Back in March of 2016, I wrote a review of The Division – Vulgamification in my terms – where I praised the game quite a bit. At the time, I was enjoying the game, and I felt there was plenty of content for the money I invested. Eventually, the content seemed a bit stale, but that’s because I was playing...

Opinionated [The Division]: This is my jam
The Division is a slow burn. There’s really no other way to describe it. I played the hell out of the Beta when it was available, and I picked up the Gold Edition of the game which – as I’m sure you know – launched yesterday. Do I regret purchasing the season pass up front now that the game is...
Opinionated: What I think the Witcher 3 Wild Hunt is missing
I absolutely adore The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, but then again who doesn’t? However, there is one thing that I feel is missing — two if you count the player storage.
Opinionated: If you’re being a twat, stop it
One odd habit that I have is when someone talks shit, throws out an insult or is just being a fucking twat I feel the need to offer credentials. This is silly, and I know I’m not the only one that does it. I don’t owe trolls a damn thing and I certainly don’t need to explain myself to strangers...
Opinionated: Free-to-play is complete trash, and it is hurting the industry
Most free to play games on the market, whether they are available on PC or mobile are utter trash. “But wait there are one or two decent games on the market!” Nope, you’re probably wrong and here’s why. I’m not calling them trash simply because of their gameplay, even though most of them are terrible. Games like Path of Exile,...
Opinionated: Why I’m excited for Toukiden
I’m a Monster Hunter guy. I realize some gamers out there hate the genre, but I’m not one of them. Recently, I downloaded the Toukiden demo from PSN to my PS Vita. I’ve been jonesing for a Monster Hunter style game for a while, and Soul Sacrifice doesn’t really scratch that itch. Soul Sacrifice is a fantastic game in its...
Opinionated: Sony should team up with the CFW scene
Since I purchased my PS Vita, one of the games I’ve constantly had the desire to play is Monster Hunter Portable 3rd. If you’ve read any of my other posts then you already know I’m a huge MH fan. The problem is, my UMD copy of MHP3 is not compatible with my Vita. Even if it was, there is no...
Opinionated: How the Vita saved gaming [for me, duh]
Touch controls are the fucking worst. I don’t care what mechanics a game has, if the controls utilize touch for movement, aiming or any combination of the two I hate it. I’m on the development team of Tales of Illyria, a choose-your-own-adventure/oregon-trail style RPG for Android. Why am I touting that? Our game doesn’t use touch controls for movement. We...
Opinionated: Why I’m okay with being an anti-social gamer
I do enjoy playing games with others, most importantly family. My little brother and I are separated by an ocean as he’s currently stationed in Aviano, Italy. That means when we get a chance to play games together I dive right in. That being said, I’m definitely an anti-social gamer. I prefer to spend a majority of my time plowing...
Opinionated: Marvel vs. Capcom 3, destroyer of friendships!
I normally prefer to play multiplayer games. I feel that a social element is only beneficial to the whole entertainment experience. However, sometimes it’s a gambit, and this is one of those times. A lot of people I meet think of themselves as true contenders when it comes to this game, which is why battles get so heated. The funny thing...
Opinionated: My “experience” has evolved, is it from personal growth or an industry change?
This is probably going to be one of the strangest editorials I’ve ever written, if only because of the topic and the context. Because of that simple fact, I have a feeling the audience for this will be mixed. Some people will really understand the brevity of what I’m saying, while others will snicker and talk shit. That’s alright, go...
