Top 5 Reasons Why Fallout 4 Will SUCK!

Hey there! I’m Dr. Craigheadpro and you’re watching the Top 5 Reasons Fallout 4 WILL SUCK!

  1. The Fallout 4 Vat System Sucks
Do you really find it enjoyable when the game takes the controller away from you and allows use of auto aim? Where’s the challenge in that? If you don’t know how to aim a cross-hair in a game well there’s no hope for you! You mise well go back to snap shooting in Call Of Duty you unskilled lazy bastards.
  1. Fallout 4 Has Last Generation Graphics
Is this Fallout 3 or Fallout 4? It looks massively last generation to me. I mean that dog doesn’t even have the proper hair it looks like a 2d image! Bethesda I know you make really poor quality games. But don’t try to pass the off as next generation. Because it looks truly awful.
    3. Fallout 4 Is Copy And Paste Development
Remember what I just said about Bethesda being a lazy slob of a developer. Well here’s another reason all Bethesda does is copy and paste rocks and trees everywhere. They have no method to their madness and all their games they have released are still beyond broken. Bethesda is all about the quick buck but keep buying their shit people and they’ll bring the same recycled garbage forward every release that you never wanted.
  1. The Writing In Fallout 4 Is Diarrhea Vomit Sauce
Bethesda needs to fire whoever does the character development and also can all their script writers. It’s the some of the most B rated garbage one could ever across in gaming. Celebrity voice actors are Fallout’s only saving graces. But Fallout 4 is in trouble now because other games do that and about 400 times better. Spare your ears of meaningless dialogue and just don’t pick this one up

1. The World Is Brown, BORING And EMPTY

Bethesda used to be on the free and clear. They were just about the only studio who made open world video games besides RockStar. In the last couple years many studios now do the whole open world concept and do it much much much much better than Bethesda can ever do it. The whole of Fallout 4 will be nothing but empty deserts with soda bottle caps you pick up. There’s nothing in the world that anyone ever wants to see or be apart of.

I’ve been Dr. Craigheadpro. Like this video to help spread the truth about Fallout 4 and if you’re a big raging fanboy be sure to dislike this video and pout in the comment section below. I’ll catch ya next time.

The Top 5 Reasons Why Batman Arkham Knight Will SUCK!

    5. Batman: Arkham Knight Is Rated M for Mature

If you’ve been hiding under rock or you’re just a little kid. You have to know that the Batman Arkham series is made for the age group of about 5 – 15 year old premature little boys. Unfortunately due to how the bat mobile now has guns. The ESRB has rated it M. But don’t be fooled by that rating thinking it’s made for a mature mindset because it’s not. It’s still about selling plastic toys to foolish boys.

    4. Batman: Arkham Knight Has Pretty PC Graphics

The graphics you’re seeing the trailers and more are all being shown from PC footage cranked up to max ultra settings and CGI cut-scenes. In this day and age you need to impress your target audience with pretty graphics that doesn’t even represent the game at all. But buy it on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One and you’ll be left missing all those special bells and whistles. Graphics don’t make a game but in the case of Batman Arkham Knight it’s really the only thing it has going for it which if you’re a console peasant you’ll surely to miss out on.

    3. Batman: Arkham Knight Will Not Be On Xbox 360 And PlayStation 3

Remember when you spent 300 dollars on the last generation hardware thinking it was going to be supported for the next couple years like Sony and Microsoft promised! Nope, won’t be happening here! So you better get on your hands and knees and say MAMMY please put a reserve-mortgage on the house! I need a 400 more dollars so I can play Batman: Arkham Knight on PlayStation 4!

    2. Batman: Arkham Knight Is Only 80% Of The Total Product

Batman Arkham Knight which is published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and developed by Rocksteady Studios has the business over pleasure partnership. Meaning when you spend that hard earned 60 dollars on this game that you probably got from mowing your mommy’s lawn. You’ll only be getting back about 40 dollars worth of content give or take. Content will be stripped out of this game and put behind a pay wall. Welcome to Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment where they rape your wallet and your daddy’s because you’re probably 12 if you buy this!

    1. Batman: Arkham Knight Has Really Dull Combat

The Combat in Batman Arkham Knight will be nothing new or innovative. You have to remember that since the Batman Arkham series is made for young tots. The gameplay also needs to be dumbed down to a sickening degree so 5 year olds can play it. It’s boring, plain and simple. But hey! If you like mindlessly hitting X and Square for 8 hours… Then maybe you should purchase this game because it will be right up your alley.

I’ve been Dr. Craigheadpro. Don’t forget to like this video to open other peoples eyes or dislike it if you’re pouting in your little pillow. I’ll catch you next time!

