I would give the game a 7.5* because you have to pay money for skins And the free revards dont really fo much for me on the battle pass I think thy should put the lootbox system back so you dont need to waste you money on skins
@Rigel exactly y I main noira does damage have can heal. Love seeing all these shorts about how you can't do damage with her when I've won multiple games and got best play as her
@Thadiator as a less than 2 week old player that has taken a liking to Moira, any tips or tricks to be a decent teammate? I honestly dont know much about the game, I learn as I go. But I did go into the game wanting to excel in a support role. I'm not a huge gamer, I've played my whole life, but just started playing shooter games within the past like 3 years or so. So I know I wouldn't really be a vital teammate trying to play any other role. If you have any suggestions, it would be super helpful.
I can't believe they locked characters behind a battle pass. Like, the most exciting thing about OW1 was when a new character dropped and you could ACTUALLY TRY IT
I'm glad they switched to this model instead of "pay... and they pay more". People can now try the actual game for free and have 100s of hours in it before they decide if they want to spend money in it or not.
@Isaiah Doucette But a good question to ask is, is that temporary? What happens when the next battle pass comes out? If the new character becomes exclusively paid for it creates incredible inbalances in the game for free to play players. These games need free to players to keep the player bass up in an evolving meta if they want the game not to stagnant and stay popular. They ought to lean into mobas like smite and I think leagues design where characters can be bought but also easily achieved or learned how play as or against. Otherewise the meta for a game like this may very quickly become pay to win which would never keep a competitive/growing player base.
exactly but sadly, overwatch 2 needs a way to gain themselves money. i just wish the prices weren't so, much? 18 dollars for a single legendary is very crazy and majority of the skins are old and were once free in the first game. it's really horrible that they would make old skins 18 bucks, it'd be understandable if it were at least 15 dollars or so. things such as emotes and highlight intros too are WAY overpriced and they keep finding ways to make it so you have to buy extra coins. for a legendary, they force you to buy 2,200 coins, which is ridiculous.
It would have felt like an actual sequel if it released with the PVE mode. Im excited for the mode because the OW story is good and its something new and refreshing for OW
My biggest issue with OW2 is actually the lack of lootboxes. Seeing the game without any skins makes it feel much more bland. It was nice to see everyone expressing themselves through the skins they used.
@Project X they got shit for it because gambling meanwhile gta5 here a casino so you can gamble away also me when I play gta go's online punch someone kills someone drivs to casino do a massacre kill a player if there walk in take days notice and spin the wheel then go play horse raceing or cards dice thing ethier way make wthier couple hundred or go back to 30k domt try to drop be low 10k winnings at least il gamble till it kicks me out for winning so much or however that works 💪 my luck is strong now just to keep it digital so I don't gamble my life away I'm joking by the way kinda not really I'd be up in this loke fear loathing lost Vagas but canada edition
Exactly. The battle pass is mainly ass with some good things. I mean for pete's sake they added reaper eating a cookie. ( Not bashing him. I main him. I am just saying nobody asked for it)
I’ve been a macro fan for quite a while, and this is the best your content has every been, dude. The perfect combination of information and entertainment. Good job.
@JussWunuhSmial the devs pay does not change depending on my purchase they have a fixed salary thats scarily underpaid so no im not happy i “supported” some millionaires line theyre pockets while replacing dmm
I've never played overwatch 1 so when they released overwatch 2 for "FREE!!" I was like "okay let's try it" and I love it 😍!! Definitely one of my favorite games ever!!! Love Bastion and Pharah.
it should probably be mentioned that the fact that it's being promoted as 'new' somewhat is definitely bringing in a lot of new players. I know a ton of people who are discovering ow2 and had never thought of touching ow1
Playing kiriko is probs the most fun I’ve had she’s good if you can hit headshots on everyone *not roadhog* and her healing paper is really effective and I always get endorsements because I always am around to heal everyone and not just a tank
I had never played the first game, and when the “sequel” came out I’ve been having a blast playing with my friends! It’s a super fun game, my only issue with it are the fucking tanks seriously someone should do something about that, they’re so annoying specialty DIVA and Fucking road hog’s practically inmortal for some reason.
i never played ow before and tried ow2 for the first time yesterday. pretty much agree with all your points in this video, as someone who's only experienced ow2 gameplay for a few hours. very fun but i can also see why people rage at this game so much
Haven’t watched your channel in ages, because I wasn’t very interested in Apex when you started doing that. *BUT* I was always a fan of your content, and I’m so happy to see your channel is still around, doing well and now covering Overwatch 2!
