  • ekhuuli 🌙 e͙kho @ ELDEN LORD (@ekhuuli) reported

    I regret installing the PS5 System Update earlier this morning because now Elden Ring keeps giving me a "Could not verify PlayStation Plus Subscription" error. I tried with other games like Overwatch, the same thing. I hope they fix it as soon as possible 🙃

  • skycasinogm mae (@skycasinogm) reported

    is anyone else having problems w overwatch ……

  • YaDemonBoiNoka Ɲσкα {#𝟖𝟏ε} (@YaDemonBoiNoka) reported

    @hardworkingpone // I can play Ana in Overwatch pretty well, but any other hitscan I have issues with Can't ******' explain it, even my Widow is crusty compared to Ana-

  • bronzedadplays Sean 🥉 (@bronzedadplays) reported

    @SpinnyHat So the idea here is that if it looks to the player like a hit, it's a hit. No disconnect between what's seen and what's actually calculated Stuff like this already exists in competitive spaces, too. For instance, Overwatch's "favor the shooter" mechanics

  • KawsNC Fonz (@KawsNC) reported

    @NORCALsubtL The problem I see is the divide between wanting fighting games to be competitive/esports while also still having a foot in the casual sphere. And no dev wants to full commit to either. Why can overwatch, CS, Moba's, sports games, checkers... thrive for decades but FGs cant?

  • connorbeifong — connor (@connorbeifong) reported

    WHY HASNT SONY FIXED THIS PLAYSTATIONPLUS ISSUE YET.. I WANT TO PLAY OVERWATCH

  • luvedbackwards •-° (@luvedbackwards) reported

    the ******* unawareness is AMAZING on overwatch. theyll literaly be in the backline dpsing when theyre supposed to be healing and then at the end of the ******* game, have the GALL to say "whats the problem?" like THEYRE NOT THE ******* PROBLEM. WHAAAATTTTTT

  • 4JMAN AJ Hammond (@4JMAN) reported

    @Gian_Steele LMAOO even though I hate OW i don’t wanna see the college scene just die. It’s the same issues I had in overwatch like total lack of dev support and awareness that are the core issues Halo is experiencing. Feel like a broken record at this point

  • 2kyphose skyphose (@2kyphose) reported

    new game idea: fix overwatch

  • carlstromjonte1 Jonathan carlström (@carlstromjonte1) reported

    @dizzykitten7 @MrTheVestman Reminds me of the time when overwatch was lagging for me. Looked for the issue for 4 hours in the computer just to find out I plugged my HDMI cable into the processor instead of the graphic card. Sometimes the solution is easier than it seems…

  • caligiuri_tony Tony Caligiuri (@caligiuri_tony) reported

    @BlizzardCS your suspension system for overwatch is garbage get suspended for 60 mins cuz my game crashed? Wtf fix your ****. I have 32g of ram I should not be crashing. Now I’m banned for 60 mins even though I rejoin the match? Bozos

  • DAVIDNITKA David Nitka (@DAVIDNITKA) reported

    @dota2 I played about 10 unranked matches of your game. It takes a long time to find a match. Yesterday I was playing and my 3 year old unplugged my router causing me to disconnect. It took my 30 minutes of searching online to understand an overwatch penalty. Now my account(1/2)

  • keksword にゃん (@keksword) reported

    @sanematrelix Also Google how to "play overwatch properly" because poor brit has problems with spelling and directions, early signs of dyslexia

  • Ret2ModGaming Retro2Modern Gaming and Commissions (@Ret2ModGaming) reported

    @Jinxy_Arin @WanderingNepNep I can agree with you on this that Microsoft should shut down AB and have all the IP's like Crash, Spyro, Overwatch, etc. as their own.

