Revan returns to Star Wars the Old Republic?!!!

I must admit that I was excited for a moment when I first heard the news, but then the rest came. Revan does return but as the leader of a cult that tries to destroy both the republic and the empire, sigh...


What happened? I remember when I first played Knights of the Old Republic, that was amazing and I really enjoyed the story and talking with the other characters in this game. It was my first experience with a Bioware game and after Knights of the Old Republic I kept an eye on them in case they made more fantastic game, I think Mass Effect and Dragon Age: Origins are good examples of that! But now we get this, after a lot of fans screaming for Revan they get a version of their favourite jedi/sith which they probably didn´t expected and probably don´t want. If you couldn´t play as Revan then you want him (or her, I guess some people prefer a female Revan) to be a member of your crew or at least someone you could talk with and hang out with. But things look grim from this point of view, because it could be that Revan might be the final boss in this new dlc.


I stopped playing the Old Republic about two months after launch, I didn´t enjoy playing it anymore and didn´t find the motivation to play through missions to level up. At that point a game is dead to me, the characters I made are lost to me and everything I did in the game has become a distant memory. It sounds a bit dramatic but that´s how it feels to me, but am I the only one that feels that way? Probably not, I don´t think that there are many players in the game that were there from the first day. But that´s ok, as long as people are having fun playing the game then who am I to say that they shouldn´t?


Will this dlc bring people back to the game? I don´t know, I think a lot of people that were disappointed not seeing Revan in the game might get some hope with this dlc but I bet people will be sceptic! Maybe this dlc will be awesome and Revan will be playing a more interesting role then what I talked about, but so far that´s just wishful thinking in my opinion. To me this feels like a desperate attempt to get players back into the Old Republic, but I doubt it will really work. I´m secretly still hoping for Knights of the Old Republic 3 and play once more as Revan, now that would be something I´m excited about!

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...
