Forums - Gaming - Overwatch Open Beta most played beta so far this generation

Chazore on 12 May 2016

Really had fun with my Beta time, unlike with Battlefront which was rocky and then turned sour come the final release, Lucky for me I won't be getting a bad experience with Overwatch and so far it seems to be a hit all around.

Beta was awesome. I went from no interest in this game to will be buying. Good job Blizzard.

Mostly played it with a team of mates, was very good... playing a few rounds with pugs made me want to not buy it though, maybe because the game was free to play but people just "having fun" and by having fun I mean deliberately not taking part in the game objectives or just trying to actually make it hard for their own team, should hopefully not see that in the release but PUG could really make this LoL levels of unenjoyable to play.

I played 40 hours, all of it with PUG's. I had some bad experiences like you mentioned, but overall my PUG experience wasn't too bad. Ended up with about a 50% win ratio playing with PUG's, that's not bad at all. I feel like people took it more seriously on PC than on XB1, I played the beta on both.

I was just on the PC, didn't have the space on my PS4 to get that Beta, (don't have an X1) But yeah that's the thing with pugs, sometimes they can be golden, everyone picking a good team character to make a winning team, but yeah... sometimes just a game of 4 guys who wanted to play fucking Reinhard or something that just doesn't work as a group.

That's what I meant by the LoL issue though with a free beta, you put a price that on it and you cut out the troll idiots just playing it because their waiting for lives to recharge in candy crush and bronze league is all funned out for the day.

Played the beta on PS4 and I absolutely loved it, had so much fun and I've already preordered the game.

eh, just didn't do it for me. So little content! Would be fine as an F2P game (like the beta effectively was). But as a full priced release? nah, there's just not enough to it.

F2P and you had to buy all the extras? I'd play it definitely. But it seems lacking in content, like you say. Okay so the beta might have left out LOADS but still, go into game, shoot stuff up, win/lose, repeat until you get a box.

The story and characters are fleshed out a lot, beautiful cinematics for a game with no campaign. Weird.

Also, lack of standard editions on consoles bumps the prices up to £40 plus (it's called Origins Edition) instead of £30 (which is available on PC only), a digital £30 standard edition (or disc) would help sales tremendously.

 

I didn't think much of Battleborn, it was very confusing sometimes.



Hmm, pie.

Missed the Battleborn beta but this one actually put me off that as well.

Aye, I think the Beta of that will have a lot of people reinstalling the free to play options out there like Team Fortress 2 and whatnot.
