While we’re all enjoying playing Overwatch 2, it seems Blizzard is still struggling with certain aspects of the game, balance primarily. Sometimes it’s a particular Hero, other times it’s a map, and on some occasions, it’s an entire game mode. When it’s not balancing issues, it’s the in-game store, which either pushes you to spend real money, or doesn’t give you cosmetics you’ve owned since 2016. The cherry on top, however, is a legal matter between Activision-Blizzard and the US Department of Just
I also finally understand why people give a shit about these characters beyond their battle abilities . I feel a kinship with Junkrat. He’s a wildcard, like Charlie in Always Sunny. He’s just a silly little guy, and I love him for it. I’m going to read up on his story before I dive back in tonight – I never thought I’d do that for any hero shooter. I couldn’t even count how many heroes there were, and Junkrat has made me hopeful I’ll find more I love, but if I don’t, I’ll happily main this wacky pyromaniac until he runs out of li
In the run-up to the Resident Evil 4 remake, fans have been sharing their favourite Easter Eggs online. The game was full of strange little quirks, both accidental and deliberate. After the mine cart section, there’s a skull which, when interacted with, will give you piles and piles of money. Some claim these are the takings from the enemies slain in the aforementioned cart level, others that the money was there regardless. I’m not sure if it will be back in the remake, but I’m leaning towards ‘no’ – it just seems a bit too silly for games these days to keep
To cap off the week, players don’t seem too happy with the new maps that came along with Overwatch 2, especially those for the Push mode. Many have complained that the maps are too big for the mode , resulting in players having to walk long distances to make it back to the action after getting kil
Mei has recently been pulled from Overwatch 2 for two weeks because players were using her wall to reach places they weren’t meant to. Maybe this is too much to tolerate at the highest competitive levels, but mostly I just think ‘who cares?’. Didn’t they just nerf Mei out of existence anyway? Is it really that big a deal that you can mess around on some m
Overwatch has never been known for its welcoming community. Ever since its launch in 2016, the game has amassed a reputation for having a pretty toxic playerbase, so much so that “Overwatch salt” became a meme in itself. And now with Overwatch 2 going free-to-play, many believe it’s getting even wo
We’re a mix of PC and console players, so having to play in the PC pool means half of us are going to get outclassed in a one on one fight. I tried the new hero Kiriko but couldn’t get the necessary precision down . I did decently with Soldier 76 but found him to be a little bland. I was horrified at the mere sight of Zenyata and Sigma, so steered well clear of them. Seriously, I thought Overwatch was about quirky gay people fighting it out, not hamsters in robotic balls and dudes that can hear the very unive
Each offers skins related to the event, but most importantly, they offer special game modes that last throughout the event. These events are even the reason to return to the game in case you’ve stopped. All that said, which one is the best tho
That was always the draw with the sequel anyway for me. I didn’t see the need to give us a whole new game and I won’t be working towards nor investing in the battle pass. I’m already irritated at the obnoxiously long time it takes to earn enough to buy a single skin. The thought of being able to play a story mode was a major appeal, and even though that was dampened by the news it wouldn’t be ready for launch, all things considered it was enough to hook me back in, at least temporar
I was ready to call it quits and decide that I’d been right, Overwatch simply click the next website wasn’t for me, when I misclicked while swapping heroes and ended up as Junkrat. His opening battle cry, “I’ll keep trying till I run out of limbs!” tickled me immediately. “Plenty of bombs to go around!” is a great one, too. I spent two hours playing as him and had a blast, pun inten
With Overwatch 2, we finally got a new mode with Wrath of The Bride, where we play with Sojourn, Ashe, Junker Queen, and Kiriko as we venture through the map and face new challenges, which is a good refresher for the second-oldest event in the g
“I made a support ticket with [Blizzard] and told them I was missing my [Widowmaker] Noire skin with proof of preorder and old pics,” said one player on Reddit. “All they said was they’re working on it and to check back later. One month later, still missing.” It looks like Blizzard still hasn’t figured out this is
As a result, players are switching off voice and text chat en masse and encouraging others to do the same. In social media posts, Overwatch fans say that not disabling chat can damage your mental health, as toxic players have been spotted getting around Blizzard’s chat filters to use slurs and make threats against oth
