Xbox ending 2024 the Strongest

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Xbox is currently number 1. Ahead of both Nintendo and way ahead of PlayStation who has been having a horrible year so far. Remember Concord. Not only is Xbox number 1 but it’s stayed strong throughout the whole year. X35 Earthwalker believes that current Xbox is the strongest Xbox has ever been. We are in November and the year 2024 is soon over. Xbox is finishing the year incredibly strong as well. Let’s take a look.

X35 Earthwalker Xbox Game Pass

Xbox Game Pass is best subscription service in all of gaming and it takes Xbox to a higher level. Others like PlayStation tried to copy this subscription service with their own but it’s clearly inferior. X35 Earthwalker compared them and more on the podcast channel. Xbox Game Pass creates more gaming opportunities to both gamers and game developers. Not only that it’s also incredibly profitable making Xbox loads of money. Xbox Game Pass alone makes the rest of this year more than solid for Xbox gamers.  

In November and December Xbox gamers can expect Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl and Indian Jones and the Great Circle.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024:

X35 Earthwalker Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is a simulation game being developed by ‘Asobo’ an published by ‘Xbox Game Studios’. The best simulation game of all time according to many. Even the Xbox tax fuelled bums at ign somewhat agree as they gave Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 a 10/10 and said, “the most incredible experience I ever had on a computer”. That’s crazy as “on a computer” means movies, gaming, porn, anime etc. So yeah this game has to be next level crazy good. We know Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is loaded as there’s also content from other worlds like Dune. The Dune expansion brings in the House Atreides Ornithopter. So yeah, fly away.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl:

X35 Earthwalker S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is a first person shooter game being developed and published by ‘GSC Game World’. This game has got millions of players excited. Reviewers (who are all inferior to X35 Earthwalker) who has early access gameplay have so far all said positive stuff about this game. Not just positive but overwhelmingly positive. It’s kind of crazy. Maybe they all drank the same water. Regardless all the evidence points to this game being top tier. Some even saying game of the year true contender. There’s also going to be some horror as well which certainly makes the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl world more interesting. Lots to do and lots to survive from… hopefully.

Indian Jones and the Great Circle: 

X35 Earthwalker Indian Jones and the Great Circle

Indian Jones and the Great Circle is the next major Indiana Jones adventure. First person, single player adventure game developed by ‘Machinegames’ and published by ‘Bethesda’ softworks. Punching dudes in the face. Using a whip to grab and yank enemies. sliding into places and making sure to not forget your hat. Yes Indian Jones and the Great Circle is set between Raiders of the lost ark and last crusade. Watch out for those germans. They got the standard old school German bad guy package going on. Watch out for the big guy.

X35 Earthwalker Xbox Game Pass games

Not only this but Xbox has been dropping more banner games on the Xbox Game Pass. Recently Spyro Reignited dropped and players have been loving it. Metal Slug Tactics. Of course the big one Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and more. With this stuff it’s easy to see why Xbox is number one. Xbox is ending the year more than solid. Even better is the major line up of games coming in 2025. The goodness doesn’t stop. Xbox players have tons to look forward to. X35 Earthwalker certainly believes so. Now Xbox may have have the best games and subscription service but it’s not better than… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Genshin Impact. Adventure coming to Xbox

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact is coming to Xbox. Genshin impact was developed by ‘miHoYo’ and published by ‘Hoyoverse‘. Genshin Impact is said to be coming out the 20th of November 2024 on the Xbox Series X/S. X35 Earthwalker believes this is a big move for the game. Genshin Impact making its best move yet. Check this out.

Now most gamers should know what Gensghin Impact is by now. It’s basically the biggest (or one of the biggest) mobile game was classed as waifu. It’s massive. They finally making the wise move to come on Xbox as well as the players over there are more likely to play this game than some other platforms. Simply put Genshin Impact is a big world for players to explore.

X35 Earthwalker Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact is a single player experience. Players are a person from another world. Like a traveller. Your goal is top find your long lost sibling. There’s also the mystery of Teyvat. Apparently the player themself is also a bit of a mystery. How you world travelling in the first place? This is a big world. So make sure to traverse this place. You see that train? Yeah, investigate it. Ascend up those mountains and see what’s up. Go for a swim in the waters… yeah, we swimming apparently. Of course you can fly through the sky too. Sort off.

