Well, my last post was over a year ago as I pretty much put this on hold when I was working on other things. The World's Empire is still around, but the site has been put on hold for now as we figure out what we want to do with it. We wanted to add a front page that has a complete summary of everything we want TWE to include (the forums were a part of that plan), but we haven't worked much on it so it's still a template. It's unclear if we're going to do anything with it soon, though.
Anyway, this is kind of an update post. I know I've said I was going to review a few games that I played in my last post and since I never got around to doing that I think I'm just going to review the ones that I enjoyed instead of all of them. I might just skip those reviews altogether and move forward with previews or something. I haven't decided yet.
Right now, GTA V and FIFA 14 just came out within the past month and those are basically the only 2 games that I've been playing steadily. I've never really been into GTA's online so I'm not sure if I'm ever going to play it, but I love soccer and FIFA is a great game although it does have its cons like any game and there are a few things that weren't fixed from FIFA 13 that remained so maybe I'll go over those 2 games as well as some previews.
For this year, above all others, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is my most anticipated game so far. And, yes, I was more anticipating AC4 over GTA V or any other game this year. I'm really looking forward to the naval warfare as now we'll be able to just sail around whenever we want and do a bunch of stuff that looks awesome. I've been paying attention to any new information/content Ubisoft releases on the game it looks that good. I'll talk more in-depth about it in another post, though.
The exclusive multiplayer beta for Battlefield 4 was released yesterday to anyone who was a Premium member, pre-ordered BF4, and/or bought Medal of Honor: Warfighter. All three of those happen to apply to me. I downloaded and played a few matches last night of the beta and my initial thoughts were fairly positive for a beta. I discussed BF3's beta when it launched so I'll do another one for BF4, too.
I was pretty impressed by the improvements made in NHL 14 for this year's demo so I might go buy the game sometime soon. I'm not certain yet, though. Last year's game felt like a step backward to me so I'm on the fence with this year's.
Oh, I can't forget the next-gen consoles coming out soon. I've owned every PS to date, but I'm not getting the PS4 right away at least. I'm sticking with the Xbox 360 and I recently just pre-ordered the Xbox One. Most of my friends will be staying with XBL so I decided to stay, too. I may get the PS4 somewhere down the line, but I don't see myself doing so anytime soon. I also sold my PS3 a few months ago as I rarely even used it and it was collecting dust. I pre-ordered AC4 for the Xbox 360 for its release on 10/29, but I'm also going to be getting the Xbox One version when the console/game both come out. I pre-ordered it at GameStop so I'll be able to trade in the 360 version and buy the Xbox One version for $9.99, which is a pretty cool deal. I'll probably make another post about the next-gen consoles as well as I have a few things to say about all of that.
Most already know that Call of Duty: Ghosts will be released in November, but I'm really not interested in anymore CoD's at this point. I'll probably wind up buying it since most of my friends will have it and will continuously bother me to play. I usually enjoy running with friends online or co-op so I'll have to see what I think of Ghosts when it comes out. I doubt I'll pre-order it; I'll just buy it when it comes out.
The only other things I can think of to touch on now and maybe later are Watch Dogs, Ryse: Son of Rome, Destiny, Titanfall, Forza 5, and Dead Rising 3. Some of them are Xbox One releases and the rest are coming out after the Xbox one launches, I believe. Watch Dogs looks awesome, definitely. Ryse looks interesting, although I'm not sure if I'm going to enjoy all of the button actions or whatever they're called (I forget the name). We'll see how that plays out. Destiny looks pretty dope, but it's made by Bungie and I've never been a huge fan of Halo's gameplay. Titanfall is interesting, but I don't know how I'll like a multiplayer only game. Forza is always good, except I wasn't that big of a fan of the last installment. Finally, Dead Rising 3 looks pretty badass as well. I want to see how that game turns out.
OK, well, that's about all I can think of right now, but I'm going to post at least one more post today about something, I just don't know about what yet.
HAPPY GAMING!
