Imagine Earth is a space simulation strategy game developed and published by ‘serious bros’. Imagine Earth is said to be coming out the 9th of July 2021 on the Xbox Series X and Xbox One. It’s already out on PC. This is managing civilisation on distant planets… in space. What could go wrong? Let’s take a look.
Time for another smaller G-Blog. Imagine Earth is all about building up global civilisations on far away planets. This off course means managing them, handling resources and keeping everyone alive. You should know the routine by now. Strategy simulation. Build, expand and manage… but you’re in space and you’ve got some competition, sort off.
In Imagine Earth you can form alliances with competing corporations… or you can go against them. Wage an economic war and see who crushed whom. So make sure to harvest all those goodies to make more goodies. It’s all about the resources. So it’s all about business and good decision making. Something most people lack.
We checked out some Imagine Earth gameplay and it’s what we thought it would be. Scroll around, be observant, set tasks, decide what to do and manage a kingdom basically. We do like the visuals though. We definitely like the visuals and graphics in Imagine Earth. It looks very good. We like the little details on the globes too. We like how you can manipulate the planets and make big changes to it. We like the planets flora and how alien some look. There’s research options too which can shake things up and unlock new options.
Overall Imagine Earth is another space planet simulation build and conquer game. There’s no combat really. Sure these are disasters to prepare for and defend against and even problems caused by the climate but those threats aren’t interesting at all. Image Earth is good but needs more going on for our taste. The developers ‘Serious Bros’ have done a nice job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will just have to hear if this game make a splash or not. Now Imagine Earth may have space colonisation but even their technology and methods are pathetic when compared to… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights is a 2D action Role Playing Game developed by ‘Live Wire, Adglobe‘ but published by ‘Binary Haze Interactive‘. Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights came out the 22nd of June 2021 on the Nintendo Switch and PC but 29th of June 2021 on the Xbox Series X. Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights has quite a lot going on. Let’s take a look.
Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights is all about a girl named Lily. Lily is the last surviving priestess. What happened? Basically it’s the rain. Yes rain. Not normal rain though. This rain is dangerous and can even turn people into the undead. Lily wakes up in a church (Best place to be is church. Facts) but has no knowledge and memory of recent things that took place. So off course your mission is to find the cause of this rain and hopefully stop it.
Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights is off course already out so you can literally see the game for yourself so we are keeping it short. It’s more than just the undead. The rain turned all living things into monsters. There’s all kinds of dangers here. They are called the Blighted. Players off course need to explore this entire world. The place is called ‘Land’s End’. Very friendly. There is some variety as there’s a massive castle, a submerged forest and even an underground cavern that’s apparently contaminated and sealed off. Isn’t that suspicious. It would be a shame if we had to explore that place, oh wait.
We checked out some Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights gameplay and it’s what we expected for the most part. We like that Lily doesn’t actually fight herself. She summons the spirits of the undead who got purified. One has a sword and fights like a warrior, another has a bow shooting projectiles while another is sort of like a mage that shoots fire balls sort of. They do have names like Umbral Knight, Gerrod, the elder warrior, Dark witch Elaine and more. They fight for her. So timing attacks, diving out of the way and using each summoned spirit optimally is essential in this game.
Overall Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights seems like a really cool game and the combat is different. We definitely like the art style and the graphics are excellent. The animations are excellent. The animations of 2D games have really stepped up. There’s a lot of details in this game too, including on the enemies. The game looks like it will get real difficult which is a good thing. The developers ‘Livewire and adglobe’ did a very good job here. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an ear out for Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights. Now Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights may have killer rain but that rain don’t mean a thang when it comes to… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Recompile is a hacking adventure game developed by ‘Phigames‘ and published by ‘Dear villagers‘. Recompile is said to be coming out 2021 in August on the Xbox Series X, PS5 and PC. Recompile definitely looks coo. There’s quite a bit going on. Let’s take a look.
Recompile is all about computer technical stuff. This world is a large ancient mainframe. Players will have to explore this “ancient digital landscape”. You are basically this AI who’s on a journey towards attaining true sapience”. It’ just one big digital adventure. Also we hear that Recompile has different critical paths for players to take and explore. The narrative of the game changes based on the player. Your “play style and choices matter”. So players can expect their own unique experience.
