Battlefield 1 Gamescom Trailer: My Thoughts

Hey Guys, I know I'm writing this pretty late, but I was at work at the time this trailer was released. Additionally, I still have a boner after watching it, so I think I need to see a doctor. Anyways, if you have not yet seen the trailer please go check it out.

Just admire the blaze...

First of all, the flamethrower is just awesome! How long has it been since a flamethrower has been used in a multiplayer game besides Call of Duty? Regardless, it's going to be downright terrifying to deal with someone with a flamethrower in close-quarters combat. It's still good for crowd control nonetheless.

I'm actually excited that battleships are going to be usable in the game or at least I believe they can be used. It would especially useful to get the upper hand on the losing side of a team. However, I'm pretty sure it's just a mortar on a bigger scale, but it's still going to cause mayhem on a bigger scale.

Not sure how horse combat is going to work. It's probably just going to have two passengers with only one being able to actually use a weapon.

I even noticed that there is a strong emphasis on the air combat. Personally, I am not very good at air combat. I can fly a jet and helicopter, but I am not good when it comes to actually attacking or making the proper evasive maneuvers. I hope that there will be no lock-on features in the game for air combat in order to get a realistic approach to air combat. Imagine how long it's going to take for people to get skilled at manually aiming.

I'm not too sure how to feel about elite soldiers. That one elite soldier that was featured in the trailer looked incredibly powerful. If a sniper couldn't take him out, then standard weapons aren't going to do anything. I know that it's similar to Battlefront, but I've never played the full game, so I wouldn't know.

Before I end this, I must add that the open beta starts on August 31st. People who registered for Battlefield Insider may be able to get access to the beta a bit earlier.

Overwatch Summer Games Update: My Thoughts

Hey Guys, I know this update launched earlier this week, but I never got a chance to talk about it. I haven't talked about Overwatch since I wrote my article about McCree.

Before I go into my thoughts, I should first let you know that this is a time-limited event that will end by August 22nd. If you want any of these skins, you need to get them before they are gone forever. Well, I hope it's not forever.

Anyways, I love how Lucioball is a homage to Rocket League. I wouldn't say it's a blatant rip-off since it's only temporary I assume. I'd rather play Rocket League instead, but it's still a cool week brawl event. I can't wait to see what's coming up in the week coming up.

My main issue with this update is the Summer Loot Box. Seriously, it's already enough that the random loot box system will make even the patient of men throw their controller out of frustration. Overwatch players know that feeling after busting their asses off for hours trying to level up to get a loot box and end up getting shit items.

That's exactly what's going on with me! I hardly have the time to play the game, so I've been trying to squeeze in the time to play the game and commit to at least leveling up once a day to get a loot box.

As of writing this, I am on level 38. I know that I am such a low level, but keep in mind that I don't really have the time to play the game as much as I want to. Anyways, I've been getting nothing but summer voice lines, player icons, and victory poses. I have yet to get a summer skin.

I am working my ass off just for this skin only,

Yes, I love playing as McCree. Even though I do like Tracer's skin as well, I prefer McCree's patriotic outfit. Besides, I can't see Tracer's ass through her new skin anyway. Yes, I do love Tracer's ass, but that's besides the point.

Personally, I believe that this update was made for a quick buck. Think about it. The event is time-limited and the loot boxes are available to buy through microtransactions. Because I haven't gotten any legendary items, I assume you have a higher chance of getting better items by buying loot boxes. However, it's still a gamble anyways.

This update would be great if only there was a more efficient way of earning loot boxes at a faster rate. Most of us don't have the time to earn these loot boxes and don't want to buy them. It would have been cool to buy these loot boxes by using in-game credits.

Amazon's Battlefield 1 Collector's Edition: My Thoughts

Hey Guys, yes I am writing two articles today. Because I missed a couple of days and I feel like talking about this, I decided to write another article. Anyways, remember that Battlefield 1 Collector's Edition I talked about a while ago? Probably not because I barely remember it either.

This has to be one of the most confusing things that I have seen Amazon do. Even though I am not interested in buying collector's edition of video games in general, this caught my attention.

Amazon is offering the collector's edition without the game for $130. But hey, if you have Amazon Prime then it's only $104! It's about $190 for the collector's edition that comes with the game.

