Connecting to battle.net seems problematic

Got the disc version for PS4 due to Amazon Prime discount. Anyway I popped it in thinking it might need a day-one update patch of somekind... 10.68 GB and 5 hours left at current speed, which is noteworthy in its slowness.

Yeah not only do they do a repeat of the pilot next week, but they were advertising that they would have a different cast of characters on the "post-show" live interview segment for next week. The best I can hope for is that they think people will build buzz about it during the week and their...

Yeah Target had a big push for this in their weekly circular as well as in-store displays. They had them for sale as soon as the place opened up this AM along with a sign reinforcing that the servers were not live until later today.

Cassidy is spot-on. I was surprised they took their time with this first episode / pilot to really ease into the characters.

Well all the others feature multiple characters. Recall = Winston and Reaper, Alive = Widowmaker and Tracer, Dragons = Hanzo and Genji... so it is a bit odd that Soldier 76 is the only character in "Hero".

The Phantom Menace bugs me for a number of reasons, but among them is the fact that I actually like the core story element of Palpatine being a xenophobic political genius that acted as a puppetmaster to engineer the crisis.

I think it is very ballsy to launch globally at the exact same time. Granted a game like Overwatch has very little need to access a centralized database as there is no "character information" and all they have is cosmetic bling that is awarded exclusively in the lobby. If they have segregated...

Well that was something I wasn't expecting... makes some sense though given the Children.

Life-size Overwatch action figures discovered worldwide | Polygon Those look pretty cool. Here's hoping they make regular size versions of those figures!

While I can't begrudge the Live team for creating a narrative around the Fallen / House of Wolves / Crota etc. I would really like to continue what, as I see it, is the main plot involving the Traveller, the Speaker, what the hell the Darkness is, what happened to Humanity's Golden Age etc.

Something which just occurred to me, although perhaps it occurred to others ages ago, is that the First Order is still comprised of exclusively humans and seems to adhere to the extreme xenophobia of the Empire.** The leader, Snoke, is almost certainly NOT human though and so the whole thing...

Well the finale was fairly predictable. Glad we got rid of the hawks and Firestorm finally got to transmute stuff (which was originally going to happen in the Flash season finale last year but they had to cut it out). The ending however...

I think this just shows that the gaming public would have been receptive to Titan had they managed to overcome the "what's the game??" issue. It was likely a large issue because part of the attraction of Overwatch is becoming one of those characters and not generic player01 who occupies their...

With all the focus on background story elements and overall world-building/look of the Overwatch setting they have certainly left the door open for other types of games set in the Overwatch universe. I could EASILY see them use the Overwatch characters / abilities in an XCOM-type mission sim or...

I had a feeling they were introducing him to be the new big bad. I suppose we will end up with LMD Ward now...

Ooooookay....that was an interesting direction for the ending.

It wasn't just you, the writing has generally been poor ever since they started diluting the writing pool across so many shows. Kinda silly they didn't have Hartley for this episode, but they did at least name check him.

It's about fucking time they got those two in the same scene...

The quality of all the Overwatch animation pieces, from the initial reveal all the way through this lead-up to the release has been fantastic. Granted the fact that Blizzard only produces a few minutes of material a year is part of the reason they are so high quality, but damn if I wouldn't...

So after another week of playing this game I am getting more and more addicted to it. In my quest to unlock the class-specific artifact on Miko I needed to be on the same team as Kelvin 5 times... which resulted in me playing a phenomenal number of PVP matches (which are always faster than a...

I got this book for xmas from a close friend who noticed that James Halliday and I share WAAAYY too many things in common. Born in the summer of 1972, Atari for Xmas in 1979, Adventure on of my favorite games that I played over and over, D&D as main path to social interaction, Latin in High...

The market share and profitability from those terrible mobile free to play games is just plain insane. The effort to profitability ratio is just off the charts. Does not bode well for "serious" gamers.

Scarlet Witch was in the prison muzzled and in a strait jacket wasn't she? She would be part of the secret avengers as well no?

This game would be more fun if so many people weren't suffering from acute objective sensitivity. That's the only logical reason I can conceive as to why people, who presumably have played a game before, avoid the objective like it is plagued.

Last week everything happened...this week nothing happened.

Anyone on PS4 feel free to add me. PSN = Qhue

I really believe that they are intentionally going for a lower price point aiming squarely at the VR adopters and possibility of growing that VR market. I used to build a new PC every 2 years like clockwork and yet I've been using the same machine now for 5 years and haven't had a lick of...

You are telling me after capturing a point you aren't supposed to run around like crickets-on-crack chasing the enemy around corners? Mind. Blown.

Can we re-brand this show as "Justice League of Morons?". Sigh

They changed that actually. I tried to get my second character below 160 so I could Dark Zone with my buddy who was newly 30 and 105. I put on gear that lowered me to 157 and was stilling 161+, then I put all my excess gear into the stash (couldn't switch when I got inside) and still Nada...

They announced yesterday that they are revising the loot system (how it's awarded at any rate) and creating a new 200+ bracket for the Dark Zone along with the new Incursion. This is all for 1.2 which is under extensive QA and they hope to tell us more details in the coming weeks. My first...

I was also playing Miko since I discovered in Beta that having a support vs not having a support was night and day in terms of trying to do the Story Missions. Yeah the lack of a convenient way to see group health is really problematic when playing a healer, I think that contributed...

Played this some last night with mixed results. Thoughts in no particular order: - Very first thing I did was a Public Story Mission where we had people with microphones and there was actual communication going on. Sadly we got to Geoff in the first mission and he bugged out and that was...

They telegraphed that ending a mile away...

Perhaps I am using the lingo incorrectly. I had thought Mutations were a third option found on the Helix that got unlocked as you made progression with a given character in the form of levels, but that was the only real gameplay modification that existed in the game. You know I thought I...

Battleborn seems to have somewhat obfuscated progression. It is the sort of game where you might think that you would have solid progression system and instead they have the rather vague "mutations" which is more akin to the level unlocks in Heroes of the Storm than anything else. I'd have...

The day that the Overwatch Beta and Battleborn come out and the Division can't even get the daily missions to show up. Their 1.2 patch had better be freaking amazing...

Either I'm getting old (I am) or I need to go visit Lenscrafters (I do) but the on-screen text for this game is so freakishly small that I have to get closer to the screen in order to read what the ability text is. Now after I know all these things I should be able to sit back aways and relax...

Nah they have been advertising the open beta on both Xbone and PS4 for quite some time, so there definitely is one but since I did not order through PSN (went Amazon route for Prime discount) I am not at all sure how the code is supposed to come.
