Game after game is cool... let's just hope Square-Enix is moving at a... successful pace.
Square-Enix is going hard... and believe me when I say that we like what we're seeing, but as you see in the title image above... they may be pumping out content a little too fast (read on and i'll explain). Mobius Final Fantasy looks awesome and i'm glad that it has a different feel than Final Fantasy Exvius... because (the variety is a great thing but) we need time before a similar type of game gets released. Variety will cater to various gamers based on preference, but if they seek a maximum number of players for a release over a certain period of time... they should give it space on the runway to fly high (before another is approved for take off). I am not mad at this game's August 3rd (2016) release... and as long as they space things out (especially regarding genres), we are able to fully enjoy and appreciate a title versus rushing through it and skim playing instead of taking it all in. Why would we care if Square-Enix moves at a successful pace? I'll put it like this... (hmmm) If they are stable and doing well then the company is fine and remains afloat. I don't see them going anywhere anytime soon, but with the right pace... droughts are hard to come by in terms of game releases. Some of you may have wondered why we've been delivering dose after dose of Square-Enix news... but that's because they've been sending us a lot of it. Anyway, check out the trailer below, and even if pace on releases is a good thing... I want this game... NOW. In MOBIUS Final Fantasy... (created by the team known for FFVII & the pending remake) you take on the role of a dude who wakes up in a place called... Palamecia w/ no memory of his past and... in Square-Enix fashion he is tasked with bringing hope to the world by figuring out the mysterious prophecy surrounding the legendary warrior of light. It's a free-to-play game that fellow gamers in Japan have had the honor of enjoying in 2015 and now its our turn to indulge (soon). By the way... if you preregister for it (which costs NOTHING)... you will receive FFX themed items at launch. See the link below!
So what's been going on at SDGT Ent? Good question! Blu is getting back to 100% while playing a good amount of Final Fantasy Brave Exvius in his down time and I've been playing some Rocket League.
Excuse the language, but... Scoring for the other team?!
Rocket League... Rocket League, these are things that sort of annoy me about the game... outside of missing the ball myself at times (ahhhh). I know its usually placement into matches where someone has bailed out, but have you ever tried to join a fresh game and you can't seem to get into one because you keep getting placed into these matches where your team is already being completely owned? There should be a box that we can select to "Join New Matches Only"... just like in Mario Kart, you aren't just dropped in a match (you are on standby until it ends). Granted that game is a bit different and drop ins keep the match flowing, but... at least the option of going in at the start of a new match will give the option of going that route so that you aren't joining a loosing battle (already in progress.
Also, I have no problem with noobs (everyone is a noob when they begin a new game...) but playing on a team with a noob or just a saboteur who is blocking shots of teammates and scoring for the opposite team... all the while replying "Sorry!"... #OMG that is incredibly annoying. Rocket League Tip: Playing matches with bots is best until one knows which goal to make it into. Outside of in-game action, a Steam Link unboxing video and review of the hardware are coming soon... among several game reviews (and with many more to come after those) and of course... the 2nd DLC adventure will be reviewed for Just Cause 3 as well.
Before I go on to discuss Pokemon Go shenanigans... I just want to fill in all of the Agents here. A new elusive target has appeared on the radar, but... you won't have it as easy as before (even if those weren't 100% easy), because this time you will have to determine which target is the actual target. I'm not talking about strangers here, i'm talking about identical twins. What's the big deal? You can only kill one, and it has to be the right one (not to confuse that with one of them standing on the right) which is Dylan. Potential Tip: I wonder if there will be a slight difference to determine which is which, but we will have to get close enough to hear the right thing... in my opinion, in order to figure it out. That's the only approach I see that can actually shine light on a solution, perhaps one of them will call the other by name, or someone gives away Dylan's position.
Pokemon GO: For Broke Edition?
