Overwatch 2 is coming only around four or so years from the original. While this seems odd and unique for Blizzard, Overwatch 2 is doing something more sequels should learn from.
Blizzard Entertainment has recently announced the discontinuation of the Hero Mastery Gauntlet mode in Overwatch 2.
They will probably focus 100% on the pvp because if Marvel Rivals steals their spot it will be very hard to recover it
Marvels IP roster is much more interesting than overwatch's... and I'm willing to bet a better developer than actvision/blizzard. If Rivals has a PvE mode its over.
Microtransactions have gotten ridiculously overpriced in recent years, with titles now offering cosmetic skins worth more than some games.
There never was, the only time I paid for a microtransaction was on Blacklight Retribution (PS4) and it was because I enjoyed the game a lot so I felt the devs should get something for all that entertainment (€5 "membership")
I couldn’t believe what Blizzard charged for horse armor and cosmetics in Diablo 4…
I remember back in the day when a season pass was $15 and you got everything included in it. Now, I see them at $60 and you still don’t get everything.
As soon as gaming wasn't deemed nerdy anymore, and reached the casuals this happened. We're smart, but casuals play mobile games and other stuff, and don't really have anything to compare. They think gaming is supposed to be like this and pay for in game purchases.
Tanks are getting some hefty buffs for the Overwatch 2 Season 10 midseason patch. After a lot of community discussion about the role feeling the worst to play for a while, the development team is changing some numbers to make these brutes harder for the enemy team to take advantage of.
Like what? Creating new characters and maps for the same exact game and then charging $60 for it instead of just releasing a proper expansion for the existing game?
Sure......
It's the same game.
The only reason they are letting players transfer over cosmetics is because the game isn't changing at all. Same art style and almost identical character models. It just looks like a $30 expansion that loads of games get (Warframe, Paladins, Fortnite, etc) that they will charge $60 for, nothing groundbreaking imo
LOL Literally could have been done in a patch.
