#but god I feel bad for devs. if you remember some of the walkouts discussing working conditions

ow2 PvE NEEDS to majorly knock it out of the park to bring back a large casual audience to overwatch. Many casual players that have stuck around seem to hate the existence of role queue and are potentially unaware that there’s a gamemode called “quickplay classic” and that there is a classic form of comp too which is surprising to me. But still. I have a shit ton of hope for them doing well because this glimpse into PvP direction for ow2 is just SO good that I think the game can thrive if they get enough time on the PvE aspects.

#I say it’s so good because it’s legitimately extremely fun! it may not look very different to many players #but good god it is answering all of my problems with the game and is so damn FUN that I’m hopeful #I genuinely have a lot of thoughts on this but I’m like. #sad that casual players simply don’t understand how much better the beta is even with the changes that seem very minor to them #I’ll probably make an actually long post abt it eventually but today I’m way too tired to share my thoughts about the importance of the #casual audience #the issue is finding the middle ground of #game MUST be balanced top down bc it’s competitive + fun for casual players so that it can continue to exist #but god I feel bad for devs. if you remember some of the walkouts discussing working conditions #suits coming in demanding things giving a shitty deadline them pulling it off and then they come back to say scrap it and do something else #like. I just hope they have major progress in the PvE. #I think they need to add a bunch of playable characters that like.. even if they aren’t immediately available in qp/comp #are able to be used in the story mode or custom games #because like… there’s not a ton of ways to get casual players in if it doesn’t feel like a new game #bc again suits wanted a sequel but devs knew it’d be an expansion #which means it’s nearly impossible to meet both expectations of fans and company higher ups #anyways my tags r long. this is a brief overview of the shit I will probably talk about tho #c talks
