Overwatch 2 has been out a while now and I will admit, as much as I loved Overwatch, Overwatch 2 has not been as good as I expected it to be. Overwatch 2 has seemed like a reskin of Overwatch with no many changes at all made to the game aside from heroes looking a little better in terms of graphics and a battle pass being added and loot boxes being removed. I feel if Overwatch 2 had been something of a whole new free-to-play game with the same heroes but a lot of changes, I probably would have preferred it. Do you think Blizzard could have done more to make Overwatch 2 fresh?

For a while now there have been rumours that we will be seeing a Fortnite X Lego collaboration but so far, we had not heard anything up until now. Now we are hearing that the Fortnite X Lego collaboration will be coming to Fortnite on November 6th 2023 and we will be seeing an update so big that Lego may just take over the season. We will definitely either be seeing a premium battle pass containing Lego items or even a mini battle pass that we have seen previously with the Star Wars mini battle pass and also the recent Jujutsu Kaisen mini battle pass we have just had as well. Are you interested in seeing a Lego collaboration come to Fortnite? You can read more about this collaboration here

If you are a gamer who has played a Call of Duty game or maybe you play each game as it releases, you will know that for years now we have seen a new Call of Duty game release each year and a lot of the time, aside from a few changes and a name change and different developers being involved, a lot of the time yearly releases don't always tend to bring fresh new things to the game to keep people wanting to play. Do you feel yearly Call of Duty releases are now ruining the franchise?

The trailer for Modern Warfare 3 (2023) was released on the 17th August 2023 and so far it has received mixed reviews from video gamers. We already know that Modern Warfare 3 (2023) is a direct sequel to Modern Warfare 2 (2022) and that we will also be seeing zombies back in Modern Warfare 3. You can see the trailer below! What are your thoughts on the trailer and the next instalment in the Call of Duty Franchise being Modern Warfare 3?

Not too far away then, it may be something I will check out on phone but again, I feel with the smaller screen it could be an issue if I am honest and may be something I may not like playing on mobile. There are many who tend to play on mobile who play in tournaments and as pro as well so I am sure they will be excited for this.

It really is. I will admit that I don't myself find it easy to play things like PUBG or even Fortnite on phone as I feel the screen to be too small to use with the touch screen but some games are great played on mobile.

I guess it is great that there is the option of mobile gaming as well for instances such as your PC dying on you or even not having access to a console. A lot of the games available now are a lot of fun and also work really well on phone meaning you can play most games you would play or similar on console and PC on your phone now as well.

How far off is the mobile version of Warzone? I know it's getting close unless I am mistaken myself. Team Deathmatch is also the one I played the most on Call of Duty Mobile and the one I have most fun on as well. Haven't jumped into the battle royale on it but that is because I have always seen Call of Duty as a run and gun more than a battle royale.

Messing with any company as big as Nintendo is something I would definitely steer clear of without even any hesitation. It's a shame they took the punishment this far as like I said, something a lot smaller would have been the better option but they went with the full wrath to prove a point, it will have definitely scared others but for this instance, that is something that is going to mean someone has to pay for the rest of their life.

It completely baffles me. In most cases you would think it would be due to competition but competition for what, they create games and you create a drink, why the issue with the use of the word Monster because it's the name of your popular drink. I feel a lot of the time, companies like this try to get greedy and when they do, they start to take advantage and we get this abuse of trademarks.

Oh for sure! If the game is done and developed right and they get it right I see this being a huge success! With so many Harry Potter fans that are gamers but also with the potential to bring people who don't play games to often to the game if they are Harry Potter fans, there is high hope for this game and I only hope they get it right.

I often wonder what goes through the minds of people who feel they can take something and copy it with a crappy remake so to speak and then call it their own game. Unfortunately, I feel as though at least now many people will keep trying this exact same thing, especially for a game that has a lot of success hoping to branch off that success themselves. Good for Sony on taking that down when they did.

I can fully see why this character would be one that you find most encouraging. It's not too often you see people that are willing to jump into danger to help others or for a good cause so it is always good to see things like video game characters that do that as it can give you the inspiration to want to also be just like them.

This is true and a lot of game developers tend to add it but make it so small or in a place it can't always be easily found and not every gamer tends to see it. Of course, due to it being there in the game that covers them but I do feel more should be done to ensure that developers do end up facing some kind of penalization if someone ends up having some kind of seizure from the game and the warning was too small or not in a place that could be easily seen.

Mario is definitely one of the ones that I associate most as a mascot but Sonic is very much up there in as you said the top 5. When I think of gaming and gaming mascots, the first two I always think of are Mario and Sonic and then after that ones like Crash Bandicoot, Waluigi and such. I believe if you are more of a fan of Sonic over Mario you will be more biased but the same thing can be said about someone who prefers Mario over Sonic 🙂

Coming back to this thread after a little while and I do have something to add about water and as a gamer feeling claustrophobic. In Fortnite we now see instances where you can actually drown in the game if you get stuck under something whilst in the water, I knew this was possible but didn't realize just how realistic it seems and panic definitely ensues when that happens for me in game LOL

Have to admit, the live side of TikTok now is getting worse with drama and also I am starting to see more NPC live streams popping up as well which seems to be making people a lot of money. It's a shame that we are not seeing more professional content creators on the platform as I feel TikTok could have done with that. I tend to avoid the live side of TikTok unless I know someone is live I would be interested in.

It was a shame that this game ended up being such a flop if I am honest. So many were excited for this release and it coming to Game Pass as well meant it was so much easier for others to be able to play it as well without it making a huge hole in their finances. Unfortunately, I feel we are seeing this a lot and it is laziness in some cases from the developer which never does them any favours.

You're not wrong. You would think for a game developer such as Activision Blizzard they would be able to get their games right and prevent severe failings, unfortunately, this is not the case and a lot of the time, it results in gamers no longer being excited or optimistic about the games they are due to release.

It sure is a shame, there are so many skins that I am missing that I would have loved to be able to get my hands on in Fortnite but now they have gone and there is no chance of getting them, it's something I have come to terms with. I think it would be awesome for people to be able to go back to previous battle passes and unlock things they didn't unlock, that would be an amazing feature.

This is amazing and you should be very proud to have been able to launch a game that you have been working on for so long 🙂 It's not something I am into myself but I do know that it is a genre that many people do enjoy 🙂

I have to agree with you, the backwards compatibility function and also the huge game pass library that they have as well compared to PS+ is one of the many reasons most love Xbox. Not only that but I was always someone who preferred the exclusives for Xbox as well over the exclusives for PlayStation.

That is awesome that you were able to get one in a bundle with a 360 🙂 I remember when we had ours it was a lot of fun but a pain for being accurate in picking you up. I never got around to playing Sonic Riders though but many who did play it had a lot of fun so I do hope you are able to get a copy to check it out 🙂

I remember the yo-yo phase 🙂 was one I went through as well so does explain why you would use a a gamertag that associates with that back then 🙂 I remember the trolling was popular back in the early years of gaming. It's not so bad now and we do get it occasionally still but it's not something I would see people associate with their gamertag now. I guess it is a good thing we can change gamertags as when you are younger, you do tend to go for something you would later regret.

I feel the achievement system is a little outdated now and back when it was new it was popular and everyone wanted a high gamer score. Now it's something that has been out a while with no changes and because of that, the phase everyone went through has phased out. I would love to see an updated achievement system if I am honest.
