Overwatch: 15 Things You Never Knew About Hanzo

_Earlier this year, DualShockers revealed our 2016 Game of the Year Awards from both our readers and staff , including the overall GOTY (which was Final Fantasy XV this year for both readers and staff), Biggest Shocker!, and many mor


_Developer Comments: Zenyatta’s alternate fire often felt too difficult to use due to its long recovery time. This reduction should make it a more viable option. Also, his weapon has always had a very small amount of spread. read this blog post from factnew.com wasn’t enough to change the way he was played, but it would occasionally cause shots to miss that would normally hit their target. Removing this small variance should help him feel more consistent. _ ** BUG FIXES ** Gen


If I told you about a first person shooter that was the sequel to a well-received first outing, five years in the making, developed by the studio that co-developed the Unreal Tournament games, and featured a Mafioso protagonist who wielded a highly carnivorous dark power… you’d at least Google it right? So go ahead and check out The Darkness

I'm still questing away in the northern-most province of Tamriel but there is a lot to look forward to this month. With Batman: Arkham City and Saints Row: The Third finally completed, I'm looking forward to Syndicate and SSX . I'm also considering picking up Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition since I missed out on the fighter last year. Outside of that, I still need to finish the last two Assassin's Creed titles before I fall too far behind. I'm also still on the fence on whether or not I'll be purchasing a Vita - I want it, but I'm not sure I have the time to enjoy


In "Dragons", Hanzo's powers and limitations were changed. He only carried a few arrows into battle with him, which became an issue when he ran out during his fight with Genji. This meant that he was forced to run around collecting his used arrows. The way Hanzo used his arrows was also different, as he was shown to be able to change their flight path after they left the bow. This cannot be done in Overwatch and it is weird that they would misrepresent how he actually plays in the g


As millions of players tried to get online, the games servers were quickly overwhelmed. Many people couldn't log in, some couldn't even get to the character creation stage, and a few found issues with activities such as jobs and ra


As an open world game, some issues were expected but many players agreed that these were unacceptable. Plus, they were following on from other Unity controversies including its lack of playable female characters, a decreased framerate on consoles, and Ubisoft's decision to include microtransacti


When it comes to character matchups in Overwatch, Hanzo has the most trouble when facing off against his brother. Genji is all about getting up close and personal with his sword. His melee prowess, coupled with his fast movement speed, makes it hard for Hanzo players to hit him at close range. The true anti-Hanzo weapon in Genji's arsenal is his Deflect ability, as this allows him to reflect Hanzo's arrows straight back at


No longer protects allies from knockback




_Developer Comments: This is actually reverting a change that we made a few patches ago, which made players immune to knockbacks if they were hit by an effect from inside her barrier. This had some negative side effects, such as making targets immune to knockbacks from effects that pierce barriers, like Reinhardt’s charge and Winston’s Primal Rage punches. Now, these will cause knockback again. This does not affect knockbacks from effects that originate from outside her barriers, such as Pharah’s Concussive Blast. Those will still be blocked by the barriers, not causing any knockback. _ Zeny


Hanzo's Ultimate attack is called the Dragonstrike. When the Dragonstrike is fully charged, it allows Hanzo to fire an arrow that summons two massive dragons made of energy. These move forward in a straight line and will damage all enemies that are caught within them. The Dragonstrike is highly situational but is devastating when correctly pulled off. It is best saved for natural chokepoints within a map or for the times when the enemies gather around the payl


Blizzard Entertainment released patch notes and information on a new update that is now available in the game's Public Test Region on PC. Specifically, the new update addresses some balance changes with certain Heroes, such as Roadhog's hook being a bit more balanced, while Ana, D.Va, and Sombra also have some changes in p


Since its release in May last year, Overwatch has dominated competitive play with a passionate fanbase and continued updates on its character, with the game's latest balance changes offering some tweaks for a few of the game's Her


Yes, the PlayStation Vita isn't a game, but it's probably one of the most anticipated handhelds of all time. With it, Sony plans to take portable gaming a step further; dual analog sticks, front and rear touch pads, and a beautiful OLED screen make the Vita a gamer's dream. With the promise of always on connectivity and console quality games on the go, the Vita has earned the immense hype surrounding
