Well it is an update.... all the PVP features are freeThere is definitly interest, but considering how essentially the biggest changes are a new character named Soldier spelt by a dyslexic and one less player per team....
Yeaaaaaah OK, wonder if Microsoft will force them to rethink once the buyouts done and dusted and just release it as an update instead.
Show any overwatch 2 gameplay on an old map and ask a player to spot the diffrence, they will really struggle.
Blame video game journalists dropping the ball for the past decade. Even review copies are now going to select streamers.I hate this "You'll get beta access if you watch twitch streamers so we can boast how good our twitch numbers are!" has become the norm.
You mean gaming PR doesn’t want to send free review copies to people who will use it for some kind of braindead political rant?Blame video game journalists dropping the ball for the past decade. Even review copies are now going to select streamers.
Technically it is OW1, OW1 owners will have the same updates, so if you only have OW1 that is what it will look like, what the beta is missing is the PVE features of 2 which OW1 owners wont get until they purchase OW2.I was watching poki play this earlier and at first I legit thought she was playing OW1
No, I mean gaming PR has to find another avenue for exposure, because it turns out making a website like IGN, Polygon, or Gamespot rate their broken unfinished game a 9 or 10 out of 10, and then making them put huge obtrusive ads for that same game on their website, doesn't fool that many consumers anymore.You mean gaming PR doesn’t want to send free review copies to people who will use it for some kind of braindead political rant?
I'm not a competitive player, but I can see why they did this change. Tanks are just not fun to play currently. Orisa rework looks fun.Miss having 2 tanks, I like all the other changes but them going nuclear on tanks is awful.
People have been fucking with social media numbers for the past few years now, buying likes, buying subs, buying follows.I hate this "You'll get beta access if you watch twitch streamers so we can boast how good our twitch numbers are!" has become the norm.
With every change and patch I feel like they're trying to make the battles faster and the ebb and flow of matches not be so long and exhausting. They should re-work 2cp into crazy king(KotH that moves every minute) and make it point based, make CTF Blitz(not regular CTF) a part of the ranked rotation, and make team deathmatch a part of the ranked rotation too while making it point based instead of kill based. Also, make regular DM point based and keep a separate ranked version of it available at all times instead of during just one holiday event.I'm not a competitive player, but I can see why they did this change. Tanks are just not fun to play currently. Orisa rework looks fun.
They have no choice. It's cause and effect due to the pros creating a meta. Plus many agree that they don't want ever want to see a team of tanks vs a team of tanks again.Hope they won't take the 0,1% of players, the professionals and esport players, as a baseline for future balancing and take out the whole fun like they did with OW1. But who am I kidding...

Wait, you were watching the actual game?I was watching poki play this earlier and at first I legit thought she was playing OW1

That's business just like bundles to boast how good game sales are.I hate this "You'll get beta access if you watch twitch streamers so we can boast how good our twitch numbers are!" has become the norm.
Didn’t know this, thanks!It is just an update......Overwatch players who already have the game will receive the update for free.
poki? Are we on a cute nickname basis with these strangers now? This truly is a hell dimension.I was watching poki play this earlier and at first I legit thought she was playing OW1
I like tanks and unlike having a co-tank. I play all tanks except ball well. In general I play all roles but this sounds like a cope by the devs to decrease the prominence of the tank role.I'm not a competitive player, but I can see why they did this change.

Tbf she doesn't have much tits to look at.Wait, you were watching the actual game?
Well it is an update.... all the PVP features are free
you're paying for the new PVE content
Think of it like this, the game is Overwatch 2.0, the same way that WoW's next expansion is being labeled as WoW 10.0The game itself is SO much like the original it's silly to me. I mean, they slapped a 2 on it to claim it's a sequel, but so much of it is exactly the same just with a new UI. It's really off-putting and bizarre to me, honestly.
Which is totally fair, but I feel like it'd be more accepting as "Overwatch 2.0" rather than "Overwatch 2", a pretty silly and small detail, sure. But with just that "2", comes an expectancy from a lot of people.Think of it like this, the game is Overwatch 2.0, the same way that WoW's next expansion is being labeled as WoW 10.0
The PvE expansion is what actually costs money, just like WoW expansions.
Thats because it's not released. It's in a limited beta for now.I didn't even know the game had released already.
Lol same was gone for a while but after a few games I'm doing more kills as a healer than dps xD. OW2 feels the same as 1 so not a major change other than a female Baptist, orisa rework and maps that were day time are now night.i haven't played in a long time but watching some streams i ended up downloading it again. i'm getting destroyed every gamei really can't wait for the PvE stuff. i enjoy the world and characters but the pvp is too difficult to get into. i want some solo/story stuff to mess about in.
True, but I think we should wait to see actually how big the PvE mode is going to be. At least the PvP is free for part 1 owners. At worst this could have been a Left 4 Dead 2 situation.Which is totally fair, but I feel like it'd be more accepting as "Overwatch 2.0" rather than "Overwatch 2", a pretty silly and small detail, sure.

I admit that's something I keep forgetting they're adding, haha. They could certainly fluff it up to feel more like a full fledged sequel, but I guess we'll see!True, but I think we should wait to see actually how big the PvE mode is going to be.

This is what I'm expecting for PvE from what they've shown and talked about:I admit that's something I keep forgetting they're adding, haha. They could certainly fluff it up to feel more like a full fledged sequel, but I guess we'll see!
It depends on the amount of PvE content they give us.I bet they want a full $60 for OW2(PVE) which would be laughable.
