Overwatch 2 Is Just 'Overwatch' Again And Five New Heroes Arrive Next Week
-
Being a rehash/continuation of the same game was the case since Overwatch 2 came out as they dropped the PvE plans, so it wouldn't be news.
Right, which is why I thought it was weird there was an article being published about it and assumed it was untimely drivel since the game was released in 2022. Again, it didn't make sense to me as posted and I had to click into the article to sort it out.
All that to say, it wasn't abundantly clear to me just based on the title of the post.

I took a long break from overwatch after the release of overwatch 2, but they have been made some big changes that have brought me back.
No more heros locked behind battle passes, free loot boxes, 6v6, great performance, sound design and the new perk system is nice. The game is more balanced than it ever was as overwatch 1, even it it's still not perfect.
I don't agree with everything, paid skins are absurdly expensive, and heros do seem designed to sell skins, but that's really not new either.
You seem knowledgeable about modern blizzard. What are the women who work there saying about equality? Would the breast milk thing happen again today?
-
why does this game ask for my phone no. to play?
Activision does that with all their games now.
It’s the reason I won’t buy a new COD game.

I wouldn't know anything about that, but with respect to the overwatch team, they don't seem to be implicated in that controversy.
I can't imagine the fight for equality in game dev is over, but at the same time I haven't heard anything particularly controversial. If you have other evidence of wrong doing do let me know.

Is Nanoblade genji back yet? That's the reason I left for the final time
Well Ana now has a perk that gives speed boost to nano. That combo has always been good, but with that it would be even better.

man, games are taken so seriously these days that they resort to smurfing.

What if someone made the hytale of terraria?
I mean, there's already Starbound...

Well, there might've been some change that made it even more like the original, which could've prompted such a title either way...

But not Global Offensive.
Global Offensive is still playable (at least the core gameplay) in the csgo_legacy branch of CS2 on Steam.

Huh, thanks.

"Jetpack cat"? Really? That desperate, huh?

Overwatch is close to being a decade old btw.
It’s so unfortunate what they did to Overwatch, wonder how Jeff Kaplan and the original Team feels about all that.
As great as Jeff was, he's the one that did all the stuff to Overwatch.
As far as I've heard/read he was never really interested in making a PVP game, he wanted to make Titan, the MMO. Then he got another chance with OW2 and the PVE mode, and even got an offer to make a separate dev team that would focus on PVP, so he could put his all into PVE, but declined, so the game was left to die (even though it never really died). Then PVE in OW2 was a bust again and he left.

It's been that way for a long time. The term smurfing, I think, originated with Warcraft II.

What if someone made the hytale of terraria?
The reason Hytale exists is and is popular is because outside of exploration (and creative mode) Minecraft kinda sucks. The combat is boring, the enemy variations (including bosses) are pretty limited, the survival element is trivialized within the first hour of the game, the progression is weird (to put it nicely). There's so much to improve over Minecraft that something like Hytale or Vintage Story (which goes so far in the other direction that a comparison with Minecraft or Hytale becomes pointless) can exist.
The same isn't true for Terraria. Terraria has taken its originally simplistic combat and turned it into something relatively deep with different classes all with their own unique twist to combat. The enemy variations are through the roof with not only different types of enemies depending on the biome but also depending on your progression. And the progression is the core of the game. The reason to play is to get good gear to beat a strong boss to get better gear to beat even stronger bosses. And finally there's variety in building, automation and fishing. Terraria is a far more complete game than Minecraft which is why you're never going to see the Hytale of Terraria.
Terraria does its thing so well you can't just take everything Terraria does and do it better. You can only take things Terraria does well and do something different with it, like Core Keeper, Don't Starve or Valheim. If you try to take everything Terraria does but do it bigger and better you're going to end up with Starbound.

It was an a****** dude that no one wanted to play against in high-ranking ladders because everyone knew his name because he was a f****** a******.
So he made two accounts. One called Papa Smurf and the other smurfette. Then proceeded to s*** on low-ranking. Players made fun of them and was he general a****** till everyone learned those names and started avoiding him as well.
Smurfing since its inception has been fundamentally something only assholes do where this whole purpose of being an a******.
Ranked systems only work if everybody only has one account. It's also why most games restrict you to only one account for ranked purposes.

I gave up on this game a long time ago. It took me longer than it should've to realize that "old blizzard" is gone and not coming back.
Years for me. I spent years before realizing that I'm never getting a good matchmaker

Oh, I have never heard of that. Also forgot that he was still around when OW2 launched. Still believe it sucks big time to see a project go down this route especially after being such a big success. It might not be dead, but it definitely is just a shell of its past.

just play TF2
or marvel rivalsat this pointedit: maybe TF2 Is the better option(and its mods)

Smurfing was probably a side-effect. I remember their main reasoning was to ban people who trash talk in voice comms/chat so they cant just create new account using same number.

TF2 is a different game and Rivals is definitely not as good in areas that matter like gameplay and maps
