This just in (Or not) – E3 2015 schedule

 

Yes people it’s almost that time again, the greatest convergence of gaming since my house in 1992: Electronic Entertainment Expo or E3 for short (but you already knew that). This year will be a year of firsts for in addition of the big three (Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo) and the triple A machines (Electronic Arts & Ubisoft) having press conferences; newcomers to E3 Bethesda, Square Enix, and PC gaming show (by PC Gamer and AMD) will have their own press conferences as well. Will they unleash the next stage of gaming evolution or fall flat? Will they defeat last year’s champ (Nintendo) or will their  E3 transmission this year blow us all away again? Tune in and watch it for yourselves – or watch our Let’s Watch reactions of every conference either way you can’t go wrong.

This just in (or not): Titanfall turns one and we get the present.

 

Yes people this is truly a year of games, never in resent memory did so many games come out so early. Mileage may very on the quality of said games, but the quote still stands. Not to be outdone the good people at Respawn Entertainment decided, as a thank you to the gamers who supported them through their first year, to make all their current DLC free! So gear up people and start downloading now, who know how long this free lunch will last.

 

 

 

Games & Gear of 2015: PGA Tour (06/30/2015)

 

I said it at our 2014 E3 pick and I’ll say it now ‘Golf without limits’. That’s the tag line for this year’s PGA Tour game. Also like last year I mentioned that this years PGA Tour has all the bells and whistles that the newest console can afford to the players. All that’s nice, but the real reason to get this game is the fantasy courses. Honesty I would have like to have seen more of said course by now – something in space, or a Wild West shoot out, Jurassic park, I don’t care as long as it wasn’t a golf course. Oh well… The game is still half a year away so maybe they show the good stuff (or anything really) closer to the release day. Til then we’ve always got E3.

 

 

 

 

Games & Gear of 2015: Battlefield: Hardline (03/17/15)

 

Well I already covered a lot about this game in my Beta Breakdown (if you missed it here you go), and after play with it for days it is truly a Battlefield game – warts n’ all. However the element of a small scale (figuratively – the maps are still pretty big) conflict between a crime syndicate and local law enforcement not only kept bring me back to a demo but trying new classes, tactics, and load outs despite my dislike for the Battlefield series as a whole. Now I don’t know if I’m going to keep the game over time, but I will buy it – and that’s why I’m putting the game on the list.

 

 

 

Let’s Play – Battlefield Hardline Beta

 

What do you get when you combine the boring tedium of the Battlefield series with an awesome action cop movie? You get Battlefield Hardline! (Or least the Beta version of it) Enjoy part 1 & 2!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Inquiring about the Inquisition: The Inquisition is here!

 

Happy Inquisition Day! That’s right people the day we’ve (well mostly me) been waiting for is finally here! Right now I’m playing the crap out of this game; I’m not sure if I’ll do a Let’s Play of DA:I or not but I’ll be playing this game throughout the rest of the year (only to stop to eat, sleep, work, and play smash). Now I know yesterday I said I was tired talking about this game and not playing it; however now that I am playing it’s only prudent to show videos that help players (like myself) get started on the good foot. And with that here’s tips on Dragon Age Inquisition straight from the horse’s mouth.

 

 

 

 

Inquiring about the Inquisition: Final Prep Videos

A World Asunder

 

Well people I hope you enjoyed your six hours of alone time with Dragon Age Inquisition, I know I did! The sad thing is it when too quickly; good thing we only got one more day to wait! So here are the most recent videos about DA Inquisition to get yourself mentally prepared. One video gives an abridged back story of the events leading to Inquisition, another one is the final Q & A from the creators, and the last videos are a series that show’s the game multiplayer in action. Trust me people, there are more DA:I content available than the stuff I’ve highlighted. You can watch them at your leisure here & here; but in all honestly I tire of reading, watching, and hearing about it – it is time to start playing the dream. And we can do so in one. more. day.

 

 

Dragon Age Keep Q&A

 

 

 

 

 

Dragon Age: Inquisition Multiplayer

Inquiring about the Inquisition: The War Table & the Commanders

 

Now that you got the tour of the keep it’s time to see how the Inquisition earns its power. Sure you’re doing the important work of saving the world, but without the Inquisition you’re just another wandering hero and that won’t cut it. In order to empower the Inquisition all of Thedas must learn to either respect or fear them, and that’s where the War Table & the Commanders come in. Through the War Table you spread your influence and the commanders see your orders are done – in their own way. Watch the videos to learn more.

Inquiring about the Inquisition: Skyhold

 

Not to much longer now people it’s almost here. You know, when running your own organization dedicated to solve why the sky ripped open and started to puke out demons, you need a place to hang your hat. That’s where Skyhold comes in; it will be the nerve center of the Inquisition, your impregnable fortress, a hang out for your crew, and most importantly something you can customize to your harts content. After all if you’re going to save the world, your pad’s got to look good, otherwise no one’s going to take your clandestine group seriously.

Inquiring about the Inquisition: Play the game EARLY!!!! (For Xbox One only)

 

That’s right people, you read right, you can play Dragon Age Inquisition early before anyone else. See EA access, available on Xbox One only, is an $5 a month service that allows players to play some EA games on demand like  Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare, Need for Speed Rivals, and Battlefield 4. However they also allow subscribers to demo upcoming games, five days early, for six hours; and guess which upcoming game is also under the EA umbrella and is awesome and gets awesomer every day? You know which game.  Now people I know some of you are griping about paying for the service to get early hands on play. But you what, it’s only five dollars… You can lose more money ordering from McDonalds, not even including taxes; all you have to do is buy it for the demo and cancel after the game’s release (which is what I’m going to do – unless you like the service then keep it). Stop choking the wallet and invest in happiness, you’ll thank me later.
