every game is repetitive if you play more than enough of it.

Yeah, I'm gonna wait for the dust to settle on this one. See how much longetivity it really has, wanna see if the cracks start to show after a few weeks.

Saying that, I really do hope it's as good as people say, haven't been into a MP Shooter since Battlefield 3

All multiplayer games are repetitive. What matters is if they're fun or not.

I like it so far - except for the controls. They are hard for me to get use to. Specifically, the aiming. I also wish there was more indication when you kill someone. Sometimes, it's hard to tell who got a kill (a lot of the times).

Those are my main 2 issues with it, up to now.

The one thing I have a problem with Multiplayer only games is that if I was to buy the game much later down the road, then everyone I play against is just way better than I am since they've been playing for a while. Not to mention, the community might die off before I get a chance to play.

Cept MGSV was the best game of 2015 and Overwatch is the best game out so far this year.

When all the haters can muster up is "its repetitive" they put their ignorance on blast because every game ever created is repetitive to a large degree... the difference is quality, innovation and polish of said repetition.

Except Overwatch will continue to be supported with all kinds of changes and added content. Every multiplayer is repetitive at its core, the real question is it fun? LoL and Dota 2 are perfect examples. The hate for this game is really unwarranted on this site...

Different people reviewed the games, why is it fair to compare reviews, even if it is the same site?

@shinron you are entitled to your opinion but the witcher 3 is widely considered the best of 2015 me included I mean if you want to get technical blood and wine is far better than mgsv

i couldn't agree more i think these game reviewers also buy into the hype just like gamers. overwatch doesn't have single player content so in no way shape or form should it get 9.4. when will gamers finally stop these publishers from taking advantage of us? what really bothers me is that overwatch could have had an amazing story since the universe is great but why bother

games should offer SP and MP as a complete package

atleast overwatch doesn't have a season pass and all future add on content will be included in original price when on other hand you have a game like rainbow six which charged full price plus a season pass

gamers refuse to speak with their wallets and publishers refuse to offer any more than needed

Completely disagree. Whilst I dont rate MGV anywhere near as highly as others do, this game is such a breath of fresh air and I hardly knew anything about it prior to playing it.

this review sounds like it was made by Blizzard fanboy! everything lacking about it is swept under the rug and it pretty much says "this is Blizzard's game, buy it!"

Rocket league is just as reptitive buddy and it's still a 9.5 to me. The gameplay is from the 6v6 multiplayer combat and it's competitiveness to win. That's all there is to it. Same reason people play cod and battlefield, dota, league of legends. All are reptitive, but all are rewarding when you kick ass

How is UC not repetitive? will you play UC4 for months? I doubt it, I love UC but am playing through it on crushing now and MP starting to get repetitive so Ill be done with it for a while and it will be in my collection to play sometime in the future.

UC4 no doubt is the better game but most games are repetitive.

"I mean better then Uncharted 4 by their reviews....no"

how can we take anything you say seriously? most things you talk about are pessimistic views in the first place and we already know you have a bias in favor of anything in relation to the ps4. furthermore you don't give scores to other games so what basis do we take your opinion on? the answer is we don't. your scale would be no better than this persons from ign and likely to be a lot worse and biased.

this reviewer is one person sharing his opinion on ythis game. he does not need to have a chart in front of him that says he must enjoy uncharted 4 more. ask yourself this, if uncharted 4 is the perfect game for ps4 owners why will it never achieve a 100% attach ratio? the asnwer is because everyone has differrnt tastes. your opinion of a game like halo 5 would likely be below the common avergage, please explain why? but you woin't. you'll go back into hiding never answering anything and move onto something else to whine about. that is what you do, you pick your battles and argue against them. rarely do you show agreements or positive feedback. which goes to show what a complete hypocrite you are to be attacking any reviewer.

It's funny too because a game like Destiny had its flaws on launch just like games like Evolve did but it's obviously had some of the longest legs of any mp game this gen....and IGN gave that one around a 7 & Evolve around a 9. I get that people have opinions, but the best review outlets should reflect that general consensus after the honeymoon period is over. As gamers we are easily excited by the shiny new thing, so its natural that we give games we are hyped for high marks at launch only to realize that it loses its luster when you spend time with it, reviewers should be well versed enough to cut through that first day hype & reflect a more even handed impression (this is not in relation to Overwatch itself, I haven't played it so I can't comment on it)

For whatever reason IGN just has some weird reviews. They are rarely ever entirely off base, but just consistently weird enough to incite a chuckle.

