I thought the game was fantastic. Sure, there were some gameplay balance issues. But overall, the game was a lot of FUN to play. And that’s what really counts when it comes to video games. ---

Bastion is OP, but other than that the game is fun. Fills the void of a fast paced shooter ---

> [@ThePoolshark](#): > > Bastion is OP, but other than that the game is fun. Fills the void of a fast paced shooter Bastion appears OP at first glance. But as I played OW more, I found more ways to counter Bastion (Tracer, Genji, Widowmaker). However, what I didn’;t like is how Bastion seemed to be the focus of matches. Teams with Bastions were speccing out to support him while the enemy team tried to spec out to counter him specifically. And there were a couple of maps (e.g. Anubis) where a Bastion on the Defender team could camp out and have complete overwatch of the scoring area and not be flanked. The one character I do think is OP is Tracer though. Against a skilled gamer, the only counter to Tracer is Tracer. ---

I didn’t care for it. I can see the appeal though. I’m more of a slow paced player. Lol ---

OW provides lots of fun. This is what I personally wanted to play when I’m too salty over competetive games. ---

I did. It was fun, Im getting it just to have variety, mostly to chill. It is not something I’d play too much. My only 2 complains; the controls feel wonky/heavy af, and bastion, ptretty sure that guy will get a tone down of some sort. If not, i’ll be pissed ---

I enjoyed it, though I do not feel as though there should be room for a team to all use the same character. THAT is game breaking. At one point there was even 6 roadhog’s going against my team, yeah.. infinite pulls. ---

At one point there was even 6 roadhog’s going against my team, yeah.. infinite pulls. There’s always a counter to a hero. But in your case, it would’ve required teamwork for your entire team to pull the same hero counters to a team of Roadhogs. Much as in any FPS team game, teamwork is OP lol. ---

I tried it really quick on the Playstation 4 and it’s nice. I would probably enjoy it more on the PC however. I might end up buying it in the end. ---

I would be wary about playing it on the PC. There were LOTS of complaints about hackers during the OW beta from PC gamers. No complaints from the PS4 beta gamers (including myself). Not unless you count how hard it was to snipe with Widowmaker’s sniper rifle using a console controller LOL! ---

Overwatch (to me) looks like a game that should be free to play and be funded with optional micro-transactions like (League of Legends or Team Fortress 2) for example ---

On the one hand, I see why OW should be F2P. On the other hand, F2P games make it easy for cheaters to create new accounts after they’ve been banned for cheating. P2P games force cheaters to buy another copy of the game if they wish to play OW again. ---

I am terrible with console controls when it comes to FPS games or like Overwatch. Doing pretty fine with a XBOX360/One controller in adventure/single-player action games. ---

Doing pretty fine with a XBOX360/One controller in adventure/single-player action games. I was a PC gamer until cheating and hacking drove me to consoles. It took me about 3 months of playing an hour daily until I was able to use a controller on par with a mouse / keyboard setup.