You can run, sprint, jump, fight and even more when you acquire the abilities. Don’t forget that Recompile is described as a metroidvania style game. So you will start of basic but will eventually find new abilities and powers. We even saw the ability to literally fly like a jet in a straight line. The game claims there’s “a full complement of powerful weapons and abilities are available”. We hope so. We even saw firearms, off course digital but still a gun. The action here is real.
Read this whole explanation that Recompile has. “The untimely fall of the Seven Suns lead to a millenia of neglect, gradually transforming the Mainframe’s vast repository of code into a race of half-sentient, half-deterministic subroutines. They exist in a state of flux, as if trapped by their programming in a kind of twisted digital purgatory”. We definitely need more information and hope this is clear in the game itself. We do know that the player needs to make choices concerning the beings of the mainframe. Either help them or go against them. Most of them are hostile though so keep that in mind.
Let’s quickly go over a big feature of Recompile which is the hacking. Pretty much everything is hackable and you can mess with them. Power grids, the inhabitants themselves, logic gates, locked doors and even massive machines. Thanks to the fact that they are powered by “interconnected logic gate circuitry”. Make certain beings obey your commands. Override, disable and even invert to your advantage. So basically hack everything. Hacking is a huge weapon and ability for you.
We checked out some Recompile gameplay and it’/s not what we though it would be. It’s definitely all 3D and far more action than your typical metroidvania. We certainly like the variety of locations and how digital and data-like everything looks. It’s designed well. We like the sounds of the lasers, blasts and attacks made. Computer sounds which is very fitting here. We like how there’s multiple options and upgrades available from what we can see. We hope there’s more though. Recompile its about AI, data and computer stuff right? We would imagine that through data there should be endless creative means of upgrading and doing new stuff. Everything looks smooth and still smooth during combat. We are seeing quite the variety of enemies from snake like ones, to drones, shape build ones and others that look more like beasts.
Overall Recompile is looking like a very good game. Very different from what is already out there and we like that. We respect unique games. We like the good pace and platforming. We like the combat and the variety available. We aren’t sure how the finding upgrades and powers work though. We need more information. There’s excellent in game effects and lighting. The developers Phigames has done a great job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker look forward to seeing Recompile in action. Now Recompile may have data, AI and programs but all that too insignificant for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Yuoni is a first person horror game Developed by ‘Tricore‘ and published by ‘Chorus worldwide games‘. Yuoni is said to be coming out the 19th of August 2021 on Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and PC. Yuoni is taking a simple game concept and making it into a big deal. Let’s take a look.
Yuoni is set in Japan in the year 1990. It’s about Ai. She is a grade schooler. So clearly young and not Laura croft. She is in a world where the sun never sets. Ai is forced to play hide and seek. No this isn’t some friendly game. This is a lethal and deadly game of hide and seek. As in, of you get found, you die! So basically Ai has three choices here. Run, as fast as you can. Hide, very well or just die. That sums up the game really. It’s hide and seek but lethal.
What iS ai hiding from in Yuoni? There are shadowy beings that will harm her. There’s also some horrible creature which has many big eyeballs. There’s also what looks like a small demon boy too who will find you and drag you out of hiding. These enemies all have different behaviours. What’s worst is that these creatures are somehow start to “bleed into the real world”. That’s bad off course. We do hope there’s a good range of enemies in Yuoni.
These enemies have the advantage here as Ai is only 10 years old. She is too small and weak to fight. The enemies of Yuoni has weaknesses though.There are some enemies that are blind so you must sneak past them. Another enemy is deaf, meaning you can run past quick without consequence. The blind one can still here so you must use the hold your breathe mechanic. Your breathing is noise. So know when to hold your breath.So this makes us wonder what other behaviours and weaknesses these enemies have.
There’s items for players to find in Yuoni. You will need these items to escape the situation you are in. There’s also mentions and warning for players to “remember the paths you’ve taken or risk being trapped there forever.” This lets us know that there are decisions and options to make. How well is it done though?
We checked out some Yuoni gameplay and its sort of what we imagined. We didn’t expect the highest grade graphics or design but it does its job. We know that there’s more to Yuoni than shown as Ai’s friends are brought into this somehow. It states that they “harbour dark thoughts and harrowing secrets”. That children and can be more cruel than the spirits themselves. So there’s more going on for sure. We do hope the game gets more polished visually but keep that same wood looking style though.
