The aptly named Titanfall 2 will have a worldwide reveal on June 12, which just happens to coincide with EA’s contender to E3, dubbed EA Play. ...

If you’ve watched any of the original Star Wars movies, then you probably already know of the franchise’s love of giant superweapons that tend to be blown up by a plucky group of underdogs. As impressive as the Death Stars were, they all had a convenient weak spot that helped the Rebellion score major victories against the Empire. We all ...

Read More »Destiny going green for April update: Bungie recycles old content, plus pay to win!
As part of Bungie’s commitment to updating Destiny periodically (i.e. whenever they feel like it), the upcoming April update promises to bring a large amount of old content forward to Year Two standards (i.e. bigger numbers). Plus it’s free stuff, since it’s technically just an update. However, it should be kept in mind that as with all of Destiny’s updates, there ...

Originally, Fallout 4’s Survival difficulty simply modifies how much damage your enemies can do and receive; a fairly primitive method of making a game more difficult. Soon, Survival difficulty will be revamped entirely so that you won’t simply have to deal with shooting someone a bit more to kill them. And in the near future, Super-Survival mode will push the ...

By now, you have probably heard of at least one of the many debates over the portrayal of female characters in modern gaming. From fairly legitimate issues like ridiculous body armor, to well intended but perhaps a little far fetched ones that ask for “realistic” body shapes for unrealistic women, you can pretty much find a complaint (regardless of its legitimacy) about anything and ...

Ever since Fallout 4’s DLC roadmap was unveiled, it was assumed that Automatron would be considered one of the smaller DLCs, or at least until Far Harbor is released in May. With a price of $10 (unless you bought the season pass) it seems rather steep, especially when it is compared to what was advertised. By comparison, each of Fallout ...

Like it or not, technology has become integrated into almost every facet of our lives. Phones are one of the first and last things that we see every day, it’s almost impossible to find a building that doesn’t have at least one computer, and everything is connected to the internet at all times. But what if someone were to be ...
Read More »The Devil’s Advocate: The Division will suffer from the same problems that Destiny has
Regardless of whether you spent one hour or a hundred hours (or even simply watched a Let’s Play) in The Division, it is hard to deny that it is a game that successfully brought together two very popular genres: stat-heavy RPGs and pseudo-realistic third person shooters. To it’s credit, The Division is a well made game overall. But even the most ...
Read More »Is The Division’s endgame already in trouble?
If there is one lesson that Role Playing Games had to learn the hard way, it’s that a good RPG has to have some kind of endgame content to encourage you to keep playing the game, even if you already got the best loot possible and such. The Division is no different, and to that end, it features multiple endgame ...
