Overwatch 2 devs talk back and criticize review bombing
> Waaaaaawaaaaawaaaa we can't make good games anymore waaaaaaa
> Stop critiquing our games!!!!!!
fpfb
This new crop of devs are all entitled crybabies.
No sorry that's too mean to the devs
b***h homie it's not mean enough.
homosexual cracker yes it is
Bullshit. These people deserve to be openly mocked and ridiculed on a daily basis for their stupidity over the last 10 years.
I dunno probably
yeah they all grew up on imageboards and forums
utter gutter trash scum
People don't like to admit this but white boomers were way more competent than any of us will ever be.
its really not a generational thing, ideologues hire ideologues. Once one of em gets into a position where they can influence who gets hired it's just a matter of time before ideologues outnumber normal peope who got their position by virtue of merit.
Dress it up however you want. The end result is white boomers are just more competent and they're getting way too old to keep working. Expect a lot more plane crashes in the future.
Boomers didn't make games or software for that matter.
Dumb frick.
You're thinking of Gen X, not boomers. Boomers are dumb motherfricker anti-intellectuals
Small indie studio plz understand
damn that's cringier than saying nothing
This lol. Can't wait for ~~*Blizzard*~~ to file for bankruptcy. They have literally ruined every genuine cool vidya concept, especially MMORPGs.
they'll never die
They're too big to fail?
too stubborn
>people played a game that the devs lied about and pushed updates that butchered the fun casual feel of the game
>No.. it's the people who actually played that game that are wrong
Blizzdrones are moronic.
>i played a game with no support for community servers or end of life plan
>the game changes and now it sucks
>also i chose to play a shitty version of tf2 instead of just playing tf2
yes. it is your fault for playing this game
You are right. But admittedly, OW release shortly after Valve fricked up with the MyM update and I wanted to play something fresh with a similar feel. I was naive that Blizzard was that awful of a company since I never played their other games before then. I just never thought one company could be so disillusioned with the reality of their player base to the point MyM looked like a good update in comparison.
this is pretty much it. there have been plenty of tf2 killers over the years, overwatch was the best out of all of them but that's really not saying much, tf2 fans went hard into it for a few weeks or years for some until moving on to different games until eventually going back to tf2. lots of AA fps game were made for the 360 that only existed to grift off cod players who would play the game for 10-20 hours before going back to cod
>>also i chose to play a shitty version of tf2 instead of just playing tf2
modern tf2 is already a shitty version of tf2
Leave Overwatch 2 alone
>unzips pants
or ELSE
Or else what?
>pulls IT out
one more word and I'll do it...
*SNIP*
>wiener
Back to discord troony branwasher
or else what?
>If we can't turn back the clock, what can we do?
Well you can stop consistently fricking up over and over again for starters
listen you don't understand okay, it took them a entire YEAR to make the Genji Mythic skin leave the indie Dev company alone
literally impossible with DIE/ESG stuff at the helm
They fricking knew internally that they weren't making the PVE mode and they didn't announce it until months afterwards, frick them, no better than 343 canceling split-screen and then waiting months before telling anyone.
Why did they launch on a platform with user reviews if they can't handle user reviews? Isn't that the whole reason people dodge Steam?
Desperation. OW isn't doing that good so they have to release their game on other storefronts to try and reclaim the user base that gave up on Blizzard. And it is backfiring big time. This shit is gold.
They fricked up their deal with NetEase so they literally HAD to launch on Steam in order to try and staunch the flow of players that they've been rather violently hemorrhaging. I'm thinking it probably didn't work.
So if they put WoW on steam does that mean Chinese players can play again?
Just before the acquisition, Activision were finishing up analysis on the PC sales of Call of Duty entries by storefront; the conclusion- if I remember the quote correctly- was "not releasing on Steam at launch is financial suicide". I haven't seen it sourced, but it's alleged after the lawsuit management sent the findings as a memo throughout the company with the advisory that all PC titles should be making moves towards Steam wherever possible.
Once again GabeN wins by doing absolutely nothing.
if you ever played this homosexual shit you deserve everything bad that happens to you
>Hope you're all proud of yourselves
Absolutely! I hope Aaron cries himself to sleep tonight on the gigantic pillow that he uses to cradle his ENORMOUS EMPTY HEAD,
a majority of the review bombing is from Chinese players mad that they basically deleted all of their shit and then removed Chinese servers
which lol imagine being blizzard and fricking up so badly you alienate a large part of your customer base
they should be mad at their government, not blizzard
>criticize government: you disappear
>criticize game company through a VPN: nothing happens
I can see which one would be preferable
> Blizzard
> Square Enix
Both garbage companies and mere shadows of their former selves
>blizz thread
>random SE mention
rent free
Cope, seethe and dial 8.
Yoshi-P is every bit as bad as these hacks working at Blizzard.
Both trash companies that can no longer make good games. The giants of gaming have fallen.
>not even a WoW thread and he's seething about XIV
yeah, rent free
I'm talking about XVI actually.
Yoshi-P shit the bed and took the franchise and company with him. It will take a decade to recover from this.