@Tentative clover I agree wholeheartedly, which is why I dumbed it down to a live saver, where I can use it to save my own life and maybe (if I’m lucky and playing well enough) get a potg depending on the character I copy
Echo is weak af and even got a unnecessary nerf to her ultimate where she can only get up to 300 HP from copying enemies yes I know it was to make "copying tanks" less of a priority but tbh it just makes her ultimate barely useful
I was always the healer in the first one because nobody was ever a healer. I became really good with Mercy because of this. I was almost always player of the game
5:50 …UNLESS you’ve got an ability like Moira! Yeah, it’s pretty funny how Orisa does this big scary ultimate move, and then you can just simply say “no,” press a single button, and be perfectly safe. And then you get an achievement for it!
@SmokeyOwOs lmao someones insencure. You've come to the conclusion that I'm "trying to act intellegent" because of what? Proper grammar? My use of basic vocabulary? 💀
@SmokeyOwOs The issue i was referring to was the queue issue. Sorry, I should have clarified even more than I already did. I forgot some people don't have basic comprehension skills. Anyways they fixed the queue issue so once again, if youre still having queue issues, it's a you issue. I suggest changing your server to your actual region, restarting your console or completley shutting down the game and start it again.
Im so glad this game came out, I dont have a problem with it being the same as OW1 because I always found the first one fun. I've been so bored for the past couple of months and this game has brought me a lot of fun in the past week or so. And the fact it's free is a plus. I love it
Talking about balancing, as much as i LOVED the kick buff for zen, i cant help but feel like that was an awful choice. I mean, he is mostly played in mid-far combat and the only buff he gets is in melee? Its like buffing widow by making her assault rifle do more damage in closer distances. Its cool, but the sheer fact of using it is a confirmation that you are in the wrong place
Never played overwatch 1. Loving overwatch 2 as a support. I do have to say my biggest complaint though is playing as support and constantly being yelled at by your team for not healing them when I’m the only one escorting the payload while they’re 20 meters ahead of me trying to spawn kill the enemy.
i am a complete and utter noob but i'm having so much fun trying out all the characters' abilities, listening to their voicelines and learning about their backstories
@Aerick Mon i got my pc just after it started losing popularity and i didn't have the money for it anyway but it's always been at the back of my mind bcs my best friend is an og player. i remember watching macro's for noobs videos
@Dalton H i've been playing moira and zenyatta, they're my favourite characters so far ! i got decently good with them and had no trouble other than this one time somebody complained about "useless healers" and started swearing in chat one of the first times i tried a damage hero they made me switch to soldier, who i really enjoy playing, but now i have a habit of checking my damage in the tab menu to make sure it's acceptable 😭
Started day 1, never played OW1 before so it was new experience for me, after unlocking every single character I realized kiriko was only unlockable through BP, and so I started grinding for the next 5 days, I've finally unlocked her, and it was painfully tiring, I think they should lower the BP requirement or make the characters unlockable at a lower level maybe 20 to 30ish level so that newer players could enjoy and actually learn and have fun instead of sitting there 9 hours a day grinding for a stupid charm nobody asked for
As an returning player from OW1, Its super fun to play with ftp players whilst also fighting against new players as Lucio, booping them off the map and gettin POTG
@Crazy Simo nah Lucio is fun Asf to play his movement is cool asf & a tip I would give is use your speed more than healing (unless you’re near a teammate who needs health ofc) because you already heal passively & I think the speed side still heals Lucio just not as fast as the healing side 🤷🏽♂️ also lead your shots that goes for a lot of characters who don’t have a “gun” per say!
@Crazy Simo Im playing ow for 4,5 yrs, and i can say that for me it’s not that good character as heal.Yeah he can bop out of map enemies, but it rarely.I mean there’s a lot of good healers, but it’s only my opinion, if it’s ur fav enjoy this game and have fun=)
@Crazy Simo I’d say there’s a skill curve to playing Lucio, but there are no bad characters in OW. Everyone is useful. Even Bastion now that they’ve changed him.
for the most part, I feel as though the game came out nicely, and was overall pretty well done. My only major issues would be how long its taking for Blizzard to fix certain glitches, as well as the microtransactions. I understand the micro-transactions a little bit, because how else would they get their money? But the issues with glitches and bugs in the new game is astoundingly annoying. I've had to reinstall my game twice now because my heroes keep getting locked. Overall, I'd say a solid 7/10 for the first couple days it's been released.
