Part 3, the final part, of my three part series of the bad multiplayer takedown. We end on my strongest basic class: the Engineer. Will I finally succeed in finishing a match without dying? I don’t remember, so let’s all watch it together and find out!
Welcome to Part 2 of my bad multiplayer takedown, featuring the next primary class: the Solider. Again edited out the beginning because the info’s no good anymore, but the rest, still comedy gold! Enjoy!
OK people, this recording was made a week ago so the is a little dated. Heck I had to cut the beginning out because I mostly talked about the early access deal. However the rest is still relevant and amusing. So enjoy watching me play multiplayer poorly, I know I do. This is part 1.
You know, when Splatoon 2 was announced some people thought Nintendo missed an opportunity for word play on the title itself. However that’s incorrect, I mean how would that work: ‘Spla-2’ or ‘Splatwo’ or ‘Splatwoon’ or ‘Splatwoon 2: electric boogaloo’. Nintendo does silly, but not stupid, and cramming a 2 in Splatoon somehow would be stupid. Now since that was addressed, on to the video.
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.
Well people, you’ve guess right once again: multiplayer is now a thing in the upcoming Dragon Age: INQUISITION game. Now objective based Co-Op multiplayer in something like Mass Effect isn’t too much of a stretch; but in a fantasy, stat heavy, no guns reality of Dragon Age – well I had some concerns. However this trailer put those concerns to rest as Inquisition’s co-op will be more dungeon craws than run & gun. You play as an agent of the Inquisition who with four others (I think) will go on adventures to strengthen the organization as a whole. Players can choose 12 different classes for their agents and customize their class, weapons, and armor accordingly – just like in the single player game. And of course work together in each adventure not only to survive but to get the sweet lootz afterward to further pimp out your avatar. Ah BioWare I never should have doubted you – multiplayer, as well as the rest of the game, will be out this November.
Ladies and Gentlemen, video games are an awesome entertainment medium that deserves the utmost respect and dignity of its station. However one should never forget that video games are just games and are meant to be enjoyed and only taken so seriously. Unfortunately many online gamers tend to forget that fact and let their temper get the better of them. Today’s entry is about one such gamer. Ok see if this sounds familiar: you’re playing Mass Effect 3’s multiplayer in hopes of getting credits or increasing your level for one of your character (both is true in my case today). Well, all of a sudden, the host leaves and leaves you rebooting the level, usually by yourself. Figuring I was going to wipe without more players I decided to have fun and go Rambo on the enemies (plus it was the Bronze level so at least it wouldn’t be over to soon). I was holding my own well enough for the first two rounds, and then to my surprise a player show up. As a fair Omnigamer and internet journalist we will refer to this player as Y.V.102. He joined me as we moved on to the 3rd wave of the stage, which was hacking a console (an impromptu King of the Hill game with aliens and/or robots). Well, as I said before, a wipe was inevitable without more people (at least three) and hacking events are the toughest ones because enemies respawn at an alarming rate. I was the first to fall, but I took a lot down with me; 102 got me up but being a Krogan (and they’re capable of many good things) I can’t dodge or move with any instant quickness and fell back down again. It took less time for 102 to get beaten, being a squishy human and all. Well instead of waiting for more players and trying again he let loose a stream of expletives that sort of reminded me of Bill O’Reilly and Alec Baldwin rants: sad and a little funny. Then 102 leaves, probably late for angry management classes. This was a very unique instance for me; not so much for meeting a rude player online, but rather 102 was the perfect example of ‘Rage Quit’ (even did it in the right order). So much so in fact I award him the very first ever Video Game Armada DeAchievement – Rage Quitter of the Year. So friends and love ones of 102 (and you know who you are) give him a round of applause, slap him on the back, and tell him congratulations, it’s not everyday someone can quit so hard that they become #1.
In all seriousness some gamers need to…
