    Yeah, I'm a sack of **** This brand new game is $60. Way too much for a brand new game. What are you crazy? $60 for the standard version of the new game? That's stupid. Also no campaign.

    This game is nowhere near a 10. It's a 6/10, but I gave it a 0 for all of the lying, paid off, BS hype. I had all the 12 maps memorized in 2 days. Unless you have a group of friends to play with constantly it's a waste of money. The matchmaking does not even come close to pairing you up with appropriate competition.

So I just play versus the AI it's an absolute snooze fest because if your team are not morons and just make sure that someone heals then you'll smoke the AI, but if you have 58 snipers then you may as well just back out of the game. As a kicker I just switched from Playstation to XBox. Not only did the game cost me $100 CAN, now I have to pay $10 a month for the rest of my life to play the game? Good thing it got boring as hell after 3 days.… Expand

    Blizzard . Stop releasing 60 dollar Games with no content. Excellent mechanics, etc. but no Story, no maps, unless you spend another 60+ dll's . then sell a complete game in 120 dlls if that is the real price that you want to sell it

    It is absolutely impossible to perceive such a game design - seriously.
    Okay, so game design, but this cardboard animation and physics, just cry, that this game should be - f2p.
    People, are you serious? cybersport ? what ?

    This game started out great, then it became dull,
    It's not for everyone, and it can sometimes cause huge anger and frustration because of the matchmaking system.
    I don't regret buying it as it was great when it first came out, but I probably won't play it much anymore, I'd like to check out better games than wasting my time playing more Overwatch.

    The game is fun at first, but as the hours drag on you realize this game has no replay value at all. I enjoyed the first couple days, but never missed the game. After that I tried to play it intermittently but found myself wanting to play PvZ 2 or Battleborn instead. This game may have been worth $20, but no more.

    It's funny. The problem is that it takes only a little to finish the game. The rest is ****. It starts a little interesting ( many characters, few skills ) but after playing for hours you realize it's the same . That you have been playing the same **** for five hours.
    The same happened with star wars, the difference is that in this case is the god Blizzard , then you can not say anything.

    For the amount of content that it offers, the game does not worth the price. Further, it still has some technical issues as high latency if you are from Asia, Latin America. I wonder how much blizzard coerce Critic Reviews to be favorable, really unbelievable that this game gets a 10/10

    Hola esta es una critica en español y mi opinión de OW es de que es un fiasco y un total intento fallido de hacer un juego como el TF2 solo que los de Blizzard le agregan los poderes secundarios tipo moba y ya con eso según ellos tiene un juego la pura verdad este juego va dirigido al publico masculino y a niños por el echo de que trata del típico escuadrón de HÉROES y en TF2 no solo son 9Hola esta es una critica en español y mi opinión de OW es de que es un fiasco y un total intento fallido de hacer un juego como el TF2 solo que los de Blizzard le agregan los poderes secundarios tipo moba y ya con eso según ellos tiene un juego la pura verdad este juego va dirigido al publico masculino y a niños por el echo de que trata del típico escuadrón de HÉROES y en TF2 no solo son 9 mercenarios con mucho carisma, la gente que consocio el OW conoció primero al personaje femenino Tracer y luego ala WindowMaker gracias a paginas de arte o vídeos para adultos si saben de los que dijo y para mi es la primera ves que veo mucho de ese contenido para adultos y así ha pasado con todas las Mujeres del OW y hasta ahora la única que les interesa es la D´va por su estilo como chica Otaku Gamer.

    Y otro punto es de que el juego es puro OLINE y tiene los mismos modos de juego como captura la bandera, captura el punto de control, y la que mas me llamo la atención fue la de Carga explosiva como se dice en TF2 (que consiste de llevar por unas vías de tren un un carreta una bomba y llevarla su destino) pero a qui en ves de ser una bomba es una limusina blindada, la verdad es los mismos TF2 sin excepción solo con mujeres muy sexualizadas y el publico no ve las criticas reales que son las de los jugadores a mi en lo personal no me interesa una critica de un critico de Ahora por razones de corrupción, lo malo que el juego esta incompleto solo ONLINE en serio a pero eso si puedes comprar skins que para mi es como si el juego lo hubieran echo hace 6 meses no loan terminado por falta de dinero y como se lo gastaron mas en propaganda de todo tipo si hasta contenido para adultos por que esos artistas no cobran barato y debió ser un buen trato, pero volviendo al tema del Gaming es igualito al TF2 y el TF2 es gratis y la comunidad genial pero esto que esto no es un juego real esto es un juego reciclado y pagar como 999.00 pesos mexicanos no lo vale y creo que sera de esos juegos como TF2 que antes fue de paga y después Gratis y como deje antes ami se me hace un juego incompleto y que aparte sera terminada después de recaudar dinero con los skins .

