You didn't hear it from me first, but Overwatch 2 is not Overwatch 2. It is Overwatch 2.0, a free-to-play rejig of the celebrated 2016 hero shooter with rebalanced characters, a sprinkling of new faces, modes and maps, and a predictably tedious seasonal Battle Pass system whereby unlocks are either paid for or ground out through match XP.
Overwatch 2's newest update for Season 10 comes with big changes and additions to the game's competitive matchmaking and progression.
Blizzard Entertainment has recently announced the discontinuation of the Hero Mastery Gauntlet mode in Overwatch 2.
They will probably focus 100% on the pvp because if Marvel Rivals steals their spot it will be very hard to recover it
Marvels IP roster is much more interesting than overwatch's... and I'm willing to bet a better developer than actvision/blizzard. If Rivals has a PvE mode its over.
Microtransactions have gotten ridiculously overpriced in recent years, with titles now offering cosmetic skins worth more than some games.
There never was, the only time I paid for a microtransaction was on Blacklight Retribution (PS4) and it was because I enjoyed the game a lot so I felt the devs should get something for all that entertainment (€5 "membership")
I couldn’t believe what Blizzard charged for horse armor and cosmetics in Diablo 4…
I remember back in the day when a season pass was $15 and you got everything included in it. Now, I see them at $60 and you still don’t get everything.
As soon as gaming wasn't deemed nerdy anymore, and reached the casuals this happened. We're smart, but casuals play mobile games and other stuff, and don't really have anything to compare. They think gaming is supposed to be like this and pay for in game purchases.
Just play Paladins if you want a F2P game that is about the same as Overwith but does a much better job. 😁
As a long term player. there is nowhere near enough to justify calling this a sequel. It's a reboot at best. I spent a lot of time in beta playing but it never captured what drew me to the game in the first place. I'm hopeful we will get their in the sequel as it just scratches an itch no other FPS has managed for me but this is definitely not a sequel, it's a 1.5.
I seriously didn't even know this released today, how underwhelming!

I can’t even log into the shit because it keeps telling me I need to add my phone number to my account which it already is. Ridiculous….