X35 Earthwalker Genshin Impact

Xbox players will have a little something to help them out in Genshin Impact. It’s the pre-order bundle. Limited time only. You will receive advanced character EXP Material: 15 Hero’s Wit. Advanced Weapon Enhancement Material: 20 Mystic Enhancement Ore. Xbox players will also get Wishing Item: Acquaint Fate ×2, Currency: Mora ×150,000 and Food Item: Rainbow Macarons ×10. So Xbox players get something nice to sort off help out.

Now games like this, you know the drill. Get off the yellow brick road and actually explore. See what you can find. There are some hidden secrets for players to find and mysteries to reveal. After all there’s 7 nations and some variety of characters out there. Do not underestimate their abilities though. 

X35 Earthwalker Genshin Impact

We checked out some Genshin Impact gameplay and it’s what we expected. It’s mystical, it’s colourful, definitely magical and there’s a train. What else do you want? Oh and there’s waifus. So yeah, find that sibling… or not. By thee way there is co-op. So grab a buddy.

Overall Genshin Impact looks like it’s going to be a good time. So far a great game. Well supported for sure and there’s lots of battles. Some powerful foes will require help to take down. Unless you’re good enough. The developers have done a great job so far. Took them long enough to make this move but it’s coming now. X35 Earthwalker likes to see progression. Genshin Impact may have a big magical world but it’s too small and innocent for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

RIN: The Last Child. The Last?

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker RIN: The Last Child

RIN: The Last Child is action, adventure platformer game developed and published by ‘Space Fox Games‘. RIN: The Last Child is said to be coming to Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS5 and PS4 this quarter of 2024. It’s already out on PC though. X35 Earthwalker chose to give this game a chance. RIN: The Last Child seems to go all in with the mystical world theme. Let’s take a look.

RIN: The Last Child is definitely all about exploring a mystical world. Metroidvania style of course. Game like this pretty much always have  this aspect. RIN: The Last Child is called this maybe because of the main character RIN, described as “the last child of the creator”. RIN’s mission is to restore balance to a mystical enchanting world that’s a step away from chaos. 

X35 Earthwalker RIN: The Last Child

Now on a deeper dive you could argue that RIN: The Last Child pulls in some inspiration from the myth of cronus. That old battle and struggle between the new gods and old gods. Free will, authority and how much impact and weight does one’s decision really have. So this clearly means that RIN: The Last Child will have multiple endings. So replayability is there. How many endings will players get?

RIN: The Last Child, like Ori and the Will of the Wisps, focused a lot on visuals and the graphics. Games like these have to be beautiful and a treat to look at. It’s compulsory at this point. RIN: The Last Child isn’t lacking in this department. Definitely makes us want to see more. We trust that the spells and abilities also have top tier effects. There’s crafting of spells. So gather those runes and aspects. There’s said to be over 7000 variants of spell. That’s because spells can be upgraded or even enchanted. So get ready.

X35 Earthwalker RIN: The Last Child

Now RIN: The Last Child does believe in variety. There’s off course quite the range of enemies and even transformed siblings. Yeah, much is happening around here. Different styles and approaches are encouraged. So don’t be a one minded bum. Switch up the tactics from time to time.

We checked out some RIN: The Last Child gameplay and it’s what we expected. Lots of platforming, multiple environments, lots of combat and lots of projectiles and spells. The foes don’t see so intimidating though. The animations looks good. Not top tier but definitely good. Also we don’t like the look of RIN. Run doesn’t look cute, intimidating or powerful. Wanted a bit more life in the environments though, mainly the background.

Overall RIN: The Last Child does look like a good game. There’s definitely an adventure here. the strongest point of RIN: The Last Child is clearly the spells. The sheer variety os the spells with variants is good enough. Got to see them in action. The developers ‘Space Fox Games’ have done a good job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to see what RIN: The Last Child does on them consoles.

