Overwatch 2: The Laziest Sequel 

😂😂😂

Sheesh

I love you

Pics for proof?

Same lol

True innovation Can’t wait for a 1 mb patch to be marketed as a sequel

But they removed a tank and changed the time of day on maps!

"planned expansions to games becoming sequels" - Saints Row IV, for example.

I've seen worse, downgrades to a game being called sequels (Destiny 2). At least they turned that game around, but anyone who remembers pre-Forsaken D2 will tell you it was literally just D1 but worse and with less in every area.

Have you heared of MW2 2022?

I was just thinking that 😂

Act Man was ahead of his time

Truly. Amazing but also very sad man jeesh 🤦😂

What happened? I've never played either game, I just love watching Acty tear game publishers ass holes open

aged like milk on a hot summer day

LOGIC!

Honestly though the cards at the end of the game were kind of trash anyway. They weren’t really any measure of how well someone did, it was more like this Ana got the most healing, or that soldier got the most damage.

@@huntermushero9362 someone didn’t get cards at the end of the game

First comp game in someone was mad I didn’t have high dmg..

Not anymore

And with that, they may as well be called "Shitstorm."

That is IF it was actually being made

I imagine that they announce the PvE mode for so long that the pre orders would be huge, then they remove it, keeping the money and refusing refunds

"maybe get more heroes in your workspace first" DAMN

@@ADUSN HR and the spokesmen all represent Kotick, and his PR was already trash as far back as the OG MW2.

@@TheActMan i think you just found your next tweet

Dude, shut up and buy a battlepass

Because the character designers and every single person who worked on OW1/OW2 does that. Come on

*to by all the old Overwatch 1 cosmetics it's over $12,000 for a new f2p player. Which is insane that assumes you buy the $100 discounted currency bundles too.

No way in hell I'm spending 38 weeks grinding for 1 old legendary skin. I'm glad I got a ton of legendaries that I love and carried all my stuff over. I should've known there would be a catch. "Oh you can port everything over... but you can only get 60 coins per week and legendaries you don't have will now be 1900 coins instead of 1000 😈"

You play not to win but for skins??

@@GoznerPeter That's what I'm saying.

@@GoznerPeter well, out side of bragging rights, skins are one of the few tangible goals to reach through playing the game, at least in OW1. That is what kept a bunch of people playing after OW1 stopped getting big updates. It sparked interest into people during dry spells of the game or when nothing really happens that you're interested in. Take that away or make it painful to do, and you lose the interest of a lot of people.

That's what I was thinking! Id prefer a daily reward over *Five years*

same you dident need to pay for 3 loot boxes just play 9 matches for 3loot boxes

So true

And Halo did the exact same thing lmao

This comment illustrates exactly how things keep getting worse. When Blizzard starts harvesting children's organs we'll all say "I miss the days when all they did was sell cyanide".

Xbox still calls it Overwatch Origins Edition

While you download the game on PlayStation it still calls it Overwatch Origins Edition

My discord already only recognizes it as Overwatch lol

My discord recognizes it as Overwatch 2 now on PC. It took 7 days after launch before it changed on Discord

Even the desktop shortcut says Overwatch 1 💀

Well everyone not dead...

Part II is more than necessary now.

Your wish has been granted, he did post a part II 😂😂

@@jameslsheltondid he really??! I need it

I.e. update to the one thing actually important to publishers. Never thought I'll get to actually despise gaming.

A update that took three years.

Be honest. With the fact that overwatch was dying and quite literally falling from grace. Will it be more appealing to bring back players if they said Overwatch 1.158.6? Or overwatch 2 is more attracting?

@@rmhminiman they wouldn't have had to rely on such tricks, and OW1 wouldn't be dying, if they didn't pretty much leave it completely dead and without updates for years. All to release this "sequel" that's just an update in the end.

The companies also just abuse the developers like hell! Like goddamn, let them make their fucking game!

The worst is GTA5 online. God help you if you're a new player in 2023. This old ass milked to death game is about as rewarding as a minimum wage at McDonald's, and the open world is so toxic and filled with oppressors that you literally have to play it in a private lobby with reduced pay on missions. The missions aren't treated as part of the game, they just interrupt the actual fun you have messing around to go drive 30 minutes to the middle of nowhere so that you can get like 5000 dollars to work towards buying a doge charger that costs 2 million dollars 😂

Only game i gladly treat as secound job is warframe that is becouse its rewarding comumity is fun, and its not P2W

Warcraft III ‘Reforged’ did as well, also a Blizzard game.

