Is Overwatch Blizzard's Next Big Hit?

Poli games host Joseph, gives his first impressions of Overwatch. Blizzard's first attempt at a first-person shooter. Blizzard is known for their series like World of Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo, Heroes of the Storm, and Hearthstone. Will this game be Blizzard's next big IP?

How is everyone enjoying the Overwatch Beta so far? I'm loving it! Right now my favorite character has to be Junkrat, because i'm a terrible person. Who's you're favorite character, if you have one?

[DiscoKid]

It's a tie between Mercy and Symmetra. I really love supporting. I say the game is really solid right now; I don't even play FPS games, but I just love this game.

[Poli_Games]

Same! This game has made tanking and healing actually fun! I'm having a blast so far!

[Perjoss]

I've been super excited sine they announced it at Blizzcon 2014 and got to play it for the first time last night and its even better than I expected. Mercy is by far my fav as I've been playing healer types in every game that gives me that option for about 10 years now :)

[xfiles2099]

I hate it glad there was a beta saved me money not my type of game

[Ricegum]

Wouldn't you have realised that by seeing the teasers and trailers etc? It was pretty clear how the game was going to play.

[Bluemaster77]

This game is pretty awesome. I had no idea I'd like it so much. Genji??(The Ninja), And the Guy who looks like Erron Black are currently my favorites.

[ShadowKnight]

Great beta

[Poli_Games]

It really is! Who's your favorite character so far?

[ShadowKnight]

Mercy

[Kalebninja]

The game's a lot more addicting than I thought it would be, I'm hooked.

[Poli_Games]

Yeah, i've been playing an unhealthy amount! Do you have a favorite character?

[Kalebninja]

Still getting use to everything but right now my main Bastion, I've been dominating with him.

[Tripl3seis]

The beta is pretty awesome so far my favorite characters are phara and tracer but I'm willing to try other characters loving it so far.

I hope it's the next big thing, watching the story of overwatch on the gamespot youtube channel, it's refreshing to see that their inspiration for Overwatch was games like Half Life DM, Action Quake, Team Fortress. For me, the fun element seems to have gone from most FPS games nowadays, it's all about stroking that k/d e-peen, for something like Overwatch to come around where it's literally 100% teamwork based, is such a welcomed change, it'll definitely be in my rotation of games that I frequently play that's for sure.

[Poli_Games]

Totally agree with you! There are some characters, like Parah, that make me feel like im playing doom or quake, and then Junkrat makes it feel a bit more like Team Fortress. Ugh this game is so great, why am i here?! Im going back to playing it now! xD

[Budobear]

I've played mostly as Raven and love it. I'm not sure if it's me the character or the game though as I've got 30 odd killstreaks in my first few matches?

[theshredded]

Will be Huge on PC but not so much on Console. The console market's dominated by aaa shooters and exclusive ones. I don't think fans will even try. Just look at battleborn. Not saying new shooters Ips can't survive, but they have to be something very impressive.
This might cater to and attract a lot of kids which is a much better choice than COD and BF...I think PVZ 2 sold pretty well. I'm still waiting for Paragon though as my mp game of choice for the summer, there's a reason PlayStation chose it to end the PSX Conference.

[lelo2play]

Yep, probably another hit for Blizzard, but.... I'm not purchasing it. It's just another online shooter among 100's out there. Getting fed up of these games.

[KilluaX3]

Have you tried it? :O

[lelo2play]

Played the beta on PC for about a hour... meh... wasn't impressed. Blizzard added a couple of new things, but, in the end, it's just another online shooter.

[slappy508]

Oh man this video has me hyped now, I'm gonna try the beta!

[Poli_Games]

Thank you! I'm glad i was able to get you hyped up!

[slappy508]

10/10 for explaining the basics of this game, I thought it was just an arena shooter but there so much more to it! And i dont even like shooters, which is why I never really paid attention

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

Yes. Already put almost 10 hours in the PS4 beta.

Probably be the best game on PS4 this year along with Persona 5(If it comes this year in America)

[Poli_Games]

Ooo damn! Shoots fired! What about Uncharted 4? :P

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

I don't care about Uncharted. Never like it on PS3 or Vita.

[Ozmoses]

I've played the beta for about a total of 2 hours now. I'm having a blast. I went out and pre-ordered it (PS4)

I've been really digging Soldier 76 but I still have to play around with everyone else.
