Blizzard pt. 2: The Future

Image
              Alright, howdy howdy howdy . How is everyone? Welcome to my part two of Blizzard releated things. I’m not even sure what this is going to be about yet, for the most part it looks like things I’d like to see Blizzard do. Ubisoft and Blizzard seem to be in relatively similar situations. Both have been making unfavorable decisions as far as us consumers are concerned and both have been having troubles within their offices. Ubisoft, at least, seems to finally be doing some damage control. They’ve postponed GRiF (Ghost Recon Frontline, I was actually pretty okay with it for once but it just goes to show that I’m typically on the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to most things) after all the backlash and supposedly they are now working on a real Splinter Cell . Not a VR game, not a mobile game, a traditional video game from what I’ve heard anyways. So what exactly is Blizzard up to? All I really know is they’re working on Diablo 4, Overwatch 2 maybe? Whatever that’s

Blizzard pt. 1: Heroes of the Storm

              Hello. I was pretty sure I already ranted about this before; I know I did over on Rooster Teeth before they broke their website for the final time but all my post got sent to the void with their update. This might be part one of a two or three part rant towards Blizzard. Blizzard was another company, like Ubisoft, I held in high regard growing up and they just seem to be a shell of their former selves. So now I have to find all these YouTube videos again to explain my points, ffs. Alright, let’s do this again, I’ll try to be as coherent as possible.             So, the subject for this blog is Heroes of the Storm. I really enjoyed HotS when it started. I also wouldn’t mind playing it now from time to time. I can, for the most part, ignore parts of the game that irk me because most of the reasons are quite arbitrary. I’ll explain as I go but, from the beginning; Heroes of the Storm is a MOBA by Blizzard where they use characters from their franchises, mostly being Wa

Wish List 2021

            Hello hello, it’s that time of year again, I’m very excited! I love making dream lists. I don’t know why. In the grand scheme of things my wishes are pretty shit and developers usually put out something that I never could have thought of but it’s the perfect time for a list like this. It’s not quite the holidays so something could pop up and surprise us.             So let’s go through some of my previous wants. There’s still no news on a new Mario Kart, no Monster Hunter 2D fighter, we did get Monster Hunter Rise on Switch and a new style Pokemon coming soon, no Nintendo X Sega Smash, no Marathon reboot and no word of a third person Girls’ Frontline like shooter. I’ll talk more about some of those later, into the new wants! I first read about Dragon Commander in a very small segment in an issue of PC Gamer years and years ago. Seriously, it was on the side of the page and I don’t even think it was a whole paragraph long, but it had the words “dragon” and “jetpack” an

Girls' Fron... Ghost RECON Frontline

              Well well well, look what Ubisoft did. Gave me a reason to write about Ghost Recon some more. Ghost Recon Frontline (Girls’ Frontline, Ghost Recon Frontline, couldn’t have thought of something else? I swear companies do this on purpose or like, they try to use similar words to confuse people or maybe to get them to want to buy their game because the wording is similar? Doom ETERNAL, Halo INFINTE. What was the old one everyone was using? Revelations? Anyways.) is an upcoming free-to-play battle royale type game set in the Ghost Recon setting. Supposedly it’s supposed to have other modes but we’ll see, maybe, because everybody is fucking HATING this. I understand where they’re coming from but I’m actually optimistic about Frontline.             So why am I optimistic? A few reasons, one being that it seems similar to Future Soldier’s multiplayer. There are points on the map where you gather intel and such and the goal is to call for extraction and get off the island.

Venom 2 and No Way Home Speculations

              Hello hello! I’m writing about the Marvel movies today. I don’t think I’ve really done anything movie related since my first post (EDIT: Oh I did do something on Pirates of the Caribbean , I forgot.) but I just saw Venom (Let There Be Carnage) and that post credit scene was better than the whole movie but what does it mean? If you haven’t seen it or don’t know yet Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock gets brought into the MCU by what is most likely due to Dr. Strange’s spell in the upcoming No Way Home. But that coupled with the Spider-Man trailer bring up lots of questions. I’d rather be playing Horizon Zero Dawn right now but I’m gonna try to hammer this out.             So I’ll just start with the end of Venom. Eddie is brought into the MCU, who else from this ‘verse is? Is anyone? Just him? Is his not girlfriend here? The MCU is having enough issues with half of the population coming back from being snapped, I don’t think they’d fair to well with a whole other planet worth of
