Xdefiant is actually fun.
Marvel is confirmed to be getting a beta for console soon so now it’s targeting a bigger audience.
Concord looks like a fun 5v5 hero shooter game. And I saw one other hero shooter looking game on the horizon.
There are about to be many choices for games other than Overwatch. They really need to step up the game with this much competition being around them.
competition is good since they are pressured to push the envelope more or yea… shut the game down lol
I hope it’s good for them. Actually I don’t think I care now if Overwatch recovers. Xdefiant has been a blast so far. A little grindy but so fun. Overwatch may just fall into a go back for custom game for me. Especially if I end up liking marvel rivals when I get into the beta. And this concord game actually looked fun with its movement.
Lmao, I feel like 90% of the people here just want revenge at blizzard.
I’ve just had no desire to play to play the game lately. This despite having nearly completed the battlepass. I just don’t like going against stacks.
Competition is probably the best thing we could get. Right now the devs have a hostage fanebase, the closest competitors being R6:Siege and Paladins which haven’t won over the core OW players in years means we’ve had nowhere to go if we want OW like gameplay but don’t like OW’s current feel.
Newer games with actual potential to flip some of the hardcore OW crowd could help in pushing t4 to focus on making and keeping OW more appealing, fun, and rewarding so people have less reason to leave. It could also spell the game’s doom if they fail to retain players in the wake of these games going live.
Right now it’s all speculation and conjecture, I just am somewhat hopeful that if OW continues to feel less fun season after season one of these new games feels fun to me.
What is this game? It’s the only one I’ve heard of but haven’t seen any gameplay for. So it’s a hero shooter? What differentiates it?
It’s basically more CoD than moba.
I’m in the “wait and see camp” I think competition is good, but, I don’t think it will be taking the same playerbase.
The more CODy hero shooters have a long history of dying on the vine. I’m not sure if this gets around the problems they tend to have.
We’ll see. The good news is it seems to be bringing in some shooter content creators a little bit. Which is massive. But you’re right it could die out. If they have anything going for them is that they’re a free CoD experience.
obviously they stole the game we paid for after promising to keep it with ow2
I thought the free CoD game was the free CoD experience 
Anywho. Looking forward to the Rivals beta. Havent played a good team Marvel game since X-men Legends, some 20ish years ago. I want it to be good, here’s hoping 
Choices are good. Competition is good. None of this means Overwatch is going anywhere. There’s enough differences with these games that none will kill Overwatch.
Xdefiant has invisibility and 1-shots. Not going near that!! Why don’t developers learn from what went before?
Precisely - like, they said TF2 would go down in flames once OW released. Last I checked, it’s still around and hasn’t gone into maintenance mode yet (though it probably will once Deadlock releases, though that owes more to the fact Valve can’t count to 3).
When Valorant released, they said OW would go down in flames. Guess what? It hasn’t - at least, not yet.
Also, not to put too fine of a point on it, but the day OW will be truly dead is when I no longer see forum threads saying “OW is dead”. Because actions speak louder than words.
Truth. Ive always giggled at the irony. Same with people announcing theyre quiting/uninstalling etc. So transparent whats actually being conveyed in those threads.
Most people around here want the game to die to suit their agenda. Pretty pathetic really
Overwatch isn’t going to step up even with competition. Not looking good with Microsoft under the helm. Rivals looks fun but Disney and Netease(especially) could somehow ruin it. XDefiant isn’t no Overwatch felt more Black OPs 3 hybrid.
It does not matter if they do not fix their netcode. It is absolutely unacceptable for anyone that does not regularly play CoD.
It is real competition.
Probably dead in the water without Xbox and being pay to play. It looks interesting, though. A lot of potential for about a month.
So fun I immediately uninstalled it.
