I know everyone is playing The Outer Worlds, or Death Stranding, or Modern Warfare (Death Stranding being the only one I haven’t gotten to yet), and I know people are shitting on this game for their own reasons (to each their own), but I’ve finally hit level 50 in Fallout 76. I had a base in a high level area but after it had a nuke dropped on it, I decided to pick a low level area to farm for a while. Still think there is potential in this game, whether that will ever be made reality, I don’t know. Though I will say, I enjoy the photo mode. #xbox #fallout #fallout76 #fallout4 #falloutfirst #bethesda #bethesdagamestudios #countryroadstakemehome #falloutcommunity #fallout76photomode #fallout76camps #fallout76memes #vaultboy #vaulttec #pipboy #gaming #videogames https://www.instagram.com/p/B4mrJgmhpO1/?igshid=1h65h2vp5kw5g

Just when I start getting really invested in #fallout76, #bethesdagamestudios has to come out with something that will divide what fan base there is even more. —————————————————- What do you guys think of the subscription? —————————————————- Personally don’t care about the subscription service, it’s exactly like ESO+ with some added tweaks. It’s also completely optional. Once you break down that yearly price, it roughly equates to $0.27 a day which seems reasonable to me. Don’t get me wrong, I see the issue, Wastelanders gets delayed (which is free btw) and then people see the Atomic Shop going away from cosmetic only things, which they already did with the collectron and the fridge, but does either of those really give anyone that much of an edge? Just read a report that’s saying people are losing all their scrap in unlimited scrap bag too, which would fucking suck! —————————————————— Tag me in any #Fallout76 shenanigans you guys get into —————————————————— #fallout #falloutnv #fallout3 #fallout4 #fallout76nuclearwinter #pipboy #vaulttec #fallout76memes #fallout76hype #fallout76camps #falloutcommunity #bethesdagamestudios #fallout76photomode #falloutnewvegas #mixerstreamer #gaming #videogames #xbox #ps4 https://www.instagram.com/p/B4CKYImBfcA/?igshid=388hhnijzsnt

It puts the lotion on its skin... or it gets the hose again... I’ve just gone around photographing all the weird teddy bears set up in #fallout76, but for #halloween I thought the moth man shrine and the demented monkey were better to include for this set. #fallout #videogames #gaming #bethesda #fallout4 #falloutwestvirginia #falloutwildwasteland #fallout76xbox https://www.instagram.com/p/B3jZkVDBvMg/?igshid=qqcw1lttx530

I have never used guide lines for drawing faces EVER before, because I didn’t like to have lines on the characters face- but was for some reason okay with dozens of eraser marks for my dozens of attempts at drawing a face. Used the guide lines this time- took like 6 minutes. And now I’m questioning all of my life’s choices lol. . . . . . #kamehameha #freehanddrawing #supersaiyan #goku #songoku #gokussjgod #anime #drawing #supersaiyangod https://www.instagram.com/p/BupqK27ApGl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=154gablwm1y5j

This may be the first time I’ve ever drawn Vegeta. He was not one of my favorite characters in DBZ, but I like him a lot better in Dragon Ball Super. . One of these days I’m gonna draw something semi original like I would when I was a kid waiting for new English-dubbed episodes to premiere on Toonami. . . . . #drawing #dragonball #dragonballsuper #dragonballz #vegeta #princeofallsaiyans #supersaiyanblue #supersaiyanbluevegeta #sketch #freehanddrawing #anime #drawinganime https://www.instagram.com/p/BtZAIPDARJI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g0b226j4fdwx

Halo: The Domain

HALO 5: Guardians launched on October 27th, 2015 amongst strong criticism for its disjointed story and missing gameplay features. One of the story criticisms was its reliance on ancillary media that not all players will have taken the time to read.

In this series, we will attempt to explain aspects of Halo lore in order to enrich the story of Halo 5. Today will center on the Domain, the galaxy…

Odyssey is a beautifully crafted world with fascinating history, but I feel like it’s directionless story wise. It’s almost like they threw so many things into the game that it’s just over saturated. I for some reason however, am completely addicted to the game even when I feel as though I’m slogging through it (though it is a relatively light slog when compared to other games of this scale).

