    by “tries to rob you blind” you mean a game with entirely optional additional purchases?

    wow you’re right they really get you with that “you can pay if you want” model

    it’s practically criminal definitely worthy of being the worst ranked game on steam

        then please explain why Counter Strike Global Offensive, Team Fortress 2, Dota 2, etc. don’t deserve to have the same rating

          As far as I’m concerned they do. But my opinion doesn’t decide the rating of a game any more than yours that’s it’s supposedly a better game than bad rats.

          It’s a product of everyone who votes giving their opinion, and the entire steam userbase has come to the consensus that Overwatch 2 is a particularly egregious example of it.

          It cannot possibly be a review bomb when the reviews are legitimate opinions based on what the game is.

            supposedly a better game than bad rats

            the previously referenced games all sit above 80% positive and yet have the exact same problems that you cite as OW2’s reason for being bad

            legitimate opinions

            “the zeitgeist has told them that the game is bad” is not a legitimate reason for not liking OW2, hence accusations of review bombing

            if you think there are legitimate reasons OW2 deserves the rating it has, by all means please provide them, but so far all you’ve given me are #badthings that also apply to basically all the popular F2P games on Steam.

              Because it’s a F2P game that is monetized as such and exists only to make the game I bought obsolete.

              I bought a game.

              The game I have now is not the game I bought.

                correct: it’s a different game

                reviewing it because it’s not Overwatch 1 is by definition review bombing

                  it’s the game they gave me to replace the game i purchased.

                  if i bought a toyota camry, and 2 years later toyota said “sorry we can’t let you continue using your camry, here’s a corolla” you better fucking believe i’d be trashing toyota in every public space possible to warn potential customers.

              Those games are not nearly as aggressive in their attempts to get you to buy shit. CSGO? a tiny ass fucking button to buy Prime. TF2? Don’t even remember seeing a shop button.

              OW2? Makes the worst, money hungry mobile free-to-play blush with how aggressive it tries to sell you shit.

              And they killed OW1, just for this.

                tf2 drops crates every 30 minutes that’s literally just an advert for the in-game store (which has a dedicated button pretty clearly labelled on the main menu)

                pretty sure CSGO does the same

                  CSGO does not do the same. I play that one regularly.

      Optional? They added the new heroes to the battle pass…. Doesn’t seem that optional, unless you want to spend hours of farming the free tier… for me, that definitely deserves a negative rating.

          I don’t know, I’ve never played LoL, but either way, I don’t see how that does it make it look better for OW.

          And if we really want to make a comparison, let’s make it with OW1. There new heroes were unlocked automatically for everyone when they were released. Usually in a sequel dev try to make things better, not worse.

            because there very obviously isn’t this level of negative-hype for LoL, when it does the exact same thing

              Probably because it was like that from the start? In OW they changed how the unlocking of characters works, in an objectively worse way.