Rent free seething. YWNBAW
you never played ffxiv, kys
>acknowledged that a lot of the review bombs are about them pulling the rug out from under everyone with the pve cancellation(the entire selling point of OW2)
>say they shouldn't get review bombed because they promise to add stuff to OW2 in the future
This fricking guy.
>oh sure we broke our promise last time
>but THIS is the promise we'll keep
Blizzdrones must have less pattern recognition than a fricking slug. At least a slug won't keep crawling into salt if it realises it hurts it, unlike whoever is buying the new OW battlepass.
The current playerbase on steam is probably chinamen, since it has been years since they could play at all. The vast majority of the negative reviews in chinese suggest that.
gonna leave a negative review now
>awful monetization
>PvE cancelled
>story missions paywalled
no, thanks
I still seriously cannot believe they had the fricking gall to ask people to pay for archive missions
THEY'VE BEEN FREE FOR 7 YEARS
Don't care about any of that. Still playing OW because it's fun.
>Masters being matched up with Gold in their games
>Leavers every other game
>DPS with 0 kills
>morons who refuse to swap to counter
>DEFEAT!
Yeah no, it's still fun...
>DPS with 0 kills
This shit drives me up the wall, I end up having to play Zen while Medic because of these incompetent idiots not picking up their slack.
>hating the players thats forced to be pressured by design rather to have fun
Ur ugleh
You literally can't.
>frogtroony
>abhorrent tastes
people seriously care about the story in Overwatch, or any other "hero shooter" for that matter?
I can only imagine it’s literal children or people who were children when OW originally launched. Everything they present is like a shitty take on a Pixar movie
>Stop review bombing us please 🙁
If this is "lots" according to blizzard then the situation is truly dire.
lmao, I didn't even think about it, but we're going to be able to get consistent player counts for this shitshow now.
No we'll get a consistent count for the steam users, the dedicated launcher drones will certainly still keep playing on there. Which will be even funnier because the people not dumb enough to use a proprietary launcher dropping to zero will just prove only die hards still care.
For Baldur's Gate 3 everything below 500k is already considered "insanely low".
>Then what can we do?
>We can keep adding to and improving Overwatch 2
>But not by adding the thing we promised everyone
>Why is everyone so upset?!
>>We can keep adding to and improving Overwatch 2
So why didn't they?
Whoah there buddy we said we can not that we would.
>I told mom I'd take out the trash and then...I just didn't! AHAHAHAHA
Lead Developer: The Joker
>Customers asked us to remove bugs...
>Go to office, use bug spray, and blog post about successful debugging

>an ever expanding, evolving, and improving game.
>continually create and innovate
>we are working very hard
>please keep buying the pig
jesus christ, the phrasing on these posts is always the same bullshit
it's always the "please wait until the next patch and the patch after that" garbanzo
I hate corporate speak so much. They refuse to take responsibility and accept the reality that dropping PvE was a huge glaring example of incompetence and greed, so instead they act like some half assed co-op from Overwatch 1 is "progress".
Anything a corporation does is "progress" and "moving forward". It's like saying that falling off a cliff isn't so bad, because at least you're moving vertically instead of standing still.
I like that they’re flooding the news with spam announcements to hide the director letter.
>Illari has been out for over a week now
>yummy tummy that glows when you impregnate her
>ZERO porn
Overwatch is actually dead wow
50 dollarydoos for a glow in the dark muslim
This shit writes it's self.
Uh anon? OW2 is f2p
Still too much
>$50
its free
>muslim
Peru
No Abrahamic religions but buddhism and its' omnic offshoots exists in Overwatch world.
Even "Crusaders" in the game doesn't have any Christian symbols.
Egypt? Somehow their ancient religion were revived and there's no trace of Islam despite them still using arabic and having arabic names.
How is she any different from the previous three brown women?
lore wise or gameplay wise? Gameplay wise she's a beast. Throws a turret that healbots for you and has some of the best DPS in the game
Lore wise I dunno, something about aztecs, she has sun God powers and accidentally made an explosion or something
Oh look another brown golem with questionable sexuality. Imagine playing this shit holy frick
>questionable sexuality
Anon you need help. Those are literally her pajamas skin.
all the women in this game are vaguely bi or whatever because white women need some way to LARP as oppressed or not be evil heterosexuals
>all the women in this game
Tracer and Pharah are the only gay/bi females in this game my fren
Every other person is straight.
When the next scandal hits, one will fall to the infection.
>The only two women that are top tier sexy are lesbians.
End it
am I supposed to be turned on by this ugly lighting and animation or something?
wow, not really into overwatch porn, but the steam reviews were right, the people making overwatch porn work harder than the overwatch devs
When Blizzard's headcanon fights mine, I always win. Therefore, all pretty OW characters are straight females, born as females and kept as females, away from any modern shit.
Who gives a frick?
you apparently
No. I dont care what fricking gender or sexuality a video game character is. Why are you homosexuals so obsessed with this tumblr tier fluff?
apparently still you
>N-n-no y-you
I hate you dishonest homosexuals.
But you're the one responding to 18 hour posts and getting mad. It kinda seems like you're the only one that cares tbh
>muh lesbians
There is no time limit to responding to stupid tumblr homosexualry.
>muh lesbians
why is this autist wearing a plushie around her neck on a supposed battlefield?