    Personajes:
    Los personajes de OW para mi y en verdad 2 o mas hacen a uno del TF2 como un ejemplo: WindoWmaker+Hanzo=Sniper del TF2 pero por que miren para los que no han jugado TF2 el sniper tiene varias arnas pero se dividen en 2 Sniper y arco y tiene la misma jugabilidad hasta las dos armas de Window que son el sniper y rifle de asalto eso los tiene el mismos Sniper pero del TFClassic y así con todos Tracer+Lúcio=Scout, Spy=Genji+Reaper+McCree(El spy tambien depende de los disparos ala cabeza), Ingeniero=Torbjörn+Symmetra, este he visto en el juego de OW 4 Heavy=Roadhog+BASTION+WINSTON+Zarya, Medic=MERCY+Zenyatta, Pyro=Mei, Saldado=Soldado: 76+Pharah, y al final mi perosnaje favorito del TF2 que es DEMOMAN que se comforma 2 uno repetido que son: Demoman:REINHARDT+PHARAH(de nuevo)+JUNKRAT ere fianl es el mas copiado por si lanza bombas lapa y su famoso sticky jump, mismas mecánicas en todos los personajes y por favor antes de critica mal o bien un juego comparen los 2 tanto como OW y el TF2 que tiene suerte de ser gratis y no pierden nada

    Motivos por que su éxito:
    1.- Mucha publicidad de cual quier tipo sin perdonar.
    2.- Gaming reciclado de un FPS real que es el TF2 que lleva mas de 9 años apenas en este año.
    3.-Personajes femeninos muy sexualizadas tanto como en FanArt como en el Juego.
    4.-Mucha prensa Corrupta.
    5.-Una jugabilidad muy fácil como en PC y en consolas que la verdad lo puede jugar un niño que juega COD o Splatoon sin tanta experiencia.
    6.-El juego esta dirigido al publico masculino de 12 a 25 años.
    7.-Texturas muy infantiles y no tiene Gore.
    8.-Y personas que compran jugos pro moda.

    Gracia por ver este comentario y piensa lo 2 veces por que como dicen en steam no hay devoluciones Saludos :D!

    PD: Esté es un mensaje para todos los jugadores de OW o fanboys que dicen a los de TF22: juégalo antes de criticar al OW pues mira yo te dijo los mismo con TF2 juega primero TF2 compáralo con el OW y tu dime cuales mejor por que eso de decir que por que tu juegas al OW y muchos estén de acuerdo con eso argumento no se me hace una excusa ni aceptable por que el TF2 ya cumple en este 2016 sus 9 años desde su entrega y se me hace una tontería de decir eso pro que el OW es de paga y por que uno que no le gusta ese juego lo va comprar para hacer una critica buena pero en cambio los de OW puedes criticar al TF2 en total por que es un juego F2P y muchos jugadores le dan de User Score 9.1 t los críticos 9.2 en cambio el OW tiene miren que es raro decir esto un juego reciclado de un juego de VALVE que por los críticos: 9.1 en pc 9.1 en Xbox one y en Play Station 4 es de 9.0 he pero esperate esa son de los críticos pero la que en verdad importa es del consumidor osease el publico y mira que hay un cambio drástico: PC:7.0, y las mas fatales XboxOne:5.7 y Playe Station 4:6.2    … Expand

YOU BETTER READ THIS, I THINK IT'S PRETTY IMPORTANT: It has been confirmed that this game has rigged matchmaking, which works to keep every player at 50% winratio or slightly higher. After playing over 500 matches, i can confirm this is true first hand, my winratio HASN'T CHANGED AT ALL since i started playing. For further evidence check masteroverwatch site, virtually everyone is at 49-55% winrate (except competetive players from premade teams, and even then there's less than 100 players per platform with 70%+ winrate). But how do they do it? Well, for starters, the most obvious, they put you in bad teams so you're predestined to lose, that happens alot, and makes the game very frustrating. But that's not even all, the matchmaking resorts to much more disgusting methods to keep your winrate in check. For example, you are in a good team that won 2 or 3 matches in a row. Ohh so sorry, we have to disband it, because "there are not enough players", and you're back to lobby looking for a new game, even though there were 11/12 players in that match. After that you're probably put into a losing match 1 minute before it ends. Because f*ck you, you'r W/L is way too high! Sometimes they just don't care and straight out disconnect you out of a match, even though your internet works perfectly (and don't worry, you will never disconnect from a losing game, its always when you're about to win, especially if you're the MVP). Just so we are clear, disconnect = instant lose and no way to return to that match. Of course i've quit the game when learned about this, and i would never buy it to begin with. Only if someone warned me...

    Of course this is not a problem if you have 5 friends, who want to play the same game as you, at the same hours as you, and on the same platform... In other words, no. Stay away.    … Expand

    Soundtrack (2/10) - voice acting is silly, and childish, while the music is nothing memorable
    Gameplay (1/10) - heroes are unbalanced, there is zero reward for being a skilled player and zero punishment for trolling
    Graphics (2/10) - there are PS3 games that look better ( let's say The Last of Us)

Sometimes when I try to reload, the game will reload but it will sometimes stop in animation and just quickly doesn't continue to reload. Another reason why I hate this game is my experience with Play of the Game. One time, I used my ultimate and killed four people who was stuck there by another player's ultimate.

    They want to copy tf2 but can't make it a percentage of the fun as it. Blizzard makes no attempts to actually balance the characters they just want to add skins and try to get it in the "competitive" scene. And the game that's obviously made for mouse and keyboard they don't let you use it on console.

They turned what was a amazing game and the best FPS game on the market into a steaming cash grab with severely declining Export viewership, this is important because they sold out the games quality and their fanbase's experience for the overwatch league, role queue, hero pool, the reworking which is in truth the deletion and demolition of despised hero's that the Devs have a bias against or to entertain the bias of the community, have been demolished to the point where many hero's kits literally don't make sense gameplay wise, the games now a complete Trainwreck that isn't worth buying.
