    Blizzard сделали просто отстойнейшую игру по сравнению со старой версией Overwatch, так ещё и тем кто купил ее подговнили сделав Overwatch 2 бесплатной, и без какой либо компенсации

    Отвратительное говнище. Видимо в близзарде остались одни унылые фемки и лица нетрадиционной ориентации, которые вместо того, чтобы пилить игру судятся с компанией и максимально пропагандируют свои ценности в лоре игры.

    Ок, начнем с минусов: 1. В первый день игра тупо не запустилась. Крашилась, вылетало в таймауты и бесконечно весела в очередях. 2. День два, после патча краши

    Ок, начнем с минусов:
    1. В первый день игра тупо не запустилась. Крашилась, вылетало в таймауты и бесконечно весела в очередях.
    2. День два, после патча краши прекратились, но... Какого-то черта у меня используется интегрированное гпу, вместо RTX2060, из-за чего дальше меню пройти нельзя, все лагает. Везде в настройках стоит принудительное использование 2060, но игре то виднее, ей нравится насиловать меня и мой i7-10870H.
    3. Выводиться на главный монитор игра не хочет, приходится запускать в окне
    4. А теперь очередь минусов, которые я вижу, но на практике из-за проблемы выше не было возможности оценить в самой игре. Храни господь стриминговые сервисы
    5. Новые дисбалансные герои. Ну камон, за них и так будут играть, зачем делать их настолько сильными?
    6. Глобальный ребаланс старых персов. Ну это жесть, теперь солдата трахают в рот не только буквально, но и в игре
    7. Редизайн внешности, персы потеряли свою изюминку, смотрятся пластмассово
    8. Реворк героев превратил игру в вялый постельный перепихон, больше хп, меньше урона, меньше хила. Все максимально уныло и скучно
    9. Что внес овервотч2 кардинально нового? Ничего
    10. Теперь не поиграть в первый овер
    11. Ах да, привязка по телефону, ммммм
    12. Батл пассы, донат, ммммммммм

    I dont have the best PC but even in OW1 I was able to play on medium-low to medium-high settings with little to no issue. Why is the game suddenly so heavy on my PC with very little to no change graphics-wise? (If anything it seems even more simple than before)
    Then of course the wait times and the fact that some people arent able to play at all just due to their phone plan. It's a complete mess that never should have happened.

I didn’t pay for the real overwatch 6 years ago just to end up with a trashy free overwatch 2 reboot.
    2: you have to do all these challenges to unlock players that we were previously able to play. wtf!?!) that makes literally no sense. I don’t wanna play 70 matches just to unlock mei. nah. this is another part of the game that just takes away from the real gameplay of overwatch.

OVEREATCH 2 LOOKS SO MUCH WORSE THAN OVERWAATCH LIKE COME ON WHATS WRONG WITH BLIZZARD YALL DONT KNOW WHAT UR DOINGGGG and all the new sayings that the characters say I do not stand with they are so much worse than the old ones. this isn’t going to all the voice actors or graphic designers it’s going to BLIZZARD.

    The changes are not enough to be a DLC, but Blizzard calls it a new game, what ****
    Everything in gameplay is actually unchanged.
    Blizzard introduced the battle pass to the game, so you can better spend your money and time to unlock some stupid skins.
    And at this moment, the game balance is a real issue. Tank heroes are too OP.
    OW2 is definitely the joke of the year!

    I wrote in support, they answered only two days later and said just wait, maybe they will fix it.

    There are thousands of people on the forums with the same problem. Blizzard doesn't answer.

    But I congratulate you all, we have a "wonderful" battle pass. We all "dreamed" about it. Someone in Blizzard's leadership went crazy, released a very bad update and called it Overwatch 2.

    Very, very disappointed. The game just doesn't work. Like I've been robbed.

    OW1 was a really good game that felt fun and balanced. OW2 is somehow an "update" that removes these two features. Add on countless bugs, stupid gameplay choices, and terrible matchmaking This game feels like a freaking pre-alpha build, not a "final product". Also scummy monetization drains what little fun this game does have.

