What annoys me is when Microsoft or Activision buy up the premium slots and then have jack shit to fill them with along with the big publishers stringing out their premium presentations to also fill up the time. E3 was only interested in taking the money that way rather than strategically designing their show to make it as appealing as possible and maximising exposure to games and developers. I used to get bored even watching the highlights because they were still riddled with painful filler. Despite opening to the general public for the first time ever either last year or the one before, the event was always built for the mainstream media rather than gamers. IGN would never get that many clicks on a promising indie game over yet another AAA franchise release and E3 was always about the money even if they were showcasing crap and thin air.

I'm probably going to hold off too. Doom next week, Resident Evil 3 next month and then Wasteland 3.

Ends 20th of March then it goes back up to £50. So tempted to grab it but with Doom next week, I'm not sure if I can manage both plus that'll be £75 on top of an expensive April of games too.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has been diagnosed with Covid 19. Whole team and all staff now in isolation. Not sure what this will mean for the Prem and football league fixtures but football and other major sport events are very high risk and I would pull the plug for two weeks at least now.

Theoretically we should be but when we keep letting in flights from extreme-risk countries with people not even being tested then we just shoot ourselves in the foot with some staggering incompetence. 17 flights from Milan alone landed on Sunday with no testing either end. The government said they told people to self isolate but numerous people returning weren’t told anything. it’s also staggering that we aren’t enforcing stronger measures unlike other countries now. Italy and China have reported minimal new cases after strong lockdowns yet our country is working on slowing the growth down so we can get to summer where the NHS will be less strained. Screw growth - the focus should be eradication. I’d rather the economy took a savage two week hit now than us trying to keep things going as they are and still being economically fucked in the end regardless. Also the confirmed cases are just those that have been recorded by the NHS after a confirmed diagnosis - the real total is probably 10x that at the very least. The low deaths as tragic as they may be for everyone is a surprise though but things could change especially if we continue to be reckless with some things.

A lot of Overwatch fans were becoming tired of the lore being manufactured in the way it was especially when Blizzard were catering more to the PR side and people that didn't even own the game. Many users were even predicting the direction things would take and it was clear a lot of it was forced by the top. Whenever sales began to stall, the game would have a free weekend, Activision would remind everyone that they have '45m+ players worldwide' and the lore side would have some weird sexuality-focused twist for maximum media effect. Flexibility in the writing was diminished and instead of having a flourishing varied narrative over the years, the brand then became reliant on occasional samey plot events to grab publicity. I'm just wondering if the writer has left suddenly because his creative work has been once again diminished. I can't fault their production quality but it's clear the longer this game has existed, the more it's tried to stay relevant and that has impacted the quality and consistency of the writing side.

Overwatch 2's lead writer has just left Blizzard. Probably got fed up of having to make all his characters gay just to sell a few extra copies when sales started stalling. Could be a bit of a blow to the fiction-side of the game as that's a huge part of the brand. He had 20 years with the company too.

Coming to Steam on Friday for £25/$30. Existing owners on Xbox and through the Microsoft Store receive this as a free update. Apparently this game has had a lot of work done so I may check it out. You can even try it on the game pass.

I'm probably not going to bother with it. I've watched quite a few gameplay videos and there is nothing that truly stands out. The map looks massive but rather mediocre and I didn't enjoy any of it when playing Spec Ops. Blackout looks way better. IW who couldn't even handle the base game now have to support both this and the multiplayer portion so parts of the product is going to be neglected and I fear the MP is going to be shunned heavily in return for BR money. -
I think it'll do well particularly in Asia but I am very surprised at how unoriginal it is coming from Riot. That could put off quite a lot of European and American users especially as they've played this type of game for many years now. It's a very crowded market and many F2P games have been DOA or on life support very early on in recent years so even with proven developers, it still isn't a guaranteed bet.

I can't see Overwatch 2 being anywhere near as popular or successful as the original. Its market presence has really faded in the last couple of years and player interest has declined massively. I think the sequel will be used more to integrate lore into the game, told through generic missions. New maps, modes, heroes too but probably nothing to justify paying another £50/$60 for. I think they would have been better making old-school expansions to bulk up the original as the games and brand are going to be detached. I really hope the story mode is fully fleshed out as that really is the seller here but if it's just generic walk-through missions on multiplayer maps with survival/horde style gameplay then it'll begin to feel like a cash grab.
