EA Devs Mock Battlefield V Hate, Get Political & Pledge To Fight On...?

So if you not have heard Battlefield V has been released and it's not doing very good, physical sales are down to more than half on Battlefield 1, And the game has significantly discounted by 50% which is not a good sign because it technically launched 2 weeks ago.

But the big reason for it not doing so well is because of Electronic Arts (EA) creating divisions, It all started with the debut trailer of Battlefield V which many didn't understand what Dice was going for as it came up as a goofy steampunk game, It was later confirmed that it was a World War 2 historical shooter game but immediately accusations of the game not being historically accurate was thrown EA's way and it was based on the fact that the debut trailer a big focus that likely was on purpose is on prosthetic armed female British soldier on the front line which never happened, And there was another soldier carrying a katana which was out of the place, But many players saw these design decisions as Dice's way of rewrite history, World War 2 was fought mostly by men, Yes there were female soldiers but as far as I understand there weren't any prosthetic armed female British soldiers on the front lines.

The debut trailer of Battlefield V would be bombed by with dislikes and negative comments with a lot of peoples using hashtags, not my battlefield.

Anyway things really escalated when EA's executive and former boss of dice Patrick Soderlund gave an interview at E3 2018 and pretty much took a stance against those who were complaining about the game, Although the issue with his remarks that he made it out to be specifically about women in Battlefield V which I think never been a problem as some women certainly did serve, But the way Dice included them in the game is something many took issue with, Some seeing it as disrespectful, But Patrick Soduland made things much worse when he says the following: "on the women in Battlefield this is something that the development team pushed. Battlefield V is a lot about the unseen, The untold, The unplayed... The common perception is that there was no woman in world war 2, There were a ton of woman who fought in World War 2 and partook in the war. And I felt like in today's world I have a 13 years old daughter that when the trailer came out and she saw all the flak, And she asked me " Daddy, Why is this happening?" and she plays fortnight and says " I can be a girl in fortnite, Why people are so upset about this?" she looked at me and she couldn't understand it. And I'm like ok, As a parent, How the hell am I going to respond to this ? and I just said"you know what, Your right, This is not ok" 
these are people who are uneducated - they don't understand that this is a plausible scenario And listen: This is a game. and today gaming is gender-reversed, Like it hasn't been before, There are a lot of female people who want to play, and male players who want to play as a badass woman, And we don't take any flak, We stand up for the cause, Because I think those people who don't understand it, well you have two choices: either accept it or don't but the game, I'm fine with either or, It's just not ok."

So yeah calling your player uneducated and giving them an ultimatum is bad for business which in my opinion Patrick is twisting players compliments into an issue over women being in the game, also making a comparison between fortnight and a World War 2 historical game seems a bit foolish.

However, no matter what your opinions on those comments or this whole issue, in general, it created divisions and for a while, angry gamers have been using the hashtag not my battlefield and other ones to state their displeasure with battlefield V.

Forbess Eric Kane pointed out " Much of the marketing has been geared toward attracting female players, apparently with a female soldier on the cover and an emphasis on female characters on single-player vignettes, I'm perfectly fine with the woman in the game like this, And have no bone to pick up with that decision, But it is an incredibly an odd marketing choice given that this game A) predominantly played by young men and boys and B) is a historical shooter about a war predominantly fought by young men and boys.
I suggest marketing the game as a traditional WWII entry (similar to Battlefield 1) would have been far more effective."

That is exactly right, it seems that EA really just shot themselves in their foot and in fall 2018 there were many other games releasing which would you think an entertainment company will be trying to persuade their core audience and consumers to buy their game.

But in all honesty, EA gave a lot of reasons to pick up games like black ops 4 and Red Dead Redemption 2 as their cane went on to add "More than anything, It seems like EA and Dice are simply very out-of-touch with their target demographic. By all means, include woman in the game, but don't try to earn brownies points by making it seem like you are championing some social cause. EA wants to make money, Not to change the world.
I just want a good WW2 shooter."

Bethesda Lies, Gave Influencers Fallout 76 Canvas Bags For Free In September

The biggest issue right now that I'm having with Bethesda is the lies, And the past was a fun joke is Todd Howard often sais some things about this game that didn't come true.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, A YouTuber made a great compilation of some Todd's little sweet lies, But this whole mess with Fallout 76 is a lot different, And I would say it's a lot different because the product release was just abysmal, It was bad, Which is really strange because Bethesda in the past as a publisher really empathized pushing out quality games, Last year they bragged about being the savior of single-player games, It even got rewarded by the Metacritic top publisher in 2017 based on the fact that they had the highest review scores for all the games combined they were released last year by them.

Even in the past, they canceled games that supposedly were not up to their quality standards, Pete Hines said in 2014 about their decision to cancel prey 2 which at the time was being developed by the human head studio where a game we believed in we never felt like it got where it needed to be, We never saw a path to success if we finished it, It wasn't up to our quality standards and we decided to cancel it, It's no longer under development, It's a franchise that we still believe we can do something with, We just need what something is, And eventually we will see that franchise rebooted with our canes underrated take on it last year.

