And remember to follow up the shotgun with a melee.
Hook->Primary Fire->Melee. It should be one smooth combo.
You can't not get em. The only version on console is the origins edition, which comes with all those extra goodies. I think you just register whatever code it comes with to your battle.net account and the tracer, the Diablo mercy wings, and everything else shows up in your PC games.
yes you get all the extra stuff
You're a Bastion player i would upvote.
Nah jk, i have nothing against Bastions, his damage output may be a tiny bit too high but he also has a lot of weak points, like you can easily take him out.

I know it was a digital pre-order bonus but not sure now. Best way to check is link your battle.net account within the game and see if you get the goodies (if you buy the digital version).

Well this thread and the GB quicklook have convinced me. I'm picking this up after work today.
did you have like 3 or 4 roadhogs on the team?
same thing happened to us yesterday and we destroyed them right after rezSir Griffith

Fucking put premades against premades Blizzard. Nothing fun about being with randoms and getting destroyed by premades.

You can't get a kill for destroying a turret, so why even bother?

especially if your the healer.
How does that work for the digital version?
I guess that's how it works? Linking the battle.net account.
Thanks guys.

Remember the time Payday 2 was going to be microtransaction free forever, guys? Remember? Woops! Lol!
Naw, but like Feral said, there's just no such thing as 100% certainty with these things.
Pardon me, guys, I guess the joke was in poor taste.

Did Blizzard make Payday 2?
Payday devs are not as big and rich as Blizzard doe
Ran into an opposing Pharah who did her best to stop my turrets. I'd just place one quickly after she destroyed it because she didn't fly around or anything. Just got picked off by the turret a lot when peeking out.
It definitely is rare to find an opponent willing to fight a turret. I try to do it sometimes but as Lucio I don't kill them too quickly if someone is helping/repairing them.

If you buy the game on PSN or xbox marketplace. However, you buy the boxed/retail version, you may get the code inside the box.
Comparing shitty business practices from one company to another absolutely makes no sense--especially when one of the companies has proven that they're fairly good on their word and when they mess up they make decent strides to doing better.
The only game that's kinda on life support from Blizzard is WoW and that's because it's old as shit and doesn't need support to stay alive apparently.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I had my two most satisfying kills yet last night. One was as Genji, where as soon as the game started, I turned to the bastion parked right outside the spawn point and made him kill himself with deflected bullets pretty much instantly.
The other was my first successful grip and pop as Roadhog. Snagged the dwarf engineer (yes he's the dwarf engineer) away from his turret that was on the capture point and killed him in one hit.
I like roadhog, I think I'll mess around with him some more tonight
On the salt side: Level 13, still no epic or legendary skins.

Well fuck, I think this has put me over the edge of "should I buy this"

Symmetra didn't look appealing at first, but she is surprisingly enjoyable. Well hidden turrets can really fuck up someone's day.

This Lucio skin dropped for me last night, level 11.
She's my most played character now. Well placed turrets murder these new players.

I really wish they'd rework Widowmaker's and 76's ults. 76's isn't necessarily broken, but it's pretty lazy, design wise.
Imo, a mechanic which drastically increases the impact of a player's mechanical skill is often going to be preferable to a mechanic which replaces it entirely in an FPS. It just feels kinda cheap and not really contributing positively to the game to have an ultimate which removes your need to aim for a few seconds in a game where DM and raw mechanical skill are already of pretty low importance compared to some other FPS titles.
It also just sucks to have a duration-based ult where the most logical counterplay most of the time is to run and hide behind a wall or a shield until it's over because otherwise if you're vaguely on his screen you're lined up for an almost guaranteed death. Again, not necessarily a stupid or imbalanced mechanic, but it doesn't really feel enjoyable to play against I think. It's one of those ultimates where it's startlingly easy to counter and yet paradoxically you don't really feel like you've been outplayed at all if you die to it. If he happens to use when you're not really in a position to easily run away and hide, you don't really feel like you could've done a whole lot about it either, apart from just to not have been standing there. It's different to McCree's ult in that sense I think because of a) how vulnerable McCree is during the chargeup time and b) the fact that McCree's ult HAS that chargeup time where he's looking to get the most value out of his ult and you have that window to try and get away and maybe force him to either waste it or use it inefficiently. 76 can press Q and almost immediately start shooting.
Widowmaker's is just dumb, especially with her ludicrously fast charge-up time. Fuck that.

Well, just bought the PS4 version and installing now. This thread and the GB QuickBooks convinced me as well. I'd play on PC but my MacBook Pro is not that great nowadays.
Looking forward to playing a lot of support!
I added myself to the Google doc already.

I live in California, so PST time. I play random hours, but usually will be on late evenings, sometimes mornings.

Just had my first play of the game as Junkrat! I killed a whole two people with the tire right inside the objective during overtime. The tire didn't even travel more than a few feet. Then I died and killed 3 more as they were pushing hard to take over the point, lol. I love that he drops grenades when he dies.

Oh, cool. Fixed my stuttery performance compared to the beta by disabling the W10 Game DVR, which I had enabled while playing Quantum Break. Back to a solid 70fps on maxed-except-AA settings (i5 3570k & 970).

Is there a way to tell if you're up against a premade team?
There are 21 different heroes.
TWENTY ONE.
I dare you to tell me you literally play all of them every day.
Played against a team of 5 Torbjörn yesterday on Hanamura. I was using Reinhardt and was blocking damage from 5 turrets while my team continued to be useless. The only turrets that ended up being destroyed were the ones I managed to get to.
Not really. Even if you aren't playing you might still be able to figure out match ups by reading up on it or watching videos. This thread has helped me a little in that regard.
And no one gets play advantages from leveling up so it will be the same footing. You'll be fine getting this in a couple weeks or later down the line.
I hope you left the room after that. That would be annoying as hell to me. A Pharah and/or Widowmaker could easily sit behind your shield and start popping away those turrets. Maybe have a Reaper flank and kill some Torbjorns or even just flank the turrets themselves.

Yes when their coordination is ace you know its a premade.

I love interesting sound design nuggets like this.

Haha, for sure. I only play them when there's a decent Rein covering my ass or a good enough team distracting everyone else.
The sound design in this game is phenomenal. Every hit sound is crisp enough that you know you made contact but not so dominating that you can't focus on everything else. Having every ult in the game come with a line of dialog that you can hear from basically anywhere on the map is great as well, and it's genius that allied ults are just as loud but use different lines so you know that they're going off and can push the advantage,

Are there any good Overwatch streamers beside Seagull? Took a look at about 20 streams and didn't like a single one.

Eeeh. McCree's chargeup isn't that long if he just gets squishies. Rocket Barrage and Whole Hog basically remove any aiming demands on players there, and for both of these as well as D.va, zenyatta, and lucio ults, the counterplay is basically to run, or hide, and just wait it out.I don't think there are many ults that increase the impact of a player's skill, except maybe... Genji? Tracer?
S76 is conspicuous cuz his shit is literally autoaim, but I don't think it's actually that far removed from a lot of the other offensive ults in the game.
