PS4 Passes 90 Million Units Sold — BeardedGamer82 Gaming Blog

PS4 Passes 90 Million Units Sold Kenichiro Yoshida, CEO of Sony, announced at Sony’s Press Conference at CES that the PS4 has sold 91.6 million consoles. These sales numbers were helped by a strong 2018 holiday season which saw 5.6 million consoles sold. This is a phenomenal number which skyrocketed it further from Xbox 360 […]

This should surprise nobody at this point as the PS4 has been a powerhouse in the sales department for years now, and most likely 2019 will be the year the console tops the 100 million mark. Not only that it may very well surpass the Wii and original PlayStation. Tho the PS2 and it’s 155 million is most likely out of reach with talk of the PlayStation floating around. Regardless, not too shabby. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Possible Fantastic Four Video Game Teased

In a sentence I thought I would never type, or maybe hoped since I personally am not a fan, Comicbook.com is reporting that Marvel is teasing a Fantastic Four video game. Feel free to check the link for all the details but for me, this just seems like a bad idea with much of the goodwill with fans outside the comic world seemingly lost with the atrocity that is the Fantastic Four movies.

That isn’t to say a game with them can’t be good, I can imagine smashing away as The Think or burning the world up with The Human Torch. I just can’t in good conscience think hey this will be good after having sat through the movies, and while yes the game clearly will be made by someone else entirely I just can’t be excited by this idea. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Fallen Legion: Flames Of Rebellion

Fallen Legion: Flames of Rebellion is an action RPG, the story of magic and a grimoire, and an entire world created to tell a story. Both sides of the story technically, in two separate games.

You start out at a war and the death of an emperor. Much of how the world works is actually hidden in the menus and is easy to find. It isn’t long before you find out The kings’ daughter Octavia will take over and a talking grimoire will help. Tho it does feed on souls.

The issue is while the game looks good, the gameplay itself is rather boring. You will mostly be mashing X, Square or circle and occasionally cast a spell with the triangle button. The sad fact is, nothing in this game was fun for me. The story was pretty much the same as usual in games. An evil entity controls someone, someone tries to stop it, an empire in danger. The combat is mostly button mashing with attempts at blocking attacks with L1.

The game also doesn’t do so well on Metacritic either for the PS4 or Vita versions. The game is just not well received and with good reason. Yes, it has its fans, but I wouldn’t count on you being one. Thankfully it is free this month on PSN, so feel free to try it and tell me what you think. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Knights of Pen and Paper 2 Deluxe Edition (PS4)

Full disclosure here I never played the first Knights of Pen and Paper tho there is a bundle that gets you both of these games. I walked into this having no idea what to expect, but I bought it anyway because it looked like D&D as a pixel RPG. To be 100% honest, that is what this is. See that guy sitting at the table? He is the dungeon master. Those people are your characters. Essentially unless you buy a new table, which is something you can actually do, they all have some sort of effect, you will sit here and go about your adventure.

As you travel the background will change and the enemies will appear behind the dungeon master as he tells the story and you go on the quest and travel the world. The battle system is typical turn-based and each time you level up you will get points to put into skills of the characters you created.

The characters you create are more or less based on what you chose, you can choose a dwarf, human or elf and give them certain personalities such as being a cheerleader or such. The whole thing is pretty interesting.

The story isn’t bad but is actually quite silly, the tutorial even gets interrupted when someone realizes that 2nd edition and 1st edition characters can’t mix. This is a recurring theme and the humor is the selling point of the game. For  D&D fans and old-school RPG fans, this one is worth the buy. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Some Lord Of The Rings Games Removed From Digital Stores

Gamespot, as well as others, are reporting that Lego: The Lord of the Rings and Lego: The Hobbit have been removed from digital stores possibly due to licensing rights expiring. Unlike games like Middle Earth: Shadow of War the lego games contain music and dialogue from the actual movies which could be why they were removed. Either way, they are gone possibly forever. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Elite Dangerous Distant Worlds 2 Decision

The other day I asked you guys about Elite Dangerous, Distant Worlds 2. Should Savior Make The Trip? and talked to people on Twitter and Facebook as well. Well, the decision has been made that I shall make the trip to Beagle Point. Starting January 13th I will dive into the Elite Dangerous community as a member of the Distant Worlds community as both an Explorer and member of their Media wing of the expedition. The plan is to spend time exploring on my way to each checkpoint while meeting new people and hopefully getting their take on the entire experience as well as passing on my own experience.

As I experienced on my trips to both Sagittarius A and Colonia the sheer amount of time and jumps it takes to get places in itself can cause many to fail whether they simply turn around or self destruct their own ship to get home when they can’t take it anymore. So wish me luck as I try to make one of the longest trips people can make in the game, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Fromsoftware Working on Two Unannounced Games

It was recently announced by Dark Souls director, Hidetaka Miyazaki, that Fromsoftware is, in fact, working on not one but two totally unannounced games, both of which are the type of game people expect from them. He also took the time to say the Bloodborne Easter eggs in Deracine were simply that, Easter eggs and have no hidden meaning.

This had lead to much speculation, are we getting Bloodborne 2 and one person I saw even suggested this means we are getting both Bloodborne 2 and Dark Soul 4. I don’t think we will be getting both, but I will say I honestly believe one of the two games is either Dark Souls 4 or Bloodborne 2. I Don’t think it is both, but both games would sell an insane amount of copies and with Bloodborne coming out in 2015 and Dark Souls 3 coming out in 2016 now would be as good a time as any for the return of those series. And since Bloodborne was 2015 and we did just get a Dark Souls Remaster, I would bet on Bloodborne. Either way, it will be interesting. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Elite Dangerous, Distant Worlds 2. Should Savior Make The Trip?

The question seems simple, but the trip and expedition will require some explanation. See Elite Dangerous works off its own time, currently, it is 3303 (tomorrow will be 3304) and back in 3302 there was a place someone went to on the far side of the life-sized galaxy. In fact, it is so big most of it has never been seen. Well someone went to a place that is now known as Beagle Point and back in 3302 a huge group of people went there.

On January 13th, a new group that is over 4000 people will go again. over 65 thousand light years and 20 weeks of travel will end on the far side of the galaxy. There is more info here but really the question is, would any of you be interested in me making the trip? They have various roles to fill and I could sign up as a member of the media to write about and chronicle the entire trip. Obviously, I would take pictures and update you guys weekly on the progress me and others have mad, but I don’t want to invest the time if there is no interest so please, let me know what you think and my the gaming gods bring you glory. I have also included some pics from my previous travels for you guys to get some examples of what I would be sharing.
