Elmofongo: No because people here does not like online multiplayer games, especially if its Shooters.
I resent that remark. I have passionately played the Team Fortress line of games, ever since the original Quake TeamFortress. Nowadays I still play Team Fortress 2 several times a week.

The reasons why I am not on Overwatch (or other similar online shooters, other than TF2):

1. Apparently it is not free-to-play, but you have to pay for the game upfront. I haven't yet paid a dime for TF2 (never say never though, I'm close to doing that in order to get the competitive gameplay mode, and to get more inventory space for weapons...), and I simply have some reluctance to pay for multiplayer-only games, because I feel the risk is too great that I won't just like the game e.g. due to the other players. Whenever I am disgusted by e.g. TF2, it is the other players, mainly people who play stupid, or people who cheat.

2. Multiplayer games are the kind of games where I don't need several games. Multiplayer games (esp. shooters) satisfy my competitive side, and I need only one relatively good game to quench that. At the moment it is TF2, so I simply don't see the point to try other (similar) games. I tried e.g. Counterstrike at some point, didn't like it much, so I kept playing Team Fortress (Classic) instead.

Single-player games are usually different, I may like them for completely different reasons (even merely liking the story or music in the game), and they tend to have a definite end (minus Minecraft), after which I look for some other single-player game.

So it is like that kid I know who just keeps playing Minecraft. That's the only game he cares about at the moment, it offers him everything he wants.

Man the GOG community has definately changed or mabye I really don't know.

Mabye people like Licurg and Breja and Crosmando is all I think of when it comes to what I think this community likes and don't like
I might be more interested if it was a X rated game with tits and asses only.

I don't even consider there to be a real "GOG community", any more than a Steam community, EA Origin community etc. There are just GOG users here.

Probably the only thing that is common for GOG users is some level of interest in PC gaming and PC games. Other than that, there are wildly different things people want and need. Some like mainly some old DOS games, some like DRM-free, some like newer games (and are possibly also Steam gamers), some like mostly console games but play also some PC games, some like it all etc.

WBGhiro: I only got it recently so i'm still testing everything out a bit, but i'll probably end up with Mercy because of how similar she is to TF2's medic. I also like the tanks Reinhart, D.Va and Roadhog a lot so far.

Figures there's a thread about this already, but since it didn't pop up for the new update I just made a new one. Doesn't really surprise me there's not a lot of people playing on here, but 4 is a bit depressing.
By all means, it's an old thread and you shoudn't have necroed it anyway, I just present it as an additional source of information.

You know what it's like. You start a match and people instantly pick 5 offense heroes, while playing defense. No one wants to play support, and rarely do they want to play a tank. So my most played heroes are Zenyatta, Lúcio and Reinhardt, almost by necessity. Lately I've been trying to play more Mercy, Winston and Mei. So a support, a tank, and a mislabeled tank, kind of the same thing. I do at least enjoy playing as most heroes.

How did you do on the brawl? I haven't tried it yet, but the only heroes available that I've played a significant amount are Hanzo and Soldier, and even then barely, so I'm not sure I'm gonna do so well.

Neither was TF2, it became free to play many years after it got released.

It's kind of a tower defense minigame. Normal is manageable with total randos unless they are complete tards, as long as you can kind of aim with the hero you have you're okay. With hard you need to have follow the guidelines, and the McCree has to carry his weight.

If you kind of want to spoil the surprise, i'll give you some tips for hard mode and how important each character is:

1) McCree, don't play this guy unless you're very confident, winning hard mode is mostly on your shoulders. The key is on using your ult boosted by ana at the right moments, if you whiff it it's likely you'll loose the match. It's advised you take either of the side "lanes". Don't ulti the 3rd reaper, save it for the final wave instead. Keep reapers stunned with your E so they can't wraith. Stay away from Roadhog as his hook will fuck you over. Ana's boost will make you able to one-shot most bosses (or take almost all their health) and clear the whole area. As in the normal game your Fan+roll+Fan combo is devastating.

