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!
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
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.
Let us know when we can play Overwatch 1
Personally, I sometimes like when a game feels like just a new storyline (and map) for the same game. Sometimes I just want more of a good thing and don't want to have to learn new mechanics or risk the game making things worse.
And since dev time is limited, I think in theory, this could mean more time could be spent on making the story missions perfect. But in practice, I don't think that usually happens. Publishers would rather cheap out.