I feel like we have far too many games that are consistently reviewing nearly perfect across the board....everything is an 8 at the lowest, 9 on average, and 10's all around.

Maybe it's because there are so many more reviews these days it is more pervasive, but there are most likely even more film & music reviews and you don't see that happening in relation to those mediums. Very few films garner 9's & nearly none garner 10's, and the spread between outlets is nowhere near as wide as they are for gaming.

"this reviewer is one person sharing his opinion on ythis game... everyone has differrnt tastes. your opinion of a game like halo 5 would likely be below the common avergage"

That's an interesting point though, in that rationale it brings up the idea that editors may be the ones at fault for assigning reviewers in a poor fashion.

Should the reviewer for any particular game be a fan of that genre as a prerequisite? Would it be better if you assigned someone who actively dislikes the genre in order to create a tougher critique? I really don't know the answer to that, but as a hypothetical scenario, if I'm a huge RTS fan and only play those kinds of games in my spare time, am I qualified to create a review for something like Rise of the Tomb Raider? I honestly don't know the answer to any of that, but there does need to be some consistency in whatever route an editor takes. They can't choose the easy route on one game & the tough one on another. I personally wonder if any thought goes into these kinds of choices at all, or if they just grab whoever happens to walk by & happens to be free.

These are the kinds of things that really illustrate to me that outlets need to take this recent review controversy to really go in depth on their processes. As it stands there is no transparency or consistency in any faceless reviews from all of the major outlets, which is why I always turn to guys like Jim Sterling or Angry Joe. They are personalities, but by that token they are a lot more transparent, and they tend to actually show their work...if they found a bug, we see video of it, if there are lame animations we see that...bad v/o, we hear that. I just never see that kind of involved process in any of the major outlets...most of these reviews read like press releases w/ an added sentence or paragraph of soft kiddie gloves critique.

@jb227

i would think someone that is a fan of fps for example would be more than qualified to review lawbreakers but another reviewer who doesn't care or isn't a fan of shooters probably won't get a fair review. uncharted 4 and this game really have nothing in common and did this same person review uncharted 4? ign has a staff of more than one person so it's not like there is a parallel to each review to begin with.

another question, did Foxtrot play both games to decide upon himself this game is not as fun to play as uncharted 4? he has a right to his opinion on which is better but that opinion should be based on experience too otherwise he's contradicting himself. the reviewer of this game also has the right to enjoy this game more than uncharted 4 because again that is his opinion even if metacritic doesn't support this game to be better.

a reviewer for ign doesn't necesarrily have to represent all the staff and all the previous reviews before giving his review on this game. but again Foxtrot is biased to begin with and will never properly explain his situation here. he'd rather be dismissive or ignore it.

@Perjoss

Thats a fanboy accusation you just made. While you're trying to justify that comment, you're missing the point that is being made in everyone of these articles. Its about parity, you cant dock all these other games for no single player and lack of content. But not dock this game for no single player and lack of content.

@Utalkin

No, you are missing the point. Overwatch is not a single player game and it doesn't have that same SP expectancy these established franchises like SF and UC have.
Don't even know why people keep drawing comparisons to them.
Why not battleborn or something?
They shouldn't critique the game for not having what isn't intended just because some other game from a totally different genre, with a totally different focus did.
That's absolutely ridiculous.

And if you look at their review "sparse modes" is accounted for, they did dock it. The game just nails everything else.

Will agree with you that about Peross accusation, but I agree with him that people are hostile towards UC negativity.

And actually there isn't any negativity towards the game here, UC shouldn't even be the discussion of this comment section.
But some upset folks decided to destroy an actual discussion before it even started.

And honestly, they'll be quick to say "not every single player game needs multi player", yet they don't apply the same on the opposite end.

@Beasley they had every opportunity to play the beta to find out if this game was for them. Just like the souls series you have to get good. I'm no strangers to competitive gaming, but some gamers out there, are just incredibly good, on any platform. Oh well, still fun.

You need to get your head checked. Hahahaha.

Overwatch is just another Team Fortress just with less content. Uncharted 4's MP wipes Overwatch out of the water. Fluid gameplay, more content, and a lot of parkour.

Overwatch is a joke in comparison.

@HammadTheBeast

Did you just really say OW is balanced? I guess we have played 2 different games.
