Support NeoGAF

[DrArchon]

I'd love to get the Origins skins, but I don't play any other Blizzard games (nor do I have plans to) and they're definitely not worth $20.

It sucks because Overgrown Bastion is one of the best skins in the game, and Slipstream Tracer is great as well, but at least for everyone else I can take solace in the fact that they have better unlockable skins.

If/When we have the ability to straight up buy skins I'll just use the $20 I saved to get a bunch that I really like, like Anime Mech Pharah and Wolf Hanzo.

Jesus, you know your team fucked up bad when you don't get a single card.

 

[Zaventem]

I already feel like I'm gonna suck ass at this game. It's been like 10 years since I was decent at FPS. Thankfully I'm only in it for the fun, but I guess I should prepare to listen to 12 year olds telling me a story about them knowing my mum.

Actually barely anyone was chatting and i put in 37 hours in the beta. Good part is you can mute chat and choose to opt of a party chat if you want, you'll be fine.

 

[Jito]

How big is the download? Pretty tempted by this.

 

[maouvin]

Any characters that you guys plan on trying more that you didn't use much of (or at all) during the beta?
I used Windowmaker maybe once or twice towards the end and I enjoyed her way more than I thought I would. Same with Genji and Reaper.

Torb and Junkrat. I rarely used Defense characters, Bastion playstyle isn't my fancy and I can't snipe to save my life (well, might try the snipers on brawl or something).

How big is the download? Pretty tempted by this.

Under 10GB on PC, under 20GB on console.

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

Probably asked here a hundred times but if I buy the game now it still is considered a pre-order, correct?

Still considered Pre Order..YES

 

[Smokey]

Is there a list of PC GAF players

Godlike Genji

Seagull is good but more like Godlike Zenyatta... look at the assists on that guy post game!

 

[patchday]

Wow this thread is moving super fast! Good work on the OT!

I'm ready to do this!

 

[NeoN1]

Just got my cd-key & dlc from Cdkeys.com

I'll be able to play just a couple of matches tonight, but tomorrow I'll play like crazy. I hope I get some awesome skins :3

 

[X-Frame]

If for PS4 yeah, its still has Pre-Ordee button on it, I think the Origin Edition will stay as is after launch, but I think you lose out on that Widowmaker Noire skin

Thanks GRX! Yes, PS4 for me!

Still considered Pre Order..YES

Much appreciated!

The Google doc with players for all platforms is in the OP.

 

[Meia]

6 GB I think? It's not a "big" game size, at any rate, no more than 10 GB.

There's a doc in the OP.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Jesus, you know your team fucked up bad when you don't get a single card.

Seagull has the skills but remember he has a consistent support behind him, aiding him through his troubles
Communication also plays a factor by a huge margin

Mercy was healing and buffing him up at times
Also nice timing with all abilities to keep Genji moving, non stop
Public Genjis after a few jumps become standstill forgetting that moving is an essential part to him

His deflects are OP as fuck though, you can see he saves them for the right moment, baiting them rather than wasting it nonchalantly as pub players do

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

Thanks GRX! Yes, PS4 for me! Much appreciated!

PS4 you say...have you been added to the DOC?

 

[Zaventem]

Torb and Junkrat. I rarely used Defense characters, but Bastion playstyle isn't my fancy and I can't snipe to save my life (well, might try the snipers on brawl or something).

Junk \rat is fun as hell. My tip for aiming with him is 1v1/close range aim lower to the floor since missing direct shots can hurt a ton with the way his gun works, long range well you can just spam that shit. And when the beta finished i learned that his tire can climb walls?!?! Like every single person i've seen using the junkrat ulti choose to ride the tire out in direct gunfire to get shot down.. even myself. Now i know you can be a sneak fuck with him.

Yeah this thread is a lightning bolt lol. Glad you liked it!

Thanks!

No point denying it any longer, I had more fun on the Overwatch beta than with Uncharted 4 and Doom multiplayer. Should get the download going!

Mei and Zarya. It's ridiculously rare that I ever got put in a team with a healer so I was virtually always stuck as Mercy/Lucio. I'll probably be a bit selfish for the first few days so I can actually learn someone new.

