No Cross-Platform Play for Overwatch in Part Because PC Players Might Have Advantage

@trallisit: It's not really debatable unless you are being pointlessly, stubbornly pedantic about it. You don't need to bring the nature of reality and how we perceive it into this, lol.

@RS13: Nor would they. They'd bitch and cry because "Wah I need to buy a kb/m, and then sit at a table or something to properly play my console fps"

@mattklanks: nope, standard usb, no adapters needed, controls are simply toggled by dev un game. Ps2, ps3, ps4 support it out of the box.

@mattklanks: Dunno PS3 and 4 you can hook up amd play

@mattklanks: is it worth pc players being at disavantage over the auto aim their consoles counter part have ?

@ughz: Can't turn my settings down because I don't even have a PC that can play games any more and since that is a laptop anyway it is not upgradable. I had a PC that could play games at a reasonable level but it has turned to stone now and I have no desire to upgrade.

I've got a PS4 so I'm sorted for the rest of this gen.

I get what you are saying, put an unskilled person on a powerful PC won't make them any better. A person with the skill to put the hardware to good use though will have an advantage.

Better hardware does give you an advantage. Being able to have your resolution higher than average and 120fps allows for much more precise and accurate gameplay. Even hit boxes will be different.

Yes you still have to deal with internet issues, which is my issue. On console you have to deal with that crap as well but on PC you also have to deal with the mismatch in hardware and the fact you need to tweak your graphics to get optimum FPS, it is just a massive hassle.

Just can't be arsed with it. All I want to do is plop down and play some games. Not sit messing with graphics settings for 20 minutes just so the connection lag can cripple my experience instead.

@djschaum5201: Yes it does. Having higher resolution and 120fps makes a difference.

Sure it won't make a terrible gamer better but someone with the skill to take advantage of it will get an advantage over someone struggling to run the game at 720p and 30fps.

At least on consoles EVERYONE is struggling to run the game at 720p and 30fps equally.

@djschaum5201: agreed one of my clan members had a crappy gpu for a while up until recently. He was playing BF4 and GTA5 at like 30 FPS and he wrecked people.

@mattklanks: I meant it was a factor not the EXACT reason every time you die.

All I meant was that having better quality games will give you an edge over someone who is playing on a screen that looks like there is mud smeared on it.

You PC fans are also always banging on about how necessary 1080p is. How it isn't even that impressive any more and 4K is pretty much here. Why even bother upgrading to 2K or 4K at all if it doesn't offer better gameplay?

Higher pixel density means more clarity and much better visuals particularly at long distance. So snipers will have an advantage at 4K over 1080p as one example. Higher fps will make everything smoother and more precise as another example.

You might think 1080p 30fps is fine but I bet if you went 4K 120fps for a short time and got used to it you'd never be able to play at 1080p 30fps again. Why? Because it is simply better.

Though to be fair having a better rig which can include a monitor that supports above 60hz that can most definitely give you an advantage even if it is only a slight one.
