Overwatch Players Want The New Hero's Ultimate To Be Nerfed
With the launch of Overwatch(https://www.gamespot.com/games/overwatch/) Season 2, Sierra has entered the game(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/overwatchs-next-hero-comes-with-a-badass-grappling-hook-and-juicy-lore-opportunities/1100-6539284/) as the title's 51st character. But if the early reaction to Sierra's introduction is any indication, she may need to be nerfed soon because her ultimate attack can cause massive amounts of damage to opposing players. When Sierra has 1800 points, her ultimate can fire a drone that drops 23 bombs, each dealing 180 damage. The bombs' impact can be felt up to three meters away, and there's not much players with slower characters can do to avoid being caught in the lethal aftermath. "I love the drone grapple, but her ultimate is ridiculous and literally needs to be nerfed today," .wrote a player on Reddit(https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/1sln23v/comment/og80bd4/). "Also not a fan of every 6 second aimbot. Love her character design though."

These days, it seems multiplayer shooters are a dime a dozen, but Battlefield 6 was the best-selling game of 2025(https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/2025-best-selling-games/2900-6281/), so it must be doing something right. It seems like either of these iconic shooters go on sale all the time, but buying it used is the best way to save even more if you've been wanting to check them out for awhile.

Dead Space Creator Talks GTA 6's Effect On Other Games: "You Don't Wanna Be Near It"
As Grand Theft Auto 6(https://www.gamespot.com/games/grand-theft-auto-vi/)'s November 19 launch date looms in the distance, the games industry is bending over backwards to get out of its way(https://www.gamesindustry.biz/the-games-industry-reacts-to-the-delay-of-gta-6). Per Dead Space creator and Callisto Protocol director Glen Schofield, Rockstar's plans to delay the game (which was pushed back from a May 2026 release date(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/why-did-rockstar-delay-gta-6/1100-6536423/) last year) have upended the launch plans of many other studios, from those working on indie games to other AAA titles. "With all this money that came in during the pandemic, you now have too many AAA games coming out at Christmas, as opposed to a few plus something from Nintendo," Schofield said in a recent interview with gamesindustry.biz(https://www.gamesindustry.biz/be-creative-99-of-the-time-glen-schofield-on-how-creativity-can-help-fix-aaa-industry-woes). "There are no new people in the market, so if there are too many games out at once, they're gonna fail. And so everyone tries to get out of the blast radius of any big game." Schofield definitely has a point, although the delay has certainly worked in the favor of other games, with Lego Batman: The Legacy of the Dark Knight production director Jonathan Smith saying the team at TT Games is "really glad to have some space"(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-delay-made-lego-batman-dev-feel-really-glad/1100-6538455/) to show off the game without being overshadowed by a juggernaut like GTA 6. But for studios currently working on a project slated for an end-of-year release, this is a nightmare. Even Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has said he can't imagine any adult choosing not to play GTA 6(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/take-two-ceo-cant-imagine-an-adult-who-will-skip-gta-6/1100-6538849/).
