  • Plague991 Plague99 (@Plague991) reported

    @TheJJJJD Dunno how you guys doing that, I constantly have a problems lighting Overwatch characters, Arhomangel models specifically.

  • clefaeble Fae 🌿 (@clefaeble) reported

    Finally Overwatch making a good decision to make it free to play and adding in a battle pass. The only issue: more micro-transactions, smurfs and hackers

  • lethargic_demon lethargicdemon (@lethargic_demon) reported

    Overwatch is one of the buggiest games I've tried playing lately, seriously has game breaking bugs and yet customer service is so difficult to chat with and no one on reddit can give any helpful advice. Honestly seriously thinking about quitting the game entirely.

  • raspberrykraken Unleash Me (@raspberrykraken) reported

    @geoffkeighley I wish I could email blizzard for them to give me all the money I have spent over the years. Yes I was dumb in giving it to them in the first place. Warcraft 3 is still a broken mess, StarCraft 2 is dead, WoWs story continues to go nowhere. I regret spending $60 on Overwatch.

  • Spencer_t_owen Spencer🍊 (@Spencer_t_owen) reported

    @WingBuffet Ah! I haven't totally experienced that yet-or maybe I have and just haven't noticed! I find myself almost having to relearn the style when I have to switch. I don't know that there's a ton of crossover between painterly and that sort of Crash Bandicoot / Overwatch sleekness.

  • MegabaronOW Luke (@MegabaronOW) reported

    @Snake_Eyes_Red @WaifuX_Warriors @EnderPandaPlayz The issue is this is the stuff that should’ve been just added to ow1 but they stopped it’s development completely while making overwatch 2 that feels too similar to ow1 to call it it’s own game

  • dawn_berlitz21 Nathaniel Greene (@dawn_berlitz21) reported

    @PlayOverwatch i wont be able to play overwatch 2 on 2 accounts....i have issues controlling anger....(i cant easily control it)

  • yashthakrar1996 Yash Thakrar (@yashthakrar1996) reported

    Microsoft has revealed dozens of new titles for its Xbox Game Pass service, including Bethesda's Redfall and Starfield as well as Activision's Overwatch 2

  • Bitterbeard_ Crash (@Bitterbeard_) reported

    @CocaColtonn i mean i enjoyed the PvE events in Overwatch 1, i think the big thing is that the AI was never very good and the enemies weren't all that varied. if they can fix that i can see it being a lot of fun

  • SongSystemTwt Song System | 🎧 (@SongSystemTwt) reported

    @Android_Sparky Overwatch over here getting new characters and Valve won’t even fix TF2’s bot issues. Smh /salty /hj

  • rfloufi E.A Respunch not partner (@rfloufi) reported

    @ottrTweets They are too lazy and greedy to make real buffs and reworks for many legends meanwhile Activision is releasing a warzone2 and blizzard overwatch 2 or Epic Fortnite 2, EA RESPAWN had instead released a brand new Apex 2.0 on mobile founded by benefits of the old broken Apex 1.0

  • AsheBlaster Dreams of an Ashe-solution (@AsheBlaster) reported

    @Hutch2MuchOwO I hate that the new approach to "This game is broken" is "Let's just ignore it and make a new game that no one ever needed" Looking at you, overwatch 2

  • Aranchine Day, Maternal Titan (@Aranchine) reported

    Oh, Blizzard is officially calling Overwatch 2 free to play AND live service? 😬

  • fortzon Fortzon (@fortzon) reported

    @alexplays121 @XI__Aero @PlayOverwatch Do you have reading comprehension issues? I never complained about F2P in my tweet, it's a good thing Blizzard won't charge $60 for an update. And I have always held a view that OW2 is just a glorified update to Overwatch.

