RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS - 'NON-FAKE-NEWS EDITION'

Remember Watchdogs.

 

 

 

Trust no one.

Oh trust me, I don't trust them. :p

 

It's just that I always set my expectations low when it comes to Ubi games.

 

The only redeeming factor I am looking forward to when it comes to Far Cry 5 is some open world shooting and driving. Far Cry 2 had an awful story but my god do I still love that fictional African setting. I could just roam around, look at the scenery and do nothing else. Far Cry 5 looks like the perfect Southern U.S hiking simulator and I haven't played a game with a similar setting.

 

 

P.S: Far Cry 6 should be set in the barren wastelands of Antarctica...seriously, they had that in mind at some point.

 

 

Back in January of 2016 a friend of mine fresh from watching The Revenant came up with the idea that that if time period was not a factor (as Far Cry: Primal was what was in the works at the time) then Ubisoft should make one set in the Unorganised Territories in the early 19th Century.

“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”
 
-Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>>
Quote

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

-Rod Serling

EA and Burger King are working close with one another so that the next time you order a burger you'll have to mop the floor for 10 hours in order to get your fries. It gives you a sense of "accomplishment" apparently...

If you tell people ahead of time, they'll be okay with it. However, it's when you surprise them, then they get angry lol

 

Kinda like what happened with Denuvo's recent situations.

Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother?

 

What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest.

 

Begone! Lest I draw my nail...

I posted this in the Way Off Topic (Movie Thread) partof the forum but since it IS gaming related, I decided I will post it here as well... plus some people don't check the Way Off Topic portion - lucky for them, heh.

 

 

 

 

Looks like that classic arcade machine game "Rampage" got some sort of AAA budget movie adaptation. Yes, it's real...

Looks like the new SW game is not only Gamblefront, but also Buggyfront as well.

 

NSFW gameplay :-)

Word of saying is, that EA has disabled Lootboxes in Europe. This might be response to some countries starting investigating the game as a gambling.

EA disabled RMTs for all regions. The premium currency, crystals, were pulled from all stores last night.

I'm surprised:

Titam Quest getting an expansion.

What the...? I just listed this game among my top 25 games of all time, and know I have an expansion to try out after all these years! :aiee:

But not permanently. They will most likely come back after Christmas sales.

Of course microtransactions are coming back at some point. They have plans for continued development and everyone shy of... I can't think of anyone since the early 2000s actually, has some additional monetization plan if they're also doing continued development.

 

They said they won't bring them back until they've made changes. I know they've said they want to offer accelerated experience, or whatever, so hopefully that's just an XP or credit boost for the new system they change to and cosmetic skins.
