Oh they are relevant. But not in the sense of the games quality.
On top of that, I can point to paladins, TF2, LOL, APEX, Valorant.
For having much more expensive cosmetics, less content, a lot less free content.
Plus loads of canceled content of their own.
Like Titan fall three got cancled to make Apex now. Let alone the promised Heavy update. That will most likely never happen.
Ow2 isn’t a bad game. And has gone through the same things most of it’s competitors have.
They why did you say
Becuase that makes it seem like your determining that is consider “in the game”
And theses are all valid complaints to different degrees.
Im not trying to change your mind, All im saying is you cant ignore reviews becuase you find them “bad”. Becuase with that logic i could make any game good or bad depending on how i filter reviews
I partially agree with you here, if you’re talking about strictly the gameplay changes from Overwatch to OW2. (Though to be fair there are also some things you can tell from seeing them without having to actually play them yourself, like how I realized FFXIII was a bad game well before I borrowed and finished it simply because a friend wouldn’t accept my opinion it was bad if I hadn’t beaten it.)
But some things are still important if you played Overwatch but didn’t play OW2: if you don’t like the monetization model of OW2, it’s fair to consider that worthy of a negative review. And you don’t even have to play OW2 to be able to tell the monetization is different: it’s well-known and you can look it up outside of the game.
If someone’s trying to take issue with stuff in OW2 that actually requires them having played it to experience, and they haven’t bothered to play it and are still leaving a negative review, then that’s not great. Bad faith reviews aren’t helpful.
But it’s pretty much impossible to tell who in the Steam reviews is doing that as opposed to having any of a number of valid reasons for not liking OW2. You have to leave a comment with Steam review, and if you don’t like it but don’t want to bother typing out a full list so just put something short, how can you tell that person apart from someone who’s giving it a negative review in bad faith? They’re pretty indistinguishable.
Content that was canceled, and none game play related purchases are indeed outside of the games core gameplay loop.
Doubly so when they are doubling down on PVP content.
Oh in that case where is the rabbid Apex hate for titan fall three.
Were is the thousands of negative TF2 reviews for the lack of a heavy update.
Yet for overwatch to be the most hated game on steam…
Because they didn’t want to make the PVE game anymore.
And they adopted cheaper MTX practice then their free to play counter parts?
Ya m8 I think people are full of hot air on this one.
Like god imagine if Half life two was review bombed like this because they didn’t want to make HL3.
In your opinion.
All the facts and every other source confirms that it is, regardless of you/the curator.
But, I suspect that the curator will make their way around to OW2 at some point anyways. It might be awhile though… that curator has taken years to get to some games by the looks of it.
I think that is incorrect, I a game promises to do x thing then doesnt do it, its a valid thing to put into a review
This alone proves you dont understand how steam reviews work. Its not a number system its a recommend vs not recommend.
I would give OW a 4/10 personally, meaning that i would not recommend the game on steam, that doesnt mean i hate it just dont recommend it
Let’s ignore the Curator, Steam doesn’t show a review bomb yet.
So who do you believe, some clickbait driven “journalists” or Steam itself?
You want to believe there is a review bomb, so you parrot what the media is saying.
I on the other hand wait and see what STEAM is gonna do, because that’s the ONLY thing that matters at the end.
They canceled it, it’s not a surprise. they didn’t pull the rug out from under you.
And people didn’t pay for it.
And those reviews get collected in mass to creat a general feel how the community feels about it.
Based on scale that instead of converting into a number between 1/10. It is presented as overly positive to overly negative.
Which behind the scenes is still a number M8.
On a side note, I have zero Idea what your talking about. I didn’t mention a number in that quote.
Your kind of going into left field M8. Or at this point left the stadium and driving into the ocean.
Also on a side side note, no many games have done things just like OW did.
Some are still highly rated, right now OW2 is worst reviewed steam on game.
I can tell you now that this is just a mass review bomb. Because like a lot worse games are getting less hate then OW.
The difference between you and I is that I can use my own eyes… I don’t need Steam or anyone else to tell me what I can see for myself. For some reason you aren’t using your own eyes and just want to go by what someone else tells you.
People being upset about something that was promised, then abandoned and known to be discarded for a year after Overwatch 2’s release and thus making it false advertising and able to be held for legal liability while we can’t even go back to the original game we actually paid for/prefer?
Whack.
Hardly a review bomb, tbh. Just because it happened in a matter of days doesn’t mean it’s all false. Blizzard just can’t control/hide the negativity on Steam. 
And Steam isn’t the only place that Overwatch “2”'s reputation and rating is trash.
Neon, before using your eyes, did you perhaps have some mushrooms?
Personally, I think most of the negative reviews are legit and genuine. I also think that yes there is a VERY SMALL portion of reviews just for trolling and bombing.
I hope Steam gets rid of those, like they did with other games.
I think the big majority of negative reviews will remain after Steam is done with their work.
This isn’t true.
Also I think you meant before. because were like a year into OW2 ish.
What your reffering to is when Aaron decide to put PVE on hold to get on hands on deck to make the pvp mode for OW2 we have now. Which is old news as this was mentioned way back when they announced they were releasing pvp in early access.
Which put PVE development on hold but not canceled, When it actually got cancled was a lot closer to season 6 it’s self.
I would say around april-ish. As that’s when the leads on the skill tree development, and mission design left the company.
must be a pretty bad game
i don’t understand what makes you think a bunch of people get controlled by an evil anti overwatch squad but cope
Sounds like a Skill Issue, still.
The point is that it was still false advertising. They should’ve never brought Overwatch 2- should’ve kept it how it was. Nothing’s changed nor improved, really.
Not recently 
Idk what reviews you’re reading but most of the reviews that I’ve seen do not seem legit or genuine
Well, that’s our personal opinion.
It’s up to Steam to decide, we will see 
it’s not remotely. It’s still on par with most of it’s competitors in terms of quality.
Like as much as people are mad about the PVE, they are still playing the game.
I don’t understand where you even remotely got this idea.
As with most review bomb’s it’s usually a group of people getting upset over something. And spamming said reviews with meme’s copypasta’s and more.
all in a short time. And if haven’t noticed, the review bombing has mostly stopped. And are now just getting people spilling in over time like natural reviews.
the term review bomb implies an unnatural selection of reviews, this is actions and consequences i doubt youtubers barely had a hand this time
???
yes alot of the reviews are just junk meme’s at the moment.
Also yes the youtubers would have done a lot to add to this. Even if not directly.
