Spyro Remastered Officially Coming

spyro remastered

It wasn’t long ago there was a rumor floating around about a Spyro trilogy remaster coming this year. That rumor was quickly said to be fake and was never coming at all much to the dismay of fans everywhere. Well now the release day is September 21st, and that is officially September 21st by the way. All built from the ground up for the PS4 and XB1 September will be a great time for Nostalgia fans. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Zoo Tycoon (Xbox One)

zoo tycoon

Zoo Tycoon is one of the more odd tycoon games I have played recently. The game looks good, but not great. The campaign is good, but most of the missions have but time limits. They are for the most part reasonable and aren’t all that like, usually no longer than 45 minutes at the most but many as low as 15 minutes.

The animals for the most part just wonder around their enclosures and every attempt I made to toss some deer in with the lions and tigers was met with the game telling me no. This is in every way a game about running a zoo and it won’t let you traumatize your patrons. This is probably for the best actually since the game is clearly meant for educational purposes. There is plenty to read and lots of fun to be had while you are at it.

The game also has plenty of challenges and even has a challenge mode as well as a sandbox mode.  However this is one of those games I would suggest getting on sale or if you have game pass playing on there. The game is fun, but or many it will get old quick. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Pokemon Switch Leaked Image?

DZoY5cRVMAIhf5s

Recently an image came out that allegedly is a leaked image of Pokemon for the Nintendo Switch. As always take this with a HUGE grain of salt. I got this from Dreamcast guy over on Twitter when he shared it and obviously he doesn’t know if its real nor does he claim it is. However if it is it really just looks like an up-scaled version of a 3DS game. I am actually pretty ok with that honestly, but many people will probably be disappointed.

My honest opinion tho, this probably is not from the Switch version of the game. I can’t see them not going all out in the long-awaited console version of the main series Pokemon game and I really can’t see this being the only leak to come out. Either way it could be an interest E3. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Far Cry 5 (Xbox One X)

far cry 5

Far Cry is one of those series that is notorious for certain things. For example climbing a ton of towers to reveal the map and find missions. A lot of damn towers, what feels like hundreds of towers. There is never hundreds of it them but it always feels like them. So early in Far Cry 5 I am climbing my first tower thinking ” Here we fucking go” and as I climb something unexpected happens, the game suddenly becomes self-aware and the guy makes a joke about not making me climb towers all over the county. You know what? 12 hours later I hadn’t climbed a single tower.

The story is pretty typical of the series, someone takes over some place, a guy helps free it from a madman using what can only be described as pretty much super human abilities even to he isn’t super human. This time around it’s a crazy cult leader that has taken Hope County in Montana. While it’s never truly said explicitly they seem to be taking a shot here at far right extremist in America. During one fire fight a cultist starts screaming at me about being a “snowflake” for example, and all of them are clearly insane and brainwashed. At another part a guy is using a huge cross to kinda beat a dead body, tho he may have been digging a hole. I was busy shooting him with an arrow to truly know.

Now before anyone thinks this is some sort of shot at Christians or Republicans hold on a minute. These are not Christians or Republicans. They truly are insane cultist. Everyone in the county are pretty much country folk that own guns, love god and America. There is even a priest helping you out and fighting to free Hope county.

I explain all this because I have seen a few people saying they won’t buy the game because they are clearly being political and attacking America or Christians and I have seen a few reviews say it could have been a good game but they clearly are making a political statement. None of this is true. It is simply a game that takes place in an area that would in reality have a lot of guns and religious people and would be a likely place for a cult to pop up.

Graphically the game looks beautiful on the Xbox One X and at no time did I ever experience any slow down or frame rate loss even when a lot was going on and bullets were flying. The sounds are immersive and the music very fitting. There are however  a few in-game glitches that are worth noting. For example I have experienced enemies randomly re-spawning after I kill them to attack me again numerous times. Not in the I leave the area or anything. Just drop them and they stand back up and attack. Enemies have also floated, once I even saw a car do it. Nothing game breaking but it should be noted that these things do happen. The game however is worth playing, and it has my full recommendation. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Sea of Thieves First Legendary Pirate

download (2)

Among the many complaints of the lack of content for Sea of Thieves is the forgotten by many fact that there is post game content not yet seen by anyone. Maxing out all factions at level 50 gets you the rank of Pirate Legend, something nobody had done, until recently. A Twitch streamer as reported by IGN became the first to accomplish this.

Now some people have claimed he cheated by streaming and when his viewers had loot asking to join them, selling it for the money and experience, then just moving on to the next person tho honestly take this with a HUGE grain of salt. I can’t on any way confirm this and as is common with the internet people like to get jealous or simply repeat rumors,I only mention it to make people aware the rumor does exist. Regardless, congrats to the first Pirate Legend. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

No Man’s Sky Xbox One

nms

Not long ago an ambitious game was released that disappointed many, No Man’s Sky. It lack many of the features that were said would be there, the game was mostly just collecting resources just to fly to the next planet and do the same thing and the creatures looked very off. The game was a lot of fun for people who enjoyed that type of game, but many were very much not happy.

Hello Games however did eventually start releasing updates to correct this, some small some large. Many of the promised features were added and the game has greatly improved.  Hello Games announced the biggest update yet, titled Next. Not much is known besides the fact that it will be free. But that isn’t the biggest announcement they had. With 4k and HDR support it will also launch for the Xbox One and with Xbox one X enhancements.  So until then, stay safe and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Borderlands 3 Rumors

download

This one should be filed under take with a grain of salt, but be hopeful because really its about that time, according to comicbook.com and other sites we may be getting an official reveal of Borderlands 3 just before E3 this year. Many people have mixed feelings about this with Borderlands 2 being considered one of the all time greats but the Pre-sequel being considered meh by many some worry BL3 won’t be able to hold up.

With that being said Gamerant reports that much of the information and a recent leak very much appears to be fake and the evidence for such is very compelling tho even they admit that the game seems like it will be coming before March 2019. With E3 right around the corner we won’t have long to wait, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

 

A Way Out

a way out

Here is the concept for  A Way Out, 2 guys in prison must break out, go on a revenge mission. There is a small catch here tho. This game must be played with a friend, and both in-game characters have very different personalities and ways of doing things. Every so often the 2 players that must choose one of the 2 characters will have to pick which idea to take.

Leo is more of the loose cannon hardened criminal type. He meets things more head one.  Vincent on the other hand is more down to earth and thought out. That isn’t to say he isn’t willing to go off the deep end a bit, at one point you end up torturing a guy together.

The game play itself is smooth and the game while not the best looking game is still quite beautiful, I had no complaints in this department, especially at the $30 price point it’s offered at. The game does run a little on the short side, but this is most likely so people can play through multiple times with various people. The game is actually one of the few games I have played that required 2 players that I honestly did not mind the requirement. Also the fact that one person can download the free trial then play the full game with someone who owns the game is fantastic in itself. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
