I never saw a 9 type of game when I played the demo. Maybe 7 but a 9 seems a tad high.

The game got no content and is getting 10's left and right.

The only thing that matters is that pass shouldn't be a season pass.

But the people saying this haven't played the full game for an extended period. The game is pure fun is it eerily similar to the offerings Titan fall had at launch? Yes. But I think most fans are upset that games like SFV, Star Wars Battlefront, and even Drive Club to some degree didn't get the same looks that Overwatch is getting? It's a great game, it'd getting universal praise, it's out lets move on to the games coming down the pipeline. The game is genuinely fun whether it's overrated or not

Incredible , fun, simple but Jesus effing Christ no one uses there damn mike's. It's a team game, there's times people have one because it shows and they still won't use it. Hopefully a ranking mode in some way pushes people to use mike's

Of course it's getting a pass. Article even says it's lacking but they gave it a 9 cuz it's fun. There have been tons of "fun" games over the years though, that -still- get dissected under the microscope and criticized for the same things Overwatch gets overlooked.

Hey Lego games are fun too, but at the end of the day they're not rated higher than Souls games. Budget games have been scrutinized more than this $79.99 cdn, MP-only content pending critical darling.

A risk here, is its showing publishers that instead of getting criticized for things like plot, story, length, writing, level design in SP campaigns, just take them out all together and launch a new IP at full price with some barebones MP options with the promise of more to come later.

Not saying what's there isn't okay, but compared to the effort put into some of its FPS peers like Doom or Destiny, at the same MSRP, i wouldn't say it's better.

You better believe it, the hype and BS is strong with this one.

It shouldn't be full prices and the micro transactions are annoying...... But the truth is i love this game and can't stop playing

This should be a free to play or half the price of other games because the lack of content

Yes, it was supposed to be free to play, it lacks content, has microtransactions, cliche characters, poor shooting and balance. 2 game modes and no backstory yet ppl claim this is GotY? Hype job.

i want to know people's opinion on something in video games, is it okay for a single player game to not have multiplayer and vice versa is it okay for a multiplayer game to not have story mode? i'm just curious how gamers feel about it cuz i am conflicted about the issue. Btw imo i think overwatch is overpriced for now.

People still can't deal with the fact people have been playing this game for nearly a year now from alpha and ever since then people have loved it from press to the community, all you losers crying that a MP game got a very good rating are just cry babies. Yes a MP game can be just as good as a SP game for people.

Overwatch deserves these high scores even if it does include crates that don't impact on anything as they are just skins. There are other games recently that have micro transactions as well that really shouldn't by another hyped up dev that can do no wrong.

Overwatch is the best MP game in a long time.

I played the beta and I was just kind like "eh." I mean, it's well polished, it runs smooth, etc. But I don't think it's this monumentally amazing game and frankly I don't get the high scores. To me it's a solid 7.5 or 8. No way is this a 10 or a 9.

I have yet to play it but im sure its fun with friends.. It wouldve been nice to have a campaign though

It got a pass from me lol.

BATTLEBORN
- 25 characters (now 26)
- Three gametypes
- Eight hour campaign with 4-player co-op
- Modifiable gear and loadouts
- Individual character level progression (inside and outside of matches)
- Characters learn new abilities as they level (outside of matches)
- Customizable character abilities (alter how they play)
- Achievement-based titles
- Unlockable character skins and taunts
- Six maps
- Free multiplayer and character DLC (season pass is for campaign)
~~LACK OF CONTENT - NOT WORTH $60~~

OVERWATCH
- 20 characters with static abilities
- Four gametypes
- 12 maps
- Unlockable Skins and taunts
- Free multiplayer and character DLC
- Optional microtransactions
~~AMAZING VALUE WORTH $60 ON CONSOLES~~

It is totally getting a pass, but right now it's skating by on the multiplayer being fun and the fact that this is blizzard. if they don't release enough content post launch the playerbase will drop off hard. features are very barebones (cant even vote for maps, matchmaking is sub-par).

No. It's $40 and Blizzard announced that all future maps/characters will be free. I assume they won't reneg on that. And all micros are optional cosmetic things which can be earned via loot boxes directly (getting it in the box) or buying it with digital currency (1000 gold - which can also be found in the loot boxes).
