The Last Poster Wins! [v21]

[Chibi Altaria]

Well, the unique thing about Overwatch is that you can select a hero and every hero has different abilities, weapons, and stuff like that. There's a lot of different ways to play it and it has lots of interesting strategies, combos, and gameplay mechanics. Plus the character cast is quite a mix. You have the serious and stern types to the goofy and whimiscial types. Some people take it a bit too seriously, but overall, it's a fun and enjoyable team-based game to play with friends.

Speaking of which, the Overwatch Christmas event just started. :D

I guess that's out for me then. xD I suck at FPS games (like terribly) and I don't really have friends to play it with anyway.

Well, for a lot of the heroes, aiming your weapon isn't even as big of a thing (Overwatch definitely isn't one of those super-serious FPS games where you're royally screwed if you don't have the aiming and reaction time of a special forces soldier). Every hero offers a different way to help the team, and even if one hero doesn't quite feel right for you, try the others! I'll easily admit there are some heroes I'm just terrible at (here's looking at you, Junkrat!), but there's plenty of others that I can do well with.

In the meantime, Overwatch kind of has a rock, paper, scissors thing going on (or like the Pokemon type chart) where one hero will overpower another, but then not do well against a third. And that's there the teamwork component comes into play. If you work together to employ all of strengths of your heroes and overcome their weaknesses, you'll do great.

But overall, just have fun with it! Sometimes I like to play Tracer even though I'm just okay with her. It's fun to pester their snipers with her and distract the enemy team. It drives people crazy. Plus who doesn't love throwing sticky bombs on Bastion in turret form? It's all good fun.

Oh...it sounds a little more forgiving then. xD Since I'm primarily on console I can't play FPS to save my life. And the few that I've tried I've been rather awful at, especially multiplayer games because the vets kill me in an instant. T^T I suppose it does help to have a team, though, and if everyone basically knows what they're doing it should be okay. Even if they aren't great. xD

I like that each player has advantages and weaknesses, too! That rounds things out a little more. I'd like to try the game honestly, just to see what all the hype is about. But I'm not going to buy it without a trial run first. I just don't know anyone that has it so I can play. xP

Meanwhile I can't play half of them because I have a Mac.

I'll be honest, I don't know why people buy Macs. I'm all Windows PCs and Androids and I'm totally happy with these.

My mother's job requires it. Macs also have better editing skills when it comes to photo, audio, and video editing. They're less likely to contact malware and in my case it's cheaper to buy a Mac than anything else.

I like them. ;c Or did, until they revealed the new Pros. Now I'm looking elsewhere. I prefer the Mac interface, though. It's so sleek. *drools*

And yeah, they're usually higher end for graphics and 3D work, but many PC people will argue with that, too. xD I don't care either way.

That's the thing, you can do great high-end graphics work on a PC. But if you prefer the Mac interface, that's a different story.

I knooooooow, like if Windows had the same interface (or similar) to Mac I'd be all over that. xD I'm particular with how I like things aha. People like to say how Apple makes no sense with its interface, but I think it's very user-friendly. Windows 10 is alright, but 8 just...I dunno. It confused me so much my brain hurt.

Well on the Overwatch side. Starting on December 15th if you guys want I can get some Overwatch nights going. Most nights would have to be earlier or not last as long....darn work xD.

As for you Mac users. I can understand the reason some people prefer them because of the exclusive things it has business wise. I do personally recommend a Widows desktop/laptop. Much more of a variety to play games and stuff.
