  • paulthecesar Paul ♡♪!? (@paulthecesar) reported

    @MajinKratosX Okay so let me ask you this. How do you personally feel about non Xbox gamers losing access to Overwatch, Crash, Spyro, Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk, Diablo, etc?

  • tebbens_lee Lee Tebbens (@tebbens_lee) reported

    @PlatChatPodcast May I, politely and meekly, ask for more positivity on the Overwatch episodes? I understand all the issues, but I think there is a large group of fans who enjoy the game and feel there's an overblown storm cloud in every piece of Overwatch content. Its not Halo.

  • bryannaalysa Bree (@bryannaalysa) reported

    overwatch took away loot boxes and now i can’t login to the game. they suck butt now

  • ayeeriaan Rian (@ayeeriaan) reported

    I play any other game lag free, but when I play Overwatch now I just lag and get kicked out

  • drewseize drewseize (@drewseize) reported

    Hey Blizzard, can you put all the maps back in Overwatch? Please? It's really stupid to not let people play maps that are just sitting there waiting to be played. Hollywood. Gibraltar. Havana. Nubani. Heck, even 2CP maps. Then fix Horizon and Paris and add those back too.

    For the people whining about leavers and such in Overwatch. The problem isn't LEAVERS, the problem is terrible games. Improve match quality, and people will stay, simple. #Overwatch #Overwatch2

  • _benui ben🌱ui (@_benui) reported

    As far as I know games like Overwatch use scan codes, so there's no issue with swapping keyboard layouts.

  • god______sword ⚠️ (@god______sword) reported

    this is the problem i think playing overwatch is untenable for sam and he's one of like 5 people that actually work

  • kristwiii kristwi (@kristwiii) reported

    @Fitzyhere I don’t think you will lose a ton of frames in overwatch anyways. In my experience it sound like a power supply issue but can’t be sure. 👍

  • REMAININGHONOR C U P I D (@REMAININGHONOR) reported

    //playing overwatch with people who dont realize theyre the problem EVER 👎🏽👎🏽 ill be so fr if i threw

  • naufalhp Naufal Harits Pratama (@naufalhp) reported

    @zakkiruiner Login overwatch

  • paulthecesar Paul ♡♪!? (@paulthecesar) reported

    @MajinKratosX What about Crash? Overwatch? Guitar Hero? Tony Hawk? Spyro? Diablo? Will Sony also get these franchises for the next 10 years at least?

  • TITAN_MIK ℑ𝔯𝔣𝔞𝔫 (@TITAN_MIK) reported

    @J_Hyde_ That would be fun! You'd definitely need some kind of wander behavior. In XCOM2 I think concealed overwatch only worked if stealth was broken in that round. But there're no rounds in MutantYear Zero when you're wandering right. + they did have patrolling if I remember correctly?

  • cyancy11 cyancy (@cyancy11) reported

    @LuciePohlComedy I'm sorry to bother you in your work update. I am a loyal Overwatch player from China, and I like the role of Mercy very much. Now the service area in China is no longer available, which is a great pity for Chinese players. That's why I want to ask you about the dubbing work.

  • yeaitsconnor Connor (@yeaitsconnor) reported

    what’s my problem bro i traded fornite for valorant then valorant for overwatch, and i can confidently say i hate every game but i continued to play them until i found something else

  • slaveforrt Kingpin Alma (@slaveforrt) reported

    @meech92i @TezFunz2 I wonder if its an xbox related issue?. Had the input bug come up while playing supporr COMP in overwatch 2.

  • GeekNamedMike MiKE (@GeekNamedMike) reported

    @Piepok My problem is, I just feel so tired that I just end up playing Overwatch 2, aimlessly playing it, then I feel like I've wasted my gaming time. Going to stop playing it and try focus on Dead Space

  • HelmHambrgrHand HelmBurger (@HelmHambrgrHand) reported

    Overwatch officially has a shite broken rank system. 3rd straight 7 run w/ maybe 10-12 loses between all 3 runs and stuck at the same rank... Despite even carrying the heals some games... By a large margine

  • sacaitlin (꒪▿꒪) everything is terrible (@sacaitlin) reported

    @Nerd_Shark69 I mean that's a problem I've had forever, usually bc of the format or size of the video happened a LOT with my overwatch clips

  • Arzoroma Jayz Aroma💕 (@Arzoroma) reported

    Overwatch stream is cancelled tonight😭the other half of nitt patrol got too many Wi-Fi issues. Instead. I’ll upload a few funny nitty moments from the last couple days!

  • SussexEsports Sussex Esports (@SussexEsports) reported

    Unfortunately, I still have the account login and you can't stop me😈-funny overwatch guy

  • ZeusieWeusie Julian (@ZeusieWeusie) reported

  • otiyz7 otiyz (@otiyz7) reported

    I was playing a ranked game which just started I get dc and it goes to reconnect window connects but now I am suspended for 19h. I had No lag, No latency my internet was fine. Why am I getting punished for a game I didn't leave? Just reconnect me to the game?? #Overwatch

  • Bloops42 Primo/Bloops (@Bloops42) reported

    @KalikoAF By broken characters or game mechanics 🙃🙃 Ever player Overwatch

  • KevinCow Kevin牛 (@KevinCow) reported

    So they just bought the legacy of other companies. Now they own Doom, Wolfenstein, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Dishonored, Psychonauts, Hellblade, and if the Activision thing happens they'll own CoD, Crash, THPS, Guitar Hero, Warcraft, Overwatch, and most importantly, Skylanders.

  • ArcticFluffys Arctic -NSFW DNI- (@ArcticFluffys) reported

    @cypress_cg valorant is like overwatch + csgo because you have to plant bombs and use abilities there's also aim error whcih means you can't just run and gun (walk and shoot at the same time) because it'll make you inaccurate

  • BigJeffery8 BigBlueman (@BigJeffery8) reported

    @MldGhost How exactly? Cause Activision can't put out a solid game that ain't call of duty or crash?blizzard have done barely anything the last decade except kill starcraft 2 and re-release overwatch, xbox are a house worth 80 billion of aqusitions yet are last place. That's gonna crumble