Overall Yuoni looks like a simple game with a simple objective but a serious twist. We hope things are done very well. There’s more than one ending as the website states that after clearing the game, “another ending will become available to you.” The foes will be more challenging. That’s a good touch. The developers ‘Tricore’ have done an alright job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker hope Yuoni does well. Now Yuoni may have hide and seek but those games are too easy for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! is the new psychological horror game (it is) developed by ‘Team Salvato‘ and published by ‘Serenity Forge‘. Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! is said to be coming out the 30th of June 2021 on the Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, PS5 and PC. Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! is something are have been waiting for as well. Let’s take a look.
Monika, Sayori, Yuri and Natsuki are back. Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! is something that many gamers have been waiting for even though most of them don’t have the balls (or breasts for ladies) to publicly admit it. We were waiting for this game. We have really high expectations for Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! You can expect the same psychological horror from the original game. Twists and turns will be here also. Players should expect the game to mess with their heads. Maybe enter your minds as well and take your place in the real world… maybe… it could happen… It’s good to see Monika, Sayori, Yuri and Natsuki again.
Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! has improved graphics and visuals, full HD. There’s over 100 unlockable images like game art, concept sketches and wallpapers. There’s a full fledged music player. There are 26 in-game songs thanks to the 13 additional songs. So play what you want and even loop the same single song over and over again. There’s now 6 new side quests in Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! It’s been stated that these side quests are hours worth of gameplay. We will also get to learn the original of the literature club. This is good to hear but we have some concerns. Is this big enough though. So will it be the same storyline, everything the same for the most part but just added the 6 side quests? We need new things, big stuff and something more than the original experience. We will explain a bit why in the next paragraph.
Firstly because there has been so many mods for Doki Doki Literature Club that it’s amazing. Many people liked Doki Doki Literature Club so much that they put in serious work to build the mods. Some of them are seriously good. So good that it’s actually better than the original game! For example the best Doki Doki Literature club mod we have ever played was the Blue Skies mod. It has like over 20 hours worth of gameplay, full fledged character routes depending on which girl you pursued. There was new characters, there was Christmas and halloween (both events was fun). There was good and bad ending with the good endings mostly feel so conclusive like we can accept that ending. Blue Skies mod was so darn good. So off course the developers of the original game needs to do something new and do something big. It has to be big. If they don’t want to take the romantic dating route that’s fine since Doki Doki Literature club is mainly a psychological horror game, but it needs to be big. Do you see what we mean? Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! can’t just be Doki Doki Literature Club with side quests. Mods like blue skies will still be better. We actually really enjoyed Blue Skies. The developers have to go big. They can’t get outshined here.
Yes we agree that Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! coming to consoles is a big thing and the added side quests are exciting as we get to see what’s actually cannon. The mods are great and all but it’s all what the fan developer wanted but now we get what’s actually cannon and official for the characters. Questions we had like what’s Natsuki’s dad really like? What’s truly going on with Monika? Parents, the main character etc. What we would suggest is to have a much longer main story, have it more like an adventure. There may be more clear consequences concerning your choices. Make sure players can actually reach a conclusion (they have that we know). Take the mind games to another level maybe concerning patterns in the choices made by players or whatever. There must be more mind twists. Since most people have seen or know or played Doki Doki Literature club. It will be hard to impress or catch some off guard now without new things. So we hope the developers thought about these things.
Overall we aren’t excited for Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! but looking forward to it. X35 Earthwalker being the smartest, wiser and greatest video gamer of all time doesn’t get scared easy or caught out with stuff. He has played the original game and the best mod of that game. It will take a lot to impress herald quite a bit to bring a new experience. We don’t want a remake but that’s up to the very skilled developers. We like the additional things they add though like the music, new graphics and definitely the side quests. We will just have to wait and see. The developers ‘Team Salvato’ have done a good job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker are looking forward to and keeping an eye out for Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! Now Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! may have some psychological horror mind games but those have no effect on… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Halo Infinite is absolutely fantastic. We at X35 Earthwalker love Halo and have always been excited for Halo Infinite. We loved Halo 5 Guardians and reviewed it fairly. Many so called Halo fans were talking about doubts and worries. Such nonsense. 343 Industries have worked hard on all their games. We never doubted Halo Infinite. With all the game engines today, technology that we have and the new next gen consoles like Xbox Series X, which is the most powerful by the way, we can produce the most the most graphically impressive, features and mechanic filled games with top level performance. We are happy so far.
