If you want to say what big news has been in the game circle this October, it must be the launch of "Overwatch: Return" and the end of " Overwatch ". On October 3, Blizzard officially announced that OW will be officially suspended, and its iterative product OW2 was officially launched on October 5. This wave of operations has attracted the attention of many old OW players.
However, it did not receive as well as OW as players expected, but caused great controversy among players after it was launched. Although many game media gave extremely high praise to this work, on the game rating website Metacritic, players collectively gave "Overwatch: Return" an embarrassing 1.4 points, which shows how disappointed the players are with OW2.
How did a former phenomenon game be abandoned by players? In fact, this has something to do with the previous work. Before OW2 was released, players still had great expectations for its content and gameplay. However, after OW2 was launched, players discovered that this was just "old wine in new bottles". In addition to 6V6 becoming 5V5, a few new heroes were added and hero skills optimization was gone.
It is actually OW, maybe it is a high-definition remake? If this is a normal OW update, players will definitely not have such a big reaction. But you should know that before OW2 came out, OW did not update in almost three years, and it took three years to make a high-definition remake. It is obvious that players will not buy it, let alone the price of OW2 gold skin has doubled, the quality is not as good as the first generation, and bugs and so on are frequently released. If a gold skin does not spend money on gold, it will take at least 32 weeks... It is indeed a very confident approach.
As for the new content, according to Blizzard, it is the hidden PVE mode that has been promoted before. However, the latest news is that this new PVE mode will not be launched until 2023. For an internationally renowned game manufacturer and a game that has been verified by the market, if you have to wait for a new content, you will have to wait for another year? I'm afraid, OW2 can't wait.
Compared with that, there is a game that is in sharp contrast to it. It is " Eternal Job " from Studio 24. Although it was quite controversial when it was first launched, the sales record of 6 million copies in three months is also real. Moreover, "Eternal Job Investigation" has blocked the mouths of the trolls with many big moves this year.
Even recently, "Eternal Tribulation" has also played the PVE mode launched by OW2 next year to the second version. In the second chapter of the "Road to Conquer God" PVE mode of "Eternal Tribulation", an MMO-like online game equipment synthesis and equipment conversion system was added. At the same time, all of them are free, allowing players to take care of themselves for free and have received countless praises from Eternal Tribulation players.
In terms of background shaping, plot depth and degree of perfection, and even according to the quality of the game itself, "Eternal Journey" is not bad, and it is definitely above the level. However, the PVE of "Eternal Journey" can be ahead of OW, which is very telling. OW has to wait for another year, while "Eternal Journey" has only been released for a year.
possible. The reason why OW2 is so controversial is not because Blizzard does not have the ability to do OW2 well, but because it has the ability to do it well, but gives players a "superficial" blank scroll. I wonder how long can OW2 last in this situation?