 But this is what confuses me, In the past, Bethesda cared about quality, But what the hell happened here in 2018 with Fallout 76?

We all know that they are rushing to release but was it that they needed to get Fallout 76 out this year because they had no other big releases in 2018? Or do they just think they can release a half-assed game and fix it later like so many other developers have done? 

They are so many questions on how this game was allowed to release in its current state, but just outside of the game it seems like the Bethesda has done a lot of rushing, The big controversy that is raging on right now is that the power armor edition of Fallout 76 which is also the collector's edition that did not come out with everything that was promised, Specifically Bethesda chose to change the west tech duffel bag from canvas to nylon without notifying anyone, then tried to make excuses that it was too expensive and they soon said that the original reason that an employee who was necessarily connected to the company was inaccurate, and the real reason that there was a shortage in material although that doesn't make too much sense being that this isn't some extremely rare material and if you think that 200$ special edition  would be planned way ahead of time but like everything with Fallout 76 it was probably rushed and it was for money which point being Bethesda chose to make a larger profit over satisfying their most loyal customers, I mean if you think that this was not for money then they would have upgraded the bag not downgraded it, But even now Bthesda has declared the Special Edition one of their best which is a strange way to respond to anger over not giving player what they promised.

Now the issue with Bethesda not delivering what they promised is that they never told about the change in material to cheap nylon, They also never made an effort to change the Power Armour advertisement which is misleading, Something that many are asking and wanting the government agencies like the US Federal Trade Commission to investigate as this is blatant false advertising something that legally Bethesda can get in trouble for.

Besides just a potential FTC investigation law firms are already reaching out and trying to put a class-action lawsuit which I have to believe it's a case and based on Bethesda's refund policy on their store, Nobody can get a refund on Fallout 76 Power Armour Edition because it is a limited edition, and right now it a problem as Bethesda misled a bunch of customers, Although Bethesda is offering a crappy 500 atoms which are their make-believe currency for Fallout 76 to those affected.

The interesting thing about this is that this may be a legal trickery, So if you accept this offer under the law then you have been compensated and can't do legal action or fight for a refund later, Just be very careful because if you are not satisfied with this Nylon Power Armour Edition I believe Bethesda is obligated to give on what they originally promised unless you take 5 dollars in-game currency which in my opinion is quite pathetic.

But today there has been a very interesting update which continues to show Bethesda in a negative light, It's been outdated by a YouTuber HeelvsBabyFace that many influencers received free canvas bags of the green brayer event that happened back in September, If you recall this is where a bunch of YouTuber and gaming websites got to go and play Fallout 76 for the first time, And part of the trip of being flown to West-Virginia Bethesda Gave these content creators some free merchandise.

Now obviously none of these creators deserve any hate at all, They were just invited to an event and they had no way of knowing how badly Bethesda Would Bomb with Fallout 76, But the most telling part of these canvas bags is that Bethesda But and effort to get these influencers a high-quality bag when they could not do for their most loyal fans who coughed up to 200$ and that is extremely concerning and if I spent 200$ on The Power Armor Edition then all of this news would feel like a spit to my face from Bethesda, Still up to this point there has been no real apology from Bethesda, And what bothers me is that this canvas bag debacle is that I think there wasn't a shortage in materials but just mismanagement, and that's the best way to describe the whole Fallout 76 mess.

Fallout 76 Sales Down 82% - Fans Have Spoken

One of Fallout 76 biggest mysteries has just been solved, Why the hell they call it Fallout 76, well as it just turned out it was just Bethesda guessing how much this sale would drop from Fallout 4, Well they were wrong they should have called it 82.

The critic reviews may not be in for Fallout 76 just yet but what we do have are the opening weekend sales figures, According gamesindustry.biz Fallout 76 sales are down a whopping 82% over the Fallout's previous franchise entry fallout 4.

I must point out that these sales figures are only in the UK physical and retail and don't represent global sales, digital sales or trending decline in physical sales, despite it's falling sales Fallout 76 still managed to take the third place in the UK charts behind first-place Spyro Reignited Trilogy and second place Red Dead Redemption 2.

Clues as to why consumers have stayed away from the title aren't exactly difficult to find in places like Youtube and Reddit are rife with stinging critiques of the game, People are unhappy that it's an online multiplayer game are not a true sequel to Fallout 4 that it doesn't appeal to the core audience, There was the limited BETA test which opened only a few weeks prior to launch isn't even BETA at all at that stage, Much of the game seems like it has been copied over fallout 4, lock picking, hacking, and shoddy animations included.

There is poor performance across all the platforms, The PC version doesn't offer simple features like MOV slider and the framerates are locked at 63 FPS, As also the fact it isn't selling on steam there is also no human NPC's in the game and the world just feels empty, and the pvp actually sucks, the enemies buggy, has broken quests, glitches, crashes, instability etc.