Slay the Princess: The Pristine Cut. Wow

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Slay the Princess: The Pristine Cut

Slay the Princess: The Pristine Cut is the new and improved version of the amazing game. It’s developed by ‘Black Tabby Games‘ and published by ‘Serenity Forge‘. Slay the Princess: The Pristine Cut is said to be coming out the 24th of October 2024 on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5 and PC. X35 Earthwalker knows all about this princess. Excited to see what’s new. Slay the Princess: The Pristine Cut has got some high expectations. Let’s take a look.

X35 Earthwalker Slay the Princess: The Pristine Cut

Now it should be clear that Slay the Princess: The Pristine Cut is the new and improved version of the original. The original won over many gamers and viewers thanks to the excellent writings, variety of words, feels like endless outcomes and numerous options. Of course the princess played a huge part in all this (the game is called slay the princess after all). Very memorable is the voice acting. Top tier voice acting. Fantastic. Now this game is getting bigger and better. Now it’s Slay the Princess: The Pristine Cut. More can jump into this exciting game.

X35 Earthwalker Slay the Princess: The Pristine Cut

Let’s get right into what matters there with Slay the Princess: The Pristine Cut. What’s new and different?  It’s been stated that there’s over 35% more content. That’s big!! That’s more than a third, especially with how big the original game was. So players can expect three new chapters and expansions to routes that were previously there. So don’t just seek the new stuff but go visit the old stuff as there’s new stuff to it.

X35 Earthwalker Slay the Princess: The Pristine Cut

That’s good but we want more… Slay the Princess: The Pristine Cut delivers. There’s also a new ending as well. So time to figure out how to obtain such an ending and what will it represent. We know the previous ones well but knows there’s another. On top of this there are new princesses also. One of the most exciting things was seeing how the princess changes and develops based on your choices and the chapters. Now there’s new ones. Things are going to get wild.

X35 Earthwalker Slay the Princess: The Pristine Cut

The Slay the Princess: The Pristine Cut expansion not just in some cases doubles the size of some routes but there’s also a new feature. There’s now a gallery feature so players can track their progress and makes the finding secrets thing a possibility for real. Yes, there are secrets.

Overall Slay the Princess: The Pristine Cut is looking like it’s going to be a fantastic game. New players are going to have a whole of a time while seasoned players will have a treasure hunt while nostalgic time. This is going to be a much bigger game and we are here for it. The developers ‘Black Tabby Games’ has done a fantastic job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker look forward to this game. Now Slay the Princess: The Pristine Cut may have all new content and features both both the princess and the protagonist are simple beings compared to… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Starfield: Shattered Space. Massive Expansion

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Starfield: Shattered Space

Starfield: Shattered Space is off course the massive expansion for the Game of the Generation, Starfield. An Xbox exclusive that passed having 14 million players, best selling game in September 2023 and was in the top 10 best selling games for the rest of that year. Won ‘Game of the year’ by Rectify Gaming, ‘Xbox game of the year’ by Golden Joystick and ‘most innovative game’ on steam. Starfield was so popular that tons of people kept playing and talking about this single player game even to this day. This Starfield is getting its biggest expansion yet. X35 Earthwalker is definitely watching this. Let’s take a look.

Starfield: Shattered Space to keep it simple brings in a whole new planet, new threat, new space suits, new unique weapons, gear and more. Of course the planet we are talking about is the home world of House Va’Ruun… Va’Ruun’kai. Andreja should be excited. X35 Earthwalker is definitely taking her along for the adventure. The location is the ‘city of Dazra’. The drama? A new cosmic threat. Players discover a distress signal. The warning is “Don’t board,” Off course we ain’t trying to hear that. So we board anyways and then… Go play and experience for yourself.

X35 Earthwalker Starfield: Shattered Space

House Va’Ruun is obviously the most secretive and hidden faction of the big three of Starfield. They stay hidden on purpose and keep to themselves. Only very few members can be found like the House Va’Ruun ambassador in UC Atlantis. This is our opportunity to learn so much more about House Va’Ruun, see their architecture, witness their planet and who knows, maybe we will encounter an avatar or child of the great serpent.