It’s Halo, so off course X35 Earthwalker will talk about it. Except we aren’t losers who all rush for views and stuff. We stick to our plans and do things our way. X35 Earthwalker will take over from here. I watched all the gameplay and more concerning Halo Infinite’s Multiplayer and I can say right off the bat that it’s absolutely amazing. The pacing is sort of hard to tell but it looks like a good speed. No drastic changes there. The customisation has been expanded and upgraded. You can customise: Armour core, Gloves, Coating, left & right shoulder, Visor, Helmet, Kneepads and gloves. That’s more categories than what Halo Reach had. There’s even weapon customisation too. I am happy about that one. How in-depth does it go? It won’t be anything big but nice touches that just makes it your own. So already there’s clearly new things and more to do. By the way Halo Infinite is developed by ‘343 Industries‘ and published by ‘Xbox Game Studios‘.
The multiplayer is more in-depth than ever before. There’s more mechanics. For example you can target and damage specific parts of the vehicle. You can destroy the tires which makes controlling the vehicle far more difficult. You can destroy the hood of the car and damage the engine. There’s a doomsday state for a vehicle where it basically means the vehicle will explode soon so either get out or use it to go out with a bang. There’s a new warthog like vehicle called the razorback which has the means to carry weapons, objectives, ripped off turrets and more on the back. The designs of some of the vehicles like the warthog and the banshee has a new design and they’d look more high tech compared to their previous design. The Banshee makes sense as it’s suppose to be the banished Banshee. We did see the VK78 Commando Tactical Rifle in action and it seems to hit quite hard. Feels more like an automatic DMR but obviously less damage per shot. There are new designs for the weapons too, so keep an eye out for the spankr rocket launcher.
Yes! Sprint is in the game and rightfully so. Spartans are super soldiers who run all the time… off course they should sprint. The grapple hook thing is here and has a significant role in the Halo Infinite Multiplayer. You can hook enemies to pull yourself towards them. This is useful for a melee kill, sword or hammer. You can use it for mobility like to get to certain places faster or harder to reach places. Like elevation advantage. You can also use it to grab and pull weapons to you as well. Grab the sword, the power weapon like a rocket launcher and more. I even saw it be used to get to a flying vehicle so you can hijack it. On top of that we are seeing what I can describe as equipment and spartan abilities. You can set up fields that block ballistic rounds. Sort of reminds me of the style of use of equipment in Halo 3. There seems to be an energy reflect spartan ability. In the gameplay the Spartan raised his arm and reflected back a charge plasma pistol shot at the shooter which connected, allowing for an easy kill.
I checked out more Halo Infinite multiplayer gameplay and it’s for the most part what we expected. It looks awesome, sounds very good, new weapons, more in-game mechanics, more abilities, more details and more customisations. We there are unlockables. Like how there was in Gears of War 3. You earn things through playing the game. There are battle passes for players to buy and work on. There is even an academy which is for training purposes. Work on your shots, warm up before going online and more which is an excellent idea. It’s more advanced than the training area in Apex Legends. There’s a lot to analyse but we are keeping things simple for now. We have off course included both Halo Infinite Multiplayer videos in this G-blog.
Overall Halo Infinite’s multiplayer looks phenomenal. Off course I will have to see how things go when we actually play it. I will have to check the weapon balancing, vehicle strength balancing, how frequently do vehicles and weapons get dropped into the battle and much more. Halo Infinite is going to be the best game of the next couple of years easily. There’s so much more that can be done as well. Now Halo Infinite may have a serious and fantastic multiplayer but ti would have been much bette if its development was led by… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Kitaria Fables is an action adventure role playing game with farming elements. It’s developed by ‘Twin Hearts‘ and published by ‘PQube‘. Kitaria Fables isa said to be coming out the 3rd September 2021 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and PC. Don’t let Kitaria Fables fool you. This is a serious game. Let’s take a look.
