Alright so if you're into games and game critics you'll know that a certain Mr. Jim Sterling has been getting hit left and right with law suits that have basically no base. Most recently is a Trademark attack based on a video he made of a title from a Greenlight developer and is just as silly as the last one he was hit with. The man doesn't need to pay more legal fees for fair use content for crying out loud. Check out what everyone's favorite copyright lawyer has to say about that.
Then there's John Carmack. He's apparently suing Zenimax for some twenty two million dollars for allegedly failing to fully pay him for his time there. Crazy times guys, crazy times.
Anyway, what's everyone up to this weekend?
Andrew: More Breath of the Wild. I'm loving it on the Wii U. Still haven't experienced any noticeable performance issues.
Greywolfe: i'm VERY nearly at a point where i can start doing the story mode of shadow of mordor. just a tiny bit more grinding to go. [250 more "red" xp, aka, fight captains and so on. you'll probably know what i'm talking about if you've played the game.] - other than that? lots of pip adventuring. i'm supposed to also be playing "a mind forever voyaging," but for that game, i have to make a map. and i don't really feel like mapping it :P - so i'm being a little lazy on that front.
Scroo: Well I finished the Darksiders: Warmastered Edition and am currnetly writing about it so probably just more Vermintide for me. I'll have to see if anything else strikes me I suppose.
Dr. S.: Snipperclips with the girlfriend, Zelda mit me, maybe some I am Setsuna and Fast RMX. Yay for the Switch. Finally weekend gaming is a thing again
Yoda: Definitely going to be playing more Horizon Zero Dawn. Maybe I'll buy Wildlands, but I may wait to see if Andromeda is worth getting
I’ve reached Act 3 in the Witcher 2, so I’m going to see how far I get with that this weekend. And I’ve also been toying around with Destroy All Humans on the PS4, which I’ve not played in years, and Conker’s Bad Fur Day, on the X1, which I’ve never played. Other than those, I’ve been getting back into some Battlefield One with friends.
Mainly I’m trying to clear my schedule to be free for Mass Effect: Andromeda on the 21st.
I’m thinking pretty hard about picking up Nier: Automata when it comes out. Hearing good things about it and what I’ve seen looks just as weird and intriguing as I could hope for.
Nier has earned itself a place on my wishlist. I never played the original but this one really sounds interesting, plus it’s on PC. I’ll probably grab it before the end of the year, along with so many other games I want to play.
Apparently Nier is also part of the Drakengard series. Which I’ve never played at all. But yeah, the more I see the more I feel like I’m gonna be into it. And I mean it’s Platinum games, so I have faith that it’s probably pretty rad.
