Either on the 5th, 6th or 7th of may. The closed bets that a lot of people are enjoying right now ends, and a new Open Beta begins. Letting us who haven't played Overwatch yet give it a shot before putting our money in it.

So tell me, will you try out Overwatch? Why will you try it out? What are you trying it on? What character will you try first?

For me, Overwatch was interesting from the get go. It looked new and interesting. Cinematic trailers and gameplay definitely was up to Blizzard standards. Gameplay seems fun and can be enjoyable even when losing. All the characters they have shown play a vital role in a team. With disruptive characters, heavy damage dealers, vital support and awesome defense. And they plan on adding more which sounds awesome.
Oh, and i'll be trying it on X1 and try out Lucio first.

I'm gonna pre-order the game in the coming weeks so I'll be able to get in the open beta early. I'm really excited for this game. I can't wait to finally play it.

Reaper, Soldier, and Widowmaker are probably gonna be the most I spend time playing with.

not me. i opted in the first day i could and never got into beta. i had previously been invited to the hearthstone beta and the HOTS alpha so that stung. so im like K, never mind then.

So you won't try it because they didn't invite you early?....

I opted in early too, never got in it

Never been a great sniper, so Widow is outta the question for me. I probably could do Hanzo.
Soldier seems like a slower tracer, with the whole disruption thing. Cool though.
And Reaper is edgy as FACK, no thank you.

Oh yeah, Hanzo looks fun to play too. I'm more of an offensive player so the heavy damage dealers will definitely fit my playstyle so I'm excited to use all of them basically.

basically. i was only marginally interested in the first place; im not much of an FPS guy ever since i joined the PC master race. if they werent willing to let me test the game for them, i guess im not gonna play it.

So you're not gonna buy anymore games unless the devs let you test it?

no, i buy games that im geniunely interested/invested in. i was only going to play overwatch if they let me into the beta or offered it as a f2p. how hard is this to understand?

Considering how much TF2 I've played. Yes, I think I will play Overwatch, looks like quite a bit of fun.

I was thinking the game would be F2P really.

The business model that Blizzard is taking with Overwatch is something I appreciate.

I know I'll be getting the game, but I'm not sure if I'll be participating in the public beta.

No. I have zero interest in it.

Just my ramblings:

It's apparent that they definitely have a bunch of stereotypes in Overwatch. Dwarf turret builder. Brazillian DJ. Grizzled Soldier. Bow and Arrow/Ninja Japanese guys. Gamer Korean girl.
I do hope they diversify any new characters they add in the game, we need more variety in the characters tbh. Probably one of the few gripes I have so far.

By the way I was watching some Symmetra game on a stream the other day, I looked in chat and I don't know why but I shit my pants laughing.
"Symmetra. Heh, Indian Tech Support"

Bro

Blizzard stereotypes characters in ALL their games. Just look at The Lost Vikings, they're a prime example.
