Call of Duty: Infinite What Happened?

Infinite What Went Wrong

There's no need. This is the perfect time to copy Battlefield, instead of going off an an interstellar tangent.

Oh wait, they did copy Battlefield 2142. Previous statement regretfully retracted.

Although, I didn't expect the critical out-lash surrounding this not-so-highly-anticipated upcoming title.

You see, I didn't mind Black Ops III at all. The campaign (I am the only one who plays them?) was a mixture of Modern/Advanced Warfare and I found the Nightmare mode a nice bit of extra-content.

Although in any Black Ops game, I play zombies. Only zombies. In multiplayer, I'm always on the killcam - as the one being killed. I got scalped once.

Zombies mode has come a long way since useless barricades and lazy enemy repeats. Between every map, my tactics shift; and it's gotten more challenging over the years, even as the "story" gets more convoluted (btw what happened to Richtofen?)

I started out with Goldeneye, Doom and Ghost Recon. Then only Battlefield 2.

It wasn't until Modern Warfare, Call of Duty has been my go-to FPS of the year since; mainly because it's actually released every year, unlike Battlefield's two-year (now three year) development cycle.

I liked Battlefield 3 a lot though. The story was like a fast-paced 2011 Modern Warfare and for aforementioned reasons, I never even thought of launching multiplayer. I'm honestly laughably terrible.

Which is a little strange, because I fare decently well in any 3rd-person shooter like The Division sans Dark Zone.

Battlefield 4 has nice looking environments although its premature release spawned a hoard of bugs and virtual pitchfork bearers, spewing even more vitriol post Mass Effect 3 ending. Yikes EA. At least you guys have DICE.

I skipped Hardline for obvious reasons; I prefer GTA online, thanks though.

CoD seemed to have abandoned its roots though over the past two years and I'm not quite sure what's happening with Infinity Ward circa MW3.

Battlefield 1 though (name is not at all confusing) assuming it's a reboot, is returning to its very essence, WWI. That's impressive and in game industry terminology, it's called being "innovative".

Not necessarily inventive, as it may be Battlefield 1942 with a setting of minus 25 years.

In the FPS world it's called progressive.

Forza Motorsport 6: Apex Review - Part 3

FORZA MOTORSPORT 6: APEX Favorite Gameplay Component My favorite gameplay component of Forza Motorsport 6: Apex is altering and tailoring my driving style to the conditions of the race. If ever I attempt to reach top-speed on a wet track such as Brands Hatch United Kingdom, the vehicle spins off track and out of control. That’s a challenge for me, as my strategy isn’t so much into drifting, but in staying as straight as possible, so that I can reach over to 200 km/h -- keeping within a controllable limit. Another method of mine I had to retire -- and this is coming from the likes of Asphalt 6: Airborne and Mario Kart Double Dash - - which is ramming into players. I quickly found out in a vehicle simulator under the laws of natural physics, this reduces my speed on impact. There are also frequent bottlenecks at turning points in the track; luckily I can use my best strategy and I find this to be the best opportunity to strategically slip past other cars when an opening ...

What Went Wrong With ME Andromeda's Facial Animations

It's in the Eyes The human iris has a natural in half-moon shape, with the upper eyelids covering nearly half of the iris. In Mass Effect Andromeda, the characters' irises are dead in the center of their eyes, with the upper lids way too high for it to look anything but unnerving. To top it off, most of the characters' eyes are far too wide and the lower lids are way too low - which only adds to the creepiness factor - especially during a lengthy conversation. Characters like Addison, have faces that simply look frozen in shock. The characters in Andromeda, also have extremely prominent pupils; and to top it off, their eyes constantly dart about unnaturally. This not in regular saccades like we do when looking back and forth between subjects. Coupled with very wide eyes, this looks downright terrifying. Horrendous Facial Expressions To make matters worse, the mouths of many characters in Andromeda...