Kitaria Fables is set in the world of Kitaria where animals behave like people. Walking around, talking, got jobs, are soldiers etc. You’re in Paw village where you are… farming. Farming? That doesn’t sound like a hardened tough warrior for an adventure but hey it’s a job. So yes, you do farming, you attend to and grow your crops for money and survival. You also can get ingredients for cooking and meals. There’s crafting elements in Kitaria Fables too. Kitaria Fables is an action adventure game with Role playing games and farming elements. Sounds very interesting. We like it.
Kitaria Fables is a big adventure remember. There’s an actual danger and threat to the world of Kitaria. There’s a growing darkness. The areas around Paw Village are getting “increasingly hostile.” In fact the empire has actually called you to investigate. So clearly we are more than just farmers. You will travel the world and reach various different locations. Expect to come across and dive into forests, mountains, swamps and even deserts. We do like the variety but hope they stand out well. So explore to find and discover new characters who can be friends and of course new gear and weapons. Speaking of weapons.
There are real weapons in Kitaria Fables. Melee weapons like swords are here and we have seen a few designs. Some look cool. There’s projectile weapons too like bows. There are spells too. You can freeze enemies to restrict their movements or maybe take a dangerous enemy out of the equation. Maybe just burn your enemies for that additional damage. We know there’s more spells to acquire and weapons which means more options for combat styles.
What’s interesting for us at X35 Earthwalker is what kind of enemies does Kitaria Fables have. From what we have seen there’s humanoid or should we say animaloid enemies. Animals that wield weapons like bows and melee. So maybe there’s different armies that you need to watch out for. In the forest area there are shield bugs. This shows the areas have their own unique enemies. We did see a forest golem which was the coolest thing so far. After all magic is in Kitaria Fables so magical or mystical beings like golems makes sense.
What’s really awesome though is that Kitaria Fables has local co-op! Something more games NEED to HAVE! This means double damage, double attacks and equipping yourselves in such a way as to compliment each other. One can focus on freezing while the other can burn enemies instead. So yeah, grab your friend, or family and… well… water crops together… right?
We checked some Kitaria Fables gameplay and it’s what we expected. It gives us an animal crossing feeling for sure… but except there’s actual combat, monsters etc. We like that after your big dangerous adventure, you come back to a quiet simple farming. We hope to see more of what Kitaria has to offer. The graphics are good for what it is and what design this game is going for.
Overall Kitaria Fables looks like a very good game. Definitely deceptive at first appearance but it’s a real adventure game. Real weapons, real story, a real enemy/threat and many characters all with your own plots of land to do what you do best… farming. We like the cute but serious design that Kitaria Fables has. The developers ‘Twin Hearts’ have done a very good job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker look forward to seeing Kitaria Fables come out. Now Kitaria Fables may be cute but that doesn’t fool… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Hotel Life: A Resort Simulator is a simulation game developed by ‘Ringzero‘ and published by ‘Nacon‘. Hotel Life: A Resort Simulator is said to be coming out the 26th of August 2021 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and PC. Hotel Life: A Resort Simulator is about to bring that relaxed atmosphere to gamers. Let’s take a look.
Hotel Life: A Resort Simulator is another example of ‘you get what it says on the box’. It’s a hotel resort simulation game. Get a lovely holiday looking location, design and build your hotel, get it up and running and then manage it. You are in charge of everything. The design in Hotel Life: A Resort Simulator is simple. Choose the layout, select the doors, decorate the insides and build the best hotel you can think of or always wanted to visit. That’s keeping things simple.
The focus in Hotel Life: A Resort Simulator is off course to impress customers and keep them happy and coming back. There is some form of progression in this game. You can grow in the number of customers and thus grow in reviews too. That’s right, customer can and will leave reviews of your hotel. So take the feedback and make adjustments. Expand your hotel to become a full fledge resort. Add in an indoor gym for customers to spend their time and get buff. Don’t forget the pool. Maybe an indoor pool so there’s two options: Indoor and the beach outside. Experiment and get good (or we won’t be customers).
What we like also about Hotel Life: A Resort Simulator is that players aren’t left out of the action. You aren’t just some supernatural holiday building being. You actually control a character inside the game and help out at your hotel. You can wash the dishes, clean up mess, make the beds, place items down, organise and literally get involved. Not only that but you get to hire who you want from chefs and gardeners to entertainers. Then manage your staff to cover all hotel needs. Just make sure you have the budget off course.
