    Не могу поиграть, очередь в 20000, при чем после того, как очередь подходит пишет что не удалось соединиться к серверу. Оптимизация ужасная, с 200 ФПС упало до 60. И близы походу забыли что у радуги 7 цветов, а не 6.

Blizzard has put on the act threat removing lootboxes was a move to benefit their players when in fact it’s been a facade to implement a more lucrative and predatory model. Other games in the genre have much more rewarding and player friendly battle passes. Would not recommend this “sequel” to anyone under any circumstances.… Expand

    Requiring a phone number to help prevent a toxic community? This not only is a flimsy excuse for requiring unnecessary information that will be sold to 3rd parties but it also locks those with less money out of the game. If Blizzard wants a toxic free environment they should start by removing themselves.

    Did you like playing DPS before? Well, now you can have the same experience immediately upon booting up the game!

    I don't buy the DDoS excuse for a moment. I'm not going to say it's not a possibility, but I think it's an improbability. First off, they have the exact same problem with every game release & WoW expansion I've played and yet... this is the first time it's coupled with a fairly negative user experience they can shift the conversation away from. DDoS would not break things like your inability to team up in-game when you do actually beat the queue.

    They simply either didn't expect the flood of interest in the game, or they do not want to ramp up server space enough to meet it: the game is essentially launching in maintenance mode, like the original Overwatch did. Excuse me, coming into Early Access in maintenance mode. They stopped an actual game that players paid for in favor of an Early Access F2P game. I should clarify that the queue time to log into the game / supposed DDoS is a curiosity and doesn't influence my score in the slighest: The game is just that bad.

    Meat and potatoes: The gameplay. It's Overwatch but worse. The removal of a player might lend itself to shorter queue times as nobody wanted to play Tank, but they didn't address WHY nobody wanted to play Tank, and in fact, leaned into exactly why nobody wanted to play Tank. They have been looking at game balance from the perspective of the DPS players, the most popular role by far: After all, if every match is waiting on the Tank spots to fill up and you're needing to wait 15 minutes to play as a DPS, there's a -lot- of those players in the game. Again, instead of making a better experience for the Tank players, they've attempted to make Tank gameplay appeal to DPS: Turning it into a DPS and not a Tank. Similarly with Healers, the latest Healers can deal respectable damage, and are often played that way first and foremost. Kiriko, the newest Support is no exception, capable of dealing ABSURD damage but with sub-par Healing potential. My point is- this is turning Overwatch more into a game like Valorant, which is already better at being Valorant than Overwatch could ever hope to be. And, you know, it already exists. People will tell you that Tanks and Healers have no point until they aren't getting protected or healed and then "Where's the shield?" or "Where's the heals?" - there's a reason these DPS players still stick around. Because Overwatch, with role diversity, is actually a pretty cool formula. People just get a bit tired of being bullied to no end on any role besides DPS, when you basically can't do anything but rely on your team for help. No surprise everyone wants their chance to just frag out and treat the objective-based team game as a DM. Even though DM exists as a mode... Again, this DPS-ification has lead to faster player-down times and each team has less "meat" on it than it did before, as they're incapable of buffing each individual tank to the level required to make up for a lack of two tanks. Zarya being a great example of how poorly they've balanced the game: You now have two charges of bubbles, shared for each bubble. You can bubble yourself TWICE! - until you've used both charges, then between them, one charge comes back as fast as an individual bubble did before. So, in the grand scheme of things, Zarya has half the bubble potential in an extended fight. And you're the only Tank. At least you do more damage..

    The battle pass: It's really bad. I'm not even aggressively against monetization but... two battle pass levels now was one level before: Which gave you a loot box. Also, you got loot boxes for all manner of things. A loot box had 4 things, rolled by rarity, guaranteed to not be a dupe until you'd gotten all things of that rarity. Instead of one loot box with 4 rolls, you -might- get 2 things depending on the specific levels. If you did not buy the battle pass, you get essentially nothing, as the "free" rewards are spread very, very thin. In the grand scheme of things, there is a LOT less content added to the game, and that content you must now purchase with no real capability of "playing to earn" - the avenues of free currency and rewards are extremely limited. It doesn't seem like it's impossible to get the hero but there's less content.

