Overwatch 2 Is Just 'Overwatch' Again And Five New Heroes Arrive Next Week
-
This is salt in the wound for my friends who miss launch Overwatch.

Still dead to me.

I think I actually took psychic damage reading that. Just... why.

Isnt every sequel "just the previous thing again?"

Headline is a poor attempt at saying they are renaming it to just 'Overwatch' without the 2.

I'm right there with you. I miss having 6v6 with like half the characters they have now (so I can actually learn them all), with Jeff Kaplan keeping me excited to play. What a fun time that was.

Diablo and Diablo 2 entered the chat.

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.

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.
-
It is kinda hard to call yourself a sequel when you're basically the same exact game and literally the original game doesn't even exist anymore.
I do not like that I paid for Overwatch 1 but now only have Overwatch 2.

Not good sequels, no.

No thanks. I have 1000 hours in OW, but I've moved on.

Counter-Strike would like a word.

I don't like CS2 either; but Global Offensive had already killed CS for me long before it was converted to CS2.

I laughed out loud at Overwatch x Hello Kitty and Friends.

That is how I read it, what else could it mean?

IMO, a good sequel doesnt have to change too much to be good, and is usually close enough to be called "more of the same.".
A good sequel is good because of its similarities to the first. Otherwise you end up with Zelda 2, which is widely regarded as the worst of the Zelda games because it changed so much (outside of a small but very vocal minority that liked it). Many movie sequels also try to change too much and end up suffering because of it. Return to Oz was an interesting movie, but I wouldn't ever call it as good as the original. Aliens and Terminator 2 are both similar enough to their respective originals while still having minor tweaks that led to a good follow up.
So in the sense of a sequel, Overwatch 2 isn't the worst, but I think it changed too much from the original and suffers because of it. And Blizzards decision to overwrite the original obviously plays a big part in many people's dislike of the game.