We checked out some Hotel Life: A Resort Simulator and it’s what we expected. Hotel Life: A Resort Simulator does remind us of Sims though. That’s a good thing since we like Sims and know it’s a good game. We like that this is a calming and just straight up relaxing game. No stress, no real difficulty. Just build, get creative, manage and have fun. We like the building freedom as in you can construct things outdoors. There’s even stuff for children. What? Did you forget the some customers and full families with children? Shame on you. Players must take everything into account.
Overall, Hotel Life: A Resort Simulator looks like a simple but good game. Simulation games don’t get the best attention but they serve their purpose well for the most part. Hotel Life: A Resort Simulator has what it needs for hotel holiday simulations. Maybe updates and new content gets added over time. The developers ‘Ringzero’ have done a good job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to keep an ear open for what effect Hotel Life: A Resort Simulator has in the gaming world. Now Hotel Life: A Resort Simulator may have lovely hotel locations but better ones can be found with… the ‘Earth Walk!’
MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is an awesome game from the amount we have played so far. MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is an xbox exclusive. It’s a action mech simulation game where yo control different mechs and battle against other machines, vehicles and mechs in many missions. We haven’t played that long but sports far yes, this game is awesome. So we wanted to say a bit about this. Let’s take a look.
Firstly we must explain that MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries wasn’t exactly what we thought it would be. We got some stuff wrong. We thought there was a multiplayer where players faced off and you had to earn the means to deploy and use mechs in the battlefield. That part was wrong. We were right about everything else though. The vehicles, aircrafts, mechs, battles and there is a co-op mode where you can play and work with others in the missions using the mechs and pilots the main player has available. We do hope they work on a straight up multiplayer battle mode.
We at X35 Earthwalker already produced a gameplay video of MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries. It contained the tutorial which had quite a bit of action. Wow have since then gotten way better at the game, acquired multiple mechs, got two pilots and travelled around quite a bit. There is quite a bit to do but doesn’t feel like it though. In the earlier parts of the game you feel restricted. Your first big mech the ‘Centurion’ has weapons that you can’t really change. We got new weapons but the mech isn’t able to wield them. What a mech can use is based on their design. We got a new mech which is smaller and weaker and it can hold the new weapons but one at a time. The customisation of MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries needs to be stepped up. There’s a weight limit for each mech, so players better not cross that limit. We want more freedom with the mechs.
Now that’s also a big plus about MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries. Its very realistic. Your mechs having weight. The design of the mech dictates what it can be equipped with. Repairs and equipment swapping takes days to complete. Also, your mech can lose parts and limbs if damaged too much. You can even lose a whole weapon forever if for example the arm it was on got blown off. How realistic MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is is a strong positive. You haver details and lots of information on your screen. Your HUD is loaded like it would be controlling a giant combat mech. Even the controls are so weird. The MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries controls aren’t bad… but they are very weird. You control the bottom half of the mech and the top half separately. So you control the legs to go where you want, change direction, build up speed and even brake when needed while you control the top half to adjust your view and aim… all at the same time! It isn’t easy. You need to practice, unless you are X35 Earthwalker (which you ain’t) who is the greatest gamer ever and gets use to it almost instantly.
Once you are on the battle field things get real in MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries. You will encounter stationary defences, small vehicles like tanks which can be equipped to do different things like artillery, long range harassment or close range damage, aircrafts with heavy weapons, and off course mechs who are the biggest threats. The others are straightforward to fight but mechs have options. You can target the limbs or parts of mechs for different effects. Taking out a mechs leg will prevent it from moving. Destroying an arm would off course prevent it from firing whatever weapon was carried on that arm. If you straight up destroy the head/cockpit then you kill them in the fastest way possible. It’s tactical. You need to pick your fights. Decide whether to fight close up or keep your distance. Never be outnumbered in a mech fight. So bring allies. When you bring in ally pilots you can actually have a squad on a mission but be careful… they can die as well and that means you lose them. Pilots over time with successful missions can get stronger. So losing a veteran pilot is a big loss. Keep them alive in MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries.
