December is relax time for me. It's the first month in a while where I play games for fun instead of for review purposes. I plan to journey on in my restart of Skyrim on PC and make time to catch up on a large pile of games, including Saints Row: The Third, Battlefield 3 (PC) and Forza Motorsport 4 while making sure I begin Arkham City, Assassin's Creed Revelations and Uncharte
Geographic location on the other hand is a strange one. Perhaps a player needs to move often, and that is outside of their control. Perhaps players need to use VPNs for undisclosed reasons, and that too may be out of their hands. Whatever the case, it would be fascinating to know more about how Valve uses this d
The Ursus blade is an interesting survival knife that can look great depending on which finish it uses. Ursus knives also have a chance of playing an animation in which the player throws the weapon up into the air before catching it, which is a nice touch. Fans of this ever-popular title go wild for this
The title still has a large player base thanks to the great gameplay and constant patches — bringing with them new content, skins, and metas. These skins give the game that extra splash of color by sprucing up players’ weapons, making the cosmetics very desira
The Skeleton Knife in Urban Masked looks simple and allows you to appreciate the design and shape of the knife itself. The knife has a hole in the middle of it between the handle and blade, making it one of the most interesting weapon designs to date. Urban Masked is a skin that looks almost the same in all conditions besides Battle-Scarred, so you can opt for a cheaper version and be largely unable to tell the differe
Newcomers need to learn dozens of characters and abilities, and master the complex maps all while probably getting yelled at by angry Siege veterans over the mic. While learning and playing Rainbow Six Siege can feel very satisfying, it certainly will take dedicat
This December my gaming focus is squarely centered on the PS3 versions Skyrim and Assassin's Creed: Revelations . I still have yet to give Arkham City a whirl, but it is on my short list to play. On the PC front I'm still playing Deux Ex: Human Revolution . What can I say? I'm a perfectionist, and it's a great game. Racing games have never been my forte but Forza Motorsport 4 will be the next game I purchase as I try to broaden my horizons a bit. However, I'm still itching with anticipation for Mass Effect 3 , and wonder how many play-throughs of ME2 I can manage before I get my conditions "just right." Stay safe during the holidays Rant
Widely considered to be one of the parents of the modern battle royale, Player Unknown's Battlegrounds has come a long way since its days of fame in early access. Though the player count isn't as high as it once was, PUBG has only improved on its mechanics since launch. It has stayed true to its identity and provides a challenging alternative to games like Fortnite or Call of Duty: Warzone , where players can usually rack up eliminati
Escape From Tarkov is punishing on all fronts. In most games, players need to lose to learn. Tarkov punishes players for losing though, as all equipment brought into the field is lost upon death. On the flipside, players can get massive rewards for beating another player by taking their loot h
Ultimately, we can only really guess as to how Valve weighs each of these points, or if it even uses all of them at all in determining a Trust Factor value per player account. There is much more to consider, and everyone should take the time to check out the patent for themselves. It can appear to be a long, daunting read, because it is, but there are some interesting pieces of information to glean from such an endea
As a result, DotA 2 is overwhelming for newcomers. Playing the game is like learning a new language. Nothing really makes sense, and the terms and strategies don't really carry over from any other game (except other MOBAs). Like Counter-Strike , this game has a large pre-established player base that will probably be toxic to newcomers from the get
Like CS: GO, Half-Life universe Connections DotA 2 has built a massive player base and Esports scene over many consistent years of popularity. DotA 2 is one of the big MOBA-style games that dominate the market, alongside League of Legends . DotA 2 sports a staggering 123 playable characters, all with unique play styles and strategies. Like any MOBA, learning characters, items, and match times are important for succ
With Black Friday over, I can now say that I'm looking forward to stabbing into Assassin's Creed: Revelations and Rayman: Origins which I picked up during the holiday hustle. I'm also almost finished with my second play through of Deus Ex: Human Revolution which is showing me just how many different ways there are to go through that game. I'm also going to grind out some more trophies for Uncharted 3 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Reco
