So what I've learned about this game is, in fact, that there is a waifu for everyone.

Wow, between star and b4nnys reaction, this game is actually starting to sound like a first person moba.

Did they confirm that there would be no ingame voice communication or did you just not have it because it was beta/press event?

It was just disabled for the version we played. It should have full in game communication through voice/text.

I just had about an hour with the game at PAX, I played both medic type classes, the closest thing there was to soldier, and then some kind of heavy/sentry hybrid class. There's really no point in talking about FoV, refresh rate, mouse sensitivity or anything like that. The game goes into beta in November so it's unreasonable to even think they'd have ironed out the customizations yet.

My overall impression is that it is really, really fucking good. I love TF2 more than any game I've other played, but now that I'm home and back to TF2 all I can think about was how good Overwatch felt. I think it will be the best shooter of all time.

It doesn't feel as much like a MOBA as some impressions are giving off, it felt much closer TF2 with a huge roster of characters.

EDIT:
They also gave away some cute pins that are now like $200 on ebay

You played it for an hour and you think it'll be the best shooter of all time? Is it really that good?

MapleYou played it for an hour and you think it'll be the best shooter of all time? Is it really that good?

I've played all sorts of shooters and this feels better than when I first started playing TF2. Obviously because I'm better since a lot of the skills carry over. But overall it just seems like they took what works in all great games and stole that content and packaged it up into something fun and original.
If Blizzard makes the right choices in the months leading up to release I don't see why it won't be the best shooter ever. Since I consider TF2 to be the best shooter of all time right now.

I signed up for the Beta so maybe I can actually get some real impressions for it if I get in.

Because the classes legitimately look cool (esp with a demoman class just being added) but if its just a first person moba I will be very sad.

So what you're trying to say is that some people who worked for blizzard at the time and created these gameplay mechanics are the same people working now on overwatch? I bet that one can probably go even earlier in history of games and find such mechanics in 90s or 80s. They don't own anything just like valve does not own it. But there is a difference between lazy copying and creativity (for the sake of art). I understand that Blizzard is a company, but to me it just seems like they saw a niche and they are desperately trying to fill it. What they are doing with overwatch is they are just reusing existing concepts and mixing them up with everything general public likes. Thats not how you create original content. All that is just to profits of course.