    Skins can now only be bought ($) or earned through the god forsaken battle pass. If they wanted to move to a battle pass, they should've done it before people got burned out on the monetization scheme. No longer will I allow myself to be guilted into playing a game out of Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO). At this moment, the game is not worth supporting because of the predatory monetization practices.

    I miss Overwatch Origins. I paid $60 for it, it was my favourite game, I played almost every single day. I hate that it's been taken over by Overwatch 2 and it's just gone now. It should have been sold as a separate game, or they could have kept it free and left the original alone. Unless they bring it back, I may end up with more space on my Xbox.

    3. Day/night map.

    Do not invest any money or time into this game, read the reviews and save yourself the pain.

    This is my first time using this fresh account or ever really using this site. Overwatch 2 is a massive disappointment pushed out by a scummy company that exists to push a f2p battle pass model on it's playerbase. The balance team has lost the plot, the lore team never had a plot, and everything from ingame model and UI designs to gameplay has been dumbed down to try and approach a broader audience while simultaneously spitting, pissing and **** on the unique flow and character Overwatch 1 had. I did not buy Overwatch to play Call of Duty with funny buttons. I played Overwatch to play Overwatch. Now I can't even do that, because the developers have actively decided to **** delete the first game out of everybody's library to replace it with the second one that has all these bad changes. Even if you liked the first game more, you literally can never play it again.

    Which is **** insane, by the way. You spend money to play the first game, it gets deleted and replaced with a free game, and your 'compensation' is such a joke i'm not even going to mention it, because it isn't a real compensation. Blizzard actively seems to want this game to only survive off of people that are too **** stupid to play other games. I have never seen a game company put 'alienate a majority of our playerbase' on their list describing a path to success.

    The entire community, at large, has criticized their changes to the game almost every step of the way, and instead of addressing any of it, they have decided to keep making things worse. When your entire playerbase, or at least 90% of it, is screaming and begging you to stop mutilating the corpse of a once beloved game, and you decide to start cooking and eating the remains instead of stomping whatever jello is left into the dirt, you are not creating videogames correctly. That was not the correct response. Doubling down on every single thing people don't like about overwatch 2 is why I hope blizzard burns to the ground.

    There isn't even normal marketing. There is only scum. The company is only scum. I've always known Blizzard was full of hacks, but the occasional diamond in the rough always gets 'polished' into a lump of generic, dirty stone when in the hands of Blizzard Entertainment. You should've put all the funding from overwatch 2 into an Arcane-style Overwatch cinematic production and left the first game alone.

    Now that my general thoughts are out of the way, here are a quickfire list of things I dislike

    Battle passes. They're awful. I dislike every and any kind of stupid pseudo-gambling mechanic, and I do the same to anything that locks ingame content through unnecessary grind. And it's not just cosmetic content either, since now heroes (the game's main draw- your only way of accessing different weapons and abilities) are also locked in battle pass levels, which will be the only way to access new heroes going forwards.

    Old characters are also locked for new players, so it's not just the new heroes your going to have to grind and do silly 'challenges' for, while Overwatch 1 had every hero available for the entire playerbase on release, which was infinitely more consumer friendly.

    The way they've changed certain characters (Doomfist for example) have entirely ruined what made them interesting in the first place. Instead of trying to balance a character's kit, they've decided on replacing it entirely. There are very, very few times where this is the right move to make, and this was not one of those times.

    On the topic of battle passes, Genji (a character in the game) is incredibly strong right now. It is obvious that Genji is too powerful. His presence alone in a game, especially the 'free for all' mode, can ruin it. He is strong right now because he has a mythic skin on the battle pass, the 'big money item' that draws players into grinding for it. Of course he's broken on release, the same day that the battle pass is introduced to everybody.

    Switching from a 6v6 to a 5v5 format is a big step, and it hasn't been done well. Overwatch 1 had 32 playable characters who were all created, designed, and balanced for a 6v6 format. Less than half of those characters get real adjustments for the new 5v5 gameplay. The game feels off because it is off.

    The story mode the game was advertised besides is not actually part of overwatch 2 and will be a separate purchase releasing next year.

