What's unfortunate about the gameplay trailer is that it doesn't highlight the new unique things the different mechanics of this game could bring to the table, but instead walks through what can certainly be interpreted as TF2 classes for the majority of it. That being said, I am always excited to see what games like this bring to the table mechanics wise, and I would be totally willing to try it out. Also, I love the idea of introducing a game through a more cinematic trailer. It works quite well for this particular game.

 

Edit: I'm also quite impressed with the effort put into making an even number female characters that don't follow the 'chain-mail Bikini' stereotype.

Necro-bumping, yo! Played some of the open Beta this weekend, absolutely loved it. Bastion's my fave, for obvious reasons.

 

My Battle.net ID is R9000#2851 if anyone wants to add me. :)

 

I maaaay have spent some money on pre-purchasing the special edition.. so now I guess I'll go to Total Biscuit hell.

But it's kinda what people have been asking for for years. A game that you just buy once and has all the content, just like the old days, with no microtransactions. I mean, you'd easily pay £30 for a console game wouldn't you?

Problem with Overwatch is it's worth it if you enjoy getting better at the same game, a bit like a sport. There aren't tonnes and tonnes of story content, there are currently four game modes, about 8 maps (some of which are split into three) and 21 heroes. There will be more heroes, maps and other content added soon, and competitive mode's coming at the end of this month, but if you need new content to keep getting your teeth into like a story-based game, it's not really for you. That said, they said they haven't counted out the possibility of a story mode...

Point is, it's more than worth it if you enjoy the gameplay and the idea of gaining skill. If you don't, it's probably not. By the way, the only reason CS:GO and TF2 are so affordable really is that they're Valve games, and Valve can easily take the lower prices it's charging for its FPS games and mitigate it with Steam or hat sales. Blizzard do sell the loot boxes, but you get one every level anyway, and the level curve pretty much flattens off after about level 20, so it's never an unreasonable grind to get them. I got two loot boxes (four items each) just this evening.

I paid $60 for a game I can't stand after 1 day.

I don't get the hype at all. This doesn't even seem like it's for casual gamers, seems like you have to be a competitive player to even get any joy out of it.
