  • BogoradMax Max Bogorad (@BogoradMax) reported

    @zentreya My problem with this game is not even that the gameplay looks like any other shooter game, the whole UI is so shamelessly copied from Overwatch, they didn't even try.

  • kryOOOOOOOOO kryo (@kryOOOOOOOOO) reported

  • Janes23179495 Janes (@Janes23179495) reported

  • tazzah001 TAzzAH (@tazzah001) reported

    I’m I the only 1 who see some issues with @PlayDauntless after the last update , when I play escalations I feel like something wrong with my internet connection ( lag ) , but when I check my network and try it with other games like #Overwatch and #apex it’s work good .

  • Mgarcia_100 Common sense. (@Mgarcia_100) reported

    @gaminginthewild -which have some of the biggest ips in gaming. Ips that were playable on both consoles. Cod, Skyrim, doom, fallout, overwatch, crash, Spyro, etc.... The list can go on forever. And now, Microsoft wants to take some of those ips away from PlayStation players, which obviously sucks

  • GameGooba GameGooba (@GameGooba) reported

    @NoahJ456 I do not have a problem with SBMM, I have a problem with the rollercoaster effect where I do good one game and get assfucked in the next. Games like overwatch have SBMM except it's not noticable

  • mrsmes09 Aaron Paul Wise (@mrsmes09) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I don't have a phone is there any other way i can sign up and login to overwatch 2 on battle net?

  • Hybrid_Alchemy Demarcus (@Hybrid_Alchemy) reported

    Fix the problem on this new Gundam Overwatch clone and I'll be on by next week

  • SaikousGaze Saikou (Dr. Bustdown) (@SaikousGaze) reported

    @FrostyMacWHO Overwatch had this problem. Soldier was made gay out of basically nowhere. It seems that every single piece of media nowadays has so much forced representation. Im tired of seeing it. Its so boring. Instead of having a good story, devs just make gay characters and the internet-

  • JohnXuandou Friend Of The Show™ Buttons O'Houlihan© (@JohnXuandou) reported

    @SMuhrine Today was my first time playing it since launch and there's been a good number of updates, so I didn't have any problems. It's Overwatch with Gundam but you don't get locked into team roles so it's a lot more enjoyable than the typical hero shooter.

  • Hybrid_Alchemy Demarcus (@Hybrid_Alchemy) reported

    Fix the problem on this new Gundam Overwatch clone and I'll be ok n by next week

  • ATROPHID × ‍‍‍፧ ꜛ𝐕𝐀𝐂𝐈𝐋𝐎́𝐍 ‍‍‍. (@ATROPHID) reported

    i think half of overwatch has mommy issues .

  • SpartanSolTTV Sparty (@SpartanSolTTV) reported

    You need a phone number linked to your Blizzard account to play the upcoming MW2 and Overwatch 2 thats fine BUT they have to be post-paid plans... Companies like Metro, Cricket, and some others wont work... fix your **** @Blizzard_Ent

  • AxeIts ItsAxe (@AxeIts) reported

    10 days left before OW2 is out, honestly bit excited. Apex is meh and rainbow six is a snoozer fest with a huge cheater issue rn. I also miss overwatch in general but god I cannot stand playing it in its current state until OW2 is out

  • BluestoneNed Ned Bluestone (@BluestoneNed) reported

    @VisscherJp @BravoLebin @Gerashchenko_en Overwatch by F-15's solve that minor problem

  • deathmxrks Treva (Killswitch) (@deathmxrks) reported

    @Jai_Mento @xMischiief Lmfao depends on what you enjoy playing. As for Halo, its still halo but by dead I mean all I've heard is complaints because there has been a lack of content, network issues, etc. I've been hopping from game to game, excited to give overwatch 2 a try when it drops

  • skypage05111998 denki (with my wife and happy) (@skypage05111998) reported

    can you fix overwatch 2 beta please it said breaking news whats going on @BlizzardCS

  • _Hiraeth_1_1 𓆩нιя♡єтн𓆪 (@_Hiraeth_1_1) reported

    thank god i stopped playing overwatch before this damn power outage, otherwise i would've lost more than just that 40 sr

  • Zygun_ Alex (@Zygun_) reported

    @ohlaike yeah sucks that its moreso for testing bugs on release (to prevent broken builds like the first skye / icebox patch), wish it was also used more similarly to overwatch PTRs

  • woosanct ㅇㅅㅇ (@woosanct) reported

    i want to play overwatch but its stuck in my brothers broken xbox this is the worst day ever

  • travissmithJP TravisJPN @ 🇰🇷 (@travissmithJP) reported from Seo-gu, Busan

    Been to 3 pc bangs now and Overwatch works in none of them. It says it needs to update on the launcher and just says there was an error every time D:

  • ethunderx Cyberstarnova (@ethunderx) reported

    @GeekySwede @thicc_stick_boi Well sorry but a game company that doesn't sell as much games because it became exclusive isn't much of a buy. So COD will no longer sell as much,as well as Spyro, Crash, Skylanders, Diablo, Overwatch, and ect. So AB's value would drop significantly and there is COD alternatives

  • ethunderx Cyberstarnova (@ethunderx) reported

    @GeekySwede @thicc_stick_boi Well Spyro and Crash games haven't sold like they use to in a real long time, Diablo is slowly decaying and should've ended at 3, Overwatch is dead, Guitar Hero is really dead, Skylanders is dead, COD won't sell as much after 7yrs, and WOW will still be good.

  • WetWarlock Wet (@WetWarlock) reported

    Gundam evolution is fun but I do not enjoy having it either kick me and crash mid match for no reason, or crash at the end of the match which it’s done every single time. 6/10 Still better than overwatch

  • EthelWeasel 🔞 **** Van **** 🔞 Vicar Amelia big naturals (@EthelWeasel) reported

    Tbh i think the worst thing blizzard did in Overwatch was not give Lucio a Brazilian VA, like they didn't even try, they made that dude speak a ****** broken Portuguese and that was it

  • Valphiine literally just god (@Valphiine) reported

    Idk man, I've been playing Overwatch since release and knowing they are literally immediately shutting the servers down is... disheartening and sad

  • watchmensCLC77 Watchmen’s Collective (@watchmensCLC77) reported

    No? Let me do this name them : with Bethesda acquisition only Redfall and Starfield so far will be kept off! With ABK 0 current games will be kept off! But let me humor ya and list actual current IP that ABK produces for consoles: There is CoD, Diablo, Overwatch and Crash/Spyro!

  • UltraNevermore Ultra (@UltraNevermore) reported

    Last tweet about overwatch 2 I swear lmao Since I already bought the watchpoint pack, I'll prolly only play ow2 for the story, unless they can somehow fix this game before release, and while you're at it, maybe consider not shutting down or replacing ow1? That would be great

  • DerbyCityDerek Derek Van **** (@DerbyCityDerek) reported

    Oh no, the problem with Gundam Evolution is the same as the problem with early Overwatch Nobody knows that they need to be on the ******* point

  • scftellie — ivory 🍓 ´ˎ˗ (@scftellie) reported
