Overwatch

Notice how OW 2 doesnt feature ages anymore.

Illari iss quite good. Muscle memory with Ana is my biggest hurdle.

You can could easily write it off as your average, everyday review bombing, but one source is currently categorizing it as the 8th most disliked game on Steam, so I suppose this is some advanced review bombing.

It's both that and well players being fed up with Blizzard's bullshit.

It's review bombing however justified you consider the action (I do consider it justified), because that just means people are trying to flood something's reviews to harm the product/company.

Question, you can play OW with heroes and villains on the same team. Why didn't they separate the two?

Make a Support/Offense character fot both sides.

Did you mistype a number or something? A 5-year age difference is basically nothing.

I never said it was a problem? I was just saying that the crush is written as one sided on Pharah's part and Mercy is seemingly being paired with Genji. I am just saying to Pharah / Mercy fans to manage your expectation regarding canon.

Did anyone here buy the PVE missions? I haven't, way too expensive for what they offer.

Ikr. We have to pay $15 for a pve mode? I wouldn't pay $15 just so I can play the pve mode.

Because then they would have to balance the two and that would be a headache. Talon doesn’t have that many characters and they didn’t even get a healer until the second year of the game. There’s also a few characters that don’t fit into either faction like the Junkers and Ashe.

The game may be bad, but the Review Bomb is the reason you can't take the audience ratings seriously anymore.

Mediocre games are basically portrayed as So Bad, It's Horrible

—-

The worst thing about making Review Bomb is that the developers will come to the conclusion that the only reason they have bad reviews is because of a bunch of cry babies, so they won't bother to improve.

On the other hand, if there were more impartial negative critics, they would realize that they did things wrong.

You know Steam just has "Positive" or "Negative" reviews and then the overall rating is based on the proportion of them, right?

Well, that source now claims Overwatch 2 is currently the worst rated game on Steam. Also interestingly, someone claims most of these reviews are in simplified Chinese, so outside of Blizzard's, uh, everything to complain about, Chinese players can also be annoyed about how their progress is gone and they're probably finding the game close to unplayable due to a lack of Chinese servers.

Wow they barely playtested Ironclad

Brig not only has her old ult but also whipshot is bugged and can whiff

Small indie game

Well, you know what all the cool kids are doing right now, so

Her shield not getting big during the ult is actually noted in the patchnotes.

Wow...in my region no one is playing the PVE. (Yes i bought it)

At best, i have found 1 player and the rest had to be filled with bots. NO ONE is playing legendary.

And then i remembered, they removed LFG, so i can't even search for groups in-game.

No wonder this game is getting review bombed. They removed a small feature that could have saved me some time.

On the flipside, i beat underworld Legendary. Keeping my streak of beating the PVE legendary modes

If most people are like me and replaying the mission, they would do the Normal difficulty to unlock all the heroes entries and save time.

Also obligatory complain: Genji is so worthless in this mode since his damage is pitiful. At least Tracer has 300 HP.

Ok, found something really interesting

Posters in Numbani that mention Peru and Samoa. Obviously they are hints, cause we now have Illari from Peru.

Which makes think the next hero is from Samoa. Most likely Mauga from Baptiste's short story.

I hope they have interaction with Roadhog. Roadhog's possibly Samoan / New Zealand heritage isn't really reflected upon beside his skins

So what are the positives and negatives about Overwatch and Blizzard as of right now?

Positives:

Overwatch is still Overwatch, and the base game is free. If you like the game itself, it's still there.

Negatives:

It's being handled like crap, and if you want more than just the bare minimum of the game you're in a very tough situation. By all accounts it's also probably going to get worse before it gets better - if it ever does get better.

The devs revealed the success rate for the Legendary difficulty. Wow. <2% for Toronto and <1% for Gothenburg? At least Toronto has more replay value in changing your team comp.

Found this cute fan animation which looks so good you'd swear it was actually made by Blizzard.

There will be high demand for this to be a real emote.