This game makes Fallout 4 look good in comparison, there is also the fact that reviews from gaming outlets are nowhere to be seen, The Metacritic scores for Xbox and PS4 are currently ZERO  as not enough of outlets published reviews, Yet the PC reviews are showing us 54% based on four reviews, and that's all the consumers have to go on right now it's pretty slim pickings, You can't put that down to a crowded release window or just that reviewers did not have access to the game prior to launch they are all probably busy playing Red Dead Redemption 2 or Battlefield or Spyro, Reviewers aren't reviewing it and consumers arent's buying it

With Hacking And Cheating And Bugs - Is Bethesda Out Of Time?

So I was excited, I was waiting for so long to play Fallout 76 but I have been hearing some BAD news about it, so here goes.

Bethesda is about to release their multiplayer game Fallout 76, the game is currently in BETA but with a lot of issues, fans are getting worried.

It was a rocky start for fallout 76 even before the game an officially announced, with what is traditionally a single player franchise now making move to online multiplayer territory fallout 76 developers Bethesda are trading new ground, unfortunately for Bethesda Kotaku's Jason Schreyer leaked details of online-only game to the public before the official announcement, the community obviously started raising questions and we're also asking why Bethesda chosen to make the game exclusively an online experience against a serious tradition , this is not the start Bethesda would have wanted for the game especially they have to convince the fans of changes in the first place, ever since those only negative headlines things seem  to have gone from bad to worse for the Bethesda with an increasing amount of people being not happy for the game for one reason or another.

With early access beta now available, Bethesda have been hit with yet more criticism of the game with talk of poor performance bug glitches and exploits, one of the more notable issues was for PC players when they discovered the framerate was locked.

Last week a Reddit user named Otto 3:3 discovered that the framerate problem could be solved by editing an ini file but Bethesda apparently had good reasons to lock the frame rate in the first place , as unlocking it results in a speed hack this means that players can move through the world with increased movement speed potentially giving them an edge over other players for PVP, In an update to polygon Bethesda confirmed that they are aware of this issue but the fix won't be out until the game launches.

To answer the problem according to modern and ahir who spoke to an Eurogamer "the core of Fallout 76 is basically identical to Fallout 4", with Fallout 76 being an updated version of the Fallout 4 engine, the modding community are very familiar on how to mod the game , and with them already having to the tools and experience to break apart this multiplayer game, many have raised the concern that cheats mods could quickly become a problem in this online-only PVP experience.

Modding fallout for single player only game only alters your own personal experience while modding Fallout 76 an online based multiplayer based experience will impact other people in the game world who may not want mods in the game.

 A Reddit thread by a user named teetharejustdone2 (what kind of name is that?) was gaining traction recently which details five reasons while using the old engine of fallout into six maybe wasn't the best idea, the first since responded to the issues saying "Many of the claims in the thread are either inaccurate or based on incorrect assumptions. The community has however called to attention several issues that our teams are already actively tracking and planning to roll out fixes for" "Our goal is always to deliver a great experience for all our player. Cheating or hacking will not be tolerated. We know our fan base is passionate about modding and customizing their experience in our world's and it's something we intend to support down the road" Fallout 76 is just now a week away we can just now imagine how this bad publicity can affect the sales and public perception of once industry darlings Bethesda.

Party Time For Activision

The latest entry in the call of duty franchise black ops 4 has just smashed in the opening of this weekend , making over a half million dollars sales.

"Black ops is off to a blockbuster start" said Rod cuastic executive vice president and general manager of call of duty to business wire .

This is a huge course-correct for the series after many fans seem to fall off with the annual release franchise with the launch of infinte warfare back in 2016 which received 77 on Ps4 on metacritic.

Last year's COD World War 2 returned the franchise on the 20th century root and fared a little better but only received 79 on ps4 on metacritic.

Thats not to say that COD World War 2 didn't do good , it also made a half million in launch sales which doubled infinite warfare launch.

With black ops 4 doing so well in terms of sales and critical reception currently setting at 85 on ps4 metacritic , This is a big win for activision.

Black ops 4 is also setting new franchise record for most combined players, average hours per player and a total number of hours played on current generation consoles according to business wire.

The game is also most viewed on twitch in franchise history according to business wire which can only further it's popularity, Without less noting the absence of campaign and the addition of the very popular Blackout battle royal mode making the all difference .

The game has still a little way to go before reaching monolithic success of it's Ps3 and Xbox 360 gyro cousins, with modern warfare 2 and black ops 1 and 2 taking the top spots with all three games having around 30 million units sold each as of January 2018.

If the enormous success of World War 2 and Black Ops 4 are recently anything to go by, the franchise does seem to be making a comeback.

This post is much smaller than my normal posts because I'm busy with other stuffs... another post will be coming tommorow .

Before You Buy Call Of Duty Black Ops 4

Today I'm talking about call of duty black ops 4, I have been playing the hell out of this game since it dropped, I,m gonna bring this down by modes since each is pretty much fully featured stand alone thing.

In this Post I will be talking about multiplayer but tommorow i well continue with the zombies mode.

