Dead Cells

Dead Cells Review: Death Has Never Been So Addictively Fun

Novara Skuara

There are games that hold your hand, whisper words of encouragement, and gently teach you how to play. Dead Cells is not that game. Instead, it throws you into a procedurally generated dungeon with a sword, a scowl, and a sarcastic shrug like, “Good luck, you’ll need it.” This side-scrolling action-platformer roguelite (say that five times fast) delivers a brutal, fast-paced, and surprisingly elegant experience. If the idea of dying repeatedly while slowly learning from your mistakes sounds like your kind of Friday night, then buckle up—it’s about to get beautifully chaotic. A Roguelite That Actually Likes You… Sort Of Let’s talk genre for a second. Dead Cells fits squarely into that delightful little box labeled Metroidvania Roguelite. Translation? Expect a lot of running, slashing, jumping, backtracking, dying, muttering things under your breath, and then doing it all over again—but slightly better this time. Each run is procedurally generated, meaning…

Onisac Gnitteb

Onisac Gnitteb

CBD oil has staked its claim as one of the most potent and beneficial cannabis products. If you have noticed anything since CBD exploded into popularity, not all CBD oil is created equal.  Just as if we have numerous types of CBD products such as CBD edibles, tinctures, topicals and more, CBD oil also exists in different spectrum forms:  Full-spectrum CBD oil  CBD oil features all the natural cannabinoids (including less than 0.3% THC) and other hemp plant components, such as vitamins, terpenes, and fatty acids.

Soeren Kamper

The guys over at DICE have a small patch releasing on May 28 which aims to address a selection of issues that they have found, but also makes changes to the current milestone requirements for some of the appearances, including Darth Maul’s Old master. The Devs are making changes to the appearance milestone requirements, and instead of requiring you to defeat 5,000 enemies with a specific hero, this can now be done for any hero on their respective side. This means that for Darth Maul’s Old Master appearance, you will no longer need to defeat 5,000 enemies as Darth Maul, but as any hero on the Dark Side. Defeating enemies as a Light Side hero will be required to unlock the Luke Farmboy and Princess Leia appearances. As a team, they would like to give a shout out to those who have already unlocked the Old Master Appearance, the Force…

Is FIFA Ultimate Team a Form of Gambling?

Onisac Gnitteb

The original FIFA series has been around for over two decades, but it wasn’t until 2007 when FIFA Ultimate Team was introduced. The first, an X-box 360 version, was rolled out before the next main FIFA Ultimate Team — FUT — joined the franchise in 2009, and it instantly became a hit. It is a simple game; you choose your ultimate team of players from actual football leagues depending on performance and preference. You gain points when your team performs well, with which you can buy a new team. You can also buy points with real money. Main Types of FUT Cards They present details of a player, and they come in three forms; Standard — or Regular, Rare, and Special.

Troubling Times for EA Star Wars Games

Troubling Times for EA Star Wars Games

Lisa Clark

We’ve written quite a bit here about the rise and fall of so many Star Wars games. In recent years, this has always included talk of Electronic Arts. That’s because EA are the only ones who can make Star Wars games, at least for now. On May 6, 2013, Disney and Electronic Arts announced that the two companies had signed a ten-year deal to make Star Wars games. This would be a deal that many would later question, as it doesn’t seem to be working out for either party as well as they had hoped. It’s certainly not working out for the fans the way that we had hoped. Kotaku recently published a piece that talks about this exact problem – EA’s Troubled Decade of Star Wars Games. Here’s part of what they had to say: ““Back in 2013, Star Wars was in a rough place. The most recent movie had been 2005’s Revenge of…

Damion Schubert Former SWTOR Dev on Loot Boxes

Soeren Kamper

With all the controversy about EA’s business model for Star Wars: Battlefront 2,  former SWTOR developer Damion Schubert offer some insights on the hated lootboxes. The whole conversion can be found on twitter and in our copy pate below: Damion Schubert was the Senior Designer/Lead Designer/Director of Microtransactions Design at SWTOR (May 2006 – October 2014). He was responsible for initial conception and design of key new F2P, monetization features, including random pack design, dye mods, minipets, player vehicles and animal mounts, and player housing (according to his Linkedin profile) Let’s talk lootboxes, and how annoying it is to watch AAA publishers fuck them up from the perspective of someone who has to design to them. (1) I’ve been working in Free-to-Play games for 4 years, and loot boxes are pretty crucial to that business model working. But it *is* possible to do them ethically, and they are super easy to fuck up….