Although this may sound like a stupid idea, this really isn't that bad. Think about if for a moment. What if you already have the game, but you want the collector's edition? You could always buy this in order to avoid having an extra copy of the game. If you pre-order the game digitally, then this collector's edition of the game is also a good idea if you really want it.

However, nobody should be paying over a $100 for this collector's edition as of now! We don't know if the game will be broken by the time it comes out. It's already guaranteed that the servers will be jammed considering the amount of players who will be logged on day one.

Personally, I'm not sure if I should get Battlefield 1 day one. I will be buying the game, but I need to wait for either a review or when the servers are in stable conditions.

Mod support is coming to Fallout 4: My Thoughts

Hey Guys, most of us were waiting for this moment for what seems like forever. However, mod support is coming out in April.... for PC. This should not come as some surprise to any of us since it was already announced that mod support would come to PC.

According to Todd Howard, "It'll probably be a good month before it hits Xbox One, and another month for PlayStation 4". Should we really think it would be a good month before we Xbox One users get mod support? Probably not. We might have to wait a bit longer for mod support to come to consoles. Additionally, PC modkit tools are a lot more advanced than what we can get on a console. If mods did not work properly on a PC, then how do we expect to use them on weaker machines?

The point of this article isn't me getting pissed off that console peasants such as I have to wait longer. The point of this article is to address how grateful we should be that Bethesda is taking their time trying to release mod support in its best state possible.
Till Next Time!!

Why isn't there another season of D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die?

Hey Guys, this is something that I wanted to talk about for some time now, but I waited so long in hopes that another season of D4 will release. Hopefully, I'm having most of you just remembering this game. Or, most of you guys have totally forgotten this game since it's been a while since the game released.

Actually, the game was free for a while back in January. Most people either forgot about it due to how short it was or how long it has been since the game was available despite the fact that this game recently released on PC in June. Honestly, I expected popularity in the game to rise after PewDiePie started a walkthrough of it.

The reason as to why this game still does not have any new episodes is that the director of the game stated that the future of the game is based on "fan reaction" of season one. In other words, there will only be more episodes if the game is played by a large number of people.

The director wasn't kidding either. Even though the game received positive reviews from critics, there has been no word of another season. Actually, it's still a mystery if there will be any mention of this game at all. It's only recently going viral due to the fact it released on PC.

Will we ever see another episode of this game? All I can say is that I hope so. I just found the game to be pretty interesting due to its unique art style, awesome characters, and weird storytelling. The costume customization is pretty cool as well and the new costumes packs are free if I remember correctly. However, I found myself getting sore very easily having to use the Kinect for the whole game. Sorry, I'm not as active as I used to be.

Thanks for reading this article! I'll be sure to have another edition of Awful Craigslist sellers sometime tomorrow. Hopefully, something interesting happens in the gaming industry in the meantime as well.

ZombiU coming to Xbox One, PS4, and PC

Hey Guys, remember ZombiU? It was that one Wii U exclusive game that featured zombies and permanent deaths. You forgot about too? Actually, I almost did since it's been almost 3 years since the game released. However, Ubisoft has announced that Zombi is coming out on Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

The game will release on August 18, 2015 and is a digital-only game. Yes, the game has been optimized to work on Xbox One, PS4, and PC. Remember, the game actually focused the use on the Wii U gamepad, so it's kind of a miracle that they optimized the game to work without it.

I honestly don't expect too much out of this game. Reviews are pretty much all over the place for this game whether it be critics criticizing the controls or the combat. Additionally, the game might not hold up today because there's still a game called State of Decay that has a similar concept.

At the time of its release, ZombiU was actually unique. Not everyone has seen permanent deaths in a while, so it provided a challenge. If the price was $15 or less, then maybe it would be worth a buy because the game is still pretty old.

Five Nights at Freddy's 4 Now Available

Hey Guys, looks like the fourth installment in the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise has finally been released much earlier then expected.

You can purchase the game on Steam

As of today, the game is only available on Steam. The game originally was supposed to release on October 31st, but the game was then pushed back to August 8th. However, the game came out much earlier then expected.

I never played the game before as I just go on YouTube and watch other people play it. This is supposed to be the final game in the series, so hopefully every question in the game can finally be answered.

Till Next Time!!

Fallout Anthology coming to PC and it's amazing!