I think I've seen it before, at least as far as maps go. There is maybe a bit more to it. Like for example if you have too huge a map pool, the chance of some appearing will become statistically low. I don't actually know how this works in Overwatch (mostly random?), but some shooters also let players vote for next map. If players have some favorite maps and some they like less, then naturally the favorite ones will get voted repeatedly while the others are collecting dust in the map pool. You as a dev might then wonder why you should retain some older ones in the first place and unreasonably bloat up the map pool or the game itself when you at the same time also have to at least create some new maps to both give reason to releasing a sequel and accomodating a different team setup (5 vs. 5) and modes. That being said it could be worse, like a game removing content without releasing a sequel, see Destiny 2 and them having "vaulted" large chunks of content, some of which people had paid for.

Have you never played cod? They remove features all the fuckin time.

Basically every Halo game since Reach lol but yeah this shit is getting out of hand

Destiny 2

The thing is, achievements display shows your achievements, i.e. things that you have worked on and proven worthy of. They don't want you to be good and worthy, they want you to see other players' skins and envy them so that you'd be inclined to spend money on those skins (looking at you specifically here, MW2-2). These days you're supposed to brag with how much you spent, not how good you are.

RIP Daddy Jeff. He saw the writing on the wall.

This is a lesson many people need to learn the hard way when everything comes crashing down.

Many, if not all, organizations are like this. Western gaming really feels the squeeze as the auteurs have all been ousted by their publishers, and new "talent" gets pushed in for quotas. The games themselves are just quotas now.

Oh that's such an exaggeration. I had no problem getting access and my phone is mid range at best. So no, I didn't pay anywhere near $1000.

is that an american thing? i don't know anyone who pays that much Oo

@Vaniq We're talking about anything that isn't prepaid tho, didn't Act Man say something about not being able to use prepaid numbers? Also Sprint doesn't exist anymore. We used to be Sprint customers and got automatically transitioned to a T-Mobile plan that was slightly more expensive Also #2, Sprint doesn't sell unlocked phones afaik(?) I just took the Sprint one cause it's better than Samsung's direct price. And it's a moot point anyway because most ""unlocked"" phones these days (including all Samsungs with a snapdragon chip) are actually bootloader locked.

That… is scary that that’s the exact thing me and my crew talked about last time we played it. What kind of timeline are we living in

I saw it with Rocket League and the community went steadily downhill from there, imo. When they went from loot boxes to free to play, battle pass, and an item shop the community slowly warped into a cesspool by attrition. Its so funny to think back to the game a few years ago and the toxicity people complained about then, its 10 times worse now, the kind of people who become slaves to endless unlocks, battle pass progression systems, and item shops are not the most upstanding amongst gamers, ime.

The irony of this is that when you play(ed) games for free "the old fashioned way" (yarrrgh) the worst thing that could happen was a hard drive reformat to get rid of the dodgy crap that scuttled over.

Genuinely. I did not think of this when I was younger and just liked games being free. Now seeing this is like “damn all this content from the past game that was free behind the game itself having a price tag is now locked behind a price tag perhaps 5 times higher and more so in the future for just the game being free”

@@Vrailik Then again... WHY REMOVING MEDALS??

@@betorockmetal a scoreboard keeps everyone on the team on the same page and it allows players to have a more accurate idea of the state of the match.

@@Crit7k that answers the question of "Why add a scoreboard?". The question that was asked, though, was "Why remove medals if you aren't going to obfuscate the stats?". The reality is that they probably removed the medals, then realised during play testing that people don't enjoy having literally zero feedback or recognition for playing well, so added in the scoreboard to fix the problem they introduced. It is nonsensical to replace medals with a scoreboard for the purpose of lowering toxicity. The people who piss and whine now have permanent access to their team mates' stats which they can use as a weapon. At least with medals it only showed who did well, rather than who was doing badly. This stinks of some team lead demanding that medals are removed, and the devs below them introducing a work around that makes the problem worse because they have no choice.

*When was that? I never experienced such precious times*

The good old days. Sad that people will perpetuate this model of unfinished shit by buying into this turd.

Hi

Nice

Good earning, and good job good luck.

Good Work

Amazing

I mean, this is literally just an update. They ported over 90% of the code at least. I'm loving OW2 so far in all honesty, but it's so clearly Overwatch 1 that the app that installs on your PC is called Overwatch. And not Overwatch 2 if you search for it.