She is even more ugly than the last ones.
Jesus Christ I can't believe I'm saying this but Paladins has better characters at this point, lemme guess she's a support character with shields and a stun
she has a DPS gun better than Soujourn and Soldier 76, has a Healing Pylon that can attach to any surface and heal 120HP per second to anyone in 15m range, her ult she flies and shoots an explosive that can do up to 250HP damage, and passes through shields 🙂
I wouldn't be surprised if they came up with her thanks to chatgpt
>AI out of nowhere
not sure which is worse on Ganker. Hearing the AI boogeyman all the time or hearing "TRANNIESTRANNIESTRANNIES"
That would've been a one-off, but since you decided to project, did you know blizzard has their own AI specifically made to check levels of diversity? Their character may very well be a generated list of traits.
ok
Why do western devs hate pretty women so much? Look at what had happened to Riot Games in only 2 years after hiring Blizzard devs:
>Sexual harassment lawsuit
>Started censoring female characters
>Purposely making them uglier
>No more white people get made
>Making everyone LGBT
>Every single new character is now based off a real culture instead of fake and are all brown
>Don't even make coomer skins anymore
And now LoL is officially dead in NA.
Welcome to The International
ugly
they use quantum encryption on their models now to prevent porn of them being made
USAnian culture is centered around Black person worship.
What's incredible to me is Blizzard literally shits all over their playerbase regularly. WoW, Diablo 4, OW2, and people LINE UP to play their games still.
I kinda understand OW2 because it's free but Diablo IV like what the frick? $70 for that garbage shit and people still flock to it instead of going back to 2 or 3 and being happy
IV has a nice aestetic so I'm giving it a shot. Haven't actually had any time to try it out though with 4remake and all
blizzdrones aren't people
They're all just WoW and Starcraft addicts. Like an abused spouse they'll crawl back to Daddy Blizzard no matter what, because Daddy Blizzard is the best game developer ever. Surely this recent streak of failure is just temporary.
Blizzard use to do this without concern until the whole sexual harassement lawsuit/mobile diablo booing/BFA-SL things happened. Now they cut back drastically on their workforce and pay tens of millions a year to astroturf boards like this and other forums, buying accounts of high # posters on sites like MMOchamp and forcing content creators to be positive with twitch drops. No group of consumer is as dumb or as gullible as a Blizzdrone though, not even marvel gays or sports fans are as stupid.
I chuckled when you said "people" these gays are bottom of the barrel subhumans and they deserve it
>PFFFFFT HAHAHAHA.... PEOPLE???? SERIOUSLY ANON, PEOPLE??? HAHAHAH
this is you
blizzdrones only like blizzard games
They don't have to care, blizzdrones are just crack addicts that will suck a wiener for a hit.
you just got realize how many undiscerning tasteless people are out there
for every one person with the capacity to stop indulging in something after it changes in a way they dislike, there's like 10 who treat brands as a part of their core personality and can't abandon it without soul searching they aren't willing to do
why bother playing OW
*brap*
kys
FRICK YOU homosexual!!!
reminder Dva is transgender now too
I'd ask if this were a shitpost but I'm not shocked if this is were real.
https://www.dexerto.com/overwatch/overwatch-2-devs-weigh-in-on-possibility-of-future-transgender-hero-2160032/
fricking god no
Oh god please no..., I've fapped to her so many times.....
Buddy if she’s had a vegana in every image you’ve used to jerk off, the panic retcons of a corporation won’t make you retroactively gay.
Bottom surgery anon...
Bottom surgery looks like an axe wound. I had the displeasure of seeing one myself.
Doesn't create a vegana.
What if she was a futa and getting fricked stupid by a futa Mei?
Asking for a friend
>I see fans were fine with our girls fine with having dick.
>Lets put her into trans bracket
Sometimes i wonder, if our coombrain do contributed with these shit decision.
Futa means she has both genitals so you're still in the clear.
>There are unconfirmed reports that D.Va is [REDACTED]
That could literally fricking mean anything you troglodyte. The article you posted is an absolute nothing burger that boils down to 'yeah, maybe' because any dev that wants to keep their job wouldn't fricking say no.
besides the actual trans hero is Ashe
DVa looks really manly nowadays
they're saving the transgender hero reveal for when the child porn allegations come out, which will be very ironic indeed
>her 3 main colors are light blue, light pink, and white
lol
lmao
it's been there right in front of everyones eyes for years.
They're saving it for the rainy day whenever they're in hot water. Just write her to have one of those trendy sexual orientation of the week and you're in the clear.
Funny how they think this fixes or solves anything. You get a week's worth of disingenuous 'positive newspeak' confirmation bias headlines, and after that, your player counts are still lagging, and so are your sales.
Absolutely meaningless. Ppl are getting tired of their shitty games and outright rejecting them and moving onto games they deem more worthwhile of their time.
Doing a gender swap asspull on a character isn't going to make anyone sick and tired of OW's bullshit return.
Gotta get back to school and actually improve gameplay and remove some of the egregious monetization.
What's funny is that more often than not this tactic will exasperate the bleeding of sales and players.
