Overwatch 2 can’t seem to catch a break – after a troubled launch, players have discovered a small but frustrating feature for fans on console playing with friends on PC – as the game disables aim assist in PC crossplay matches, putting console players at a disadvantage.As spotted by Kotaku, console players are taking to Reddit after discovering that they can’t use aim assist when playing against their PC pals – and they’re not happy about it. In a post dated October 11, user KellySweetHeart pointed out that the disabled aim assist was making it difficult for their friends to play together, noting that they were suffering a “significant dip in their aim consistency.”“For some, it’s just an obstacle, but others just find less enjoyment out of the game being disadvantaged this way,” said KellySweetHeart.
“It’s a total bummer because PC players already perform better on average, so it hits like a double whammy.”Speaking to Kotaku, KellySweetHeart added that this has been an issue for players since Blizzard first introduced crossplay to Overwatch back in June 2021, and was becoming a source of renewed frustration with the release of Overwatch 2. The Redditor told Kotaku that some players had been made “utterly useless” by disabling aim assist, “and it’s directly reflected in their game stats when they play.”The move could be justified in order to ensure a level playing field in competitive modes – but crossplay is unavailable in crossplay anyway, and can only be played in the game’s more casual Quick Play mode.This is far from the only complaint fans have had about Overwatch 2 – from multiple DDoS attacks, to Blizzard having to disable heroes due to bugs, and complaints about the game’s monetisation.

James Bond instead of Daniel Craig.Appearing on the Acting For Others podcast, the Doctor Who star said he had no idea he was being eyed for the role until recently.Asked if he’d ever been in the running, Tennant said: “I never believed I had, until I worked with a director recently who had worked with the Broccolis who said, ‘Yeah, you were on the list that time.’“I was like, ‘What time? What are you talking about?’ He went, ‘Yeah, the last time.’ I suppose it must have been Daniel Craig, before that I would have been a child.”He added: “I think it was quite a long list and I don’t think I was ever very near the top of it. But apparently so.”The role of 007 went to Daniel Craig in 2006. The actor went on to play the secret agent for 15 years before bowing out in No Time To Die.Earlier this month, producer Michael G.

Kevin Spacey finished testifying on Tuesday in the $40 million sexual misconduct lawsuit brought against the “House of Cards” star by Anthony Rapp. The Oscar-winning actor was cross-examined by Rapp’s attorney Richard Steigman, and remained calm, smirking at points, as he was grilled about his drug use and memories of encountering Rapp in 1986 when they were both appearing in stage productions. Rapp was 14 and starring in “Precious Sons”; Spacey was on Broadway in the Jack Lemmon-led revival of “Long Day’s Journey Into Night.” The conversation was meandering — Spacey continued to deny Rapp’s claims that he tried to seduce the then-teenager — and at one point even touched upon a key sequence in “American Beauty” in which Spacey’s character Lester Burnham masturbates to an image of his daughter’s best friend bedecked with rose petals while lying in an oversized tub.
