Dont scare the guy away

Basically this topic is about giving us a review of the last game you played, what you liked/disliked about it, a basic synopsis of the game's plot and if you would recommend it to others here. I''ll start things off with OverWatch Synopsis: The backstory to Overwatch is described through animated shorts and other information distributed by Blizzard in promoting the game. (Yeah I ripped it from Wikipedia, sue me) Overwatch is set sixty years into the future of fictionalized Earth, thirty years after the resolution of the "Omnic Crisis". Prior the Omnic Crisis, humanity had been in a golden age of prosperity and technology development. Humanity developed robots with artificial intelligence called "omnics" which were produced world-wide in automated "omnium" facilities and put to use to achieve economic equality. The Omnic Crisis began when the omniums started producing a series of lethal, hostile robots, which turned against humanity. The United Nations (UN) quickly formed Overwatch, an international task force to combat the Omnic threat and restore order. Two veteran soldiers were put in charge of Overwatch; Gabriel Reyes and Jack Morrison. Though Overwatch successfully quelled the robotic uprising and brought a number of talented individuals to the forefront, a rift developed between Reyes and Morrison, and Morrison became the de-facto leader of Overwatch while Reyes took charge of Blackwatch, Overwatch's covert operations. Overwatch maintained peace across the world for several decades in what was called the "Overwatch Generation", but the rift between Morrison and Reyes intensified. Several allegations of wrongdoing and failures were leveled at Overwatch, leading to public outcry against the organization and in-fighting between its members, prompting the UN to investigate the situation. During this, an explosion destroyed Overwatch's headquarters, purportedly killing Morrison and Reyes among others. The UN passed the Petras Act, which dismantled Overwatch and forbade any Overwatch-type activity. Overwatch is set some years after the Petras Act; without Overwatch, corporations have started to take over, fighting and terrorism have broken out in parts of the globe, and there are signs of a second Omnic Crisis occurring in Russia. Former members of Overwatch decide to reform Overwatch despite the Petras Act, recruiting old friends and gaining new allies in their fight. Likes: It's Team Fortress 2 but with more personality and a much more enjoyable experience, ALL updates & DLC will be free, the game is balanced right out of the gate due to extensive Beta Testing, Battle.Net support, fun, everyone is unique with little overlap Dislike: Lack of a single player campaign, balancing mechanic still needs work, the "One Strike & You're out" policy in which you cheat you're banned for good (i'm for the policy, but a few people have been innocently banned). Would I recommend? If you love games like these go for it. It's Blizzard so the quality and time have been put into this. It's very good team and battle game with and with Blizzard constantly updating the game it will always feel fresh.

Or, since they did this with Fire & Ice, they are purposely holding off the game until 2017 to make sure it's ready and that all the development on it is complete? The last time they rushed an anniversary game, we got Sonic '06. And I'm pretty sure no one wants that again or anything close to that from Sonic Team ever again. It doesnt show they are incompetent, it shows that they arent rushing the games again to make some sort of special date just for the sake of having it for an anniversary year. Its shows they have learned from their mistakes or at least trying to. Does it suck that we arent getting a "main game" this year? Yes it does but if they pushed it back into 2017 to make sure we have a good quality game then I'm fine with it. Also, they said "No main Sonic game in 2016". They didnt say "No Main Sonic game for the 25th anniversary." So they technically have until June 23rd, 2017 to give us a "Sonic 25th Anniversary Game"

Do it has been confirmed over the weekend that the only Sonic games that will be released in 2016 will be Fire & Ice and Mario & Sonic 2016. The next "main" game will be released in 2017

It's probably what it is.

Welcome to the fold Funnel. Its good that you have joined us

Iizuka: “There Were Elements [Of 2014’s Boom Games] That I Was Not Really Happy With, & We Do Regret That It Got Out There” New Sonic Project Will Start In 2017

No you didnt *wink wink nudge nudge*

You'll see soon enough Ish. I think you'll like what we have in store

Cause I got WWE network again I've been going through a bunch of old PPVs and Raws (mostly the WAR & Attitude Era) I always liked Ken Shamrock's theme

I gave a helping hand with them too. I mostly did the bit about site background and the improvements. RedAuthar and I have been hard at work improving this place for you guys. We do it for you guys

Very thorough newsletter. It really does highlight what we have done in the past few weeks in the "Beta stages" of the Site. Now we're live I have to ask our users to please spread the word as best as you can of the site. It would really mean a lot to us.

This is one console I wish I owned as a kid. There were a lot of good games on this system and it was considered one of the best for its time. Controller was whacky though I mean I guess I can download some of the games from the WiiU Virtual Console but it's not the same.

@F07E Keep these coming man these are excellent.

I'm really interested in this film. I have yet to see it but I heard a bunch of really good things about it. I first saw the trailer before the Force Awakens. A lot of the people in crowd werent to thrilled about the trailer at first and started boing it, mainly because it was like the 9th trailer in a row. But it got people laughing especially with the Sloths.

Alright, expand on that: What was her role with the Special Forces, How did she earn Max's trust and how could Rosie keep them safe and secure for so long?

I see it as a part of the problem. I just havent been able to take him seriously in a while. Having him Win and lose is a good thing it shows that he can win but he can lose. He's not invincible but not fully vulnerable. But this needs to be expanded a lot more

One of the trailers appeared to show the Arabian Front where they were on Horseback trying to stop a weapons shipment via train. This was one of the many tactics T.E. Lawrence, better known as Lawrence of Arabia, used in the war. I wanna know if a part of the campaign you play with him or as him? Cause that would be excellent. I wanna know if famous figures such as General Pershing or The Red Baron will be in the game. There's a ton of potential in this and I'm really looking forward to this. The consumers want to go back to the World War games and I feel like this could be a start. Maybe 3-4 years from now Dice may give us a WW2 game again.

3. It's clearly not the best romantic relationship, but I kinda doubt we can call it that. Has there really been a mention or reference to this after the episode aired? I think if they gave a bit more time to even try to flesh this out we could have something partially decent than what we've had in awhile. I liked the concept of the episode and I think the episode was decent to say the least but one thing i've noticed is that they do episodes like this and then completely forget about it the very next episode. I understand the show is supposed to be like this but I feel some since of development should be in order and given this episode was the perfect way to do so but nothing came up of it. 5. Actually she was supposed to have a major role in Rise of Lyric, they even found audio files for her. She could have had a very good role in Sonic Boom but I dont know why plans changed.

To Revive this topic I pose the question from Blast to the Past: Why was Rosie in the bowels of Robotnik's lair looking for the kids? And better yet, how did she get there going undetected until Sonic and Sally ran into her?

Each Version of Sonic in a TV/Anime has been different, so I think this was an attempt to make a new version of Sonic with very little success. Sometimes I wonder if SEGA was planning on making Sonic become this way in the games but seeing the reception of this Sonic and got cold feet instead. Part of me thinks this is to make this Sonic different from the rest, which is a bigger issue on itself.