2) Ana, you're in charge of boosting people and keeping them alive during boss fights and from random shots from the zomnics. As I said earlier it's vital to boost McCree at the right time and keeping him alive. You can help with crow control especially keeping the shooting zomnics at bay. Roadhog and Reaper are vital sleep targets keep them down whenever you can, you can use your grenade agreesively but it's not really that effective try to use it only as a heal, but don't undervalue the damage you can dish out with your rifle.

3) Soldier 76, Your job is crowd control shoot anything that moves and use your sprint to be where you need to be. Since you have a heal you can sort of tank a bit, but don't get too close to bosses. You're also likely to get a boost if Cree doesn't, so keep your ult ready since it can off almost half off any boss' health otherwise use it when you're getting overwhelmed. Your rockets do a fair amount of damage and can take out shooter zonics and Junkrat wheels alike in one shot if aimed correctly. As long as you have good positioning you can play this guy even if you aim's not that great

4) Hanzo is kinf of the fifth wheel on the cart instead of the fourth, his shots do a lot of damage to bosses if you get headshots and your ulti does damge too. Overall it doesn't really make that much of a difference how good you are since your skills are useless in this mode. Try to help by sniping high priority targets like shooters and wheels, and use your ult for crowd control or boss damage when necessary. You can get away with playing a shodd hanzo if the other players are competent.

Well you don't care for World of Warcraft, Starcraft 2, or Diablo 3 or any modern Blizzard game and the only one you do care is an unfinished Warcraft Adventure Game.

See? You do have a friend here.

And even I have to agree that it isn't the worst thing ever, but it's a far cry from good.

But Breja will actually agree with you that it's the best superhero movie in nearly a decade. So why not kiss and make up? And also not come into a thread and start insulting people just because they like something you don't, or don't like something you do.

Yeah I remember that, and I was actually very close to buying it (The Orange Box, as I also wanted Episodes 1-2 for Half-life 2 that I was still missing).

But then I guess I just figured that I am already playing and enjoying Team Fortress Classic, so I didn't really see the point yet to pay for jumping from TFC to TF2. I guess it was good I waited.

However, as I've said elsewhere, it can certainly be argued whether TF2 is free-to-play anymore, ever since the latest big update. Now it has a separate gameplay mode (Competitive) for those who have paid for the game, so the free version is pretty much a restricted version now, and the players have partly been divided into two groups. Or more like, paying customers now have their own "VIP area" where cheapskate peasants are not allowed to enter.

This is one of the reasons I am on the verge of paying something for the game, especially as I am hoping that the competitive mode has less (or no) cheaters, as hardly anyone would be willing to jeopardize their main Steam/TF2 account being banned from the game for good for using something like LMAOBOX (some cheater utility for TF2 I think). With free-to-play it matters less to the cheaters, they just keep making new free Steam accounts if their earlier account gets banned from TF2.

So in that sense it might also be good that Overwatch costs something, as then people are less likely to risk their purchase by cheating.

snowkatt: i think it looks great for its "unblizzard"ness because most blizzard output is drab boring grim dark schlub
Ever played Lost Vikings, Rock'nRoll Racing or World of Warcraft?

Nah, I won't go that far. I do think it's very good, but nearly as good as Man of Steel, and that was just three years ago. I'd probably rate Dark Knight Rises higher too. I still have not seen the Ultimate Edition of BvS, so maybe that will change things.

timppu:
Huh, interesting, been a long time since I played TF2 but I really loved that game hell I only got Overwtch because it's the closest substitute so far. I wasted an insane amount of hours on that game but damn was it fun, most people i used to play it with got burned out on it though I guess and started quitting, and soon the servers I liked closed one after another and I haven't been able to find good ones since, or maybe it just doesn't feel the same without seeing the same faces each week.

Community really changed too, people seemed to be more interested in fucking around and doing stupid stuff than actually play the objectives, at least back when I quit.

Not being free hasn't stopped CS:GO from having loads and loads of hackers.

Even Overwatch has hackers, despite being $40. The only reason it's a much smaller problem there is because they'll IP ban you, so you can't just buy a new copy and cheat again.

Oh thanks. I actually watched about 5 different videos on people beating the brawl already, but thanks. I actually meant more as in how confortable did you feel being forced to play heroes you weren't used to.
