Redeem Code: 10 Things Overwatch Players Hate

Posted on by Richard Griever

Overwatch has been an undeniable success in the past month and there’s really no sign of it stopping any time soon. As much as we all love Overwatch here at Steambuysell, there are still some things that make us boil uncontrollably with rage as we sail through match after match. Also, redeem code.

Below is a nifty little vid outlining some of the more general things we all tend to hate:

Overwatch: MEI IS NOT BAE

Screw Mei. Seriously. Apart from that, there are only a couple of things I agree with because some of the other issues the creators of the video present are a bit nitpicky and on the “L2P” side of things. But my biggest agreement with the video is that lack of a story campaign. I truly love the multiplayer and esports panache it has, but a lot of the love for this game from fans is their fascination with the characters and world of Overwatch.

We all want to know about Tracer, her history, current well-being, and possibly her dating history. We want to see what really happened with the Shimada brothers in the past and their current relationship, as well as if it’s true that the Shimada’s are the onry ones to contror the dragons. And what about the other heroes that haven’t been in the animated spotlight yet? The hell does Mei actually do? Is she really chubby under that coat? Or does she just have a ridiculous bust size? Why does Zarya look like a random Tumblr girl? Is there something going on between Mercy, Soldier 76, and Reaper? Love triangle, maybe? Did they ever have a threesome? The questions are endless in that regard and, hopefully, Blizzard can answer them soon through either more animated shorts or, even better, a full fledged story mode campaign in the near future.

Overwatch is an amazing game and has even more potential in the future. Let’s hope that Blizzard knows what they’re doing and continue to improve upon this already stellar IP.

Redeem Codes: Battleborn Vs. Overwatch

Posted on by Richard Griever

Forget Team Fortress 2, Dota, and LoL; the real competitors are Battleborn and Overwatch as they’re both new IPs vying for a good spot in an increasingly competitive esports scene. Battleborn is developed by Gearbox studios, the same developers of the Borderlands series, while Overwatch is a new and original IP from Blizzard of World of Warcraft fame.

They’re both shooters, yes, and they’re both intrinsically similar, but at the same time, play completely differently.

Redeem Codes: The Key Differences

 

  • Overwatch

Let’s start with Overwatch. Why start here? A bias? Maybe. But it also has something to do with how dead simple the game is. I don’t mean that as an insult or a compliment; but merely a statement of fact. It’s a team-based shooter that takes its roots from traditional 90’s shooters like Doom, Half Life, Quake, and, of course, Team Fortress the mod. It naturally takes inspiration from Team Fortress 2 and Blizzard freely admits that.

In terms of gameplay, it’s what you’d expect a shooter to be, but the real clincher in Overwatch is its solidly colorful cast of characters that are simply too attractive to ignore. With each hero having their own skills and abilities, each hero plays uniquely and fit roles that have to synergize well with a team. And, you know, that’s pretty much it about Overwatch.

It has some great lore, fantastic characters, and superbly fun gameplay that has been inspired from the tried-and-tested classics of the 90’s. There’s really no way to go wrong there.

  • Battleborn

Battleborn, on the other hand, can be very complicated. Calling itself a “hero shooter,” Battleborn sports also a ton of unique heroes that follow in the same vein as Overwatch, but has more skills, much more akin to a Moba than a team based shooter. If anything, the game is very similar to Smite, a 3rd person Moba with a similar concept. Battleborn also has single player and non-competitive cooperative modes coupled with an account and hero progression. Compared to Overwatch, Battleborn certainly has more to do than competitive matches.

However, the only problem with the game is that it tries to be a lot of things at the same time. It’s trying to be an MMO, an FPS Moba, a team based shooter, and a generic shooter campaign all at once. It then becomes hard to pinpoint what it actually wants to focus on, making it harder to be taken seriously as an esport unlike Overwatch’s committed single mindedness.

Redeem Codes: What’s better?

Well, you decide! They both are good at what they do and will certainly attract specific crowds. If you like the Moba format, best to go Battleborn redeem codes, but the iffy jack of all trades concept it has going may make it hard to have an Esports future. Choose Overwatch redeem codes if you want something more stable competitively, but it does lack other content apart from the competitive aspect. Both games are great, to be honest, and it will only matter what you find more enjoyable.

Steam Codes: Things To Remember in Every Overwatch Match

Posted on by Richard Griever

Getting into a new game is always daunting, especially when it is competitive in nature like League of Legends, CS:GO, DotA, and, of course, Overwatch. Unlike MOBAs of today’s popularity, Overwatch isn’t exactly the same, but nevertheless cut from the same cloth. It’s an FPS MOBA (yes, it’s a MOBA, deal with it), that has more to do with player skill, team composition, and team synergy than anything else right off the bat. You can’t exactly carry in by yourself in Overwatch, but you can certainly have the most impact in a game that controls the flow to inevitably be in your favor. No Steam redeem code is ever going to make up for that knowledge.

