I'm not fan of this game, but this is an obvious review bomb and IMO makes people look silly
I’ve played around 1000h of OW2 alone and I’ve since given up on the game and would give it an honestly negative review.
It’s a shadow of its former self, unbalanced, full of toxic players, and full of predatory MTX and pay to win unless you grind obscene amounts (it was not having a battle pass that made me quit, having run out of the coins I’d earned and been given for stupidly preordering OW2 - the time sink to get a single skin is ridiculous).
1/3 games you have to deal with other players being racist, homophonic, antisemitic, and just generally abusive. This was so much less of an issue in OW1 I can only assume the influx of free players paired with brain drain at Blizzard has caused this and there’s no sign of improvement.
Ok but is this a freah review after playing it on Steam? So you do this with all games? Carrying your grudge from platform to platform to make sure it's thoroughly shit on?
It's the same game with the same microtransactions and the same community and the same devs. It's totally valid to leave your negative review on Steam. Nothing he said is fixed by launching the game through steam, lol.
Might as well take your game grudges to the grave
I really don't think you're grasping what's happening here. This is not a new game. No development went into making it available on steam. When you open it in steam, it opens the battle.net launcher. It is literally the same game.
Imagine there's a food truck around your neighborhood that has given people food poisoning and is known for having poor quality. Now imagine they move the truck to an adjacent neighborhood. Does that change anything about it? Are people's complaints about the truck suddenly invalid? Should they just get over it and stop holding a grudge?
Poison.. yeah totally valid comparison. Not exaggerated at all.
Ok, change food poisoning to just bad tasting. What about my analogy changes?
You either have realized you're wrong and are grasping at straws to pretend otherwise, or you're just an idiot. So which is it?
Lots has changed, now it's just petty. Why are you spending your time going to every platform because of one bad taste? It's not like people were being poisoned after all.
Name one thing that's changed by it coming on to steam. Other than it's availability on steam. Please, go on.
The analogy changed, they're it's a big difference between rallying because people are being poisoned and rallying because you don't like a flavor.
Dude it's literally the exact same game, with a different launcher.
Any complaints from within the past few months are still entirely valid. This isn't a review bomb in a sense of a brand new game comes out and people shit all over it because the dev said or did something stupid. This is people finally giving feedback they've wanted to give for awhile, but couldn't give in official channels until now.