>You get a week's worth of disingenuous 'positive newspeak' confirmation bias headlines
that's a victory if the headlines aren't "blizzard steals more breast milk" they are winning. that's the purpouse of making characters gay, it's so that people shit themselves and argue over that instead of the latest scandal
You know, that would actually make sense. Who ever heard of a female Starcraft pro?
Scarlett
I've only seen this image posted on this website so it's just bullshit again
>literally having a holding place for a change you can make to cover-up an unrelated controversy
They took what happened with the Bill Cosby rooms thing and Mccree and made some preparations I see. Clever of them.
the mccree change was painfully obviously something they were brewing for a bit. I remember posts on twitter going "i hope mccree (the real person) isn't involved or they'll have to change his name"
the change itself was greenlit and released in like less than a month from the allegations going public
they were ready
How exactly are we to confirm these reports?
wait for the next controversy
hear me out Ganker, what if someone from the paladins development team had infiltrated the overwatch dev team got promoted to dev manager and decided to make the most stupid decisions ever to get people playing paladin? it sounds stupid but could be true...
palawho!?
>If we can't turn back the clock, what can we do?
People turn the clock back constantly, often twice a year. The fact this saying is so popular with leftist fricknuts says it all.
Microsoft will hire back Jeff Kaplan and save OW
They'll have to fire Bobby Kotick first.
frick overwatch
frick blizzard
blizzdrones seethe harder
the reason why people wanted the PvE so bad was because these dumb buttholes killed all of the fun out of the game chasing e-sports and "balancing" everything. 5v5 is dogshit, the PvP sucks.
>We made a scumbug money grab game that exploits people's psychology, really just as bad or worse than a casino, and we can't understand why people despise us for that
>Hope you're all proud of yourselves
And I hope blizzard burns and the gremlin in charge of it boards the next oceangate sub.
>don't allow reviews
>first platform that allows reviews have negative reviews
who could have seen that coming
What b***hasses. Imagine announcing a big feature, make a "sequel" and overwrite the first game so no one can go back just to prepare for said big feature, and after less than a year, FRICKING SCRAP THE BIG FEATURE cuz money, and repack the leftover pieces and having the audacity to SELL IT FOR MONEY.
Holy shit I'm livid.
And then going on record saying your game doesn't deserve any of the hate it's rightfully received
don't forget there was a solid like 2 year period where Overwatch 1 got ZERO new content. no new heroes, maps, no major balance changes, no new events, nothing - all so they could push out this PvE just to cancel it anyway. frick these dumb buttholes.
OW was top of the world Wtf happened
It was only top because of the marketing budget anon.
OW was made from the last scraps of the real Blizzard. They were trying to make some next gen mmo called Titan.
That's why the most of the first characters have solid designs.
Activision took the character designs, and a map or 2 and threw it in a blender with the most popular and profitable genres at the time to guarantee corporate profits.
It's funny thinking how many tens of thousands more would be playing if the fricking game had community servers.
because it was fun and then the devs killed all the fun chasing e-sports money. but no one actually liked their e-sports league, so they had to pump millions into it to try to keep it afloat.
>people seriously spend $10K on an axe wound before at least looking at post pictures on GOOGLE
>"Oh no, how could this happen!? They lied!"
I uninstalled the day they turned soldier gay and never looked back. Given how the game turned out it was the perfect decision. Imagine being emotionally attached to this trash fire.
It's literally not being review bombed. People just don't like the game lmao. If it was being review bombed then Valve would have reversed it by now, they've reversed reviews for far less.
how did developers become so entitled? you're not entitled to a consumer's money or their praise
They somehow think making big exspensive bloated unfinished glitch false content games equates to them not being at any blame because "Oh but w-we tried really hard ok! Devs have feelings too!!!"
An esoteric argument would be that prior to gen X a job was just something you did and because you were personally removed and there was a clear seperation between private and public it was easy to be professional. After gen X a job became an identity "what do you want to be when you grow up" so it became significantly harder to disentangle yourself. This is why you see actors shooting their mouth off all the time. You can broadly see a clear line where people over 50 keep it professional and post Gen X can't shut the frick up
marketers coach them or they are independently kowtowing and tribal morons of the jay wilson ilk.
people hyped "NEW BLIZZARD IP!" to the sky even after watching wow crash out in the previous 5 years and d3 needing a very major salvage job. it was on a hope bubble with not a lot of substance.
Reminder, the head of Blizzard rapes and kill little kids. Just, takes little girls, little girls who've been stolen from their homes, and he takes advantage of them for sexual pleasure. He rapes little girls. Your daughter, he just rapes her for fun. He's a child rapist.
Jesus anon I've already bought Diablo 4.
No need to sell me on it
>bait and switch customers
>they give you negative reviews
>this is somehow a bad thing
Meanwhile you never see anyone in the industry talking about buying fake reviews or selectively giving journalists early review copies and swag if they have a track record of giving favorable reviews.
>If we can't turn back the clock, then what can we do? We can keep adding to and improving Overwatch 2.
not the overwatch team promising more future content and hoping that's enough AGAIN
frick blizzard so bad for this shit
Jeff Kaplan left for a reason
>listen we know we promised you content and failed on that promise
>so what can we do? Well we can continue to promise you future content
is Blizzard unironically brain dead?