With this said, a lot of newbies, unfamiliar to the very nature of Blizzard games, regardless of how pro they are with shooters in general, are caught off guard when they first start off in Overwatch. There are four (4) roles to be had in Overwatch and these are Offense, Defense, Tank, and Support. Offense characters are generally the high-damaging heroes that have all the tools to decimate and obliterate opposing heroes. Straight up the kind of DPS role you’d expect in MMOs. Defense heroes, while not slacking in the offensive department, are more suited to control the battlefield with their many debilitating skills that can kill opponents outright, deny areas to the enemy team, or create impenetrable choke points to hinder the enemy’s progress. Tank heroes are those that specialize in being as tough as they can be, being able to take a buttload of damage and defending their allies from hostile attacks. Finally, we have the Support role that has heroes that focus on healing and buffing allies, or debuffing enemies to make it easier for them to go down.

Steam Codes: All About the Balance

Every team needs a proper balance in Overwatch or else you may be looking at an instant wipe for every team clash. 3 Reapers and 2 Genjis aren’t exactly going to get you anywhere. There’s always a need for at least one tank and one support hero, preferably a healer like Mercy or Lucio, and pretty much anything else. Like in other holy trinity games, the tank and healer are the pivotal and indispensable roles in every group. Without them, all you will have left are Offense and Defense characters that are quick to die from opponents who are well taken care of by their own tank and healer.

The point? You’ll hardly ever win with Offensive characters purely. Sure, there are going to be some of those instances where a tank-less and healer-less comp will be much more viable when fighting a specific enemy team composition, but you better know the rules first before you break them. Still pretty sad that there aren’t any Steam codes or Steam CD Key for Overwatch though. But, we can certainly dream.

Being a Hero and the Balance in Overwatch! – Redeem Codes for Your Xbox One and PS4

The true crème de la crème of Overwatch is in its gorgeous lore and tantalizing plethora of heroes. With all the marketing of Overwatch, it’s kind of hard to say that you don’t know Tracer or Widowmaker, two heroes with the most screentime. But the other characters in Overwatch are fantastically made as well, evoking a great sense of interest upon seeing them. A notable example would be D.Va, a robot mech controller that uses her mech as both a tank or an offensive powerhouse to decimate the opposing team. Another two would be the brothers made famous by the animated short, Dragons, Hanzo and Genji. Hanzo, the archer, acts like a heavy duty sniper that provides amazing covering fire for his allies, the ability to scale walls, and control the flow of combat overall. Genji, on the other hand, is a swift, close quarters combatant that can decimate nearly any other hero with a strike from his sword and a very awesome ability to reflect most incoming projectiles. And I do emphasize the word swift.

But let’s not get bogged down in only the offensive heroes. Tanks and support have a greater role in the concept of team-based shooters here in Overwatch. D.Va was already mentioned and counts as a tank, but a better example of a true blooded tank would be Reinhardt that has a limited melee attack but sports a massive and movable plasma shield that serves as mobile cover for his allies, not to mention also being obscenely tough on his own. Mercy, the most popular support character, can switch her weapon to either healing or damage boost, depending on the situation, and can resurrect allies within her vicinity with her ultimate skill.

Quite frankly, It’s been quite some time since I’ve encountered an arena game that have all characters balanced right off the bat. Remember that Overwatch is still in its launch week and folks still haven’t found any glaring defects concerning the balance between characters. While there are some heroes that seem to have stark advantages over others, like between Tracer and McCree, remember that all characters have their own roles and that a specific character might not be within the purview of your personal playstyle. Tracer is played more as an assassin and excels in subterfuge rather than direct and active conflict. McCree is a mid-ranged combatant that excels at eliminating opponents the fastest way possible. You can’t really play McCree like Tracer that zips all across the battlefield in the blink of an eye expecting to elude the enemy front liners without getting shot at. In the same way, you can’t really play Tracer like McCree where she can take on opponents head on. She’ll just end up getting one-shotted.

The variation of style and uniqueness in Overwatch’s heroes is amazingly well done. No matter who you are, whether you like shooters or not, almost every hero in the game’s roster will be appealing for you, especially moreso with them bursting at their seams with personality. The characters in Overwatch alone make it worth getting an Xbox redeem code, a PSN redeem code, or a PC redeem code.

Overwatch Review Part 1 – Hype! – Steam Codes

Posted on by James Young

Disclaimer! I am in no way a fan of shooters in general, much less FPS MOBAs or team based shooters like Overwatch and Team Fortress 2, or whatever you want to categorize them as. So this is going to be in the perspective of a gamer that does not at all hold any hype for the genre.

While there aren’t any Steam Codes for Overwatch, it’s still the most hyped game right now and isn’t slowing down at all. Now, even I, as I said earlier, am not a fan of shooters, but Overwatch has caught me hook, line, and sinker from the trailers and animated shorts alone. But, of course, I had my own share of healthy skepticism considering that the game had nothing past its MMO PvP-like arenas. I was attracted to the lore and the very existence of its characters, so why would a non-shooter gamer ever pick it up? Well, my curiosity and want to involve myself with the characters and Overwatch’s world was enough to spur me to buy the game. Again, it doesn’t have a Steam CD key, so that added to my initial reluctance as I only ever play Steam games. Hesitantly, I picked up the game a few days ago and I was even thinking that I was going to regret the purchase. I’m glad that I was wrong.

