Overwatch or Rivals?

[MrDerfla]

Honest opinions.

No fan girling.....just tell me your honest preference.

No one will judge :)

You mean Overwatch 2? No thanks. Make mine Marvel.

OW2 is too restrictive. Marvel Rivals has given me great freedom, however, in choosing and implementing strats. Team-up feature's a very nice touch, and MR wisely chose to avoid forcing a comp for Ranked.

I'll rate based on my feelings one month-two months into both games lifespan, because I don't think it's really fair to base it on my feelings of OW(OW2) now vs Rivals two months in.

I've enjoyed Rivals a lot since it released, but I also enjoyed Overwatch a ton near release in 2016. Had a lot of fun playing it with friends back in the day.

I think based on that, I'd say Overwatch since the novelty of the hero shooter genre was a lot fresher. I prefer Rivals to current OW2, though, by a long shot.

Depending on how this game shakes out, I'll probably like it more than OW overall one day.

Rivals has yet to create a 2nd inferior game and prevent you from ever playing the first game.

[MrDerfla]

My problem with Overwatch (2) is there is no group finder and its basically reverting back to Overwatch 1 with was fun. Rivals has kept my interest.......however the skill gap is pretty massive. Or is that just me thinking that?

Pre purchased OW and played it for a few months. Came back to play w friends and many times on OW2 too. Not a fan, but MR is refreshing

[andynnos]

Marvel clearly.

Rivals is better than current overwatch

Overwatch 2, the sequel to the critically acclaimed 2016 Overwatch. The gold standard, the game that will lead us into a shining future. It tends to hit 30K players during peak time daily (not counting Blizzard launcher users and console crossplayers) so it still has solid player numbers considering all the controversy it's been through, so I don't mind.

Rivals runs at low FPS even when playing at the lowest settings while OW2 is very well optimized and can run at high/ultra on even old PC's, while still somehow looking better than Rivals. (granted that mostly had to do with its art direction rather than raw visual fidelity though)

Overwatch is 'okay'. I just won't play any blizzard titles again because I don't like how they want to inflict their politics onto their customer base.

Rivals is fun for me without all the social / political messaging.

Having said all that, why are you asking here? Try both and answer for yourself which is more fun for you. Do you need random strangers on the internet telling you how you should feel? Who gives a rip as long as you are enjoying you gaming time. You don't need our opinion or approval to justify which game has entertainment value to you.

It's called a conversation starter.

[Magik]

Yeah but it's not a unique " conversation starter. " This question has been asked to death already, and the only thing it tends to do is create arguments, thus this thread had zero value. The only reason I called OW2 the gold standard above was to literally be a clown and start an argument and also because im bored.

But I do enjoy both games.

Honestly i would hesitate if we were talking about Overwatch 1, Kaplan era, 6v6, before the enforced 2/2/2, or during eventually. I don't like much the restrictive aspects of OW2, and also the wokeness trend that stormed the game (renaming Mcree, etc ..) + the graphics rendering also sucks compared to OW1, it looks kinda "plastic" and less detailed (characters), OW1 was better in many regards imo. So atm for me it's Marvel Rivals.

[Keibaret]

marvel, i have OW2 but its not for me! i just wish my marvels would stop crashing

[Arthur Morrigan]

I have more fun in 3rd person than 1st.

[FayoBalo]

Rivals unironically made me like hero shooters and support roles
F**K OW
