Friday the 13th game is broken?

I was really excited about this game, not only because of the idea (play as Jason and hunt down the counselors or as one of the counselors try to survive while you're being hunted by Jason) in this game but also because of the videos I saw on YouTube. The game looks like a lot of fun and so when I finally bought it this weekend I was in for a nasty surprise, it doesn't work!

What's wrong with the game?

From my experience matchmaking in the game on the Xbox One is completely broken. I don't know if it's the same for Playstation 4 and pc gamers. When you click on quickplay for a match you can wait for twenty minutes and still not get into a match, yes I actually waited that long just to see if I would get a match eventually. But the connectivity with this game is also very unstable. On Sunday I could barely get connected with the game server, which meant I couldn't even get into the main menu. The only time I actually got into a match it was laggy and eventually I got disconnected. This is really lame and makes the game completely unplayable for me. Which is a big shame because I would really want to play the game, but the way things are looking now that's not going to happen any time soon...

So you can't play this game?

I see a lot of people making requests to team up for private matches, this seems to work for some people but it's ridiculous that this is how people have to play the game. I see almost a thousand requests from people that want to group up with other people just so they can play the game because quickplay is broken, it doesn't get you into matches and even if it does then I wonder how well it would work for other people. At this point I can't play the game, I can get into the main menu and possibly wait for hours in matchmaking but never get into a match. So my advice is don't do that!

Should you buy this game?

Right now? No! Don't buy the game until the matchmaking problems are fixed because there is a big chance that you can't play the game! The only reason why you should buy this game is when you have a group of friends that want to play this game with you in a private match. It's the best chance to get in a match and to make that match interesting you would need at least three or four other people, because one counselor against Jason is of course lame. I really hope this game is getting a patch soon because right now the game sucks balls!

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...

Movie Monday: Mr & Mrs Smith

There are movie that might not look good at first, when you hear about it, but once you see the movie then you know that it's a fantastic movie. What really made Mr & Mrs Smith so good was the acting of the two main stars in the movie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They had so much fun making this movie that it's an absolute joy to watch the movie. Which is good news for people that are looking for a fun movie to watch! Married to a spy? The story of Mr & Mrs Smith is pretty simple, a man is a spy and marries to a woman not knowing that she's a spy too. Apparently both of them are unaware of eachothers activities until their paths cross in their spy life, which leads to a lot of fighting and explosions. It's really not the action that makes this movie so much fun to watch but it's the humour. Mr & Mrs Smith is the type of movie that shows that a movie can be ten times better when the actors are actually enjoying themselves making this movie, instead ...

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...
