The Tragedy of Overwatch

Blizzard Entertainment made a name for itself by taking big swings, developing video games whose day one offerings paled in comparison to what the experiences evolved into five to 10 years down the road. World of Warcraft set a particularly high bar, so much so that the studio spent years and an untold number of resources attempting to replicate such success on multiple occasions. One such World of Warcraft-like adventure, codenamed Project Titan, remained in production for seven years before company leads finally pulled the plug. A small crew within Blizzard wouldn’t let their extensive time and effort be for naught, however. From the remnants...

Abandoned by Blizzard - The Tragedy of Heroes of the Storm
Look the game isn’t perfect it will forever be imbalanced with different characters but the game is like no other I love playing lifeweaver pulling and saving my teammates like in other game is that possible or crazy Cassidy high noon kills I do when I pull him up again in what game is that possible? The gameplay is like no other even though it’s repetitive but so is life and any other game so I’ll always be loyal to overwatch really don’t care of the flaws it has because it’s impossible to balance a character specialist game. PvE was scrapped because it was suppose to be a pvp game not pve, if I wanted to play a pve game I’d play Skyrim fallout but overwatch is pvp stop trying to forcing a cake to be a pie
Here's what killed the Saints Row remake above all else: Spite.
Never understood this game..absolute mess on the screen which makes it impossible to watch as an esport. I think blizzard never recovered on missing out on dota, they tried hots and overwatch to create their own esport title..
I just want to play Overwatch one.
OW was a fun PVP mode masquerading as a full fledged game. The games success was built on promises. Eventually, they decided to double down and promised more promises. That wasn't a very tempting proposition. Not to mention, by then blizzard had lost the trust of many with their lack of innovation & anti-free speech / anti-hong Kong actions.
for me the main seling point for Overwatch was the synergy between players and over the years they managed to smoehow loose that and especially OW2 feels more like regular fps game like COD. Another thing thye did was that when the game first released they had such varied charachters and from all part of the world like I am from India and Symmetra was like the first game that portrayed a southasian as someone powerful.
I still love the game
like what spy said "HE RAN FAST, and died a VIRGIN"
Lootboxes were never a big problem lmao focus on their real mistakes
So tired of this autistic AI narration
I wish battleborn would have beat out overwatch man I miss that game
The game is still a pretty good game, what’s destroying it is the toxic community, bad players, bad losers, hackers
Nice game, except for the fcking 'strong woman' feminist who you trained but for some reason who keeps ordering you around.
The biggest crime is that Overwatch 1 somehow won GOTY 2016, and now the servers are turned off so its literally impossible to play the GOTY from only 8 years ago.
Omega strain was my childhood. I wouldn't even torrent a remake, I'd actually pay for it 😂
I'm sorry, but this AI VO is just not doing it.... Thinking more about that than your great doc.
Overwatch lured a lot of pro or burned out players from Team Fortress. To name the few Jerma, Star_ (now Ster), Muselk, Mr Paladin and others. Speaking of which, a lot of first competitive players during the first year was TF2 players. While some have returned to TF2, others bounced off Overwatch in a year or two. Overwatch official press might talking about "differentiate from TF2", but it for sure didn't feel like it. They copied competitive format of TF2 "Sixes", characters having some abilities to compensate the lack of rocketjumping and grenadejumping, engineer was butchered into 2 heroes and only with years of updates they stopped with TF2. Speaking of TF2, Overwatch made Valve to do a lot of strange and unwanted (in the way it was implemented) changes to TF2.
This is without a doubt one of my favorite RUclips channels. The dedication, passion, & hard work in the pursuit of video game investigative documentaries is unlike anything else out there on the Internet. I have followed your content for so long because I find it extremely fascinating. I am in my 40s I love video games. Their origins, the challenges, their history, the ability to incorporate all forms of art onto themselves. I have also dreamed of one day at the very least have the ability to create similar content to what you make. In depth documentaries of the relevant video games that left a mark in our collective consciousness. I wish it were within my means to significantly support you to keep going indefinitely. I enjoy your content that much. I'm always looking forward to your videos. From the bottom of my heart and with the upmost sincerity I thank you for everything you make and the marvelous high quality work you put out into a world saturated with subpart quality. I go back and rewatch some of my favorite videos on your channel from time to time it is that good. I hope this is not the begining of the end for your channel. I hope you will find the support necessary to continue creating the amazing content only you can make. Be well friends, "keep your chin up" as the saying goes in the U.S. 😊
Overwatch 2 is way better than the original ever was and the game is in a good state right now. I never cared about PvE so its cancellation never mattered much to me.
lol lmao
I still stand by it. They should have released an animated Overwatch show in the likes of how they did the doomfist cinematic. Shame OW fell the way it did.
