Higgins and I have gotten back on Overwatch lately, anyone else still playing? If so hows your competitive rank lookin? 

 

I know I'm still playing, we actually played a round of competitive for our YT channel last week. (Me, Yeah, ADV) I still very much think Overwatch is a great experience, the arcade makes it very easy to put weekly time into it and get a few extra loot boxes. My competitive rank isn't great, I haven't played seriously in competitive since the start of the season. But I'm almost lvl 100 so that is a plus.  You guys probably play on Xbox though don't you?

Yeah we have Xboners, just started playing again so we won't get to put much time into this season either as I think it ends fairly soon

Don't have a rank, but from this clip in this video I took during the Overwatch stream me, @Advantage and @Devise did, the correct answer to that is that we are the most competitive.

I beat much of it a year or so back when it released on PS Vita. I enjoyed it mostly for it's rogue like elements, not as big on the dual joystick shooter top down control scheme. But if you like that you should start googling around haha there is SO MUCH out there now in terms of similar things. The rouge like space in general, even the dual joystick space. Hell even those elements combined. 

 

@YEAH!stlemania I've actually had some decent success with him lately too, although playing random heroes you end up having good runs with lots of heroes you don't normally play. One of the things I found out about Torb is that just planting the turret and repairing it isn't the only way to play lol. He has a rather underrated firearm that arcs really well from a range perspective. It shoots like a mortar honestly. And people assume your going to be repairing the turret so once they see it and you near it it gives you easy opportunities to then hide, move, flank, and catch them off focus.

Yeah I know rogue-like dungeon crawlers are all over the place, it's all Steam recommends to me nowadays after putting nearly 600 hours into it.

 

It's funny, I was falling out of interest in it but then I found a character editor that made unlocks a lot easier, so I was able to unlock some of the cooler items like godhead. It's funny how much of a stink the community makes about this though, they really care about how much this 'dilutes' the achievement pool, but I'd rather not spend a year and a half getting good enough to do the character that can't get hit without dying.

 

Nowadays any day I can't play the game I watch youtube videos on it, and I haven't been able to go more than like 3 days without doing at least one run.

I'd had no Overwatch achievements in forever, then got two in the same match  (The Bastion 3 configs one and the Reinhardt 3 different attacks on same guy)

I'm thinking the Pajodcast crew needs to look at streaming some of it tbh. None of us have played it but it looks tense and dope as hell. Really putting an actual game mode around the whole DayZ survival trope genre imo.

[Tagger 2,722]

So myself, @Devise and @Advantage were playing some extra Overwatch having finished a stream up with @Jericho for the Pajodcast channel and we had this INSANE Mercy Play of the Game by @Devise!

We've had some MLG pro moments for sure.

[TurnDaddy 323]

I wish I was good at this game, but alas, like most games, I am trbl. 

 

But they're fun, and that's what counts right? Right?

6v6 Lockout Eliminations now on Overwatch, shit just got real!

[.sniffuM 1,741]

I just copped DBXenoverse 2. Not really much of a pvp guy when it comes to video games so we'll see how much I enjoy it.

[Tagger 2,722]

Just got the D.Va achievement for killing tons of people with one self-destruct, funny thing was I set it up to explode in the slo-mo after the game was lost, and I hear "QUINTUPLE KILL!" and the acheivement notification pop-up while it's telling me that it's 1-0! 

[Sandro 251]

Everyone still loves them some Overwatch, eh?

 

Let's take a break from that. I'm 52 hours in and think I'm only about halfway done with the game, but Persona 5 is GOTY hands down right now. If you like JRPGs, play it right now. If you don't like JRPGs, play it because it definitely changed my mind about them.

It's an awesome game, I completed it a couple of months ago and it was definitely worth the wait (had been following it since they first announced it was releasing Winter 2014 haha!). If you like 5, once you've completed it you should definitely consider giving Persona 4 (preferably Golden which is on the Vita or PS TV if you have either of those) a go if you haven't already. While it's a bit of a step-down in the game-play department (battles don't have quite as much to them and the dungeons aren't as fleshed out as they are in 5), I would say story and character wise it's even better than 5 is (Persona 4 Golden is actually my favourite game of all time). Persona 3 is also pretty good, but that's a lot harder to go back to because there's no way to control party members in battle (that was only available in the PSP version).

[Gooningitup 1,290]

I just picked up persona 5 today, def not GOTY, but amuzing 

[Tagger 2,722]

Took me more games than I was anticipating (124 games in total!) but I finally made it up to platinum in Overwatch Competitive. Been maining D.Va as of late and it's going really well, her defense matrix is really underrated as to how well it can just shutdown someone's ultimate!

we need more pubg players tbqh
