Overwatch’s Sombra Mystery Is Getting Old And Players Are Fed Up

Overwatch’s Alternate Reality Game which has been followed by the community and Game Detectives for months now was supposed to reach its end yesterday as the counter on the website amomentincrime.com was to reach 100% and players had theorized that this would mark the release of the much awaited hero, Sombra. However, it seems that they were met with more disappointment.

Yeh the delay is leading a lot of complains :|

Stop expecting things and hyping these unproven ideas or thoughts up to a point where you will be disappointed. These clues and ideas should only be coming from those trying to solve the mystery. Nobody said Sombra would be released when the website hit 100%. The moment everyone started getting involved so much hype was built that it's damn near impossible to make these people happy. It's "give me what we are expecting" or rage. Unfortunately, you're gunna have to rage because Blizzard does what they want on Blizzard time. Let the clue solvers do the thinking. Everyone else just play the game and follow the updates or ignore them.

My Overwatch is off to the trade in shelf, the content has been incredibly average, 1 map and character since launch with a bunch of cosmetics... just lost interest.

Perjoss2896d ago

Cant get enough of Overwatch personally, but you're right they need a better balance between cosmetics and actual content like maps and game modes.

Review: Sumerian Six is a worthy, if unoriginal, real-time stealth tactics game - Entertainium

Unashamedly derived from the work of Mimimi Games, Sumerian Six adds weirdness to World War II.

Ex-343 QA Claims Microsoft Contracting Policies Main Issue MS Exclusives Seeing Downturn in Quality

One former 343 Industries QA Tester blames Microsoft's contracting policies for the Halo franchise's hardships and MS' exclusives downturn in quality.

Microsoft biggest opp is the main stream media lol suda 51 hit it on the head on metacritic and media bias.

The contracting policies do cause a decrease in developer productivity. New contractors are continually having to adjust to new dev tools and workplaces. Once a contractor has fully adjusted to a studio and its development tech, they are often let go and replaced.

Exactly. Save on money but compromise quality.

pwnmaster30003h ago

Literally all big companies get the same treatment… maybe not Nintendo as much but Sony and MS definitely do.

ThinkThink10h ago

Downturn in quality? Aside from redfall, they've been doing pretty good.

isarai7h ago

You're not living up to your username bro, nearly every MS studio release has been met with sizeable disappoinment of some kind besides Hi-Fi Rush for the past decade.

BeHunted5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Concord, the PS5 game that cost $400 million, flopped within 12 days of its release, surpassing E.T. to become the biggest flop in gaming history. What happened? Did they forget to include gameplay?

isarai5h ago

@BeHunted

Absolutely no one is defending Concord 🤣, also the $400mil has been debunked. And lastly this has nothing to do with Sony or Concord.

Hypertension1405h ago

@BeHunted

I think he means Microsofts old studios, the ones responsible for halo, gears and forza. Every new game has had a noticeable drop in quality.

Concord is from one of Sonys newest studios, and Microsoft buying what's already popular studios don't count.

OtterX3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

@BeHunted lol, that's like s***ing your pants and saying "Hey, that guy over there p***ed his pants, it's ok!"

No dude, you still s*** your pants. Many times. Now nobody wants to play with you.

At least the other guy is cleaning his pants.

Look at first party games pre Halo 5 and gears 4 some amazing generational hits that stand as some of the greatest games ever made like halo 1/2/3, mass effect 1, gears 1/2, Crackdown, fable etc.

And look at them since the Kinect on 360 where the focus turned to trying to capture the casual market pivoting back trying cloud and gamepass and giving up then going on a spending spree because they failed to compete on their own merits.
Stellar games like
Halo 5/ infinite, gears 4, recore, starfield and red fall are the result. I don't think anyone will look back in 20 years like man that whole moment between master chief and locke when they teamed up with amazing but everyone recalls the fall of reach.

Yeah I've noticed a significant downturn in quality for the last decade or more

Hi-fi rush was born out of a side project and that is their most acclaimed game in the last decade

I am not surprised Microsoft is there own enemy.

Knightofelemia8h ago

I found that after Microsoft bought 2 certain ip's from Bungie and Epic their quality has gone down. The exclusives are boring Gears 4 and 5 I thought were boring Halo 5 I also thought was boring. And yes the quality was there when XB360 had exclusives. But since XB1 and Series X the quality and lack of exclusives has gone down. And yes it sounds like Microsoft is a prick to work for. Work today get turfed tomorrow.

Hotpot5h ago

It was downturn anyway since they bought Halo and Gears from Bungie and epic.
