Shenmue 3 Pisses In Its Backers’ Face By Going Epic Exclusive.
This is going to end so well. So something that almost slipped by me at E3 is that Shenmue III, after many years of fans clamouring for it since Shenmue II’s positive reception, is going to be an Epic Store Exclusive on PC. Hoorah!! What? No hoorah? Oh riiight, the Epic Store is infamous in the gaming community right now, isn’t it? Not just for being a laughably featureless store launcher, but also for Epic Games deciding to use their Tencent money to smuggle as many exclusives into their pitiful excuse of a store that doesn’t even have a goddamn shopping cart. But honestly, I’m actually surprised by this development. I really didn’t think that Deep Silver (the publisher) and Ys Net (the developer) had the bloody audacity to put Shenmue III as an Epic Store exclusive, knowing full that this has been a game that…
Why I’m Skipping Watch Dogs Legion As a Fan Hoping For Watch Dogs 3.
Watch Dogs Legion doesn’t fill me with much hope. Out of the all of Ubisoft’s E3 Press conference, there was only one thing that caught my mention (well, besides Gods and Monsters): The announcement of Watch Dogs Legions, the next game in the Watch Dogs franchise. And on a quick note, yes, Ubisoft’s E3 Press Conference was pretty disappointing, or at least to me. That’s coming from someone who adores most of Ubisoft’s franchises other than those of Nintendo and Capcom. Most of the Ubisoft press conference contained Tom Clancy games such as Ghost Recon Breakpoint, The Division 2 and Rainbow Six Quarantine. Unfortunately, I’m not a fan of Tom Clancy’s games so I’ll pass on those, especially since they’ve become more multiplayer focused as of late. Then there was also other stuff that was just add-ons to already existing content like For Honour. Uplay is going…
Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order’s Gameplay Looks Stellar. EA Redeemed?
Respawn’s new Star Wars game is helping clean EA’s murky reputation with gamers. While I wasn’t aware of this at all, there was an EA Play event where they showed gameplay from the upcoming Stars Wars game: Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order. And I’ll admit, it does look like it’s going to be a pretty remarkable game. When I saw the trailer for the game back in April, I was genuinely excited. After the controversies of the last two Battlefront games from EA, gamers had lost all hope that EA could do right by the Star Wars brand, so much so that many were hoping Disney would swoop in to sever their contract with EA after the loot box backlash. That didn’t happen, and in a surprising twist of events, Disney was mindbogglingly happy with EA’s treatment of the franchise. I can only speculate that…
What Is That Song From The Pokémon Direct This Morning?!
Here comes a brand new world!! It starts at 0:23 and ends at 3:00! Here comes a brand new world! HERE COMES A BRAND NEW WORLD!! Let’s find a new way to unite! (￣▽￣)/♫•*¨*•.¸¸♪ OMG! Help, I can’t get it out of my head! T_T It’s so freaking catchy!! It seems to be an unreleased song considering I can’t find it anywhere using google. It doesn’t help that I can’t make out most of the lyrics. On another note… …I’m really excited for Pokémon Sword and Shield now! If you’ve seen the direct, the series is transitioning to a more open-world style of play! And we’re going to have freaking kaiju battles!! o(≧▽≦)o But still getting a Nintendo Switch is going to be pretty expensive. (≧д≦ヾ) Maybe I should start saving for one now? If I work hard on commissions I…