This is what you get when you use chat gpt to write your apology letter.
Why won't you play overwatch 2?
It's free.
Anything with challenge based leveling/progress is an instant no from me.
Matchmaking is cancer
Content treadmills are cancer
Microtransactions are cancer
Anti-social multiplayer is cancer
Levels and random drops are cancer
Autistic esports balancing is cancer
"pre-solved" games are cancer
I will exclusively play old games even when the day comes that I'm the only one logging into them because this trash doesn't belong in video games.
The game being "free" made it worse. It happens to fricking everything other than TF2. Rocket League went to shit when it went F2P. Fall Guys was already dead but it died a second time when it went F2P. Any last hope of a good FPS (Titanfall 3) died when a homosexual F2P game called Apex Legends became popular. F2P is.fricking gay and ruins gaming.
>other than TF2
shut your mouth you literal newbie I don't care when you started playing you are clearly too new to appreciate a better TF2 experience than the actual garbage we're stuck with now
>It happens to fricking everything other than TF2.
this is how I know you never played TF2 before it became free, because that was the moment the game died, and now it's corpse is being puppeted around by poorgays and russians who both have potato PC's and anger management problems
everything that goes F2P dies, not because no one plays, but because the playerbase becomes filled up with moronic spammers who act like complete c**ts because if they get banned they can just make another free account to play again.
TF2 was at it's best before it went F2P, before matchmaking, and when dedicated servers were actually hosted by community admins who would moderate the players, occasionally you found a power-tripping admin/mod, but then you just go join another server
you can't do that to get away from the F2P players, there is no "I don't want to play with piece of shit russians and children" tickbox
Slamming my door shut on my penis is also free but that doesn't mean I'm going to do it.
I'd genuinely rather play Gundam Evoltuion until its dead for good, instead
The only Blizzard game I've ever played is Warcraft 3. I've also never even touched a hero shooter of any kind.
I already play all MP games I need.
Not going to spend time to play another one.
This is the most boring design for a Kitsune in the history of media. It's really amazing Blizzard pulled it off.
kiriko looks like a background character you'd see in an old overwatch short, she's the most boring, cookie cutter, safe, inoffensive weeb bait possible. Even her short was clearly focus tested into oblivion and in-game she has no personality.
it's honestly an amazing craft. And weebs buy her recolor skins with wigs en masse
Eating my own shit is also free I could be doing that instead?
are you Black folk honestly trying to milhouse this literal who character?
killing myself is also free and yet I'm still here
Time is a currency and I'm not wasting it.
I can't wait for their excuse when Diablo 4 is added to steam and review bombed 10x harder.
The term "review bombed" implies they're being wrongly spamed with negative reviews. They're charging $15 for 3 FOMO shit gay PvE missions and they think they don't deserve the negative reviews???
>an over expanding evolving game
OW2 has less features than OW1 lol frick them
>If we can't turn back the clock, what can we do?
Deliver on your original promises of PVE????
>WAHHH NO NO NO NO WE CAN'T DO THAT BECAUE WE JUST DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY TO DEVELOP IT OKAY?????
these devs are complete b***hes
unironically, can Microsoft save the game?
lol no
the team is so incompetent you could give them another 3 years and $1 billion dollars to create whatever they wanted and at the end they'd hand you a blank sheet of paper and say "Its imagination potential is unlimited!"
Beung brigaded isn't fun? Well, ain't like your games are fun either. Now make more characters for 3d porn
Holy copium, bro. Blizzard developers just can't accept that their little experiment was a complete and utter failure.
they already broke their fricking promise of not adding in the garbage new mode Flashpoint to comp until later on, when that shit was in DAY 1
thats all they ever fricking so, lie
>remove 2CP in part because teams would just split up and go where ever they wanted, constantly being picked off
>add push which is worse and teams split up even worse and go wherever they wanted, constantly being picked off
>add flashpoint which is even worse than push where teams split up and go wherever they wanted, constantly being picked off
lmao the devs are so fricking incompetent it's staggering to think about.
>we can't turn back the clock guise!
>what more do you want from us?
>we promise that, moving forward, we'll be better than ever before!!!
your track record implies otherwise, you c**ts.
No see t-this time is totally different please! Haven't you heard of second chances? Cmon give us a 7th chance here...

Copium maxxed for a dead game
I'm glad OW is dead
let the shitty players move somewhere else
>Completely fumble their game and knowingly introduce worse micro transactions for the consumer
>Gaslight players into feeling bad because they fricked it all up
>We're trying okay! Just a couple more reskins for 20 dollars a piece please understand!
Get fricked blizzard.
But can Ganker actually make a class shooter with hero missions? More at 10
If you aren't a politician yourself, you should not be able to vote because you don't know how difficult their job is.
I played Overwatch 1 and I'd downvote the game to hell for the simple fact that it is too team-based and the people who play the game are try-hards, playing solo is hell, and most people don't play healer so guess who had to play healer?
looks like blizzard got what they fricking deserve
Funny, MS acquires Blizzard finally and they are speedrunning destroying all their big franchises one by one.
