    Before I had a problem with a guy managing a team where he told me to just forget everything irl and do overwatch only (August 2021) That guy was definitely addicted

    @daifuku381 I think my first stream was overwatch lagging everywhere frame by frame no reactives. it was cool. Vtubing def affordable 👍👍

  • DragonDavyd Davyd (@DragonDavyd) reported

    @HazzadorGamin @PaulTassi Probably gonna be the biggest games will be 3rd party. Cod, Diablo, overwatch. Whatever's next for crash and/or Spyro might not be

    @AstroCyborg @Colteastwood You don’t know anything, I don’t know anything, nobody knows anything about Activision/Blizzard once they acquire them. I believe COD and Overwatch (live service) games will always be multiplat because it makes sense from a business standpoint however single player games no

  • TamaCasterTV TamaCaster (@TamaCasterTV) reported

    @NofoxweregivenF VHS did this when I first tried to stream it, Phasmo and Overwatch is the same. Try locking VHS to 60 fps, or 120 fps and see what happens. From what I've found, it's because second monitor is capped at 60 fps and has issues rendering the 60+ fps from main monitor unless it's 120

  • TruckerLucker Lucker_TRucker (@TruckerLucker) reported

    @DoThaScarnn @Suafps @Rainbow6Game it’s different because siege kinda needs a siege 2 because the engine is so old unlike overwatch which the only problem it had was goats and role que

  • Kiyo_iwnl Kiyo (@Kiyo_iwnl) reported

    @syzou989 @1 @2 tried playing overwatch, but i was so washed and my sens felt so wrong, and i couldn't fix it, so got off. time to hit radiant

  • CoachB0t CoachBot (@CoachB0t) reported

    @jakalsthings @SamitoFPS @OW_SVB I think a fundamental problem in Overwatch 1 was tank damage which allowed goats to exist. Zen goats and Bap goats definitely had damage coming from the support line. But after the nerfs to Brig's damage it was the tanks being able to kill anything they run at that made strong.

    Anyone has a problem that you've played Overwatch every day and syuddenly battle. net says 'install'??

    @Nightowlchemist @JakeSucky The crazy thing is the Overwatch community has done this and they still don’t fix ****. It’s crazy

  • RedLant12166889 Red Lantern (@RedLant12166889) reported

    @btread78 @Ty_Ffs @Dealer_Gaming That is playing nice. They should remove future, Cod, crash, Tony Hawk, spyro, overwatch etc games off future ps plans but so far are committed to cod at least. They could hurt Sony if they wanted to and haven't for some reason.

  • Spectre_7 Fidel Destro (@Spectre_7) reported

    ...but then again, I've never thought Overwatch has a cheating problem. (final shrug emoji)

  • StrangeoSyndro StrangeoSyndro (@StrangeoSyndro) reported

    @Unsaltedsalt__ Perhaps the biggest problem with much reviled elements of the overwatch community stems from how little ActBlizz Execs care about their Devs. This filters down to us the players who may feel angry and abandoned leading to strained relationships amongst players

  • dajokerJTweezy Youdontknowme (@dajokerJTweezy) reported

    @AngryJoeShow Ya know I have a problem with loot boxes in other games but not overwatch. The amount of loot boxes they gave out felt fair to me.

  • yukii_shirou Yuki ❄ (@yukii_shirou) reported

    @Meradin_Unknown @BloodhuntPS5 Great to hear im not alone with this. I have no big problems with playing Overwatch or other games on console but Bloodhunt feels really off. I couldn't figure out good settings yet, but I will keep you updated as soon as I find something useful.

  • KylePotts_ Pottsie (@KylePotts_) reported

    I really wanted to make Overwatch content on youtube but at this point I don't think I can bring myself to do it. So many issues with the game, the company, community being toxic, the annoying ow streamer clique. If I wanted to do it I'd be at the mercy of Blizzard Entertainment

  • dumb_machine ak noto flights (@dumb_machine) reported

    "The PS store is clogged with shovelware-" ok i agree this is an issue, "-and this is unethical" wait what? Fortnite and overwatch are deliberately structurally organized to get children and adults both addicted to gambling, and you somehow look past ads for those games you-

  • Itsl3lueJAy Joshua Brown (@Itsl3lueJAy) reported

    Lmao so glad I stopped playing overwatch after what I’ve seen just today from the news, shits a mess, from the Uber toxic community all the way to the mess that is their esports league. Really sad to see such a fun game continue to crash and burn over and over again

  • Pirate_Pete_ Pete 🖖 (@Pirate_Pete_) reported

    @letsgame91 @GRIMMYRAX @Cjbrizzy I have no issue with fallout being exclusive. Same how I have no issue with PS exclusives But you can't make a multiplayer exclusive that was already multiplat Hurts the fan base and also kills the franchise That's why COD, overwatch, Destiny will stay Multiplat

  • foolycooly017 Fooly Cooly (@foolycooly017) reported

    @BlizzardCS hello I am looking for some help. I have found I no longer have Overwatch origins skins. I own multiple copies of Overwatch on this PS4 console, both Origins and GOTY, had these skins until the update yesterday. app updated to 3.33 today, same issue no access. Thanks!

  • dontgosombra2 dontgosombra (@dontgosombra2) reported

    ngl taking a break from overwatch actually is so broken, no longer want to kill my family and run away into a forest

  • Crusader3456 Crusader, Lord of the Realm (@Crusader3456) reported

    @PaulTassi The same can probably be said about Overwatch and its MTX to a smaller degree. The large revenue intake from the service and mobile segments from ABK are what makes it a $70B price Tage versus a $6B dollar price tag.

  • Crusader3456 Crusader, Lord of the Realm (@Crusader3456) reported

    @PersonaSpeaks @JayBari_ This is why even in their response they only Saud some if ABK's games. Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Tony Hawk, all likely could go exclusive helping to push the Xbox Platform. Overwatch and Call of Duty will like expand platforms just like Minecraft did to Nintendo post acquisition.

  • __KanyeAsada_ Kanye (@__KanyeAsada_) reported

    @EclipseNinjaa @BrotherGrimmy No, that’s not the issue. The issue is the NPC bots that is Overwatch community blindly following any accusation with full mob mentality. If you can’t understand that, you’re the problem
