 So, as most people know- Blizzard is releasing it's first new IP in a long time, Overwatch! What do you think of the game? Love it? Hate it? Will you buy it when it's out? |

I haven't played it a lot, but I liked what I saw. As you know, I have issues with some of the alts being a little OP, and I wish the respawn points were a little closer to the action. But I have very few major complaints. It's easy to pick up, the combat is fast and smooth and intense, I like the art direction, I like the diversity of the characters and their abilities (it's Street Fighter with guns basically), and I like how the game runs like cream @ ultra crazy settings, which is always worth mentioning in these days of bad PC ports.
No. It's a good game, but it's not £47 good imo. But if arena shooters are totally someone's thing, this might be what they're looking for.

Haven't played it yet, but Widowmaker looks amazing. Oh, and Reaper too.

Haven't played it yet, but Widowmaker looks amazing. She's very fun- I get alot of killstreaks on her  I also recommend Mercy and Tracer. |

I've played it and its amazing. So many different classes with their own abilities. IMO it's better than Team Fortress 2, and I've played that game for near 800 hours.
I mainly play as Soldier 76 as he's the easiest to play as and plays most similarly to CS:GO.

Agree- I've played 1196 hours of TF2 since December 2011  I still love TF2, I think the games can co-exist as they are different; as Overwatch is more casual but at the same time has more depth in terms of its gameplay- TF2 is very much just switch your weapon depending on the situation. I think TF2 is far more difficult imo but it taught me a lot of skills that can carry over to Overwatch. And I hate Soilder 76's ult so much I'm glad that he's not up on the opposite team often- but if he is I can just pick someone like Mercy. |

 What a nightmare to fight against 6 Reapers. This game was really close, though. |

 6 heroes for Attack role.  6 heroes for defense role.  5 heroes for tank role, and  4 heroes for support role. Maybe more heroes in the future? |

Ew Your team had 4 Mcrees though  Avengium Blizzard are adding more heroes as the game goes on yeah I think more supports are needed- Mercy is my favorite out of all of them but there should be more diversity. Im playing Dva right now- really fun tank with a cool backstory (ex starcraft pro player drafted into the south korean army) plus her pistol is good when you eject your mech |

What are your guys' opinion on the Tracer butt pose that sparked some controversy a month back?  Personally, I don't really have an opinion, but I understand why some don't like it. |

Presumably "some" refers to the ultra feminist movement, who won't be happy until every trace of female attractiveness in games is basically against the law, even if said game has multiple female characters with varying body types and personalities, and who all kick just as much ass as the guys? Sorry if I'm way off base, I don't pay a lot of attention to these things. |