But overall in the whole package do you hate call of duty?... well you're probably still going to , are you a dye hard fan? well i'm not but the game seems pretty good to me and if you are like me who has been a fan who has been a fan from the beginning but dropped off the multiplayer train for a last few games, Well this feels like a pretty good package except the package is missing a goddamned single player campaign but I will get to that.

Let's start off with your standard competitive multiplayer .

I like having a health bar again...call me old fashioned but it feels good to have something like that to manage , I think that the fact that now it's  mechanic that you have to work in your muscle memory makes a big difference in moment-to-moment gameplay, shooting though otherwise it feels like Call Of Duty , love it or hate it, Its really good it's controls are really tight and it's super fast-paced , it also feels the same as usual.

The speacialist work really well this time , the focus on them is just enough to not feel obnoxious but also add a smart level of strategy .

It bums me out that you can't customize them from head to toe clothing items you earn through leveling up ,but seriously learning the ins and outs of them is pretty fun. It takes light elements from hero shooters in terms of mechanics but let me be clear , This isn't like Overwatch or anything don't worry.

But certain abilities work really well for certain wither for defend yourself or to counter or screw up you're opponent, It's just satisfying when you use nine banks thumb gernade perfectly in a room or you let your cool dog do all the work you get a downward slam explosion or you just fortify your shit really well and block off some lanes .

On the other hand maps have a nice kind of standard COD looks to them nothing crazy and over the top futristic with some good close quarters sections and creative areas too , I'm not an expert with maps stuffs so I don't know how they will work out long term but some scenarios and lanes feel creative enough to me .

Now progression is the best in standard multiplayer , building out you class is absolute necessity and there are tons of challenges and tasks to complete to level up a lot to grind through perks and lots of weapon stuff , That pick-ten system is still great i really love that it's here and i'm glad that it's here .

You have a lot of controlls over how play considering you have to choose a specific character and i'm so glad it feels that way, grinding through the ranks is call of duty's style for since the modern warfare and you well probably get addicted.

Body armor is a selectable thing and it is shaking up the thing a lot , it pissed me off on occasions but it makes the game feel a tiny bet diffirent, peoples seem to be kind of divided on it and the game and the community will evovle over time so i don't want to say anything difinitive on it yet.

The Red Dead Redemption 2 Facts That Will SURPRISE YOU

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a huge game the biggest that Rockstar developers have created , In fact the game have been in production for a full seven years and it's the most anticipated game of the year by a long way,

Regardless of what some internet polls would suggest the script for the main story is some 200 pages long and thats just the main story without side missions and any dialogue included, for context the full script for this years ranching story based Sony exculsive Detroit Become human was also 200 pages .. like the whole thing, The animations in RDR took a total of 2200 days of motion capture work, Thats whole 6 years if you count them consecutively , 1200 Actors worked on the production which 700 of them have dialogue.

Dan Houser Producer Rockstar saying :"We're The Biggest Employers Of Actors In Terms Of Number Of Anyone In New York, By Miles" .

The finished game includes 300000 Animations although it isn't clear how many of these animations are for horse testicles because yeah apparently thats the thing.

The game also features 500000 lines of dialogue, Half a million lines of dialogue with even non playable characters having up to 80 pages of dialogue each.

Not everything produced for the game made final cut, However reportedly five hours of 65 hour game were dumped, The dumping includes the second interest for a protagonist Arthur Morgan and a whole lot of missions were removed due to technical reasons.

One of this areas which featured the most improvement in the additions of the previous installment is the weapons in the game, The game will reportedly have over 50 weapons all of which will be customizable, This applies to revolvers and rifles which can be outfitted with both athletic and practical changes using a variety of materials such as different woods and metals which can be varnished and engraved, The player can customize their arsenal to create a truly unique outlaw in this western .

Scopes barrels and grips can be changed on different weapons to alter their performance and stats, This reinforces what Rockstar have already posted about each weapon feeling distinctive meaning that the players have to decide the right tool for the task, You will have to maintain your firearms this time however as in Red Redemption 2 the weapons will degrade over time and may jam while shooting, Additionaly the players are now able to chose a different ammo types, The examples that Rockstar gave are the split point which probably deals extra damage to unprotected enemies , High velocity which will help out to deal with rapid moving targets and explosives.

These new types of ammo will be purchasable in the in-game store but also can be crafted with certains types of materials.

Red Dead Redemption 2 will launch on October on 26th for PS4 and Xbox 1 , You may wanna clear some space in your hard disks however with the install size for the game coming at 105 gigabytes and 88.5 gigabytes respectively .

Sony's Playstation Secret

The ps4 and xbox both launched five years ago back in 2013 which means its a high time for a next gen console details to get thrown in the room now.

However these rumors don't come from some anonymous source claiming to have an access to xbox 720 dev kit, Instead the sony themselves who have ignited rumors regarding obviously title to playstation 5, On October the second sony published a patent ... or a patent.... whatever you wanna call it though they described us remastering emulation.

