Why Do People Hate Battlefront?

Apparently some VERY WRONG info has been circulating the internet, mostly from Reddit. It is a graph that compares the new Battlefront to the old Battlefront II. There are many mistakes on this chart and it was created off of only tiny pieces of information found in different interviews at Star Wars celebration.
REMEMBER:
  1. We have NOT seen a gameplay trailer yet. Only a cinematic trailer (using real gameplay).
  2. The game is in the Pre Alpha stage! Not even a Beta yet.
  3. This is a reboot of the Battlefront series. It is GOING to be very different from the original two; so STOP COMPARING!

This article was written only to those who are whining on Reddit right now, not to all those TRUE Star Wars fans.

Watch Dogs 2: It might be great

Watch Dogs was so hyped up. When released it fell very quickly. many people couldn't play it, especially the PC gaming community. Eventually Ubisoft patched it, but the patch actually reduced the quality of the game. When digging through the "Gamer Profile" for Watch Dogs we found a sinister truth. The game's "Deferred Fx Quality" was set to console in order "to reduce the stuttering".
WOW Ubisoft! Don't hold back on the PC master race.

Now Ubisoft is going to make a sequel? People bought the first one off the notion that it would be huge and ever-changing. Now that our dreams have been dashed, why would we buy into that again?

Because the game was still fun. Despite its many flaws, Watch Dogs was still fun on that first playthrough. If Ubisoft has learned from their mistakes then the second Watch Dogs could be the game we really wanted.

What do you think? Will you give Watch Dogs 2 a chance? Let me know in the comments!

I'm Back On Twitch!


Well you probably didn't even know I left. But lets not even talk about that!!

I have come back to twitch twice as strong as last time. I am doing some solo streaming, but many party streams! Me and my friends love to play split screen HALO 4, HALO Master Chief Collection, and Star Wars Battlefront 1 & 2.

How To Support Your Favorite Youtuber (without dipping into your pocket)

Well as it turns out there are several ways you can do this. These tricks can also be used on any kind of channel, not just gaming.
The first, and easiest, way is to just watch their videos. Just by clicking on a youtuber's videos they get paid. Not only because of the ads you see on the video itself, but also the ads off to the side:
The second way to support a youtuber would be liking their videos. The more likes a video gets, the more the video will show up in other people's feeds. This multiplies the first effect because now more people are watching the videos and seeing the ads.

The third way to support youtubers is to just click the ads on their videos. BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS ONE. If you click the ads on all their videos their account will be suspended or SHUT DOWN. So do this last one only every once in a while, PLEASE!!! It would help the money get passed around a little more fairly.

RECAP
  1. Watch all their videos
  2. Like all their videos
  3. SOMETIMES click their ads

HALO 5: Guardians Might Be The End Of HALO?!?


WOW so you're probably here to see why I would think something as "crazy" as this, but in fact this idea is not too far fetched.
HALO started out making the first three a slow, grand shooter series. No sprint just pure wits and skill.
Then along came Reach. UGH...
Then came HALO Wars. Remember that? Sorry for the reminder.
Finally HALO 4 came on the scene. It was a return to Master Chief, newer HD graphics, and.....a sprint ability?!?! Where did this come from?!? Well they actually did try it out in Reach as an armor ability, but it wasn't forced onto every player such as in HALO 4. The HALO community got really upset over this and some people stuck to HALO 3.

Now with the upcoming HALO 5 Guardians many more HALO core gamers are mad because not only is their sprinting; but there is also boost, aim down sights, and THE ABILITY TO HOVER?!?! WTF???
Now obviously this new HALO has come about because of outside influences like Call of Duty, Counter Strike/Global Offensive, Titainfall, and its own internal influence: HALO 4. Will the new people that are drawn to HALO because of the changes offset those who are leaving?  "343" obviously thinks so because they even made a new game-type to cater to the up-and-coming genre of E-sports.
I am of course referring to Arena. It screams E-sports in every aspect. Now if HALO became as big of an E-sport as Counter Strike then this would be worth it for "343" but would this really be HALO? Yes, it would have the 'Chief in it. Yes, it would have all the guns (now with ADS). BUT IS THIS HALO?!?!?  NO!!  Where is the glorious campaign?  We will just have to wait and find out.
As Runner182 puts it: "These new features had better tie into this campaign..." Heres hopin'.

EDIT: As a side note HALO does have a movie, tv series, and now the russian online only version. these are other ways that 343 are making money and can funnel these funds toward their main course: more and more HALO games.
