The complaints revolve around ...*drum roll*....online features. NOT SURPRISED.

 

 

Cant wait for the 30th, it has been a while since i got out the wheel

Far Cry 4's location has been announced, it will take place in the Himalayas, and the release date is Nov. 20th. Many fans are outraged by the fact that they are making an old-gen version, as if Far Cry 3 somehow was not still an awesome game on the "terrible" old-gen systems.

Yeah, it sucks Nintendo is so far behind on online play. The good news is most of the complaints so far are about being unable to play/chat with your friends online and since most of us have no friends that own a Wii U it shouldn't be a much of a problem.

 

Speaking of no one owning a Wii U, Nintendo better come hard with their E3 announcements. I'm talking about at least one major game for Christmas 2014 (Zelda?) to go with Smash Brothers and some other surprises, like glimpses of the new 3D Mario in development and whatever the f*** Retro Studios is working on (Metroid please). If Nintendo focuses on something lame like a hypothetical Wii U Music then it's time to put down the Wii U once and for all Old Yeller style. Nintendo can't afford another poor E3 with PS4 & Xbox One in the mix.

What are the odds that well ever see a Zelda game on a PS4 (Or whatever the next one will be called)

 

Maybe?...

Unless Sony buys Nintendo, 0%

Nintendo is significantly better off than Sony financially so if anything you'd be seeing Sony IPs on Nintendos system. Not that that has any chance of happening either.

I was wondering about that after I posted because it seems to me Sony's been struggling quite a bit in recent years.

Yeah it's a compete dumpster fire of a company. They've been getting rid of their divisions piece by piece for a few years now starting with their music then their pcs and now their tvs. It manages to lose money in every single division it runs (which is a ton) except for selling insurance, oddly, and sometimes spiderman makes them a pretty penny.

And the Spiderman films are trending down in terms of box office. Hopefully that leads to Sony selling the character rights back to Disney/Marvel.

I imagine the Spider-Man rights would be worth at least a billion.

Pocket change for Disney

True, but they may just opt for Sony to stop making the films.

 

Also, finally started The Show. A bunch of ratings on the Sox are out of whack, but otherwise it's fun as hell. After I adapted to the new controls (last The Show I owned was 2010), I crushed my friend (Cardinals) with the Sox. Abreu with 2 HRs.

Over 12 games into my franchise and Abreu still doesn't have a home run :/

In my RTTS, I am in the year 2017 or 2018, and Abreu is on the Red Sox, hitting cleanup.

Damn.

For some reason I can't find out what year Abreu got moved to the Red Sox or how, but his career numbers have been thus....

 

2014 - .243, 25 HR, 65 RBI

2015 - .298, 39 HR, 121 RBI

2016 - .289, 30 HR, 89 RBI

2017 - .232, 35 HR, 97 RBI

2018 (couple weeks left) - .251, 29 HR, 107 RBI

 

158 career HR in his first 5 seasons. Not too shabby. He is only an 80 overall though.

Just watched an hour long livestream of Watchdogs by IGN. And it was awesome. They didn't want to do any story stuff, for fear of spoilers, but they did some side missions and some random events and it was pretty awesome. It's really fun to just spy on people and read about their life. They hacked in to some guy's laptop, and it showed he had like restraining orders on him or something and the guy was in his apartment watching the girl across the street with his binoculars and saying stuff like "Oh yeah girl, you don't need to be wearing that, just get comfortable" and it was pretty funny.

 

Then right as the stream ended, the person controlling it was running around and just beating up people. Well this girl on the corner pulled out her phone to call the cops. So he runs over there to her, says "Give me that" and grabs her phone and spikes it in to the ground. LOL. It was f***ing hilarious.

Another livestream session of Watchdogs, starting in a few minutes......

Can't wait to pick it up on Tuesday.

 

I'm having a lot of fun with the Show right now, but Watchdogs is way more enticing.

Going on a trip for two weeks, but once I get back I'm going to dive right into Watch Dogs and Second Son.
