I’ve had more fun in the last 2 weeks I’ve been playing Rivals than the entirety I’ve played Overwatch 2. The game just wants to seem more focused on being fun rather than competitive.
Focusing on comp is where ow1 slid downhill till landing in the dumpster fire of 2
I agree with the “focused on fun” comment. feels more like ow1 where it was balanced by everything being broken.
100%. I’ve played OW since the OW1 launch date. Stopped playing the day Rivals was released.
Are you a Marvel fan in general? As someone who couldn’t care less about Marvel heroes, I played Rivals for a bit, and while it was entertaining, I would rather just go play Overwatch.
I’m with you on this. Marvel Rivals feels off/ cheap in a way I don’t really know how to articulate.
Some of the animations are definitely janky (looking at you, Punisher jumping off your lil zip line), the visual clarity is worse than OW (although maybe that’s just a symptom of how much I’ve played OW vs. MR), and it just has a bit less polish than OW.
That being said, there’s something about MR that feels nostalgic, like early OW1, and I’ve been having a blast with it. Shorter match and queue times are certainly a big factor too.
Am also curious how things go for Valve’s game.
Ultimately, I don’t think Overwatch 2 will disappear from the public eye even if MR comes to utterly dominate the hero shooter market, for one singular, succinct reason: a LOT of people are INCREDIBLY interested in Overwatch Porn, and that’s not going to stop anytime soon.
You are allowed to watch the Overwatch porn without playing the game
Who’s gonna tell him?
What’s to tell me? That bad games that fall out of prominence tend to be remembered for reasons outside their gameplay or world building? That everyone already knows OW2 will be remembered more for its R34 than its actual gameplay? Or that Blizzard dropped the ball so hilariously terribly that people would literally rather play any other game despite the millions of dollars spent on lore, animations, publicity, and skins design?
