J Station X: Overwatch officially introduces a gender non-conforming character, but the reveal is far from flawless as some fans raise issues with Blizzard's methods.
The world could always use a few more heroes, or in this case friends. Here are some Overwatch Heroes you would want to hang out with.
Blizzard's blending of the FPS and MOBA was a masterpiece of design that met its end too soon.
I miss 6v6, lootboxes and an actual player level. I used to look forward to Junkenstein's Revenge at Halloween and the Christmas event cause of all the cool cosmetics you could earn. I'd play it every day. Now you play it for an hour, earn some stupid charm, and you're done. No reason to play anymore.
RIP OW2 is trash. My friends stopped playing it like we used to the first one every Friday night.
this. loved overwatch 1. 2 is no fun. there is lots to play… find something you like.
I'd never thought I would say this but the loot boxes in Overwatch wasn't so bad compared to what it is now.
I remember those epic dreamworks-like CGIs. I wasn't a fan at all but man, I knew it was a rediculously huge game. OW2 I've seen...nothing, died maybe after a week.
OW2 is a disaster. All these years to make the game 5v5….? And they scrapped PvE? The game just sucks man zero fun.
Activision has admitted that its Call of Duty and Overwatch eSport Leagues are facing challenges that the company might fail to address.
Ha ha these have been in trouble fort awhile so now we talk about it/address it?
How about you explain why you make billions but always have layoff's.
The timing is strange but COD has been on a nosedive for several years & then followed by the backlash of Overwatch 2.
COD has literally never been more popular. Every single year it sells more and more copies than the previous year. Don't know what you mean by nosedive.
@sadraiden
It has taken a nosedive in quality.
However, as you based your argument on sales numbers, let's take a dive, shall we?
"COD has literally never been more popular"
COD has literally been more popular.
See: MW2 sales numbers estimate to be at 8million copies sold at the end of 2022 (no official numbers released) yet Black Ops (2010) sits at a staggering 31million copies sold.
"Every single year it sells more and more copies than the previous year"
Again, not true.
(In release order)
Black Ops - 31 million copies
Modern Warfare 3 - 30 million copies
Black Ops 2 - 29 million copies
Ghosts - 28 million copies
Advanced Warfare - 21 million copies
Black Ops 3 - 26 million copies
Infinite Warfare - 13 million copies
WWII - 19 million copies
Black Ops 4 - 14 million copies
MW2019 - 30 million copies
Cold War - 30 million copies
Vanguard - Unreleased sales numbers
MW2022 - No solid numbers yet, though as above - 8 million estimated as of end of 2022
As you can see "every single year it sells more and more copies than the previous year" is an inaccurate statement with the sales numbers fluctuating, though I do feel MW2022 would sell well over the course of the year.
This timing isn't that weird. eSports are notorious money sinks, and organizations have been failing one after another the past few months as funds dry up and popularity wavers. Critical who is one of the runners of his own eSports organization has been extremely candid about the fact that there's really no money to be made, and a lot of suits that had their companies throw money at the concept are just starting to give up and move on.
They really dropped the ball with COD ever since WW2 I’d say.
Year after year it’s just disappointment after disappointment and it only got worse with Warzone and MW2019 - seasonal progression, battle pass, goofy skins, not listening to player feedback, you name it.
Call of duty was only good when they were WWII. Activision should go back to how they started. Also, they can make the single player stories longer. Not everyone plays the multiplayer.
A lot of people here couldn't even read the headline. This isn't about the games themselves, it's about the esports leagues.
If people don’t like playing the games as much, then why would they want to watch other people play it?
I don't mind stuff like this if it's done naturally but the thing with Blizzard they try to "be cool" and "hip" so they do these things for the sake of it
Tracer being gay, Symmetra apparently being autistic, this...surprised they haven't made Zarya a trans male at this point
It's like they read all these theories on Tumblr and go "Urm...yes...YES that's EXACTLY what we were going for" then make it official.
Just make everyone bi, problem solved
Might as well make it a potatoe
Wouldn't a gender "non conformist" be like a robot or something??
There's no such thing as non-binary gender, so I guess this fits in a sci-fi game.
