I started playing this game recently. Pretty fun. It feels like TF2 but with less silliness and more insanity!

It is great fun and they do a good job of keeping this fresh with new game modes, maps and being very responsive to contemporary events such a Christmas, the Olympics, the world cup etc.

However... The dark side to Overwatch is the community has a tendency to be by ****ing god toxic, I don't know what it is about these kinds of games that attracts douchebags but there it is, Xbox One has a decent function of group finding but every posting is so ****ing upp its own arse I don't bother.

Yeah, you get that. A lot of time those are 16-year-old boys--or 30-year-old boys--who don't understand basic principles of human interactions.

When I get that **** in any game, I just mute 'em. Their silence is literally better than their childish trolling.

Yeah but man, I remember the Internet Garden of Eden... I remember when Xbox live first came out in 2002, so good back then, everyone was so cool, for awhile we had a great community in Return to Castle Wolftenstein, sometimes we'd create a private match, city in the lobby and watch important sports games and stuff, those were the days.

Til the unwashed masses poured in and "faggot" and "n***er" became synonymous with online play :(

Even to this day, having to mute all still upsets me because I remember those glorious days.
