Blizzard's lack of ethics aside, here's Overwatch on Switch in glorious 30fps

 

[Bucca]

30fps for a competitive shooter is just ridiculous, honestly.

At least more people can experience the game I guess.

 

[Deleted member 8852]

Looks like a pretty good port, but I don't know about 30fps on a handheld being a good match with a shooter.

Free Hong Kong.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

It looks really close on my phone to the other versions. I guess the art style helps.

 

[Gold Arsene]

I thought it looked pretty good but I don't have any intention of playing it any time soon now.

 

[Deleted member 3010]

Too bad Activision-Blizzard is a greedy pro autoritarian government company.

 

[oni-link]

This is the game with Mei, the world famous symbol of Hong Kong freedom right?

 

[Deleted member 18944]

Free Hong Kong.

LIBERATE HONG KONG, if you don't get it.

 

[Bosch]

It looks horrible @30 fps

Took me a second, but this is the subtle trolling I can get behind

How long till Game Informer is blacklisted or whateverthefuck

 

[Dezzy]

Great for those who only have a Switch, or just need to play on a handheld, but even 60 fps didn't feel like enough for me. Overwatch is the main reason I bought a 144hz gsync compatible monitor. It's fast paced and gets very hectic. Smooth clear motion makes a huge difference.

I suppose if there's no crossplay, at least everyone is on equal ground.

 

[MegaXZero]

Excellent. Shame I was interested in trying it on the switch, but Blizzard cares more about money than genocide and oppression.

 

[Zips]

lol

Click to shrink...

Oh that's good. That's damn good.

 

[xyla]

This could not have come out at a worse time.

Fuck Blizzard.

 

[Aleh]

It looks amazing and perfectly fine at 30fps. I shouldn't, but I want it.

 

[RecRoulette]

Such unfortunate launch timing.

 

[DanteMenethil]

Don't support Blizzard

Game Informer will probably be shut down soon when Gamestop finally dies off. They are in IDGAF mode.

 

[SlimeKnight]

Was going to get this for the novelty of the gyro controls but yeah, sure as fuck not going to anymore. It's your own damn fault, Blizzard.

 

[Hanbei]

I hope it bombs really fucking hard.

 

[PirateKingERA]

Fucking Blizzard, was looking forwards to trying the game for the first time.

 

[MalcomFleX]

I love my Switch, but 30 FPS for a competitive shooter is an absolute joke. Hard pass.

 

[Ogodei]

Fucking Blizzard, was looking forwards to trying the game for the first time.

Click to shrink...

Me too. The idea had always intrigued me, but alas.

 

[TheXbox]

lol

Click to shrink...

No more fucks to give GI is best GI

 

[WestEgg]

I'll get it when either it or Hong Kong is free.

 

[jviggy43]

Liberate HK!

Also 30fps looks awful.

 

[requiem]

lol

Click to shrink...

I honestly thought it said 'Berate Hong Kong' for a good minute. I was confused and angry until I realised I'd missed two letters...

 

[Twenty5Thousand]

lol

Click to shrink...

I'm not seeing it, did they edit it?

 

[Salty Rice]

lol

Click to shrink...

Love the folks at Gameinformer <3

 

[Deleted member 2791]

I'm not seeing it, did they edit it?

Click to shrink...

Don't see it either, so they probably removed it.

 

[Neoxon]

lol

Click to shrink...

Okay, that's clever. A shame that I missed it.

 

[AlexBasch]

How bad the ping would be on this, given that the newest Switch is wi-fi only, AFAIK.

Holy shit I'm dumb, I read it like "I BERATE" and I was like "who?"

FUCK.

 

[Falchion]

Talk about poor timing for this port to come out with everything Blizzard has been saying and doing.....

 

[HylianSeven]

Click to shrink...

I initially saw "Berate Hong Kong" too and was like "wtf?" then figured it out.

 

[JayCB64]

That's a Moira doing more DPS than healing alright..looked totally find at 30 FPS too.

 

[Comic Obsessed]

So, where are the reviews?

I wondered the same thing. Still curious how the port is, despite the fact that I won't be buying right now at least given Blizzard's behavior recently.

 

[Mekanos]

That GameInformer blurb is hilarious. Genuinely surprised Blizzard allowed it. Or maybe they won't and they'll get blacklisted.

 

[Scuffed]

Too bad Activision-Blizzard is a greedy pro autoritarian government company.

This. It's a real mood killer.

 

[Krysuk]

Any interest I had in this left with the Blizzard Activision disaster - as someone who has bought Doom, Wolfenstein, Diablo and Witcher 3 on switch despite having a PS4 and Xbox One and have 2 years Nintendo Online stacked on my account I would assume I'm the target audience too
Plenty of other games this time of year!

It was changed from the looks of it. I went to see the video today and the capitalized letters are gone.

 

[Cloud-Hidden]

Looks fantastic to me. Picked this back up recently on PS4, and got hooked. Will definitely enjoy playing this in the living room so I don't have to isolate myself from my wife.

 

[Deleted member 24052]

No longer interested in supporting Blizzard, to be honest. At least until something changes there.

 

[Jahranimo]

lol

Click to shrink...

Oh did they change this really quickly?

 

[TheRuralJuror]

Was going to pick this up for portable, but not now after the Hong Kong situation.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Was genuinely interested in this before but nah.

homie don't play that.

 

[benzopil]

So, where are the reviews?

Click to shrink...

Everyone started playing 50 minutes ago, including reviewers

 

[Gartooth]

Good on GameInformer.

Hard pass on this port, shame at the timing but I'm not supporting their anti-human rights actions.
