GTAV Review






    GTAV has been out for a while now. I waited until it was on sale before I picked up my digital copy. Honestly well worth the full price. So I have played all of the Grand theft auto games since they went third person. Vice City had been one of my favorites. The stony was so close to the movie Scarface which is close to my heart.
    I am going to forgo the specefics of the game. It has been out for a while and there are a lot better writers out there who have written up the mechanics of the game. Instead I will write what the game means to me and why I love/hate it.
    The story is really engaging. Most people who review or play the game say Trevor is one of the more interesting characters in any game. I disagree. For me Franklin s story is much more entertaining. Young kid coming up from a bad life on the hard streets trying to make life better.
    The true Glory of GTA5 isn't the extra side stuff. Everyone has been so enamored by how much side content there is. For me it is all about the cut scene interactions. The acting and writing is top notch. There has been a lot of write up on how games  have been top tier quality in telling stories. It is nowhere more evident than in GTA5.
   For me the side stuff is more annoying than it is fun in most cases. After I played through the story and some of the side quests I felt pretty complete. So I can't say this game has replay value. Though I say that not having played the online portion.
     Overall score 1 to 5 1 for thumbs up 0 for no thumb equaling 5
Graphics/Art = 1
Story/Writing = 1
Audio = 1
Immersion = 1
Mechanics = 1 (thank god GTA4 had terrible mechanics)

5 out of 5

Elder Scrolls Online!

   Lately I have been playing ESO on PS4. I have to say it has been a great experience. It is every bit as good as past Elder Scrolls games. So well written and beautifully crafted. The quests are full of story and life and lead you expertly across the land. The many different stories are not only written well but voice acted amazingly. Best voice acting in a open world RPG I have every played. I am having a ton of fun.     I even stuck my feet into the PVP. Even helped take a keep. But for the most part since I didn't have a group to run with and I didn't have a mount yet I found PVP to not be as rewarding as questing. I will try again though this time with a mount  and some friends if i can find a good pvp guild.     I also the other night did my first dungeon. I am a sorcerer and flip between destruction staff and restoration staff skills. So I was the healer for the dungeon. For sure not as easy to heal as any other MMO. Directional AOE h...

It is ok to hate a Game!

                These days ever game franchise and developer and publisher have their faults. Some have many. EA has a lot and Bioware has really squandered some good opportunities like SWTOR. Their are a lot of things about Bioware game that a lot of people don't like. It looks like EA is going to do everything it can to continue its aggressive DLC policy.       With all that said it is important to look past all the BS. Look at what is put on the shelf and ask yourself is this game worth the price. Will I enjoy this and will it make me happy. Even with all the things I don't like about this game or this company will I still enjoy this? Don't listen to the hype or the haters. Just ask yourself what your opinion is on this game.      For me at this point Bioware games (including SWTOR) have hit every sweet spot in what I am looking for. I know without even looking at ...

Game Reviews!?! Worth reading?

             It should be pretty apparent at this point that by and large Mass Media Reviewers/Critics have huge problems. The problems are varied. They are paid to lie, they have a vendetta going into their review, they feel they can drive more traffic to their review if they nitpick the negatives and probably the biggest but least talked about is the reviewer either hates or doesn't understand the genre he is reviewing.                  Big Triple A official or professional reviews cannot be trusted. To often it becomes apparent that the reviewer is basically blowing smoke at us for the sake of keeping friendly with the games publishing company. Sometimes they are just outright paid for fluff pieces (allegedly). If the reviewer is mid to low range in popularity he/she is probably not going to bite the hand that feeds them. EA and other companies have shown thy will blacklist certain reviewers from review c...
