_Earlier this year, DualShockers revealed our 2016 FPS game skins 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
Multiple difficulties and an entertaining array of weapons allow both casual and hardcore gamers to enjoy Fallout 3 . If you’re looking for an even more realistic, difficult challenge, Fallout 4 includes a Survival mode in which players must eat, drink, and sleep regularly in order to survive and save their file. However, Fallout 4 lacks the excellent story, bleak yet beautiful landscape, and vulnerable allies which make Fallout 3 such a thrilling world to expl
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
Enemy shots no longer need to travel a minimum distance before they can be blocked
Developer Comments: Previously, there was a minimum distance a projectile had to travel before it could be destroyed by Defense Matrix. This made it nearly worthless in situations where an enemy was right next to your teammate, such as when Roadhog hooks your ally. This change removes that restriction so Defense Matrix should now reliably destroy projectiles regardless of how far they have trave
Overwatch is available now for PS4, Xbox One, and PC - the full patch notes for the game's latest update in the PTR can be found below. Once approved and finalized in the PTR, the patch will then roll out to final release on PC and conso
Developer Comments: D.Va’s armor often made her feel like she had no weaknesses, even against heroes that are often effective against bigger targets (like Reaper). The changes to her Fusion Cannons will result in a small overall decrease in damage, but they should feel more consistent
Let's be honest, when Overwatch fans complain, it's with a grain of salt. We've got it pretty good. Blizzard is known for listening to their community and responding quickly to dissatisfaction or unintended consequences, while always keeping their fans informed. Overwatch 's development team is no different. It's like they are themselves an elite global task force recruited with one common goal: to deliver a fun and competitive gaming experie
While I had several experiences to get me through months at a time throughout the year, Overwatch is the title that I kept coming back to all year long. Even in a year where shooters reigned supreme -- between it, DOOM , Titanfall 2 , Battlefield 1 , Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare , and so many others -- Overwatch surpassed not only my expectations of the experience it would offer as a competitive shooter, but genuinely came as a surprise in becoming my favorite gaming experience of the entire y
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
The Zombie mode in Infinite Warfare is fun, but restricted thanks to its role as a minor section of the game. Left 4 Dead 2 , on the other hand, is entirely focused on zombies. The game offers the same dynamics of Infinite Warfare ’s online competition and more, allowing players to battle each other or work together in a variety of modes. With great maps, good characters and story, and an excellent variety of enemies, Left 4 Dead 2 tests your ability to survive the zombie apocalypse far more than the zombies in Call of Duty . The game’s campaign—which may be completed alone or with other players—involves missions rather than pure survival, allowing players to attain victories they’ll never experience in Infinite Warfare ’s Zombie m
_2016 has come to a close and while the new year ahead has plenty of games for us to look forward to, the beginning of the year is also the perfect time to reflect on the games that made the previous year so exceptional, with 2016 being no exceptiona
Much like Team Fortress 2 -- one of Blizzard's most obvious influences on the title -- Overwatch is a team-oriented game: extra emphasis on that "team-oriented" part. No matter what the skill levels are of players on the team, Blizzard's smart direction and design of Overwatch emphasizes the need for players to work together and collaborate incredibly well, and along the way makes each match feel like a learning experience when it comes down to playing as each of the game's Heroes and mastering their skills and particular ro