Steam Codes: The Core of Overwatch

Overwatch, at its beginning, assumes that you are a nub in all things shooter. This is true in my case and the brief tutorial, with the help of Athena, Overwatch’s own sentient computer, and the very lovely Tracer, ran me through the basics once more just to make sure I wouldn’t make a fool of myself in a real match. Blizzard really put a lot of thought into making the game accessible to every because this intention is extremely pronounced with how simple it is to understand how your hero works and how to do mechanics in a match. The best noob-friendly thing in the game is never running out of ammo. Yes, you do run out of ammo in your clip and will have to reload eventually, but you don’t need to go rummaging throughout the arena for clips if your reserves run low because, well, it’s infinite in Overwatch. You can’t ever run out of steam.

After going through the extremely basic tutorial of Overwatch, I immediately headed into quick play mode where I found a match in no less that 5 seconds. There are tons of people playing this game right now, so there isn’t any issue in getting a match. Once in, the objectives are very clear, simple, and to the point. Every arena right now only has objective capturing and nothing else. While that does sound weak for a game this hyped, I assure you that it simply isn’t the case. There are 3 kinds of objective capturing in Overwatch; King of the Hill style, Base capturing, and Payload delivery. All these mechanics merely involve one of your team mates to stand in the highlighted area to capture it. A capture stops and becomes contested when a player of the opposing team steps into the area as well.

King of the hill is as simple as can be; capture the target area before the timer runs out and you win the game. Base capturing varies on the team you’re on. The attacking team, randomly chosen, needs to capture both base points in the arena before the timer runs out to win. The defending team, on the other hand, has to prevent these base points from the attacking team and, in order to win, has to run the clock to zero. Lastly, Payload delivery focuses on bringing a movable objective from point A to point B. This is true for the escorting team that has to remain by the side of the payload in order for it to move. The more players near a payload, the faster it will move. The defending team in this game has to stop the payload from reaching its destination. They can do this by, of course, wiping out the enemy team enough so that they don’t ever get to move the payload, and by moving the payload the opposite direction themselves simply by standing close to it or on top of it.

As you can see, while the mechanics may be inherently similar, the variation of this single objective capturing mechanic gives Overwatch a lot of flavor all on its own. With 12 varied maps with their own interesting twists, turns, and secret accessways, there’s really no end to the fun that can be had in Overwatch. Now if only it had Steam Keys, I’d much better prefer playing on Steam than on Battle.net…

Redeem Code: The Overwatch Hype is Real

Posted on by James Young

With Overwatch coming so close to release at the time of this writing, it’s hard to ignore how incredibly popular the IP is considering that it hasn’t even been released yet. Then again, it shouldn’t be surprising considering that the company behind Overwatch is Blizzard Entertainment, the same company that created the Warcraft series, a niche strategy game, and transformed said game into a decade-long MMORPG sensation. They were also behind the popularity that is Diablo, Starcraft, and Hearthstone, with the less successful Heroes of the Storm in tow.

Redeem Code: The Overwatch Hype is Real

Some may say that the Overwatch hype is nothing more than the standard, run-of-the-mill hype, but the beta statistics will show that it’s a bit more than that, with thousands of Beta Overwatch redeem codes already used. But let’s not get bogged down in number crunching and whatever since the game hasn’t even been released yet. Instead, let’s look at the massive, yet still budding, community of Overwatch. A simple google search will immediately net you thousands upon thousands of fan artwork, cosplay, fan coverage, and all sorts of other homages to a game that is yet to be released. That is, immediately, power to the game that no other has been able to manage. The Overwatch IP’s state right now is as if it has existed for years upon years with a large following of loyal fans that have grown up with it. It’s like freaking Star Wars. But, again, it’s not eve released to the general public yet!

We’ve got to hand it to Blizzard as they know how to market a game. Everywhere I look, adverts about Overwatch are everywhere, but not the kind of advertising that gets super annoying. They put out quality trailers and animated shorts that get word of mouth going around and the fans themselves share it across social media. This is a phenomenon that no game has ever seen before and I suspect the momentum of this hype will keep on going. Take me, for example; I simply ABHOR FPS and MOBAs in general, but the lore of Overwatch, through its many interesting characters, animations, and hullaballoo about it have piqued my interest enough to pick up the game. Compound the fact that Blizzard claims Overwatch to be both noob-friendly and challenging for shooter vets makes it all the more appealing. This hype, as far as anyone can tell, is as real as real can be and the game will be a real contender in the Esports scene. When the game finally drops, I can only look forward to how it will grow and evolve. Our watch begins now.

Watch out for promotions for PSN Redeem Code, Xbox Redeem Code, and even PC Redeem Codes in various sites or cheap promotions in marketplaces for Overwatch.