Another major corporation destroys a successful ip.
Crazy how you can ruin something even as great as Overwatch with toxic monetization.
OW loot boxes were an amazing strategy and should be brought back to many games. Period.
You zoomers are hilarious, you try to blame "come in to work" on why some game failed? Trust me: any employee that resigns rather than come into the office to work, you do not want working on the game anyway.
overwatch cured me from league of legends for two years then..idk what happened but i just stopped having fun :(
and i Remember at the very end i Felt like the devs were making fun of us. like 15 mins to join a 2 min games at times....likeeee
Budget constraints, hardware limitations, and time restrictions were why they couldn't deliver. Every developer is limited by these things. That's a poor excuse for botching so many things about this game.
Bring dps doom back
Game went from "oh nice, representation!" to "what in the California is this? 😥"
Ive been feeling this for so long now, im finally done with the game for good. They dont care about their old playerbase, their new players can waste their money on ugly, lazy, boring skins
They just needed to keep updating and patching the first game like an MMO and they still screwed up, it’s hilarious.
Dead game with currently the highest playcounts and new players the game has ever seen since 2017?
Why are most Overwatch League players asian? The team composition doesnt look organic.
If there is no report on fake stream numbers for overwatch league I will be disappointed. And no I never played it. And still laughing at my friends that said it's amazing and will be the nr1 shooter. And seeing people in esport bend over and still can't admit it was shit in public 😂 ah the sellouts were so real
I saw this vicious OW2 RUclipsr (QQBC) who was beyond toxic in their videos. Their voice sounded like an underage child being swatted at by actual grown adults. This is a good example, on how Blizzard poorly manages their privacy services especially when people under 18 are involved. For example, their so called "game browser" became "No Man's Land" with toxicity still lingering and sexual tensions within lobbies. (See for yourself and believe me that it's wrong for minors to join those lobbies.)
Now, I understand why the OW2 community is aggressively toxic.
I really hope that naive players of OW2 with their toxicity ambitions understand that what their playing isn't normal.
Y'all supported blizzard when you should of supported gearbox with Battleborn but nope, everyone loves supporting possibly one of the worst companies to work for as a woman, Blizzard. Bravo idiots, bravo 👏
THIS IS THE BEST CHANNEL EVER
if the pve succeded there would be between 20 to 40 talents per character, i was the foundation of a completly new game. so what your saying is it would justify the 2 in Overwatch 2 ?
Do people really didn't like ow1 loot box system? You got couple as bonus weekly and every level up gave you loot box. I had around 600 unopened ones when ow2 released and i didnt no life the game or anything , i just played. It was probably most generous loot box system i ever seen
They need to disconnect from OW2 branding. It has 99 bad things and 1 good thing over its 2 years its been out. Going back to just OW. Balancing to 6v6 would be easier than balancing to 5v5 because they have the data for the 6v6, and over 4 years of development and live service, they still haven't properly balanced 5v5 in a fun way.
It was nuBlizzard. It was always destined to fail. They lost their magic and mojo (jojo) a looong time ago.
I feel like ive seen this video 1,000 times already.
All blaming top level people at blizzard but noone mentions how ow dev tram is a cesspool of incompetence and beiing complitely out of touch. Execs arr totten there but "devs" share a lot of the balme to.
All this people in the comments must've dropped hella rank 😅
it insane that the "50 minutes for 1 lootbox" is now considered generous to the current "all your time for nothing" system.... I want OW1 back
After how they scammed me with ow1 i don't think i will buy anything from blizzard again.
This is what you get with greedy execs and incompetent out of touch devs. Ow is now a game where feelings matters more than gameplay.
Look I really love just cause but in just cause 4 I wish you could actually change the grappling hook to the one in number 3 and 2 would be perfection
Never buy cosmetics. It's destroying the gaming industry.