Game Update 4.0 New Feature: Keybinding Importing and Exporting

Soeren Kamper

Star Wars: The old Republic – Knights of the fallen empire is coming with a cool new feature.  With the new game update, players will be able to import and export their keybings. How cool is that? Game Update 4.0 New Feature: Keybinding Importing and Exporting | 09.21.2015, 09:13 AM One feature I pretty consistently see requested is the ability to copy your keybindings from one character to another, so I’m happy to say with the release of 4.0 you’ll be able to do just that. When 4.0 launches you’ll notice a new tab in the preference window labeled “Keybinding Import/Export” from there you’ll be able to save out your current keybindings to a file which you can then load on another character. When you save the keybinding they’ll show up in a list which you can then select to preview and load those saved bindings. The list of keybindings…

SWTOR Dev Blog – Vacation

Soeren Kamper

BioWare posted a new short story called Vacation and features the upcoming companion Nico Okarr: Vacation Even by Outer Rim standards, the Sarlacc and Loaded cantina was considered the end of the line. Smoke sullied by the stench of bodily fluids and putrid food assaulted the nostrils. Except for a flickering sign above the bar, it was dark and muggy. Sand carpeted the floors and seats. Customers didn’t frequent the Sarlacc–only regulars–the same five sorry slobs who sat in the same chairs, drinking the same drinks, and mumbling the same woes day in and day out. Under normal circumstances, a man like Seamus Kaldo wouldn’t send his servants to such an establishment, much less visit himself. But the trail had led him here and Seamus was in too deep to stop now. No one had looked up when they entered. Unless provoked, the Sarlacc’s finest were content to keep their faces…

SWTOR Temple Chair Basic to be available for only 1 credit

Soeren Kamper

There is a bug with the decorations in the  Deep Core/Core Worlds packs, were the decoration window that erroneously labeled Temple Chair Basic showed up. This was never intended to be in the pack, and due to this, the décor will now be available for 1 credit from the rep vendor. Hey folks, We looked into this and it turns out the chair was never intended to be in the pack, but appeared in the Decorations UI as being available from it. To remedy this, We are going to add the Decoration to the Esstran Exports Reputation vendor for 1 Credit with no Reputation requirement. This will go into the game with 3.2.2. Thanks all!

Could a Star Wars: Battlefront Novel Be in the works?

Editor

The new paperback version of A New Dawn is on the verge of publication and it features a official timeline. This timeline gives you information about different types of media surrounding the Star Wars saga. There is an interesting note in this that shows a new novel is in development in addition to Aftermath and Dark Disciple. Many will think that the Battlefront title is only referring to the upcoming video game, you should know that television shows are only listed as television shows and movies are listed separately. Based on these terms, a conclusion has been drawn that a video game should be listed under its own separate banner as well, but this is not labeled as such. There is no definite answer yet, but we think a new novel is sure to come. Related Posts $ 14 million – CFTC’s pivotal action against Ponzi scheme in investmentsTOR TV:…

‘Star Wars Battlefront 3’ Release Date Schedule Right On Track As EA DICE Promises ‘Great Variety’ Of Multiplayer Gameplay

Editor

EA DICE game designer, Niklas Fergraeus, is telling fans that a wide range of variety will be incorporated into multiplayer gameplay maps for Star Wars: Battlefront. The game has been reported to be on track with development. “We have actually made the decision to specifically tailor certain maps to certain game modes, and what we get from that is not only incredibly varied scales, but also gameplay that will allow players to live out some of their most memorable ‘Star Wars’ battle fantasies,” he mentioned during a recent interview with IGN. However, with the talent we have here at DICE, the Frostbite technology at our fingertips, and the fantastic working relationship we have with Lucas, I believe we will deliver a Star Wars experience that excites fans around the world and gives them the chance to play out battles in some of the most iconic locales in the series history….
