EA starting out with a different touch... a band (or at least part of one). This is a very nice fit for the new Madden game. I promise if you look back on some of the posts made here, suggestions are coming in handy... because Madden 18 appears to be delivering more depth to be worthy of a purchase. Remember the post awhile back (i'm talking a long time ago) about how its easy to skip over years of Madden, because there wasn't much newness to experience from one year to the next? Yeah that post, I think it may have included Fifa too. - Blu
EA better not do that legacy garbage with Fifa on the Switch. - Luis D. Lucha
It all depends... if it were just a Fifa game with no years attached to it and you pay a small fee for patches that update the roster, that would be worth it for some fans. This would be under the circumstances of EA not planning to do much on the Nintendo Switch. - Blu
The guy Jesse looked nervous like he didn't know what to say. The way they kept looking at the screen as if they were trying to convince viewers they were holding a conversation, looked weird. - Luis D. Lucha
I don't buy these games from year to year, but for them to deliver a story... for you to follow, actually takes you on a journey from year to year. So for the people that invest yearly, I think its a plus... but it's also a way to rope new fans into an annual buy. - Blu
It even got my attention, but I don't play Madden. - Yang
Now that's saying something. - Luis D. Lucha
Need for Speed Payback got some inspiration from... the Fast and the Furious. - RkRk
I suggested that Blu remove a game concept for driving games. Developers shouldn't get free ideas to make millions. Hell no. - Luis D. Lucha
I was in the zone, but... yeah protect your concepts. - Blu
A Way Out... is my kind of game. It reminds me of Army of... Two! - RkRk
Yeah, Army of Two: Prison Edition. - Luis D. Lucha
It looks fun, but you can't play by yourself. - Yang
Options are good, just find someone to play. - Luis D. Lucha
Yeah but if you don't have someone to play with, you can't just play with yourself if there is no CPU option. - Yang
Ha, you fell right into that one. - Luis D. Lucha
You're sick. - Yang
lol There has to be a CPU. - RkRk
Anthem could be a very solid experience if the journey is extensive and it doesn't feel repetitive. I think this is following in the footsteps of Destiny. - Luis D. Lucha
It could be, but I don't know... its a 4 player experience and may have a set adventure structure. Do you feel that it would need to be like Destiny in order to be a success? - Blu
Not really. I wonder if it was made as a response to the game. The developers would probably admit it, but not EA. - Luis D. Lucha
One thing it has going for it is the beauty, but it doesn't need to have set paths. The replay value would be lower than if it were an open world and you took on the missions the way you wanted. - Yang
That's not always true. - Luis D. Lucha
How many games with the same route do you go back and play? - Yang
I'm just saying. - Luis D. Lucha
How many? - Yang
Stay in yo lane! lol Point taken, but I go back and play through the good ones a few times. - Luis D. Lucha
How many times have you played Just Cause games? - Yang
I see where you're going. I didn't think about Just Cause. - Luis D. Lucha
Just Cause 2 and 3 are some of the most replay heavy games i've... ever played. There are rivals, but... I don't know, Just Cause games I find myself just drawn to playing for hours on end. I have JC1 but I haven't played it yet. - Blu
You have many games and haven't played them yet, get back to us when you do. - Luis D. Lucha
Dilemma. - RkRk
Lets get back on topic. Anthem is a good looking game with a name that runs a risk of being lost in the soy sauce. Yang
I thought so too. You have to search "Anthem game"... kind of like you have to do with Vanquish. - Blu
What did you think of Star Wars Battlefront II? I think it was one of the better games presented. - Yang
It just feels like a game that's taking turns with Battlefront. - Luis D. Lucha
It did feel like they were coming out... pretty steady, but this is good. More time to get the bugs worked out (I can wait for frustration-free-fun). - RkRk
Yeah... I couldn't do Battlefield year after year, it divides the community. Remember what happened with Battlefield 3? It felt like the stability was met when 4 was dropped, which was buggy... and then came Hardline. I didn't recommend Hardline to anyone because... it could've been a really good DLC for 4 while they focused on a solid installment. It was paranoia and there were plenty of gamers who appreciated it. I wasn't buying it and didn't feel right to recommend it, especially if the same situation would occur. - Blu
I almost broke an Xbox over BF4, but BF1 is good. So if they do it like that and give each game at least 2 or 3 years it will work good. Do you think Battlefront 2 will be as successful as one? - Luis D. Lucha
That's hard to call. - Yang
I think it will. Battlefront 2 has the single player (which i'm very interested in)... and the multiplayer pluses. They just have to remember that they can't pull punches and slack. Pleased fans... are excited fans... who are also supporting fans that will likely buy day one if its that near and dear.
So how did EA do this E3 2017? I think it was cool, not a wow but... it wasn't bad at all. - Blu
I'll go with what you said. It was a little more than... safe with A Way Out and Anthem. Cool is better than Okay (right?). - RkRk
I think it was okay. Safe game and a few new ones. - Luis D. Lucha
It was good, but the two Rk mentioned are the two I would want to play if I only had two options. - Yang
Friday is off to as much of an awesome start as Thursday was (going back over Gamecom 2016 awesomeness). I have been having a (beach of a) ball... and I hope you are as well. Game reviews are still going on and... (phew) there are just so many games worthy of being reviewed. Taking the time to play and appreciate each one is the biggest challenge of all. (You might be thinking... "What's so hard about reviewing a video game, but i'll explain... just hold your mini horses.) Game reviews are sought so that gamers who want some great insight on what to invest in based on our 1st hand experience (minus the spoilers) have a better direction going into a purchase decision.
That said, hands down... games that we do recommend before the reviews are even finish are:
Check out some co-op survival gameplay below being played on the PS4!
HITMAN... which still has more locations coming our way (as seen below) for fans of stealth games with depth. Do not miss out on this game, they deliver enough variety in locations and objectives to give you various upon various options to complete the missions. I still want to set up some sort of back to back chain reaction to take out a target in spectacular fashion, I just have to do so without being seen... or just knock out a bunch of people to clear the way (but yeah, just something I want to do).
Just Cause 3's review is done... minus the DLC reviews. We recommend this game... because its an open world just waiting for you to dig in and explore as you progress on the adventure (when you want... how you want). Anyway, check out our review and stay tuned for the complete review of all 3 installments of the expansion pass. A trailer of the final DLC adventure from the Air, Land & SEA Expansion Pass can be seen below!
When it comes to Gamescom 2016 there are a lot of games that I want to get my hands on (some coverage is merely a reminder of some of the cool games that deserve to be wish-listed). I want to multiply myself and then come back together after enjoy multiple titles to have the father of all nerdgasms.
One of the games that would be on that list would be No Man's Sky... but (but) I don't know, I want to see more out of this beautiful game in the way of story beforehand. The team has the opportunity to deliver quest after quest when it comes to updates and... that's something that should be in the cards (if it isn't already) so that there is a reason to be... somewhere, even if you don't handle business right away.
Just a thought: What would be really cool is... if the developer teamed up with multiple game developers to feature various DLC adventures in the universe and... they can split whatever percentage of that DLC revenue with the developer for delivering more content. Different developers would bring different perspectives and it would probably make this game... sicker than sick (in theory).
Metal Gear Survive would be one of those games that i'd probably feel weird about playing considering Kojima is no longer heading the franchise, but... i'd play it... keeping a watchful eye on the depth of the story and overall gameplay. I can't and will not forget about Deus Ex Mankind Divided... because that is a must play for me and I wouldn't mind getting my hands on Fifa 17 to see what the new updates are. I didn't go into Gamecom 2016 with any expectations at all... but i'm liking what i'm seeing for the most part.
Greetings... Agent. Don't be alarmed, I merely intercepted the signal to your earpiece to say that I've heard about your next mission... in Bangkok. If you make it alive, bring me back a souvenir. :p This mission is likely going to increase the challenge of taking out your target(s) which include a rock star and his family funded lawyer. I've taken the liberty of listing some of the rocker's work below:
Square-Enix: With all-new opportunities and disguises, plus over 65 different challenges unlocking new gear, weapons, and items, Episode 4: Bangkok is not to be missed.
HITMAN began with a Prologue and Paris location in March, continued with Episode 2: Sapienza in April, Episode 3: Marrakesh in May, the Summer Bonus Episode in July and Episode 4: Bangkok in August. Next will be the United States before the season finale in Japan later in 2016.

