Anthony's thoughts: Overwatch Beta

Hey guys.

Last time, i was ranted about Tracer's butt that she was like harassed by SJW for Nothing. And some people felt that her pose doesn't fit for her personality. Until in April, they Blizzard finally made a new pose of "over the shoulder" that was based on a vintage cheesecake pin-up. Nice touch and take that, SJW! >8D

Anyway, the game will release on May 24 2016, but first they released a beta version at May 5 to 9 2016, which finally everyone like me give a shot for our anticipation.

When i was entered, i was quiet curious why "play" and "Hero gallery" was closed. It turned out that i have to wait for the game's instillation. Couldn't  Blizzard released it little bit quickly than waiting for instillation? I guess its because we're find out how the gameplay works on tutorial and tutorial range. Once i entered in tutorial, i was excited find out who am i play. You started as Soldier 76 in tutorial for a basic control with a help of A.I. named Athena and you meet Tracer as you follow her for a movements. In tutorial range, you have two characters like Soldier 76 and Tracer, im ok for them, because they're pretty cool. :)

Once it was finally finished of installing, you're ready to play a matches. For the game play itself, its kinda like a Blizzard version of Team Fortress 2, with similar matches like bring the target machine to the enemies basement and Control points.

And like TF2, you can chose a characters who's in types, offense (Six characters), defense (Also six characters), tank (Five characters) and support (Four characters).

For my favorite characters when i played, i like Pharah (Which she looks kinda like Samus Aran, but with rocket launcher, jet pack and even her barrage of rockets, pretty badass, eh?), Reaper (He's also badass that he's wielding a duo shotguns! 0_0), Soldier 76 (Although he has nothing special, but he looks cool with his outfit and his mask.), Tracer (Yup, she's one the fans favorite in the game.), Baston (That robot is cool but it can be unfair that it can turn into a turret form to easily kill you and repair itself. ^^;), Widowmaker (She's is pretty sexy as a sniper. But im not very good as a sniper in online Quick play, guys...), D.VA (A girl in a mecha in a matches, what could possibly go wrong?! :3 Although its pretty cool and cute, but she has a small damage points to kill your enemy, but if you lose your, you better find the wayto hide yourself and wait to bring you mecha back.), Roadhog (I mean Wow, he's such a beast. 0_0) and Mercy (She's like Medic from TF2, but even awesome that she can revive your partner.).

Not to mention, the beta version didn't have a story or any other stuff, which we'll find out for three weeks later.

My only problem when i played, is that some characters has a small ammo like 40 or 20, you'll easily running up for reloading and you'll end up leaving yourself as an open fire from your enemy, but at least you have an infinite magazines for your weapons. Unless the game has an limit of magazines in the initial release, we don't know if its true or not, we'll find out.

Overall, its actually pretty good in a beta version, im looking forward for the initial release. :)

So thats all for now and im Anthony, signing out. ;)

Anthony's thoughts: ePrix Mexico

Wow, i gotta say, it was fun, but it may be intense and controversial at the end.

It all started during a Qualification, Jérôme d'Ambrosio (driver in Team Dragon) took a pole position for a good record and gain 3 points. Also Nelson Piquet Jr was crashed and he had to start to the bottom grid.

In the race, i was expect that d'Ambrosio will stay in the lead, but then Lucas di Grassi (from ABT Schaeffler Audi) passed him for the battle in the lead (or not?). Meanwhile, Antonio Felix Da Costa had suffered a penalty with 10 seconds pit, got a black with orange circle flag for going in pit earlier. But not before he got crashed from losing his control.

At the near end, Sebastian Buemi and Nicolas Prost from E.DAMS, d'Ambrosio and Daniel Abt (also from Schaeffler) are fighting each other in the second place, especially with a frustration radio voice with Buemi and d'Ambrosio (with "The F*** is he doing?!"). I mean, yes, it is pretty hard for performing with electronic cars (depends on the manufacture sparks) to passing at opponents. I mean, d'Ambrosio would've end up crashing at E.DAMS for a huge risk. (And before you ask, yes, there was a part where Buemi accidentally touch at d'Ambrosio's back.)

At the end, the so call "winner" is Lucas di Grassi. But i say "winner", its because he was Disqualified because his car was found to be underweight, in other words, he cheated. So the winner goes to Jérôme d'Ambrosio, the second and third place is Sebastian Buemi and Nicolas Prost, i think this is the second time we have two drivers in the same team to the podium (The first time was Team Dragon in 2nd round of ePrix London in 2015.). As for the fastest lap, d'Ambrosio was supposed to have one, but because of a battle of second place where he drove outside of line for a cutting-corner, it belongs to Prost.

Like i said, it was fun, but it might be a huge risk at the ending. Next time, we're going to my favorite track at April 2nd, Long Beach, California. ;)

Anthony's thoughts Smash Bros final DLC (with rant)

....