Actually, it was removed last minute or something because the voicelines for it are brand new for the old heroes aswell as the old ones. So they not only went through the effort to get new voicelines, but also implement them and still left out the visual.

A video game is not just one big line of code. Most programmed applications take advantage of classes, and assuming that the visual function is removed, the class responsible for visually displaying the mechanic was disabled. Also I would bet that they removed the function because the mechanic did not accurate feedback, and leads players into the wrong direction in terms of skill.

They just don't want you flexing in any way possible. Can't have visual stimulus that makes you appear better than other players. Don't worry about whos good or not, just go check out the battle pass.

At this point i wouldnt be surprised if they just removed the lil sprite animation used for the on fire so it still plays but is invisible as asset isnt there.

Damn I know right. Now we actually got to support the game's development to flex skins on people.

@@Vrailik Damn right... Like if you didn't already paid 60$ for the game, why not to pay other 200$ in skins, the millionaire company really needs all that money for sure.

@@Vrailik when you buy a skin there is zero flex. Already seeing people get trolled and laughed at for spending $20 on a skin.

@@pixavier9746 We got 6 years worth of content for our $60 bucks. I think it's fair for the devs to be able to keep their jobs by producing a functioning profitable game. I bet you bought 0 loot boxes in those 6 years.

@@jam1494yes

It’s mainly since like you said they weren’t too hard to grind and were cosmetic only. Unlike say the supply drops in COD games from AW through BO4. I’d always take paid only cosmetics over supply drops with weapons in them that change stats and make the game pay to win. But in this case, not only was it not that situation (so now there is no way at all to reasonably earn cosmetics instead of a flawed way, something is better than nothing, but it also is incredibly disrespectful to the people who bought the first game since you can’t just go back to it. Doubly so since you don’t earn credits back from the battle pass, forcing you to pay up every season.

Agreed. It was nice to know that whenever a new skin I really liked was released I could just grind the game a bit to either get a lucky pull or build up enough currency. Makes you fond of the times that games rewarded you for playing the game instead of just begging for your card info

@@spunch1205 Still doesn’t beat the relatively really old times when skins were for things like achievement rewards and skill based tasks rather than monetized… I miss those days when you paid $60 for the game and got the whole game, no questions asked, and it worked immediately from day one. Back in the Wii era (I was and still am a Nintendo person). I’m not positive if the 360 and PS3 era were mostly or totally like that, but it was probably better than now. It makes me really happy that games like Elden Ring, which is one of the very few non indie games to return to that style, sold so well. It gives me hope that we may someday return to that style of game. Sure some games be $70 due to inflation, but that’s totally reasonable imo for a complete well made game, especially with how much money goes into graphics now (Separate argument, but I think we’d have much better games if we took that money going towards graphics, made games look more cartoony (or lower poly) or pixelated and spent that time making amazing levels and mechanics rather than filling games with meaningless bloat and or grind. After all, just look at the incredible indie market nowadays)

@Calvin Robertson True. The difference here is that the loot boxes were free, the battle pass is not (or all the $20 separate skins jeez) That’s the problem. Plus they had dupe protection (for much of the game life anyway) and we’re cosmetic only. Something is better than nothing for free progression. ESPECIALLY for those who bought the first game and had it stripped from them. If we could play OW1 I’d have much less of an issue, since it’s still scummy, but at least you could earn stuff more for the first game and stay with it if you wanted, but you can’t)

lootboxes werent any kind of deal in ow1

Reason 583 to not trust blizzard ever again. I wonder how long this list is gonna be by the end of the decade I mean I only started this in 2021.

those are gone because everyone gets participation awards, in current political correctness equallity means equility of outcome, so there cant be best.

they even said them self that there isn't a scoreboard in Overwatch (1) because it incentivises toxicity to specific team members (which it does!) so in no way i can imagine how/why they suddenly think it's a good idea to add a scoreboard. and yes you're talking basically from my heart with the endcards. it was always so cool to see someones performance valued that isn't just "x Kills" or "x Damage" but also "killed x people with his/her ult, used the ult y times" or for zarya "x% average energy". these cards didn't just genericly list some basic statistics but actually how good you where with that hero. sure there where also cards just about how many kills but these ususally came up when the kill count was actually parting from the other players kill-stats.

