No Fun PvE for Overwatch 2

May 30, 2023May 28, 2023 Medic 0 Comments overwatch, overwatch 2

I’m a very casual player when it comes to Overwatch 2. I occasionally play along with my boyfriend, who is much better than me. Of course, I play as a support character, because that’s what I’m best at. But I’m not really a huge fan of the PvP stuff. I much prefer cooperative game modes. Now, back before Overwatch 2 existed, we were told that Overwatch 1 would have something more PvE-oriented. There were plans to have a whole cooperative game mode, complete with skill trees and fancy things like that. This was back in 2019, which feels like forever… [Continue Reading]

On Playing Overwatch 2

April 9, 2023March 27, 2023 Medic 2 Comments overwatch, overwatch 2, ow

Despite my boyfriend and I both being gamers (him more so than me), we actually don’t play much in common. He’s a Playstation player while I’ve been playing on PC for a good decade now. Ideally we both need something that has crossplay. So, early on, we decided to play Overwatch 2 together. It’s currently free and it’s got crossplay, so it seemed like a good idea. Brain Pain Now, long-time readers might know that I had a problem with Overwatch 1. It used to give me horrible headaches whenever I played for more than 20 minutes. I did enjoy… [Continue Reading]

On Playing Mercy

February 7, 2023January 26, 2023 Medic 0 Comments medic, mercy, overwatch, overwatch 2

The other day, I was playing Overwatch 2 with the boyfriend, and I decided to play Mercy for a change. Normally I play Lucio with a bit of Moira depending on my mood, but I thought it’d be good to give Mercy another try. After all, Mercy has changed a lot since I played her back in the now defunct Overwatch 1. Did I enjoy playing Mercy? Not really. I was doing basically nothing but healing. Considering that Mercy has two forms of magical beam energy in her staff, I never really had a chance to use the damage-boosting beam.… [Continue Reading]

Everyone Else Takes Ages To Die

November 5, 2022October 28, 2022 Medic 0 Comments overwatch, overwatch 2

While playing Overwatch, I noticed that I am pretty much always the first to die. I die super fast and generally from behind. There is so much going on that I can’t tell where all this damage is coming from. A lot of this is just basic newbie stuff. After all, there are 30 characters which I need to learn to recognise. I’m a brand new player and not overly good at FPS games in general. However, what I can’t seem to shake is just how long it takes for me to kill someone. Everyone else doesn’t die instantly like… [Continue Reading]

Team Fortress 2 – A Game Without much of a Grind

November 2, 2022October 25, 2022 Medic 0 Comments grind, overwatch 2, Team Fortress 2

The other day, I was browsing through my Team Fortress 2 inventory, which is really a relic of history these days, since I don’t play any more. As I looked at them, I realized something odd. I never had to grind to get those items. I either traded for them, they were given to me or I got them as a random drop. Almost all weapons are basically random drops these days, although most cosmetic items are generally paid for, either via trades or from keys spent and used on crates. While looking at my backpack, I came to a… [Continue Reading]

A Brief Glance at Overwatch 2

October 29, 2022October 22, 2022 Medic 0 Comments overwatch, overwatch 2

You know what? Overwatch 2 is alright. I actually jumped into a few casual matches the other day with my boyfriend, and it was pretty fun. If a bit laggy. However, it’s definitely not perfect. Mostly just better than I expected. Starting fresh Since this was jumping in to Overwatch for the first time in years, I realised that I am starting from scratch. I have a limited pool of heroes, and a free season pass I definitely won’t finish. It kinda reminds me of playing League of Legends a little, especially with the ton of new heroes that have… [Continue Reading]