The Assassin’s you play as have almost always been very charismatic characters, even if they are personally directionless, they still have this drive to carry out their missions because of a higher goal: avenging their family, upholding the Creed, solving an ancient mystery, or freeing a nation. Alexios and Kassandra, however, seem to be primarily motivated by drachmae (money). Which makes sense as far as their being mercenaries, but it doesn’t make for a compelling character. Yes, there ARE other things that drive them, but almost every single conversation ends in talking about pay, even when more pressing concerns are present or the NPC is already helping the “Eagle Bearer” (player character).

I also find myself having a hard time listening to the Eagle Bearers voices in the game. One issue I’ve been having is their accents sound like I do when I’m trying to do a bad Russian accent, which is a bit distracting, and they sometimes sound like a person doing a bad Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonation . Even with the player able to make dialogue choices in the game, there is almost no way to make them sound intelligent for longer than half a sentence. Even when you’re successful at making them sound smart, their next dialogue options seem to not follow up on that.

[Did the Mega Seeds dissolve in their anal cavities or something so they could spit out one Bruce Banner line before going “HULK SMASH!” on the next?]

I have a feeling that when I get to the end, I’m going to have an “ahHA!” moment and the whole story will make sense. Where all the seemingly random threads all tie together in a knot and I’ll look at the game with the same fondness I have for the much maligned Dragon Age 2. (Should have realized that a fight between the mages and the Templar’s was coming to a head, but it wasn’t till the last quest of the game that I realized this.)  Hopefully, I will get to the end of Odyssey and everything will just click. I would still recommend the game especially to fans of the series and even more so to fans of open world RPG’s as there is a ton of stuff that you probably will enjoy.

Followup Review

After 96 hours into the game and 95% completion of the story, I have to say that Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey is the biggest disappointment in the series for me. Bear in mind though, that I always have thoroughly enjoyed every entry in the series so my bar is set EXTREMELY high so don’t light the torches just yet!

By the time you find out that Alexios/Kassandra is still alive, and Layla offers them the Spear of Leonidas, and it is just discarded as junk by them, that was probably the final nail in the coffin for me. Nearly the entirety of the game revolves around their families lineage and the Spear, but by 2018, its garbage? And they couldn’t have a longer conversation with a person who lived 2400 years? Millennia of knowledge and almost none of it could be passed on beyond a cryptic message saying that it all has to end in a very “Last Jedi” sort of way?

Its been over a month now since I’ve last touched the game, but after seeing the trailer for the Legacy of the First Blade DLC, I’m cautiously optimistic. The trailer depicts what appears to be the Order of the Ancients which served as the proto-Templar antagonists in AC: Origins. I’m hoping it serves to somehow connect Odyssey’s story to the overall story of Assassin’s Creed as I still don’t think there is much link between them. 

Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey Review Odyssey is a beautifully crafted world with fascinating history, but I feel like it’s directionless story wise.

Gears of War 4 Review

Gears of War. One of my favorite franchises since I first took chainsaw to Locust way back when (2006). Now the first original game not made by Epic, or its affiliates, continues the Gears story 25 years after the world-changing events of Gears of War 3.

Halo 6 Announcement for E3 2018?

Halo Vlog Halo is one of the Xbox’s flagship titles since the consoles launch back in 2001. Millions of copies have been sold. Dozens of books, comics, graphic novels, and short films have been made in the Halo universe, and each new title has been loved by many- and sometimes hated by many. 2018 is possibly going to be a big year for Halo, as for the most part the series has followed a three…

Assassin’s Creed: Why Not World War II?

Assassin’s Creed: Why Not World War II?

Assassin’s Creed is a long running franchise that has had many ups and downs over the years. Since its launch in 2007, the series has been to The Crusades, to The Industrial Revolution in London, and with Assassin’s Creed Origins, to Ptolemy/Cleopatra’s Egypt. However, there is one time period that has been notably overlooked, World War II. It seems strange that a time period that so many other…