*sigh*


I've lost my hope, Sakurai decided to never picked up Shovel Knight or Shantae. Two of our favorite independent characters were all flushed out by two unknown characters that i don't understand why...?!

Yes, i am aware that Bayonetta was actually picked up in ballot, because of Bayonetta 2 in Wii U. Personally, it may sound like good idea on the paper, because Bayonetta franchise is definitely not for kids, because it has violents and nudity with Rated M (For mature). But instead, he decided to pick her up as a winner than Shantae?! What the F***?!  Could he supposed to look a the numbers of voting for DLC fighter?! But nope, he decided to shrugged off and pick her up along with Corrin.

Guess what?! Corrin is another character of Fire Emblem!! WTF, Man!?!?!!? This isn't fair!!! I mean, yes we have some interesting characters in this "franchise" like Marth, Ike, Robin, Lucina and Roy, but Corrin?!!?  Im sorry, this character has to be scrapped and give us our money for this!! I felt like i was betrayed by Nintendo for losing my hope with my favorite indie character! I mean, i felt like was slapped by Sakurai like Konami slapped at Hideo Kojima because of Metal Gear Solid 5: The phantom pain.

*sigh* I think my heart is broken for this horrifying ending of Smash Bros DLC...  Im ok for Bayonetta in Smash Bros, except for one B**** in Fire Emblem...

*sniff*

I really don't wanna live on this planet anymore... I mean the whole world is getting worse. Donald Trump is beating up at Muslims, ISIS is gonna kill us all, Nintendo made me lose my hope and i don't think i have a happy meter enough to watching Star Wars: The force awakens... *my tears drop out of my face*

Why...  Why we have this at the ending of 2015... *start to cry*

I... I need a minute, please... :'(

*several minutes later*

...

*take a breath and sniff*  Im very sorry that this "thing" made me very upset like a 5 year old kid, because i was wishing for Shantae to make her epic chance, but like i said for my rage, i've lost my hope...  In the end, i felt that Smash Bros Wii U/3DS is like a Nintendo version of Destiny. Which we're highly anticipated for a good one, but in the end, we lost our hope for a good one, that it turned into a disappointment... *wipe my tears and sniff*

If you guys are very happy of Bayonetta in Smash Bros, thats fine. If you guys are very mad or very sad without Shantae and Shovel Knight, i understand that we have no luck...

If you have an agreement or you also have a rant, send me a comments bellow, because i really like to know about you thoughts.

Again, il apologies for my anger of this. So thanks for reading and im Anthony, signing out...

Anthony thoughts: Cloud Strife in Smash Bros

Since the ballot of Super Smash Bros came to the end from a few months ago, i was anticipated for the new trailer of DLC characters.

But then, this happens...



When i saw it, i had a mixed feeling when he came as a DLC fighter.

Il start talking about the bad thing about him. when i analysed his movements in the trailer, i felt that he's a copy of Ike. He has a slightly similar of normal and Smash attack of Ike. (Maybe, just maybe if we buy him on Black Friday) He also have the exact same Final Smash of Ike. If you're not a fan of Final Fantasy of his ultimate attack, it was called "Omnislash", its his attack with a multiple of slash counts.  Plus, he's the one fighter that he was not voted in ballot, because 20% people voted him for their personal reason. Or maybe its because of a promotion Final Fantasy 7 remake or maybe an upcoming Kingdom Hearts.

finally, il talk about a good thing about him. I find him look pretty cool, with spiky hairs, interesting outfits (He has two type of outfits, one was FF7 and one of KH) and even his biggest sword i've ever seen. Plus, his special attack looks great with any kind of his magics in Final Fantasy game. Not only he'l be in DLC, but it also include his fighting background, much like Ryu from Street Fighter. Here, it was called "Midgar Stage". It looks pretty amazing with a dark blue night in the cyberpunk place. And much like Marth and Roy, he's also the character who only speaks in Japanese.

Overall, Cloud is the character that everyone has a mixed reaction. some people like him for a promotion of wishing. But 80% people were not looking for because of ballot vote what they picked. But we gotta take a patient to see which is the next fighter will join in. Like i said, i vote for Shantae, because not only i like that she's a half-genie heroine with hair whip and her magic attack (Or maybe a pirate weapons in "Shantae and the pirates curse"), but also a promotion of "Shantae Half Genie hero".

So, what do you guys think about the main hero in FF7 or the other character you wanna see? Send me a comments bellow, because i would like to read your opinion. (Or maybe if you're a fan of Final Fantasy, i would like to know.)

thanks for reading, and im Anthony,signing out. ;)

PS: I also like to tell you that originally, Shovel Knight was plan to be in the game for the fans and even an upcoming Amiibo of himself in Smash Bros. However the creator of Shovel Knight, Sean Velasco (The director of his company Yacht Club Games) denied the plan and even the connection of Shovel Knight in Smash Bros. So, he was scrapped. So...  Sorry guys... :(