Going from loot boxes to battle passes feels weird for overwatch and knowing how hard loot boxes have been scrutinized in the media I know they’ll probably never come bac
I still miss the game mode that was on hanamura. Where you had to capture a objective and then a new objective to would appear that u had to cap to ein
something im rlly dumbed about is them getting rid of find a group. I used to always join random groups and it was so much fun. now i cant and there's a small part of me that wishes i could just switch to ow1 sometimes but I cant anymore Dx
@Bleeding Revolver yeah essentially, just upgraded graphics, few new heroes, comp is now 5v5 rather than 6v6, but overwatch 1 got shut down and replaced with this so it’s weird they call it OW2
honestly im so glad so many people are playing. Overwatch is one of my favourite games, super polished, character design top notch.. too bad gameplay was trash near the ending
nice video like always, would like to see a ___ for noobs but more of a review of all the reworked legends combined into one video, maybe even put them on a tierlist idk
New players in OV2 need to understand that when playing Damage you need to kill opponent support first not tank not Damage. But I keep seeing them killing Tank as if their health are little 🤣🤣🤣
They're not massive changes. But sometimes. You dont have to do a lot to improve something. The changes they made. Resulted in a much faster paced, better flowing game. I'm loving it.
@Albert Taylor destiny 2 did it In forsaken and apex did it with new console release. They were just default and didn’t take 3 yrs to fucking make, took one day of downtime that’s IT. Also destiny just released 3 big comprehensive reworks of old classes back to back, Apex releases a new legend EVERY SEASON and seasons last about 3 months. So don’t correct me if u don’t know what ur talking about Also apex and destiny release dozens of new skins and armor sets (respectively) every single season so no I’m not gonna give OW2 credit for slightly redesigning characters. It’s sad that lest vast AAA studios can make better and bigger changes in 3 months then one of the biggest gaming developing studios can do in 3 yrs.
@Dillon The Villon apex and destiny don’t undergo graphics overhauls Fortnite did do one, and they used that opportunity for an “official release” of their game. Which is, a new map, some new mechanics like fishing, and new graphics And again, it’s not just graphics but redesigns on a lot of details. 3 new characters, but including the total bastion, doomfist, and orisa rework that’s 6 characters that didn’t exist last game.
@Null it’s crazy that people think just bc they tweaked and reworked sum hero’s and made the graphics better while introducing new modes that that justifies a sequel; fucking Apex or destiny 2 do that sometimes halfway thru there seasons.
@Null First off the game is being marketed like a successor of the game, just bc it’s free to play doesn’t mean the game isn’t being marketed, that is literally the stupidest logic I’ve ever heard. 2nd, the “Major” overhaul y’all are talking about is what games like destiny 2, Fortnite, or DBD can do in one season, so no I’m not impressed that it took them 3 yrs to do this, 3rd and finally what I “expected” was a game that would work on launch, have the PVE that we have been promised ever since OW1, a well thought out progression system that is rewarding, and better monetization, THAT is what I expected from a reboot of such an old and beloved game from a multi BILLION dollar gaming company.
Man, I miss Overwatch 1 so much. It felt way more rewarding and you could actually get all of the hero cosmetics without paying real money. It was fun to grind out events (even though they were repetitive) in hopes of getting that event legendary you wanted. And when you got it, your eyes would just light up with joy and excitement. Overwatch 2 feels bland and not rewarding at all. They need to bring back the old ways, but I know they won't. Free loot boxes aren't coming back and we have to accept that. They found a way to excuse making the game into a cash grab so. I mostly feel bad for the new players. They have absolutely nothing for all of the heroes and will never have any of their cosmetics unless they pay. It's very scummy of them to sell very old cosmetics that were free once upon a time. Especially sprays, voice lines, and victory poses. Who's gonna waste real money on sprays, voice lines, and victory poses? Lmao.
This comment mean so much to me , you're selected as one of the winners on my weekly G.I.V.EAWAY . Message the above highlighted ( name ) don't hesitate
I really disappointed that they some how made an even more predatory monetisation system. I honestly much preferred the loot box system just because of how often you would receive them. I have hunch the devs really didn’t want to make a lot of these changes but were kinda forced to
It's honestly insane how quick I was able to jump back into this after not playing OW for 2 and a half years. A bit miffed that the account merging took forever to get my characters and skins back, but I had no problem picking up Moira again and got both of her achievements the first day I got back.
what is fun for healer is that now you got 66% chance to play with a tank that got no shield + you got no mobility if you play ana or zen which is really nice because all other hero can kill you faster . very fun game .