  • bexrexdoesit Becca Theadore M.A. (@bexrexdoesit) reported

    I'm so bitter because I haven't been able to play overwatch since December because of lag issues. @BlizzardCS was no help, neither was @Ask_Spectrum or @Lenovo yall wanna sit in a room and figure it out? Because my brand new laptop shouldn't have this issue. It worked fine before

  • JunkFizz 非常に悪い意見先生🍈「ɱɛʟøռʄɨʐʐ」🍹 ソーダメロン 🍱 (@JunkFizz) reported

    @kishikybe I always have a brain crash when I’m reminded Overwatch was a modern Blizzard title and the devs were so trash. I’m often distracted by the fact the game gets boring after 5 rounds and I never want to play it again.

  • twiceokay twicepinker (@twiceokay) reported

    omfg playstation pls fix it, i want to throw on overwatch already 😭

  • BeesAndMilkTV Bees And Milk (@BeesAndMilkTV) reported

    @BlizzardCS guys I am locked out of my Authenticator and my battle. net account. Your customer service has no way to fix this and I just want to get back into Overwatch.

  • Uck_Shuck_IV UckShuck: Act IV (@Uck_Shuck_IV) reported

    @gr4p13 It wasn’t the Overwatch team, the main people known to be at fault were on the WoW team. This person is just using the issues at Activision Blizzard for cheap clout and blaming the wrong people (and possibly even victims) and it’s pretty disgusting.

  • Anxsaa3 Anxsaa (@Anxsaa3) reported

    Love when I actually want to go play and enjoy overwatch, and people have found new ways to crash game clients. Mute match chat guys, that fixed it for my team last game, no clue what's happening or to find how who did it

  • coreymm1 corey m m (@coreymm1) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Man I haven't played overwatch in a while and used to play on the xbox how can I get my progression on PlayStation and what if I don't know the battle net login

  • JellyDonuts27 Erika Cotto (@JellyDonuts27) reported

    @PlayStationUK After this update I’m having issues trying to play certain online games. I tried booting up Overwatch and it said I need psplus to play even though my membership doesn’t expire until June

  • hilaryduffVAL hilaryduff290432 (@hilaryduffVAL) reported

    valorant servers down, playing overwatch. This game is awful.

  • RyGoesPOP RyGoesPOP (@RyGoesPOP) reported

    @HazzadorGamin I want them to say yes, I really wanna see a lot of outcomes post acquisition. Crash and Spyro in Super Smash Bros, a COD and Doom Crossover, Master Chief in Overwatch 2, everything. I want them to say Yes

  • SEKIJlRO colt | GRACE DAY (@SEKIJlRO) reported

    @obitoism i actively played overwatch for one character but they nerfed her into the ground so between that and the issues the company had before microsoft bought it makes me barely play anymore

  • kayjiio Weirdo (@kayjiio) reported

    I wanna play and get better...but -Bad setup, game needs 10000000 years to load -Wifi issues, dc every game + 400 ping - can't even login to Overwatch sometimws

  • petroBOOMlN petroBOOMIN (@petroBOOMlN) reported

    Do you know how they try to revive and usually inevitably fail to fix a dead game? They hype and release (enter dead game) 2 .. #warzone #Overwatch #Terrible2's

  • harlotndemons Harlot ENVtuber (@harlotndemons) reported

    Wow I’m blown away by my community. Through multiple Overwatch crashes, a pc hard crash The Apostasy Family hung around tonight and supported me as I dealt with all these tech issues, unfortunately this is nothing new (1/2)

  • cyberIifedva sami ♡ anti souli (@cyberIifedva) reported

    @CATBOYGlYU LITERALLY ALL I DO IS PLAY OVERWATCH AND GET **** TALKED may have been the past but my anger issues won’t allow me to forget the past…..

  • AdferrisNB Ad (@AdferrisNB) reported

    Can't wait for OverWatch 2... for it to be the same game, less tank. 3 tanks was an issue, 2 tanks are the problem now and one tank will constantly feed. People have been talking about Brig for years when Echo is still a thing.
