Way worse than starting Overwatch for the first time ever
Yeah, i know, i'm harsh.
But this is what i felt. I don't know the game, had zero interest for it but got the message in my inbox that the game started a beta .. why not. So i press play, it gets noisy, i have no fucking clue of what i've just launched .. aand that's it. Okay then, options, graphics, audio, controls .. sure. Main menu, Overwatch feel meets Wildstar style. Still, no fucking clue of what this is. Tutorial ? Something ? A little video, anything ? "This is Battleborn and this is how you play it" ? No ? Okay, geez .. story mode perhaps. Yeah that might do it. Let's do this, then ! I get a video screaming murder, the dumb stuff loops 3 times while kipping fps because it's actually loading then i get to select a character. Just what. But this is Overwatch, really now. Fuck, i'll take this soldier guy, at least he seems easy to handle, it's a soldier, not a support or a tank so i guess that will do. Dropped in the mission ! Go go ! .. go what ? WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING HERE, WHAT IS THIS ? WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO ? WHO THE FUCK AM I ? WHO IS THIS GRUMPY OLD SCIENTIST DUDE AND WHAT IS HE BABBLING ABOUT ? WHAT IS THIS SHIT THAT I AM COLLECTING ? IS THIS A BOOST ? MONEY ? WHY DO I CRIT ? HEADSHOTS ? THIS GUY HAS NO HEAD FOR FUCK'S SAKE !
This is me, being not very good at being dropped in the middle of a game of which i've yet to find the manual on "what the hell is actually happening". Oh, great addition of stuff that pisses me off to no end even yet it's a beta : forgetting azerty keyboards (like those cunts from Bethesda with fallout 4) for when you want to chose talents.
Is it so hard to make a proper tutorial for a game nowadays ? I had zero interest for the game, as i said. I still have none because just this. Don't make an open beta that makes even a small portion of players go "wtf is this".
Because really, Gearbox, wtf is this.
