Overwatch is much, much too expensive.

Is it trolling to say I feel it might be a tad overrated?



Because I feel it's a tad overrated. The last time a game released with only multiplayer and no campaign, it was panned for doing so (even though it was promised within two months for free). I feel there might be a bit of Blizzard bias going on.

Don't get me wrong, the game looks fantastic, but it doesn't seem like it brings anything revolutionary to the table. It's just a fresher, Blizzard-ier Team Fortress with Pixar-y animation (which you don't really get to ever see any of your own animations due to the whole First Person thing). SFV was a solid fighter with great animation and pseudo-free DLC (you could earn it or buy it), but sorry- no story, so it's clearly a mediocore game.

I guess I just don't understand. Eh. On topic, yeah, $60 is too expensive. But so is $40 for an FPS Moba. I'd pay $15, tops.

I dunno, I don't really think it's trolling, I mean I find the hype for UC4 to be overrated and bloated. When I look at Overwatch I see a version of TF2 done right unlike what Brink once tried some eyars ago, that and it;s generated some memes out of it, albiet old ones (just like the TF2 type look).

I honestly see nothing wrong with MP only games since they have managed to stand on their own legs since their inception, it's really the bad ones, the ones that absolutely don't have anything going for them nor trying to get anything going, those are the MP games that are destined to fail. The games that do get MP right have followings that span for years like TF2 and CS, Planetside and Planetside 2.

I don't really get why it has to do something new though considering a lot of game ideas and designs have borrowed heavily from one another, just look at what the Souls franchise managed to heavily influence over a few short years, lots of heavy borrowing from that series alone and it greatly stands out without those other devs having to bring huge changes of any sort to the table, Souls fans love souls games, just like how I loved TF2 and I love Overwatch.

Isn't the new R&C a retooling of the original game but is also very pixar esque?, a retooling isn't exactly bringing massive changes to the table as much as say an entirely completely new and different R&C title.

There is always going to be fan bias for all sorts of games, just like on here for R&C and UC4, look at the absolute gushing that has exploded over the past few weeks compared to the two OW threads with one complaining about the price point and the other just updating review numbers.

 

Also OW isn't an FPS Moba, just letting ye know.

I'm not really sold on the Uncharted for Ratchet series. I'd rather have more inFAMOUS. And I'm not saying Overwatch is a bad game... Just pretty overrated. I mean, it looks great. But I don't feel a game that can only be played with others really earned a 90+ on Metacritic when games from genres that are defined by ONLY being multiplayer (like fighting) are given negative points for being only multiplayer. Just a bit of double standards.

 

And I had only heard a few people describe it as an FPS Moba. I just figured that was the new "thing" to refer to it as.
