Overwatch: 15 Things You Never Knew About Hanzo

It's hard to remember a time when so many great games were flooding the market after the holidays. Capcom is rolling out some cool hits, continuing the Resident Evil franchise with Resident Evil: Revelations on the 3DS and topping it off with the wacky and out of control Asura's Wrath . It's just insane and Japanese enough to grab my attention. Jak and Daxter will make their return to the PlayStation in glorious HD and I couldn't be more elated to play through one of my favorite trilogies again. Yes, it was a trilogy. The spin-offs don't co


The term "Hanzo Main" has become something of an insult online. While it is certainly a refreshing change of pace from the usual racist/sexist/homophobic insults that are usually thrown about online, it is still an odd thing to be used as a derogatory term. Is someone's choice of video game character truly an insult? If the Internet was as prevalent in the '90s as it is today, would we be angrily calling people "E. Honda main" or "Mr. Mime main" in online c


Bundle up for a journey to Ecopoint: Antarctica, the former Overwatch installation where climatologist Mei-Ling Zhou was once stationed. While researching severe weather anomalies in the region, the station was hit by an intense polar storm. Running out of options and low on supplies, the team decided to cryogenically freeze themselves until the storm passed. They believed that it would only be for a few months, but Mei awoke nearly a decade la


Finally, some general changes and bug fixes have been made to the overall game. Players will no longer lose progress on their On Fire meter, your first win won't count as a loss in career mode any more, and Sombra will no longer be able to get out of the playable area on Eichenwa


The details of the original fight between Hanzo and Genji are sketchy at best. It is believed that the two had a sword fight, with Hanzo overpowering his brother. The reason this is believed is because the creators of Overwatch have outright said that Hanzo is a better swordsman than Genji. He likely stopped using a sword after almost killing his brother with


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


"Cheers love, the cavalry's here!" If you're one of the 25 million people that have played Blizzard's Overwatch , that line and many others like it will be permanently burned in your brain. Unless you've been living under a hermetically sealed rock, you shouldn't need us to tell you that the game has been a massive hit since it launched last year and has garnered widespread praise from critics and gamers alike. It also spawned a huge and dedicated global fan community that have pored over the lore, taken part in every special event and created swaths of fan-art and creations inspired by the Fps Game Ranking Tips (some more "interesting" than others, but we'll get to that). Character D.Va even inspired a real-life feminist movement in South Korea. How many other video games can say t


Due to the Slipstream accident, Tracer is constantly in a state of flux. Her molecules were desynchronized and led to her suffering "chronal disassociation". Tracer recounts that after her first reappearance, she would fade out for hours and even days before returning to the present. To make matters worse, when she was in the correct time, she was incorporeal, unable to touch or interact with anything. Thankfully, Winston invented the chronal accelerator, and Tracer became an effective member of the Overwatch task fo


Overwatch shipped with 21 playable characters, but subsequent updates added support sniper Ana and sneaky hacker Sombra to the fray. More characters are expected in the future, with rumors currently flying around about actor and expert shouter Terry Crews voicing Doomfist, one of several arch villains of the Overwatch universe only referenced in hushed tones thus far. With such a diverse gallery, it's interesting to find out where some of these dynamic characters came from in the first pl


Whilst the Overwatch beta marked Tracer's official debut, her first appearance in a fully-fledged title was actually in Blizzard's MOBA game, Heroes of the Storm . Tracer was made available as part of the April 2016 update for the game, a full month before Overwatch hit store shelves and hard drives worldwide. The HotS Tracer has all the same basic abilities as her Overwatch counterpart, with her Recall and Pulse Bomb abilities all present and accounted

One of the most popular characters on the Overwatch roster is Tracer, the young, lightning quick Brit with teleportation powers. Even though the game has a ton of wildly different characters, Tracer has arguably become the face of the game, appearing on promotional material and the final box-art. It was perhaps because of her prominence that she hit headline news late last year when it was revealed, via Christmas themed comic "Reflections", that she was the first of Overwatch 's confirmed LGBTQ charact