What does that mean this mean exactly ?

the patent involves a form of emulation that will replace textures from old games optimizing them for modern displays , That's right ... it appears that sony  are working on backwards compatibility something that xbox1 has had over the ps4 for sometime now .

The pattern also details the remastering of old titles won't just affect the textures but also the game's audio files.

Due to the timing of this pattern being published many have been quick to assume that this will be the technology that will show up in Playsation 5 , There is however a big gap between the date when this was published in October of this year and the date of when it was filed back in November 2016 .

It appears the way this patent works that it takes the textures that are already in the olden days and emulates them and changes them and makes them look like better . Very cool to tighten up those rag edges on those old games and make them look like 1080p as opposed to like the 240 or whatever the hell we had back in days .

So the fact that sony is working on this backwards compatibility by emulation thing they started this back in November 2016 , Will this is when the patent was filed so obviously they are working on the prior to that too.

This is some retaliation to Microsoft in the fact that they have got such a strong backwards  compatibility option , Are they doing it to compete for the next generation consoles? is there anything to do the next generation wasn't just they want to compete with Microsoft .

I don't think there is anything that can be gleaned from this and you can't make any assumptions to say that this is for the next generation of consoles , Maybe it is and maybe its not.

Telltale Games Shuts Down

Alright, what the fuck is happening to the world ??? no actually what the fuck happened with telltale??? these fuckers just decided to stop making walking dead episodes ??? what the fuck is wrong with the FUCKING telltale games.

Okay ... I'm sorry... I don't usually start my blogs like this ... I'm just a little bit of ABSOLUTELY LIVID 

So I didn't watch or read or heard any news about telltale games shutting down.... actually I didn't hear about any gaming news lately ... well, today I thought it would be a good day to write a blog and I just heard that telltale game is shutting off about 30 seconds ago, and now I started thinking to commit suicide. one of my best game the walking dead is gone, the telltale had planned to make a game of thrones season 2 and to the walking dead season 4 but because they have "issues" they are going to ignore EVERYTHING 

okay... let me write my blog the right way.

Telltale games did not make a splash since 2012 when they released the walking dead season 1 which received widespread critical acclaim earning over 80 games of the year awards 

The telltale games became the best storytellers within all the gaming, The walking dead season2, The wolf among us, The game of thrones, The tales from borderlands were the next games to follow and while they were technical issues these games all received praise which I think a lot of peoples felt that telltale games were one of the gaming most talented developers but in years since the telltale game formula began to become a problem as bugs and glitches became the norm with all of their games, notably with their recent game titles like guardian of the galaxy the batman enemy within Minecraft story mode they all have the same praise for the story but the same issues with numerous technical issues 

Besides just that the studio was unable to evolve and adapt with gameplay which frustrated many, but in mid-2018 many of us were hopeful as a variety reported that the telltale would be likely moving away from the telltale tool (their game engine) and instead using the established unity game engine but sadly the news has broke that the telltale games closing down .

Telltale put out a statement saying " FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Today the telltale games made a difficult decision to begin a majority studio closure following a year marked by insurmountable challenges. Majority of the company employees were dismissed earlier this morning with a small group of 25 employees staying on to fulfill the company's obligations to its boards and partners. CEO Pete Hawley issued the following statement: its been an incredibly difficult year for telltale as we worked to set the company on a new course Unfortunately we ran out of time trying to get there we released some of our best contents in this year and received a tremendous amount of positive feedback but ultimately that did not translate to sales with a heavy heart we watch out friend leave today to spread our brand of storytelling in the game industry 
telltale will issue further comments regarding its product portfolio in the coming weeks ."

Furthermore, it has been reported by the verge and the US gamer that the walking dead season 4 will go unfinished with the episode 2 being it

What Exactly Is Thronebreaker ?

The lid has just been blown off right off the newest single player game set in the world of the witcher. Throne breaker the witcher tales is the newest developed game by CD Projekt Red sets off to release in a little over a month on October 23rd.  

I understand that many of you gonna have some really important questions about the game like isn't it just a single player card game. Will Gerald be in the game and will there be any boobs.

Well... just hold your horses I am getting there. There are first things first it is kind of like but not exactly the game was originally announced as the single player component for Gwent but later it became its own standalone game. Its described as narrative driven single player role role-playing game set in the Witcher world where players choices well determinate the outcome of the tale so your choices will result in brunch in varied stories which will add replayability.

The story is written by the same team who wrought the Witcher 3 wild hunts story so we can probably expect our fair share of unusual and interesting characters.

You play the role of a character named Nev Whose story takes place sometime prior to the story of Geralt of rivia, The game will feature a big map to roam around within where players can build their armies at the leader camp which is a base where they can invest resources to construct facilities and train units.

Combat is card-based much like Gwent although the mechanics will overhaul the launched with battles taking place in the battlefield consisting of four rows as opposed to six, We know the campaign will last around 20 hours and we can probably expect a lot more details on the game to be unveiled the closer we get to launch no word yet on whether there would be booze .

Fortnite Cited in 5% Of UK Divorces

Fortnite might ruin your marriage.

