Clash Royale and Angry Birds 2

I wanna talk about 2 games today. 2 mobile games: Clash Royale and Angry Birds 2. Let me start on Clash Royale. Clash Royale is a very, very, VERY unbalanced game. The game starts you off with a pretty good tutorial learning the technique on how to play the game. Then you get into the multiplayer. Now the VERY first thing that I notice about this game is the TIME TO OPEN A CHEST!!! WHY DOES IT TAKE 3 HOURS TO OPEN A SILVER CHEST?? That is stupid. Just so, so stupid. Second, the cards are COMPLETELY random. I've seen level 1 players with Pekkas and Princes. Why is everything so unfair and unbalanced?  You can easily get all Max level cards just by buying a ton of gems and using them to buy cards. The game is more unbalanced than Clash of Clans. Angry Birds 2 is different. The game is becoming EXTREMELY hard. Not the campaign levels, but the DAILY CHALLENGES and the "Multiplayer Arena" has became hard to beat. Daily Challenges are extremely hard. There are 3 parts, the last being a boss battle. The first part is easy. NOW the 2nd goes from 3 to 5 puzzles. And there HARD to beat! I spent ALL of my gems to get the last one, and I was so close...but I also notice that the SMALL pigs are a lot harder to kill now and the Pig powers are pretty annoying. Mainly the pig that can destroy your bird BEFORE they even get near any pig. And then if you lose ONE part, it sends you too the BEGINNING!! WTF! AND the arena barely has "real" players. Most are bots and of course, it is UNBALANCED. When you search for an challenger it is very random. You could have only 2 level 3 birds and you could get a person who has 4 level 3's and even a golden bird! And once you search, you can't go back. You cant change your Challenger...so you will know if your gonna lose or win. Its dumb. But the campaign levels are fairly designed to make it possible to win. Not lose. And with the latest update I did notice that you get LESS feathers (mainly 20-24 feathers). And why do you only get 3 gems from the free chest? How is that fair? The only way to really get gems are to compete in the arena and be in 3rd, 2nd or 1st to get the big prize. And you can save up, but power ups are also very expensive, so you might end up just spending real money to get gems. So sad. That is all I got to say. Thanks for reading!

Hopes for E3 2016 (Part 1)

E3 2016 is less than 3 months away, which means soon we can be seeing new games! So let's talk about our hopes for E3 2016. The first thing I'M hoping for is a Batman: Arkahm Asylum and City remake. It seems like a photo was linked just today (it's now gone) talking about it, so I do hope that is at E3. Another big XBOX tittle, Gears of War 4. I don't know much about, but by the looks of the trailer, I can see Gears or war 4 being awesome. I was gonna mention Uncharted 4 but it FINALLY has a release date for May 10th, 2016. Lets hope that all of that wait was worth it. Now for the sonic fans out there, I'm certain that your hoping for a comeback for the fast blur hedgehog. The last game, Sonic Boom, had Sega on it's knees and the show...well the show is pretty good. But let's hope that if they do decide to reveal a new sonic, it is in 2D. No one wants another buggy, crappy 3D sonic game again. Now there had been rumors for a Bully 2, but I'm not sure. But if it is real, that would be AWESOME. And last. 2 games that I've been waiting for. Left 4 dead 3 and Half-life 3. I love Left 4 Dead. And making a 3rd one with today's graphics would be amazing. Half-Life 3 we've been waiting for a long time. Will it finally be announced?  Probably not. But who knows. And just thinking about it know, we need to see a release date for Final Fantasy 7. Please Square Enix. Well that's all I gotta say. Thanks for reading!

The last of us infection could have stopped?

The last of us is one amazing game. One of the best zombie games ever made (Left 4 dead is still #1 though). But one problem got to me. So the infection started from a mushroom. If you inhaled it, you went crazy. So if people already knew what was causing it, why not get someone to destroy them all. Now your thinking....what about the infected? If they we're to kill them faster, this entire epidemic would have ended by now! When the beginning of the game started, Joel said it only affected people in the city. I get that. But they could easily killed them off, if they weren't shooting little girls. But 20 YEARS WENT BY. They still don't have control over the zombies. And I get it. Its a lot. But maybe if you sent the ENTIRE military with gas mask, 20 years later, Ellie is with her parents and Joel is watching Sarah at another soccer game. But no...they shoot Sarah instead. Do you think that this whole infection could have been avoided? Thanks for reading.

The next Call of Duty?

Call of Duty has been around for over 10 years. Every year CoD has grown in graphics, gameplay, multiplayer and story. But it's seems like now many people are starting to slowly hate Call of Duty. Why? Well it's pretty simple: Its too repetitive. The story in Call of Duty AFTER black ops 2 is horrible. Ghost was just terrible, Advanced warfare was EXTREMELY easy, and BO3 also has a terrible and confusing story. The mutiplayer in CoD barely changes. Every once in a while they add new content, but it's the same, except for new weapons, maps and game play. Now, I know some people is gonna hate for this, but Battlefield has changed in A LOT of things. For one, you can destroy towers. Thats freaking amazing. You can have up too 128 people in a map, there are VEHICLES. Not as a perk either. And yes, it is a lot harder, but it's also fun. CoD is sticking to one format. Kinda like mobile games and that's not a good thing. They need to completely remake and create a better and bigger multiplayer. CoD also needs to also make a better campaign. Just because people say they like multiplayer, it doesn't give you the rights to create a terrible campaign. Advanced Warfare was OK, but Ghost was bad. I really did enjoy the space mission, but it went by so fast...and then the cancer started. So I do hope that Sledgehammer decides to recycle the old crappy campaign and multiplater and just...make it different. Like a HUGE difference. Thanks for reading.
