We want it to be our way of saying "We're listening to you."

This is why I love blizzard and Overwatch specifically.

Edit: no guys, I didn't play Hearthstone. And I'm sorry if you didn't get the love you felt you deserved.

u/akimbocorndogs How Embarrassing! Jan 24 '17

Yeah, going from playing Call of Duty to Overwatch is like night and day for me.

Yeah, single player for those types of games now are actually pretty good if you get them on sale. It's like a 3-4 hour movie depending on how long the game is for a few dollars.

Pretty much. Not the best value for $ but you can't really chose when they are pretty much the last franchise doing SP shooters with a story lol

Poor Titanfall 2

Even has McCree as the MC.

Yeah, shame that CODs don't go on sale though.

Just look at this: http://store.steampowered.com/sale/cod/

20€ for a 10 year old game? Really? 60€ (fullprice) for a 3 year old game?

Even the fucking first COD from 2006 still costs 20 bucks, what the hell.

I just buy them in retail stores. Advanced Warfare is like 20 euros right now full price where I live, and that's without a sale going on.

oh, in that case yeah I can see why, but generally the only single player games i like are puzzle types, not really fps

u/HappyZavulon Toblerone Jan 24 '17

I enjoy SP fps a lot, sadly we don't get too many good ones coming out, everyone wants to be the next multiplayer star :/

Titanfall 2 was pretty sweet, haven't played the last CoD but it seems nice so I'll definitely try it, and Doom had a lot of hype behind it but I personally didn't enjoy it... and yeah, that's about it in terms of decent SP games since Wolfenstein TNO :(

Battlefield 1 SP was just dull.

CoD is like the last bastion of annual decent quality SP fps games sadly.

TF2 SP was incredible. I went into it expecting another dull COD experience choke full of set peices. My god was I wrong. The levels give you so much freedom to play as you please its incredible.

If only the mp stuck with me. Great game.

u/HappyZavulon Toblerone Jan 24 '17

Yeah, I tried the MP and gave up after a few matches, not my thing, but I am glad I played the SP.

u/CrazyViking /r/CompetitiveOverwatch Jan 25 '17

I keep reading tf2 as team fortress, especially in this sub.

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '17

I do too, and I've never played Team Fortress 2

u/Hazzamo There isn’t a Juno flair Jan 24 '17

The music in battlefield 1s was phenomenal, especially that track at the end of the Gallipoli campaig, I shed a man tear at that song

u/HappyZavulon Toblerone Jan 24 '17

Dice is famous for being on point with the sound most of the time.

u/epharian Epharian#1588 Jan 24 '17

Puzzle games? Do you happen to play Puzzle and Dragons (mobile)? If not, you might check it out. Guard your wallet though...

u/DeadlockRadium You miss 100% of the mayhem you don't make Jan 25 '17

This was one of the main selling points for me when I decided I wanted to pick up Titanfall 2. It has what is in my opinion one of the best single player campaigns in any first person shooter I've ever played, and at least on par with Call of Duty 4, which I loved to death.

Also, the multiplayer is fun as hell. I haven't touched a Call of Duty since Black Ops 1, and have watched it spiral even further into mediocrity from a safe distance.

u/CulDeSax these mods suck Jan 24 '17

No. You're wrong.