To all the excited Pokemon GO trainers out there... both young and old, do yourself a huge favor and don't get caught up in the game to the point that you're driving with your eyes locked on the phone to see whether you're close enough to the next capture. Furthermore, watch where you're walking and even consider (strongly) where you're going to catch Pokemon because a game isn't as important as your life. The game doesn't know where you shouldn't go and put yourself in harms way and multiple people have been robbed already, like... (i'm not saying it was deserved but) seriously?! It doesn't matter where you are, if you're so distracted that criminals can get the drop on you... (ummm) that's a bad thing. That's not to say that its a bad game... because they've captured the interest of a lot of people who aren't familiar with Pokemon at all... and these are adults. Based on the info provided to us by Rachel of N6A (thanks Rach'), shows a study down with nearly 2000 adults who give props to the app with 70% of them being happy that its helping them become more active. We usually don't like getting into numbers and stuff like that, so we won't be getting into the rest of the data... but we think its cool because no matter how you slice it, someone is being introduced to a game (which could be one of very few in their life) that is allowing them to enjoy something they probably thought was for kids or simply beyond their age group.That deserves a ka-Ka-KA BOOM! Now if you'll excuse me, I have pizza and cupcakes calling my name! Not literally or... i'd jump out an office window, but... you know what I mean. We're going to the store because ice cream just makes total sense (singing: "We're going on a trip... to get something yummy... pizza and cupcakes with some ice cream for our tummies!"). Game on!

Do we really need to explain what's going on this week? Not for everyone, but (but... but) we are going to say it anyway(!)... "It's time for E3 2016!". So what we plan on doing is making this the link for E3 everything, including the things around the E3 window... and slightly after. I'm going to kick back, eat some left over pizza (#NomNom) and enjoy. Join me (just scroll below). ;)
So stay tuned, share, subscribe and game on!
Hit refresh at times because you may find that something new was posted!
Took awhile, but I took out the Elusive Target. My tip to you would be to look at the specific building and go there to shave down on time, unless they don't give a specific area within a location.
There is some lag due to some high encoding, OBS was notified.
By the way... we're in Orlando, so we couldn't exactly bring news yesterday. It was rather chaotic with the shooting, but what you may not have heard is that the mass shooting was the 4th incident that occurred this past week. Which included the situation with the singer.
When I see stuff like this, I can't help but think of the number of crazies out here who pride themselves on either being irrationally crazy to a murderous extent... or they're simply just crazy as hell and they don't realize it. There are plenty that game too and want to be included with those of us who do not deserve a finger pointed in our direction. They stand alone unless they're with an organization committed to such things. PEACE!
Now that I've gotten that off my chest... lets get back to the action.
I think this is going to be an upswing for PC gamers because low to mid range is usually the peak for the majority of PC gamers. I just might build a new AMD based system. ZhΔn bΓ ng!
Pick your poison below:
Youtube Live @ E3
IGN Live @ E3
No expectations for E3 this year... we're just enjoying... what there is to enjoy. We were talking and that where we ended up, no expectations keeps it simple, eliminates potential disappointment... but if we see something awesome (cool)! Enjoy the live action above, and the things you've missed will be posted below.
Before I get to the first bit of action, I just want to say that I have replaced Blu's... delicious fruit snacks with a huge box and have purchased my own! :p (NOM NOM NOM!) We have our icons ready to roll too.
Did you see the Intergalactic Super Gamer shirts? Those are by gamers (obviously) for gamers and... they are exclusive to the SDGTSHOP! So get a tee & keep it G (I think something cool is going to be popping off with ISG... so we shall see)! The shirt and product colors can be changed to tickle your fancy (and of course the colors you see here represent SDGT!).
E3 is literally this month! I just want to see a bunch of... awesome, I have no expectations (though it would've been super fantastic to see Nintendo NX but...). Speaking of Nintendo, they will be showing other things in addition to The Legend of Zelda.

Roll Throughout Art History in Rock of Ages II: Bigger and Boulder
ACE Team, ATLUS (the game publisher), and Atlas (the Greek god) present the sequel to the hit strategic, rock-smashing, tower defense game!
