All Things GEEKY

The game see’s you take the role of a pirate on a quest for Booty. Build up your crew, raid islands for treasure, upgrade your ship and clean the poop from your deck! The game offers charming pixelated visuals and great sound effects, Gameplay wise the game can become a bit repetitive although it does have a surprise factor to it which keeps you a bit more engaged such as betrayals and mutiny from your own crew mates and pirates attacking your ship. Pixel Piracy is open world but it does feel rather linear,open your map and choose a location to set sail too.  The islands are usually inhabitant by hostiles which requires you to defeat them in order to obtain loot for your ship, character and crew. You can also obtain gold from these raids and use them to hire new crew mates and purchase items from your nearest town. The game offers some entertaining sound effects and dialogue from the NPC,s and your character.

The game has a lot to offer and the concept is great it however does fail to execute in some areas but i’m sure it will get better with future updates, i see lots of potential in this game and look forward to whats in stall for the future of this game.

So unless you’ve been living under a rock you’re probably aware of the new installment to the battlefield series called Battlefield 1. Recently an open beta was available to the public for people to try out. The game is set in World War 1 and will offer a campaign and multiplayer mode with a host of game modes, weapons,maps, classes and vehicles for players to try out but as of this moment the…

think all of us have a dream to make loads of money doing what we love, especially for the gamers and E-Sports gives us the opportunity to do so but is it for everyone?

In my view i’d say no, why you may ask? Well to play a certain game professionally to a point where it becomes your job requires immense dedication and a burning passion for the game. The amount of hours put into training and practice during the day is hectic and exhausting and you’re not always guaranteed to come home with money either. However if you’re up for all of it and willing to take risks the pay off can be great! But taking gamers like me into mind who like to play a variety of different games, this isn’t the ideal path for us.

But not all hope is lost if you want to make money in the gaming industry there are loads of other options out there such as reviewing,testing games, maybe even starting a gaming blog or writing up walkthroughs for certain games, perhaps become a youtuber or streamer? The sky is the limit.

Days Gone

Days Gone is an upcoming open world action adventure game. The game takes place 2 years after a global pandemic has destroyed most of humanity and people infected with the virus are transformed into feral creatures called  “Freakers’. You play as Deacon St. John, a biker and bounty hunter who relies more on the open road rather then safe encampments.

Judging by the gameplay trailer the game looks visually impressive, solid and fluent. The game offers a big world to explore,the story seems like its going to be well written. The creatures (known as Freakers) look terrifying and fearless. They seem to mostly attack in huge hordes or ambush you in the shadows. Deacon will have many ways to dispose of the “Freakers” such as using weapons and setting up traps. His motorcycle seems to be his primary mode of transport which can also be used to store items!

Overall Days Gone looks fantastic and i have high expectations for this game so lets hope it delivers!
