I’m sorry Blizzard but the Overwatch gameplay was awful
I’ve just stopped watching the Overwatch gameplay stream and I have to say I feel like everything in this game is not as expected. I hope people don’t get me wrong, I love Blizzard, I love all their games, but this is not a competitive FPS game. Blizzard, you know that you are one of the best game providers and every game you roll out of your gates is going to be a success, so why did you change the idea of a FPS so much?
There are four reasons why this game is not going to have a strong FPS competitive scene, from my point of view.
First of all, you can change characters in-game while you are playing. This is like playing a RPG and if you can’t kill someone you will change your class and everything will be fine. Where will the players that try by any means necessary to kill the opponent be? In DOTA you have a counter for every hero, you don’t see players picking other heroes so they can manage to get a kill. You have to try harder until you can make it happen, with your team’s help or solo and it doesn’t look like Overwatch is a solo type of game, you get to play with five other people, which brings me to the second problem.
Does it really have to be six players? Really? You couldn’t stick to five players, like every other FPS competitive game has? It’s like you want people to not be able to find a team and play. It’s hard enough for new teams to leave a mark on the competitive scene already. It is not easy to get four other players who want to play this game as much as you and who can connect with each other, you just had to ruin this as well.
Of course teams like Dignitas, Fnatic, EG, etc. will easily find 6 players, because they can and if you get into one of those teams you know you can do something out of this game, but what is the average player’s chance to get in one of those teams? Unfortunately, it only makes it harder for new teams which will rise once in a hundred years.
The third problem is about picking the same hero in the same team, so you can have six Winston’s in a team or six whatever character. Like that, you should’ve just put four classes and that’s it, why did you create so many heroes then? I understand the concept of mirror heroes, but in opposite teams not in the same team.
And the last problem I have with this game and probably the biggest, is the scoring system, about which I wrote a couple of days back in an article about Overwatch removing the scoring system and making it like Heroes of the Storm. Yes, in Heroes of the Storm that idea is ok, not perfect, but ok. Yet, in an FPS you can’t do that, people won’t try to get better now or to get kills to prove themselves. People will only play for fun and that’s about it, no competitiveness at all. Face it, you either win and you’re a winner or you lose and you’re a loser, things like this makes a person better. It feels like you are trying to give that American type of vibe that nobody will be left behind, it’s like that episode from South Park ‘Sarcastaball’.
All in all, Blizzard should consider some big changes in order to make Overwatch a competitive FPS game, not a game for spoiled little brats who don’t want to get their feelings hurt. Overall I am still expecting to enter the beta stages of Overwatch but I’m not as excited as I used to be.
Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.
According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.
He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.
Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

The developer of Stellar Blade for the PS5 Expressing gratitude to the fans for their unwavering support amidst a recent controversy surrounding censorship
Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.
The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.
Thanks to all our Stellar Blade fans for your passion & feedback. Stay tuned for updates🤍 pic.twitter.com/jCRzM4OQBS

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes. If you want to get a sneak peek at all of Eve’s different outfits and learn how to unlock them, be sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide, All Outfits and How to Get Them.
It’s quite possible. Fans all over the world are interested in Shift Up’s highly anticipated action-adventure game, Stellar Blade. With its captivating post-apocalyptic setting reminiscent of Nier and a compelling protagonist named Eve, it’s no wonder the game has generated such widespread attention.
The game consistently impresses with its stunning visuals and high-octane action, leaving players in awe with each new trailer.
Yet, just like other noteworthy second-party and third-party game releases, fans are pondering: Will Stellar Blade be available on PC?
In this article, we delve into the details to determine the platform availability of the highly anticipated title.
Will Stellar Blade be available on PC? Allow me to provide you with the answer.
Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.
Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.
In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.
Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.
It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.
However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
