Confessions of a gamer

After reading so many people whining about Far Harbor dlc in Fallout 4 it won't surprise that there will be haters for Nuka World dlc as well, but don't let that stop you from checking this dlc out! It's actually a lot of fun and gives you a lot of stuff to do! It also puts you on the other side the Fallout universe, not literally but when it comes to the factions. You see in most Fallout games raiders attack you on sight, but in this dlc you become the overboss (that's how they call their leader) and lead three different factions in Nuka World, a pre-war amusement park with the Nuka cola theme running wild in it. What makes this dlc so much fun? First of all you're leading three different raider groups, that's fun and gives you something to mess around with. You can do missions for these raider groups or capture more parts of the amusement park and give this to the raider groups which will make the raider group that gets it more loyal to you while the other...

If you played certain games then you're probably familiar with certain missions that drive you insane. This often makes you want to take a break or quit the game completely, because who wants to fuck around with an annoying mission when there are a lot of other fun games around  that don't have bullshit missions in them? Here are some examples of missions I personally hate. Escort missions suck? If there's one type of mission I hate it's escort missions, because you often have to escort some stupid NPC that bumps into trouble every five meters. This isn't just very annoying but can also result in you failing because how do you protect someone that keeps running into trouble? They don't have a lot of health and will die if they take too much damage, if you're lucky you can heal them or they regenerate health after some time. In some games you can also see how much health they have left, so you know how close they are to death, if you're shit out of ...

I often hear people how they're upset that they have to pay for things that should be in the game itself, for example in some games you have to pay for dlc and then you get new characters, maps or weapons. This is all great but the part where you have to pay extra is where people often get upset. I get that, because it sucks when you have to pay extra for something that should be in the game. But is it always that easy? Do we need dlc or can we have games without dlc? Dlc brings new life to "old" games? You can hate developers for asking money for dlc but dlc does do a lot of good for a game, for example a game that you haven't played for months suddenly becomes more interesting with new dlc. You can go on new adventures, play against other people on new maps with new weapons or it could be something completely different that allows you to do new things that you couldn't do before in the game. Sure it sucks if you have to pay for it but if the developers give ...

Betrayal is always a bad thing, I don't think there is any version of betrayal where it's ok or accepable. In a relationship it's often the end of the relationship, for example when your boyfriend or girlfriend cheated on you. But what about betrayal in a game? Is this more acceptable or is it just as bad, perhaps even worse? You have no friends in competitive multiplayer? That's a grim but smart way of looking at it, especially in free for all you might want to think about trusting other people, even when they say they won't attack you there is always a chance that they will and stab you in the back. This doesn't have to be fatal but it does put you in a disadvantage, which makes it harder to win. My advice is that no matter how close you are with someone else, in competitive multiplayer you better not be too trusting. Even in team games because your "friend" could decide to steal your kills, could shoot you in the back and eliminate the competiti...

With the tech test on the Xbox One this weekend I couldn't resist trying out Titanfall 2 and I was hoping to see some surprises but I quickly discovered how much is still pretty much the same. Not only does that disappoint me but it even makes me angry, because what's the point of a sequel if it's just like the first game? Oh sure there are some new things but something important like being able to customize your multiplayer character are still not in this game and so are the weapons skins. At least the tech test didn't show anything close to that so it makes me wonder if it's in the full game. What is missing in Titanfall 2? The fast action and titans are there, of course they are and I have no doubts that this is going to be good. But where are the customization options? Can you even select if you're going to play as a male or female character? From what I saw your multiplayer character appearance changes depending on what ability you select. So if you wan...

Have you ever played a game that made you feel bad about your decisions? Sometimes it's not your fault, it's pretty much meant to happen, for example in a game like GTA V you do bad things but it's not like you can't do them. Oh sure you don't have to run over pedestrians while riding in your car, but when it comes to the heists or killing certain people in the game then you often don't have a choice because that's the mission! Choices in the game define who you are? I hope not, because I did some fucked up things in games! I think that games are just a way for gamers to do things they normally would never do. Maybe for some it could be as simple as asking a girl out, for some people this is a big deal, for others it's far more extreme as robbing a bank or murder. Of course most people would never do these things in real life, but games offer you a chance to be bad without feeling bad about it. Does that make sense? I think it does. But that doesn...

If you're a big Dead Rising fan or you've never played a Dead Rising game and you're interested then I have some good news for you! Because Dead Rising, Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising Off the record are getting a nice upgrade in graphics with their remastered versions for the Xbox One, Playstation 4 and PC. Which is nice for everyone that has missed the fun, the mayhem and absurd situations. With Dead Rising 4 coming out later this year it's a good way to get back into the Dead Rising series and remember how it all started and all the crazy things you can do! What's so much fun about another zombie game? Oh you think this is just another zombie game? Well not exactly, oh sure there are zombies and yes you will have to kill a lot of them if you want to survive but things are so much more fun in this zombie game than your average zombie game. Mostly thanks to the absurd humour and crazy weapons you can make (this is part of Dead Rising 2 and Off the record), in Dea...
