@nintendonomics Idk that doesnt check out to me wouldnt the online be happening on activisions servers? Overwatch is rocksolid on switch so are other 3rd party serverbased games like fortnite Nintendos online problems are more related to bad p2p programming wich isnt affected by the new system🤔

The fan base is gonna go down a lot in the original game. Maybe Overwatch could have its own Halo MCC collection 1 day - when hard-drive space isn't a issue & it's cheaper.

Anyone have any insight into why my Overwatch is all of a sudden super laggy? I have uninstalled, reinstalled, changed settings to lower specs and it is still happening. Is this a just me problem?

taking time away from overwatch has really made me realise, I dislike a ton about the game, and even moreso, the community. The constant whining, the constant problems always cropping up. So I'm really just unsure what I'm gonna do about it anymore :/

@JimSterling It’s interesting that @Kotaku claimed there was no Overwatch 2 news yet I watched it during Blizzcon lol. They probably just watched the opening ceremony and didn’t pay attention to anything after. Gamespot has the whole OW2 thing on YT! They contribute to the problem.

So I think I added clearcpuid=514 properly to my boot for this boot session, we'll see if Overwatch doesn't throw that error anymore...

@_Victorres_ Yeah CoD anti cheat is dog ****. PC gamers been telling Activision its dog **** and they didn't fix it on PC. Its funny too because Overwatch's anti cheat I hear is god like. Why its not implemented in CoD is beyond me.

@nintendonomics Activision has actually a couple of really solid selling switch ports by then crash sold well above a milliom spyro diablo overwatch all did well im sure and the line up for 2021 with diablo 2, thps and crash 4 is surprisingly solid! Still strange that they havn't moved COD over

I might just make the overwatch section of tonight's stream a just chatting stream. I have too many exciting things to talk about. This cat issue is actually driving me crazy, like someone help my poor soul 😭

Overwatch 2 Rein with 2 fire strikes and a cancelable and turntable charge makes him a broken hero 😩

@Kagarinny_ @OWAnonymous_ They tested 1-3-2 to solve the dps queue times because it seems to them that nobody likes to play tanks, then fix the damn game and people would want to play tank. But I'm excited for overwatch 2 the tank changes seem to be good, let's just hope that they care after the release

@Muhku11 @ariezak14 @HirezOps I've had similar experiences with Overwatch sometimes and Final Fantasy XIV, where people are unable to log in due to a lot of demand on the servers so a maintenance is applied to either fix bugs, or sort the servers out entirely. It happens. Not to every game, but some.

the problem with some of these overwatch designs is they are too focused on making the characters cosplay friendly instead of focusing on making good character design choices

(@KirbyLoreDegree) reported
@LETSGOTEKKAH People equate trendy systems as an evolution in gaming. Battle Passes are great for repetitive games where kits are static and leveling is just a number (Overwatch and Apex). Issue arises when less hardcore players join the fray with assumptions of "old is bad"

@plantkuroba playing overwatch, if a female voice comes up in voice chat, the odds of someone on our team harassing her is shockingly high. it's honestly so embarrassing that this is even a problem

Blizz please. From a main tank player-nerf Ball. He is BROKEN. I tried to play him, but he's so oppressive I can't play him because he is so incredibly unfun. Thank god for Reinhardt-at least he's a real tank unlike Ball and Roadhog #Overwatch #OW

after watching a Stylosa vid he made a lot of good points about what's been going on with Overwatch. The lack of communication is really a big problem with Blizzard. I love this game so much, but us fans have been left in the dark for so long. 😔

the fact that blizzard said well we can't really fix overwatch so we'll just make mccree and widowmaker even hotter that'll bring everyone back

@LordKnightBB Honestly, having multiple rounds of beta is the best thing a game can do to make the early release game enjoyable. When Overwatch came out, there was also a bunch of super broken **** that got fixed for release, and then they still spent the first several months patching a ton.

@Respawn @PlayApex My big issue is, we’re partied up and some can’t ready or get booted from matchmaking. The ball has been MASSIVELY dropped here. Back to overwatch soon, I think.
