Overwatch to not sell maps or hero's

Since overwatch was announced as buy to play people like my self have been concerned that they would be doing a pay to win model with post release hero's.

Today blizzard announced that there would be no dlc hero's or maps.

They will sell cosmetic skins for stupid prices but those do not effect game play.

Still the game seems over priced for no single player. I didn't get battlefront because it seemed shallow for the full price tag. Compared to battle front 2 which has a ton of content to play with.

This is a good move for blizzard. Just not sure why they weren't ready to answer it at blizzcon.

Arma 3 Marksman DLC

The 3rd DLC for Arma was released today with the platform update adding weapons resting and bipods.
The platform update is fantastic adding more realistic sounds and AI along with better weapons game play.

As for the new DLC content, its a bit light. I got the session pass a while ago and together I guess the new content is nice but so much is free its does seem silly paying for just a handful of guns but I can understand putting most of the free content behind a paywall would make the game pay to win. 

As I am a fan of the series I don't mind but a few more single player missions would have been nice.

The Yamama server has been updated just I forgotten what its password is =P

I can't wait

Arma 3 Takes on Helicopters

The Helicopter DLC is out for Arma 3 and it is looking quite good. Dslyecxi has made another video based on the changes from beta to release which is quite interesting:


The flight model was relased as a patch today and doesn't require the DLC so you can try it out yourself. I gave it a spin and found it vastly improved over Take On Helicopters. It was also good to find something else to use my X52 Pro with.

As for the DLC, I think its worth it if you are into flying. If not you can still enjoy the features from the DLC just not fly the two new helicopters.

Zeus - First DLC For Arma 3 and it is FREE

Caesar in Gaul

Rome 2 gets a lot of stick, I personally think its a fantastic game. I have almost all the Total War games except Medieval.

I think its the setting that I enjoy. I never got into any of the except the Rome series. There is just so much going on at that time.

Anyway, new DLC, which would be perfect if it had a Asterix mod

Currently I am part way though a campaign playing as Sparta in the default game. Spartan's don't float very well .......

Skyrim DLC will be Expansion packs

Bethesda have today said that they will be releasing expansion sized DLC instead of side quest sized DLC they did for Fallout 3.

This means there will be less of them but more value for money.

Also during the gaps between release expect free updates that add new content. This hopefully means the stuff they showed in the 'week' video.