WOW already one foot in the grave
OW2 being brutally killed right now as we speak
Diablo 4 on the cusp of death
The Google graveyard is no match for the MS Graveyard at this point. Get acquired, become dead zombie company
I don't follow WoW, how is it dying?
Blizzard has been living on borrowed time since the Activision merger, WoW subs and Overwatch were the only things that kept them afloat.
If the merger with microsoft happens, they will downsize blizzard to the wow maker.
Frick it Valve should buy Overwatch IP and let community work for them instead.
>WoW becomes f2p
Just imagine!
It would suck like when tf2 went f2p, and unlike valve, I doubt anything will be done to make the experience at least tolerable. There is no hope in blizzard.
your favorite content creators been saying this game was bad for years now their defending it.
>We ultimately couldnt deliver
Yeah sorry we are just a multi billion dollar company.
Hey now that's not fair, they only had 3 years to make a campaign okay? that's incredibly hard a-
Huh? Call of Duty does that every single year?
....
THAT'S NOT THE POINT OKAY???
We can't be expected to do things well just because other people can achieve the bare minimum of competence!
All the money in the world does nothing if you don't use it to hire people with actual talent instead of Californian/Silicon Valley parasites
I would have played PvE Overwatch for hundreds of hours.
um no you wouldn't have??? the new gaslight is nobody even wanted PvE anyway so who cares if it's cancelled you should be grateful they still work on the game
Come home, white man
But I'm already AT HOME
more brown golems and pride flags please!
>Look I didn't deliver on my promise
>But I'll try to do better in the future

>5v5 meta leaves even more dull stalemates in games
>Somehow focus even more on CC
>Battlepasses so grindy they make people pine for loot boxes
>No deepest lore PvE mode for the people who've wanted that shit for ages
I admit the game hasn't been fun since a team couldn't be 6 junk rats, but this is somehow even worse.
focus even more on CC
This is inevitable because there's no unified movement mechanic or momentum for the tiny as frick hitboxes. The only way to attempt to direct hit a moira or baby dva consistently is to stop them from moving wholesale.
They had so many options for making a PVE and squandered them all. Here's one for free, Blizz. Copy world tour and make your own broken ass hero by copying other hero abilities and getting lore from the characters in a semi open world. Look at that, all marketing boxes ticked!
>20k players on a Friday night
OW itself was a forced production to salvage the assets from a failed MMO project. you're telling me this team drops the ball every time they try to do something that takes more effort than a team shooter? that's pretty embarrassing
>our goal is to make OW more accessible
Why can’t blizzard developers code? Are they hiring too many zoomies?
Good professionals want good salaries but the profits go to the shareholders' pockets.
>we can keep adding to and improving overwatch 2. This is how we move forward
What
you frickers removed shit from OW1 so you could sell it back as extra content in OW2, are you fricking kidding me
Do Blizzdrones really fall for this shit
>Do Blizzdrones really
you already know the answer to that
Let me guess, you have to pay for a battleass or roulette wheel or some shit to unlock this Illari transbian
you pay BP or play up to lvl 45
Uh oh, so much toxicity.
>60% PotG for the new characters
how much do you want to bet that they artificially boost the "PotG score" for people with new characters to make them feel better about the purchase so that they might but the next one in the future?
Just an opinion but my guess is that the steam playercount would be much lower if it wasnt for some Blizzdrones trying to push them up.
geez now thats fricking tone deaf
you know, when Cyberpunk and specially No Man Sky got slaughtered by user reviews, the devs didnt simply go
>"lol review bombs!"
they checked the feedback and made the appropriate changes
for instance, the only criticism from the reviews mentioned in the article is the cancellation of the PvE, but a HUGE chunk of the negative reviews come from chinese players who lost all of their progress after blizzard ended their partnership with the company distributing their games over there and gave these players no recourse
frick the chinks i guess, not even fricking alluded to
this tells you they are not listening, even after receiving over 130k negative reviews, they are not listening
Imagine telling someone 6 years ago that No Man’s Sky would end up being better received by the public than Overwatch.
accumulative effect. people are getting less and less patient with this shit especially if they're seeing that profits are rising while quality plummets
I’ve started noticing this with Rockstar Games but unfortunately those pricks are still doubling down on their greed because stupid kids are still buying shark cards.
it's at least pretty good seeing more and more people setting their foot down and saying "no" from time to time.
the fact tripleA devs started seething at stuff like elden ring and baldur's gate 3 means they fear people growing standards back
Imagine telling someone that No Man's Sky at LAUNCH has more effort and promises met than fricking Overwatch 2
any game that will release ever has more promises met than overwatch 2 considering overwatch 2 LITERALLY released without the game it was supposed to.
It's like if you announced cyberpunk 2077 and all you got were some cyberpunk themed cosmetics in witcher 3
a cyberpunk dev recently said something along the lines of "it was cool to hate cyberpunk"
>Market and create hype around a game mode you never inteded to make
>OW2 just a method to change to seasonal content
People are going to be as mad as the ME3 ending anon who is still mad to this day.
>review bombing
Sure.. . .
Why don't they just try making a game that doesn't suck ass?
>we cancelled the big thing the game was supposed to be about but here's some future promised stuff that doesn't exist yet
dumb nerds
Was the 2, the only thing they added to Overwatch?
