Far Cry 5

7mKjKAh7E4gcwa3GpQv9MZ-320-80  Once again a Far Cry game seems to have some controversy surrounding it. Far Cry 3 pissed a lot of people off simply because it was a rich white guy in a seemingly African nation shooting black people playing hero. Which hey i understand the sentiment but its a video game. Chill. Far Cry 5 takes place in America, North Montana to be more specific.

The general plot as we know so far is a bat shit crazy Christian cult is basically murdering people and forcibly converting people. For the first time you play a created character that must save the day. Seems like pretty standard game stuff. Good people fight bad people and away we go.

Now here is where the controversy comes in. Many people are now claiming its an attack an Christianity and making white people look evil and some are asking where all the black and Hispanic people are. Well if you care to look up census data and read through it (it sucks) you will see that about 90% of North Montana is white people. Just like when it was pretty much all black people in a nation modeled after Africa. Its called building a believable world.

The biggest flaw to the claim this game is attacking white people and Christians is i personally don’t know any Christians that behave that way. I will even go further and say i don’t know any Americans that act that way, not personally at least tho I’m sure a few exist. At the and of the day if you see this game as an attack on you and your race or religion the problem is not the game, the problem is with you. People in society shouldn’t act the way the people in this game do and the only reason to be offended is either you do behave this way or you want to behave this way, and that is simply wrong either way.

At the end of the day the gaming gods love us all, and we should endeavor to love each other or at least not be a pain in the ass. So as always, thanks for joining me, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Look, i don’t much know what to say about Nintendo. They came out swinging from the word go. New Kirby game in 2018 that appears to offer plenty of multiplayer fun as well as a new Yoshi’s woolly world which honestly looks amazing. Another huge game offered up with no details beyond its being developed is for the first time there with be a core rpg version of Pokemon will indeed be on the switch, however with nothing to really show with it i think its safe to assume that it is at least a year maybe closer to 2 years away. Now this next statement is 100% opinion and i have ZERO evidence for this, so don’t go spreading this around as fact. It would not surprise me to see some sort of Pokemon go type mechanic to it where if you are far enough away from the docking port new stuff shows up, but again that’s just something I am personally expecting and would like to see,

Another very good-looking game they showed off is Xenoblade Chronicles 2 that will be releasing this holiday season as well as Fire Emblem Warriors, another classic Nintendo series many will be excited to see on the switch.

Now as you may have guessed, or been wondering about that huge number 4 up top, a surprise that probably 10 years in the waiting, Metroid Prime 4 is confirmed to be coming to the Nintendo Switch, while there is no official release date for it you can be sure it will be a huge deal when we finally get one. We also know why Nintendo got so pissed over the fan made Metroid game a little while back, turns out Metroid: Samous Returns will be launching September 15th of 2017 which was one of a few surprises after their event ended.

To no surprise at all, new Breath Of The Wild content will also be released, a sort f last man standing mode that eventually will get you an indestructible Master Sword, which I am sure players will love, tho there will be more content beyond that.

Other news included Splatoon 2 coming to switch in July as well as Rocket League this holiday season that will cross play with Steam and Xbox One tho Sony is still hesitant to join which to me is understandable. While id LOVE to play cross-platform (tho i own an xbox anyway) it doesn’t really benefit Sony to join something they started years ago that companies avoided.

Now last but certainly not least was…well let the Trailer speak for itself below.

Yup, that is the new Mario game and I have to be honest, it looks rather weird but at the same time i want to play it. Mario in the real world just seems off to me, but hey I am willing to give it a try. So until next time thanks for reading, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