    It is not a sequel. There are so little real changes to the game that it feels like one big bad update, not a fresh title.

    Additionally, the new content is just boring. Mostly lacking character, very generic. The newer hero additions to the roster are lacking substance and polish, as are their cosmetics (the Junker Queen's skins all look the same regardless of rarity)

    Don't play this game. it will make you feel bad, and Blizzard doesn't deserve your playtime, much less money.

    Ridiculous monetization aside, the update/upgrade replaces the first game so we can't play it anymore, and not everything carried over, so we lose some things we earned. I loved OW1 and played it a few times a week for years, and if you hadn't forced an upgrade on me I could just go back to playing OW1 and ignore the all-around inferior sequel, but now I just don't play OW.

    Promised it would be free, then charged for battle passes and locked characters behind monetization League of Legends style.

    They're also breaking the older characters (Mei, Cass, Moira) so that people are more likely to buy the new ones.

    I'd buy OW1 again to play it on the old servers, but after a few days of trying to enjoy this turd I'm out.

    1. It is not a new game. It is a large update that is being advertised as a sequel. It's painful hearing professional critics say comments like "it really *feels* like the original Overwatch"... that's because it *IS* the original Overwatch. League of Legends had a bigger overhaul in the past and they didn't tout their game as League of Legends 2 when doing so.

    Let's even compare this

League of Legends had a bigger overhaul in the past and they didn't tout their game as League of Legends 2 when doing so.

    Let's even compare this to an actual sequel from Activision-Blizzard, Call of Duty, using MW vs. MW2 by Infinity Ward. There are all new operators, maps, guns, significant changes to gunplay, movement, loadout systems, among additions like swimming and water combat. On top of all that, they have a completely new mode (DMZ), campaign, WZ2.0, and more. This is just a quick overview to give a comparison to what you are getting in Overwatch 2, leading to my next point:

    2. It is difficult to fathom how this is several years of work. Even for a patch, after this long, this is a small number of additional maps. There is only a single new mode (Push) which is okay, it's a slight twist on what we have as regular gameplay, but it's hardly innovative and does not add much variety.

    Removal of at least one map, maybe 6 new maps, a few of which are unique to the new Push mode. If you've played Overwatch for years, it's not exactly fun to come back for Overwatch 2 to play the same exact map you've played except they moved the directional light a few degrees so it's sunset instead. I'm not playing the new Call of Duty finding myself playing the same map as the last.

    It has been confirmed by Blizzard, in the most lawyer-speech sort of way as usual, that the supposedly upcoming PvE mode will not be released as a $60 box, but rather they have "shifted [their] model now to start releasing things seasonally". This is clearly so that people will end up paying even MORE THAN $60 to obtain all the content that was originally planned to be a single $60 purchase. Any thought that they are providing you the customer any more by changing to this monetization model is gaslighting, which I will elaborate more on.

    3. There are 3 new heroes, again, a sad number to add as with the maps. To go deeper into this, there is far too much concern by the development team to have balanced heroes all the time and provide expensive promotional material for each and every character they introduce. Perfect balance is unachieveable, and it would be better for the FUN of the game to add way more, especially for a sequel. They should have dropped another 21 heroes (the number of heroes in the original Overwatch) and embraced the chaos as there was when OW originally released.

    There has been a distinct lack of variety and creativity even among the 3 we have gotten. Considering the last few additions to the roster, I suspect this will be ongoing. Two have repeated origins, we have yet another Japanese character who can run up walls and has magical abilities based off a spirit animal, questionably stereotypical of Japanese people in the way that Afro-Haitians would have voodoo magic. We have another Austrailian character from Junkertown.

    I still await the actually creative variety of characters we were teased with for Overwatch 1 when it was announced at BlizzCon 2014, with more shown to us at BlizzCon 2017. If you have not seen them, I suggest you take a look so you can understand just how lackluster the character's we've actually received have been. Watch our 4th new hero be yet another a variation of a hero we had...