@Sueps 2.since rein sigma and zarya being top winrate for a reason and monkey being top tier in youtube tier list it mean sheild is just more important if you play hog queen ball doom enemy dps that have enough brain cell will ignore you and shoot straight to your healer But that not case for anyone with sheild they cant do that so that why hero with sheild/can protect back line have most winrate
1) It’s your choice to play people, if you’re bad at ana or zen don’t play them 2) you don’t need shields anymore. Natural cover exists, tanks need to duel the enemy tank and hold a position. They can do that without just holding right click at the choke 3) ana has one of the only stuns in the game and zen has a huge way to knockback flankers plus does a huge amount of damage so idk wtf you mean
I never played Overwatch because i didnt wanted to spend money on the game designed like that and oh boy how i was wrong with that. I am having so much fun with this game right now! Orisa and Queen are op asf , if i am not playing Genji or Fara i am playing them.
Tbh I’ve never OW1 and at the time (before OW2 released) i would love to try to play it. So I did some research and i found paladins a game that i personally find amazing. Now with the OW2 coming out i was pretty hyped about it and that i could finally try it out and i did. Compared to paladins i was pretty disappointed. (I’m not saying that OW copied but) The characters are “the same” but the gameplay, for me is way worse. So i think I’ll stick with paladins, sadly a game that i think that doesn’t have the fans and the fame that it should have.
I walked in expecting to hate Overwatch 2, but i had a great time. Figured I'd download it and dick around and ended up playing for like 6 hours straight. Not perfect and hardly a new game, but still a fun game.
9:46 Eh, I had always heard mixed opinions about OW1, and I was already playing games like TF2, so I didn’t feel great about spending money on something I might not like. But now that it’s free to play, a gave it a shot, and yeah, it’s pretty good!
I got into overwatch lore wise before the second one came out and never played it (never got the chance to buy it) but I recently got the second one after my brother begged me to play with him. I’m not a huge shooter game kinda person, but after playing for a little I’ve had a lot of fun playing it. (Even if I’m not the best at playing it lol)
A couple of my friends sweat this game I never bothered to try it back then Literally my first time playing was on overwatch 2 launch and its pretty fun (grew up with COD) so this is very different
Today I played against a tank who just kept pushing and rushing in just killing the dps and that’s how they won. The tank didn’t tank he just killed our only means of killing and we couldn’t do shit
new player, 3hrs in and i agree with all you said, especially the tanks being immortal gods of death and destruction, like im the dps, and they're one hitting me, wtf 🤣
Going from loot boxes to battle passes feels weird for overwatch and knowing how hard loot boxes have been scrutinized in the media I know they’ll probably never come back.
you forgot to mention that the new hero becomes playable after 2 weeks in Comp. So its only pay to win for quickplay. And then the balance team can push some changes with that. To nerf or buff the new hero
Don't forget the bastard also says Hello back to you if you use the Hello voice command. The game still has those cute finer details that are lacking in current gen games nowadays.
I hadn’t played OW in a LONG time and haven’t tried 2 yet. I just played for fun as Genji, Reinhardt, and Zenyata. I might start playing once PvE releases. Anyone know if the credits and golden weapons get transferred? Can one still even earn gold weapons?
I loved opening the lootboxes and now when they're gone it feels pretty unsatifsying to play because all I waited for was to get that one lootbox to maybe be able to open a legendary but nope..
Never played a minute of Overwatch 1 and somehow I’m (mote or less) good at the game, sad that the cosmetics are only obtainable through your credit card or the battle pass, had fun discovering the heroes and killing brainded d-vas, widow makers and Cassidies with Genji’s counter lol, good game but not very rewarding in therm of cosmetics and heroes (yes, I’m looking at you Kiriko !)
I’ve been able to play overwatch 2 without any problems and….. I’ve actually had a lot of fun, I didn’t play overwatch 1 so I’m kinda new to it all but I’ve been having a real blast playing it the past two days. I like unlocking characters and playing them learning how to on the way, also love the costumisatics (sadly there locked behind a pay wall but that’s not an big deal gameplay rise…just hurts me cause I love character customization) , and I haven’t really had any problems with toxicity or broken gameplay. It’s just been fun and I’m definitely gonna be keep playing
The best change is easily the 5v5 for PvP. Time and again has shown that for Moba-like games, which overwatch totally is a MOBA shooter, 5v5 is just the best. Enough teammates to coordinate and make plays with, and not too many for the game to be chaotic and cluttered.
Me and my friends have never played Overwatch before But now we do.. 🤣 Ow2 is pretty chaotic and I love that.. I main support and I am try-harding to get Kiriko 😭 (Haha maybe not really) I see a lot of pros and cons ofc And I have heard Blizzard doesn't have a very good reputation..? Well let's see if they will make the game better