Just Cause 3's next DLC adventure is here... and believe me when I say that I look forward to this adventure a bit more than the mech adventure. Why? I'll explain in the review.
Here's what you can expect in the Bavarium Sea Heist adventure:
Liberate the Medici coastal waters of Scolio, home to Eden Research stations and the mysterious “Stingray” base.
Drive the deadly rocket boat “Loochador”, using its multi-lock missile launchers and miniguns to defeat the formidable Black Hand Fleet.
Infiltrate the Stingray base to steal the deadly “Eden Spark” lightning gun and unleash elemental death on your enemies in all new storyline and missions.
Power up the Eden Spark further with mods earned in the “Boat Invader” challenge.
The BAVARIUM SEA HEIST content pack is priced at $5.99 and the entire AIR, LAND & SEAExpansion Pass is available for $24.99.

You know something... if the development team created an option for creative people (such as us) to make scenes in the world of Just Cause 3, something amazing could come of it (organically). I'd love to see what people come up, there are plenty of main NPC, basic NPC and ofcourse... Rico.

We are going to be swooping into the world of BATMAN as told through the story crafting pro's at TellTale games. We look forward to reviewing this title as soon as humanly possibly and... we also are pushing a little something AWESOME... closer to launch. We've provided a question to our contact at TellTale to see if they've ever considered giving us the option of a VR view in games such as BATMAN... and The Walking Dead. I really think that they'd be able to take the cool to the next level because the depth (if you have the VR headset & compatible hardware) would go beyond a 10... in my opinion.
EA starting out with a different touch... a band (or at least part of one). This is a very nice fit for the new Madden game.
