The gang talks Season 3 of Game of Thrones and then Gareth at Skewed and Reviewed talks about Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm, GOD of War: Ascension, The growing issue with Micro-transactiosn in games and preview Star Citizen and more on the latest epsiode of BJ Shea”s Geek Nation
Star Citizen is hosting a massive free-fly event, offering everyone access to its sci-fi universe as well as almost all its ships and vehicles. The free-to-play promotion lasts for 12 days.
Wait !! What ? No news of STAR Citizen surpassing the Billion dollars funding? This feels like the same as the Malboro guys offering free smokes at a kindergarten garden. I pass and wake me up when this is actually released and has a price for purchase, if reviews scores are 10 or above I might buy... I might.
There are no thoughtful ads in Video Games, EA. Leave them be.
I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.
But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.
One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.
Cloud Imperium has released the Star Citizen Alpha 3.23 Update which adds support for the Vulkan API, as well as NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR.
Wow awesome amazing, gonna go try it right now. I bet the improvements are amazing..... /s
