ThisGenGaming says if you’re looking to get some genuine fun out of a multiplayer game then you can’t go wrong with Overwatch...

The move away from written coverage of games is a problem for journalists and for the games industry.
What we need is a more honest games media. I'm sorry but if you're an outlet in bed with a publisher or getting goodies to attend preview/ review events then you can't be trusted to be objective. Very similar to the need for getting money out of politics.
Basically this. We've seen how the game media turned for the worse after the acceptance of advertising dollars during the 360 era from one particular company. How many websites were willing to sell out for Mountain Dew and Doritos. Accepting $800 Halo Swag bags and expensive Windows laptops to do blogging.
Video sites like game trailers that was willing to lie about PS3 graphics and sometimes, still had the wrong controller image at the bottom on the video. And, turned off comments it deleted them to keep the truth from being told.
That same company twisted certain gamers to a new level of fanboyism. This website was full of them when I arrived. Lying through their noses again and again. Then, that very company started lying or withholding information that showed the truth. That their competitors were selling more worldwide and had better graphics overall. But the damage to the media and a certain group of gamers was done. And, continues to this day. Even after hearing the truth that that company they serve is very destructive to the industry, developers and gamers.
Yeah, and one of that company's former executives OPENLY admitted that. And before anyone says I'm lying:

Also, yeah plenty of people that are here now don't remember when this place was a haven for xbox. You have people like "The Mart at Xbox Kings" push all sorts of propoganda on a daily. But people seem to want to forget stuff like that...
The whole Gamespot/Kane & Lynch thing is one of the best examples and that was 16 years ago.
Yeah, but with people and their short memories, I'm sure a good portion here forgot all about that
Most game journalists are pariahs and low level marketing drones. They got too greedy and cannibalized their respect and trust. Something they learned not to do in their journalism schools. This is why we might as well watch gameplay critics on You Tube. Don't get me wrong, I love reading, but for every genuine article there is a thousand game journalist trying to gloss over monetization schemes so they can sell the game to gamers in order to get free games to do their jobs. It gets old. Even this piece doesn't address the problem.
We need better media in all aspects of society, period. Everything from the gaming press, to MSM is all fueled by clickbait headlines, half truths and buzzword topics that don't give much meat or meaning for the reader to benefit from.

I am loving this game right now. I have it for console and haven't had this much fun playing a multi player game in awhile. Great work Blizzard!
The beta for me was so fun. Need to save up before getting this game.
Gave me a Team Fortress and Splatoon feel while playing.
people will be over the game in no time tho, it's fun and new now but it will be a while before there is enough content to hold everyone's attention. it's like how division was fun for a week till everyone saw how it was the same thing over and over again. different genres I know but I feel it will go the same way.
edit: disagree all you want like everyone did when I said this would happen to the division when the beta was out and everyone was blowing a load about it.

"blizzard will support this like all their other titles" 😂 have you seen the state of world of war craft???? it's gonna been over a year since they added anything to it and the legion expansion is still a few months away. Diablo 3 hasn't had anything worthwhile added since the last xpac either just patches and new items that don't add much.
edit: @negative
I am a pc gamer lol I don't know what console players will do.
The fun factor is high. Even when losing, you have fun.
98 on metacritic right now, I'm sure it wont stay there, will probably settle at around 92 I reckon.
