Wild West Online, this isn't Red Dead Redemption 2?

I think when people saw some early screenshots from Wild West Online they probably thought they saw a glimpse of Red Dead Redemption 2. Nope, Wild West Online is actually a game and I have to admit that it looks interesting. If it will really be that much fun remains to be seen, but so far the game definitely looks interesting enough to check it out!

Be the cowboy or cowgirl you want to be?

 From the gameplay trailer I got the idea that you can pick your own path in the game. You don't have to be good and you don't have to be bad, you can pretty much do what you want to do which is nice. You can commit crimes, steal or even kill other people, which will get you into trouble. Commit enough crimes and you'll get a high bounty on you and there will be a hunt for you. At the same time you can also collect bounties, so if you feel like doing something good you can hunt down people that are wanted and try to kill them for a bounty. If you're more of a social type then you can hang around in towns and play poker or roulette and drink with your pals in the saloon. But you can also team up with other people and do missions together or just go on an adventure together. You pretty much decide what your next step will be and hopefully you won't regret making that step.

Are there some customization options?

 They only showed a small glimpse of that in the trailer but you can definitely customize your character. You can decide what gender you want for your character and what race, later you can also buy different outfits for your character so you don't have to hang around in your noob outfit the entire game. Unfortunately they didn't show the inside of the shop so how that exactly works and how many outfits there are for you to buy is unfortunately still a mystery. Hopefully it gives you a lot of options, you really don't want to walk around in a town and have four or five identical characters walking around you. As funny as that might be it does kind of suck when you all look the same.

Get Wild West Online or wait for Red Dead Redemption 2?

 That is the big question isn't it? From what I saw you can only play Wild West Online on PC so for console players the choice is pretty simple. PC gamers could try their luck with Wild West Online, especially if you have friends to play it with. I think the focus in this game and what makes your chance on succes a lot higher is teaming up with others and form gangs to take on other players or missions. Something that did bother me was the first person walking animation, it looks kind of silly to me and if you don't know what I mean then you might want to check out the gameplay trailer. I think that Wild West Online has some potential but as a console player I don't think this game is for me. I'll just wait for Red Dead Redemption 2 which is for consoles.

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...
