Overwatch - Still Going Strong
The above video is an archive of me live streaming Overwatch. I adjust my mic volume around halfway through, and well it gets a lot louder! If you would like to know how I feel about the game just under a week in, please follow me below!
There was a moment around three days in where I almost stopped playing. The glee of getting into a closed beta was wearing off, I was involved in a match where people were screaming down the microphone the whole time and the gameplay was not clicking. For some reason I played again the next day. It clicked. Yes I was still terrible but it was fun in a way few team games are when you are getting your butt kicked all over the map.
BTW, you can mute individual party member mic’s if they are being dicks, which was a godsend. I know they feel verbal communication is vital to gameplay, but it really is not. They have done an excellent job with the emotes (for want of a better word) that decisions can be made using just them.
The gameplay does need a little variation. If this shipped as a paid product I could not honestly say you should get it (price depending of course). Hopefully more maps and modes will be incoming (or at least talked about) at Blizzcon. Even so this game has sucked me back in and I love it.
