Blizzard is trying to put out the fire around Overwatch 2
The successor toOverwatch launched ten days ago and, on the community side, we don’t really know what to think of it, except for very little good. Opinions differ on the web since the launch, but many agree that the license was much better before. It must be said that, from the start, the difficulties in accessing the game, the endless queues and the coating of this sequel which clearly lacks content easily set fire to the powder. To the extent that players did not hesitate to drop the overall average of the title on the very famous site Metacritic, while punctuating their note with a particularly salty comment.
Finally, in terms of reputation, all does not seem lost for the title of Blizzard Entertainment which, strangely, a hit on any other kind of website. To catch up with all kinds of bugs that plague the launch ofOverwatch 2the developers have taken the necessary measures — some of them are downright drastic! —, try to help players by offering them a solution and even promise compensation to better pass the pill.
PlayStation and Xbox console players feel aggrieved!
The concern is that another problem is never far away and that a new discontent from the players can land without warning. Not missed, once again, since console players, whether on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S et Xbox Onehave made a nerve-wracking discovery. The reason ? The absence of a feature during cross-play games that puts them at a disadvantage against players PC ! The most reassuring thing about this new controversy is that it will not call into question the competitive aspect ofOverwatch 2 since the title does not integrate cross-play into ranked.
Concretely, it has now been a few days since testimonials have been pouring in in the comments from a post on the Overwatch subreddit. Obviously, it is difficult to compete against the unbeatable duo of the keyboard / mouse, and even more so when the players realize that they do not have access to the very practical aiming assistance from their console.. On the side of PC players, we do not let it go and we criticize this feature which can benefit console players. Despite everything, they also refuse to benefit from this aid: it will not ease the tensions between PC players and those on consoles.
