    i miss playing overwatch, i hope they make it free to play soon no one is going to want to pay for a game that doesn't have much of a playerbase or new content, but people will play a free game, and suddenly, small playerbase problem won't exist!

  • Vstam121 CurbStomp (@Vstam121) reported

    @DazzlingDazzaD @QuakeNBake7 @AtlsShrugd He's right though, all they've said is "popular games" which basically comes down to COD, Overwatch and Diablo Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 would be exclusive if they weren't announced Sorry, but at least you can play Crash and Spyro games on PC/Steam

  • Callifarrious 🐀😸 Hiomattion 🦅🇺🇸 (@Callifarrious) reported

    I think what's most frustrating about playing overwatch is that I will know what's wrong on our team and offer suggestions to fix them, but my teammates seem to ignore it in favor of losing

  • OWGrandma Dani Ellis (@OWGrandma) reported

    Anyone else having issues with Overwatch stuttering randomly since the patch? It's not my PC or internet because everyone in my group was experiencing it

  • itsKanashiii ✨Kana✨ (@itsKanashiii) reported

    @indxgokun its pretty good actually, the real issue is that its overwatch

  • SearchBro Search for it bro. (@SearchBro) reported

    @MaibergerAustin @sunrbg @Kotaku I gave up on it today, uninstalled. When it's not giving me problems it's uncut *******. But I can't stand a crash mid game. Hate having to go back to overwatch but whatevs.

  • RlCHTERS ★ ꒰꒷‍‍ 𝐀𝐏͟𝐎͟𝐋͟𝐋͟𝐎 . (@RlCHTERS) reported

    // i am genuinely unfazed by her calling the verse toxic when she called overwatch verse toxic due to me constantly holding her accountable . she knows she’s the problem

  • lzap Lukas Zapletal (@lzap) reported

    ~ Fortnite does not launch, dad. - Internet does not work, kid. ~ But Overwatch does not work either. - The same problem. ~ Ok, I am turning off Playstation and will just watch YouTube on my tablet. - If you think it's a good idea, kid, go ahead! :)

    You should be able to private message teammates in overwatch but only for the duration of the game. That way you can address issues or make suggestions without them getting defensive for being put in a position of criticism in front of the whole team.

  • InfiniteRhizome The Weeb Sheriff™ 🦆🏳️‍🌈🦦 HorizonForbiddenOtter (@InfiniteRhizome) reported

    @Akira092421 Yeah sure it wasn't because overwatch existed and it failed just like battleborn because you already have a best in class. This is why service games are a huge risk. If you can't make it work on the 2 biggest platforms, you'll never will. He probably wants uncle Phil to buy him.

  • IISplashII Splash (@IISplashII) reported

    nah that category four team got something fr they gon be a problem post draft. im going my indian *** to overwatch

  • _TeamKillOW Ishmael Green (@_TeamKillOW) reported

    Yeah the problem with Experimental is its not deadly enough. Overwatch is better when it feels dangerous and you risk your life by being out of position and you can die quick. Nothing dies without a war in experimental. Too grindy.

  • danny53178592 bobby (@danny53178592) reported

    @porscheFanNYC The problem is, we closed the mental institutions (for good reasons) but what did we do with the patients? Out of “compassion” we just let them go wherever. We need to open up the institutions again but with more accountability and overwatch

  • ItzMild #FaZe1 ItzMild 🎮 (@ItzMild) reported

    Really trying to get this rom to work, if its not working by 9:30 we are doing Overwatch/Valorant

  • C0smicstarrr L U N A 🌙 (@C0smicstarrr) reported

    @_cuppcaake From overwatch saying “ thank you and we took care of the problem” Don’t let people like her get away with it. Anyways, sorry for the rant I hope you feel better .

  • WEEKENDNACHOS69 Anthony (@WEEKENDNACHOS69) reported

    @tsunederes The only thing that can fix Overwatch is a C&D letter

  • jarooon5 jaron (@jarooon5) reported

    tryna play overwatch with a broken hand yeowch

  • QuakeNBake7 The Great Exposer (@QuakeNBake7) reported

    @DazzlingDazzaD @AtlsShrugd First off all Activision IPs belong to Microsoft Second only COD and Overwatch are multiplat Everything else exclusive including a nee Spyro, Crash etc MS owns all of it you clown

  • selnor1983 Richard Loveridge (@selnor1983) reported

    @Soplox @IronClawGaming @JeffGrubb No they said the existing 'popular' games would continue to be on PS. Thats Overwatch, COD and Diablo. All 40 million + gamers. Don't expect to see Crash 5, Guitar Hero, Tony Hawks etc on PS. They arent considered popular in today's market.

  • QuakeNBake7 The Great Exposer (@QuakeNBake7) reported

    @Reignited_Spyro @crashmultiverse @mr_evaporation Really? So why did Activision regular Toys for Bob to being a COD support studio? Face it, Crash Spyro and Tony hawk combined aren't even 1/100th as popular as COD COD and Overwatch are the only games that will stay multiplatform.

  • GeorgeStoumpos George Stoumpos (@GeorgeStoumpos) reported

    @oskool_g I remember people making videos of the game's potential but it was **** and also there is overwatch. PS4 wasn't the problem as warfame was a success

  • shiryufontana lil gamer (@shiryufontana) reported

    @bit_by_bit_code @Popelovesart @TheActMan_YT I hope a new one can come and make its place into the market,i liked overwatch but it didnt have a good live service (+overwatch 2 is a joke) but it is sad to see wasted potencial

  • ICYoyoDaBlack Bernard Lamar Rice (@ICYoyoDaBlack) reported from Fort Collins, Colorado

    I’ve played Overwatch on PC since launch and have had it crash maybe twice. I’ve been playing Apex for like 2 years and it crashes like once a session.