    4. In addition to the change in business model for Overwatch 2's PVE mode, the F2P monetization model OW2 has changed to is also predatory, as you would expect from Blizzard especially following Diablo Immortal this year. Prices for skins are absurdly high, many are minor changes from their base (a different jacket on Kiriko for example). Other games with a similar business model are FAR more rewarding for playing without buying anything, Fortnite being a great example, where you can generally purchase the premium Battle Pass just by earning V-Bucks via the free Battle Pass, in which you will earn more V-Bucks where you can buy the next season's premium Battle Pass, and earn more V-Bucks, of which you can of course buy whatever you want from the store. Existing rewards from OW1 were not updated to match the quality of the new OW2 skins (the faces for example have not changed). They have been deceptive by saying they were updated in any fashion, it was only the materials which are GLOBALLY updated with the engine. The amount of time it takes to earn anything is hysterically long, literally months to earn one thing. Paying $60 will not equate to the value of purchasing OW1 for $60.

    I never usually review games. The PVE mode will have to be incredible to make up for this dumpsterfire.

    Edit: 6/8/2023 - Coming back to this, I am solidifying that this game is a 0/10 with the news about OW2 PvE having been canceled.

    Хоть и не ждавшим нового контента в OW, я часто слышал о новых обещаниях и революций которые могли бы перевернуть эту игру и вернуть всех предыдущих игроков, кто решил забросить игру. Все это просто наглая и мерзкая ложь в сторону комьюнити которая верила Близам и действительно ждали чего-то грандиозного, что в конечном итоге и привило игру к таким оценкам, которые я считаю полученыХоть и не ждавшим нового контента в OW, я часто слышал о новых обещаниях и революций которые могли бы перевернуть эту игру и вернуть всех предыдущих игроков, кто решил забросить игру. Все это просто наглая и мерзкая ложь в сторону комьюнити которая верила Близам и действительно ждали чего-то грандиозного, что в конечном итоге и привило игру к таким оценкам, которые я считаю получены заслуженно.

    PvE режим. Было очень много сказано о том что в PvE будет много сюжета, новые механики, способности и т.д. Все кто следил за тем выступлением, уже понимали что ИМЕННО ДЛЯ ЭТОГО и выходит 2 часть. Вопрос, на кой х** вы выпустили тот же OW в котором вы ввели изменения которые могли быть и в первой части. Скажите прямо что вы хотели ввести новую систему доната, и вам нужны деньги! Зачем устраивать столько паразитных публикаций о новой части, если по сути в ней нет ничего нового. Все те изменения которые есть во второй части, могли бы выйти и в первой, если вы банально завозили их в первую часть, а не объявили затишье и громкий выпук о НОВОЙ ЧАСТИ ИГРЫ ( которая не принесла ничего нового).

    Многие скажут: "А КАК ЖЕ НАТИСК, А КАК ЖЕ НОВАЯ МЕТА 5x5???". Дорогое сообщество, и те индивиды кто действительно оправдываются этими пустыми словами в адрес новой части. Вспомните о тех режимах которые ровно также выходили и в первой части. Почему Близард тогда не сделали OW2 для тех режимов, тогда бы мы смело сейчас играли в OW5))). Мета 5х5. Тоже самая история, вспомните когда Близы добавили 2х2х2, почему ей не было добавлена новая часть с громкими высказываниями.

    Донат стал через чур жесткий, который не пощадит не новых игроков, ни старых. Я считаю что это может повлиять на OW в хорошую сторону, я не противлюсь этому, но зачем делать его таким дорогим ( говорю лично про РФ ). Даже если брать донат из Fortnite, я могу потратить лишь 500р за бп, и получить донатной валюты которая будет превышать ту, которую я изначально купил путём обычного выполнения заданий и вкачивания уровня. Здесь же нету ни какой мотивации для гринда валюты. Особенно жалко что для старичков не дали даже 1 бесплатный боевой пропуск, хотя только эти люди и держали на плаву эту игру все эти 3 года.

    В завершении хочется просто попрощаться с этой игрой, потому что мой уровень доверия к Близард значительно упал, и возвращаться в эту игру я смогу лишь в PvE режим который выйдет уж точно не скоро. Обидно что многие игроки и так схавают такое поведение, а новички не будут сильно противоборствовать, ведь для них игра стала бесплатной. Но я счастлив что игра останется прежней хотя бы в моих воспоминаниях.

