. His stun combined with his high damage are crazy. He also seems kind of hard for the other team to counter easily. When I'm not playing him I usually play Lucio, D.va, Roadhog, or Hanzo.

    Speaking of Lucio, since a few of you play him, I just realized his sonic blast does damage as well as knockback. It isn't much, only 25 damage, but you can do a sound blast simultaneously with normal fire and the cooldown is low. When I first started playing Lucio I didn't use it at all, but I've been finding more and more uses for it, like how if you knock back Reaper with it he can't really get close enough to kill you faster than you heal.
