@AskPS_UK Hi, I’m currently unable to login into Overwatch as I keep getting an error message on my PS4 saying “you need PlayStation plus". However, I do have PlayStation Plus. I believe this happened after the PS4 system update.

@Canadianguyehh Maybe it has to do with how much better N. Sane Trilogy sold by comparison. Personally, I think Vicarious Visions knocked it out of the park with that design. Crash 4 to me just looks like they were trying to capitalize on the art direction of Fortnite, Overwatch, etc.

@Jay3OW Anyone that disagrees with this, you're the problem. Competitive is toxic by nature private profiles or not, if you are afraid to get flamed then do not queue the mode. If we want Overwatch to be good competitively then we cannot keep defending these soft players.

Overwatch 2 is a result of lazy blizzard employees who don’t wanna fix their characters, with a dash of PvE

@JaspersGayming @PunishedYeezus @Tensa_The_Sage she was made as support but gives damage like a DPS. with a shield of her own, the issue stems from that you can basically cheese your win if you have one Brigitte and everybody else is a Tank. because of her is what forced overwatch to develop roleQueue

@gamingonlinux Hi. Do you know how to get Overwatch working within Steam Deck's game mode? I could get the game loaded in Desktop, but trying to run that through game mode would cause it to crash.

@PlayPodCo @ivandcc @therealcliffyb Here’s the cod formula: if it’s broke don’t fix it but each dev studio puts their own spin in with a 2 to 3 years of development time. If it doesn’t work, there’s always the next COD. Plus if they get too creative you end up with BO4 with a manually healing overwatch clone.

I wonder if there’s any value in looking at WAR in terms of Overwatch or League I guess the main issue is determining who that “replacement” would even be, seeing as teams usually have the exact number needed to fill a team

@Tensa_The_Sage I mean Paladins is 5v5 and doesn't have a problem. So overwatch being 5v5 will be weird in the beginning but fine after awhile ✨ just give it a chance✨
