Overwatch and Pokemon Go
9 years ago
Yes I've been a lot of Overwatch lately, on the days I'm not on Steam sometimes, which I love the game and how much it's better than it was in the beta and even more fun with friends I've met through the game. But I can't/won't really go back to playing Battleborn or a while I guess. I loved that game as much as I do Overwatch but when you lose a lot of your progress that wasn't you're fault. Then it's a little bit hard to look at any game the same way. But Love the game even in some of it's flaws of the competition and having to add people just to have them join your group sort of thing. I have met a lot of cool guys because of it so if you have the game and have PSN feel free to add me and group up sometime. Only reason I've been playing it a lot specifically competition since of the Pre Season and the golden Weapons I'm going to try and get for Junkrat and maybe Roadhog. Yes they are my favorites to use among others that I can handle with ease.
Cons would have to be that will be fixed is, multiple heros. Which is pretty annoying even in Quick Play or more in Competition that they'll be fixing soon enough so that's all good. The no mic-ers which is "always fun" when you have one of them in your party. Or even the "no" mic-ers that only turn on their mics sometimes and they don't really have an excuse to not have it on. And one of the reasons I hate the second one even more because I got chewed out by a Mercy! He had his mic off wasn't even trying to contribute to helping a Junkrat that was getting cluster fucked by Two Meis'! So that was so much fun. To tho point he chewed me out and acted like I wasn't doing anything to help when I needed help. Good news we won the match and I was Mercy for the Sudden Death. Doesn't help my friend's mic died before the match started so.... Yay. Other than that of cons would be Spawn Camping, which already in a Nutshell is the rival team or yours getting prepared and just wanting to have fun. Rewards system with the points and ranking up and down which they are going to fix too and even the Lootboxes that are payable just because. Well they have to make more money one way or another I guess so onto Pokemon
Now onto Poke'mon Go and my thoughts about it, I don't really mind it. I'll just put it off as that it's a 50/50 between loving how it is and stuff about it. I don't mind the picture taking, throwing balls and other things even hatching your eggs and using your car is a bit of a cheat sheet of getting around from place to place, even a bike works too. I'm just the old fashioned kind that I'd rather battle like I did in the games and have fun like that then just encounter, throw a ball, get candy once captured and that's it. Except being Rank 5 for Gym Battles and taking it over and leaving poke'mon to protect it while you're gone. Going to poke'stops such as monuments or churches which I find at least a bit neat with the GPS and such, but I am playing it again to see if there's something I'm not seeing or if it's just the hype of it being on the phone.
Pokemon Go Cons: I don't really care for some of the Freemium stuff about it just to progress the game faster like any other game. Reminds me of the poke'stores but on the bright side with the stops you can go back 5 minutes later just to get another spin. The hype is a bit of a con when you think of it and just some of the crazy things like the app says, "Be aware of your surroundings" and if half of the stories that went on are true or false. DON'T BE AN IDIOT AND PLAY IT WHILE DRIVING OR NOT USE YOUR COMMON SENSE! But hopefully they flesh out some of the bad stuff that can be fixed like the battery issue of it draining it faster than any other app normally does including data too.

And I think the little "beware of your surroundings" message is simply to protect the company from claims being made against them through human idiocy.. a lot of people have wanted to hold the game and it's creators liable for morons falling off cliffs, or running in front of a car, or like one person that threw their actual phone at the pokemon instead of a pokeball... I think that part is stupid too, people are just using the game as a blame card for crap they'd have done normally too.
Yeah, people need to use a little more common sense just in general, nevermind with just the app. Pulling over into a parking lot is a great idea, and my husband and I end up doing that often, or I'll catch while he focuses on driving. Sadly, some people try and pull over on the side of the interstate and such.. which isn't allowed unless it's an emergency, but again.. common sense, lol.

As for the freaking freezes and shit.. yeah can just hope they get that fixed and that idiots will stop DDOS attacking the servers and making it bad for the rest of us. :( I lost a Fearow like that today and a high CP Golbat a few days ago.
