I remember fondly playing overwatch 1 with my friends and sinking in hundreds of hours. If they wanted to break into the steam market they should have done it with the first one. Not with their lackluster, phoned in sequel. This was just stupid of them.

Let's be real, Overwatch 2 was an update patch that they tried to sell as a sequel.

An update patch that introduced the most amazing feature: monetization!

[–] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 1 year ago

An update implies they changed something to the game. This was just an update to the monetization. A blatant pure cash grab sold as a sequel game. Its a travesty, and if they had any decency they'd scrap it, apologize, and release "Overwatch 2 A Realm Reborn" that is an actual legitimate sequel to the original game.

Lol when I first updated it the game didn't replace my desktop icon so it was still saying overwatch 1 so yes just stupid patch that ruined a perfectly good game haven't returned since

I loved Assassin's Creed 2, so I didn't bat an eye buying Brotherhood and Revelations as they had the same basic background. They were full price games and I played for about 15 to 20 hours on each. That's not much for full price. They were basically just new story lines for the main game.

You can still play Assassin's Creed 2

[–] VanillaGorilla@kbin.social -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure, and I did. Multiple times. It's just that the tower spin offs are too expensive. AC2 was about double the gaming for the same price.