    It just feels like a patch to OW 1. Stuff is way overpriced. There a free way of getting stuff but it takes a lot of time, even if you are paying. I do not want to feel like I work for the game I just want to have fun. New heroes blocked in the battle pass are just a bad decision. I know all companies focus the money, and is fine, however Blizzard crossed the line here.

But unfortunately it fails to deliver what it promised, it's just a a decent game RIDDEN with AWFUL microtransactions, like playable characters hidden behind a battle pass and overpriced skins. To sum up, dear Blizzard, adding few new maps, one gamemode and 4 characters to the game IS NOT a sequel it's just a little DLC at best, that really lacks content, for game like Overwatch, this whole game should be a free update to first Overwatch in the first place...

Раньше у меня хотя бы мотивация была в игру заходить, ведь за каждый уровень давали контейнер и каждую неделю можно было получить ещё 3, с которых падали скины и монеты за которые можно их купить. Теперь же либо донать либо получай по 60 монет в неделю, может к старости накопишь. За ПВЕ контент вообще ничего не слышно, вроде бы сказали, что в 2023 году стоит ожидать. Кароче могу сказать только одно, спасибо поел. было очень вкусно.

    And if that was it, I would still have given this a mild review and rating simply because I love Over Watch. However the update to the competitive matches it utterly horrid. You win 7 or lose 20, in order to make any kind of progress. Now think about that, win 7 or lose 20, which means the DEVs at Blizzard think thats about what your W/L should be. in the end, waiting for a day, or two just to be greeted with the same rank, or even taking one step is terrible.

    Im still pretty much not in love with the game at all....

    Original Overwatch had everything for players that were not mega fps players, but still wanted a fast phased environment where tactics, reaction time, map awareness, TEAM PLAY and play styles made sense and allowed players to find a hero that matches their style and skill cap.

    Overwatch 2 is... like any fps .
    You wanna play defensive/supportive tank? Too bad, you get more out of your character by doing damage. You wanna play supportie support? Too bad, everything does so much damage you get more out of killing than healing/supporting. You wanna play dps.. well you got no tank.. and no space... and no heals... and you go on solo missions without team play in the backline and no one will take the point, and you loose.. but at least you got some pewpew kills.

    it's a **** show where you can't heal up your ONLY tank, and you can't survive as a healer, and everything just dies in seconds, there is no teamplay, and you just run from spawn or get spawn killed.
    It doesn't allow different play styles only aim skill (which is great if you Like it... but there is other
    games for that)

    (I don't think the issue is that there are too many dps players in OG overwatch.. it's just that it was 16 DPS Heroes vs 6 tanks & 6 Healers... which means it's a bigger chance to find a hero that suits you in the dps poll...)

    we don't even need to talk about the UI Downgrade.
    or menu hierarchy..... it's just sad. Everything is just sad.

    I was pretty content with the OW1 system. I bought it during the initial release. You got lootboxes but you could buy whichever skin you wanted if you were diligent and saved enough coins.

    I was pretty content with the OW1 system. I bought it during the initial release. You got lootboxes but you could buy whichever skin you wanted if you were diligent and saved enough coins. You weren’t forced to pay a cent, there was no illusion of items being obtainable for free. You could actually get them if you were dedicated to the game.

    Now those SAME items from the old version and being resold at higher prices for no reason. Just because they updated the game and slapped 2 on the cover. If I wanted to buy a skin in the old version I could get it with coins pretty reasonably just by playing the game every day.

    Do you know how long it would take for me to get this skin now? 32 weeks. 60 coins a week. 8 months. FOR 1 SKIN. So now I suddently can’t get the same skins from the old version.

    I’m actually being PUNISHED for playing in the new version instead of being incentivized to play it. Less rewards from playing the same exact game. And I bought this game 8 years ago.

    You can make a new skin that costs 10000 dollars, I don’t fing care. Slapping 2 on the title doesn’t give you the right to increase prices on the old content, gatekeeping it and making it virtually unobtainable without paying.

