Star Wars Battlefront 2 drama

I prefer to stay out of the drama but I couldn't help but notice how much the hate for EA and Star Wars Battlefront 2 is right now. As much as I agree that what EA did was dumb I don't think it's right to say that Star Wars Battlefront 2 is a bad game, because honestly the game looks pretty good. The problem is multiplayer where the system is broken and that can be incredibly frustrating and not fun at all to play. But should you give the game so much hate for that? No, I don't think that's fair.

The big bad EA?

 EA has to be one of the most hated companies out there, definitely the most hated in the game industry. When the news came out that they bought Respawn, the developers of Titanfall and Titanfall 2, all hell broke loose and people became so mad at EA and that's on top of the loot box pay to win situation in Star Wars Battlefront 2. At this point it seems that EA can't do anything right anymore, eventhough they put a hold on their in game store for the loot boxes, you can't buy loot boxes at the moment in Star Wars Battlefront 2, a lot of people are still hating on EA. I think because nobody believes that it will be fixed, they think EA is just waiting till the storm passes and then turns the store back on. I can't read the minds of the people working for EA but I can't imagine that they're happy with all this, so hopefully they do come up with a good solution that keeps at least the majority happy. Especially when I look at Star Wars Battlefront 2 because the game looks pretty good and it would be such a shame if it would suffer under all this. I don't think that's right. But at the same time trying to squeeze money out of people that already bought the game isn't right either plus giving those people a benefit in multiplayer is absolutely wrong!

Star Wars Battlefront 2 multiplayer is pay to win?

 Unfortunately it is, because if you buy loot boxes you can get cards that for example gives your character more health. So someone that buys a lot of loot boxes has a bigger chance to get those cards and thus have a benefit in multiplayer. Of course you can also earn loot boxes if you play the game but that takes time and if you keep losing to people that have more health and can do more damage to you then you're going to be pretty upset by the time you finally earn your loot box. Then you probably wonder if the loot boxes are worth buying, well I didn't buy any myself but I saw some videos on YouTube of people that did buy loot boxes and I can't say I was impressed with what they got. They weren't happy with what they got either. One guy even bought a hundred and he still wasn't happy with what he got. Now that is a true waste of money! At least people can't buy any more loot boxes, for the moment, so hopefully this problem will be fixed and they make multiplayer more fun and less pay to win. Let people unlock things by playing the game and not buy their way to victory and rewards!

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...
