Having abilities makes it a hack?
And what makes it a real fps or not?
Better tell Tribes it's just an fps with a speed and low gravity hack and thus is not a real FPS

when those "abilities" replicate exactly the shit that people buy hacks for in the first place, absolutely
as for what makes something a real fps
hitboxes that arent trash. nothing should ever auto aim in infantry v infantry situations. netcode that isnt trash. no pressing a single button to make you or your team mostly impervious for however many seconds. no press q to kill the entire enemy team. maps that arent 95% chokepoint after chokepoint etc etc
these reasons, and many many more, are why this game has the most awful community. even at the games highest ranking level the players are comically bad

Weird, the last game that did that to me was CODGhosts.
I feel ya OP. I managed to break away from Overwatch's clutches for 2 months but it ended up getting me again. I have so many unplayed games...
Fixed.

This is the main reason I don't play addictive online mp anymore. It's just so easy to get lost in it.

So, OP played Overwatch and Bayonetta, and then felt other games were lacking?
Funny that...
You just played the best multiplayer and singleplayer games respectively in forever. I had massive gaming fatigue after Bayonetta when it came out on XB360. It just put the bar so far ahead.

Had this feeling with Destiny.
Bought other games I wanted to play, played them for like 10mins tops and went back to Destiny.
Overwatch hasn't quite gotten a hold of me in this way, it's more my "low on time, let's smash a few rounds in game."
Edit: Actually, now that I think about it, I'm just now getting round to playing other games since Destiny got released.
Got one helluva backlog now :I

It happens when you get hooked on a good multiplayer game, and that's a great thing! Instead of continually dropping money on new games you're getting your money's worth out of one game.
At this time nothing has my undivided attention. Black Mesa has been my go to game as of late, but nothing has managed to sink it's hooks into me.

i go through phases like that, rocket league dominated my gaming for around 400 hours. its more enjoyable that way. playing bits of games sucks.
now its zelda
now its zelda
That's what I felt like for almost a year. But right now I haven't been playing nearly as much. Down from 15 games a night to maybe 2-3. Sometimes I don't even log on at all. I've been playing Elder Scrolls Online and revisiting single player games I've never finished aka my backlog. It's actually pretty refreshing to take a break, or at least lessen my time in Overwatch.
I'm trying to get into the lore of ESO, cause it's getting pretty good.

It's OK. Sometimes we are just weird with gaming. For example, I can't make myself go back to BotW. It's just an OK game to me that doesn't reach the emotional level of games like NieR Automata or Horizon. I know it's a good game, but it may not be for me.
Paragon and Mario Kart take up my multiplayer time. I have 30 days in Paragon and no signs of slowing down.
We all like what we like. Nothing right or wrong about it.

Just go with what suits you. In the past 6 months -
i have complete:
Horizon zero dawn
I have started and not finished:
Persona 5 (done first dungeon)
Arigami (played half then stopped)
Apart from that i have pretty much just been playing sfv. Maybe the odd game of overwatch and a touch of hearthstone.
Its simply down to time. I play roughly 4 nights a week for 60-90 mins in a sitting and i like to just play some matches of SFV for the most part. Single player games mostly feel like they need a much longer commitment to feel i am getting anywhere. Also a lot just feel like i have been there done that. I used to play LoL before my son arrived but a game that takes 45-60 mins uninterrupted is a no go right now. 5-10 mins is perfect, so a Street Fighter V set, fps match or game of hearthstone works really well.
Tastes change as you grow and time constraints change. No doubt when my son is older and i have more time i will either play more single player stuff or game with him if he finds it interesting but right now this suits me much better.

I would suggest playing Splatoon, but this may just add a second problem to your first.
Overwatch definitely needs some more meat on it's bones. It's great and all, but the lack of any really meaningful content additions has been a letdown. After several hundred hours of playing, I just don't find it nearly as fun as I used to.
It took the majority of my gaming time last year, so that's pretty major, but find that I'm not compelled to play it right now. I did go back for the Uprising event (becuz skinz, lolz), but haven't touched it much since that event ended. Maybe the anniversary update will have something interesting that gives it more legs, but I doubt it.
Edit: I don't think it's necessarily a problem that you're stuck on one game, OP. Eventually you'll get tired of it and put it down for the next thing that interests you. I've been playing a lot of Red Dead Redemption recently and I think I may end up completing it again. It's a 7 year old game that plays better now than it did when it released thanks to X1 backwards compatibility. If you don't want to play anything except Overwatch right now, you probably shouldn't. Those great games are still going to be great in a few months time when you've burned yourself out.

this is a niceish summary of how i feel. i havent played overwatch tbh, but i feel like i have a good idea of how it plays, and it fascinates me that someone can just not help but play it so much that all other video games are hard to enjoy
honestly, im sick of games titled overwatch

- there's counters
- hit boxes aren't flawless but it's Blizzard's first fps and they've patched them multiple times to make them better
- there's counters
- net code is the best out of any console fps I have by far
- there's counters
- map design could use some variety but sounds like you'd like control maps
- then you must be at least a master right

I played a game of Overwatch and suddenly appreciated every other game I have so much more.
I do have a problem with League of Legends taking up a lot of my gaming time though.

Came to post this. If only more people in the Overwatch fanbase would be willing to give Splatoon (2) a chance, I'm sure many of them would like it.
The core feedback loop is just really strong and is really propped up by a gacha system. The game puts you in servers for long amounts of time, plays in a loop of distinct phases, has rewards like Play of the Game to keep you going, and gives you a gacha box every half hour or so. The fact that some of the modes like ranked and arcade encourage you to spend lots of time in there to get even more gacha boxes or a stable rank number are motivators too.
It's not like evil or something, but I can't help but point out it's a really well thought out way to keep playing. The shameless event after event they got going on is just on top of it.
I love Overwatch, and I really don't think Blizz is like some evil dudes about stuff like this. Heinous i sa bad word to describe it I guess. They just have a history of really knowing how to use player psych to keep people in their games.

I played it quite a bit at the start but when comp came I stopped. People take it too seriously and forget that it's just a game imo.
I on the other hand had enough after 30ish hours. It's fun for a while but once team composition and tryhardism comes in it gets boring, as expected from a character-based game with 25 characters and no way to alter them.
Imagine League of Legends with no resource management, no items, no customization and 10% of its roster.
No interest in repeating the same shallow ARAM matches over and over but to each their own.

No relevance? lmao, the fact that it has counters to your complaints is actually 100% relevant as it makes them moot.
Also you're factually wrong about the hitboxes not being improved, you can watch comparison videos and read the official patch notes if you'd like.
And I'd ask for proof about the masters claim but I know it would be in vain.
oh just noticed the lag indicator reply, uh I'm sure anyone can do that with ease lmao. Do you live in Antarctica by chance?

I've got this feeling with Breath of the Wild. Barely played anything else for 2 months.
Theres 2 wallhack abilities and one auto aim ulti. Wow. If you can press q to kill the entire enemy team then that team is just bad.
I wasnt in love with the game the first time I played it either. I was actually on team Battleborn for a bit (gasp). I think its one of those games where the more you play it you realize how deep the rabbit hole goes. The staying power of the game for me has been the trickle of new content and a solid group of friends playing the game.

Because it's not a chemical addiction like drugs or booze. It's a psychological addiction like gambling, weed or shopping.