  • neutralgay_ bran// ever march heavensward (@neutralgay_) reported

    @sIicksquid I cant fathom why they just didnt ******* update overwatch 1 if theyre going to essentially merge the games like JUST ******* FIX UR FIRST GAME!!!! its such a bad look they see their first game is batshit horrible and are like 'lets just make a second one instead'

  • ghatlyAu BFB (@ghatlyAu) reported

    @YaBoyHi_C93 @OWAnonymous_ I love overwatch, but there are se thing such as meis primary freeze where after playing the beta youcjust have to wonder what overwatch was thinking leaving it like it is now, ow2 will fix this tho and i am excited as ****

  • Savior_Tears ¨̮ (@Savior_Tears) reported

    .@PlayOverwatch any plans to fix blatant throwers that won’t move during match and then tell me to kill myself in team chat for calling them out in comp?? 🤔 #Overwatch #Overwatch2 @BlizzardCS your game is a liability tbh, one of these days…

  • Hard_Pretzel Hard_🥨 (@Hard_Pretzel) reported

    @floofboyftw @XPKYT if you can't wait a single month for new information, clearly this is a you problem. Games do teasers and light reveals all the time. Literally every state of play carries the same titles year after year with barely any news. Bayo 3 has been at it for how long? Overwatch 2?

  • robin_sunshine3 Robin Sunshine (@robin_sunshine3) reported

    @ChiefOfBcrk @geoffkeighley 343i was definitely not prepared to make a live-service at all, but the Overwatch team did a good job with constant content and patches for OW 1. I am more confident in them making it work.

  • folkhorrors lidh (@folkhorrors) reported

    hey given blizzards recent diablo immortal exploitative gambling **** the bed fest idk if i wouldve stuck to making overwatch 2 free to play given that the lootbox system in the og game already caused problems for people lmao

  • Mcboots ブーツ 👢🌭🤡 (@Mcboots) reported

    Overwatch's smurf problem is going to get wayy worse with the f2p model. I hope yall are ready for that hehe

  • CartridgeGames CartridgeGames (@CartridgeGames) reported

    @tinybatsignal A big problem i Can see happening is that they seem to feel like they must cover everything from all the studios they bought. Grounded and Fallout 76 probably didn’t need updates on the main stage. D4 and Overwatch is also kind of pushing It, but they’re new big games still

  • TopDegenerate TopDegenerate (トップ縮退) (@TopDegenerate) reported

    Overwatch 2 should cost money just so they can get some not ****** servers that disconnect me every 2 hours

  • AlexOlorin9 @bysswalker (@AlexOlorin9) reported

    @The_Ant_17 I’m sure there will be many exclusives Just not the big online games: Call of Duty, OverWatch, Diablo, World of WarCraft, Candy Crush Even the single player franchises with big multiplatform appeal like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro probably won’t be exclusive

  • XAbbyRossX Abby's Puffy ***** - BIRTHDAY MONTH - (35% OFF) (@XAbbyRossX) reported

    Trying to play Overwatch before bed but Xbox is giving me an error no matter what game I open.

  • KTN_Senpai KTN Senpai (@KTN_Senpai) reported

    @XboxSupport This is the 3rd time for kicking me out of a comp game on Overwatch please fix this as soon as possible I need those comp games in!

  • Oviumus 🔞Sheepbeeps🔞 (@Oviumus) reported

    @guwumi @MiiyaUwU_EN @Dat_Bui01 It's a mindset issue, which is caused both by the player and the game. My experience with competitive Overwatch is ruined because I was friends with a toxic mercy who always put me down and we never played for 'fun', only for the comp point rewards and ranks.

  • ItsDylHere Enthusiast (@ItsDylHere) reported

    @PlayOverwatch It’s not enough to fix the absolute garbage fire that overwatch is right now

  • ShrimpWide Comically Wide Shrimp 🇺🇦 (@ShrimpWide) reported

    Today i was playing overwatch and i hear my mom call my name loudly, so since i thought i was in trouble, i stopped on the middle of my competitive match and went there. When i arrived, my mom was watching tv, pointed at the tv and said: look, 𝙎𝙬𝙞𝙨𝙨 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚

  • TheTripleEight Tim Corbin (@TheTripleEight) reported

    @MrReckless94 @S3NT1N3L17 @thatoldgamerguy It’s unfortunate the first game became dead competitively and on life support casually. I hope the devs address the issues the O.W. community has been desperately telling them, in time for Overwatch 2.
