Anime Overwatch

[PlanHex]

TF2
CS:GO
Battlefield 2
Unreal Tournament
Quake 3 / Quake Live

Fair, but not really interested in revisiting any of these personally.
Besides, isn't the playerbase tiny to non-existent for all but the first two? Might as well throw Doom and Quake in there while you're at it.

Star Wars: Battlefront
Battlefield 3+4
Planetside 2

lol good joke

I don't really play multiplayer shooters, but when I do, I play Insurgency

 

[sser]

Rising Storm and Natural Selection 2 for me. I thought Overwatch was just as fun as either one, but only when I played with some buddies. Playing solo in pubs wasn't that great. Rising Storm/Natural Selection are always fun regardless.

Also hear Insurgency is good as Ivan mentioned.

 

[Latro]

Rising Storm/RO2 are still great games despite whatever nonsense Tripwire is up to, and probably one of the last "not casual" online MPs with at least over 1000 players daily.

It's probably been popamoled down compared to the original, but I'd still argue it's the best populated MP game out there.

Since the start of the OW closed beta, we've known there were idea circulating around Blizzard regarding selling lock boxes for money. However, no micro transaction system was ever implemented during the beta, nor even spoken of as something that would be in the final product.

Now that the game has released, I can confirm that the cash shop has indeed been added. The prices are...

$2 for 2 boxes
$5 for 5 boxes
$10 for 11 boxes
$20 for 24 boxes
$40 for 50 boxes

Is this the thread where we all complain about the new blizzard game in order to sound like a legitimate codexer (and in the case of metro, complaining about it non stop but playing it 12 hours a day for 3 years straight)

I'm having fun with this game. People want to be edgy? Sure, whatever.

I'm a bit bummed I can't select what map I want to play, that's probably my biggest problem with the game so far.

 

[Ulminati]

Custom game.

 

[Great Deceiver]

I don't think there's a lot of variety between maps, they look distinct but all play pretty much the same with similar chokepoints and alternate routes to objectives.

They either buffed Bastion it nerfed D.Va. In beta, if D.Va flew up to Bastion with defence matrix and unloaded at point blank, she would kill him and lose her mech. (Good trade, made her a counter pick). Now, she will die while Bastion is at half health. Nation even has time to go from scout to turret mode and he'll still win the trade. Which seems silly. If you jump him in scout mode, he should be at a disadvantage.

I'm guessing it's D.Va that lost effective health. Because McCree can take a full health mech out in a single fan the hammer clip. I don't recall seeing that in beta either

Paid reviews are realziez. When is the Codex giving this a

 

[pippin]

Has the porn quality improved? I remember it beign quite meh. It has potential though.
Also the metacritic page shows the Problematic Butt girl as the cover character for the game. Was this like that since the beginning or it's a recent thing?

 

[Metro]

Tracer? She's been the main marketing character since they announced the game.

 

[Hoaxmetal]

Tracer's butt? She's been the main marketing character since they announced the game.

Fixed.

 

[Metro]

Full on marketing blitz...

Full on marketing blitz...

Clueless gamer but still better than the average Polygon reviewer I bet

 

[Talby]

Finally, a game that closely simulates the experience of being a woman living in modern Europe.

 

[J_C]

So what online multiplayer shooter should everyone be playing that's more fun than this? Enlighten us.

CS: GO
Star Wars: Battlefront
Battlefield 2+3+4
Planetside 2
Unreal Tournament
Quake 3 / Quake Live

Just to name a few and there are numerous numerous others than are miles better than this shit.

And I think you just listed a few good multiplayer shooters to look monocled, but in reality you play My Little Pony.

The mech has a massive headshot hitbox, you could never win a straight shootout from the front.

 

[Churrasco]

Game looks amazing, will buy as soon as I finish my backlog

 

[Ivan]

could we update the OP with Codex Battletags?

 

[Metro]

could we move this thread to NeoGaf?

[Metro]

Bro, desperate times call for edgy measures. When Overwatch is heralded as a great game on RPG Codex... nothing is sacred anymore.
