I saw the trailers on the MachinaRealm Channel and was instantly hooked. Looked up the website, read up on all the heros, and signed up for a chance for the beta (coming next year)......I get hooked REALLY fast when I find something I like :)
Necron XCIX7 voteshonestly, i'm hella excited for it. it got me at the gorilla and the robot monk
also, dat cinematic trailer
ModWulf Helhammer4 votesRight! It almost seemed like a movie trailer! For me, my faves were Tracer and Widowmaker, second being Hanzo and Reaper (Bastion coming in third, maybe Reinhardt). I like damage dealers :P
AdderTude2 votesThe guy behind the voice of Winston (the ape)...that guy's my VO teacher.

dood, really?
that's pretty sweet
AdderTude1 votesYeah, it's Crispin Freeman, from Ghost in the Shell, Hellsing, and Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Drunk Rummate4 votesit's blizzard so i wont trust it til it's been out for 2-3 months
they're really good at hyping things up and making them look awesome, then they remove 80% of the content they promised because it's too hard to balance
ModWulf Helhammer1 votesI hope not 
I don't have very much experience with Blizzard though
Drunk Rummate1 votesI hope not
they've basically been this way since they were picked up by activision. they're really good at hyping things up and they have cinematics that are worthy of hollywood. but they have mostly upfront costs to get you to spend now and "enjoy" later, and they usually don't deliver on a lot of what they promise. not saying it will be bad, just saying you should spend your money wisely :)
ModWulf Helhammer1 votesI'm kinda hoping it might be free to play, since it's so similar to games like TF2, although I probably would prefer to pay for the game if it had too many micro-transactions that make it pay-to-win. They haven't announced a business plan yet
MrBuffington2 votesI wouldn't be surprised if there was an upfront cost and micro transactions to unlock new characters. It looked to me like they're planning on releasing new characters since there are a few in images that aren't in the game. They do have a free to play model with Hearthstone, but it's a smaller scale game. At the same time, the game is kind of a team based shooter MOBA hybrid, where TF2, LoL, DOTA2, SMITE are all top dogs, so they might need to make it free to play in order to compete.
ModWulf Helhammer2 votesmaybe an in game currency for unlocking characters? Although what I've read in some news reports form Blizcon is that all the characters are unlocked, since you can switch between them mid-match, whenever you die, so that you can adapt to the opponents strategy.
MrBuffington1 votesIt's possible, sounds a lot like TF2 in that respect.

Now that you mention it, Diablo 3 disappointed a lot of people, didn't it? Hearthstone is pretty good though
MrBuffington1 votesthey're really good at hyping things up and making them look awesome, then they remove 80% of the content they promised because it's too hard to balance
Yea, not sure if I just have a conservative perspective on balance because of LoL, but a lot of what I saw in the trailers so far screamed OP. Still excited to see it come out though, the basic gameplay seems pretty fun, even if a lot of the more ridiculous stuff gets removed
AdderTude2 votesI always thought that they demonstrated the firepower of all those abilities while the test subject was at low health.
MrBuffington1 votesYea I was kind of thinking that too, but there's still stuff like Widowmaker having good mid ranged ability with her rifle and a sniper, which I think is fair to assume is a headshot kill, at least. Generally people with good aim in FPS games become untouchable with a sniper, and she looks like she has good mid range fighting with the rifle, mobility with her hook shot, etc.
There's also Hanzos ult, where it's pretty disappointing if it does no damage, since it's so visually impressive. I guess they could manage the projectile speed and cooldown, but it feels like it might invalidate turret or defense strategies. I guess we'll see when it comes out
ModWulf Helhammer2 votesYeah, I mean mercy has an AOE full revive and a full heal stream/attack boost as her basic attack. I was thinking the same thing about Widowmaker too: number 1 thing about snipers is if you get close to them, they lose a lot of their power when you get close to them. Widow has a midrange machine gun, PLUS a sniper rifle, and mobility. That's pretty OP (So far though, I think the most OP is Mercy, reasons stated above)
MrBuffington1 votesYea, like TF2's Sniper has a SMG, but compared to an actual mid-ranged class like Soldier, he doesn't stand a chance. Widowmaker looks like she can hold her own with most mid-ranged classes, at least from what I remember (and she doesn't need to give up anything or swap weapons to use it; TF2 Sniper will often swap out the SMG for another item).
And yea I forgot about Mercy's ult; considering Tracer's ult is basically a grenade, lol.
Necron XCIX1 votesThere's also Hanzos ult, where it's pretty disappointing if it does no damage, since it's so visually impressive. I guess they could manage the projectile speed and cooldown, but it feels like it might invalidate turret or defense strategies. I guess we'll see when it comes out
one thing that's both really awesome and redonkadonk about hanzo's ult is that is passes through walls. Of course, they don't explicitly tell you that in the normal gameplay trailer, but it's around somewhere on his character page on the site. I'm assuming it'll do good damage, but either way, you can make some pretty stupid awesome plays with that plus his sonic arrow
MrBuffington1 votesCombined with the fact that he can sense enemies through walls, yea, it's pretty redonk
Diode1 votesit looks kewl
gubigubi1 votesBlizzard couldnt make that starcraft shooter Blizzard cant make a good Moba So they combined those 2 failed ideas into one game
Would have been a better pixar movie 6/10
Jungle Lux God1 votesCan't say I'm too excited for it since I'm not really into FPS games, but since it's Blizzard we're talking about I'm sure it will likely be good.
Dracid1 votesi wasnt at first but the more i see it, the better it looks. They take the tf2 formula and expand on it. Seems a lot more fun
imagonized1 votesAhh Blizz ..playing D3 from D3V so I am excited about this game but as I have seen ridiculous support and content designing in D3 " Fingers Crossed "
Conncept1 votesNope, the entire body of gameplay is trinity based, meaning no strategy, no individuality, no interesting builds, plays, and an absolute minimum interaction between opponents.
chumbler1 votesI am cautiously optimistic since the pacing, level design, and movement look good, but their female character designs need work. They all look pretty generic compared to the variety among the male characters. If they avoid having a shitty business model or dumb lol-esque elements like leveling or runes or having to pay/grind to unlock characters, then it could be fun.
Eleshakai1 votesI said this In another thread on the subject... but I'm not excited for it 'cause it's just another first person shooter. Don't really like anything first person so... I'll pass.