Bethesda has made numerous great moves concerning Starfield and one of those is how they handled the updates. We got performance upgrades, then 60 frames, then local area and city maps, then mods and community mods, then even land vehicles the REV-8. Ut sets Starfield up for the bigger and better. The biggest and best is now here and that’s Shattered Space. Hopefully the developers make the new expansion achievements work even with mods. Hate to have to turn off mods and then do the achievements and then turn back on. That would be frustrating. 

X35 Earthwalker Starfield: Shattered Space

We at X35 Earthwalker are definitely looking forward to Starfield: Shattered Space and exploring Va’Ruun’kai. Now since there will be some horror aspects and darkness. After all is has been described as a cosmic threat. We trust that the Shattered Space expansion carries on our current character. As in our starborn characters retain their abilities and can be used through the expansion. We are looking forward to encountering whole new fauna and flora as we know things are different for House Va’Ruun. The unique weapons need to actually be unique and not just three effects and some modifications.

X35 Earthwalker Starfield: Shattered Space

Will Starfield: Shattered Space have a boss fight? With a certain mod players can face level 100 big mechs which have all the fire power. There’s even boss mods that create actual bosses too. So it’s possible to do in this Shattered Space expansion. What’s strange though is that we will be getting involved in the politics of House Va’Ruun. It’s described as a “tense political landscape'”. We will learn the history and even “help decide the fate of the faction”. It does make House Va’Ruun look kind of weak so far. That we can just come in and basically decide everything. Maybe that’s just the reality of the situation. Things are so bad that they are desperate. A political civil war or maybe House Va’Ruun is so secretive is because their numbers are low and they are actually weakest military wise but maybe the best technology. Maybe they sacrifice people to the great serpent. Let’s find out.

Overall we at X35 Earthwalker have a lot to look forward to. Starfield: Shattered Space is a major massive expansion that does things differently. Even major sections of the planet is literally hand crafted. There’s going to be a vortex grenade that can really shake things up. We hear that there’s even going to be some monsters that stalk you. Call them stalking abominations. This is unlike anything else we have seen. The Callisto Protocol fans might want to check this out too. Starfield: Shattered Space is going to be awesome. The developers Bethesda have done a fantastic job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker are going to dive in. Now Starfield: Shattered Space may have the great serpent but even that deity is just animal compared to… the ‘Earth Walk!’

New World: Aeternum. Strange island

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker New World: Aeternum

New World: Aeternum is an Open World Role Play Game developed and published by ‘Amazon Games’. New World: Aeternum is said to be coming out the 15th of October 2024 on the Xbox Series X, PC and PS5. New World: Aeternum is looking like a massive adventure with a lot going on. X35 Earthwalker loves to see big creative games. Let’s take a look.

New World: Aeternum is set on the supernatural island of Aeternum. Where so much is happening, battles take place, creatures and roaming about and people be wildin out here. New World: Aeternum is one of those games where players will have to discover the story themselves. Uncover the lore themselves. Learn what’s going on themselves over the course of their journey. So much is actually happening. So take time to explore and find out what’s going on. By the way, the open beta is available right now on Xbox.

X35 Earthwalker New World: Aeternum

Read this description tell us what you think New World: Aeternum is bringing to the shelf. “New World: Aeternum’ is not just a game; it’s an expansive universe that offers players the chance to explore a vast land teeming with diverse creatures, supernatural dangers, and enigmatic secrets. The island of Aeternum is a place where history and myth intertwine, creating a unique backdrop for players to forge their destiny.” Now we normally ignore text like this as it always claim a magical adventure and so amazing. We have to look deeper.

There’s going to be a lot of creatures and fauna roaming about. There’s going to be a lot of combat. Speaking of combat, it’s described as dynamic (fancy word here). Like Fable and Flintlock: The siege of Dawn, there’s a whole melee, gun and magic system going on. We do like the variety. Ur leads to some synergies and combos. We want two see it done to the maximum potential. Other games have done it well like the ones mentioned above but none of have taken to the highest level.

