theD&A: Opinion on Meaningless Micro-transactions

8/11/2015

0 Comments

Meaningless micro-transactions over free updates and map packs to Halo 5? While I do feel that meaningless micro-transactions don't make Halo a pay-to-win game per se, it does seem to have stirred up some controversy. And what stems from that seem to be either backlash from those who have no interest in the game against those defending with revolt. Is it done well though, for its flaws? ​

The Humble Monthly Bundle just released the list of games for those who had subscribed prior to knowing. And to be fair and honest, for $12, it's still undervalued.

theEXP - Minecraft: Story Mode Episode 2: Assembly Required Review

3/11/2015

Within two weeks Telltale has given us two episodes back to back, while fans of Game of Thrones still have to wait for their finale. The thing is, does releasing episodes early finally give Telltale the reason to make them good? Unlikely so it seems.

We've all tried mobile games once in awhile and some of us have even played them often. Do mobile games really have an audience and are the titles on it really all that compelling? ​

theEXP - Tales from the Borderlands: The Vault of the Traveler Review

20/10/2015

'Your journey ends here', states the Traveler's splash screen. And yes, while another series ends and wraps up, Tales does it in spectacular fashion, one that might even succeed beyond that of The Walking Dead Season 1's acclaim. Let's cut through everything because this finale is an epic power-house of emotions, one that everyone must experience.

Right! Before the finale for Tales comes in under 8 hours, let's review the penultimate episode: Escape Plan Bravo! And considering previous pre-final episodes by Telltale, you should've probably seen it coming. The game, of course.

The statement of “EA turning a corner” seems to be met with heavy criticism after the company and publisher announced the $50 USD season pass for Battlefront. The catch? Nobody knows what the heck is in it. ​

theD&A - Payday 2: Pay2day and Micro-transactions

You don't infuriate the internet. Well, at least you don't infuriate them and get away scot-free. Gabe Newell, CEO of Valve can justify that. But really, has the stance taken by the Payday community deserve to be noticed? To be honest... yes. ​

theD&A - Minecraft: Story Mode Post-Review Discussion

14/10/2015

Picture
Minecraft: Story Mode received several backlash and bad reviews from fans and players alike, causing probably the biggest dip in reviews for the company. While I certainly don't think it's a bad game per se, I do think that these reviews are needed for Telltale to revitalise their already tired genre of video games. This is a post-review discussion of said game.

theEXP - Minecraft: Story Mode Episode 1: The Order of the Stone Review

14/10/2015

To say I was eagerly anticipating the first episode of a series from Telltale on a Minecraft property is pulling it a stretch thin. The game has the same troupes and dance as previous titles from the acclaimed adventure-narrative game developers, but will it succeed with another spin on it? ​

Well Worth the Wait?

Prison Architect released on Steam pretty much back in 2012 as a crowdfunded alpha game. After almost 3 years, the strategy building game roars with tenacity and brilliance - an attribute other early access games can only dream of.

Easy on the Eye 

A few hours ago (8 hours), Humble Bundle, the company who has given us amazing bundles in the past (well, the first few) and allowed us to allocate the cost to give to charity, has come up with a brilliant idea to offer a monthly subscription of game(s)! 

Is this a fantastic idea or a crude one?

The Konami Show - Starring: Konami 

Words came right out of my mouth there. For a sudden, everything was right in the world - or at least, in Konami's offices. September 1st was Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, and then we've got PES lined up! Surely, they can't mess that up... can they? This discussion is also a combination with Fifa 16.

'A Hideo Kojima Game'

The Phantom Fun - theEXP 

As a newcomer to not only the franchise but the world and scale of a Metal Gear Solid game, there is much to taste and wander in The Phantom Pain, Kojima's last hurrah and send-off. 

As acclaimed reviews are flying in left, right and centre -- you don't need me to tell you how great and exceptional Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain truly is. If you haven't bought the game of the year contender because you aren't a fan, fret not: the game is  perfection at the highest degree.