They are based in California. Gotta get rid of ANYTHING that might offend all the crazy leftist lunatics, they have pretty much taken over Cali at this point. Hence why it has turned into a woke shithole.

@@Buttersaemmel I’m still absolutely baffled they did all this to reduced toxicity, yet added in a score board 🗿 nice blizz

I mean, you get the scoreboard now so everyone kind of knows. But I do miss getting the likes to 5 or 10 and hearing the voicelines.

So here's the thing: No company will beef up their servers for a launch or expansion because they know a good chunk of people are sight seers who will go away in a week. Everyone learned from Wildstar that doing so is a recipe for going broke and being stuck with a bunch of servers you only needed for a month but are now stuck with and forced to deal with somehow.

If we are getting new map every 2nd season also it would be close to 25 maps soon, which is actually a lot, if you just want to play more King's Row. I think sweet spot is much more closer to 4 or 5 maps per game mode for each season (if we have 4 or someday 5 different game modes?) which makes it 20 maps in "map pool" instead of somewhat 30+ in few years. It's only affecting Unranked and Competitive Play with Map Pool and new Hero needing to be unlocked though. Doesn't stop anyone playing the map in custom game mode. Does it make game fresh with changing maps with season (day/night versions also) well to be fair I wouldn't even notice. Although how many different maps do you see in OTHER games? I wouldn't call it content by having different map pools per season, but have to admit eventually you would have to limit map pool for ranked at least (so why not for quick play too?). I could play King's Row all day, but then again how often am I even getting it, if there's 20 or 30 maps in pool? Not so often, or at least I shouldn't be getting it that often.

@sk1nz28 yes

They did that way back with Diablo 3…

Oh don’t worry man, it’s still there. There’s just a funny 2 after it now.

Was.

The gameplay at large is very similar since it is the same game with some reworks, basically a major balance patch. I don't quite see how they "removed ow1".

@@all4me501 I can name on several people's hands the content that was moved behind another paywall since the transfer. I would have no qualms about the OW2 stuff being battlepass and the OW1 stuff staying earnable.

@@all4me501 I would still play Overwatch 1 for fun if it was still up. I would never have touched Overwatch 2 if I had that option. That’s a pretty substantial difference even if you want to make the argument “but it’s free to play!” With the route they took, there isn’t that choice, and now players are limited to this supremely subpar battle pass system, 5 v 5, paywalled cosmetics that could be reasonably earned prior, pay or play walled characters that were previously available to everyone immediately, etc.

That sucks. He was one of my favorite dps characters. :(

Wait so dunkey wasnt even meme'ing, bastion was actually to bugged to be in the game on launch? Jesus fucking christ.

They barely removed him just about three days ago so they can rework on him hopefully they’ll bring him back soon or at least the next battle pass.

Cold war was only 2 years ago.

@sasha sarcasm my guy

@@shasha6337 woooosh

Free bonus? That's gonna take like 200 or 300 hours to reach

Anyone can play her 😂

reminder that level 55 is nearly 70% of the season pass.

Why you don't hate Acti-Blizz already? You live under a rock or something?

@@Bodwaizer Oh I always did. I'm just pointing out another problem that Blizzard didn't bother to think about before executing it.

Well that was a *F**#CKING* lie

and you forgot the "FUCK!" at the end.

What asmon video is that clip from? I can not find it

@@jaredc4830 search “Asmongold explodes Overwatch 2” and it should be the first hit. The clip is like, 33 seconds long.

@@bob513993 aye thank you so much.

I really didn't like the medals because they had no real meaning and everyone was still so fixated on them (I'm not sure if the scoreboard is better though). Getting votes on your cards was nice though, it made having payload duty feel worth it. Removing endorsements from enemys feels weird too. On the other hand, i do like having faster queues after games (not having to leave the game after the potg to save myself 40s of waiting).

@@all4me501 I once had 10 minutes on the payload as Winston, I pictured myself hugging the cart tight while bullets whizzed past my head

@@glassofwater281 It's a tough job, sometimes a boring job, often a dirty job, but Someone Has to Do It! We shall never forget your sacrifice!

@@nnirr1 overwatch 2 is practicly a better version of overwatch 1.

​@@LeonardoStupidKenway and team fortress 2 is a better version of overwatch

@@gavinj-lol i prefer overwatch 2 over TF2. But hey, thats just an opinion. A GAY opinion.

@@LeonardoStupidKenway thats fine with me. as long as you dont insult the game.
