Overwatch could have been something more. Something great. Today, we see Blizzard disrespect their heritage.

I remember when i was so invested into the lore of the game every character was so unique or added more to the lore, since ow2 the lore means nothing they just have a random story and thats it just look at rammatra the leader of the faction who declared war on humanity, the same faction who forced humanity to create overwatch….he is just kinda there he didn't even got a cinematic but collab number 647281 did
since when was OW2 not a joke?
OW started to die when OWL was abandoned.
OW stop being a joke after Goats comp, Blizzard ruining OW just because they couldn't handle GOATS comp.
I mean they make OW free to play and the ultra greedy store for skins is kinda normal to me (they must make money somehow) so the game live, but the most dumb thing is why shall i take a fat buck skin in a trash MMR system game that everybody hate + the tuning of the heroes is super delusional. OW is good just the managing of the game is what push people away and its sad cos to me is cool shooter game
What happened to this game 😭 overwatch 1 you are dearly missed
When overwatch 2 released I instantly saw how predatory their new store was and that alone made me quit the game. I knew that no matter how much I played I wouldnt be able to keep up with the skins and stuff without shilling hundreds of dollars or more.
Wai. Wai. WAIT what??? They were working on pve that whole time just to nuke it ??
Man, I used to be so excited for OW skin drops. Now it’s just painful to look at. Like the reanimated corpse of a loved one.
Daily overwatch player here, been playing since 2016.
As long as there’s no pay to win , then all the gouging they do is fine. Only the lowest iq go to the “store” in this game.
Is it bad? Yes! Do I care? Absolutely not . These low iq creatures made the game free for me. So in a sense I also am farming the dumb. And it’s great 😊
That fact that skins cost $80 which is literally the price of helldivers 2 twice is wild, I miss the days where you could spend a little bit of cash to get a cool skin, now you have to pay $20-$30 for a literal bundle of items when all you want is the skin which is like probably $8-$10 in actuality. Sad times man😢
so…they created a new experience bar to fleece whales for skins?
Unironically in the crusade against lootboxes in other games. everyone turned a blind eye to the irony that lootboxes in overwatch were the most fair and great execution in any game. but players in their crusade said nay and now these are the greedy consequences of that ignorance of not being able to seperate things and look at stuff individually. it's such a shame to see what overwatch has become. it's just a shittier fortnite but 10x as greedy.
People still play overwatch 2?
bro i have no idea why ppl even still play probably addiction… I would know, I played for a year longer than I should have…
don't buy anything then. it's f2p and the heroes are also free. 0 gameplay elements locked behind $, only skins. cry more.
Look, they stopped to update OW1 to focusing on OW "2". They cancel the pve and for my part i was digusted how much my main Roadhog was nerfed into to ground for after to be remarked into a character irrelevant of how he was before.
I think Paladins is still going strong, has there been an exodus of O/W players there or are they drifting homeless?
Overwatch was on track to be an absolutely incredible game franchise, now they just want to be a cosmetics shop
I love Juno, I love Ururaka. I have enough coins from the free pass to get Juno’s skin for legit free, and I still can’t bring myself to do it because I don’t want the shame of people thinking I have them money for the overpriced skins.
not tryna defend but is this or is this not a skin collecting game, if you buy absolutely NOTHING you are not going to be better or worse than the player who has spent $430 on this game. I have never dropped any money on this game because i don't need to. Yall are babies that feel like you NEED a new skin and when you want it you complain because you can't get it. This game was p2w one time that i can remember and that was with the new characters in the battlepass, but this was fixed.
Can’t help but think this is gamers faults.
It’s like clickbait. You can blame crappy YouTubers all day, but if the good ones go broke cause their titles weren’t clickable enough, who’s actually to blame?
I miss the old overwatch. The pull system was cool and good and the old event games that came every year was fun and better than the PvE.
Gamers ranting and yapping seems to be a popular trend. Time to complain about cosmetics in a game. Stuff that does not give any competitive advantage.
I feel like these raging babies just want games with cheats and free everything.
comment
Overwatch players deserve this shit because they keep giving their money to Blizzard whenever new skins are released. If people stop buying this shit stuff, everyone would be happier.