X35 Earthwalker New World: Aeternum

Fighting the creatures of New World: Aeternum is going to be the norm but there’s also PvP. Including large scale battles as well. Now concerning these characters, they have been described as “classless”. Meaning players can build them and customise them how they see fit. So make sure to gather all the materials you find out there. Of course there’s going to be building and crafting as well. Crafting items is obviously a thing but structures too. 

A massive world is going to need ways of travel and traversing these places. We got mounts in New World: Aeternum. horses off course but also wolves and even lions are available. You can customise them use dye on them. There’s skills for mounts like ‘riding trade skills’ which can allow better foods for the mount and even increase their speed. 

X35 Earthwalker New World: Aeternum

Read this part carefully as it’s quite important. “Cross-platform play is a feature that many players look forward to, and ‘New World: Aeternum’ delivers on this front. It allows players from Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Steam (PC) to all play together on the same server. However, it’s important to note that characters are locked to the platform they are created on, so choose wisely where you start your adventure.” So think about it.

We checked out some New World: Aeternum gameplay and it’s what we expected. We see a variety of creatures and foes. We see animals, mystical beasts, necromancer looking creatures, humanoid threats and more. A big world with a lot to do.

Overall New World: Aeternum is looking like a good game so far. There’s still some time until the release;ease so obviously they are working on the animations and making the graphics better.The main factor for us will be the combat. If they can land that with excellence then we have something real to talk about. The developers ‘Amazon Games’ have done a good job with this game as of now. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to hear what’s up with this game. Now New World: Aeternum may have a supernatural island but it’s completely natural through the eyes of… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Selfloss. Revered Whales?

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Selfloss

Selfloss is an action adventure game developed by ‘Goodwin Games‘ and published by ‘Merge Games‘. Selfloss is said to be coming out the 12th of September 2024 for Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation. Will come to PC the 5th of September same year. Selfloss definitely has a uniquer factor that could make it stand out. X35 Earthwalker has respect for such creatures. Let’s take a look.

Selfloss is set in a post apocalyptic world. Players control Kazimir, who is a “seasoned volhv”. He is on a journey. Kazimir must traverse both land and sea to find a cure for his soul. Kazimir isn’t a helpless useless being. He has a magic staff which allows him to fight the “enigmatic plague” called Miasm. This plague has ravaged the world. Now this wouldn’t be an adventure unless humanity hangs in the balance or facing extinction or whatever. Yes, in Selfloss, humanity is a factor.

X35 Earthwalker Selfloss

Selfloss looks like another indie, journey, story, little guy in a big world sort of thing. These types are normally done well and we hope the same for Selfloss as well. What’s unique and we are a fan of is how significant whales are in this game. Yes whales are revered in this world. You will see different types of whales too. Blue whale, white whale, humpback whale, sperm whale etc. We hope all are included in this game. Whales are so cool and you definitely interact with them. Respect the whales.

Off curse players will encounter multiple characters. Some described as unforgettable… we will be the judges of that.  We also saw some other creatures and beings as well. Like what looks like a big eel. We can’t trust it… but we will eat it. Cleansed and seasoned. Fresh water eel when done right can go crazy. Regardless Selfloss is looking like quite the little adventure.

X35 Earthwalker Selfloss

We checked out some Selfloss gameplay and it’s what we expected. Little guy in a big world. Easy and simple to understand and get into. Going for the chunky block graphic style. Wind direction and streams and visible. The combat is very simple but there are some dangers for sure. Whales some times roll up and just do their thing. Be careful when on the seas though. A big ol whale might just pop up from under you.  Quite a mystical world. there’s rivers, forests, buildings, sea, cliffs, islands and well it’s a nice little variety that fits the theme. It is too slow though.

Overall Selfloss seems like a good game but it’s too slow for us. The best thing about Selfloss is easily the whales and the effects in some cases. hopefully the whales play a bigger role in all this. Those who want a relaxed little adventure has something to gain from this.  The developers ‘Goodwin games’ have dome a good job. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to hear what results this game brings. Now Selfloss may have revered whales but they are too simple for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand. Huge Free Update

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand

Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand is a huge free update for the action adventure open world game developed by ‘Deck13‘ and published by ‘Focus Entertainment‘. Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand is said to be coming out the 6th of August 2025 on the Xbox Series X, PC and PS5. X35 Earthwalker always kept an eye on Atlas Fallen and it’s excellent to see the update. Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand is here to make things bigger and better. Let’s take a look.

