Overwatch

I play in 21:9 and looks perfectly fine to me. Granted I used to play overwatch on ps4 so when I upgraded pc and rebought it I just put it in 21:9 straight away
 
If you're losing the top and the bottom, that's not a big loss. Seeing more of the sides, where the action is more likely to be, is a bigger advantage. Trying to be impartial, I would say they've done the right thing.

For me it's one of the best games I can recall playing. It might not be for you, but it seems like you're only (possibly) detrimentally effecting yourself by refusing to buy it.

I've had it a year and still play an hour or two each night (and I'm not a big gamer) and still love it. It does make a difference if you have people to play with though. If I was solo queuing, I might have stopped playing by now.

I stand corrected about the stretching, however their screenshots look like you see more....horizontally looks identical but vertically for some reason there is a little more showing. Maybe it's just the positioning was not the same.

I have tested it myself, what Misschief is saying is that the exact same FOV is used for 16:9 as 21:9 but then the image is cropped at the top and bottom to make it fit 21:9 without stretching it, exactly like cropping 4:3 video to 16:9. The easiest way to notice what's going on is to look at the weapon in that shot, the bottom of the weapon is cut off.

That was my first thought, for most of the heroes and maps there is not a super amount of verticality.

I guess it's horses for courses. It is a really enjoyable game, my real gripe is that after playing it is that it feels like an F2P game with the loot and micro transaction system. If you want to play F2P Overwatch play Paladins.
 
Just got this today. Have to say it's enjoyable right from the start and I know nothing. Can see where clever tactics could really make a difference. Impressed so far.

Yes it's a lot of fun and gets much better when you can start playing competitive matches IMO.
 
I read earlier that they might make 3v3 and competitive playlist soon. I'm really enjoying the new 3v3 and hope they do make a comp version.
 
Oh wow, 3 on 3 comp would be awesome. I think I would disappear into that.

Mind you, my win rate has taken a dive now I can't main Soldier though it all ;) It's good though, it's got me playing some other chars. I'm getting better at McCree for example.
 
So I actually had a good play of Zenyatta last night, OMG I love this guy.

Healing with this guy is a dream and I love flinging orbs at people's heads, especially enjoyed slaughtering mercy repeatedly :D

I need to get into a group with some people who play often together, played with a good team of people last night in quick play and won a whole bunch of games.
 
I got reported for inappropriate battletag cause I'm not great at widow.

Other People are the best part about multiplayer gaming.
 
I jumped on for the free weekend (I would have gone in on the previous free weekend, but I wasn't sure if my G1820 would be up to the task even with a GTX1050Ti bolted on which it can at really decent settings and can keep 60fps almost all of the time) and I'm now completely hooked enough to spend the £17 for the standard edition (I don't really need all the extras that come with the GotY edition since I don't play those games).

I decided to start off gently against AI enemies and I was just kicking face with D.Va (I also managed to get a 4 kill with a self destruct), but as a Mr Solo once said "going against remotes is one thing, going against the living is entirely different" and while my first (and only since there didn't deem to be that many people playing in quick play late at night) match in quick play mode went well, I didn't end up with a zero death match (I at least only got killed twice during the whole match).

And mode shouldn't make a difference, but I've only ever played quick play.

Modes are very different. Shouldn't matter to what your Battletag no, but you say you got roprted for being bad at Widow, which makes mode more relevant. If I thought someone intentionally picked a bad character and then played them bad, in QP, so what. In comp, sure, I'd probably report.

Don't aim for zero deaths in Overwatch. It's not that type of game.

Go watch some of the best players in the world who play the game for a living on twitch - they die all the time.