 

[deoee]

How's the Lore going guys?

 

[randomengine]

Seagull is good but more like Godlike Zenyatta... look at the assists on that guy post game!

All he had to do was assist the one guy on the team that was killing anyone.

 

[Vol5]

Probably been asked a thousand times but how can GAF team up?

 

[Pixel Fist]

What does Hearthstone do it differently?

I'm assuming he means on Hearthstone you can use the same account on different platforms?

 

[Haines]

Am I crazy to wait til this game gets some balance tweaks before buying it? Feels like it is exactly the game to need a ton of it

 

[Skele7on]

Lets keep the Waifus off the OT, It makes for especially weird looks in the office when browsing at lunch

Cheers for the creepy waifus.

so gross, keep it to yourselves.

I barely got to play Mei and Junkrat for whatever reason. So hopefully I can get some more time with those now.

 

[Sir Blaming]

Dammit, I refuse to be stopped by a typo in the code I receive!!!!
More waiting, hopefully not too long.

 

[StrangeADT]

Yes you are crazy. The game was honestly in a releasable state for a very long time. The balance is fine.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

Pretty crazy, yeah. The game felt pretty balanced to me, a few minor tweaks will be made but overall it's perfect already.

 

[Muzicfreq]

My main go to is probably going to be in this order
Mercy (no one ever really picks support)
Tracer
D.VA
Then anyone of the cheese classes...
Y'all know who they are

 

[Tecnniqe]

How's the Lore going guys?

Coming along

Spoiler

fappingly

well.
So much deep lore.

 

[Durden77]

So how's the PS4 version? I really wanna get this but I always kinda feel like I'm playing the side-bitch version of games like this when it's on console. Kind of feels like TF2 on consoles again.

Have they confirmed they're going to support it as much as the PC version?

 

[randomengine]

Added my name to the list in the OP. Hope to be able to play with you guys.

My name has been thrown in as well. Wasn't sure I was really loving the game, but I can't stop thinking about it.

 

[GraveRobberX]

PS4 you say...have you been added to the DOC?

Can I be added to PS4 doc, phone keeps giving me an error

PC is good @150+
PS4 reaching 100
X1 is @20+ (ouch)

 

[Haines]

Alright. I have doom and uncharted to play right now but it's possible I sell some games and get a digital copy on ps4

 

[X-Frame]

PS4 you say...have you been added to the DOC?

I haven't! Just pre-ordered now, going to check that out now. My PSN is the same as my GAF name too which is easy.

 

[jediyoshi]

Step 1, go back to when closed beta launched
Step 2, read all patch notes going forward to now

 

[deoee]

No mp game is balanced - never. Don't believe the lies

 

[Dance Inferno]

I've been playing the game since last fall and I can tell you it's very well balanced. It's a little tough for new players to deal with Bastion and Torbjorn, but once you get over that hump it's smooth sailing.

Blizzard should really be commended for their balancing with this game.

Plays great, controls are completely customizabe and you will get the same support the PC version is getting. Blizzard already promised that.

 

[Tecnniqe]

Balanced is boring anyway.

I want everything to be OP so everyone can get salty

You'll be waiting forever then. These kind of games will always have balance issues of some sort. You aren't playing at an esports level so there's no need for you to worry about that, tbh.

Bastion is a great thing to point out how hard it is to balanced casual, semi-pro and pro level play.

Why would anyone want to "main" a character in a team based shooter based around switching heroes and counterpicking?

 

[Maulik]

Is there a PS4 Gaf community that we can all join for matching up and playing? I know there is the google doc but wanted to see if we could do it from within the PS4. If so, PSN ID is Recipe4disastr.

Yeah I mean Dota for example has been around for what... 10+ years now? Old heroes are still getting balanced and tweaked in patches. No such thing as perfect balance in these games.

Why would anyone want to "main" a character in a team based shooter based around switching heroes and counterpicking?

A lot of people don't understand that hero switching is a core part of the gameplay. They think it's akin to TF2 where it's okay to pick one class and play that class forever.