They removed a character slot on both sides, and we always adding characters and maps. Why even call it Overwatch 2?
It's literally that Spongebob the Movie joke with the Krusty Krab 2
"MONEY"
It is so bad, it is a fricking kids movie level of reality.
>That is how we move forward. This means more things we'll dripfeed so we can nickel and dime our dumbass cultist fanbase for every penny they've got-an ever expanding, evolving and improving mtx milking machine. This is the future of Overwatch 2.
The absolute gall of these motherfrickers
looks like the player count finally settled down. I'll give it around 45k consistent players which isn't that bad tbh
>we will do everything we can
>except the one thing we promised you and used to shut down OW1
Will we reach 8% on Steam now?
>IT'S NOT OUR FAULT IT TAKES 25 YEARS TO UNLOCK ONE LEGENDARY SKIN PER HERO
>THE BATTLE PASS IS GOOD, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
Blizzard deserves to go under.
Bad review of game from small studio = People didn't like the game
Bad review of AAA game = "review bombing"
>How do we move forward? By promising more things that we failed to deliver in the past
This is how it sounds to me.
I don't give a shit about Overwatch, not once played a single game. But I do hear what goes on with that game. And it's just been one failure after the other. Saying that you will deliver, let alone what will be delivered to not be underwhelming, means absolutely nothing, at this point. Nobody cares.
>doubling down
Great let's see if we can get it under 5%.
>ambitious project that we ultimately couldn't deliver
you mean the main selling point of "making" ow2 that no one wanted while ignoring the pvp that consists of 99.9% of the game
Oh boy
>Blizzard
>One of the biggest names in video games
>Owned by one of the wealthiest publishers in the business
>Making a PvE game largely out of existing assets is "ambitious"
He forgot to mention that 2/3 of that negative reviews are from Chinktoids that their accounts because of Netease/Blizzard deal ended without a prior notice.
Also please anyone who can afford a goos lawyer please sue those frickers. Lawsuits are the only language they understand.
Chinktoids that their accounts got erased*
So what's the blizzdrone cope about this?
pretending the negativity over the game is a "echo chamber" and that pve didn't matter really so shut up stop complaining.
they're running out of copes, even the stupidest golems on the official forums can smell how tone deaf aron's post was
>Our goal with Overwatch 2 has been to make the game more accessible than ever for more people than ever before.
Or, you know, you could have set the goal to make the game better than ever before. As if it was an entertainment product made for players instead of stakeholders.
Cool, nice cope, does not matter, dont promise things you cant deliver on and then get upset people who bought your product based on these promises are mad.
You cant have your cake and eat it too.
>review bombing
shut the frick up castrated blizzard transvestites, we know that you are used only to paid shill reviews
Overwatch 2 isn't a fun experience :/
I won't read all that shit.
If you want even more negative reviews, then I'll do just that.
>If we can't turn back the clock, then what can we do?
Uhhh idk develop the PVE portion of the game? Why are nu-soi devs like this? You can do literally anything you can think of when it comes to developing a game or program but they act like there are nonexistent heavy restrictions in place or something.
>nonexistent heavy restrictions in place or something
there is
it's called incompetency
That's still bullshit because even a shit dev can become a good dev if they just push themselves. But I guess we live in a world where mediocrity, or even incompetency is hailed and pandered to. See the difficulty and complexity of every single GaaS you can think of, pretty much since the corona lockdowns. None of my games are sacred and are being turned into dopamine slot machine dispensers for moronic normies.
>That's still bullshit because even a shit dev can become a good dev if they just push themselves
they got rid of so many devs the last few years I'm confident it's just a bunch of juniors copy pasting code around and using assets that were made years prior
wow I'm surprised blizzard admitted that they aren't smart enough. if you didn't live under a rock you would already know this based on their diversity hires
>steals the product you bought
>replaces it with an inferior version with more micro transaction, botched balance, no promised pvp
>"bwaah waah we are the victims in this CHUDS, how can we improve if we cannot frick you in the ass?"
I mean pve*
>many of the reviews on Steam mention the cancellation of PvE
>That is how we move forward. This means more maps, heroes, game modes, missions, stories, events and features.
You can't even make this shit up at this point
i swear they had an AI write this. Every time they keep patting themselves on all the content we're "going to get"
I am not.
I am proud of those who did review this piece of shit unfavorably.
It's not our fault Blizzard can't do a basic background check on their employees to know if they can make a video game. Stop hiring short haired dykes where their only experience is some bullshit video game design school and hire people that actually make fricking video games. Indie games, personal projects, team projects, etc. That's 100% on them and they know it is. ESG won't save them and I suggest they stop trying to follow it. Or don't stop and be an example for the industry when you fly too close to the sun. Either way they'll learn and Blizzard will either die or actually change while its on its death bed when the realization finally hits. I'm banking on the former though
>yes we announced a sequel based on pve
>yes we also announced that it would have skill trees and upgrades
>yes we barely gave any news about it for years
>yes we quietly cancelled it all and announced it a year later like the cowarda that we are
>yes the pve ended up being archives 2.0, with little reason to replay, very little lore and with a moronic cliffhanger everyone knew for ages and we are charging money for that
>yes only 3 miserable missions are done and the next ones will be added god knows when
>yes we got sales based on the original pve announced
>but what can we do? Is not our fault
Is there a company that has had a larger fall than Blizzard? What in the frick happened
Activision happened.
