I'm now starting to put time into this, and I'm enjoying it! I'm still getting use to the flow of combat, but I've been about 60/40 on my win rate, more or less. I'm playing Alan and Diabla mainly.
I had two team deathmatches where I was the only member of my team. I didn't realize that the game basically doubles your health and damage output if you end up in such a situation. I lost the first one because a guy spammed the JRPG on me(that weapon is nuts), and I won the second one pretty handily.

- There is no *oomp* or great sense of feedback to the weapons
- There are definitely overpowered weapons compared to others
- The leaver bonus an individual gets is way too good.
- Music is boring
- Animations are pretty bad
- Something as simple as switching between weapons seems awkward for some reason, can't really put my finger on it
- Not able to match-make the game type you want
- No regional search settings
- Don't like you can see people as you choose your spawn
- Unlockables has no place in a arena shooter (if you want to call this a arena shooter)
- Poor variety of maps and barebones content
- Really annoys me you have to Hold X to advance text
Oh I've noticed this as well. The controls seem a bit unresponsive at times... like you need to stop shooting and wait a sec before changing abilities/weapons. Really annoying.
The matchmaking thing is going to be a player count issue. Fortunately they are already talking about moving TDM to a seperate playlist.
They can see you too. I once nailed a guy with Uncle Joe the second after he landed.

Giant Bomb quick look is up and Dan hates it lol
Seems like he was really offended by the humor. Vinny seems to have a more open mind about it, though.

People are taking things too seriously perhaps or maybe the pc world kicking in.. Dunno.
I don't typically love things like that but I think it's fine here. Doesn't bother me.

He didn't seem offended to me, he just thinks it's bad.
I'd play with you, but I'm terrible.

I don't know if people who play online games are getting triggered by the vulgarity of it, but as someone who rarely plays online shooters (ironically because of the typical war/soldier themes) I find the memes and 'shit talking' amusing.
If that's the case then fair enough. There is a difference between being offended by something and just not being amused by it.
Cool - PSN? Are you ranked in tower?

I don't know man. That kind of vehement reaction to something "he just thinks is bad" doesn't really make add up. He also acknowledges in the video that the gameplay has some merit and reminds him of TM in many ways, so I don't think "he just thinks it's bad" is entirely true either.
But whatever, I don't want to derail the topic further - I just thought his reaction was funny.
Nah, having watched (most of) the vid now he seems to feel it has good ideas but is poorly executed. There's nothing unreasonable about that as an opinion.
I did get bored with how much time he spent complaining about the humour though. I don't feel like most of the fan base of this game actually think "your mum" jokes are funny/clever by themselves, the charm of the game is in how deliberately over the top it all is.
Anyhoo, just got on to play and servers are down for another update
Weapon tweaks apparently, and maybe a surprise new character if I'm interpreting that tweet correctly?Nah, having watched (most of) the vid now he seems to feel it has good ideas but is poorly executed. There's nothing unreasonable about that as an opinion.

No new characters that I am aware of, just some tuning.
I know there is a new character coming, and I thought it was going to be this week, although I could be misremembering.
The tweet mentions "Easter surprises" and has a picture of what looks like a new character: https://mobile.twitter.com/davidscottjaffe/status/852573104358346752
lol. I think that's the demon that shows up in organ donor after you make a deposit. They will have some stuff for Easter def. I think a new character may be coming next week.
Ah damnit you're right

Wish I could just knock out these stupid unranked matches. It keeps putting me in 1v1 matches where I just quit because they take FOREVER and aren't fun at all. Who decided first to 7 was the best way to go?
Play some ranked 👍

Couldn't play Ranked because I had to keep playing unranked lol
I am going to try this again tomorrow with my buddy who also liked it. We just couldn't get matches together. Maybe if we both try ranked now that we have it unlocked we will luck out?
Fingers crossed. It definitely hits the right notes with us for a variety of things we like in competitive games.
As far as balance, they will figure it out and this last patch proves that. I personally like Ninja and Bronco, but man does Bronco feel stiff compared to the mobility of other characters unless I am missing something on how to get him around the map quick. His double jump is also severely lacking.

Finally got a chance to try this game out a bit. Played through the tutorial and about 4 online matches. The game was more fun than I thought it would be.
The controls felt good to me (if not a little over-complicated). Most of the weapons I tried seemed fun, some not so much.
The biggest thing was that the humor didn't bother me nearly as much as I thought it would given all that I have heard about. To me, it seems self-aware enough of what it is. And the announcer during the matches was not as grating as I thought it would be. In fact, I hardly noticed him because I was fairly invested in trying to do well and didn't really pay attention to what he was saying. Maybe that would get more annoying the more you play when you start to hear a lot of repeats.
In the few screenshots and videos I had seen, the art seemed a little busy and I went in feeling it might be hard to follow the action. But I didn't really have this problem at all.
Overall, better than expected. But I probably won't be playing the game anymore. Not because I think its bad, but because online-only shooters are not really my thing and there are so many other games to play right now.

Ranked or unranked?

the look and, actually more so, the tone of the game is just horrid. really infantile.
That's kind of the idea...
That's the joke.
I love this. It's supposed to be infantile. As someone mentioned, it's about as serious as professional wrestling.

I think you just want to play as radiant
Ranked but I found out from the devs twitter it's a buff "such buff" players can get to have more health than normal
Yes I figured as much. Hate when this happens. They go from bullet sponge to basically indestructible.
Well no s*** Sherlock. That's the intent. Troubled teen, raw sketched designed characters, vulgarity within the writing. That's the theme. Most of us happen to like it. Or speaking on my own self, I just love raw sketches in general.

How the fuck is anyone supposed to win a 2v1 as the team of 2. The buff they give the other dude is bullshit. I know you want to try and make it fair, but it swings too hard in the other direction.
...And the poster you're replying to happens to not like it?
You have to work with your teammate. If your teammate is bad it can be pretty unwinnable, but with equally ranked players it feels fair to me.
I think the advantage swings towards the team of 2. If the solo player knows what they are doing it can be tough though.
Sorry I haven't played with you the past few days. I've just been on an Overwatch binge.

I don't think people find it offensive so much as they find it grating and annoying.
lol my advice is to piss off then.
