tried giving overwatch 2 a shot today! it told me to sign in through battle.net, so I went to do that and then it told me to check the authenticator app and I haven't had that on my phone in 5+ years

so I try to email their customer support and it makes me answer some security questions first. but they aren't normal security questions it's ♥♥♥♥ like "what month did you make your first wow character" and "how many hearthstone card packs have you opened" which like how would anyone know these so I got them all wrong and it locked me out

then I go to make a new account and it asks me for more information than I had to put in for financial aid in college so I uninstalled overwatch 2

is this what it's like to play a multiplayer game these days

I was really looking forward to this game. I boot up and it asks me for permission to connect to Capcom ID. I click accept, and nothing happens. I do this a few more times, then decide to look up what that is. Apparently I have to go to their website to make an account, which it forgot to tell me. Whatever, fine, minor issue. I go do that, boot the game back up, and it fails to connect. But it tells me that I can play the single player without it, and that's really what I wanted to check out first anyway, so I just move on.

The single player campaign is not playable. I have never seen a game drop in the past 20 years that SLOWS DOWN when it drops below 60fps. And it's never at 60fps. Characters jump in slow motion, it's like we're fighting underwater. I wasn't surprised at all to look up my performance issues (on minimum settings with a 6600XT by the way) and find that the game has Denuvo. Are we really still not at a point where companies learn the problems with this? Embarrassing for Capcom to release a game like this in 2023. Wait a week for when they inevitably remove Denuvo after the game gets cracked anyway because it doesn't even work.