IRVINE, Calif - June 2, 2016 - It's so gneiss to see you again! The genre-bending Rock of Ages - the part Tower Defense, part Racing, part Art History lesson, and all smashing game from ACE Team - returns with new gameplay, co-op and competitive modes, and more in Rock of Ages II: Bigger and Boulder, coming this fall to PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One as a digital title. In the game, players will explore the uniquely artistic worlds, and take turns in defensive and offensive roles in an attempt to smash open the enemy's castle and crush their dreams of ruling the world (by crushing their corporeal form). For the latest information on the game, you can roll on over to find the latest carvings on the official webstone at www.rockofages2.com
In Bigger and Boulder, Atlas, the Greek God of holding up really heavy things, needs some help recovering the celestial sphere that he might have misplaced. And he definitely needs your help, because all the rulers throughout historical eras are getting in his way; there's no time to gather moss - start smashing down gates! The conquerors in the game are each representative of their different periods of Art History, from Early Renaissance to Late Gothic, and are presented in the series' quirky, Pythonesque, cut-out animation style.
One of the major changes to the gameplay in Rock of Ages II is the emphasis on co-op and competitive play, where up to four players can strategically plan their victory by way of merciless destruction via boulder! There's also been a complete revamp of how resources are accrued in the game, so players will not just have to defend their own castles, but resource nodes as well!
Rock of Ages II: Bigger and Boulder features include:
Up to 4-person Multiplayer - A little friendly competition never hurt anyone, so that's why ACE Team decided to up the gate-smashing stakes by beefing up the multiplayer features of the game. Play with up to four players online in a 2v2 match to the crushing death with the ability to customize banners and colors for your "units." Plus, the tracks now intersect, so you can knock the enemy rocks to get an advantage!
Utter Chaos - Expanding on the first game with a more diverse selection of units and a larger focus on rock-smashing strategy inBigger and Boulder, chaos reigns supreme! Just don't take each turn for granite!
Improved Physics and Destructible Environments - Developed in Unreal Engine 4, Rock of Ages II has upgraded physics and even more things to be cracked, crushed, flattened, and slammed. It's the most fun you can have rolling rocks down a big hill!
ACE Team's Trademark Quirkiness - With humor is turned up to 11, players will literally rock and roll through the ages. Famous historical figures beware!
Rock of Ages II: Bigger and Boulder will roll into digital stores this fall for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One! The best part? Go hands-on with Rock of Ages II: Bigger and Boulder in the ATLUS booth at E3! The game is not yet rated by the ESRB, with pricing details to come later. but check out the latest info carved into the Bigger and Boulder official webstone www.rockofages2.com or the ACE Team Steam Community www.steamcommunity.com/groups/aceteam

There are Cyborgs in the Pyramid – Go Get ‘Em in the New Warface Special Operation, Anubis
Blow up a sub, neutralize a missile base, and destroy a secret cyborg factory in the latest Special Operation to launch on Crytek’s free online shooter
Crytek is taking Warface gamers to fictional east Africa.
Frankfurt am Main (Germany) June 2, 2016 – A futuristic threat is buried within an ancient pyramid in Anubis, the expansive new Special Operation coming to Crytek’s free-to-play online shooter, Warface, today.
Anubis – named after the god of death himself – is an epic three stage co-op mission set in Eastern Africa, where players must battle hard, smart, and as a team. Gamers must work through a network of bases, culminating in an assault on a pyramid, to disrupt Blackwood’s villainous operations.
The action comes thick and fast from the moment the team is inserted into the landing zone, where enemies are at the gate of a missile facility. After infiltrating the complex and disabling the control room, defended by deadly automatic turrets, players must repel assaults from all sides as they battle through a canyon to reach a heavily fortified dry dock. Then it’s time to blow up a Blackwood submarine. Once this objective is completed, players take the fight to the heart of Anubis’ pyramid which houses a clandestine cyborg factory. Gamers must disable the facility and then survive waves of relentless attacks as a sandstorm engulfs the battlefield before extraction.
The new Special Operation’s three diverse stages require players to combine the strengths of the game’s four different classes to take on and eliminate a wide range of enemies. Gamers must adapt their tactics for each stage, from clearing out buildings at close-quarters to holding a defensive line in the face of marauding cyborgs, if they are to complete this action-packed new mission.
Anubis is the latest co-op Special Operation to launch for Warface. New maps, missions, weapons, items, weapon skins, and challenges are regularly added to the game as Warface evolves to serve its ever-growing community.
Watch the new trailer for Special Operation Anubis now at www.youtube.com/warfacegameand sign up to play Warface for free at www.warface.com.