A business trying to make money? Who’d have thought it eh 🤷♂️
The sad thing is tho that almost everyone buys those bundles if you work 40-50 dollars is not much but if you think about it that is the price of a whole game so everytime they do a collab they make like 80 million dollars because like 80% of the people buy that sh*t. For example the leesarafim collab everyone has that fk**ing dance with kirko so they all bought it all paid 40 dollars If I was blizzard I would do the same thing they make as much as other games do with 1 collab they basically got way more money out of ow2 than Elden Ring if im correct and they are gonna make more and more its a live service game Elden Ring is not making much money anymore so in the end its the community that is willing to pay all that.
After they made me wait years for overwatch 2 and gave us little to no content on the transition just to make a Fortnite style shop in the game I expect nothing from them. I understand that they could do all these things but why would they? They have taken every chance to shaft their player base. I would rather buy Elden ring, Bg3 and space marine 2 again than buy a skin from blizzard.
Why don’t you whine about fortnite? It’s the same model
Uh they are OPTIONAL purchases for skins. You don’t want them don’t buy them. It’s pretty simple and the game is freaking free. But yes get your YouTube bag whining about cosmetics.
It sucks that these expensive gilded aspects just look terrible, clealy the color schemes availiable for mythic skins were chosen carefully and they all look great, but forcing this "sleek" color scheme on them just unfortunately looks meh at best. It just feels more lazy and cash grabby than most of overwatchs recolor skins.
Im only against the stupid 5v5 and stupid balance for bad players.
Man, I miss the days when I could boot the game up, queue up for Arcade, turn my brain off, and earn enough Loot Boxes that I'd unlock everything the game has to offer for FREE, and have so many credits leftover that I could buy whatever cosmetics came with the occasional seasonal events right out of the gate.
I'm glad I dropped Overwatch the day they taped a 2 to the side of it, went full Freemium, and stabbed the playerbase in the back when they ditched PvE, the sole reason Overwatch "2" existed in the first place.
8:26 this point is sooo understated…. Like if you can hook me into playing your game for hours on end, of course Ill want to add my own personal flair for my character (buy a skin or something) It isnt the opposite like blizzard thinks, where releasing a cool skin is going to draw players in..
I don’t understand this hate. I’ve been playing competitively Overwatch since the start of Overwatch 1, and nowadays you can enjoy this amazing game for free, you don’t have to invest a single dollar if you don’t want to. Appearances don’t make you better, so who cares? The actual prestige is given by competitive ranks, which you can’t buy. Sometimes I wonder if this level of hate for such an incredible game is being funded by a competitor gaming company.
If you think overwatch isnt a cultural ip you haven't seen the dedicated NSFW community behind it
skins on a first person shooter people gotta start thinking a bit more
Y’all realize you don’t have to buy skins right?
I love the game so much, but I refuse to purchase battlepasses and skins. Done. Haven't in years.
Overwatch 2 is just overwatch 1 but you need to spend money to unlock a new hero.
Bell blaming blizzard for farming people while hes farming blizzard for same thing… Classic 🤣
Microsoft needs to recoup $70 Billion so…. yeah. All who thought that purchase was a good idea, start paying.
Hope you're well Bellular! I haven't watched any of your videos in a long time because I stopped playing Blizzard games a year ago. I've been playing my new favorite MMO for over a year now, Mortal Online 2. Even though I can't bring myself to enjoy or play Blizzard games anymore, I've always enjoyed your content, so here's a like and a comment for the algorithm, and good luck to you!
It's a free game selling skins, be happy there is such variety. You already forgot that every 3 months we used to get 3 skins and now there is at least 12 every season to pick and choose from. I like collecting mythic points to unlock things, recolors cost only 20 mythic points how is that expensive? People are piling up so hard on this game when it's literally current games market, all games have cash shops now, especially free ones. Would you rather watch commercials in the queue? Idk how else you want to give people food to live that actually sit and make the game happen. What the hell is wrong with you?
If im having a fun time and enjoying the game. That’s all that matter’s to me