Since its launched, last year fortnite seen what can only be described as a meteoric rise to dominance in the games industry. And during that time its been making headlines all across the globe for huge revenue numbers and players figure and tournament prize pools with the recent announcement that the upcoming fall skirmish has a whopping 10 million dollars prize.

However its also been making headlines for other .... you might say less romantic reasons company divorceonline.co.uk has been digging into divorce petitions and its found that the fortnite has been mentioned in 200 divorce petitions since January 1st, 2018 in the UK which is a whopping 5% of the four thousand six hundred sixty five divorce petitions it used for the reports .

The company has said " Addiction to drugs alcohol and gambling have often been cited as reasons for relationship breakdown but the dawn of digital evolution has introduced new addictions " " These now include online pornography online gaming and social media so its no surprise to us that more and more peoples are having relationship problems because of our digital addictions." " These numbers are equate to roughly 5% of 4665 petitions we have handled since the beginning of this year and as one of the largest filers of divorce petitions in the UK is a pretty good indicator ." 

Although fortnite likes to be categorized as a game for children by the media. I'm surprised that the 50% of fortnite players are actually employes full time according to separate report file from may.

I think from tomorrow to make my posts bigger talking about 2 or 3 things at one post 

NBA 2K19 Disgusting Monetisation

If you thought that the 2k would learn their lesson after the criticism they received for the NBA 2K18 microtransactions then you are about to get benched some NBA 2K19 launched this week for a major platform and to see the game as a microtransaction hellhole would be putting it a little bit mildly .

Just like last year 2K19 has a progression system build all around virtual currency . Virtual currency can be earned through a long and grueling grind or of course you can splash over 100 dollars of cash and get them instantly .

virtual currency is not about how you progress in the game . It is also about how you buy everything from stand provements to cosmetics items absolutely everything and if you thought the ability to buy virtual currency would be hidden away in its own separate menu then it is time you hit the shower .

Then prepare to be sent to the locker room .... You would be wrong is what i am trying to say 

Even when you go to quit the game you are presented with a gap VC burn directly under the quick burn essentially begging you to spend more money . AT that point you well be like " Get ME out of this F****** game i just wanna get out " 

Some NBA 2k19 have noticed that the free to play mobile version only offers purchases up to 60$ purchases of VC while the the full priced home console release lets you make up to 100$ of purchases on VC .

NBA 2K19 and microtransactions are literally more predatory than the free to play mobile version . However if you been keeping up with the games reviews you may have noticed that the game did not get slammed or dunked by the news outlets .

EA Ready To Fight Over Loot Boxes

Recently video game publishers like 2k Valve and Activision have all been scrubbing their of loot boxes for players in belgium . This came after the belgian government declared loot boxes are some sort of gambling back in april of this year . However one bug publisher has has so far refused to comply with the countrys new gambling law and that publisher is EA .

The investigation by the belgium gambling commissioned back in april that Overwatch csgo and FIFA 18 in particular all contained earn a illegal game of chance this meant the the loot boxes needed to be removed ensuring that the miners could not access any gambling elements .

But so far EA has refused to remove the loot boxes from fifa with EA CEO Andrew Wilson defended back in april as being quotes " Developed and implemented ethically and lawfully around the world " Lawfully is just as long as you know the law does not change enroute which in this case they have . One common defend for fifa loot boxes is that they are just the same as paninis footbaal sticker packs . 

How ever some pieces of the belgium gambling commission is not having any of it and he says that the loot boxes are worse than sticker packs quote " Panini prints just as many stickers from every footballer . it is not a roulette between common and rare pictures . With FIFA 18 that is indeed the case " . 

R.I.P to the argument that the fifa ultimate team card packs are the same as the stickers . 

Well..... What does this mean to EA ?

well... The belgian government is launching a a criminal investigation  and well likely be prosecuting EA for theyr non complaince .

Yeah thats right EA is likely to be prosecuted for just being greddy and stubborn . As for how the investigation well go nason said the quote " If the investigations makes us wrong we well advocate revising the gambling law so that we an tackle the loot boxes " 

So with the loot boxes reportedly making up 67% of all revenues for EA which is around 3 and a half billion american dollars every single year you can see why EA dont want to concede any ground here because it could set a very unwelcome financially crippling precedent for them .

EA are sticking to their guns and they probably got to court over it i mean you can see that happen and it probably got the finances and the resources to be able to fight this in court is the last thing EA wants to do is to concede that it is gambling and take loot boxes out of free form and to see more card pack are the fee for all the team because once they concede belgium watched up Evans well come along and every one else in europe and even north america from coming along and saying that they are gambling and that 67% revenue that 3 and a half billion dollars every year theyr just no why they want to concede single inch of that because once the cards start falling here they all fell down .

Spider Man Outsells God Of War

Spider man has pretty much smashed god of war . Spider man is now the fastest selling game of 2018 being out far cry which was previous best selling which is a quite achievement if you consider that farcry 5 unlike spider man has launched on multiple platforms with spider man only available on playstation 4 this also meant that the previous best selling exclusive god of war lost its title .