X35 Earthwalker Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand

Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand is thew new expansion and this ain’t no small matter. This Reign of Sand expansion is massive. You might as well call it a comprehensive overhaul. We talking new enemies and enemy varieties, new quests more information concerning the atlas Fallen world and lore.

Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand even did a workover concerning the progression system. Things are going to be functioning different from here on. Even the campaign got a workover too. This includes the voice acting. Expect Ben Starr on the mic. Ben who?… 

X35 Earthwalker Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand

New difficulty mode as well. What? The game was too easy for you? Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand has got you covered. Feast your eyes on ‘Nyaal’s Nightmare’. So those who want to suffer… you’re welcome. There’s also more Essence Stones. We hear 25.

Co-op has been improved or should we say enhanced. So test that one out to see and feel the difference.   New game + mode is a thing. Get in there, team up with others and take down these monsters and gods. They probably weak anyways.

X35 Earthwalker Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand

We checked out some Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand gameplay and it’s what we expected. This update truly makes it so that it’s better for players to start fresh anew in Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand instead of carry their progress over. This update is so big and changes a lot, including revamping, that for the first time ever it’s better to do a new game+ from fresh than carry over. Give it a try. 

Overall Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand is looking fantastic. Tons of work went into this. The developers ‘Deck13’ heard the intelligent polite feedback (idiots get ignored as they should) and responded with action. Best of all this massive update is FREE. So there’s no excuse right now. We like what we see. Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand is now in our sights. The developers have done a fantastic job. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to see the new things for ourselves. Now Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand may have a massive update but it’s still small compared to… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Best One Yet

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Assassin's Creed Shadows

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a stealth/action adventure game developed and published by ‘Ubisoft’. Assassin’s Creed Shadows is said to be coming out the 15th of November 2024 on the Xbox Series X, PC and PS5. X35 Earthwalker is looking for the assassin’s creed game that brings him back into the series. Assassin’s Creed Shadows is out here trying to be that game. Let’s take a look. [This G blog will be a different style as so much information on this game is already out]

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is set in Japan. So Assassin’s Creed fans finally get what they’ve been asking for, for years. Ubisoft had a lot of thinking to do concerning this game and what type of Assassin’s Creed game they wanted to make. What do we mean? Very simple. Assassin Creed has two types. Stealth focused and action focused. The earlier Assassin’s Creed games were clearly more stealth based. Hide, blend in, watch the movement of the enemies and make your move. Then escape after assassinating target. The action Assassin’s Creed games were mainly your character straight up facing all the foes in the open and besting them in combat with some crazy abilities. There was still stealth mechanics but most just got up in there and started swinging. 

X35 Earthwalker Assassin's Creed Shadows

Here’s the problem. Most of the older Assassin’s Creed fans have been calling for a return to stealth as the the most recent Assassin’s Creed games were all action really. So bring back stealth right? Well sales and money show that the most successful Assassin’s Creed games were the action ones. More players, more fame, more attention and more money. So many fans want the original but less popular but action makes the most money… which is the aim of EVERY business… making more money. So Ubisoft said screw it, let’s do both. This is the biggest strength and factor of Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

X35 Earthwalker Assassin's Creed Shadows

Assassin’s Creed Shadows has TWO protagonists. Primary main character is Naoe and secondary main character is Yasuke. Naoe is the assassin. So all the sneaking, hiding, stealth kills and being one with the shadows is her. Yasuke is actually a real person in history. The first black samurai in Japan. He is the all action guy. As he said, kick down the front door, just face the foes and smash them. This solves the problem. So now stealth players can pick Naoe and be all stealth as much as they want while action players can just five into the action, no hiding with Yasuke. So that should shit up all the complaining. 

