Nah. In my personal opinion I have never been able to gain anything from it happening. I'm sure it's great for the caller, but most of the time I just skip ahead (if it's an archive) and ignore it.

Nope! I poured hours into that game. It was my go-to game when I would relax in my college's student lounge in-between classes.

It looks great, and that is definitelynot my 10 years veterancy in WoW talking. Not at all.

PS: I'm super excited to see it.

I am a Blizzard fanboy. Figured I should get that out there first.

I was only able to attend a handful of beta weekends/stress-tests through it's alpha/beta phase and what I played of it was fantastic. I am a very vain player, and Overwatch proved to me that something can break me of that mold. I played before they added the lootcrates, cosmetics, and even leveling. Generally I need those things to stay interested in this sort of game, and the fact that Overwatch was able to break me of that and I was capable of playing multiple matches just for the sake of the game-play speaks volumes to me.

The architecture of the game would crumble if it was free-to-play. The game is mean't to be played where each player changes heroes in-between deaths to accommodate the strengths and weaknesses of the other teams. Playing Overwatch with few heroes unlocked and relying on team-makeups to meld properly is a disaster waiting to happen. I know everyone wants all of these types of games to go the route of DOTA2 with a fully unlocked roster and only cosmetics costing money, but I truly think DOTA2 is a one-of-a-kind instance where that can be accomplished due to the very nature of it's market and platform.

Also, I plan to get it on PC once I have the cash!

From my perspective, which obviously is a tiny grain of salt to you, if you have the computer to run it and the cash to spend it is well worth it. I haven't had as much fun with my small amount of time to play games as I have with my Rift & Vive.

Holy shit. That looks absolutely amazing.

@baronsamedi: It really is nuts sometimes. I guess maybe games that don't have a strict over-bearing rule system kind of lends itself to the community making up for it to avoid absolute anarchy? Reminds me of the good ole' days in "Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided." Never before had I seen cohesion by a community more than when it came to the doctors buffing their customers. I never heard the words spoken that commanded people to do so, but 10's, if not hundreds on the weekends, would line up single-file and wait their turn to get buffed. It was amazing.

I mean, everyone is entitled to their opinion and all, but I tend to enjoy FPS' more now then I ever did back in the game. I have a lot of fond memories of Doom, Quake, Unreal Tournament, Halo, etc., but I actually like the direction they are headed in.