We have lots to say about MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries but that’s all for now. We are happy to play more and hopefully get more options as we progress. By the way, the mech market sucks all kinds of crap. They never have anything good in there. Super expensive garbage. We at X35 Earthwalker hope the developer eventually brings out a full fledged multiplayer battle mode. Now MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries may have advanced big mechs but those things would all be destroyed by… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Second extinction is an awesome game. We at X35 Earthwalker love it, spend many hours in it, both solo and with random players. It’s best played with others but you can still go at it solo if you are a mad man/woman or you are super brilliant like X35 Earthwalker himself, but for you the reader it’s most likely the former. Just saying. Stop being triggered and read this thing. We have a few quick things to discuss here and it’s mainly about what others have said or done concerning Second Extinction. By the way we will do our own review as well. Let’s take a look.
Firstly we want to trash talk a lot of gaming websites that have the laziest low intelligence bum writers. Whoever runs their websites should quit. They suck. Here’s why we say this. X35 Earthwalker one day wanted to see other peoples opinions concerning who the best character in Second Extinction is and why. Normal stuff. He goes online and sees a website with terrible and inaccurate information concerning the weapons and characters. He goes to the next website and funnily enough that site has the exact same text as the previous sites. He went to another site and it also had the exact same ‘copy & paste’ text as the previous two. How lazy and lame must you be to just copy and paste the WHOLE thing. We ain’t pathetic wusses like many youtubers, we are giving the names. Here’s just some: gamepretty, gamesgds, steamlists, gamesutra, gameplaylists, gameplay, steamah and guiasteam. Sure these sites are small and not very good at all but there were real easy to find when searching for the best character in Second Extinction.
Above are just two screenshots of the text. We have screenshots of all the websites but this is just the text on the part about Rosy. The whole thing about all the characters is exactly the same. The one on the right (steamlists) adds one more sentence but everything else is still copy and paste. We will have to write our own character tips and ranking of them for you guys since as you can see others are useless at it. The problem isn’t only the copy and pasting but how bad the information is about Second Extinction. They claim that the minigun isn’t always the best thing. We have played for hours and used Rosy the most. There statement is false. The minigun is the best weapon always. It’s damage isn’t low, it truly shreds enemies as it should be. It’s powerful without the upgrades. Without any upgrades the minigun beats all other weapons.
When weapons are upgraded, the gap gets smaller but the minigun is still the best. The overheat isn’t a problem since the weapon cools down fast and there are upgrades that let you use the overheat to your advantage. For example there’s an upgrade that as your minigun gets hot, your bullets inflict fire damage and sets dinosaurs on fire. There’s another upgrade that when you completely overheat you release a powerful area of effect flame blast that damages and sets enemies on fire all around you. So overheating isn’t bad now. They said you need to “keep feeding it ammunition.” Duh! Well obviously. All guns you need to feed with ammo. No ammo means you can’t shoot. So that’s stupid of them to say that. Lastly the image on the right says that “it can be hard to hit smaller ones”. No it isn’t hard to hit smaller dinosaurs. With the high rate of fire it’s easy to hit them.
Lastly we want to discuss what it said about Rosy as that’s just as bad as what they said on the minigun. They said Rosy’s abilities are lackluster. What?! Do we forget about how Rosy be standing in the middle of a horde of dinosaurs and be destroying them all and surviving at the same time? No character can do that. The passive ability is not “negligible”. That passive ability helps keep you alive and saves you on med kits. If you don’t lose a whole health block, you will regenerate it back. That means you can save med kits until you truly need it. Other characters can’t do anything about their health. Remember you only can hold a maximum of 3 med kits in Second Extinction. The static barricades are easy to place and use and make a huge difference in a fight against a horde of dinosaurs. The developers need to improve responsiveness of controls though. Switching to grenades and placing static barricades suffer from bad responsiveness here. Lastly they said the “regen/buff ability might save you in a pinch, but not always”. Sure, true but of the original characters, Rosy has the best chance of saving your life. Your health gets low, activate Rosy’s ultimate ability and you get full health even when being attacked. It’s very strong. It also heals your team too. Her abilities are far from lack luster.
Overall this stuff from these terrible gaming sites is sad and embarrassing for them. It was also bad information too. We have to do our own review of Second Extinction with information, tips, and more. Actual god information. More proof that X35 Earthwalker is the best in all the realm. Second Extinction is an awesome game. So keep your eyes out for more X35 Earthwalker Second Extinction content. Now Second Extinction has terrible reviewers but you will find much better content from… the ‘Earth Walk!’