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, players can switch between both characters for the missions. So you could play through the whole game as Naoe for stealth then in your second play through got all action and vice versa. Or you can mix it up and change mission by mission basis. You can even be like Larry who played a whole mission with Naoe, failed at the very end and just switched to Yasuke for the replay and tear everyone up. It’s up to you. Players love having options. So this move ticks of multiple boxes.

X35 Earthwalker Assassin's Creed Shadows

X35 Earthwalker believes that Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be the best Assassin’s Creed game yet. The combat with Yasuke is detailed. There is dodging, the heaviest attacks ever, armour and destruction of armour pieces, special attacks, blocks and even parries. It’s a full combat system. Uasuke feels incredibly powerful and smashes through his foes. Almost unstoppable. Naoe is not just stealth but the best stealth. She can can use projectiles to take out light sources, creating more shadows and darkness for he to hide and move through. She can hide up on the ceiling with plunger like tools. She can breathe underwater thanks to a reed or similar tube that pokes up to the surface granting her air. Naoe has new mechanics. Both characters are powerful in their own unique ways and clearly effective. Don’t underestimate Naoe in a fight and don’t underestimate Yasuke’s versatility as he has more than one weapon.

X35 Earthwalker Assassin's Creed Shadows

Disgusting but expected is the amount of hatred Assassin’s Creed Shadows got all because of one black person… Yasuke. Same with Angrboda in god of war ragnarok. So much racism today and it’s from the usual suspects each time. Yasuke is a real person who became a samurai in japan. Majority of historical websites including Britannica has stated that he’s a samurai as well with text and other historical evidence. Yasuke is famous in Japan and is in many Japanese media from books and stories to animations and shows. He’s even portrayed and showed as a samurai warrior in other games like Nioh. No issues with Yasuke then but the moment he’s shown in assassin’s creed shadows, all the racists suddenly became Japanese historians and posted racist memes and drawings and used hateful speech on Facebook, X and instagram. disgusting but evil is predictable. There has even been some white people exposed for pretending to be Japanese online to attack yasuke. Even the top voices of a so called Japanese petition to cancel the game were both white guys… not even Japanese. Now there’s a Japanese senator or whatever who is going against the game… for what reason besides yasuke. The hate is real. X35 Earthwalker has podcast episodes explaining and debunking these foolish things. Also a youtuber made a video where he proved with Japanese text that Yasuke is a samurai. Check those out below:

We checked out some Assassin’s Creed Shadows gameplay and it’s what we expected. Exploring Japan, standing up for the people, marking targets and getting information on said targets. Use a horse for traversing the place. The lighting in this game is impressive. It makes the moments sneaking around with Naoe more beautiful and intense. The flames and light sources are excellently done here. As the game gets closer to release date, animations , character interactions and details will be stepped up. The gameplay Ubisoft showed is obviously not the final product. Also Assassin’s Creed Shadows is not $130. That’s a lie. The ultimate edition is $130 while the standard is $70 like many other games. So much hate towards this game. It’s sad. This is the first Assassin’s Creed game in a long time that has actually interested us. Assassin’s Creed Shadows might be the game to bring us back in.

Overall Assassin’s Creed Shadows looks like it’s going to be a fantastic game. This will be the best Assassin’s Creed game. Both Assassin’s Creed styles and even completely new mechanics. Now the biggest factor will be the huge amounts of racist who are trying so hard to lead a campaign against this game. Ignoring those fools, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is going to be successful. It has all components needed for it. The developers ‘Ubisoft’ have done a fantastic job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an eye out for this game. Now Assassin’s Creed Shadows may have two protagonists but those two aren’t enough for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Starship Troopers: Extermination. FINALLY!

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Starship Troopers: Extermination

Starship Troopers: Extermination is a Co-op First Person Shooter game developed and published by ‘Offworld industries‘. Starship Troopers: Extermination is said to be coming out the 11th of October 2024 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PC and PS5. X35 Earthwalker has been waiting a long time for a Starship troopers game. Starship Troopers: Extermination better bring the fire. Let’s take a look. 

