Be the zombie in Dying Light!

Have you seen the latest trailer of Dying Light? Just like the game evolve you can become a monster (some type of super zombie) and hunt down a group of survivors (played by other people). As this super zombie you can invade someone elses game and then try to kill him or her. But are you really interested in this?


Hasn´t this been done before? As a matter of fact it has! Several times this was an option in other games and it seems this keeps happening where people can invade your game and try to mess with you. I don´t know who thinks this is fun or that this is a good idea, but I don´t like it! When I play a single player game I don´t think that it would be more fun when a random stranger can invade my game and try to kill me, where is the fun in that?!!!


Developers think you like to be an asshole? Sometimes I´m getting this idea because you have to be a real asshole enjoy messing up the fun of other people, unless there is an achievement or trophy tied to this and you desperately want to get it. But I don´t see the fun in messing with other people, I mean with friends I get it but a random stranger is exactly that to me and I don´t feel the need to make his or her life miserable just for my amusement or for an achievement. Maybe there are people that have no problems with being an asshole, but I prefer to just enjoy the game and play it as it should be played!


But getting back to the super zombie in Dying Light, this is something you can do and I guess that´s great for some people but other people (like me) will turn this option off and no one will invade my game nor will I invade anyones world!

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...

Mortal Kombat X isn´t just another fighting game?

You´ve probably seen the announce trailer of Mortal Kombat X, then you probably also know that it shows two familiar characters fighting against eachother. At that point you´re probably still thinking that it´s just more of the same but with a better coat of paint, I understand that pessimist look and it´s not often wrong. But from what I´ve heard about Mortal Kombat X is that it´s going to be more than just a new game in the Mortal Kombat game series. What´s new? Apparently there will be more fighting styles for one character, giving everyone his or her own favourite style to use against opponents. There was something familiar in another Mortal Kombat game where they also had weapons in a fighting style, but this seems to go a bit deeper and more unique. Of course these are just words at this point, nothing has been proven just yet! But this would make it more fun to play against other people and see who masters the ultimate style, but I´m certain that there is a counter style f...