Would You Buy A Stand Alone Joker Game

Titanfall 2 Thoughts

Respawn Entertainment has recently confirmed it has no plans to show off Titanfall 2 at E3 2015. With lots of rumors and speculation surrounding the multi-platform aspect, though there is some traction about a campaign, the possibility of another Titanfall with little to no story line whatsoever is very real. Most likely we will not see this game till sometime in 2016. Hopefully by then the game has something worthwhile to show fans the sequel will be worth the wait.

Respawn Entertainment’s studio head Vince Zampella says

“For everyone asking, we aren’t showing anything at E3 this year, I’ll get to actually see all the games!”

Fallout 4 Relegating Last Gen Consoles

Fallout 4 will never come to last gen consoles xbox 360 and playstation 3. Fallout 4 was revealed last week for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. It will be set in a post-apocalyptic version of Boston and the surrounding Massachusetts wasteland. As far as a release date that has not been announced but we do know it will take place later this year. 
Community manager Matt Grandstaff says in a statement,
“It is not coming to 360 and PS3 The stuff we’re doing will never work there.”
This is not surprising considering many companies are moving toward relegating last gen consoles. Honestly what are we really to expect with Fallout 4? It’s going to be Fallout 3 but prettier. Hopefully we get our money’s worth in this next installment.

1 Possible Good Thing About Assassins Creed Syndicate

Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate creative director at Ubisoft Quebec Marc-Alexis Côté talks about side missions and how they have been designed to reflect the fight for power in each of Victorian London’s seven districts.

“In Assassin’s Creed we tend to be very generous with the activities that players can engage in, but one of the things that we need to do to modernize the experience is to make sure that those activities make sense for the players – and this is something that we are working on this year,”

Marc-Alexis Côté also goes into more depth about the game.

“Every activity that the player will do will make sense in the narrative quest of the protagonist,” he says. “The goal is to take back London, so all the activities that you will do in the open world will serve that as well as the main storyline.”

This is one of the more worthwhile news articles coming out about the game, having the side quests directly affecting the narrative leads the game to heavily depends on the writers making it worthwhile.

News: Digital Media Is Majority Of Sales In Gaming

Hi there! I’m Dr. Craigheadpro and it seems that Digital media is dominating physical media more and more each year. A study by EEDAR that is sitting on gamesindustry.biz has shown the growth spurts in yearly intervals happening with digital and physical media. This is only a console based study. For PC digital media is by far the successor. However if you look at the different color bars and you’re confused. Here’s what they represent the blue is digital only sales Grey is the sales margin within the first 90 days of release that is both digital and physical and finally the orange represents physical media. If you take a look at the percentages physical media is taking a even larger dive. On the consoles triple A games take up the majority of sales.
 Digital sales take up roughly 66% of video game sales on the consoles like the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and the Wii-U…. albeit a very small margin for the Wii-U. Since 2008 game developers that publish yearly content have seen most prefer digital download. This my friends means that digital media is the future. However buying digital media has risks that physical media does not. Such as refunds. Try getting your money back from Sony or Microsoft. It just won’t happen. However Valve’s Steam has ushered in new ground work for digital media sales by offering refunds given you haven’t played the game long and strongly dislike it.

Also on the other front of DRM which is digital rights management GOG sells DRM free video games to PC users for those who like to enjoy their games without worry of DRM lockouts. A quick reminder for those PC users. The Steam summer sale is here… please enjoy the cheap games or lock up your debit cards. I’m Dr. Craigheadpro and I’ll catch you next time.  

News: The Android Console OUYA To Be Purchased By Razer Inc.

Hello out there I’m Dr. Craigheadpro and Razer may be purchasing the OUYA. According to an article on Engadget.com Razer and OUYA are behind closed doors talking on how to make the OUYA part of the Razer product line. The OUYA which is Android based console was funded using kickstarter and had over 8 million dollars raised to make the product come to a store near you. The OUYA boasted that it would have a library of free to play and try video games that would help the Android games get into the industry more prevlant. However, when the OUYA launched in July 2013 it was met with negative reviews across the board.

Statics later showed that only 27 percent of OUYA owners actually bought a game on the platform. Sadly the OUYA is an ever dying platform that developers do not find useful. I have no idea why Razer which is a reliable hardware company that mainly sells gaming mice and keyboards would be interested in purchasing the OUYA due to how widely unaccepted it is in the gaming community and developer community. But if you’re in the market for wasting your money much like you did when you bought the Wii-U from Nintendo make sure to keep an eye out for the OUYA Razer. I’m Dr. Craigheadpro and I’ll catch you next time.