Spider man has sold reportedly twice as much as god of war . Unsurprisingly spider man is now also the fastest selling game in marvel history being out marvel lego super heroes . Although it didnt quite topple batman arkham knight as the fastest selling super hero game

mr.lee. sales figures are only for physical sales here in the UK we can only assume that these sales figures are indicative of how the games been selling in the rest of the world .

So if sales figures are in any indication of success in which they are this games really successful . I know its only just a weekend worth of sales figures but it also includes the pre order numbers and everything that they get carried on as day one sales and to be so ahead of god award who doubled the god of war and that itself was a huge success . Scientist to show how well spider mans done and i also think its indicative of how much of more mass appeal that its got like it appeals youngsters and to old guys like myself .

It seems like its my demand its there for everybody where is god of war was a little bit more mature id say . Also goes to show that Metacritic is not everything because god of war is like in the mid 90s and the spider man in the high 80s so its not all about reveiws when it come to sales figures thats for sure .

Spiderman Graphical Downgrade Anger

First of all what the hell is a graphical downgrade ?

Earlier this week James Stevenson the community direct there behind insomniac . Spiderman hit back on our claims on twitter but they had downgraded the graphical fidelity of their game .

He said that it was not a downgrade at all and that the sun has just moved . You might remember me covering it while things have only escalated from there and fans have taken to twitter and reddit to . Lets just say voice further concerns this sign over puddles in the game being changed.

A comparison image has been doing the rounds showing as  that in 2017 the game had more puddles than it does in 2018. The image comparison clearly shows that that the floor indeed is noticebaly drier .

However some peoples are asking in support the game with dual shockers reporter Guiseppe Nova twetting the following : "If you read allegations of a "Downgrade" for insomniac games do not believe them it is obviously just a change in the position of the sun . Exactly the same happened with Infamous:Second Son and it turned out a visual masterpiece"

Army had youtuber boogie2988 saying the following :"Rumors said that the spider man for ps4 got downgrade graphically since the release 

Developer no , they just changed lighting by moving the sun 

I say as long as it plays the same i dont care that much 

but please bring back the puddle #puddlegate"

Spider man is still set to release on September the 7th  puddle or no puddle.

Fans Outrage At Spider Mans DLC Plans

Spider man is right around the corner with this release slated for september the 7th .

Yesterday the developers in insomniac announced details about plans for DLCs post launch . The city that never sleeps DLC park well feature 3 individual episodes . They well release in october november and december of this year.

Each episode will feature a brand new story missions and challenges a new faction of enemies and and more spidey costumes to unlock .

The first episode will focus on the felicia hardy better know as black cat .

And while we dont have details about the other 2 episodes we know it well cost 24 pounds ninety nine for all 3 episodes or nine pounds ninety nine individually .

How ever the news about the DLC dropped yesterday the game has seen a bit of backlash from the fans saying that the DLC is just content and should not have been announced before games release.

With one fan saying : "Wait,spiderman PS4 isnt even out yet ? and they are already announcing DLC? just put it in the damn game we are paying 60$ for".

another gay sad :"stressed out to hear that insomniac are already announcing DLC for their upcoming spider man game that has not even been released 
the game went gold 4 weeks ago today and their planning DLC 8 weeks after release ? let me tell you it isnt "

When something did announce plans for DLC back in april so it should not come up as a surprise that their is DLC at all it is just the details that upset a few peoples and you kind understand  some people get an upset feeling that they are not getting value for money when it lookes like a part of the game is being sliced off and being sold back to them again in future .

And of course with the DLC just coming a month after releasing the slip when the first one comes it looks particularly suspicious . 

They could not literally just wait for a month and stick that DLC on the disc just like capcom have been known to do in the past .

The counter argument of this is of course is that the money that you pay for the DLC is the money that funds the development of this DLC itself .

And if they were not charging for that DLC then it woulf never exist because they wont have money to develop it .

I think the problem that a lot of peoples see is that when DLC is being developed at time when actual game peoples feel like it has been ripped out of the game or they could just easily add it to the final game itself and give you more money for more complete value for money package .

And with all these talk about how expensive games are to make and how that 60$ probably is not fair these days for the price of the game .

It should be like 80$ . Maybe the peoples prefer the the DLC and all the content just for 80$ outright and not even offer the kind of this scaled back version or this other base version for 6 $ because thats essentially what it is now.

it is a cheap version of the game again and yet it is 60$ your not getting everything with 

Thats just the way things are this is business model they have got here 

But how i feel about it is that they are asking you to pre-order DLC without telling you what acutally is in the second or third pack. You dont know what you are getting for your money . You dont know how much value of money you are going to get . You hope that for 25quid you for the whole DLC pack get half the content of the game since the game is 50quid right ? 

But that not usually how it works out . The fact that the are selling the DLC pack in the first place without showing you what is in it .

That is shady right ? you should not do that . You should never pre-order something without knowing what you get . You have o decide weither its a business model that you want to support in this industry right now they are other ways of doing it . Peoples have shown their are other ways to doing it .