Hey Guys, if you thought the Pip-Boy Edition for Fallout 4 was awesome then you'll be in for a treat with this bundle.

Image provided by Polygon

This has to be one of the best video game bundles I have ever seen. Literally, this comes with pretty much ever game in the franchise but Fallout 4. The only real downside to this bundle is the fact that this is just available to PC users.

This bundle will be available on September 29th in the US, October 1st in Australia, and October 2nd in Europe. You ready to hear the price? Well, be prepared to get a heart attack. This bundle is only $50. 

You get 5 games that are filled with over hundreds of hours worth of gameplay for just $50. They all come in this replica mini-nuke too! If you have not played Fallout before, there is pretty much no reason for you not to buy this. Trust me, this bundle is worth the price tag and is just a steal at this price.

The only reasons why you wouldn't get it are you either don't play on PC or already have most/all the games. Otherwise, you need to get this if you never played Fallout or are a diehard Fallout fan. Great job, Bethesda! You guys did it again!

Till Next Time!!

Rise of the Tomb Raider coming to PS4 and PC

Hey Guys, it looks like Square Enix has finally announced that Rise of the Tomb Raider will be arriving on PC in "early 2016" while the PS4 version will be arriving in "Holiday 2016".

I still have more to say....

I really shouldn't be complaining since I am an Xbox users, but I will because it's still not fair! Seriously, I wrote a whole article as to how timed exclusivity is hurting the video game industry. However, this has to be the worst offense because it's lasting a whole year! Well, at least it's lasting a whole year for PS4.

If this it literally going to last a year for PlayStation users, this game has to be marked down dramatically if it wants to see a profit. Instead of selling it at $59.99, make it around $39,99! Nobody wanted to pay full price for a year-old game! Unless the game is content-fueled like Grand Theft Auto V.

By the way, there is no word for a PlayStation 3 version of the game being released either. If the game can be released on Xbox 360, then why not on PlayStation 3? People still do play on last-gen consoles.
Till Next Time!!

What is Rocket League?

Hey Guys, I haven't seen so many people going crazy over a game since Fallout 4. Rocket League is game that blends soccer and cars together to create this ultimate multiplayer experience. It really is the most simplistic idea I've ever seen, but it actually works!

Image provided by Kotaku

The game has 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4 multiplayer matches. Additionally, the game does have single player, but the game is best experienced with other players. I forgot to mention that this does the smart move by including splitscreen multiplayer! Wow, literally almost no AAA game titles include splitscreen anymore. Even Halo 5 will not have splitscreen despite being in previous Halo titles.

This game is also cross platform play! The game is only available on PS4 and PC, which means that people on these consoles can play with each other. It really does suck that Xbox One users don't get to experience this game, but I do see the game releasing later on the console.

The only thing bad that is said about the game is its servers, but this is only happening because there is so many people playing the game. As of July 17th, the game has been downloaded two million times and has over 155,000 concurrent players online! I'm not really surprised about this because no much else is going on in July and this game is trending.

This has to be the most unexpected game to release this year. The game is also free for PS + users, so there is no reason for you not to download this game! The game is $20 on Steam, but it seems that it's worth the money. 

Till Next Time!!

The Flock will be taken down once every player dies

Hey Guys, I never heard of this game before, but it's going viral after it's been revealed that the game will only be available as long as players are still alive. I thought this was a joke, but the developer was serious.

You can check out the game's official website here.

Players will take control of creatures from the flock and must fight each other to get this artifact that will turn them into a human. If you ever played a game of Griftball in Halo, then it's you should know it's a similar concept.

It's not known yet if the game does have permanent deaths or not. However, it been announced that the amount of lives that players have will be displayed in the menus, website, and subreddit. Essentially, there is a countdown to zero to let players know when the game is over with.

I actually think this was a creative marketing move! I never seen anything like this before happen in a video game. I think the whole idea that once the population hits zero then the game is gone is pretty cool. That means more people are likely to play it because they would never get a chance to since it's essentially available for a limited time. At the same time, this game better be $5 or less because I doubt anybody would pay more than $20 for this game if it's available for such a short time.

The game will be released on Windows, Linux, and OS X. Unfortunately, console players such as myself will not get a chance to experience this game. It's set to be released sometime in Q3 2015.