But boy did we go downhill fast.
Bioware is the top contender, but they had a smaller time in freefall before hitting rock bottom
what is the most cucked thing about overwatch 2?
OW2 is OW1 but with removed content and feature and more israeliteery.
The reason OW2 even exist was to try to generate hype because it was supposed to be the """sequel""" of a very popular (at the time) game that would expand on its universe or something.
OW2 exists so they could redo their monetization.
>overwatch
>2016+7
Just let it die.
Ask Blizzard to kill it
It's better if you kill it slowly, like a japanese salaryman getting assigned a shitty job in the basement of the company until he cracks and leaves the company by himself.
The seething cope
so
like
why is it called overwatch 2?
and who would EVER invest serious time in a game that just had its actual main content cancelled?
Have they tried making a good game?
why would they do that? Blizzdrones will eat up their slop no matter how bad it is, why bother putting effort in.
When can we get a franchise-wars style game mode for TF2? I know one guy was attempting to do it, but I can’t find any new info on it. I assume roster cuts would definitely be on the table when it comes to balancing the game mode.
Friendly reminder everyone, the devs KNEW PvE was not going to work ever since late 2021
Thats a whole fricking year before the game came out. Any good company would immediately say "Sorry but PvE is cancelled and being reworked, we couldn't do it."
Nah, instead they kept quiet, lied on their forums for a year constantly saying PvE was coming and it was gonna be big! And then suddenly in May "Oh uh yeah it's cancelled btw BUT DONT WORRY, WE HAVE-"
to sound like a cliche fricking movie. It ain't even about the fact that they couldn't make PvE. It's that they lied to us about it
>review bombing
These are honest reviews.
Uh no? people have no right to blame the devs for PvE cancelation ok??? They tried their hardest and they PROMISE in the future they'll make up for it alright????
Did an ESL write this?
Nope, fully american fully Caucasian fully of the bullshit
>we can't turn back the clock
why not? just roll back all the shitty changes you made since the first game launched
This unironically
>Role Class Lock
>5v5
Killed a frick ton of interest in the game
>We wilkl make the game better and better, but also you legit cannot believe us because we will just tell you we cancelled cool stuff anyway. also frick you pay me 15$ every season for shit that shouldve been in there
It really is quite shocking that a company that big, with thousands of employees really can't figure out how to make a single player mode for an fps game. How seriously stupid are these people?
I could literally come up with countless ideas to make it fun, especially in single player.
Meanwhile even franchises like this manage to pull out decent 6 hour long campaigns out of their assess every single year
Yet Blizzard can't even produce more than an hour's worth after 4 fricking years!??
It would be so easy because overwatch already has all those unqie characters. They should've just pulled a genshin and let you switch between characters mid fight/ level and designed it around that.
Overwatch is some of the biggest wasted potential in gaming history.
>interesting setting/lore
>cool characters and designs
>rivalries, friendships and romances that give depth to the characters
And they did fricking NOTHING with it. When Ow1 launched with all the cool cinematics and mini comics, i thought they were hinting towards OW becoming a huge franchise with movies, comics and spin offs (think what Riot games is doing) and they did fricking NOTHING. Even if it would be shit by Ganker standards, it should have been a shoe in with normies. Blows my mind.
>they did fricking NOTHING
well they tried desperately to astroturf a league to get esports shekels
Keep buying the pass, so they can keep their hight tech servers that stop functioning every weekend.
What is it with Blizzard devs and acting like pompous shiteating elitists all the time? Do they realize how bad the image of that company is?
>What is it with Blizzard devs and acting like pompous shiteating elitists all the time?
California. Nuff said.
if you really want to play a f2p hero shooter on Steam thats actually fun you could try Shatterline. it does literally everything better.
>the Dev team was really excited to see the steam reviews
Holy frick they really are out of touch
That gal from OW team?
yes sadly
Who in their right mind would cry about being reviewbombed and then immediately say
>yeah almost all lf those negative reviews are perfectly valid critiques
who asked for this game to be put on steam? did anyone actually see overwatch 2 on steam and say "wow thats pretty exciting"
>1 like
so did this person just like their own posts
No clue
But this guy definitely did
damn I gotta reply to my own post I didn't even see that part
>Showing off features they're working on isn't a promise to deliver those features
THAT'S LITERALLY THE WHOLE FRICKING POINT OF SHOWING OFF GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE WHY ARE BLIZZARD DRONES LIKE THIS
I like how all the years I wasted on this garbage suddenly don't count because the time tracker says so.
>promise new pve
>say it wouldn't happen
were they expecting a cookie for that
The fact that they sat on that info for like 2 years is hilarious.
"We can't turn back the clock" Oh yes you can you just won't do cause pay pigs are keeping your servers up.
I cannot believe they decided to kill off OW1 for good. I wonder where Jeff is now.
>removes everything from ow1 so they can dripfeed the features as "new" content
guys we're adding so many cool things, we are innovating the game
officially the least viewed Blizzard game
Imagine losing to a card game
