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.
We have been keeping an eye on the game Miasma Chronicles from the creators of Mutant Year Zero for a while now. We now know when it will be released, and it will be on May 23, 2023, on the PS5.
Being outnumbered all the time, mastering the art of the ambush will be crucial to surviving, and whatever advantage you can get will be needed. You can view a different, more condensed glimpse of gaming above and below.
How do you feel about the Miasma Chronicles? You played Mutant Year Zero, right?
Fans of Final Fantasy have been disputing for decades over a variety of topics, such as whether game VIII is the finest or which one contains the best minigames. But something fresh has the community in a tizzy, and this time it’s a 19-second trailer for the upcoming Final Fantasy XVI that’s energizing fans along with the reappearance of certain well-worn and recognizable talking points.

If it weren’t for the fissure that protagonist Clive skillfully navigates in the video, this narrative might have been about Torgal, a great canine companion. That’s right, we have returned to the discussion of the Squeeze Gap, the most heinous error in game design (in the eyes of some fans).
Others pointed out that you can see through the gap that this is an intentional design choice and does not, in fact, hide a loading screen. In the colorful comments section of the aforementioned Tweet, some people complained about the inclusion of yet another Squeeze Gap on current-gen PCs.If you have nothing better to do, follow us down the rabbit hole of quote-retweets.
Sincerity be damned, we don’t really care either way, but it is odd for Square Enix to release an official promo for a highly anticipated game that shows half of a character squirming through a small space.As always, the music is spot on; praise where praise is due. On June 22, Final Fantasy XVI will debut for PlayStation 5.
What do you think of the squeeze gaps generally and the squeezegate incident specifically?
In order to decide which publisher published the best games, Metacritic calculates ratings for all the games that were released in the previous calendar year. The website that collects review ratings for all popular media has done the math, and Sony Interactive Entertainment came out on top for 2022.
Yes, Sony’s first-party initiatives from the previous year allowed it to “no issue” claim the top spot on Metacritic’s list. The 2022 release schedule for the platform holder averaged 85.6 points overall, with all of its PC ports scoring in the website’s “green score” range.
The business did indeed have a successful year in 2017. We had a fantastic trio of original games: God of War Ragnarok, Gran Turismo 7, and Horizon Forbidden West, all of which were of very high caliber. But in addition to that, the firm also launched The Last of Us: Part I and a number of PC ports, including God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and Uncharted: The Legacy of Thieves Collection, all of which received positive reviews from critics. MLB The Show 22 had the lowest metascore of any Sony game last year, according to Metacritic, but it still earned a respectable 77.
According to Metacritic, these are the top 10 publishers for 2022:
- Sony Interactive Entertainment
- Paradox Interactive
- Activision Blizzard
- Focus Entertainment
- Take-Two Interactive
- Capcom
- SEGA
- Annapurna Interactive
- Humble Games
- Devolver Digital