Starship Troopers: Extermination is what fans of the movies would expect. It’s humanity, the united citizen federation, against the bugs. Humanity must survive and win. Your leader is general Rico, voiced by Casper Van Diesel from the movies. Just get in there and destroy bugs. After all the only good bug is a dead bug.

Starship Troopers: Extermination is just exterminating bugs. There’s also base building too. Players must establish strongholds in their battle against the bugs. So get some design skills and build a half decent base at least. Can you even call yourself a citizen when you can’t base build decently. Besides you’ll need the space as the game can have up to 16 players. 16 players is more than enough to defeat the bugs. Matter of fact just one citizen can defeat the bugs. Now shut up and do your part.

Starship Troopers: Extermination has players fight as part of the Deep Space Vanguard. Deep Space Vanguard has 6 different classes. Ranger, Sniper, Guardian, Medic, demolisher and Engineer. Now it should be quite obvious what each of these do. Sniper got the range and amazing firepower and cowardly hides back watching their allies die. Ranger has jet packs and close range weapons. The Demolisher makes things go boom. Simple to understand… move on. Guardian is defensive. Has the best rumour, armour plates and some scary machine guns I hear. Engineer is the base builder and loves mines with flamethrowers of course. The Medic tops everyone up, heals, saves and has a UAV medical drone.

The Bugs have got an upgrade too in Starship Troopers: Extermination. Not just the troopers. There’s the Drones who are small and weak but in a pack or horde they overwhelm all in their path. The Warriors (come out an play) is the big mean ones who are mad aggressive and got speed. They will snap you up. The Gunner is al about ranged combat. Even using speed won’t protect you from them. Dakka dakka dakka! Plasma Grenadiers bring the heat… literally. Their plasma WILL burn right through you. So take them seriously. Tiger Elite is the meanest one and it demands everyones attention. Ignore this might beast at the cost of your own life. Apex predator. Do not for a minute think these bugs listed here are all you need to worry about.

Good news troopers! There’s multiple locations and things to do. Let’s check this out for a bit. Starship Troopers: Extermination has the desert planet of Valaka. Valaka also may have sandstorms which obviously obscure your vision and makes things difficult. Agni prime is quite a much and colourful place but it can be volcanic due to that big volcano. An eruption will cause fire to rain down. Take cover obviously. There’s even a horde defence mode where you must survive 10 waves of bugs. They get increasingly difficult. There’s evenness for players to invader and attempt to take down. Imagine the kind of bugs you’ll find down there. Hopefully boss bugs.

You can’t fight without some weapons. Good weapons. In Starship Troopers: Extermination there’s an acceptable range. You want more? Then pay more taxes. Troopers can use the Morita mk1 assault rifle, morita xxx sniper rifle, morita mk3 saw, fu-17 flamethrower, C-32 chi-hong grenade launcher and TW-2 S.P.L.I.T. Shotgun Auto. As you can see there’s some good weapons here that will get the job done… sort off. Iy’s obvious what each one does. 

We checked out some Starship Troopers: Extermination gameplay and it’s not exactly what we expected. It’s looking under developed. Animations are quite poor as well. Definitely inferior to the animations in helldivers 2. Now the main point of the game is to be fun and bring the action. It certainly seems to have more depth than helldivers 2. We need to the animations to step up. The early version was released to pc and that probably explains why it does look underdeveloped. So hopefully when the official full release comes to consoles it will all be stepped up. We definitely like the action though. How bugs explode and bits of them break off is what’s expected for a game like this. We need fun. Her the top fun is appreciated also. Starship Troopers: Extermination is sop easy to get right so the developers cannot fail this. 

Overall Starship Troopers: Extermination looks like a good game but quality needs to step up especially with all the next gen games here and the power that the Xbox Series X has. The action is solid, the range of enemies are good but we hope there are more to show up. We hope for a few more weapons will be available. Developers must take notes and learn from other games. We want options. We also need more planets or locations to fight in and fight for. Having only a few places will get old quick. Starship Troopers has a big universe so we hope this game uses it. The developers ‘Offworld Industries’ have done a good job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an eye open for this game. Starship Troopers: Extermination may have loads of bugs to kill but it’s certainly not enough for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
