I remember playing great Blizzard games. Activision Blizzard games less so. I guess SC2 and Overwatch were pretty ok.
Activision Blizzard never had any magic in my mind.
- theandrewbailey 5y agoEven before the merge, I can't think of any Activision game that I genuinely loved and immersed myself in. Hard to do that with shallow movie tie-in games and I never cared for Call of Duty. I loved Blizzard's games though.
- saithir 5y agoAs they're mostly a publisher, you probably don't associate them with any, but they did publish well-received things like old Mechwarrior games, Tony Hawk series and even Quake 2 and 3 for example.
- throwaway946513 5y agoI enjoyed the old PS2 Call of Duty games as a kid, and sometimes go back for the sake of nostalgia. Overwatch is decent enough to play with friends once a week or two. Otherwise, Activision has been quite far from my taste of games.
- Ekaros 5y ago1990s don't seem so bad. Quake II, Zork, MechWarrior, Battlezone, Heavy Gear...
- namelessoracle 5y agoYeah im trying to think of ANYTHING Activision Blizzard has put out sense merger that has captured the popular imagination. All their big ips were pre merger. Overwatch maybe?
- PetitPrince 5y agoDestiny?
- drost 5y agoDoes Destiny count? Wasn't Activision just the publisher, but Bungie did the ideation and development?
- namelessoracle 5y agoNot only that, but I think it went out before Activation merged with Blizzard, same deal with CoD. I was referring to post merger IPs and products
- throwaway946513 5y agoLest we forget, Call of Duty still tops charts in sales every time due to the popularity among middle and high school students. Even though older people may not enjoy or desire to play the 'innovative' games, the rehash games are still enjoyed by the masses.
- pharmakom 5y agoSC2 was amazing. I think the expansions killed it for multiplayer. They should have made them single player only, maybe with some exclusive cosmetic items for multiplayer.
- horsawlarway 5y agoThe game itself was decent. The framework around it was a tremendous step backwards in every way. I'd take the version of BattleNet from WC3 in a heartbeat over the current iteration - the current version is a soulless money grab.
- tdsamardzhiev 5y agoIt has less hackers, I'd give it that. But yeah, in every other conceivable way the old BNET was miles ahead.
- vb6sp6 5y agoWarzone was really good for a minute. But they failed to address the hackers and the pay2win got really obvious after a while.
