Overwatch

I think Lucio has been my favorite character to play so far, reminds me of playing some sort of support-bard. Passive healing or speed boosts into amplified versions of it on cooldown depending what you need + a huge super buff for your team as an ultimate just makes him feel really fun

I didn't think this game would be as decent as it is. It's not great, but a better offering than I originally thought it would be. It suffers the same fundamental problem that TF2 and most modern FPSs do: selling-out by contracting the effect that skill has on outcomes in order to appeal to wider audiences and consoles.

I like how they've defined roles through classes, but I don't like how they still restrict the gameplay for kids and grandma. Take the kid gloves off and let the physics-based-on-skill determine the winner, not whether your Q-power is full or not.

I've had the most success with Reaper so far. Just invul around people and let them expend their ammo a bit before killing.

Pure skill based shooters have a role to play, but that doesn't mean that every shooter needs to just be a bunch of near identical peeps running around with the same weapon bouncing around like they are crickets on crack. Games like this just aren't for that same audience.

I immediately fell in love because he is literally a character out of Jet Set Radio. Plus characters/games with wonderful movement based gameplay is among my alltime favorite things in games. I can't wait to try him, I'm glad that pretty much 99% of people that play him agree he is fun as fuck to play.

I'm shocked I don't see more of the Portal person. That seems to be such a game changer, when you need to get back to a objective pronto.

You probably will later. People are still chasing KDA instead of objectives.

Not to mention Q isn't a time-based cooldown it is an action-based cooldown. So its not like you can just avoid conflict until your Q is up, use your Q and then continue to delay.

lmfao

How is Blizzard not getting destroyed by SJWs for those obvious stereotypes like the phat beats dropping hip-hop/reggae black dude?

They should do it like SMITE. Rotate a set characters that are free and if you want access to all of them, you pay X amount but then that gives you access to all future characters as well. Then you pay for skins and voice packs through earned or bought currency.

I don't see them every doing anything like this simply because they don't need to. I think it will either be all free and pay for skins etc. or HotS system where you have your free rotation and if you want anything perm you pay.

I had a suspicion there wouldn't be many tank players since there isn't a comparable class for them in TF2.

So what makes a good FPS player?

Only FPS multiplayer I ever really got into was UT back in college, which I was pretty good at against all the other first year kids in the lab.

It depends on the individual game. Different games require a different skillset.

Dumar got an invite and I didn't. Fuck this shit.
