Looking at the Overwatch Collector's Edition, I scroll down and see... some guy? The text says his name is "Soldier: 76" and his wiki entry says he's a mysterious vigilante/mercenary. So essentially the most boring, generic character imaginable. Drop him into any other sci-fi shooter and he'd fit right in. And be super boring and generic there as well.
Where's spunky, teleporting, timebending, British-accented Tracer?
The world could always use a few more heroes, or in this case friends. Here are some Overwatch Heroes you would want to hang out with.
Blizzard's blending of the FPS and MOBA was a masterpiece of design that met its end too soon.
I miss 6v6, lootboxes and an actual player level. I used to look forward to Junkenstein's Revenge at Halloween and the Christmas event cause of all the cool cosmetics you could earn. I'd play it every day. Now you play it for an hour, earn some stupid charm, and you're done. No reason to play anymore.
I remember those epic dreamworks-like CGIs. I wasn't a fan at all but man, I knew it was a rediculously huge game. OW2 I've seen...nothing, died maybe after a week.
OW2 is a disaster. All these years to make the game 5v5….? And they scrapped PvE? The game just sucks man zero fun.
Activision has admitted that its Call of Duty and Overwatch eSport Leagues are facing challenges that the company might fail to address.
Ha ha these have been in trouble fort awhile so now we talk about it/address it?
How about you explain why you make billions but always have layoff's.
A lot of people here couldn't even read the headline. This isn't about the games themselves, it's about the esports leagues.
Always loved the colorful style and character design of Overwatch, and Tracer in particular, so yeah, seems kinda stupid not to have her statue in the box, and instead going with the boring looking guy.
Blizzard will probably sell the Tracer figure as a separate figure on its store as a premium item.
Blizzard already has so many iconic characters before you even include Overwatch, which makes me wonder how well they would do if they got into the toys to life/amiibo scene. I think there's enough crazy Bliz fans to make this something worth considering, especially if they let Overwatch mature for a year or 2 to get people really into those characters too.
I was almost instantly on board with the Overwatch characters and I haven't even played the game yet. I think they have done an excellent job over the years with character design in their games, excluding the beyond terrible scottish accents for the dwarves.
If your a fan of shooters you gotta have this.
