My Experience With MLB The Show 19

Image
As a sports enthusiast, I always get excited when the release of a new sport comes out. MLB The Show is the first sports video game release of the year, I spent 3 days with the game and have tried every mode that the game offers. This is not a review of the game just an everyday normal guy having an experience. After the game finished downloaded ( which takes forever these days), I went through the typical tutorials which have not changed from last year. Finished that and got my settings and controller figured out so I jump into an exhibition, as a Cubs fan I choose them and face off against the defending champs the Boston Red Sox. The gameplay has changed a small bit to a point where you feel the changes but until hour 6 I couldn’t tell you what those improvements were. The fielding felt smoother, The batting stances were way more accurate than they have been in recent years. The pitching had not changed at all which I love because I felt the pitching was as good as it could ...

Is WWE 2K19 A Good Wrestling Game?

Image
Is WWE 2K19 A Good Wrestling Game? Another year has went by which means another WWE video game has released. This year we saw 2K release WWE 2k19 on October 5th which means it has been out for a whole month. I have spent some time with every feature and mode and i have quite a bit to say about it.  Did 2K improve this game from WWE 2K18? In some aspects they did but before we get into the really good things we have to address the bad things that comes with every release of a WWE game.  The Cons I have been playing wresting video games all of my life and ive played some bad ones (Wrestlemania 2000, TNA Impact, Both RAW games, etc) Ever since 2k purchased the rights to make the WWE games it appears we always have the same issues. Every year the game lacks content, you might get a good 2 month which is honestly me stretching it for what its worth and after those 2 months you have done everything and it becomes a boring game. I played WWE 2K19 this past week...

Rockstar Games Deserved To Be Held Accountable

Image
Rockstar Games Deserved To Be Held Accountable  Well it has reached that time, I have been putting off this blog for about 2-3 months but with the recent controversy i feel it has to be said. Rockstar has been behind some of the best games both game play and visually. Games like the Grand Theft Auto series, Bully, & The Red Dead Redemption Series. Rockstar has been relevant every year since the release of Grand Theft Auto 3 and even most relevant this year with Red Dead Redemption 2 coming out.  The issue with Rockstar games is simple on my end as i see how big they have become since the release of Grand Theft Auto 5 and still they have not matured into a professional company. All gamers alike have protested games for the past 3-5 years about Micro-transactions but Rockstar has succeeded from that plan. GTA 5 Online which has kept the game alive for all these years has been ran full of Micro transactions but like i always predicted no one holds them responsi...

Sony Announces PSN Name Change Beta

Image
Sony Announces PSN Name Change Beta After years and years of players wanting this feature it seems like Sony is finally starting the process for it. The past few months speculations of this happening have been strong but today Sony came out and said a Beta would start for selected users in late November and if all goes well the feature should roll out in 2019.  The first time changing your name will be free but anytime  after that it will cost you $9.99 USD/CAD, or $4.99 USD/CAD for PlayStation Plus members. It seems the past month Sony has been doing alot of fan fare. We have seen some great game deals, The update to PS Now, and now tis feature fans have wanted for years.  You may ask why must there be a beta for a simple name change? well games before April 1st, 2018 may not support or recognize the change and cause errors. If you would get errors Sony has said it is fixable and you can always revert back to your first PSN ID anytime for free....

Sony Releasing A Playstation Classic

Image
Sony Releasing A Playstation Classic Well, it finally happened Sony did what Nintendo has been doing and have made a classic full of Nostalgia. Just like the NES & SNES classic The PlayStation classic will be preloaded with 20 games. Not all 20 games have been confirmed but Sony has released a few games that will make it on the console which include Final Fantasy VII, Tekken 3, Jumping Flash, Ridge Racer Type 4, and Wild Arms.  The PlayStation Classic will come with 20 games, 2 classic-styled PlayStation controllers, an HDMI cable, and a power cable all for a price of $99. If you want this I would preorder this quickly as I fully expect this will sell out very fast. The PlayStation Classic is set to release in November and I am fully excited for it.  A few games I would like them to add are Metal Gear Solid ( The game that helped sell Playstations) Final Fantasy Tactics, Crash Team Racing, Resident Evil 3, and so many more I can name. The price migh...

Is Marvel Spiderman The Best Super Hero Game?

Image
Is Marvel Spiderman The Best Super Hero Game? When we talk about superhero video games there have been some very bad ones (Any superman game, Spiderman 3, or Thor) But, over time we have seen some great (nearly perfect) superhero based video games. Games like The Batman Arkham Series, The X-Men games, The Infamous series, and Spiderman 2.  I'm here to argue that Marvel Spiderman is not only the best Spider-Man game but the best superhero game to ever release. Marvel Spiderman took a comic book character who has not had a good game in 2 console generations and made him relevant. The last good Spider-Man game was Spider-Man 2 which was released all the way back in 2004. That is 14 years of average and below average games for the web crawler. Why do I think it is the best Superhero game of all time? What makes it different than Batman Arkham or even better than Spider-Man 2? Marvel Spider-Man does a perfect job pleasing the comic book, movie and video game...

Who Won The Console War This Generation? Xbox One Or Playstation 4

Who Won The Console War This Generation? Xbox One Or PlayStation 4 In the world of gaming we have this problem, in reality, it has turned down into an issue with every game release. Is there even a console war? Well kinda, Microsoft and Sony could care less about a "war" as both companies are just trying to make the most money. The war comes from fans who either Just own an Xbox One or a PlayStation 4 who berate the other system. In this blog, I will be running down the pros and cons of both systems and see who actually won.  Before we talk about the console war I figured we have to talk about the Nintendo Switch. The Switch was released very late in the generation with a March 2017 release. The Switch brought respect back to the Nintendo name and since its release, it has been selling like hot cakes as it became the fastest selling console in Japan. The Switch has had third party support with games like Doom, Wolfenstein 2, & Skyrim coming to the console. ...

2 Year Look Back At Mafia 3

Image
A 2 Year Look Back At Mafia 3 Mafia 3 came out 2 years ago on October 7th and with it being Free for PS plus I think now is the best time to talk about it. 2 years ago I played Mafia 3 on launch day on Xbox One and the past 6 days I have played it with all the updates on PlayStation 4. This article is about what has improved and if the game is worth a good playthrough. Comment down below on how you feel about this game as well. The Story The one thing that no update can change is the actual story of the game. The strongest part of Mafia 3 is the in-depth realistic story mode. In Mafia 3 you take control of Lincoln Clay in 1968 which is a high point of racism in America and even more in the south. (Spoilers Ahead) The game does a good job of using the first 2 hours of building the world and letting you get to know each and every main character. Lincoln sees his brother & Father by “adoption” killed by men who thought were cool with them.  Thro...
