Date: May 28th, 2018 1:12 AM Author: Electric location every game is a "dying game" when the latest new toy comes out. fortnite is boring as fuck for me to play and there aren't really many options out there for a fast paced FPS.
From playing today the part I like the least is the pretty limited "official" game modes; I'm sure a downside when I play competitive is people bitching and always playing DPS, but that's just the nature of a game like that. Other than that the pace is pretty good, there are alternative options when I get bored (e.g. deathmatch, even though I'm sure it's hilariously unbalanced, and CTF), and I don't give a shit about everyone whining about "loot boxes" or whatever the fuck those things are.
The only multiplayer game I've played over the last year is rocket league, which is pretty much a straight grind. I still like rocket league, but it seems like Blizzard has done a pretty good job of giving people a fair number of options in how they want to play a game if they're more casual. It's also $20 at the moment. Am I missing something? |

Not speedy, but you have a free easy escape mechanic and a similar shotgun. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3987787&forum_id=2#36141466) |

Date: May 28th, 2018 6:32 PM Author: Electric location I only played on console (rip) after TOB came out, but I was usually a sniper. By the time TF2 came out I didn't have a PC for gaming anymore but I was reasonably good at halo and sniper was pretty easy mode since most people on console were used to some form of aim-assist in games.
I've found my muscle memory for DPS while pretty bad is actually not as terrible as I thought it would be being 30. I played around with soldier 76 on DPS just because it's pretty obviously the most straightforward character and the first thing I need to work on is getting reaction for flicking back.
It's the other classes (aside from Rein and Mercy) I feel like will take a lot of time/reading to adjust to. I have no idea WTF Dva is supposed to actually do for instance, it's a really weird mix of abilities. |

Date: May 28th, 2018 7:56 PM Author: bateful stage stock car Just learn one class well and another one or two passable, with time you'll see the others enough to mostly learn them, then try them here and there and you'll know everything well enough.
And yeah it's a game you can take seriously, and enjoy improving your skills. It has just enough moba kind of elements to add an extra layer but it really isn't a burden, just a small initial hump. But the overall skill ceiling is very high.
Soldier is fine at first but he's actually hard to really make an impact with, at least for me. But I'm better up close. I do like soldier; get good at saving your heal for when you can fight on it and have the advantage. Obviously get good with the rocket.
Zarya might be my favorite. She can swing a match with her ultimate and is just overall very capable.
Generally, realize it's a fucking team game, fight with and support your team and you'll do well. Don't die. Don't chase or take stupid risks. Don't be forward. |

Date: May 29th, 2018 5:47 PM Author: Electric location I tried out Dva yesterday and it's a fucking blast. Having your mech explode then bounce around to finish off the kill (her mobility is pretty nuts) is 180. Also hilarious to boost straight into a sniper with the shield up and destroy them up close. I guess it has a "medium" skill rating because when things get more competitive she's harder to use as a true tank, but I think for now I'll stick with her because she's definitely my favorite to just play.
I tried playing Tracer but fucking suck nuts at her. My reflexes just aren't sharp enough to do all that pinpoint warping and not get gaped. |
|
Date: May 29th, 2018 6:06 PM Author: bateful stage stock car Glad you're digging it. BTW, I recommend playing a lot of deathmatch for practice and learning new characters.
I always sucked with dva. Zarya and Hog are my favorite tanks to play. Hog is a fucking blast.
Tracer is 180 af but really high skill floor. Need to have great tracking aim but also be able to handle her movement. I'm pretty strong with her in deathmatch but not reliably good in matches.
Try Reaper, man. He's easy as hell (his ability makes him invincible.) Just sneak up, shoot, and wraith away if it gets hairy. Just stay close enough to your team so you can fall back during wraith. His gun does great damage up close, so stuff the barrel in their chest and then circle them.

