As you know here at Mods “R” Us, we are huge fans of Overwatch and the last couple of days there has been some pretty neat Overwatch news and we wanted to talk a little bit about it.
Overwatch Reversing Player BansSome unlucky people have found themselves banned from competitive play even though they did nothing wrong. It has so far affected around 200 Overwatch players, but do not freak out as Blizzard has said it is a small bug and they are on it. Anyone who has been banned during this time is going to be looked after and have their account reinstated. People who had never left a game early or done anything offensive had reported they had been banned from playing! Blizzard then came out and confirmed that it was a bug, well at least we now know they are fixing it.
Cool Overwatch Figures Coming Later This YearWe think the Overwatch Funko Pop figures are awesome. But just recently it was revealed that in October there is going to be a new line of Overwatch figures. These are part of the Cute But Deadly line and they look awesome. They are super cute, but also pretty badass looking. These are going to be blind box mini figures, there is going to be 12 characters in this first series and if you want our opinion, Lucio, D.Va, and McCree are the coolest. We hope that since they are blind boxes that someone figures out what the codes on each box are so we can get the figures we want.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 Beta Thoughts
As Mods “R” Us are very excited for the release of Star Wars Battlefront, today we were lucky enough to be part of the beta on PlayStation 4 and we thought we would share our early thoughts.
First thing, this game is pure eye candy. Having a blaster battle on the streets of Naboo is really breathtaking. The folks at Dice have just done an amazing job. The first Battlefront was already a good looking game and this one here takes it to a whole new level.
There is far more going on with this beta than you would think, even though there is only a couple of different levels to play as and characters to be. We spent most of the time in the Galactic Assault mode where you pick from one of the four classes and either make a charge or defend. It is a lot of fun and a more refined gameplay experience than the first Battlefront.
The other mode that we spent a lot of time in was Arcade. Specifically, the mode where it let us play as Darth Maul and just kick ass! This was a ton of fun and it kind of felt like a horde mode. You just mow down wave after wave of enemies trying to get more time as you do so you can keep on playing. There is also a starfighter mode where you control ships, but we have not spent enough time with that mode to comment just yet.
One thing that Battlefront 2 has is loot boxes and when you first fire up the game you get three. Overwatch made a big deal of loot boxes and it looks like Star Wars Battlefront 2 is going to be doing the same thing. In all, we had a lot of fun playing this for a couple of hours and we look forward to spending more time with it in the coming days.
Today is a sad, but also kind of fun day as you are joining us for our last installment of our Grand Theft Auto retrospective.
Grand Theft Auto V(2013/14/15) Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PCGrand Theft Auto V was a monster of a game. It was far larger in scope than any other GTA game had been before and even now a couple of years later, people are still finding amazing new things in this game.
The story this time around saw you play the role of three different characters. You start off as Franklin a young dude who is just trying to scrape by. He tries to reposes a car from a man called, Michael who is a former career criminal who is trying to lay low after a job went to hell. Michael takes a liking to Franklin and takes him under his wing. Before long a run in with the feds, rival criminals and a whole load of other stuff from the past being brought up. Michael and Franklin cross paths with Trevor a lunatic who once worked with Michael and a guy who hates Michael, but at the same time needs to work with him.
Grand Theft Auto V allows you to switch between all three characters on the fly once they have all been unlocked. You will need to be a certain character to do a certain mission and RockStar created a fantastic story here with three diverse characters that despite their flaws, you care about. As well as a great story, GTA V features a ton of content. There are bank heists, the stock market, scuba diving, base jumping and of course a ton of other things you can run around doing. There was also Grand Theft Auto Online which was an MMO set in the GTA universe and it has built up quite the following.
A year after release, Grand Theft Auto V was released on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in a much higher quality and also a first person mode, a first for the series. The following year, 2015, Grand Theft Auto V was released on PC.
GTA V is regarded as one of the best games ever made. Grand Theft Auto 6 whatever it is, is going to have to be something special to top it.
