The update also brings Capture the Rooster, Overwatch's version of Capture the Flag, to Arcade as an ongoing mode. Additionally, Capture the Rooster versions of Nepal, Lijiang Tower, Ilios, and Oasis have been added, giving you 12 m
Finally, this is the month PlayStation Vita lands in North America. Uncharted: Golden Abyss and Lumines: Electronic Symphony are both calling to me, but it's WipEout 2048 that will likely sell me on the sys
SEASON 3 COMPETITIVE PLAY Competitive Play's second season will end on November 23 at 4PM PDT (November 24 at 0:00 UTC), and the third season will begin on November 30 at 4PM PDT (December 1 at 0:00 UTC). During the week-long off season, you'll still be able to queue for matches using the Competitive Play ruleset, but your skill rating will not be affected and no Competitive Points will be awarded. We've also made a few adjustments to the skill rating system for season 3. Players will be distributed more broadly across the skill tiers, which means that your season 3 rating will probably be lower than the previous sea
Billed as an explosive finale to Rocksteady Studios' Batman: Arkham trilogy, Batman: Arkham Knight has been making the headlines for all of the wrong reasons these past few weeks. The game worked fine on consoles, but on PC it was an entirely different story. Immediately upon launch, PC Arkham Knight players began to report huge framerate issues that persisted whenever Batman mo
One of Hanzo's most useful attributes in Overwatch is the fact that he doesn't need to reload. He can use an infinite amount of arrows in a match and never has to worry about stopping to reload. The tradeoff for this is that he has to pull the arrow back in order to increase its power, which slows his movement speed down to a crawl. A fully charged Hanzo arrow is a deadly thing, however, as a headshot from it can kill most characters in a single
As for more current titles, I'm looking forward to Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and SSX . I've been in the market for a new 3DS title, and after checking out the Resident Evil: Revelations demo, I think that might be it. Though I'm more of a Metal Gear fan than a RE one, so I may end up getting Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D inst
Orisa is the newest hero to reach the Overwatch world, but many consider her to be too weak. It's still a bit early to determine how effective her kit is, but general fan perception is that she's under-powered. If Blizzard was trying to break the mold with Sombra, they did the exact opposite with Or
In first-person shooters, the only one who loves snipers is the person playing the sniper. Everyone else in the game will despise them, for their ability to instantly kill a foe from long distances. This anger has spread to Hanzo from Overwatch , who has inspired a hatedom that far outstrips the love that the players who main him feel. There is no denying that Hanzo is a difficult character to master and can be unfairly powerful in the hands of the right player. Is that really enough of a reason to hate a character? Because he rewards skill and dedication? It seems so, as we will see many times over on this l
Allows players to adjust targeting sensitivity on Mercy’s Caduceus Staff beams
Developer Comments: Mercy’s Resurrect has always been very powerful, but it often forces her to sacrifice herself to use it well. There have been changes in the past that attempted to help her in this area, but haven’t done enough to solve it. This change means that once she uses the ability, she will always survive long enough to be with her team ag
This problem is particularly noticeable on console. No one disagrees that aiming is much easier on PC. This makes console Windowmaker players need even more skill to be effective. On top of that, a skilled Winston or D.Va on the enemy team can counter Widowmaker players more often than not. For these reasons, Widowmaker finds herself near the top of the bottom half. Instead of groaning at Widowmaker picks, most players will simply say, "You better be go
Hanzo's original design was created out of the Overwatch development team's desire to include a ninja character. It was quickly decided that a dual sword/bow user would have lacked focus and may have had too much utility in combat. The decision was made to split Hanzo into two separate characters, with each one focusing on a different wea
Bundle up for a journey to Ecopoint: Antarctica, the former Overwatch installation where climatologist Mei-Ling Zhou was once stationed. While researching severe weather anomalies in the region, the station was hit by an intense polar storm. Running out of options and low on supplies, the team decided to cryogenically freeze themselves until the storm passed. They believed that it would only be for a few months, but Mei awoke nearly a decade la
