     Overwatch 2 players review roller coaster first two weeks

Overwatch 2 players are taking a moment to review the multiplayer game's roller coaster launch after the announcement that the Overwatch 2 player count has reached 25 million players just ten days after Blizzard launched it as a free game. Server instability, DDoS attacks, and numerous glitches have caused disruption among the playerbase, leading to Blizzard offering an Overwatch 2 compensation package. On the other hand, the team reports that it's very happy with the current state of Overwatch 2 balance at launch.

It appears that Diablo Immortal PvP players who idle in the RPG game's competitive modes instead of playing are now being punished by Blizzard. Recently, the developer put out a social media post asking Diablo Immortal players to be nice and not go AFK (away from keyboard, a popular term for being inactive), but now it appears to actually be taking action. Following the Diablo Immortal Halloween update, players began to notice that they are receiving warnings if they stand still for too long during Battlegrounds matches.

nier automata bunker trailer anime

Aniplex has uploaded a new trailer for the upcoming NieR Automata anime, focusing on the Bunker this time. Previously, it highlighted how 2B and 9S would appear in their animated debut. The Bunker trailer focuses mostly on the Commander, with Chiaki Kano reprising her role. Though they do not appear in the trailer, itself, the cast list does include Operators 6O and 21O.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9p26isMDvuM

The official website for the anime was also updated with some art featuring the Commander and some Operators.

[gallery columns="1" ids="937361" link="file"]

Keiko Isobe will return as Operator 6O, and Meari Hatsumi will also reprise her role as Operator 21O. Operators 6O and 21O may be in the promotional art of the Bunker units, standing next to the Commander. However, since there are so many similar Operator units from the game, it is difficult to say for sure.

In a conversation with anime director Ryouji Masuyama, and game director/writer Yoko Taro, they gave some hints to the story. According to Yoko Taro, the reason why the anime is called NieR Automata Ver 1.1a is because it would divert from the original plot. This is because NieR Automata's base story relied on the game medium, which would be difficult to convey in anime format. This would also give veterans of the game a chance to experience a new story.

 

NieR Automata originally came out in 2017 for the PS4, with PlatinumGames as the developer. It is an ARPG following 2B and 9S, who are android soldiers in a proxy war between the aliens and the humans. Yoko Taro wrote the story, which deals with themes such as existentialism. A Nintendo Switch version came out in early October 2022, with some Switch-exclusive costumes.

NieR Automata is readily available on the PS4, Xbox One, Windows PC, and Nintendo Switch. The anime version will come out in January 2023.

demon slayer season 3

More information on season 3 of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba will come out on December 10, 2022. It will appear after Demon Slayer The Movie: Mugen Train, which will broadcast on Japanese television on that date. The first episode of the anime version of Mugen Train will also air before the movie. [Thanks, Livedoor!]

Back in February 2022, ufotable announced that Demon Slayer season 3 would cover the Swordsmith Village Arc. The promotional art showed Muichiro and Mitsuri, who are both members of the Hashira. Muichiro is the Mist Pillar and Mitsuri is the Love Pillar. It is unknown what information we will see in December, but it may be a new trailer for the upcoming season.

The Mugen Train movie is the highest-grossing movie of all time in Japan, beating out strong contenders such as Spirited Away. When the anime returned after the first season, it had several episodes before the Entertainment District Arc that basically retold the Mugen Train Arc. Though it did re-animate and add some scenes, the movie and anime versions of Mugen Train were virtually the same. However, the first episode of the Mugen Train Arc in the anime featured a prologue of sorts about Rengoku. This was not in the movie version, and showed his activities before he met Tanjiro and the others.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is available on streaming services such as Netflix and Crunchyroll.

bayonetta 3 boycott

Hellena Taylor, the voice actor who originally voiced the Bayonetta from the Bayonetta series, urged fans to boycott the upcoming release of Bayonetta 3, due to "legal but immoral" business practices. She felt that PlatinumGames's flat offer of $4000 USD to voice the entire game was "insulting."

Taylor went into more detail in a series of videos posted to Twitter.

https://twitter.com/hellenataylor/status/1581289084718227456?s=46&t=bZjcR2MeysC5yCh_cczZUQ

Taylor starts by explaining that she spent 7 and a half years training to be an actress. She spent four of those years with the "legendary" Larry Moss. However, she felt that the offer of $4000 USD was a sign of disrespect for that time and money. She urges fans to stand up for the unfair treatment of workers and to donate the money they would have spent on Bayonetta 3 to charity. In total, the Bayonetta franchise made over $450 million before merchandise.

Taylor has also spoken up on her anxiety and suicidal tendencies as a result of financial worries. She explained that she had to audition for the role for Bayonetta 3, which is standard practice. However, the initial offer was "insulting." After she wrote a letter to Bayonetta creator Hideki Kamiya, Kamiya replied that he valued her talents and treasured his memory of meeting her. Though Taylor was optimistic, this letter was when she got the offer of $4000 USD. Ultimately, Taylor was replaced for Bayonetta 3, with the role going to Jennifer Hale. Hale has also played roles like Commander Shepard in the Mass Effect series.

Hideki Kamiya has indirectly responded on Twitter, decrying an "attitude of untruth", and calling the situation "sad and deplorable." When it confirmed that Bayonetta had been recast for Bayonetta 3, PlatinumGames claimed that the recasting was due to "overlapping circumstances" and "scheduling conflicts."

Taylor's complaints come at a time when voice actor pay is a hot topic in the game and anime industries. Over the past weeks and months, some English-language voice actors who played roles in popular anime and games have come forward to speak about their working conditions and pay. Chris Tergliafera, who voiced Kiyotaka Ijichi in Jujutsu Kaisen 0, revealed he was paid $150 USD for the job. In September 2022, Kyle McCarley stated that he would not return as Mob in the English dub of Mob Psycho 100 season 3. In McCarley's case, the dispute was over his insistence on negotiating union contracts for future productions with Crunchyroll, which he claims preferred to recast the role than negotiate.

In Bayonetta 3's case, Jennifer Hale, the new voice of Bayonetta, is represented by the SAG-AFTRA union in the U.S. She was a vocal presence in a SAG-AFTRA-led strike that took place in 2016 and 2017, picketing leading game publishers over failed negotiations for SAG-AFTRA contracts. According to the Voice Over Resource Guide, the standard SAG-AFTRA rate charges roughly $1917.25 USD for a 6-Hour session voicing a video game (not including pension & health contributions paid by the employer). Speaking to CBC in 2016 about the strike, Hale commented that the average voice recording session for a game in North America is about 4 hours long for a single actor.

Bayonetta 3 will come out for the Nintendo Switch on October 28, 2022.
