ok that Beta might have actually sold me on this. I was having infinitely more fun than playing Halo V which i'm really starting to hate.
When you do something epic, the game actually auto-saves the clip for you and calls it a 'highlight' and even puts epic music, with a voice over by your character, "my mastah-piece!". I got a quad-kill the other night and it made a really cool clip for me which I only had to briefly edit afterwards. Puts an "Overwatch" chaser at the end to sell anyone else on the game. Pretty cool.
i might get it...

Does the game have Dual-Audio? Many of the Japanese voices are enticing.

I do appreciate the TF2 shorts even more than before now after seeing Overwatch's latest one.

Man, the TF2 shorts were genius. Valve is great. Remember the one for the tank? CRY SOME MORE! I had his little speech as my answering machine message for a bit.

I don't think anything will ever beat Meet the Spy
That being said, I do enjoy the Overwatch shorts. They're very well produced and the action scenes are goofy over the top, even if the writing and voice delivery is shit
Ill be buying the game at release. My entire group is buying it and the game has its moments of greatness (plus a lack of anything else to play really). If any of you boys (and mouse) wanna play sometime, just hit me up on steam since the Foxtroting battle.net friend list is seperated over regions and its ass

Eh... the Hanzo/Genji cinematic is okay. The visuals are amazing, the one-liners are decent, and for what Bizzard puts out this is pretty good.
TF2's cinemates are just as cheesy as Overwatch's, but because of its humour TF2 gets to mask a lot of iffy things in their shorts. The Heavy could honestly drone on about his minigun for 60 seconds, but instead the short focuses on a range of positive and negative emotions. Every TF2 short does this in a sense, and it's what makes TF2's characters exemplary. They pop out- they even get to show off these emotions in multiplayer. The demoman has 7 responses for being ubercharged. SEVEN. If he had one response and said "I"ll be all over you like shingles" every time it would be his thing. The shingles guy. Shingles man.
Blizzard, on the other hand, is cheesy because the characters never change their emotion. Take a look at how Genji and Hanzo are always distressed and angry. You see that Mists of Pandaria trailer, how the panda and the orcs were distressed and angry? Diablo 3 trailers? Distress and anger all around. What about Jim Raynor and Kerrigan? You know- those memorable Starcraft characters with how they were always distressed and angry? Remember that joyful moment in Heart of the Swarm where Jim comes back to help Kerrigan after- never mind. We're skipping that. Back to being distressed and angry.
Blizzard is good at making memorable characters, but not making developed characters. They make a character, they assign one emotion to them, and it just so happens to be distress and anger because a lot of Blizzard games are about warfare in a way. It's nice to see more playful characters like Tracer and Junkrat, but they still have only one emotion.

They need to give flashbang a long throw animation so it isn't just an instant "i win" button.

alright moose tell me if these tiers are sorta right, youve been following comp and know more about this sort of game than i do Top tier: - mcree (exdee): 2 outplay buttons for close range, great dmg output at all but extreme long range and a great zoning ult. Mcree (exdee) does alot, if not too much
- lucio: maybe not as top tier in c/d maps, but for koth walking aura man seems mandatory
- winston: monkey is pretty strong for disrupting and seems like a pretty good matchup vs genji in particular. best on koth maps
tier-slightly-below-top-tier:- tracer: annoying
- Mercy: the only other support in the game
- reinhardt: the least flashy you can look while having huge impact
- windowmaker: ruins pace. has a big butt
- genji: annoying, but at least you needs the skilzzz to back it up
Medium Tier- Pharah: rocket man
- Soldier: shitty ult though
- Junkrat: only if you master ammo management
- Zayra: maybe belongs a tier above if only for the ult. has a stupid sounding ult soundbit
- Symmatra: im a teleporter
Medium-rare Tier- Mei: like mcree, with emphasis on annoyingness instead of killing. Unless you have cute plays in mind with the wall, killing seems like the better option
- D.va: does a liiiiittle bit too little dmg to fill as an off-tank
- Reaper: like mcree, except trades outplay buttons for dmg vs tanks
Undercooked Tier:- Bastion: only good for sub-dank reddit memes
- Hanzo: huntsman tier
- Swedish Midget: worse-than-engineer tier
- Zenyatta: a pity

Reaper: like mcree, except trades outplay buttons for dmg vs tanks But Mccree ganks tanks faster and bettor than Reaper though. Just one fan the hammer GG's any tank and you don't even have to hit every shot.

meh i think say a winston popping bubble at the right location and time can actually turn around on mcree where a reaper would click through the bubble and at least force a disengage
mcree is obviously the better hero but i think that particular matchup is the one reaper is better at

ok so the reviews are just too good for this and all my friends are playing so I'm going to pick it up this week I think. Look forward to talking about it with you guys. In the beta, I played the dwarf turret guy with success but I hear he's bottom-tier now after a nerf. I'll need to get caught up. 3055, man is the time-to-kill slow for her. Must be nice not having to aim though

With mccree exdee getting destroyed the meta opened up quite a bit actually. Ive only watched like 5 matches of those weekend tourneys, but I saw Bastions on the offensive side, Tjorborn usage, lots of reaper and soldier 69. then again those were tier 2 eu teams but who cares theres a few characters that are absolute dumpster (Hanzo, Mei, Dva) but the rest seem competitively viable enough and would only need small nudges to be pretty staple picks
right now its probably gonna be a contest between pharah and soldya for who's filling mccrees old spot

Every since the Mccreeee nerf Reaper is much easier to play as the amount of mccrees has significantly decreased which is gr8 for me.
While not being OP at all I do think turret characters(Torb/Robutt) are just anti-fun and are just unnecessary in a game like OW and just slow the pace of the game. I'm not sure what should be done about them though.

i would love to see that, Mousey. This site is the best for that kind of stuffs.
tiesie, you think Tjorborn is competitive? He was my favourite in the beta, but I didn't play around enough with all of them. Pharah and soldya are going to be must-haves, you think? I'm guessing Mccree's old spot was the slayer role?

ah, high mobility and stuff? k, thanks. I got lots to learn about this game. I don't think that's the role I should play. my buddy plays that role in Halo V and is exceptional at it. I get too distracted when tasked with that.
