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

[Agiel]

 

Remember Watchdogs.

 

 

 

Trust no one.

Oh trust me, I don't trust them.

 

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.

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.

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...

Swery would be proud.

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.

Titam Quest getting an expansion.

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.