    Nowdays games are supposed to either give you a reward with enough playing, or lock the reward behind a paywall making it unobtainable at all. It’s usually fine for cosmetic items, but why give the illusion that an item is actually obtainable by playing when it’s not?

    NO ONE is going to play for 8 months to unlock a single legacy skin.

    People who would play the game regardless will keep playing it, people who would buy skins regardless will buy them, but the people who would grind for the free rewards (that any game should have) will just drop the game.

    I hope their shareholders will be happy with their next monetary failure, because I sure as hell am mad. I wanted to play, but I’m not going to them you one damn cent more

    I've been playing Blizzard games for as long as I can remember being a PC gamer ever since I got a 4.0 in 6th grade and my mom and Dad let me get any videogame I wanted and I picked out Starcraft.

    I was beta phase one of wow, went to blizzcon, have bought tons of premium merch (seriously, my reinhardt action figures are rad) and I've basically played everything they've ever made. ****

    **** this though, so goddamn much. Blizzard has ruined a videogame I paid for and has the gall to use the money we spent on OW to make this fail of a "sequel" that embodies every single thing wrong with modern gaming.

    I hope they fail and I wish I could play my favorite game still. For the first time in 25 years I have 0 Blizzard games installed on any of my devices.

    I suppose this is what it means to grow up, at least according to Nanamo :/

    Есть откровенно мусорные ДПС, например, моя любимая Симметра. Принцип игры на симке такой: вы начинаете игру — заходите на точку, вас выносят за секунду, вы бежите с респы. И так далее по порядку.
    Танк существует сам по себе, ДСП существуют сами по себе. Вся тактика осталась у хилов — просто бегать за дпсами и танком и хилить их. Если дайв-дпс ворвался в вашу команду, скорее всего, один из хилов сдохнет. Попробуйте на такой скорости кинуть слип аны в тонкую цель.
    Ориса, да и вообще танки — неубиваемые чудовища. Если у вас нет эскейп-абилки на хиле — вы труп. Если у вас на дпсе нет эскейп-абилки — вы труп.
    На такой огромной скорости игры практически нет тактики.
    Мне нравится овер именно как тактический шутер. Удаляю игру.
    П.С. про донатную помойку я промолчу — ибо мне было пох на скины.

    This game looks poor compared to other FPS alternatives.

    It lacks any sense of progression, you don't get any meaningful rewards for winning matches. Market prices and content they sell is just useless - cosmetics that nobody see cost money, its a joke. Support classes are designed one shot, some classes are really awful and imbalanced, while other useless. I think Blizzard need to

    I think Blizzard need to reduce appetite for money and start thinking about quality of the product. They released this game so it can die faster. Managers and game producers should find another job after failing such title.

    So i really should to finish challenges during 8 months to open one skin? I think even developers were not working so long for this ga... update.
    Overwatch 2 missed all things we liked at first game: rewards for best impact, free skins, interact with enemy team after match, loyal lootbokses. All game feels like somebody wants to f*** me even if i get it for free.

    Overwatch 2 is a free to play game, and I’d definitely recommend trying it out if you haven’t to see how you feel about the gameplay and to see how well it runs on Steam Deck. Despite its flaws, it is still worth playing, but some of the decisions with how certain content has been handled in-game are weird. Overwatch 2 is yet to reach the highs of the original Overwatch, but it is still a great multiplayer game to play on Steam Deck. I enjoyed Overwatch 2 quite a bit on Switch despite the visual and performance cutbacks, but it really shines on Steam Deck.

    While the game is called Overwatch 2, this all seems more like a transition to a full new game. The biggest changes are dropping the 6v6 gameplay in favour of a much more exciting 5v5 format. Three new heroes are also available, along with a new game mode, but for a final and real verdict, everyone should wait for the upcoming PvE segment.

    Overwatch 2 delivers high-octane multiplayer gameplay and a wholly improved version of the much-loved hero shooter. Now that the dust has settled, it’s becoming clear that despite a number of teething issues, the game manages to do what many sequels struggle to; build upon a successful game, and make it even better.
