So, as everyone knows by now, Crystal of Atlan simply kicked off its first crossover occasion that includes characters from One-Punch Man. For some individuals, this can be very thrilling. And I’m excited for them. However, for me, it’s much less so.
Right here’s the factor: it’s bizarre to enter one of many hubs and see a dozen Saitamas operating round. Sure, I do know everybody begins out with their characters successfully wanting the identical – one other annoying trait for MMOs the place I see different individuals on a regular basis – however as you’ll be able to customise as you go alongside, I used to be keen to reside with it and play for the story. And, admittedly, I used to be having fun with the story for essentially the most half.
However with this, I simply can’t. It’s an excessive amount of. The reality is, I are likely to ignore plenty of crossovers in story-based video games. That’s simple sufficient to do in video games which can be kind of single-player. I’ve by no means used Aloy in Genshin Influence, regardless of her being given out without spending a dime. I’ll take a look at the Destiny/keep Evening occasion in Honkai: Star Rail as a result of it seems like they’ve carried out a narrative that can combine them into the world. However in both case, I’ll solely see one single occasion of the characters in query within the recreation, as a result of it’s a solo recreation.
That mentioned, the thought of crossovers in video games like MOBAs doesn’t hassle me almost as a lot, in all probability since you’re not likely worrying concerning the story, and it’s potential to see the identical character twice in a match. You’re not likely embodying a personality on their journey. So, it’s what it’s.
Nonetheless, for this occasion, I’m out. Possibly I’ll pop again in later when individuals get uninterested in it. However likelihood is fairly good I’ll be sucked into one thing else by that time. There are plenty of video games popping out, in any case.
