Activision Blizzard's Overwatch shared(more games beside TF2 style) game univers

[X Knight]

I haven't heard or read anything. So far as I know Overwatch will forever be a multiplayer only game. They'll probably add some PvE modes down the line like they did with the Halloween stuff, but I wouldn't expect any single player content any time soon.

thanks.

what's PvE?

and is it possible I could play matches by myself, with AI teammates vs AI opponents?

is that possible?

can you do 1-on-1 matches against an opponent?

 

[Matt Mortem]

PvE is a mode where you're up against bots of some kind. And there are AI training modes where you can play games against AI characters.

Blizzard also just added 1v1 matches as well as 3v3 matches. Those are a lot of fun.

oh, thanks!

that sounds interesting.

also, I take it that it's required to have Gold/PS+ in order to play this game, yes?

 

[Matt Mortem]

Yeah you need the online account to play it unless you're on PC.

 

[X Knight]

^ thanks!!

if this goes on sale during BF, I may pick it up.

I really find the characters and lore interesting. which is why I'd really hope they add some kind of story campaign in the future.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I think places like Walmart has it on sale for $35. Blizzard itself is selling the digital version for like $34.99 right now I think.

You mean my PS4 controller? I figured if I used a controller I'd be at a disadvantage, but given how much I suck I'd probably be better off going controller. I do want to get better with mouse and keyboard though.

Yes. You may not be top ranking but I figured it would be better to do good with controls you are comfortable with as opposed to horrid with controls you suck at

I posted a thread about toxicity towards new players in the Overwatch forums. Very first post was a guy insulting me. Is there any online game without a ****load of hyper toxic mad men?

Not in an online FPS game, just doesnt exist.

Unfortunately rare. I think you'd get less individual aggro in a game with a lot more players on both teams in the match like Battlefield where any one person's play (in letting their team down or dominant play causing opposing player rage) has less impact.

I heart all of these characters so much. When they make a sequel do you think they will use all new characters or keep some of the faves? I'm torn to be honest. I can't see them keeping winston as an icon of the series but I would love/hate to see other characters pop up too

If there's a sequel , I'm expecting them all to come back but we'll see.