    Objective-based challenges are also very bad for the health of the game. Getting the Competitive ones is going to be a huge grind, so you're absolutely going to have games where somebody picks a character they don't really want to be on just so they can rack up that one specific stat they need for the battle pass. I'm all for letting people play what they want - don't want to be the meta character (Junker Queen) because she can't rack up Mitigation? Okay. Well, if you DO want to be her, and you aren't, so that you can mitigate damage as a hero you don't otherwise want to be? That's a problem    … Expand

    From the very first second you enter the game you are greeted by a wall of advertisements for the "micro" transactions and the overly complicated monetization systems. When you literally prefer the old loot-box system, you know you're not playing a game anymore. Not only did i hVe to suffer 3 years of no love to overwatch 1. Now they completely replaced it so I can't even go back.

    The game is fine. However the monetization scheme is unacceptable. It's also still basically a beta in terms of bugs and balance, to which ActiBlizz seems blissfully ignorant. Yet another reason to #BoycottBlizzard

    A Regressive Sequel That Fails its Fans

    Overwatch 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the beloved multiplayer shooter, falls disappointingly short of its predecessor. Lack of progression, disregard for its customers, and the troubling decision to withhold promised PVE content, while keeping the community in the dark. Regression, not Progression: Overwatch 2 fails to build upon the    A Regressive Sequel That Fails its Fans

    Overwatch 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the beloved multiplayer shooter, falls disappointingly short of its predecessor. Lack of progression, disregard for its customers, and the troubling decision to withhold promised PVE content, while keeping the community in the dark.

    Regression, not Progression:
    Overwatch 2 fails to build upon the success of the original game, offering little in terms of innovation or meaningful changes (well other then new shop and battle pass). It feels more like an incremental update rather than a true sequel, lacking the necessary advancements to justify its existence.

    Zero Respect for Customers:
    The developers of Overwatch 2 have shown a concerning lack of respect for their dedicated fanbase (several times). From poor communication to a lack of substantial content, it seems as though customer satisfaction is not and never was a priority.

    Concealed Cancelation of PVE Content:
    One of the major attractions of Overwatch 2 was its promised PVE content. However, the developers knew well in advance that this feature would not be available, yet kept the community in the dark ! This deliberate omission further erodes trust and diminishes the game's credibility.

    In conclusion, Overwatch 2 fails to deliver on its promises and falls short of the expectations set by its predecessor. The lack of progression, coupled with a disregard for customer satisfaction and the concealed cancelation of PVE content, taints the game's and company's reputation even further. It is disheartening to witness a sequel that fails to live up to its potential and leaves loyal fans feeling betrayed and broken.    … Expand

They did this once before with War Craft III: Reforged actually replacing the original War Craft III (meaning that War Craft III was patched to the Reforged engine, including stripping it of several features it used to have, whether you bought Reforged or not). This is a business practice that needs to be stopped. This is, effectively, a long con bait-and-switch, having people who buy one game and then several years down the line you just wipe that game out and replace it with one that's missing features and content. This FORCES people into the new version, even if the older version is better.

    On top of this, Activision/Blizzard are now violating sales laws in certain countries with their store, the same technique that Bethesda was busted for doing in Fallout 76. And when you are starting to emulate THAT game, you know you're in trouble.    … Expand

    People are flaming healers for not being able to heal fast enough even when they are spamming, because 1 tank can't tank enough which also puts precure on everyone else, and some people are just don't understand that they need to use cover and corners to stay alive, but the game is still fundamentally broken because it wasn't made for it.

    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.
