"Do not let your children play Overwatch 2," said a Twitter user who came across this. "My 12 year old son found custom games within it, one called 'Sexual Harassment' and one game that simulated the female characters being raped. Thankfully my son realized it was bad, closed the game, and told me. Don't pl
Blizzard has done the impossible - it's got gamers liking loot boxes . No, not because it improved upon the controversial microtransaction, but because it replaced them with something even worse: the Overwatch 2 battle pa
It's soon going to be a month since Overwatch 2 launched, and like with any class based multiplayer shooter, balancing is always being worked on. However, even though it's not been too long since launch, players are already starting to complain that regardless of updates, certain Heroes are still imbalanced and waiting periods are too long. It has also already had its fair amount of controversy, and that's rarely ever a good th
Likewise, anyone who follows the FIFA community even a little bit is cutting inside to trivela from the edge of the box. It’s one of those things that would be fun if you stumbled across it with your mates, but is less fun when it’s the only way anyone in the world tries to shoot now. Ironically, despite the bulk of my complaints here, the trivela is a perfect example of something that needs to be patc
The US Department of Justice and Acti-Blizz have been holding legal discussions regarding the Overwatch League esports tournament. The main reason for these discussions is Acti-Blizz breaking antitrust rules stemming from a "competitive balance tax". The talks have reportedly broken down after Activision "refused to make certain concessio
Described as unrewarding and grindy - and tied to an in-game store that's overpriced - Overwatch fans are longing for the days of randomized loot. They also complain that the change in how to earn in-game currency is making them "toxic", as they're primarily focused on completing challenges to unlock skins, rather than enjoying the game. All in all, players are looking for big changes to Overwatch 2's economy, feeling that it's taken on far too many of the negative traits associated with free-to-play ga
Overwatch 2’s launch had so many dire issues, from long queues for games and progression transfers to frequent disconnects to DDOS attacks, that Blizzard offered a double XP weekend to say sowwy . A second starts on October 28, and another on November 24. There’s also a legendary Reaper skin up for grabs if you log in anytime before October
The new system updates your rank once every seven wins or 20 losses, making it particularly hard to follow. Players also feel that they are not being rewarded despite getting multiple victories. "Making us win seven games to see our new rank is stupid. You can literary be the team MVP every single match you play and go 7-4 only for your rank to stay the same or even go down," said one Reddi
Overwatch 2, however, is facing a unique issue, where the queue times for DPS and Tank are over ten minutes , but only around two minutes if you pick Support. It seems that nobody wants to help their team out from the sideli
This is perhaps one of the weirdest bugs you've ever seen. We've all been disconnected from games before, that's nothing new; however, D.Va players have been experiencing a very unusual phenomenon that's hard to expl
"It's a really weird direction for them to make such massive maps while removing 2 players from the match. Push doesn't appear to be designed for 5v5 at all," said one of the comments on the discussion thr
In the run-up to the Resident Evil 4 remake, fans have been sharing their favourite Easter Eggs online. The game was full of strange little quirks, both accidental and deliberate. After the mine cart section, there’s a skull which, when interacted with, will give you piles and piles of money. Some claim these are the takings from the enemies slain in the aforementioned cart level, others that the money was there regardless. I’m not sure if it will be back in the remake, but I’m leaning towards ‘no’ - it just seems a bit too silly for games these days to keep
I think it's pretty clear that nobody likes microtransactions. Mostly because introducing them to a game, especially one that's free-to-play, often results in progression being skewed to compensate for it. Overwatch 2 maps|https://overwatch2Tactics.com/ 2 surely has some of those issues, with Coins taking too long to unlock, resulting in players having to spend real money to unlock new sk
The company has also had to reduce the Cleaning House weekly challenge from 20 to ten team kills . 20 is an astronomically high number to expect from people when it’s easier to coordinate ferrets than Overwatch play
The bone of contention was a soft salary cap that the company put on Overwatch League teams. While the Department of Justice was making ground, it seems that negotiations have come to a standstill. Reportedly, Activision Blizzard "refused to make certain concessions, including anti-salary cap rule changes that would last beyond the company’s impending acquisition by Microso
