I've been playing a ton of Overwatch the past few days, and I could go on about how it's a super good game, but I really do like how the game icon on your taskbar flashes when you're alt-tabbed whenever you respawn or get revived.

Vermintide also does that when a player joins your lobby, and dark souls 2 does it when you get summoned. Both of those games alt-tab fabulously since they have borderless windowed, so it's really handy.

I would rather believe my teammates are functionally blind, deaf, and unware of what "teammates" and "the objective" are than see it confirmed for me everytime I find myself abandoned on the payload as Rein or chased past several teammates as Mercy.

Videogame characters having enough fidelity to react to their own glitches is always the best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJkCWQcZYKo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-FjEF1p_G4

One of the characters in Overwatch has a freeze gun that operates like a flamethrower but freezes people solid instead. It also has a secondary fire that creates an icicle and fires it. There's a slight delay before it fires because the icicle is being created in the gun. What's cool is when you fire an icicle the 25 ammo is not instantly deducted from your clip, but rapidly ticks down as the icicle is made. Really nice touch i thought.

The fact you apparently can't catch Pokémon when you're going driving speed anymore. The rage is just fantastic

Now wait until they come out with Pokemon Safari, the app that lets you catch Pokemon only at driving speed, and come full circle by having exclusive Pokemon in both that you have to trade.

You must go over 55 miles per hour for the game to open, and stay above that speed to catch Pokemon. If you go below 55, the game closes and you lose all of your progress. POP QUIZ, HOT SHOT!

From day one if you were going above 12 mph your spawns were greatly reduced to prevent having an advantage over walking players, but otherwise it was still functional and pokestops still worked.

She can also encase herself in ice as a way to heal and avoid damage. If someone uses an ability that reveals player positions, you can see her curled up into a ball in her little ice shelter

Tardcore posted:When I was running the game off integrated graphics sometimes it would take a second for the iceblock to load in so I'd just see her sort of floating in a midair fetal position I'm having issues with my computer, so I often get some "hilarious" loading issues. Twice, victory poses didn't load, so every model was in T-pose. Regularly, the "Prepare your defenses/to attack" screen doesn't come up after the map loads and I get booted for inactivity. Sometimes models and sound effects don't load. Anyway, switching to on topic stuff, I love all the little physics toys and dumb things they give you to do during setup if you're on the attacking team in Overwatch. I also love that you see the character's hands move if you do the "Hello" voice command (both in the first-person and in the world). And the dozens of weird little voice line interactions (Jack and Ana talking about being "not-dead", Winston's line about peanut butter, and my favorite: if you have two Tracers on your team during setup, she'll express concern that her temporal stabalizer is not working right.

One of the characters McCree is an old west style gunslinger and his ultimate ability causes him to holster his pistol and say "It's High Noon" then draw his pistol and shoot anyone he has locked onto long enough. What is cool is the game will generate a tumbleweed at his position whenever he uses his ult.

Also, if you have enough targets (like in the current Horde mode, or in practice), McCree can shoot more bullets than his gun can hold in one go, upon activating ult.

Every so often, he'll turn on voice chat and, in McCree's voice, say "It's high noon!" and watch his team scatter.

One cool little thing about Overwatch is that the models have different facial expressions while doing things and their mouths move while calling out ultimates and such. You'd never see it, and other people will only see it if they're super close to you while you're doing an ult (which generally doesn't happen), but it's there.

Aren't the voice callouts in whatever character's foreign language if you're on the opposing team, but in English if it's the same team?

Not for every character, but mostly yes. It's noticeable for Mei, Genji and Hanzo when they pop their ults. Every character has two alternate lines for their Ult; one for when they're on your team and one for when you're about to get your poo poo kicked in.

And maybe Ana, who I don't think has a voice line for her ult that the other team hears?

McCree has "it's high noon" and "step right up" (friendly). Ana has Arabic and English (friendly) lines. In fact, she has two English lines: one for when someone on your team is nanoboosted, the other for when YOU are the one being boosted.