Date: May 29th, 2018 6:16 PM Author: Electric location I think it's easier (and more fun) for me because she's OP on teams full of newbies since they'll do stuff like directly camp hold points. I LOL'd when I just kamikazed in with my ultimate and took out 3 people jumping around, or when I basically did the same thing but popped my shield and launched missiles at everyone. Way harder on real competitive I'm sure as she is a very large target to hit while not being a true tank soI'll have to get better at mobility.
I'll give Reaper a shot after I get decent with D.Va. Since he uses a shotgun it should be pretty easy to get used to shooting with him as D.Va also uses one. |

Date: May 29th, 2018 6:33 PM Author: bateful stage stock car lol, yeah that sort of trickery is fun but it will only work until you get good enough not to be matched with noobs.
But there's more tricks to learn. Lots of em. Knocking/pulling people off the map/into a hole is a blast. |

Date: May 28th, 2018 6:04 PM Author: Curious regret Overwatch is better if you legit like (and can compete in) FPS games. I'm shit at them and so like Fortnite better because it's easier to hide behind the group. Sort of like, to use Blizzard references, the difference between a 40-man raid and a 5-man dungeon. The latter requires everyone to know what they're doing, the former only requires most people to know what they're doing. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3987787&forum_id=2#36141476) |

Date: May 28th, 2018 6:07 PM Author: bateful stage stock car Overwatch is definitely a fairly serious game. It's worth getting a mic and using it. But that should be a selling point imho. Very high skill ceiling and the matchmaking is decent so if you suck, just suck. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3987787&forum_id=2#36141487) |

Date: May 28th, 2018 6:27 PM Author: Curious regret Even then, if you suck, then you're just going to keep sucking. I have some sort of mental block with FPS games, I've never been successful in PvP matches. It's not the game's problem, but it just isn't fun for me.

|
Date: May 29th, 2018 5:54 PM Author: Electric location It's a bit different than counterstrike or something which I feel like is just terrible to play if you suck because it gets boring.
It's basically "arcade shooter with don't be an idiot" at the low level so I feel like I'd be having fun even if I stay super shitty. That's not something I can say for most multiplayer games |
|
Date: May 29th, 2018 6:35 PM Author: Curious regret I guess. I've tried it and didn't think it was fun because I am fucking awful at these games. I think my problem is that I'm really good at learning AI-based mechanics (RPGs, PvE in World of Warcraft, the single-player campaigns in RTS games, etc.), but something is wrong with my brain that's preventing me from being able to compete with other live players.

Date: May 29th, 2018 6:41 PM Author: bateful stage stock car FPS is a much different physical skill than those other genres. And yeah, competing against AI is very different.
I enjoy both, but FPS is primarily about getting into a zone of fully concentrating on aiming and dodging (and whatever other minor shit to pay attention to.) It's much less about knowing the enemy so well you can steer it around.
I like PvP for FPS and other action games that need a lot of reflex and visual concentration. I don't like PvP in strategy games. |

Date: May 29th, 2018 6:02 PM Author: Electric location The characters are a bit "blizzardy" for sure but I vastly prefer how it looks to most popular shooters (there's basically the Counterstrike/COD lineage which PUBG follows, and Fortnite which just looks retarded).
My biggest complaint is that some of the maps are very bland and they need to figure out more competitive game modes than "protect thing" and "capture thing". At least they offer alternative modes for casual play |

Date: May 29th, 2018 6:17 PM Author: Lascivious zippy rehab dopamine I like overwatch, the heroes all feel pretty distinct. I get really heated when my team plays poorly so I stick to soldier because you can keep yourself alive no matter how bad your teammates are. But getting paired with helpful teammates is a blast. I am mostly a LoLmo but the game has a very high learning curve and individual games are very long. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3987787&forum_id=2#36147129) |

Date: May 29th, 2018 6:24 PM Author: Electric location Yeah I could never get into MOBAs. I enjoyed playing Red Alert when I was a kid but could never get into Starcraft, my reflexes for that sort of thing are ass.
I'm pretty impressed there isn't more bitching about balance from what I've seen in the Overwatch community--people complain as expected, but if blizzard hadn't done something right people would be whining constantly and vocally. They managed to avoid what they did with WoW which was "balancing" classes by making them all do the same fucking thing with different skins. |
