Anyone else getting tired of hearing about Overwatch?

Not saying it's a bad game but Jesus Christ it's everywhere BUY IT BUY IT IT'S SO GOOD
YOU NEED IT
OMG TRACERS BUTT, BUY IT
BEST SHOOTER EVER YOU MUST BUY IT LOOK AT THIS CINEMATIC THEN BUY IT

Can't think of another game in recent memory with as in your face marketing.

Gamers sure can be confusing.
I've got a coworker who will not shut up about that game nor will he stop asking me to buy it and play with him. He also wears an Overwatch shirt and has a bunch of Overwatch pins on his hat.

Greetings. I will be your waifu this season.

Yeah I just don't quite grasp the massive hype about it.

Destiny was similar but the hype was generated mostly pre-release I only knew Overwatch existed like 2-3 months before it came out and now it's just everywhere.
Perhaps because it's not a let down like Destiny but still...how is it that good.

Not really been excited for shooter titles for ages now BF1 interests me because of the era and large scale battles but otherwise meh, if it's just shooting and nothing else I don't care.
Interesting mechanics and whatnot aren't really satisfying enough without a cool story mode at this point.

I've known about Overwatch for nearly 2 years. It's been built up over time and it's not a surprise that it's such a popular release, given Blizzard's past games.

I don't understand bashing games when you haven't played them lol

Like yea if the genre or subgenre isn't your thing in the first place, then you probably won't like it anyway, but sounding as if you dislike a game bc it's popular just kind of seems pointless.

And like emmeth said, it's been known for a couple of yrs before it was released

I've known about it for pretty long as well myself, and honestly I think it's because for the most part we didn't stuff like this, remember the popular trend before this was modern military shooters (and dear god that was a terrible time). Now confess song something as colorful as a Saturday morning cartoon with tons of personality and effort into the aesthetics and the character personalities, unique moves we don't often see these days (until the class shooter thing as a whole stated to gain momentum), and it's by blizzard...
I'm not surprised thus is the hot new thing, and compared to the last trend which gave us dine of the worst single player experiences I've ever seen (I firmly think Battlefield 3's single player outright detects from the game's value due to not even teaching you the mechanics and in fact misinforming you as to then).

It's a little annoying at tunes I'd imagine but everyone finds the popular whatever to be annoying after too much over exposure, just look at Undertale.
If nothing else, at least it's not Advance Warfare getting that hype.

Long story short: I assume it's good, it's probably not "that good" in so far as the crazy fans will say it is but that's true of anything and everything.

My understanding of Overwatch's popularity is that, just like Team Fortress 2 and unlike most other FPSs, the characters have their own unique traits and personalities, making them likeable and entertaining. Just look at the new Doom game. Aside from being very faithful to the first two games (and ignoring the third one, just because), Doomguy (not calling him Doomslayer) has a lot of personality and it's fun to see him do stuff, and that's one of the many reasons why people enjoy playing that game.

I think the animated shorts just made Overwatch even more popular than it already was. I mean Blizzard did a very good job doing the exact same thing with the WoW cinematic trailers, which looked amazing, and really made you want to buy the game, or that they could make a movie about it.



The more effort you put into something, the most likely it is to become very succesful.

Overwatch unplayable without microtransactions? What kind of f***ing crack are you guys smoking? They're all cosmetic based, not for stuff like weapons or characters.

Not sure what they meant by that but I heard the cosmetic situation is pretty s***.
Like you'll slave away for hours to get a s*** skin for a character you never use or you can buy 100 crates and get nothing you want.

I don't really see why things like that are in full priced titles, should just be able to buy what you want for specific characters. Overwatch is laid out more like a F2P title really.



So I've finally got back to Witcher 3 and are enjoying it, it's still clunky as f*** and kinda easy but it sure doesn't lose points for it's titties setting.
f***ed Yennifer on the stuffed unicorn, awesome stuff.

I love how whenever Geralt meets her there's almost always a speech option heading in a sexual direction, that thirst man.
