Should I buy?

Help:

Hello everyone. I've always heard how great Overwatch is, and as I watch Mr. Fruit, it does seem pretty awesome. And it's getting 4k for the X, which I own. My question is though would it be "too late" for a solo player like me to finally get it? None of my friend play it unfortunately, so I'd pretty much just be solo queing in the game.

EDIT: After careful consideration, I decided to buy it! Really excited to play once I get home! Feel free to add me on Xbox if you want to show me the ropes. Gamertag is GinjaNinja0133.

It’s never too late.

It's great - I never play with anybody else and I still have a great time.

Basically the only game I've played for about the last six months.

Get it. Game is going strong. They just dropped like the 5th free new hero. It's the best online game on consoles, solo or not. Lots of people recommend playing Solo in order to place higher in the ladder matches actually.

Its great on ps4 if you're good with shooters such as cod you should go with offensive players and you should be fine im on ps4 otherwise i would have added you to show you the ropes

Darn, would gave been nice. I don't play COD, I'm more into Halo/Gears/Destiny and such.

I'm a bigger fan of shooters like OW because CoD just feels like it's a game of "Who sees Who first" with no chance to defend yourself.

It’s my go to game when Destiny is lacking content and i’m extremely happy with you. You can eventually convince your friends to get it, for the most part I always solo que and have a good time. Xbox one X is also getting a 4k update soon too!

That makes things better. I love my X, so it's always nice to see when more games are getting enhanced for it. I have been needing a grindy game for the same reason, like right now in Destiny 2. So it sounds like a good match for me.

It’s a game you can start at any time, low skill floor. You really don’t need FOS experience, just be open to learning from your mistakes, A LOT. OW was my first FPS ever, and I’m average. Most of the game is gamesense.

Bro, it's never too late to start playing.

I play solo as well, but have managed to find good friends in Overwatch because they thought I was a good player.

I used to play Destiny, until it got stale. For some reason, OW hasn't gone stale. At least not for me.

OW has that satisfaction in killing someone, like Destiny has. But I like OW so much better because you have a level playingfield all the time.
If someone is playing a hero, they have the exact same loadout as you would have if you played that hero. No OP weapon or anything, just skill. And that makes it feel so much better when you outplay someone. They probably know what your hero can do, but they don't know what YOU can do.

Granted, stupid teammates are always a factor. Even if just 1 on your team is bad, it can be the difference between win and loss.

But what do I know? I still think I can kill that Junkrat 1v1 upclose....

Never too late and that whole solo q nightmare is only for comp, play arcade and QP and you'll be fine starting off.