One thing i will say that if you are in habit of pre-ordring games or dlc before they have announced what is in it . Dont be dissapointed at the end of it if you dont get everything like you have been ripped of or something .

you should always exactly know what you gave your money for .

You should wait for the reivews of the game you should wait till you know everything about the game . The game is not going anywhere you can still buy it at day one if you want you dont have to give them your money beforehand you just dont have to be temped mt their shady marketing tactics like giving you exclusive skins and exclusive content if you pre-order . 

Fallout 76 - 6 More Huge Gameplay Details

I have posted 6 details about fallout 76 gameplay and now i well give you the rest off them .

7- Fallout 76 will expand upon fallout 4 settlement system by allowing players to build bases anywhere in the map .

these creations will be assigened to players profile and well be removed from the game when the player is offline to prevent it from being lost.

but you settlements wont be safe because other players well be able to attack when online .

however the game well preserve player creation in some form to prevent the players from having to start over if their creations and progress are destroyed .

8- Considering the enormity of this game one new item you well have access to the construction and assembly mobile platform otherwise known as camp .

Its a mobile crafting platform that you can move from place to place at any time and it well assist you with crafting weapons items and more .

So luckly this means you dont have to b stuck in the middle of some part of the game where all that lose access to crafting .


9- Now of course there are some things you can do and fallout 76 that well have drastig consequenses .

and one of those includes the abillity to use nuclear weapons to reshape the games world.

After you get the launch codes you can fire a missile anywhere on the map . This well annhiliate that area causing it to become iradiated .

You can then explore that area and find rare gears weapons and items .
However performing this nuclear strike well have its drawbacks .It actually powerful enemies and the players need to be heavily equiped and strong enough to survive the encounters .

10- With fallout 76 featuring a drastic shift in design there would need to be some alterations made and thats why the game uses a modified version of the bethesdas creation engine 

Not only does it accomodate the new multiplayer gameplay but this modified version also allows the developers to incorperate new lighting models rendiring prosecces and more accurate terrain mapping 

The engine also allows the developers team to create a world with sixteen times more detail than was possible with previous iteration of the creation engine 

Also included thanks to the creation engine is a dynamic weather system that allows for localized climatic conditions and a greater draw distance while visaully the game is seem to be very simmilar to fallout 4 and thats been one of the recurring comments that i have been in regard to fallout 76 you can see that under the hood there have been a bevy of new modifcation .


11- Considering fallout 76 is these new epic journey for you to embark on with your friends you well want to caoture some of you favorite moments and you can do just that with included photo mode .

At any time you can pause the game and take some photographs that can be saved and shared as a slid show during the loading screen .

Fallout 76 - 4 More Huge Details

I have posted 2 huge details about fallout 76 earlier . now i well continue to next 4 details.

3- One element of this game that has been striking some controversy recently is the fact that the game well not feature any human NPCs . All surviving humans well be real online players .

so how is this story exactly going to be told ?
Well its a little interesting . it well be told using a combination of robot NPCs recording such as holotapes terminals throughout the world . and environmental story telling where the flair uncovers fragments of the narrative by exploring various locations which they will then piece together by themeselves so its very much more of an experiance that leaves you to your own devices that might turn some peoples on and some people might get very excited at that notion which you can say is the fact that its very different than your typical fallout outing.


4- Multiplayer is a big aspect of fallout 76 but the game in its entirity can be played solo . However given the fact that the game was designed with multiplayer and mind your best bet is to take the game as online . As far as how big your party can be while playing online you can team up with 3 other players to to take on the journey together . 


5- The thought of playing online in fallout game might scare off some peoples because of course some peoples arent going to be nice and might just kill you .

Well dont be too scared because their is a wanted system that puts bounties on peoples that are doing some heinous acts . Also if you want to completly eleminate the issue todd howard did say that their are plans to add private servers after launch.

This well allow you to just invite the players you want to play with and prevent the briefing .


6- Another element of fallout 76 that has garnring some negative reception is its progressing system. Character  attributes well fall into one of the seven entries.

Reminiscent of previous entries this includes strenght and perception and endurance and charisma intilligence agillity and luck 

As you level up you well be able to spent some skill points to boost your attributes on a scale on 1 to 15 . Now all that sounds good and real fine but the real talking point is the perk system .

you well be able to choose perks or passive abillities that well give you unique bonuses . these perks are in special catogories and are displayed as training cards. Each card has a value and and the player can adopt perks equal to their respective value .

If you have a strengh rating of 10 then you can equip the strengh peks of 10 and so on 

You also have a few option of merging 2 similar cards to cram more powerful parts .Now the fact that the game includes cards and card packs might scare of some ton of peoples into thinking that the game is gonna be riddeled with these micratransactions on that front . And considireng we have seen digital cards theyd be gaming world by storm . i can understand that fear however that is not the case with fallout 76 . you well aquire the cards as you play the game . If you could actually spend money and get even more cards that well be absoultly insane gameplay advantage .
